LOL or you can use a technique an old friend of mine uses. Before going to sleep, bump your head on the pillow the number of times for when you want to wake up. 6am = 6 bumps etc. Funnily enough it actually works

LOL And seeing that we are here, check this angel: (Yup that's me in the kilt at our wedding day )

And if you are fast the url is still available

Impressive ... be sure to let us know when he steps into the octogon

Agreed

Exactly. Dao gives to all equally (i.e. birth) and likewise takes from all equally (i.e. death). It is only human emotion and feelings that will discriminate who is to be exalted and who is to be condemned.

Go for it !!!

I do believe it is a work in progress. And "Taji Bum" ... why the change?

Agreed. 17 inch monitor and I feel like I'm at the tennis And my profile tab is still hanging over the view new posts line ... grrr

Hehehe ... How'd I know you were going to say that But true enough it is that the above is only representative of the Self Cultivation expression of Daoism. We have to keep in mind that the Literati (philosophical) and Communal (religious) expressions are equally valid and no doubt would detail an entirely different set of "Noble Truths". I do like it all the same

Jess can't say for sure why her article got censored, her editor never said. She also made mention of the disharmony that existed at another conference at Wudangshan between the Western and Eastern delegates. That could also be reason enough for the censorship. True it is though that the "party line" Daoism in China asserts Laozi is at least a living historical reality and at best a deity.

I am not getting full editing panel either. This has changed since yesterday as well. And where did our cool TaoBums Logo go?

Yup. There is no proof to verify his existence, nor any proof to verify his non-existence (kinda Dao really). So the personage of Laozi fits officially into the myth category. But myth in the sense that it is a tale of power that kindles our spirit and inspires us to seek a greater sense of being.

Just to report, my profile tab in the top right is always open covering the "view new posts" link. Wasn't like this yesterday. Also page loads are bugged at my end. Often timeout errors occur and I have try twice to get things done.

please give us a break! I'm tired of all this chit chat, Off to climb a tree.

LOL just thought I'd add that I get a "special" version for my iPhone All the cool gizmos have been removed and I don't get the "View new comments" option Re: the width. I would say that the centered column is definately much better IMO. Wouldn't be too hard to change

With the fantastic new changes I think it would be great to get a live chat room functioning that actually gets used. The big problem is that no-one can actually see if anyone is in the room and we get tired of checking it out to find no-one there.

One of the new features is a more sophisticated reporting system which now allows moderators immediate access to any reports made by members. If you have an issue with another member's posts then the BEST way to do something about it is to use the "Report" button at the bottom-left (i.e. under the member's profile picture) of the member's post. Moderators do see these reports and do take action on them. If an no action seems to be take it is because either a. we have decided action is not warranted, or b. we have chosen to handle the issue privately by Personal Message which is the preferred method.
