When I was in college, I had a public speaking class where we presented about ‘how to do’ something. You could have presented on how to change the oil in a car or how to get A’s on an exam. One student, it was a man by the way, talked about how to make cookies. His family owns a bakery and so he was used to making really, really good cookies. He gave several cookies to each member of the class and they were really, really good. I took that recipe home to my wife so that we could make some of them together. This is when I discovered that people who really cook, cook differently than the way that you and I cook.
Instead of having 2 cups brown sugar and 3 cups floor, it said, “0.5lbs brown sugar….” And he also specified in the recipe to make sure that you got the right kind of flour, etc or the weights would be off. I had never even heard of measuring by weights before that day.
Digital scales have again come to the rescue in this situation and have provided the answer to the public on how to cook better and more accurately. The advent of the digital kitchen scale has improved many a professional cook’s kitchen and can improve ours as well.
The underlying basis behind the need for a digital kitchen scale is density. Density is how closely together molecules are to each other. Amazingly enough, water and alcohol can have different densities (even though they are both liquids). So can different kinds of flour or even sugar. Have you ever wondered if 1 cup of brown sugar meant: left fluffy, packed in, or really packed in hard? A digital kitchen scale easily answers these questions by providing you with the weight, which is a measurement totally independent of density or volume.
Aside from making cooking/baking more accurate, it is a lot quicker. Instead of getting out all of your cup measurements and tablespoons, teaspoons, doing conversions between all the units, you can use a digital scale. The digital scale allows you to measure anything, solid or liquid, and to get a perfectly accurate measure of the ingredients. Ever have the problem of thinking you scraped off too much butter from the cup measure? Does it dip a little bit into the cup measure? With a digital scale you are assured to get the right measurement every time in a fraction of the time that it normally takes.
I have used a digital kitchen scale for quite some time now, and I must say that they are much easier to use than all of my volume measurement tools. It is less messy and much more accurate. Instead of the time-honored cooking technique of ‘adding a pinch’ or some other method, I can reproduce results the exact same way each time I cook. It not only allows me to have variation when I cook, but it allows me to know how I varied. If I think that the cookies tasted extra good today, better than yesterday, than I will know exactly what I did differently.
There are many great digital kitchen scales out there. Make sure you look around for the one that is most reasonably priced, has a fair amount of resolution (accuracy), is durable, and definitely the one that looks good in your kitchen.
Can a digital scale be off by how much you actually weigh?
Okay... I wear a size eight and that size is a little loose on me depending on the brand. Anyway, my clothes are looser on me. I feel like a lost weight, but based on my digital scale, I gained like 10 pounds. How is this possible if my clothes are a little looser now? I notice that my shirts and pants fit me better and that some of my pants are a little lose at the waist. Can a digital scale be wrong or am I delusional?
with time scales start to go bad and tell the wrong measurements,
the only way to test this is to weigh something you already know the weight on (example would be a bag of food) then adjust accordingly
or you could just compare it with another scale (but the problem there is you would be guessing as to which one was correct as then you would need to know for sure that the 'second' scale was accurate.

What do the Guardians of Paradise (white tiger and dark dragon) represent?
The picture of the white Tiger and dark dragon. They are often show with a yin yang in the background. What do the represent and what culture are they from. Thanks!
I do believe this representation is common throughout several oriental countries. It represents the eternal struggle of Earth (Tiger) and Air (Dragon). Like the Yin-Yang it serves to symbolize that excess in any direction is bad. Since it is only the struggle between these two great beasts that prevents them from destroying mankind.

The Soul Connection Network is the inner telepathic communication system of the human species. It is natural, dynamic, essential and alive It is used by everyone ... and has always functioned "behind the scenes." We are connected and communicating through quantum and psychic channels, 24-7. Through it we share thoughts, feelings, images, hopes and dreams with others on the network.
The human family has always been united through the Soul Connection Network (SCN), as it is part of our group psychic anatomy. It is essential for the continuity and continuation of the species. Our personal network is set in the vast webs of consciousness that link and unify all beings and all life in the Grand Universe.
Time and distance have little or no influence on the communications we share on the SCN, for the network’s platform and base of operations is the universal quantum field.
It does not matter where people are physically located around the globe as we truly are united through the SCN. We need not be or do anything special to connect, as the Soul Connection Network is always turned on and functioning. It is a part of our natural state of presence in our own here-and-now reality. We are always, effortlessly, transmitting and receiving information through the SCN ... while awake and asleep. Each being is a node on the network, and is simultaneously linked to others ... and to all of life through it.
Gateway to the SCN
The portal for an individual to connect with the Soul Connection Network is inside themselves -- in their Personal Inner Hologram. Access to the SCN is so ordinary, common and well-used, that many people cannot believe that a telepathic gateway exists right before them (or rather -- immediately inside themselves), but it does.
ach of us are subconsciously and consciously connected to the network through our own heart and mind. One type of connection is through a being's ordinary attention. The conscious attention is our personal spotlight of awareness, and we shine its light to illuminate the "things" that we wish to experience. We use our focused attention to see, feel and interact with the environments, beings and fields of energy that populate our inner world.
The inward-oriented attention that navigates the subtle fields of a person's hologram of thoughts, memories, imagination and feelings, is steered by the intuitional guidance system that emanates from the core of their being -- which is called the energetic heart. And, an individual's energetic heart is not an island unto itself, but is a tuning fork that shares the same vibrating fields of electromagnetic energy with other like-hearted and like-minded beings all around the world.
The common, everyday, internal imagery, the feelings, memories and dreams that we see and interact with inside ourselves, are packets of communication flowing on the SCN. Our ego may say that the thoughts and feelings that we see inside ourselves are our exclusive property, but they are not. Our most private thoughts easily leap the internal boundaries that some people imagine, instantly racing into the quantum field where they are reflected others who hold a similar frequency and mind-style.
Connect through the feeling heart ... the feminine nature that is present in all beings
Conscious, live interaction with others on the SCN, cannot be maintained and evolved to arrive at benevolent ends through a mind-dominated awareness. Our spiritually-oriented evolution and the destiny of humankind beckons us to the beautiful tones of the enlightened realms of unity and wonder that radiate from the quiet center of the vibrating heart we share.
The feminine-psychic-heartfelt-nature lives in all beings. To consciously connect to the SCN (and to maintain and encourage that connection), the logical, outward-oriented, male-dominated mind cannot be in the driver's seat and have exclusive control of the inner holographic show. Rather, it is the benevolent female principle inside your Self that unifies the subtle energies and establishes the psycho-coherence needed for conscious awareness of SCN interactions.
The feminine principle is universally recognized as a gateway ... an inward-opening portal to the birthing chamber of life. Through it we connect with our deepest Self (or you may call it the Higher Self, the Whole Self or the soul) and we empathize, mirror, and connect with others, and for others, as well. The male principle is outward ... the female principle is inward. The feminine nature is the portal from the outer world to the inner.
The role of our feminine nature in regards to conscious SCN connection is more significant than just its inward orientation, for the telepathic network of the species is consciously accessed by beings -- any beings, be they male or female -- who are fluent channelers of their feminine nature. The feminine nature is the part of ourselves that is benevolent, nurturing, inclusive, wholistic, empathetic, sensitive and intuitive.
We are connected to others around the globe -- most significantly to beings in our Resonant Families -- through common fields of vibrations. Embedded in our vibrations are holographic packets of images, movies, memories, feelings and much more. Differences in age, country, and language are no barrier to beings sharing info on the SCN, as the network uses the Intelligent Soul Language to instantly translate holographic content into ideas, words, pictures and feelings that makes sense to each individual’s current understanding.
Individual & group connection upgrades
ntil now, the only beings in physical form to consciously connect and function on the SCN have been spiritual adepts, psychics, ultra-sensitive people like nursing mothers, and of course, young children. We would all be consciously connected if it were not for the closing-off effects of the ego, the energetic patterns of chaos that cloud our natural awareness, and the social pressures to conform to modern cultures that have taken us far away from our native psychic aliveness. These elements have kept our identity and here-and-now-presence imprisoned in an hypnotic trance that has blocked our awareness of the SCN and its operations.
Again: ego, energetic chaos, and the pressures to conform to the social status-quo, hide our understanding of the fundamental unity of our species and the array of beings that each of us are intimately connected to. But times are changing and a new evolutionary energy is dawning. It brings what use to be the abilities of a few and the very young, to people who have quietly aligned their energies to the deep, mysterious and beautiful patterns of universal energetic harmony. Developing a resonance of authentic appreciation for the unity that underlies all, allows the multi-dimensional universe to be discovered in the landscapes of one’s inner existence.
Conscious group psycho-coherence is our certain future as we shift to more harmonious personal realities. Emotionally positive, harmonious inner realities are incubators for the frequencies that literally carry a future, sustainable, new type of life for our species. The increase of conscious communications on the Soul Connection Network will one day be common as first-hand experiences will be shared by many, often simultaneously in linear time ... which will surely be fascinating, mysterious and enjoyable. Communicating in this way will activate higher understanding of the synchronicity of life and open doorways to new frontiers that reside in the native wholeness and unity of our species.
Metaphorically speaking: some people currently have a broadband connection to the SCN, others a dial-up. But many people are now inclined to drop their ego and the fascination with realms of chaos that they have been aligned to. They are interested in allowing an upgrade to the high-speed, always on, broadband pipelines of the SCN. If you are not consciously sensing the Soul Connection Network now, you are invited to simply relax and let the awareness of it arise on its own. It is here, it is real, and you will be much more fully connected to it, and to each other, in the future.
Examples of SCN Communications to help clarify the limitless range of interactions and synchronistic features
To get a better idea of the Soul Connection Network ... envision the external world of the global communications system that we have today: People everywhere are connected through a seemingly infinite web of computers, phones, internets, emails, data streams and text messages. We are constantly and instantly sharing ideas, feelings, dreams, news, movies, music, and galleries of images across the global network. You are connecting with people you know and don't know. With your imagination, form a picture of all this vast complex system of hardware: the computers, cables, satellites, phones, modems and monitors that carry the infinite variety of information connecting everyone around the globe. Now, in your imagination, in the blink of an eye, instantly remove all the hardware from this picture ... but leave all the communication in place going from person to person around the globe -- images, feelings, ideas, concepts flowing effortlessly between people and groups. That, in fact, is a reflection of what is happing now and what has always happened inside ourselves on the Soul Connection Network.
For instance ... here's a common and obvious example of the direct linkages and functioning of the SCN: All of us have had experiences in which we are thinking about a person (the thought is experienced inside ourselves -- in our Personal Inner Hologram -- and we often see an image of the person appear in our mind), and then the phone rings, and the person that was flashing through our minds is now on the phone. That’s merely an outer confirmation for a subtle world of connection and communication that's going on behind the scenes, inside ourselves.
Imagine that this sort of thing is happening all the time and in extremely subtle ways. Because its so subtle, our constant communication has been well hidden and we’ve only noticed the external results of our telepathic interactions on rare occasions. But certainly, it has been going on all along and this is actually the primary way that we communicate with each other. Telepathic communication has always happened behind the scenes on levels that have been subconscious ... until now.
Another example: you may of noticed through emails and chat rooms that you and others are on the same wave lengths and are having the same thoughts and feelings, often simultaneously. Through our global technological connections, we are now simply confirming that we are thinking and feeling the same things at the same time with other people, but let there be no doubt that the thoughts and feelings were first shared invisibly between you, inside yourselves on the SCN.
As stated before: we've always been connected. Some have known this all along, others are now waking up to it. We are talking, connecting, sharing, collaborating, and living together through a rich inner world of energy, telepathy, shared feelings and thoughts. Since ancient times, tribal clans have used the SCN with greater awareness, but now that same native awareness of the soul's communication network is dawning in us. Increasing our conscious connection to the SCN is the goal, as our natural evolutionary trend is the expansion of consciousness, and to create personal and group realities that express wholeness, wisdom, benevolence and unity.
Human spiritual evolution unfolds through the SCN
You evolve inwards, ever in the direction of my creator soul.
("My Central Revelation," First Source Transmission, The Wingmakers)
Humanity is on an evolutionary path of transforming the current material-orientation of the human family into the energetic-heart-awareness of the sovereign soul, the collective, and First Source (Prime Creator).
The increase of conscious communication on the Soul Connection Network reflects our spiritual evolution: At first, we thought we were alone and isolated individuals. Then we realize that this is not true ... that we have always been connected to others, and in fact we are communicating rather constantly with our Resonant Families, behind the scenes. What was subconscious communication becomes increasing conscious, and we start working together on the SCN with more generous, mobile and creative rings of Resonant Families. We work on real projects that have real impact in society and upon the physical world. More conscious communication on the SCN illuminates our unity and wholeness. New frontiers are explored and discoveries made that were not even conceivable nor attainable when we functioned from isolated ego-based mind-styles and negatively-oriented energetic heart frequencies.
The combined effect of hundreds, then thousands, and eventually millions of people operating as unified communities on the SCN, is the "hundredth monkey" that catalyses the entire species to shift to a new harmonious reality.
The shift is so complete, it changes life as we know it: all cultures, religions, governments, educational systems, business and every personal and group relationship will be based upon the knowledge that the eternal soul is the essence and identity of the human being, and that the humakind is fundamentally connected and unified. As this understanding is assimilated, the human family gathers together the collective wisdom contained in all its experiences, and we finally become the benevolent shepherd for the planet. What appeared to be the final destination to our evolutionary journey, turns out to be a new beginning and a gateway that we enter. Stretching out to infinity before us is the spectacular, accessible, responsive, intelligent, multi-dimensional universe. The freedoms and abilities that we've just acquired, will now be used to explore it.

I'm looking for a drawing of the words "At peace with my soul" ( tribal like drawing)?
Doesn't have to be exact however it needs to be similar in meaning
i am doing my best to try & find such a thing on the internet, but there is so much to go through, perhaps there is a specific kind of tribal symbolism, such as native american, or celtic, or whatever that you are looking for can help.

Digital camera lens repair is as common as LCD repair, but it's #2 on my list because it's harder to repair and there are so many different types of lens problems whereas a broken LCD is a broken LCD no matter how you look at it.
Here are some basic tips to avoid breaking your lens:
- Do not leave the batteries in your camera in the camera bag. The power button can be pressed accidentally causing the lens to extend and get jammed because it cannot open properly inside the bag.
- Try not to drop the camera with the lens extended.
- Don't ever pull or twist on a lens that is not working 100% properly, you will just break it.
I would have to write a book to fully explain lens problems fully (hmm.. maybe a good idea!) so I will try and keep it simple and informative.
The lens is made up of many different parts... Let's start with the several pieces of glass referred to as the lens elements.
The outer lens element is prone to being scratched and scuffed, and usually has a special coating on it that you DO NOT want to clean off with isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol), or Windex or something similar. It's not the end of the world, and don't worry about it if it's missing. Just keep the lens clean (why are there fingerprints on your lens anyway??) and scratch free.
The inner-most lens element is responsible for the fine focus and resides directly in front of the CCD. When you press the shutter button half way down to focus, this part moves forwards and backwards till it's in the correct position and your image is in focus. You won't be messing with this part of the lens... unless you feel like removing the lens from the camera and then tearing down the lens to get at it's 'guts'. It's kinda fun the first time, but uh... I wish you luck getting it back together properly. The tearing apart stuff is fun, the putting it back together is a drag!
The lens has two small motors with their own gears that connect to the two main parts of the lens. The larger motor drives the lens barrel in and out when zooming. The smaller motor drives the fine focus element mentioned above and controls the focus. If you get ONE GRAIN of sand in these gears, they will jam and the lens will "error out" as we like to say. Open it up and clean it out if you like, but it's not easy. Typically the main motor of the lens has 5-6 different gears that must be set and aligned properly to function. But hey, your lens is already jammed, why not see how it works, right?
Then there is the CCD, "charge-coupled device" which translates the light that enters the lens into a digital signal that the camera can record.
There was a very large CCD recall by Sony over the past few years that covers many manufacturers and not just Sony, as Sony provided the CCDs to many others for their cameras. The defective CCD's cause the camera to take solid black photos, or purple/pink "dripping paint" photos, or they have repeating white horizontal or verticle lines on the images. If your camera does this, call the manufacturer and tell them you want a repair under the CCD recall no matter how old your camera is! IF it's on the list, you might get your camera repaired for free.
Got spots on your images that get bigger and smaller as you zoom in and out? Most likely there is a spec of dust on your CCD. You will need to remove the lens and then remove the CCD from the back of the lens and clean it off. Don't lose the gasket that goes around the CCD, don't get any other dirt inside the lens and don't leave any fingerprints! Tall order I know, sorry, I'm demanding. =)
Let's see... what else? Your lens is part way out, stuck at an angle becuase the camera was dropped while turned on. Now please read that carefully; the lens must be stuck part way out or all the way out, and one section of the lens MUST be stuck at an angle. The lens must not move freely at all for this section to apply, and you may follow this advice AT YOUR OWN RISK. The following repair trick works, but I am not repsonsible for your actions or anything you do to your camera.
Ok, it's stuck at an angle. Hold the camera with the angled part of the lens resting against the edge of a table, and the rest of the camera hanging over the side. Do not place the camera facing down with the "Canon Zoom Lens..." chrome ring section flat on the table. The rounded edge of the lens must be what makes contact here. Now... here is the tricky part... press the angled part of the lens back into alignment by pushing down on the lens on the edge of the table. Put your fingers on the LENS below the angled part to support it and press firmly but still gently (how do I do that? I don't know.. you just do it) and the lens will either POP!! back into place and work perfectly or it won't budge and no harm will be done, -OR- one of the "guide pins" that run inside a small track in the lens barrel will break off and you have just destroyed the lens.
I told you it was at your own risk!! Camera repair is fun... right?
Ok, how are we feeling about lenses? I think we have covered most of the basic problems, and I hope this helps you to get your camera repaired more quickly and cheaply!
would it be fissable to presume that a gravitational lens could create a pin hole camera effect ?
If for a moment we where to give credit to this hypotetical
fantasy , would it not be posible to belive that what we see is inverted , but maybe even the arrow of time of what we are seeing are inverted in respect to ours ?
No, I don't think so. In a pinhole camera, light from all directions passes through the hole in straight lines. Light always emerges from the hole at exactly the same angle that it enters the hole. With a gravitational lens, light is bent at varying angles, depending on how close to the gravity source it passes. This causes strong distortions, so usually there is not a recognizable image produced.
