Sunday's Lesson...

By paying attention to the way you feel, and then choosing thoughts that feel the very best, you are managing your own vibration, which means you are controlling your own point of attraction -- which means you are creating your own reality. It's such a wonderful thing to realize that you can create your own reality without sticking your nose in everybody else's, and that the less attention you give to everybody else's reality, the purer your vibration is going to be -- and the more you are going to be pleased with what comes to you. --- Abraham

USB Hampster Wheel

Do you sometimes feel that you’re caught up in the rat race of the working world, and that you are chained to your desk and getting no-where fast? Well we’ve found the perfect way to lighten the load. Now we can’t promise to take you out of the rat race but we can throw a hamster in there to mix it up a bit. The USB Hamster Wheel is an utter delight. Plug it into your USB port, load the software from the CD provided and get typing. As you type, the hamster gets running, spinning the hamster wheel around in the process - the faster you type, the faster he runs. This demented rodent sent shrieks of laughter around the office when we tested it, and is the ultimate parody of modern society.

Law of Attraction

Law of Attraction says, "That which is like unto itself is drawn." Vibrations are always matched. So, as you experience the contrast which inspires the new desire, this new desire, whether it is a strong one or a soft one, is summoning unto itself proportionately. And as it summons, it is always answered. It is the basis of our Universe: When it is asked, it is always given. Humans think they are asking with their words, or even with their action, and sometimes you are, but the Universe is not responding to your words or your action. The Universe is responding to your vibrational calling. --- Abraham

Light Saber "Puke Ray" in works...

The Homeland Security Department is aiming to arm federal agents with a light-saber-type weapon that emits a dazzling strobe capable of subduing criminals, terrorists and even unruly airline passengers.

It's the latest government effort to develop a non-lethal weapon — in this case, a powerful beam of light that temporarily blinds anyone who looks into it.

"The light could be used to make a bad guy turn away or shut his eyes, giving authorities enough time to tackle the suspect and apply the cuffs, all while sparing the lives of passersby, hostages or airline passengers," according to a description of the device from the Homeland Security Department's science and technology division.

The device works by temporarily blinding and disorienting a person, says Bob Lieberman, president of Intelligent Optical. Once aimed at someone's eyes, a series of light pulses and colors can be triggered and the subject's eyes can't adjust quickly enough to see.

"It's like someone shooting off a flashbulb in your face every few seconds," Lieberman says. "Because of the wavelengths and frequencies we use, there are psychophysical effects — a real disorientation. The reaction can range through vertigo to nausea."

That's why The Register, an irreverent online publication that covers the information technology industry, dubbed it the "puke-ray."

Flooding again in Bangladesh, Pakistan etc.

So every year we read the same news out of this part of the world. Monsoon floods strike Bangladesh, India, Pakistan . We see pictures like the above or worse
.
I hate to state the obvious, but has anyone though of building dams to control these run away rivers? Dams of course would create lakes and reserve water and when drought time come again, as it always does in this part of the world, the water could be released, relieving the drought through irrigation.
Tennessee and Northern Alabama was plagued with massive spring floods for a very long time. The flooding would also affect the larger tributaries of the Tennessee. This created much havoc and destruction. TVA came in the 1930s and built many dams in the region with the resulting lakes and now the wild Tennessee river is under control. Another side effect of the dams is the hydroelectric power generated in the dams. Tennessee was a very rural state and the TVA dams provided electricity to all areas. Needless to say that life improved greatly in the rural areas and in the state as a whole.
If India and Pakistan would stop making nukes and build some dams I think that life would be a lot better for the populace.

Out of Arkansas...

This one is good for a laugh....from a illuminated conservative no less.

If You Build It, They Will Come....

The Jesuits are coming! The Jesuits are coming!
So I guess we all know about Second Life by now. If you don't know about SL, go here to upgrade your knowledge.
Yes the same folks that literally hammered knowledge into my head in high school are invading the virtual universe in an attempt to save virtual souls. Or least slow down the rampant lustful and carnal behavior of its virtual citizens.
Jesuits want to spread the Good News to Second Life’s debauched netizens.
