![]() It is founded in our thoughts it is made up of our thoughts. And I wonder how I can be even more present with thoughts and just observe them as they arise?Īll that we are is the result of what we have thought. The key is just being the observer, just being present… with whatever is, and allowing it to be… just as it is. But knowing that it does begin with the mind chatter that we all experience is the starting point – and to just be present with those thoughts and allow them to be. But ultimately to also let them go, along with everything else. Something to consider and if there is some merit, to reflect on. And I am also reminded that they are also just words. I am curious in reading or hearing about things that serve as good food for thought. So watch the thought and its ways with careīorn out of concern for all beings. The Buddha (talking about the practice of Loving-kindness or Metta) said, "Without a generous heart, there can be no true spiritual life." ![]() Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny. Watch your habits, they become character I refuse to live in the past I am now centered, sincere and sorry for all my past misbehavior."Īnd you know me by now…any suggestions or advice I offer I always remind you and include the following. You can balance any negative karma this lifetime when you have a serious ‘Mental Housecleaning.’ I explain how this can be resolved in your Blueprint by affirming, I’m not suggesting that because you do not win the lottery or have your desires and goals met immediately that your future as a happy-healthy-successful person will never be yours what I’m saying is that there are never any failures…only a delay in results. Perhaps they still have karmic imprints that need to be balanced? Is there still a lesson that they need to learn if they are stuck in a situation that is bleak? Trust me-if they accumulated good karma with sacrifices and good deeds in the past, they will be rewarded with what you might interpret as ‘good luck’ and their rewards will be showered on them when they ask. Follow Your Curiosity I have no special talent. After I concentrate on the person’s name and their request I always add, “if this is for their highest good.” I do this because I have no idea what they are to learn for the request that is now so important to them. Watch your thoughts, They become words, Watch your words, They become actions, Watch your actions, They become habits, Watch your habits, They become character, Watch your character, It becomes your destiny. I address all of the requests because I’m certain that our energy is the source that makes things happen. Most of the requests include winning the lottery, finding a mate, getting a job, or being healed from a physical challenge. I still receive letters, emails and phone calls from people asking me to direct energy toward their goals, desires, and wishes. Helene Hadsell, the Winning Sage (website: ) had this to say in a post I saw today: Both in what they are but more importantly, from a mindfulness standpoint, to just be the observer or witness of your thoughts and don't identify with them. It's just a reminder, to watch your thoughts. ![]()

![]() ![]() That means that some items that you might not think are liquids are considered to be liquids by the TSA security officers.Ī lot of travelers are caught out by spreads, creams, and gels. The TSA often says “If you can squeeze it, smear it, pump it, spread it, spray it, or spill it then it’s considered a liquid”. What does the TSA consider to be a liquid? It should be called The 3.4 – 1 Rule but then that wouldn’t have been as catchy. The TSA 3-1-1 rule is kinda confusing if you ask me. And only one bagper passenger – the number of bags limit.In a one quartsize plastic bag – the plastic bag size limit.Threepoint four ounces travel size bottles – the container size limit.We can now see why it’s called The 3-1-1 Liquids Rule. So you can’t get around the TSA liquid limits by bringing more than one carry-on. The 3-1-1 TSA rules only permit one plastic quart bag per passenger, that’s another limit, it’s not one bag per carry-on suitcase. TSA Liquid Limit 3 – Only One Quart Bag Per Passenger Most of them are actually larger than one quart but everyone seems to be getting away with it. You could also buy a reusable “quart size” bag from amazon. The TSA says a 6 x 9 inches Ziploc bag is quart-sized, but there are other bag shapes that are suitable. That would be 7 or 8 travel-size bottles packed in a quart-size plastic baggie. The total liquids limit for the TSA is probably around 25 ounces. The shape of the bottles makes it awkward to pack a Ziploc baggie to the maximum. There are 32 ounces in a quart, but you won’t be able to pack 32 ounces of liquids in your hand luggage. TSA Liquid Limit 2 – A Quart Size BagĪll your travel-size bottles must be packed in a one quart sized bag. Although, the TSA prefers to say you “voluntarily surrender” the liquid since you could, in theory, choose not to fly. If you exceed the liquid limit TSA will confiscate it and throw it in the trash. Generally, larger containers with more than 3.4 fluid ounces cannot be packed in carry-on luggage. So half empty tubes of toothpaste don’t qualify. It is the size of container that is important, not the amount of liquid in the the containers. If you are thinking 3.4 ounce is a strange number it’s exactly 100 ml and that is the standard maximum size of carry-on liquids around the world.Ĭheck this post if you want to get a feel for what 3.4 oz looks like. Travel-size means bottles that are 3.4 oz or less. You must carry liquids, gels, and aerosols in a travel-size container. TSA Liquid Limit 1 – Only Travel Size Containers Here are the three liquid limits that the TSA imposes. They want to make sure nobody is bringing a lot of liquids on the plane, just in case. This is why they are a security threat and why the TSA liquid limits exist. The x-ray scanners can detect weapons, but they can’t detect flammable liquids.Īny passenger’s liquids could be explosives in disguise. Crucially, the TSA cannot identify from the scanner whether liquids really are what they say they are on the label. The contents of your carry-on bag will be scanned by the x-ray machine. Transportation Security Administration’s official website outlines its liquid rules, but they don’t do a very good job of explaining why the liquids limits are in place. The Liquids Limit – TSA Rules & Guidelines On Bringing Fluids On Planes ![]() Let’s look at the checkpoint guidelines and the three limits. ![]() Liquids that you buy after the airport security checkpoint can be brought onto the plane without restrictions. They are about the moment your bags go through the scanners at the security checkpoint. ![]() The limits are not about the moment that you step on the plane. These liquid limits are enforced by the TSA when going through airport security. There are actually three TSA liquid limits for fluids, gels, pastes, and creams packed in your carry-on bag. ![]() ![]() ![]() GalaxyAutoShield Custom Fit Windshield Sun Shade Velcro fasteners make it easy to securely fold and stow this shade when not in use.

I explain this and a lot of other tips for making your mint bushier and more productive in this guide. Pruning or frequent harvesting not only delays flowering but is also a way to make your mint much bushier and more productive. If you don’t prune your mint or haven’t done so in a while, it is also much more likely to begin flowering. However, it can also mean that your mint plant is under stress for whatever reason, which causes it to flower early in an attempt to finish its reproductive cycle. It usually means that you’re doing things right. It is usually a good sign if your mint is flowering. It usually happens in the summer when the temperature is high, and there is a lot of direct sunlight, but stress-induced flowering can also happen because of poor growing conditions. The flowers are essentially the reproductive organs of the plant and the seeds are the offspring.įlowering is a natural part of mint plants’ annual cycle. The simplest explanation of why plants flower is that they are getting ready to finish their reproductive cycle by producing seeds. It likely won’t grow and produce leaves as fast, but it will also go for longer without flowering, as temperature and direct sunlight both play a big role in that. I have a full explanation and guide for that here.Ī more long-term way you can keep your mint from flowering for longer is to keep it in a partly shaded area instead of in full sun. If your mint has started flowering and you have decided to remove the flowers, it might be a good idea to give it a full pruning while you are at it, as that further delays flowering and encourages fresh and green growth. I recommend these since I have them myself and I love them. You can buy decent pruning shears pretty cheaply if you don’t already have some. That’s why I always recommend using some good pruning shears. Using pruning shears also reduces the risk of pests and diseases as they can make a much cleaner cut. Especially if the flowers have been there for a few days and the stem has gotten a bit thick and hard to break. ![]() You can sometimes also just pinch off the flowers with your fingers or nails, but there is a higher risk of damaging the plant than if you use pruning shears. Remove flowers or flower buds as early as possible to keep the plant in the growing and production stage for as long as possible. The best and easiest way to remove mint flowers is to use clean and sharp pruning shears to make a diagonal cut about 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) below the flower or flower bud. If you use the wrong technique for removing mint flowers, you risk introducing pests and diseases or otherwise damaging the plant. ![]() ![]() ![]() Still, Cobain quickly faced the effects of the Faustian bargain he had struck with the majors. To his credit, Cobain took an approach to spreading the wealth, whether by wearing a Daniel Johnston T-shirt or praising the work of lesser-known bands like Shonen Knife, the Vaselines, and the Raincoats. On the other hand, financial security had its benefits, as it did for any artist. This understanding formed the essential ethos of punk rock. Artistic credibility depended on outsider status and the social criticism that could be levied from such a position. Yet, the fact that such a recalcitrant attitude was quickly exploited for monetary gain by record labels became a dilemma that Cobain could never fully reconcile. It was a statement of attitude against such commercial demands. ![]() The LP wasn’t a crass bid for commercial success. But the insouciant album title said it all. ![]() The inside joke was that Cobain himself had worked as a janitor. However, only several weeks later, he could openly mock his own poverty and detrimental high school years in the video for “Smells Like Teen Spirit” with its demented pep rally and mosh pit dancing janitor. Evicted from his apartment in Olympia, Cobain had slept in his car in the weeks just prior to the final mixing of the album in Los Angeles. (Grohl also dated Kathleen Hanna at the time.) Cobain wanted to be part of the esteemed K Records crowd of Olympia, but his working-class roots contributed to insecure feelings of unworthiness amidst this elite, college-educated clique. The resulting songs on Nevermind were partly inspired by his relationship with Tobi Vail of Bikini Kill. Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon had encouraged Cobain to sign with their major label, DGC Records, and had invited Nirvana to open for Sonic Youth during a European tour in the summer of 1991. David Grohl joined in 1990, bringing steadiness and a new onslaught to the backbeat. By then, Nirvana’s debut album, Bleach (1989), had received significant critical attention. Nevermind had high expectations attached to it. Epitomizing his ambition, Cobain hand delivered it to KCMU (now KEXP), the University of Washington’s radio station, and then called in anonymously to request it when it wasn’t aired. Their debut single, “Love Buzz” (1988), was not an original composition but a cover of a 1969 psych-rock tune by the Dutch band Shocking Blue. Nirvana went through the usual rites of passage for a rock band starting out – lineup changes, frat party gigs, low-budget regional tours, and a fraught relationship with their record label, Sub Pop. Cobain had fortuitously met Buzz Osborne of Melvins while still a teenager, providing inspiration as to what might be possible. Nirvana, which Cobain started in 1987 at the age of 20 with bassist Krist Novoselic, provided a source of focus and stability. Cobain’s claim that he slept under the Young Street Bridge, which inspired the Nevermind song “Something in the Way”, is reflective of his perspective on this period, though this story has since proven to be apocryphal. Cross’s excellent biography, Heavier Than Heaven (2001), Cobain faced a litany of challenges that began with childhood in his hometown of Aberdeen, Washington: a broken home defined by an acrimonious divorce working-class parents with little wealth to spare a period of informal foster care and sleeping in hospital emergency rooms when he had nowhere else to go, among other details. The pressures of stardom provided another set of anxieties rather than a balm to those he had grappled with his entire life. Yet, this hard-won success proved not enough. In the space of 17 months, from the release of Nevermind in September 1991 to the recording of In Utero in February 1993, Cobain had achieved essentially everything he wanted – critical acclaim, financial security, and family life through his marriage to Courtney Love in February 1992 and the birth of their daughter, Frances Bean, in August 1992. The story has been told many times before, but the extraordinary success of Nirvana‘s sophomore effort and major label debut, Nevermind(1991), had been extremely taxing on the social world, physical energy, and psychological stability of Cobain. ![]() |
