Now, this I'd drive!

-

I tripped over the car for me! It's a hybrid, in more than one way: It can run on either gas or electricity and can be recharged on the existing grid and it is both motorcycle and car! I can totally see myself in one of these things (room for a passenger, too). Speed and ease while being environmentally friendly.

Now that you've watched that, go here and check out the video from the boys at Top Gear. I totally get their enthusiasm! It gave me a good laugh.

(Tripped over at the Norwegian arkitekturnytt.no.)

hey!
I just discovered you and I read your louise hay quote about teeth (aha - so i can blame my teeth deciding to cover themselves in tartar at rapid speed on 'indecision') aaaaah.
interesting.
moving on!
glad to read your quote about getting happier everyday. I made the decision 2 days ago - I was going to be happy and radiate happiness and deal with everything by being happy.
I do realise that sometimes not everyone is like that, so sometimes you do have to be respectful to other people also.
I also realised that I do self-sabotage often by being too ridiculous.
Anyway.
I noticed you are sagitarrius.
You are like me.
Hooray for saggy hairy a**es 'horses' who like to put their foot/hoof in it.
Do you know about eco-footprints also?

I know this may seem very random maybe I am not writing about cars, but you seem to be interested in green issues also.
Me too.
Bye.

i just watched the video to the car motorbike thing. It looks really interesting, from an environmental point of view, the fuel efficiency looks really good.
I'd be worried about the safety aspect of it though, with all the turning on it, I'd worry about falling off or being hit side ways by a juggernaut.

I'd have to go on a test drive at 90miles through the desert to test it out.

Interesting stuff.
What's it like off road I wonder?

Way cool, Keera!
I think it would be great fun... unless you're on the road with all those 5000 lb Hummers and SUVs like we have here. Not to mention semis.
:o

that being said, if I could afford one, I'd love it!

Hi, E. B. Lady and fellow Sag! If by eco-footprint you mean something like carbon footprint, then, yes, I've heard of it. My own carbon footprint is low, mostly by accident (it's just who I am), not by choice.

I haven't given riding off-road with the VentureOne any thought. Not really a consideration for me.

Sravana, those issues face a motorcyclist, too. The good thing about this car is that it offers more protection around the driver.

I love you. Thank you.

Some time last month, I was listening to a new spiritual podcast, and the speaker said that we can all heal ourselves and each other by stating, "I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you." Apparently, this series of four short statements healed all the patients of a psychiatric facility, simply by being uttered by a doctor while he was looking at the patient files. I was intrigued. So I googled the phrase and discovered it comes from a Hawaiian spiritual ritual called ho'oponopono .* I found a blogpost that described this "cleaning" process. I found an online article claiming that you can heal the whole planet with ho'oponopono because everything that comes into your sphere of experience is your responsibility.** I searched Amazon for books describing ho'oponopono. I bought Mable Katz 's book "The Easiest Way" .*** And her title may not be an exaggeration. After reading her short book, I have replaced my usual rit...

The ho'oponopono adventure continues

Ever since I discovered the ho'oponopono practice of forgiveness and healing about 3 years ago , I have used it, pursued it, and experienced healings big and small. I have taught it to a few friends. To my delight, they have embraced it and discovered for themselves the instant peace that comes with cleaning (as using ho'oponopono is called; you are cleaning your subconscious of unhelpful beliefs). My friend Alice showed me this picture she took from her hotel window in London: Every morning, I started my day by looking out that window. ILY, ILY, ILY. It was a beautiful way to start the morning. Every day, I felt the embrace of the city and I'd like to think that the city felt my ILYs. We certainly had nothing but pleasant interactions with people (and in fact, a few times, we had people offer unsolicited help!). I responded to her with this: The ho'oponopono "trick" of repeating to yourself "I love you" when in a negative situation really...

Getting my beliefs challenged

I own the extended DVD set of "What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?" , also known as "Down the Rabbit Hole". I can't remember now how my browsing the internet today started, but I ended up learning a lot about the science in "What the Bleep": It's terribly inaccurate. There are other inaccuracies or downright errors, but for the most part quantum mechanics only work on quantum levels, not at sizes like a basketball or a universe or even a mere atom. And that spoils all New Age claims that it is quantum physics that explain the Law of Attraction or any other woo-woo belief, like spontaneous healing, psychic phenomenon or near-death experiences. Dang. I was so hoping science could explain these things by now. My surfing has brought me to The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry . There I have found good writing, and proper skepticism. Not the finger-pointing pooh-poohing of beliefs, but rather a behind-the-scenes look at some claims and what's factually ...
