Back Story:
Ronald Johnson, Ron to his friends, was always a good child. He was a tall, built boy with blond hair. He did well in school and never got in trouble. He knew that he wanted to join the US Marines when he grew up. When Ron was 19, he joined the US Marine Corps. He was one of the top members of his squad. When Ron was 29, he was sent over seas for War. Ron had such a strong punch, he would break several bones of anyone he hit. Because of this, his squad gave him the nickname "Bone Crusher".
During the war, he suffered a horrible accident, causing him to loose both his arms and legs. Surprisingly, he survived the incident, but his life was forever changed.
The Military had been working on a new procedure that would allow injured War veterans to be able to move and fight like they use to be able to. Hearing of Ron's accident, they asked if Ron would like to be the first subject to the operation. John accepted.
The procedure made Ron into a new Man and changed his appearance drastically. His arms and legs were extended and his skin was turned rock hard, making it extremely hard to pierce his skin with a bullet or knife. Some of his body was also reinforced with metal joints and plates. He was made a custom US Marine Armor Suit that covered his head and Chest. He could take the armor off, but he wore it most of the time to show support for his Country. Because of the procedure, Ron was not able to age. He is not immortal, but he would not show signs of aging.
Ron used his new body to fight against terrorist and anyone who fought against his country. He was given his own squad and was sent back overseas to fight in the war. Due to the non stop battle that Ron and his fellow soldiers fought, the war was won
When John returned from the war, he was shocked by the actions of the new vigilante "The Shadow". He agreed with what he was doing, but not how he was doing it. He did not want to anymore people suffer from the horrible deaths caused by The Shadow. After seeing multiple News Reports about The Shadow, he finally contacted the GCPD and traveled to Gotham to meet with the Commissioner. He was also introduced to Batman by the Commissioner. He was amazed by The Batman and how he was able to stop crimes with only his Mind, Gadgets, and his Fists. He took Batman's ways to heart, and vowed to only kill if absolutely necessary.
Since his trip to Gotham, he has moved there. He is the leader of the top Swat team in the city and does whatever he can to stop the horrific murders of The Shadow. He frequently reports in with Batman and The Commissioner, and together they try to find the whereabouts of The Shadow. Ron is now a full time member of the GCPD and and would gladly go back overseas to fight if another War was to come up.
The minute He was getting the fruit from the tree, His foot slipped and He fell down on an unusual surface. From this moment on, nothing would ever be the same again. He was about to witness a dramatic change in the way He perceived reality.

If you want to know how it all started, you can watch it here, but I wouldn't give a damn if I were you.
For “Knowledge is Golden” the inspiration was specific to the area which the mural was done. San Francisco is seeing its second gold rush with information and knowledge being the currency of today. SOMA, being slated to be developed as the new downtown of San Francisco with technology leading the transformation, is why we chose this location for our message.
Gold miners have been replaced by tech innovators. Pickaxes and shovels have been replaced with laptops and desktops. Though the times have changed, the human thirst for chasing opportunity remains prevalent in these times. And with this influx of new people, San Francisco culture as we know it will never be the same.
The concept of innate knowledge is not novel to the Nene. It seems to be much more common amongst avian species but it isn't simply something associated with our feathered friends. At Slimbridge, some nene goslings are incubated, hatched, brooded and reared by their parent geese. Like the one in this photo, is spends its waking hours scouring the surroundings, grazing and browsing on local flora. It seems to know exactly which plants to choose and which to avoid. The obvious thought would be that mom and dad have taught it just what to pick and what to leave behind.
On the other hand Slimbrige staff also incubate, hatch, brood and raise a number of nene goslings separately. It's necessary in order to maintain populations on the refuge, as many naturally reared goslings are lost to local predators. Aside from the daily practice of yoga, which this gosling seems to be engaged in, these goslings demonstrate the same selectivity when grazing and browsing as their naturally reared brothers and sisters. This would suggest some form of innate knowledge since these goslings have no contact with parent geese, until they have paired up and are released back into the wild. The opportunity for further research boggles my mind. There is just so much that we don't understand. #NeneGoslings #Slimbridge
Shot taken under the helpful guidance of my aunt Joanie, who doesn't really use Flickr but has an account so I'm tagging her anyway. ;)
My knowledge of birds, certainly the North American variety is very limited. My guess based on UK knowledge would be that this is a Jack Snipe.
If anyone can put me right please feel free to do so.
I have carried out a little online research and can see that this isn't a Jack Snipe, but a Wilsons Snipe, which is very similar to the European Snipe.

Einmalige, außerordentliche akustische Version von My ever changing moods, ein Muss!! Ich glaub, ich verliebe mich wieder in Paul Weller...
Das war der letzte Sonnenuntergang auf Rügen, ich glaub, ich muß wieder hin...
Stupenda, straordinaria versione acustica di My ever changing moods, imperdibile! Temo che mi innamorerò di nuovo di Paul Weller...
Questo era l'ultimo tramonto a Rügen, ora mi tocca tornarci...
Daylight turns to moonlight and I'm at my best
Praising the way it all works, and gazing upon the rest, yeah
The cool before the warm, the calm after the storm
The cool before the warm, the calm after the storm
I wish to stay forever, letting this be my food
Oh, but I'm caught up in a whirlwind
And my ever changing moods, yeah
Bitter turns to sugar, some call a passive tune
But the day things turn sweet for me won't be too soon, no
The hush before the silence, the winds after the blast
The hush before the silence, the winds after the blast
I wish we'd move together, this time the bosses sued
Oh, but we're caught up in the wilderness
And an ever changing mood, yeah
Teardrops turn to children who've never had the time
To commit the sins they pay for through another's evil mind
The love after the hate, the love we leave too late
The love after the hate, the love we leave too late
I wish we'd wake up one day, an' everyone feel moved
Oh, but we're caught up in the dailies
And an ever changing mood, yeah
Evil turns to statues and masses form a line
But I know which way I'd run to, if the choice was mine
The past is knowledge, the present our mistake
And the future we always leave too late
I wish we'd come to our senses and see there is no truth
In those who promote the confusion
For this ever changing mood, yeah
Wooo I finally have all (to my knowledge) the gowns from the first two movies! My Belle is complete!? lol A BIG Thanks to my boyfriend who recently purchased the BATB Deluxe Dining Set on clearance for $20. lol
Some notes on Belle's hair. From first glance, it looks like the cheapy stuff they use on the bratz dolls. It's actually not? lol It just looks that way....=/
I've actually brushed it out a couple of times and it hasn't frizzed on me!
" "What would Buddha do to search for perfect knowledge ?"
"Your mind becomes Buddha.
Your mind is Buddha.
All the Buddhas' ocean of perfect knowledge begins in your very mind and thought."
(Amitayur Dhyana Sutra 17)
Buddha doesn't have to do anything to gain perfect knowledge.
He knows he has it already.
He knows we have it already.
But someone we seem to be left out of the loop.
How ironic that we don't know we have perfect knowledge !
What went wrong ?"
(From "What would Buddha do ?" by Franz Metcalf)
Those two Tibetan monks were under the Bodhi Tree which is behind the Mahabodhi Temple, the place of Gautama Buddha's attainment of nirvana (Enlightenment), in Bodh Gaya (बोधगया), in the Indian state of Bihar.

TRADITON AND ANTITRADITION
291. Tradition means a handing over: the handing over of a supertemporal circle of principles here in time.
292. Tradition is the atemporal thrown into temporality.
293. Knowledge of the origin, knowledge of the path, knowledge of the all-transcending, ultimate goal: this is metaphysical tradition.
294. Tradition springs forth from the eternal, points at the eternal, and in the human modality of being represents the aspiration towards the eternal.
295. Metaphysical tradition is at the same time solar and polar: polar for though it appears in the earthly-human sphere, yet it is of heavenly origin and for this reason its origin is not subject to the whirlpool of existence (samsara), it is solar for the powers characteristic of my self-awareness which provide the rule of the auton are present in it.
296. There is only one primordial tradition for there is only one metaphysics, and there is only one metaphysics for there is only one being.
297. Tradition can never be identified simply with metaphysical doctrines or with symbology bearing a doctrinal value, and even less with the archaic documents that present these. Tradition is the total acceptance of a world and the total denial of another.
298. Metaphysically speaking, tradition is nothing other than »remembrance«, and the bearing of the connection with the origin. Modernity, however, is not only the lack of this »remembrance«, but at the same time the denial of this metaphysical »remembrance« and aims at the destruction of every kind of representation of remembrance.

Another shot from the stunningly beautiful Antelope Canyon. The one thing which I noticed while I was here was commercialized the operation of the Canyon has gotten. They just dump you into a truck which takes you all the way upto the mouth of the canyon and then herd you through the Canyon while you are tumbling around with your camera and tripod and others walking through your frame. The only thing which was bearable was the funny guides. I didn’t even think its worth while spending extra on a photo tour as I did because you are essentially getting the same tour.
I hope to do a tour of the Lower Antelope Canyon next time as its much less crowded and to remember to bring my tripod. Thanks for visiting hope you enjoy the shot…

'Spiritual knowledge is not something that you will be able to adopt by choice.' - His Holiness Younus AlGohar
Ronen is the friendly owner of Shorashim, Roots, in Tel Aviv. His is a place where you can walk in and strike conversations with him and the customers who happen to be there.
In 1999 Ronen graduated from Chinese medicine. His, and Ravit, his partner's dream, was to open a health center that would be different from other chains.
Their vision is to be a holistic center for complementary medicine combined with a professional team, therapists, treatment rooms, workshops, lectures and courses.
"The Roots Center has set itself the goal of promoting knowledge and understanding that everything starts from within, everything we put into our bodies is actually the fuel with which we fuel the machine called the human body."
"In recent years, we have placed increasing emphasis on diagnosis, consultation, and treatment with medicinal herbs that are personalised for each patient by our team of experts, and for this purpose, we have even opened a pharmacy room in the store complex to meet the needs of patients."
