http://www.ted.com Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.

Mantra of Arya Avalokiteshvara
namo ratnatryaye namah aryajnana sagar vairocana vyuharajaya tathagatayah arhate samyaksambuddhayah;
namah sarva tathagatebhyah arhatebhyah samyaksambuddhebhyah;
namah arya avaoliketshvaraya bodhisattvayah mahasattvayah mahakarunikakayah;
tadyatha: om dhara dhara dhiri dhiri dhuru dhuru itiye vitiye cale cale pracale pracale kusume kusumvaraye ili mili cetam jvalam apnaye svaha.
(Mid-length mantra of Arya Avalokitesvara also known as the mantra of 1000 Armed Avalokitesvara [cenrezig] )

namo amitabha!

What would happen to planet earth if the human race were to suddenly disappear forever?
Abandoned skyscrapers would, after hundreds of years, become "vertical ecosystems" complete with birds, rodents and even plant life.Our cars would shrivel to piles of dust, our house pets would be overtaken by flourishing wildlife and most of the records of our human story would fade quickly, leaving little evidence that we ever existed.

Saw this "Absolutely hilarious RIGHT ON spay/neuter video" at http://www.wildrun.blogspot.com/

 

Here in Singapore, the labeling of GMO food/ingredients is not required, so it will be very difficult to trace any allergy or other health problems back to the GMO food consumed.

Don’t we have a right to know what we are eating?  Watch the video! The most frightening scenario is that of the suicide gene spreading…

 

Have you ever bought perfectly fresh looking fruits, like apple and pears that were all rotten inside? That’s because irradiated food starts rotting from the core. Again, no labeling is required for irradiated foods…

 

The only way to avoid genetically modified or irradiated food is to buy organic or look for labels that say non-gmo. I have not seen any labels that say non-irradiated...

 And I will not let what I cannot do interfere
