lol, me too! I totally wasn't expecting what she did, geesh! And balancing on that double pogo stick/crutch thing ... respect.

i feel so guilty :-(

I think you have to start in a previous life! haha

what about creating a site like this: https://amalafoundation.org/ I think you gotta be prett high up on the learning curve to do that. Or is there an easy way? I'd be willing to go back to WP if I could be show a relatively simple way to set it up so it can be edited simply, and look like a normal website (not a blog). It would be good for our club because then other people could update content. One thing that left me cold with WP was the immense amount of information in the forums and all plugins available. There's just too much. When searching for an answer to a problem, or just a question of how to do this or that, it was very difficult to sift through all the possibilities and get the correct answer anywhere. Kind of like Daoism, lol.

haha, so did I and then I thought, naaaaah, can't be. Must be bread. Or a slab of marble? Marble cake?

I could be wrong about it being a loaf of bread, but I didn't say that. I can't be "wrong" about what it subjectively looks like me

I tried it for our website and found it very clumsy. You can select to have it display and fuction as website but it's still blogging software at the core. Editing text was a disaster, always fighting with the formatting. I think you have to spend a LOT of time with WP to get good results. It can be done, though, here's the showcase of WP websites: https://wordpress.org/showcase/

Looks like a big loaf of bread to me. I guess that could somehow be significant.

Do You mean a simple informative page? Or something more complicated?

Hello and welcome, Eshghan! :-)

Hello Michael and welcome. I'm looking forward to your contributions :-)

This is a facebook link to the photo collection that German astronaut Alexander Gerst has been posting during his journey: https://www.facebook.com/ESAAlexGerst/photos_stream I don't know if they're available outside of FB but I'm going to look around and see if I find a gallery somewhere. This is his blog: http://blogs.esa.int/alexander-gerst/2014/06/ Oh, getting interrupted... will expand the post laterz

well, I've been following Alex on Facebook all along, and downloading pics to the folder that I use for my wallpaper. Here's a link to his flickr album with the view of Earth from space images: https://www.flickr.com/photos/astro_alex/sets/72157644973526292/ I'm really loving these pics, and this spaceman, too :-)

For me, in practice, the golden pavilion is right in the middle of the diaphragm, the interface between the solid lower torso and the hollow upper torso. The close proximity of the heart and lungs, making them virtually inseparable, is significant, and elegant, as it places fire and metal into the same forge. Fire tempers metal and metal gives fire something to do, keeps it from flaring up (aka monkey mind).

Relax. Breathe. That's where I'd start

think of a tree as a great (as in very large) conduit between deep earth and high heaven. By giving it to the tree, you're letting it go into that great flow. The tree itself is self-cleaning, very effective at it. My favorite tree: the classic pine But not necessarily one with a hunter loft in it, haha. I also don't walk barefoot wherever human filth accumulates. I have a pet theory that if we were all barefoot all the time, there wouldn't be any filth.

Yes to trees. They proved the most effective therapists for the therapist when I was doing this type of work. Tree gong for just about anything, be it recharging or cleansing. Or just finding your way back to your center. Barefoot walking across the earth is a good idea as well, every chance you get. Salt rubs and salt baths I feel have a large placebo effect attached to them. But they do feel good. I suggest using base salts.

uh, no. I was writing about (n)objective, a noun indicating something we strive for or want to acheive, aka a goal or aim. There's no such thing as an objective objective, that's what I was getting at. "Our objective today is to be as objective as possible" is a self-cancelling statement. If I have an objective, I'm acting subjectively by default. And unless I can stop time, I'll always have objectives at some level or other.

It just occured to me that there's nothing more subjective than an objective. Curious.

awesome! ^^
