Book Description This leading-edge CD set by Esther and Jerry Hicks, who present the teachings of the Non-Physical entity Abraham, will help you understand the emotions that you’ve been experiencing all of your life. Instead of the out-of-control, knee-jerk reactions that most people have to their ever-changing life experience, this work will put those responses into a broader context. You’ll come to understand what emotions are, what each of them means, and how to effectively utilize your new awareness of them. As you listen, you’ll come to appreciate, and make peace with, where you are right now, even though there is so much more that you may desire. Every thought you absorb will bring you to a greater understanding of your own personal value and will show you how to open your own doors to whatever you may wish to be, do, or have.

Description: The play takes place at the summer solstice, Midsummer Eve, in Athens, where everyone is pining away for the wrong person--except Theseus, the Duke, and his fiancie, Hippolyta, whose wedding day is fast approaching. Hermia, the Duke`s daughter, is intent on marrying Lysander, although her father disapproves and threatens to force her into a nunnery if she refuses to marry his choice, Demetrius. But Demetrius loves Helena, and Lysander and Hermia plan to elope despite the Duke`s orders. Meanwhile, in a subplot, the "rude mechanicals" (or artisans) Quince, Snug, Flute, Snout, Starveling, and Bottom, are hilariously rehearsing the play PYRAMUS AND THISBE to be performed at the Duke`s wedding. As Hermia and Lysander head into the Forest of Arden to elope, with Helena and Demetrius following, the amateur acting troupe likewise takes cover in the forest to rehearse in privacy. This leads all the players into the realm of magic, presided over by the King and Queen of the Fairies,... See less

Simply press the button and the TV-B-Gone will switch off 99% of televisions and virtually anything with an infrared port. There are over 400 "off" sequences preprogrammed on this handy device. It will keep scanning until it finds the correct off frequency. It is mainly used for TVs, but equally effective on LCDs, DVDs and many other devices. The fun is endless! Imagine you're at the pub, a penalty is about to be taken...you press the button...the TV switches off. TV-B-Gone works best when used under 7 metres from the television set, although in optimum conditions can work over twice that distance! As it only has one button, it's incredibly easy to use: * Point the key fob-sized unit towards a TV set * Press the button once (no need to hold it down) * The remote will then send out a sequence of "off" codes * 90 percent of televisions should turn off within the first 17 seconds, although it cycles through every code in its database within 69 seconds See less

description: Beautiful Mutants by Mark Mothersbaugh Mark Mothersbaugh's art leds the viewer to see the hidden mutant in us all. The artist renders a study of humans via symmetry, using photos, both recent and vintage, in which each photograph, like the "self" in Jungian analysis, is transformed to emerge from its chrysalis as something with expected and uninvestigated properties. It no longer represents anything immediately known; rather, it now appears in a double guise, as both known and unknown. Mothersbaugh's images are real yet unreal, of this world yet otherworldly, mysterious yet deeply, if unconsciously, meaningful. The mutants are taken from nature in the form of images pulled from man's past, then corrected into sickeningly beautiful beings to become, through this "correction," symbolic. They convey meaning, yet depend on the viewer to complete that meaning as an intuitive, internal act. The more "mutated" the image, the more intuitive the responses. Embossed hardcover; 288...

description: Visions from Within the Mechanism: The Industrial Surrealism of Jeffery Scott (1019) Is this the work of a visual genius or a visionary madman? Or both? Jeffery Scott is a photographic liar. The stunning and hyper-realistic photography presented here is not captured in real time, but through a laborious process of manipulation. Each picture represents an average of fifty hours of meticulous work in which elements are assembled from dozens of images to construct the combined whole. Mr. Scott conjures amazing characters, environments and situations that thoroughly blur the line between the real and the imagined. Layer upon layer of information reveals in-depth philosophies, concepts and stories. Thought-provoking titles communicate ideas between artist and viewer. This is a stunning introduction to deep emotive and contemplative realms. Jeffery Scott (1019) creates photographic images that stretch boundaries and redefine standards, juxtaposing light and darkness. For the... See less

BERKELEY, Calif. SOMETIMES a book, or an idea, can be obscure and widely influential at the same time. That’s the case with “Ecotopia,” a 1970s cult novel, originally self-published by its author, Ernest Callenbach, that has seeped into the American groundwater without becoming well known. The novel, now being rediscovered, speaks to our ecological present: in the flush of a financial crisis, the Pacific Northwest secedes from the United States, and its citizens establish a sustainable economy, a cross between Scandinavian socialism and Northern California back-to-the-landism, with the custom — years before the environmental writer Michael Pollan began his campaign — to eat local. White bicycles sit in public places, to be borrowed at will. A creek runs down Market Street in San Francisco. Strange receptacles called “recycle bins” sit on trains, along with “hanging ferns and small plants.” A female president, more Hillary Clinton than Sarah Palin, rules this nation, from Northern...
