Sourdough Pizza!!!

Sourdough Pizza

A customer of mine has asked me to make up a sourdough pizza dough recipe. He gave me his to convert, but I felt like being creative so I …

Made a preferment at noon with (this was fermented at room temperature):

  • 2 cups of ripened motherdough starter – 1 lb – 2 oz (motherdough is any starter kept at 80% hydration in the refrigerator to ripen for several days)
  • 2 cups of water – 16 oz
  • 4 cups of bread flour – 1 lb – 2 oz
  • 1 tsp salt – .21 oz – to control fermentation

Next day at noon I poured this preferment into my mixer and added:

  • 1/3 cup of oil – 2.60 oz
  • 1 cup water – 8 oz
  • 4 tsp Sea salt – .85 oz
  • 6 cups of bread flour- 1 lb -11 oz

I mixed the dough until the ingredients were well incorporated and then let the dough autolyse for 15 minutes. Once done autolysing, I mixed the dough for another minute on low speed. The dough really looked great. I let the dough bulk ferment for another four hours and then made up the pizzas. The dough weighed 5 lb 10.6 oz  and is a stiff dough at 58 % hydration although the extra oil makes it easier to work. It could have made up three large pizzas, but I let the little ones make up their own pizzas and I had some dough left over so I put it into the refrigerator to try out something tomorrow with “old dough”. I made up two large pizzas with the diameter of 16″. I was preheating the oven at 550 degrees with the baking stone two racks from the bottom. The pizza dough felt really smooth and silky, yet stretchy:

I had made up the sauce and simmered it for two hours to thicken and distribute the flavors.As for the sauce, I just winged it and added two cans of tomato sauce,some oil, a heaping tablespoon of minced garlic, some garlic salt, some onion salt and some Italian seasonings. It tasted great! My daughter prepared the toppings, which were, onions, olives, mushrooms, sausages and of course cheese. I didn’t have any Mozarella cheese, just Cheddar cheese. After I rolled out the dough some, I let it rest for a while so it could be handled easier and I could roll it the rest of the way. I made up two little pizza doughs for my little kids who don’t like anything on their pizzas 🙁 and let them put on the cheese. I baked their pizzas first :

Little Pizzas

I baked them by making sure there was plenty of Semolina under the dough and then I whisked them onto the hot pizza stone. For the larger pizzas I did something similar. I allowed the dough to raise for a while, about twenty minutes, spread oil over the top of the dough, and then I pulled, whisked, the dough onto the stone and baked it for three minutes to allow it to bubble up and set the top, after which I took it out using my nifty pizza peel ( I got one for Christmas!) and added the sauce and the toppings and then popped it back onto the stone for another 7 minutes.

(That’s burnt Semolina on the stone)

I placed the dough right onto the stone which was easy with the crust already somewhat set. Getting the raw dough onto the stone the first time was a feat though, just make sure you use plenty of semolina under the dough and it will be easy enough. By the way if the pizza bubbles up with bubbles that are too large, simply take a fork and poke the bubbles down. The pizzas were the best I had ever made and I got a lot of raves for them. They did suggest however that I didn’t exactly have it down EXACTLY right and maybe should experiment a LOT more to get it just right… 🙂

Here they are:

Pizza # 1

Pizza # 2

I really will have to experiment more with the pizza dough as it is really great to have it turn out so nice. Crisp, yet chewy, large bumpy holes, yumm! I have to thank Donald Hrascs for sharing his experiments with pizza dough with me and inspiring me to bake up pizzas tonight for dinner, my family thanks him too!

FORMAT – 12″ EP Compilation
LABEL – Retreat
GENRE – Deep House,Funk,Electronic

A1 – Session Victim – Harlequin
B1 – The Hints – Downtown
B2 – Iron Curtis & Leaves – A&F

Fresh off their acclaimed The Haunted House Of House album, Session Victim fire up the ep with something that seldom occurs nowadays: the cover of a modern Dance classic! Originally released on Deeply Rooted House by the enigmatic Rootstrax, Harlequin has already achieved mythical status thanks to its amazing bassline. Clocking in at almost eight minutes, svm’s version is a proper Funk workout that begins with rhodes chords, percussion, guitar melodies and saxophone licks over a long yet exciting intro. But as soon as the live bassline kicks in, you know that it’s game over and that people with or without true dancing skills will sweat it out on the floor! Add to that an enigmatic vocal, some rhodes and sax riffs coming at every turn as well as a few chord changes and this piece really is the closest Session Victim have ever been to sound like a proper band.

10 Pounds Sterling 2006

Mary Mitchell Slessor.

10 Pounds Sterling 2006

Mary Mitchell Slessor Mary Mitchell SlessorThe engraving on banknote is based after this photo of Mary Mitchell Slessor.

On background is the image of Mery Slessor working at the loom in a factory, in Dundee.

Mary Mitchell Slessor (2 December 1848 - 13 January 1915) was a Scottish missionary to Nigeria. Her work and strong personality allowed her to be trusted and accepted by the locals while spreading Christianity, protecting native children and promoting women's rights.

Mary Slessor was born on 2 December 1848 in Gilcomston, Aberdeen, Scotland in a poor working-class family. She was the second of seven children of Robert and Mary Slessor. Her father, originally from Buchan, was a shoemaker by trade. In 1859, the family moved to Dundee in search of work. Robert Slessor was an alcoholic and, unable to keep up shoemaking, took a job as a labourer in a mill. Her mother, a skilled weaver, also went to work in the mills. At the age of eleven, Mary began work as a "half-timer" in the Baxter Brothers' Mill, meaning she spent half of her day at a school provided by the mill owners and the other half working for the company.

The Slessors lived in the slums of Dundee. Before long, Mary's father died of pneumonia, and both her brothers also died, leaving behind only Mary, her mother, and two sisters. By age fourteen, Mary had become a skilled jute worker, working from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. with just an hour for breakfast and lunch.

Her mother was a devout Presbyterian who read each issue of the Missionary Record, a monthly magazine published by The United Presbyterian Church (later the United Free Church of Scotland) to inform members of missionary activities and needs. Slessor developed an interest in religion and, when a mission was instituted in Quarry Pend (close by the Wishart Church), she wanted to teach. Slessor was 27 when she heard that David Livingstone, the famous missionary and explorer, had died, and decided she wanted to follow in his footsteps.

Eventually, Slessor applied to the United Presbyterian Church's Foreign Mission Board. After training in Edinburgh, she set sail in the S.S. Ethiopia on 5 August 1876, and arrived at her destination in West Africa just over a month later.

Slessor, 28 years of age, red haired with bright blue eyes, was first assigned to the Calabar region in the land of Efik people. She was warned that the Efik people there believed in traditional West African religion and had superstitions in relation to women giving birth to twins. Slessor lived in the missionary compound for 3 years, working first in the missions in Old Town and Creek Town. She wanted to go deeper into Calabar, but she contracted malaria and was forced to return to Scotland to recover. She left Calabar for Dundee in 1879. After 16 months in Scotland, Slessor returned to Calabar, but not to the same compound. Her new assignment was three miles farther into Calabar, in Old Town. Since Slessor assigned a large portion of her salary to support her mother and sisters in Scotland, she economised by learning to eat the native food.

Issues Slessor confronted as a young missionary included the lack of Western education, as well as widespread human sacrifice at the death of a village elder, who, it was believed, required servants and retainers to accompany him into the next world.

The birth of twins was considered a particularly evil curse. Natives feared that the father of one of the infants was an evil spirit, and that the mother had been guilty of a great sin. Unable to determine which twin was fathered by the evil spirit, the natives often abandoned both babies in the bush. Slessor adopted every child she found abandoned, and sent out twins missioners to find, protect and care for them at the Mission House. Some mission compounds were alive with babies. Slessor once saved a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, but the boy did not survive. Mary took the girl as her daughter and called her Janie.

According to WP Livingstone, when two deputies went out to inspect the Mission in 1881-1882, they were much impressed. They stated, "…she enjoys the unreserved friendship and confidence of the people, and has much influence over them." This they attributed partly to the singular ease with which Slessor spoke the language.

After only three more years, Slessor returned to Scotland on yet another health furlough. This time, she took Janie with her. During the next 3 years, Slessor looked after her mother and sister (who had also fallen ill), raised Janie, and spoke at many churches, sharing stories from Calabar.

After this hiatus, Slessor returned to Calabar. She saved hundreds of twins out of the bush, where they had been left either to starve to death or be eaten by animals. She helped heal the sick and stopped the practice of determining guilt by making the suspects drink poison. As a missionary, she went to other tribes, spreading the word of Jesus Christ.

During this third mission to Calabar, Slessor received news that her mother and sister had died. She was overcome with loneliness, writing, "There is no one to write and tell my stories and nonsense to." She had also found a sense of independence, writing, "Heaven is now nearer to me than Britain, and no one will worry about me if I go up country."

Slessor was a driving force behind the establishment of the Hope Waddell Training Institute in Calabar, which provided practical vocational training to Efiks. The superstitious threat against twins was not only in Calabar; but also spread to a town Arochukwu on the far west of Calabar. There was an Elementary School named in honor of Mary Slessor. This is located in Arochukwu, a town west of Calabar, about three half hours drive away. The people of Calabar are Efik tribe though the popular Arochukwu town is in Ibo tribe. Both Calabar and Arochukwu share some common cultures and are in southeastern Nigeria, in Cross River State and Abia State respectively.

In August 1888, Slessor traveled north to Okoyong, an area where previous male missionaries had been killed. She thought that her teachings, and the fact that she was a woman, would be less threatening to unreached tribes. For 15 years, Slessor lived with the Okoyong and Efik people. She learned to speak Efik, the native language, and made close personal friendships wherever she went, becoming known for her pragmatism and humour. Slessor lived a simple life in a traditional house with Efiks. Her insistence on lone stations often led Slessor into conflict with the authorities and gained her a reputation for eccentricity. However, her exploits were heralded in Britain and she became known as the "white queen of Okoyong". Slessor did not focus on evangelism, but rather on settling disputes, encouraging trade, establishing social changes and introducing Western education.

In 1892, Slessor became vice-consul in Okoyong, presiding over the native court. In 1905 she was named vice-president of Ikot Obong native court. In 1913 she was awarded the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. Slessor suffered failing health in her later years but remained in Calabar, where she died in 1915.

For the last four decades of her life, Slessor suffered intermittent fevers from the malaria she contracted during her first station to Calabar. However, she downplayed the personal costs, and never gave up her mission work to return permanently to Scotland. The fevers eventually weakened Slessor to the point where she could no longer walk long distances in the rainforest, but had to be pushed along in a hand-cart. In early January 1915, while at her remote station near Use Ikot Oku, she suffered a particularly severe fever. Slessor died on 13 January 1915.

Her body was transported down the Cross River to Duke Town for the colonial equivalent of a state funeral. A Union Jack covered her coffin. Attendees included the Provincial Commissioner, along with other senior British officials in full uniform. Flags at government buildings were flown at half mast. Nigeria's Governor-General, Sir Frederick Lugard, telegraphed his "deepest regret"' from Lagos and published a warm tribute in the Government Gazette.

TGM (Jan. 2021)

I wish all my fellow collectors a Happy New Year for 2021!!! Let’s hope the situation with COVID-19 is much improved as the year goes on and that the vaccine is successful across the world.

My new notgeld book entitled ‘COMICAL GEMS‘ is my real important highlight for 2021. I have already sold a few copies so I hope that continues throughout the year. It really is a great publication to have and goes well with the other previously published ones I have out there. Lots of hard work has gone into creating this latest notgeld book of mine and the information it contains will greatly help and improve notgeld collectors and colleagues around the world. I will also be continuing to research interesting looking pieces and creating articles about them, that I will upload to this website, so all the passionate notgeld collectors will hopefully be able to improve their notgeld knowledge and even possibly purchase a few of the featured pieces from my notgeld shop. Good luck for 2021 and I hope your collections grow and improve.

Starbucks in Shanghai

Starbucks in China
Starbucks Reserve Roastery and Tasting Room opened Wednesday in the HKRI Taikoo Hui luxury shopping complex at 789 West Nanjing Road in Shanghai.

The first Starbucks Reserve opened in Seattle in December 2014, and the company plans to open a 43,000 square foot location on Chicago’s Michigan Avenue in 2019. More Reserve Roasteries are scheduled to open in Milan, New York, Chicago and Tokyo by 2020.

Starbucks has more than 600 coffee shops in Shanghai, more than any other city in the world, and has committed to operating 5,000 stores on the Chinese mainland by 2021.

“World’s largest, most lavish Starbucks opens in Shanghai,” Travis M. Andrews, Washington Post

Our efforts began in the fall of 2013

Our efforts began in the fall of 2013, when a small group of community leaders from a northern Virginia took a trip to Turkey. One of the many places this group visited was a refugee camp. The visit to the camp made an immediate impression on these community leaders, and before they even left Turkey, they resolved to make a difference for these refugees in dire need.

In a matter of weeks, they worked with local leaders and community organizations in northern Virginia and collected 6000 blankets and $10,000 as well as food and other needs, and delivered them to the very same refugee camp in January, 2013.

These same local leaders, together with Embrace Relief, collected six containers full of blankets and shipped them to Turkey. We collected $110,000, as well, for food and other needs. Embrace Relief distributed these blankets to refugees throughout cities that border Syria. We provided food assistance and blankets for 1200 refugee families living in Istanbul alone and sponsored hot meals for 4000 refugees during the cold months from January through April 2015, in Kilis.

Many thanks for your donations and sincere efforts to help bring comfort to refugees from Syria fleeing the devastation in their homelands.

2015 Goal:

We are continuing the coat and blanket collection again for the 2015 year.  This need unfortunately continues with the Syrian refugees in Turkey.  Our goal this year to increase our collection from 6 containers to 10 containers. The blanket and children’s winter coat drive will be held November 7 through December 5. The collected items will then be packaged and readied for shipping to Turkey shortly thereafter.

This year we will not stop with the blanket and coat drive.  The needs of the Syrian refugees do not end with coats and blankets.  Our goal is to start a school for their children to continue their education.  We will find the location, furnish the school with all needed supplies, provide employment for teachers of Syrian refugees and compensate the rent and salaries.

As always your support is needed in order to make this happen.  Your generous donations will provide children with education and employment to families in need.  Together with your help we can make a difference.

How to Organize Your Own Blanket Drive

You can organize your own blanket drive on your campus, in your workplace or in your neighborhood. We have drop-off locations in the Greater New York Area, in Washington DC or in the Midwest for your collections. You can also ship them to our main warehouse in NJ:

18 Passaic Ave Unit 1
Fairfield, NJ 07004

Whether you can start a collection campaign or not, it is always possible to help our cause through monetary donations.

Facts & Figures

The Syria conflict has triggered the world’s largest humanitarian crisis since World War II. Humanitarian needs continue to rise, population displacements are increasing, and an entire generation of children is being exposed to war and violence, increasingly deprived of basic services, education and protection.

Estimated number of people in need of humanitarian assistance inside Syria: 12.2 million

In hard to reach/besieged areas:
4.6 million

Estimated number of internally displaced: 7.6 million (UNOCHA)

Number of refugees – registered & awaiting registration:
4 088 099

Turkey: 1 938 999

Lebanon: 1 113 941

Jordan: 629 266

Iraq: 249 463

Egypt & North Africa: 156 375

Boosting a Bodybuilder's Natural Muscle Development

In a world where hobbies have become a way to escape the mundane of work or pandemic scares, every little bit of encouragement or support you can find may be the difference between giving up or pressing on. For the past few months, the world has been in a state of confusion and lockdown, as governments and healthcare professionals encourage social distancing and the shelter-in-place to avoid spreading COVID-19, a virus that has killed hundreds of thousands in a matter of months. Anyone with an interest in bodybuilding and weight loss that relied on a gym for their routines and support found themselves without their equipment or trainer, as fitness centers and gyms were mandated to be shut down. For these individuals, finding resources that can help their fitness and physique goals while at home are important. Sermorelin can be one of these resources.

Using Peptide Therapies

The medical community has relied on peptide therapies for years to improve the quality of life for various patients and conditions. As an example, insulin (though found naturally in the body) is a peptide hormone that has been synthesized for use in diabetics. Insulin is a main anabolic hormone in the body regulating the metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates through glucose absorption. The Human Growth Hormone is also found naturally in the body, and it helps regulate body fat, develop and maintain muscle mass, increase energy levels, and promote healthy functioning in the different organs of the body. The pituitary gland is responsible for the production of these growth hormones, and production levels are higher in children and adolescents. Younger bodies need to mature and develop, and growth hormones help this happen. However, when the body gets older (on up into the late twenties and beyond), the production of HGH starts to decline. This results in a reduced ability to burn fat, a slower metabolism, muscle mass loss, slower healing times for injuries, and degenerative conditions often associated with aging. Fortunately, research has found ways to inject peptides into the body to encourage elevated HGH production and restore and enhance the natural growth hormone functions.

Considering Sermorelin Therapy

The FDA originally approved Sermorelin, or GRF 1-29 NH 2, to help treat children who have growth challenges because of a medical condition. A few years later, the compound was also approved for use with different adult conditions. Knowing the benefits of Sermorelin, many who want to improve their muscle mass and overall physical often wonder should Sermorelin be used for body building? In order to answer this question, you need to know what Sermorelin does for the body. The abbreviated name means that it is an amino acid chain working as a growth hormone-releasing factor. Rather than being a dose of HGH, as is the case with some anti-aging therapies, this compound encourages the pituitary gland to secrete larger amounts of HGH. Because the overall effect is just to stimulate the function of the pituitary gland, there is increased safety with consistent use and a reduced possibility of negative side effects. It also tends to be a more cost-effective alternative to an HGH therapy. Though the therapy doesn’t give you a direct treatment of HGH, the increased production from the pituitary gland provides similar benefits to the HGH treatments. These include:

  • Increased development of muscle mass but with less fat. Muscles have the appearance of being more toned and lean, since the fat cells have melted from them.
  • Enhanced recovery times when muscular or tendon injuries occur due to a workout or sprain. The aging process takes a toll on recovery times, increasing how long it takes to return to normal functioning.
  • Improved stamina and increased energy levels. An increase in vitality makes it easier to pursue your favorite activities for longer periods of time and with more energy. This extra energy helps accomplish more things.
  • Decreased fat deposits. Sermorelin addresses fat build-up around the belly, thighs, hips, and buttocks. Increased metabolism helps aid in fat burning, but this compound also targets stubborn fat deposits that have built up over time. A boosted metabolism promotes weight loss, and when combined with the increase in muscle toning, the overall physique of the body changes.
  • Increased bone density and strength. Aging weakens the bones through lost mineral density. Lighter bones are more fragile and prone to breaking. Strenuous workouts could increase the risk of damage in these areas, and Sermorelin can be useful in a protective capacity.
  • Improved sleep quality. The pituitary gland produces the bulk of the body’s HGH needs during sleep, and poor sleeping patterns and habits can contribute to low production of HGH. Sermorelin produces much deeper, longer sleep patterns that encourage a healthier production of HGH. Improved quality of sleep contributes to a more rested, energized body to take on bodybuilding activities as well as giving the body’s muscles, tissues, and tendons a better recovery period.

The Negative Alternatives

Since many aren’t aware of how Sermorelin can have a positive effect on their bodybuilding efforts, there is often a move toward alternatives such as sports supplements and the illegal use of substances to improve their physique or physical abilities. The market for sports supplements that enhance muscle growth (when combined with exercise) has exploded, though many of the supplements can be damaging to the body. Tragically, there are some bodybuilding and weight loss enthusiasts that have lost their lives to the use of illegal supplements, poor nutrition, and overexertion. It is important to consider what product is used, where it comes from, if it is regulated, and the intended use before deciding a certain routine or supplement may be right for you. Sermorelin promotes a natural body reaction, which significantly reduces the potential for adverse side effects. The most common side effects are pain at the injection site, redness or swelling around the injection site, dizziness, or feeling flushed.

Individuals may also turn to a high consumption of protein in order to build their muscle mass more quickly. This has become a popular option for those looking for a more quickly-delivered result, leading to shakes, supplement capsules, and bars for legal purchase. Protein is an important part of your diet, as it contains the amino acid chains that help boost physical performance, enhance metabolism, fight against aging concerns, and promote muscle growth. Bodybuilders may use these powders or capsules at mealtime or between meals as a high-protein snack. However, there is danger in relying on a consistent protein supplement if the body doesn’t need it. While bodybuilders do use up more energy during their workouts and rely on enhanced muscle development, excess protein can get stored as fat and put a strain on the kidneys. Rather than putting your body through a roller coaster of supplement processing, Sermorelin can deliver a more consistent and naturally-based result.

A Choice for Everyone

Even if you aren’t a bodybuilder, Sermorelin may be a way for you to get back some of the energy and physique that the aging journey has taken from you. Since HGH levels start to decline by the age of 30, there isn’t a limit as to who Sermorelin can help. Whether it’s helping develop muscle and bone strength, increasing your metabolism, or giving your libido a boost, Sermorelin can give your body a chance to look and feel young again.

sirhc desantis

...or just don't use the crap. Problem solved.

This issue has been raised before. C'mon, its FBorg (et al), they are moving from offering 'free' shinies in return for strip mining you and now they want to coin it in by charging you hundreds of bucks to do it better?

I 'retired' too early, if its this easy now I just should have hung in for another decade.

Argo Nurmi

sirhc its already way too late to stop this train. For background read Shoshana Zuboff's Surveillance Capitalism. Google (do no evil) began this ball, of predictive advertising. Google solved the key data collection problems, their data scientists wrote the original US Patent, a "how to"
collect data on everyone. Everyone watched (who knew what to look for) as Google turned from a search company to a surveillance behemoth. But mostly they saw how easily Google turned your data into money. You are the product. Yes, welcome to the machine. Every industry is now retooling to use your data. Really? Insurance -your driving habits, communications - your cell phone (Google again, and Verizon and others), Medical. Travel, etc.just about any company you do business with is going to sell your habits and the data they collect about you, your emails, web choices, incidental speech in your home picked up by a certain applicance and yes, augmented reality is cashing in.

You know this, of course, but maybe you like the free stuff - we don't want you to be too aware of what we are doin. Think your browser isn't part of the machine? Think Facebook with their social graph. Think Cambridge Analytica if your still not tracking. Everyone piled on poor CA but they they had some regrettable sales practices that got them headlines, but, there are many like them. Academics who study how to push your buttons are to be found in the most respectable places, for example, at a certain University (which has the name of an ancient river). This is where they figured out the "how to" of predictive advertising. And it is transforming business - industrial capitalism is being replaced by a new source of wealth - you.

And I wanted to say something about the interview Hamlet did with Ebbe. In that interview Hamlet brings up some numbers which I think come from gridsurvey.com. Ebbe makes a face! That's because he's got better numbers! Why? because - well - the Lab collects data and analyzes it. If you wonder who has the most influence in SL, the real FIC, - its the numbers. Straight forward business data analytics. Let us pray that the Lab isn't going to monitize that data. Perhaps quirky habits by an avatar strongly correlate with a weakness to buy a certain private item. And being part of the Valley culture I am dead sure they think about it or have already been enticed by probably more than one high dollar consulting firm who tells them how much their data is worth (to an aggregator). I wish I could give you good news - that a revolution in ethics is sweeping the industry but I can't And we data scientists are as guilty as ever.

    An operating lease gives you full use of the asset without the burden of owning it.

Hey, Can I Call You Joe?

by on October 3, 2008 · 3 comments

in Election, Satire

So we sat down to watch the VP debate last night, in my case more for the anticipated entertainment more than anything. I’m no pundit so I’m not going to go into an analysis of it, but I have to say that I did chuckle at Palin’s slip up regarding John McCain and “recognizing he is the man that we need to leave — uh, lead,” her referring to Obama and  O’Biden and someone’s remark about a wolverine latched on to Joe Biden’s pant leg.

In case you missed it you can read the full transcript or watch the video.

I caught a bit about a text message poll and remembered the article here about how the public opinion polls have left out the cell phone users so I fired off a text message to the number they listed. Today I got a reply:

tks 4 ur vote & here are the results:

What candidate helped their ticket the most?

77% Biden

23% Palin

There must be some kind of liberal bent to this poll. I’m an Independent, exactly one of those folks either side is trying sway. I’ve been watching Palin and her running mate and there are points to ponder, I just may vote Republican this year because…

  • If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won’t have sex.
  • Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.
  • Global warming and tobacco’s link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.
  • Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush’s daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him and a bad guy when Bush needed a “we can’t find Bin Laden” diversion.
  • A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense, but it’s OK when you’re an Arizona Senator or the Governor of Alaska; a president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy.
  • A woman can’t be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.
  • Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals, Jews, or anyone different from you.
  • I’m a multi-millionaire and the tax breaks are great. I pay people to put gas in the tanks of my yacht, fleet of cars and leer jet. I don’t know what you think is wrong with the economy. It works for me and my billionaire friends. Stop your whining and make more than 5 million a year and you can see the tax breaks, and get your own golden parachute.
  • Once you are a hero you have that title for life regardless of what a manipulative liar and desperate politician you become later in life.
  • The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches while slashing veterans’ benefits and combat pay.
  • Group sex and drug use are degenerate sins unless you someday run for governor of California as a Republican, or marry a divorced Arizona senator.
  • HMOs and insurance companies have the interest of the public at heart, and if you can’t afford $12000/year in healthcare insurance you don’t deserve decent healthcare.
  • Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you’re an ultra conservative radio host. Then it’s an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.
  • Government should relax regulation of Big Business and Big Money but crack down on individuals who use marijuana to relieve the pain of illness. Who needs insurance when you can go to an Emergency Room? Just wait until you get the hospital bill and they put a lien on your house when you can’t pay it.
  • “Standing Tall for America” means firing your workers and moving their jobs to India, or countries that just hate Americans but love the almighty dollar.
  • Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution (unless that means giving the VP more power), which include banning gay marriages, not paying women equal pay for equal work, a minimum wage that believe $13000/year is enough for anyone to live on, and censoring the Internet.
  • The public has a right to know about Hillary’s cattle trades, but George Bush’s driving/military/police records, McCain’s houses, and Palin’s income tax history is none of your business.
  • What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the ’80s is irrelevant.
  • Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but trade with Communist China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony. Don’t forget the Saudi’s too – they’re our best friends.
  • Being pro-life means you care about fetuses but when they turn 18 you send them off to die in senseless and avoidable wars.

YES… voting REPUBLICAN definitely seems the right choice for me!

“I have to say that I did chuckle at Palin’s slip up regarding John McCain and “recognizing he is the man that we need to leave — uh, lead,” her referring to Obama and O’Biden . . .”

. . . considering “Palin’s slip up[s]”, did anyone else hear her say: “John McCain knows how to win a war . . .” Gee, I wonder what war was she referring to? The war in Vietnam? . . . whew . . .

oh and by the way, Welcome back obrag!!

Avatar Patty Jones October 4, 2008 at 12:39 pm

Hey Dickie, I can call you Dickie, right? Frank said the exact same thing about McCain knowing how to win a war.

And thanks for the welcome back! Honestly the editors didn’t tell me that we were suspending the blog, but then again, I’m a maverick! Or maybe just an uppity woman….

The virus expert Trump fired is set to expose Trump team’s failures in Congressional testimony

The virus expert Trump fired is set to expose Trump team’s failures in Congressional testimony

Sponsored Links

Dr. Rick Bright, the former head of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), found out the hard way what happens to government scientists when they choose to promote policies based on science rather than the opportunistic political goals of Donald Trump.

His experience being ousted from BARDA last month has led him to become one of the most important whistleblowers exposing the behind-the-scenes jousting over the response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Trump administration between medical professionals concerned with public health outcomes and economic and political advisors who are more concerned about the president’s rapidly shrinking prospects in the November elections.

Having refused to go quietly after being reassigned from his position as one of the nation’s leading vaccine development experts after clashing with political appointees at the Department of Health and Human Services when he objected to the promotion of the use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine — the drugs being touted by the president to treat the coronavirus — Dr. Bright is now scheduled to testify tomorrow before the Subcommittee on Health, part of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

CNN managed to get an advance copy of his prepared testimony, and it appears that the vaccine expert will not be treading lightly in his criticism of the administration’s response so far to the pandemic and will be painting a bleak picture of the future if the federal government doesn’t begin the rapid development of a nationally coordinated plan to combat the disease.

Sponsored Links

Add your name to reject Trump & Republicans’ vile idea of sacrificing seniors’ lives to save the stock market!

Sponsored Links

Dr. Bright plans on telling Congress that his warnings to senior officials at the HHS Department about a looming shortage of medical supplies were ignored from his first alerts in January until the end of March.

Sponsored Links

After urging the agency to ramp up production of masks, respirators, and medical supplies, his warnings were dismissed and he was “cut out of key high-level meetings to combat COVID-19,” Dr. Bright claims.

While he knows that “for now, we need to focus on getting things right going forward,” he still feels it important to point out the lapses that occurred during the initial phases of the pandemic when Health and Human Services officials “missed early warning signals” and “forgot important pages from our pandemic playbook.”

Dr. Bright also plans on detailing the political pressure he faced to drop his objection to the use of the drugs that Trump was early on promoting as miracle cures for COVID-19 despite the lack of evidence for their efficacy and safety. His fears were well-founded, as proven earlier this month when the FDA issued a warning to doctors about the potentially life-threatening side effects of using the antimalarial drug in coronavirus cases.

It is Dr. Bright’s warnings of a bleak prognosis for the future if the Trump administration does not get its act together that should garner the most attention in tomorrow’s planned testimony if his prepared statement is any indication.

“I continue to believe that we must act urgently to effectively combat this deadly disease. Our window of opportunity is closing. If we fail to develop a national coordinated response, based in science, I fear the pandemic will get far worse and be prolonged, causing unprecedented illness and fatalities.”

The vaccine expert’s dire warning of a rapidly shrinking time frame in which to act — combined with the denialism emanating from the White House — puts the onus for action on both Congress and the already overburdened and financially suffering state governments which, unlike the federal government, can’t simply mint money to address the crisis.

Dr. Bright will not be unprepared to offer prescriptive solutions to the problems to which he is starkly calling attention.

He will strongly urge Congress to push for a national strategy to fight the pandemic, emphasizing “tests that are accurate, rapid, easy to use, low cost, and available to everyone who needs them,” contradicting the president’s deceptive and deluded fantasies that these goals have already been achieved.

Still, it is the vaccine specialist’s Game of Thrones-like prophecy about the winter ahead if the nation continues with the Trump administration’s bumbling and inept response to the crisis that will likely resonate the most with a nation in the throes of anxiety over the future.

“Without clear planning and implementation of the steps that I and other experts have outlined, 2020 will be darkest winter in modern history.”

Hopefully, Dr. Bright’s dark warning will inspire Congress to act expeditiously to force the administration to take action with any leverage that they may have.

With a president still so self-centered that his own re-election takes precedence over the health and safety of the nation, however, it may make sense for everyone to prepare for the bleakest winter in modern times.

About Offshore Cruising Tenders

Dry.  Light.  Stable.

A tender which fulfills most of your cruising needs, not just some.

About Offshore Cruising Tenders

The Project

During their 7 years circumnavigation Russell & Karin Carlyon realized none of the tenders available in the market provided all of the key aspects they felt were important for a good tender. Russell’s background as a competitive windsurfer and high performance board builder provided us with the confidence to utilize high tech materials to build a complex light weight structure that we were looking for. To complete the design brief Russell collaborated with his old business partner of 17 years, Kevin Trotter from Styrotech CNC. Together they digitalized Russell’s concept and CNC milled the plugs of the design.

If you would like to know more about the history of Styrotech and Russell’s journey as a windsurfer and composite builder please click here.

Our Ideals

At OCT we believe cruising tenders should be light enough to be pulled up above the high tide line easily by a cruising couple. Cruising tenders should be a dry, stable experience and the tenders we use every day should stand up to the task. For this reason manufacturers of all tenders should take cruiser’s safety seriously. Cruising tenders should have a full rubrail for protection and total flotation. We also believe that maintenance of cruising tenders should be done easily, with materials at hand, in any location on the planet and it should not cost the earth. The maintenance time on your tender should not surpass maintenance time on your main boat. But most of all we know it is possible to have a tender which fulfils most of our cruising needs, not just some. And that is exactly what we aim to do.

Meet the family

Russell Carlyon

Kiwi to the core, Russell has been a presence on the oceans since he left his family farm in the King Country with his family at the age of 9. Passionate windsurfer, kite surfer and all things windy, building his own boards and sailing have carved Russell’s destiny.

Karin Carlyon

Born in Brazil and raised in one of the biggest cities in the world (Sao Paulo), Karin moved in 2000 to NZ to learn English, but fell in love with New Zealand and its natural “uncitylike” lifestyle. During her travels she ended up in the Bay of Islands where her love affair with the water (and Kiwis) started.

Brisa & Ilha

Brisa (Portuguese for Breeze) lived on board of Moonwalker until she was 3 years old and has a huge passion for the life onboard and the ocean. Ilha (Island in Portuguese) is one ball of energy that loves seeing the world from every angle possible, upside down preferably. There is no bad weather with these girls!

Harper's Bazar - December 1921

Blank greeting card with envelope

Availability : Usually Ships in 2 to 3 Business Days

14.9 x 10.5 cm

Cover of an early Harper's Bazar magazine.

Brief history of Harper's Bazaar magazine
Harper's Bazar was first published in 1867 and it wasn't until 30 December 1930 that the name changed to Harper's Bazaar. Originally styled along the lines of a newspaper and published weekly, it changed to a magazine style published monthly in 1901.

The already successful book publishers, Harper and Brothers, founded the magazine after the youngest Harper brother, Fletcher, was inspired to replicate a German magazine, Der Bazar, for an American audience. With elaborate woodcuts of fashions from Paris, London and Vienna, Fletcher learned that Der Bazar managed to publish duplicates of these images by creating agreements with other publishers who owned them from around the world.

It was America's first fashion magazine at a time when Paris dominated the fashion world. It was a weekly publication for upper class women published by the Harper brothers as part of their Harper's publishing empire, which included Harper's New Monthly Magazine (serialised English fiction), Harper's Weekly (a weekly news magazine), and Harper's Young People (to address the youth audience).

During its early years, Harper's Bazar featured the height of Victorian fashion with illustrations and photographs of the latest styles along with profiles of prominent socialites. As the years went on, Harper's Bazar continued to innovate and change with the times. Aside from showcasing the latest fashions from Germany and Paris for its middle and upper class readers, the magazine also included interior decorating tips, domestic arts and craft and fiction/essays from famous writers of the day, like Charles Dickens and Henry James.

FREE SHIPPING is available on this item to all Australian addresses. International postage has increased significantly in recent months. We will combine postage for multiple items but please email Bec for a quote before ordering if you live outside Australia.

2 Big Texas Oil Companies in Possible Merger “Texas Strong”

While Callon would acquire for $1.2 billion Carrizo, the sale is pitched as a merger of near-equals of Houston-based producers in an all-stock deal. But New York hedge fund manager Paulson & Co., which holds nearly 10 percent of Callon’s shares, is contending it’s a bad deal.

Texas Oilfield Caps

“The strategic and financial benefits of Callon’s combination with Carrizo are compelling,” said Callon Chief Executive Joe Gatto.

The deal would combine Callon, which focuses exclusively on the booming Permian Basin, with Carrizo’s position in both the Permian and South Texas’ Eagle Ford shale.

Gatto argued that scale is needed to make Callon more competitive and that the more mature Eagle Ford production would provide steady cash flow to help fund Permian growth. His presentation touts the expanded company as “Texas strong” with more diversification in the state.

Why I Have Single Mom Blues on Thursday

It’s Thursday! Most mommies are eager to celebrate making it through four workdays because the weekend is near. Not me.

At 5:00 p.m. on Thursdays, my heart hurts and the tears flow. My house is empty. The featured entrée for dinner is cereal. Why cook for a party of one? My long to-do list awaits me to keep myself occupied so I can ignore that I am home alone without a life partner or my daughter. It’s just me. Poor me.

I dreaded Thursday nights for almost a year after my daughter’s parenting schedule became effective. My coping mechanisms ranged from binge-watching TV to going 100 miles per hour for busyness to eating almost a gallon of my favorite ice cream. My friends would sometimes just show up at my door with a smile and not allow my pity party to happen alone. It took many quiet evenings, gallons of ice cream and pep talks from friends to switch my mindset from a lonely mommy to a happy mommy when my daughter is with her dad.

Thursdays are rejuvenation days.

Motherhood, especially as a single mom playing dual roles, breeds exhaustion as we give and give to everyone else. A friend gave me a pearl of wisdom to always focus me when no one else needs me. Forget the never-ending to-do list and prioritize the self-care. Get a pedicure, go for a run or a hot yoga class, relax in a bubble bath, or schedule dinner with friends became my priority. Thursdays rejuvenate me to be my best self and the best mommy.

Thursdays are unstuff the mommy bear days.

I am guilty as charged with putting on the super mommy cape and saying “I got this” when really I am a complete wreck inside. I call this unhealthy practice “stuffing the bear”. Find a quiet, peaceful spot and just sit. Let all your emotions percolate and surface. Feel the beautiful variety of emotions on that given day. As Carrie Underwood says, “cry pretty.” Unstuff the emotional teddy bear that lives inside of you. Thursdays bring emotional stability to be my best self and the best mommy.

Thursdays are my daughter’s days.

My daughter needs her father and the relationship that only he can give her. Children of divorce need guidance, love, and discipline from both parents through cooperative co-parenting and fair parenting time. No matter what the circumstances, you must focus on your children’s need for relationships with others. Your loneliness is not your children’s void to heal, stop, change or replace. Children need their days with their other parent just as much as they need their days with you. Thursdays are for our children.

Even when I am happy, the heartache and tears still exist every Thursday, or any day that my daughter is not home. (I am not stuffing the bear – win!) Some days it is short-lived and others it is not. Single mommy, the simple truth is that the loneliness will never go away because a piece of your heart is away. Focus on a plan to make those days about rejuvenation, emotional intelligence, and selflessness for the relationships that your children need with their other parent.

"Where's episode 4 Mr Teijens?" "She's bloody well left us in Egypt Miss Wannop."

“Where’s episode 4 Mr Teijens?” “She’s bloody well left us in Egypt Miss Wannop.”

Everything is finally repacked in a bag I haven’t tried lifting yet and I’m off to Iraq. In my 48 hours in the UK I’ve washed almost every item of clothing I own, applied for a post-doctoral research fellowship, been to the dentist and eaten an extraordinary amount of meat. The packing process hasn’t gone totally smoothly as I appear to have left my case of DVDs in Egypt; how am I supposed to cope when I still have two episodes of Parade’s End left? And it contains all eight disks of Evangelion, and most of my superhero films. I’m left with the dregs of my DVD collection – Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood, some old episodes of Hornblower and series 2 of Blake’s 7. It’s going to be a long old season. I’ve assembled an ambitiously intellectual range of books, mostly the ones I didn’t read in Egypt because I couldn’t be bothered with them and borrowed Harry Potter 6 and 7 from the dig house library.

The emptying of bags and shoes: if I save, one day I'll have enough for a desert of my own

The emptying of bags and shoes: if I save, one day I’ll have enough for a desert of my own

My parents have been very understanding about me arriving, throwing all my possessions over the floor, filling the washing machine with sand, filth and misplaced artefacts, eating everything in the fridge and demanding that we don’t watch The One Show. But then, they had a lot of practice all those years I was a student. My dad gave me £100 when he saw the state of my clothes; this is really quite embarrassing when one is over thirty (but not so embarrassing that I didn’t take it and buy some socks with only the hole that you put your foot in).

I also bought my sixth watch of the year and replaced another defeated sand-filled camera. The recently deceased camera made it over the 12 month mark which counts as a good innings in my tender care. I shouldn’t be given nice things. A fresh victim was delivered this morning thanks to Amazon’s one day delivery.

    Have you thought about trying a waterproof camera? I find not only does it keep water out, it also keeps out sand. Or they do make drybags for cellphones and cameras that you might try.

    As for watches, Fossil brand, L.L Bean, and Gshock are all worth the money. L.L Bean makes one that is wristband or a clipwatch that you hook to your belt to keep from bashing it on things.

      I’ve tried a waterproof camera but I found it bulky and wasn’t too happy about the picture quality, so when I dropped it down a mountain I didn’t get another. I also try keeping the sand out with sealable finds bags but somehow the sand always gets in. It’s not the sand or the material damage with the watches – somehow I’m stopping them with magic this year.

My word is my Bond

How Ian Saw James

Originally published in Litro Magazine

We’ve all had the sensation of seeing a film adaptation of a favourite book and thinking that the characters aren’t being portrayed as we’ve always imagined them; that the story isn’t being told properly. For the authors who first wrote the words the sensation must be much stronger and stranger, and there have been adaptations both loved and loathed by their original creators. The difference for writers is that they get the chance to respond in their own writing.

I started to think about this again recently as I came to the end of my sequential read-through – interspersed with plenty of other more nutritious reading – of the original Ian Fleming Bond books. I’d read a couple before out of sequence, but it’s fun watching Bond change and yet stay the same across a decade of stories. He never stops being a snob, a sadomasochist, a misogynist, a xenophobe, a homophobe: as Blofeld calls him, “common thug, a blunt instrument wielded by dolts in high places”. And until things start to fall apart for him towards the end of the series, he rarely displays the levels of character complexity that he does in his debut Casino Royale.

But something curious does happen in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. That something is the film version of Dr No that was being shot in Jamaica whilst Fleming was writing OHMSS at his home on the same island. And so, in OHMSS, Bond discovers his Scottish roots and Ursula Andress gets a brief cameo. Then in You Only Live Twice, as Henry Chancellor writes: “James Bond does seem to have become more relaxed – more like his film persona, and less like Ian Fleming.” And in the final full length Bond adventure that Fleming (almost) completed before his death The Man with Golden Gun, more of the gadgetry of the films finds its way into the prose. Then Fleming dies, escaping the cartoon character that his creation would soon become.

The worlds of book and film had in fact been blurring for Fleming for some time. He had

John McLusky’s Bond for the Daily Express

long envisaged Bond as a possible screen hero: he had flirted with various producers through the late 1950s, and the tenth book, Thunderball, started life as a film treatment, bringing with it the screen adversaries SPECTRE who would replace Bond’s traditional enemy SMERSH. And although Fleming said that he regarded Bond as a cipher for the projections of readers, he was nonetheless very specific about what he looked like, giving a good paragraph of description in From Russia With Love, and in 1957 commissioning a picture of Bond for the Daily Express’ comic strip of the character. I’d been aware of this image for some time, but whilst searching for it I learned that the illustrator John McLusky didn’t like the old-fashioned look, and redrew Bond. His version, as if presciently, is suggestive of Sean Connery. But as Fleming wanted, his own commission has hints of Hoagy Carmichael, David Niven and Fleming himself.

Niven had been Fleming’s original choice to play Bond on screen, and he did eventually get the chance (sort of) in the 1967 spoof Casino Royale. This makes David Niven’s cameo in You Only Live Twice as the name of Kissy Suzuki’s fishing cormorant (yes really) a very odd moment. Fleming was clearly not afraid of a little self-referential fun. Bond’s “obituary” in the same book talks of “a series of popular books [that] came to be written around him by a personal friend and former colleague of James Bond. If the quality of these books, or their degree of veracity, had been any higher, the author would certainly have been prosecuted under the Official Secrets Act.” At one point in From Russia with Love Fleming even has Tatiana Romanova tell Bond that he looks like an American Film star (Bond’s response: “That’s the worst insult you can pay a man!”) He is never, however, a lazy enough writer to say in prose which film star he most resembles. Unlike Dan Brown, with this Robert Langdon looking like “Harrison Ford in Harris Tweed”. I wonder if in the forthcoming Inferno Langdon will be described as “Tom Hanks in twill.”

Bond producers Cubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman wanted Cary Grant for Bond, which sounds more like the beginning of a sketch than a franchise. And if that seems screwy, Raymond Chandler, who would later become Fleming’s friend, wanted Cary Grant to play Philip Marlowe. Instead, the first adaptation Murder, My Sweet (1944) brought us a the oddly baby-faced tough-guy Dick Powell. Much more daring was Lady in the Lake (1947) which embraced the first person narrative fully with the film shot almost entirely from Marlowe’s point of view. As in the books, the reader/audience sees only what Marlowe sees and doesn’t have to spend time worrying if Robert Montgomery looks right as the famous shamus. The screen Marlowe everyone remembers is Humphrey Bogart, but there are a few things wrong with him if you’re a purist, not least the height. That exchange in The Big Sleep when Carmen Sternwood says: “Tall aren’t you” and Marlowe replies “I didn’t mean to be” is rendered as “You’re not very tall are you?” / “Well I, uh, I try to be.”

By contrast, I don’t expect Tom Cruise apologises for his height in Jack Reacher, despite the fact he’s playing a character written as six foot five. Lee Child was at least generous about the casting. “With another actor you might get 100% of the height but only 90% of Reacher,” he said. “With Tom, you’ll get 100% of Reacher with 90% of the height.” (Child’s maths is also a little generous.)

It’s unlikely that Reacher’s going to shrink in future books, but Child would be forgiven for incorporating some elements of the adaptation into future works. Once a film is out there, it’s hard for it to not infect literary sequels. Arthur C Clarke wrote 2010 as a follow-on to 2001: A Space Odyssey the movie not 2001 the book, and eventually settled on the notion that 2010, 2061 and 3001 weren’t really sequels, rather “variations on the same theme, involving many of the same characters and situations, but not necessarily happening in the same universe.” And while Gump & Co owes something to the 1994 adaptation of Forrest Gump (as I’m sure do its sales), Winston Groom was annoyed enough at his treatment by the movie producers that he included in the first paragraph of the sequel: “But take my word for it – don’t never let nobody make a movie of your life’s story.”

Stephen King is due to release a sequel to The Shining this year, but that certainly won’t have anything to do with the Kubrick adaptation. King so loathed that film that he ended up making his own TV version. “Kubrick just couldn’t grasp the sheer inhuman evil of The Overlook Hotel,” said King. Or perhaps he just didn’t want to make a five hour plodder with animal-shaped topiary that comes to life.

Maybe the best thing for authors is not to look at all. In last year’s BBC Imagine documentary, Ian Rankin admitted that he has avoided watching either TV versions of Rebus. Noting that Colin Dexter gave into the temptation to write Morse more and more as John Thaw played him, Rankin prefers not to be influenced by the screen personas.

I don’t think I could ever be that disciplined. The chance of any of my characters ever being adapted for the screen are slim, but it’s hard for any writer not to at least daydream of who might play them. But it also does writers good to remember that how they see their characters is not necessarily how readers interpret them. Every reader has his own casting director, and the chances are that they’ve already given the part to someone you wouldn’t approve of.

Will the Real “I” Please Stand Up! #2

By Atom Bergstrom

Atom’s Blog

Light is “both photon emission and wave precipitation” — duality, Yin and Yang.

According to Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) …

“And Satan is the Father of Lies.

“Consciousness is dualistic, phenomenal.

“This light energy is absorbed and observed in our environment as a dualistic principle.

“It can be measured as a wave and it can be measured as a corpuscle.

“And, therefore, there is no permanency and reality in light, and God is not light, for God is sound.

“Therefore, the Christ intelligence, or the conscience, is indicating that we can’t trust our consciousness, which determines its existence by light.”

The Silicon Valley conception of consciousness sidesteps base reality.

Will the Real Base Reality Please Stand Up! is not part of their playbill.

Bruce Lipton (“Every Other Movie Is the Blue Pill,” Exploring the Matrix: Visions of the Cyber Present, 2003) wrote …

“Small wonder that Neo runs back into fantasy. He’s living in the pixels, stepping out of a phone booth, and flying. That is his victory, limited and illusory though it is. The cyber-messiah didn’t change a thing, not really; when it came to the crunch, it was all smoke and mirrors. But you know, at least he got his head around it. He went to the bottom of the rabbit hole. And that justly made him everybody’s darling.”

Busting out of “industrial-strength deception” is a mere distraction to the Hollywood/Silicon Valley Dream Factory.

The money’s in the illusion, as any magician will tell you.

Cypher (played by actor Joe Pantoliano in the movie) is alive and well in Silicon Valley.

Christopher Grau (“Bad Dreams, Evil Demons, and the Experience Machine: Philosophy and The Matrix,” Philosophers Explore The Matrix, 2005) wrote …

“Cypher is not a nice guy, but is he an unreasonable guy? Is he right to want to get re-inserted into the Matrix? Many want to say no, but giving reasons for why his choice is a bad one is not an easy task. After all, so long as his experiences will be pleasant, how can his situation be worse than the inevitably crappy life he would lead outside of the Matrix? What could matter beyond the quality of his experience? Remember, once he’s back in, living his fantasy life, he won’t even know he made the deal. What he doesn’t know can’t hurt him right?”

This is the mindset of the Hollywood/Silicon Valley Movie and Video Game Dreamgasm.

Big Pharma is no different with everything from “mother’s little helper” to “kiddie cocaine” …

mood elevators

mood stabilizers

cognitive enhancers

It’s Better Living Through Chemistry …

“One pill makes you larger / And one pill makes you small / And the ones that mother gives you / Don’t do anything at all / Go ask Alice When she’s ten feet tall.”

Virtual Reality of any kind — culturally-induced, chemically-induced, EMF-induced — takes us deeper into relativity, otherwise known as MAYA.

According to Swami Nitty-Gritty …

“The designer, container, and occupant is all God.

“You and I don’t exist.

“‘Me’ is a state of is-ness.

“The unified field of me, I-am-ness, organizes relativity, which is personality.

“If the ‘I Am’ can understand its I-am-ness while asleep, the result is delta, in God we trust.”

      “Whatever the state in which I find myself at this moment, whatever the sense of the force I manifest, the highest possibilities are here, hidden by the thick screen of my passivity in believing in my self-sufficiency. My destiny begins when I feel the call of another force in me and respond to it voluntarily. This is my first voluntary act, becoming available to a reality that changes my purpose for living. I am here in order to hear this force, not to expect something from it or to appropriate it. I am here to understand the action that will create the possibility of a responsible life.”

        High Five !!!!! :-D

    3. October 22, 2016 @ 9:48 am Christopher

      Just dealing with stress is not the problem. Its the emotion connected to the stress, blocks the light from balancing a person back to baseline.

      If you are the observer to a stress but not the object.
      Is this another interpretation of Adano advocating being a MIRROR or a TOURIST in life!?

      • October 22, 2016 @ 3:58 pm Atom

        Exactly! It’s the anguish factor, not the stress itself.

        Stress in an engineering sense is a good thing — it keeps our tires from spinning on the road (like in an oil slick).

        Torture is different for a hypochondriac than for a masochist.
