We’re Not Prudes; We Just Want Gross Music to Be Pulled!

Monday, August 31st, 2009

For some reason people think that driving junk off of the radio airwaves is ‘censorship’. And we are all against censorship, right? But it’s censorship when the government does it; it’s the free market when we do it legally and legitimately. We just need adults to take charge.

Let’s take a typical hour in the car, listening to a pop music station, such as WPGC Washington, DC. Fortunately most of the hour is commercials. Normally, you wouldn’t want that. But in this case it is a relief. Why? There was a song about birthday sex, a song about a large penis (the song production included Beyonce, and I had thought she had some class. I was wrong.), a song with masturbation references, another about sexual positions, and another about nudity and the joys of weed. This stuff isn’t intended as adult humor; it’s too crude for that. It’s intended for 6th through 10th graders. We should not put up with it. But in today’s over-communicative world, it’s everywhere.

The key here is that for a free society, without government censorship, to work, there has to be something else: adults. For parents, that means turning off the radio. But we know that in this day and age, communications are a step ahead of parents. There are just too many sources, and the kids are too savvy — they learn early where the minimize button is.

Something should be done. This content is not OK. It is unhealthy. This isn’t prudishness talking here; it’s decency. In that hour of music there was not one — not even one! — positive message. It was filled with sexual content, but no hint of sexuality — that passion, caring, gentleness, and other traits that separate human intimacy from the animal act. Basically, what rap and hip-hop talk about is what pigs do. That’s as elevated as the conversation becomes. And it goes downhill from there. It glorifies pimps and gangs. These are two things that in reality have always — always, in EVERY case! — been destructive. So to see teenage boys cheerfully talking about pimping, or teenage girls playfully trying to make gang signs is more than disturbing. It is a sign of sickness in a society that claims to care about kids.

A free society means we are going to have freak shows. It also means people are free to shake up the system and push envelopes. Freedom does not protect us from shocking behavior. But when Snoop Dog, on national TV, leads a woman on all fours around on a leash, we all know it is wrong. And moms and dads should work to stop it. In fact, anyone with morals should step up.

What can be done to create a civil society? Well, we’re going to need help. We are going to need adults in positions of responsibility. Adults would’ve said, ‘No!’ to Snoop Dog and pulled the plug. Adults would’ve said, We care about kids and we are not going to allow music [like the hour I described] on the airwaves.

In a society that needs more civility and not less, adults are going to have to act. Not under government coercion, but because they are adults. With the incredible choices we have — local music, world music, all styles and types, there is no call for adults to choose the type of airwave pollution with NO value. Why allow the product of the underbelly of society to infect the airwaves? Why not choose, as adults, to take a higher road.


What Energy Crises?

The ever-increasing demand for energy is outgrowing the actual supply, leading us toward a serious energy crisis. We know that the energy we consume daily is limited, yet we continue to take it for granted. There is no unlimited supply of gas, oil, or even water. However, we are not taking sufficient steps to help head off an impending energy crisis. When I say ‘we’, I am not just referring to the governments but to all of us, the common people.

The Power Crisis : Find Out Here!

Oil and gas are becoming costly, and with every passing day, resources are closer to running out. Some misinformed people think that energy crisis is a myth. They fail to see the big picture. So far we’ve experienced three major energy crises: the 1973 oil crisis, the 1979 energy crisis, and the 1990 oil price hike, not to mention the many regional crises.

For the past several years, prices have continued to rise, due to the ever-growing demand for and depletion of our energy resources.

How long will our resources last? Are the skeptics right when they say we are exaggerating the problem, or is the energy crisis a real problem? Chew on this: We have already used up 50 percent of the available oil. At the current rate of depletion, the rest of the oil will finish in 32 years! What if it didn’t just continue at the same rate, but actually increased? And it’s likely to do so. So, even the present generation is likely to face an acute energy crisis in the later years, much less future generations.

Domestic Solar Panels Is Now The Most Popular Answer: Find Out Now!

What can be done?
Are we prepared for this impending energy crisis? What can we do to help prevent it? First, we need to understand the importance of energy in our lives and stop taking it for granted. We have to decrease our consumption of oil, gas, electricity, and any other fuel. The world cannot afford to waste any available resources. It is also important to spread awareness about the limited availability of energy resources. Simple actions like joining (or starting!) a carpool, shutting off your car at stop lights, and generally reducing the use of gas and oil in everyday activities can all help with the energy crisis.

What are some alternative energy options?
As a caring world citizen, start looking for alternative energy solutions like solar energy and wind energy. It is both practical and cost-effective to use these alternative power solutions. Not only can you reduce you utility bills but you can help contribute to better future for our world and generations to come.

GayMen’s Or Women’s Relationship

People live in a normal relationship, but really what should be considered normal? Just because two gay men or two gay women are in a relationship it shouldn’t be considered less than normal. That gay relationship is based on as much love as anyone else’s relationship.

Recently watching a program that was on TV it focused on transgender people and their lives. Very interesting as a point and part of this article now. Just because one girl, who wanted to be a boy, fell in love with another girl.

The way I look at it is this; I don’t have any problem with members of a committed gay relationship who love each other. If they want to marry be it two men marrying each other or two women, I’m all for it. And you know what, I’m also religious.

However, back a few years ago even people would have to hide the fact that they liked a person of the same sex. Feeling that others would look at them wrong, or call them names as so often happens. And yet our world continues in such a way.

People will still yell those insults and call people names when they are in a gay relationship. Isn’t it a shame that they are so closed minded that they can’t just let people be happy. No matter how it makes them feel, look the other way if you don’t like, but don’t insult.

Yes those stories, which no one ever looked at oddly, are accepted, so why shouldn’t a gay relationship be the same way? Open up your minds people and learn to accept everyone for who they are not what you feel they should be. It’s a new world and everyone should be able to be what they feel is right.

The Allure of Fantasy Jewelry

From fairies, elves, and dragons through to unicorns, the mythical Pegasus and even mermaids,fantasy figures have always been a popular theme. Both for young adults as well for those that are, shall we say, more mature,fantasy figures and symbols are very popular in jewelry items. Fantasy jewelry has also gone more mainstream with the recent Troll Bead line that incorporates the softer elements of fantasy jewelry into different types of beads, rings and pendants that are a bit less edgy than some of the more traditional pieces.

It is well appreciated by both men and women is one of the amazing things about fantasy jewelry. While the lighter more stylized symbols have been equally popular with women,the handcrafted designs of the traditional silver and gem pieces such as dragons, druids, ruins and circlets have been traditionally popular with men. The jewelry ranges from heavy to light, chunky to fine and highly gemmed and jeweled to plain silver or gold. Since there is such as wide selection of fantasy jewelry it is sometimes hard to categorize it into one big group.

Dragons, which form a great deal of the inspiration for many of the fantasy jewelry pieces are often shown in collections with semi-precious stones. Seen in these pieces,typical gems will be amethysts, carnelian and amber. Carnelian has a metal ore looking red to rust coloration with variations throughout the stone and is a relatively new gem in commercial jewelry. Dragons can be curled around the gem, embracing the gem or perched on the stone in rings, pendants and necklaces like silver dragon pendants, jade dragon pendants and so on.

Fairies tend to be very delicate, feminine and stylized and are very popular with women. They may be displayed in the setting with a gem such as lapis lazuli, amethyst, or sapphires. Often the fairy is in flight with delicate filigree wings and accents of roses, birds or vines. Again, like with dragons the fantasy jewelry for women can be in silver or gold and is often custom designed or one of a kind.


Subconscious Mind Power for the Ages

Monday, August 31st, 2009

Do you remember the movie, ‘Field of Dreams, with Kevin Costner? In the movie, he hears the mantra, ‘If you build it, they will come.’ You may not know it, but you have your own ‘field of dreams.’ It’s your subconscious mind. With your subconscious mind power, if you ‘think’ it, it will come. What will come? Whatever you want, truly.

In order to make are your dreams a reality, you have to work at it. This may involve taking on another job, owning your own online business, or just having a better self-assurance about yourself. Whatever the case may be, it’s important to understand how the subconscious mind power can heal us spirituality, mentally, and physically. The only thing you have to do is take control of its power.

What is subconscious mind power? If you’re still skeptical it’s not like you’re the only person out there. We understand how difficult it is to go from doing something you’re used to everyday to changing the whole thought process. However, it’s important to keep an open mind about the material we’re about to provide. The scientific or medical explanation is the Placebo Effect. This is most common when two groups are formed to take medication without knowing who gets the real deal and who gets the placebo.

A surprising effect happens with many, many trials. That is, those who get the placebo pill still often show similar results to those who get the actual drug. No one quite knows why, but oftentimes, the people getting the placebo show at least some benefit (perhaps not to the same intensity as the drug, but still experience benefits), even though the pill they’ve gotten has NO medical benefits whatsoever, as an inert substance. They also may experience ’side effects’ that they’ve been told the actual medication will give them, again, even though they’ve taken an inert substance. Why is this true? These people were told what the medication would do, and if they believed they were being given the real pill, their subconscious minds often gave them the ‘benefits’ and ’side effects’ of the real drug.

Think about this in your own situation. Perhaps you haven’t been involved in any medical trials, but when you go to the doctor, are you told a specific medication is going to give you side effects? If the doctor minimizes side effects to you, don’t be surprised. A doctor knows how powerful one’s mind is, and may actually think telling you will cause side effects; through the power of your subconscious mind. Therefore, a doctor may minimize these negative things, in the hopes that you won’t experience them. Suggesting them, in other words, may increase your chances of having side effects. And of course, they also want you to be compliant with taking the medication, so that’s another reason to minimize the negative effects of the drug.

So as you can see, the subconscious mind is incredibly powerful, and can produce powerful results, through both the power of the subconscious mind and the power of suggestion. And as it works in medicine, so, too, can it work in your life to create positive change. What’s preventing you from tapping into this most amazing power? You may want to use the power of suggestion to change the way your subconscious mind ‘talks to you.’

While focusing on your positive thoughts of the inner mind is a good approach, others tend to take a different route. In today’s world it seems that most people turn to using visualization to alter the way their mind sees things. This is can either be done by closing your eyes and picturing it, or see it in the flesh.

Another way to use your subconscious mind to change your reality is to actually find or create a physical picture. Let’s say, for example, that you want a specific kind of new car. Find a picture of that car in a magazine, or better yet, have a friend take a picture of you standing by that car. Hang that picture up where you can see it every day. The more you see it, the more you will imprint that vision of yourself with the car you want in your subconscious mind. And because your subconscious mind is so powerful, it will eventually make that become a reality.

This has been common knowledge for years, but we’re just now starting to put it into action. Well, some of us anyways, others have already utilized their secret potential hidden within the subconscious mind.

Quantum physics has opened the door to ’seeing’ and observing this world at its essence. Subatomically, all matter is energy, and is not solid. And, quantum physics has also shown that this energy can be manipulated through thought. In fact, it has actually shown that energy cannot exist at all without being observed by someone.

See, it may be hard to understand your first time going over the subject, but the subconscious mind is the reason your matter and energy is obtained. In the past we believed it to be the other way around. It’s a true testament to the fact that everything is created through the mind and why the subconscious mind is so powerful.

Remember how we were talking about the past and how others used it for many years. The most predominant area was amongst ancient religions. They were able to bring clarity to life and at times even accumulate supernatural powers. After being seen levitating off the ground and performing invisibility tactics, it was a true testament to what the future would hold. Somewhere along the lines we lost touch with this innovation, but thankfully it’s back in full swing.

At the end of the day you just have to ask yourself if there is something better out there. It may be a new career, a relationship, more time with the kids, or anything you’ve wanted for a long time. Whatever it is, you can have it by simply training the subconscious mind. Even though it sounds like a difficult task, we can help you make it as easy as it can possibly be.

What are they talking about, Easy Jet in trouble!

Monday, August 31st, 2009

There was a story that I spotted, that I couldn’t believe, but found out it was true. A very popular airline, Easy Jet, had humiliated a woman in front of other travellers by exclaiming to her that she was too fat too fly on their plane, and required two tickets if she wanted to board the flight.

As soon as I saw the headline, I decided that I should investigate further. I read on and couldn’t believe what I saw. So a lady had just booked your average flight with Easy Jet and was waiting very patiently to be boarded onto the plane. She was stopped from getting on the plane and was asked in-front of all the other passengers to step on to some scales! They weighed her and she came to a total of 15 and a half stone (98 kilograms), and then proceeded to tell her that she was “too fat to travel, and would need to buy another ticket to board the plane”.

Now 15 stone may be overweight, but it really isn’t all that much. In fact rugby players weigh much more than this on average, some teams weighing 18 stone on average. The problem that really shocks me is how this procedure was carried out, there was dignity spared for this woman.

I couldn’t believe that they actually placed her on the scales with the rest of the people waiting to board the plane as well. If you don’t believe me then search it on the Internet. And this woman is now taking legal action against the airline and quite rightly as well. Now I am a relatively slim person, but I don’t believe that anyone should be subjected to this truly disgusting behaviour.

Should airlines be allowed to get away with this? The problem is that when discrimination comes into this the airlines will soon have to build bigger seats to support the larger man or woman. What they certainly shouldn’t be doing is humiliating and embarrassing potential future customers and current customers as they have done in this situation.

For Christmas holidays, St Lucia holidays or Barbados holidays, maybe you should find an airline that will actually care about you, and treat you the way should be.

 


Searching for a great wedding photographer

The wedding day is one of the most special days for anybody. Most of the women have been waiting and dreaming of this day for them to be able to marry the man of their dreams.For the men’s part it would be the day when they will finally be able to live forever with the women off their dreams.  With it being so special there are so many important jobs to make that day special.  One of those jobs is for the wedding photographer.You should hire a good and talented one since it is one, if not, the most important job during a wedding.  So how do you do that?

Well as a San Diego photographer I have seen the ways couples have gone about trying to choose ones.  From my experience here are a couple of key points to look at when deciding.

First of all you have to anticipate your budget.It would not be good for you in case you find a photographer that you like but find out that he/she is too much expensive for you. Once you have decided how much your budget would be then that is the time you can pare down the choices that you have.  Of course since it is such a special day my opinion as a San Diego wedding photographer is to now worry about price.Since a photographer is given the hard task of capturing the magical moments of an equally magical day of a couple then the price should not be a factor. But if price is a deciding factor then you should be able to determine your budget for hiring one.Once you know the limit of your budget then it would be easier for you to look for a good photographer that you like.

Finally once you know your budget go on a round of interviews. It would be just like any kind of job.Would you just hire someone to be your employee if, for example, you own a business?Of course your answer would be no and definitely you should also not do this when looking for a photographer.You would want to know if you are compatible personality wise.  You will want to see their work.  And from my experience as an San Diego photographer, you want to see how much experience they have dealing with weddings. If you do a round of interviews you will definitely find the photographer you are looking for.
