![]() Trying to shift to a positive attitude of appreciation, compassion or love will increase your coherence. It requires you to plan ahead by choosing a positive emotion to focus on, like appreciation, love, or compassion. Attitude Breathing can lessen the intensity of negative thoughts and emotions so they have less power. It is suggested to practice this tool whenever you feel frustrated, angry, or agitated. HeartMath has developed a tool called Attitude Breathing. As a result, you learn to access your higher brain functions and think more coherently. In other words, you change the information going from the heart to the brain. By practicing shifting heart rhythms right when you feel anger or frustration, you can harness the physiological power of anger. When you shift your heart rhythms into more coherence, you also shift your emotions into more coherence which then brings the autonomic nervous system into balance. The heart provides an access point from which these system-wide dynamics can be profoundly impacted. It influences brain processes that control cognitive functions, the nervous system, and emotions. The heart is a primary generator of rhythm in the body. ![]() Thus, HeartMath provides you tools to slow down your emotional reactions. In addition, HeartMath has proven that people who learn to generate balanced coherent heart rhythms will experience more balanced emotions. Below are six steps that can help you build a habit through frequent practice that can help you listen to your intuition and share your appreciation.HeartMath has demonstrated that negative emotions create disordered heart rhythms which then trigger increased levels of emotional distress. Practice Makes Perfect Like a gratitude journal, yoga, or learning to run a marathon, the saying “practice makes perfect” applies. Taking a short amount of time each day to remember all we have in our lives and our experiences. This is a lot like creating the habit of a gratitude journal. The more we can do this for ourselves and towards others, the more we can recognize gratitude and share our appreciation. By quieting the mind and maintaining a caring connection with our hearts we can help share appreciation and caring thoughts to ourselves and others around the world. These techniques can help you discover that you have your own internal resources of regeneration and appreciation. This can be like a big mental hug, thank you note, or bouquet of emotional flowers. As you hold onto that appreciation and gratitude, gently think about sending those feelings to yourself and others. Lastly, focus on a feeling of appreciation for someone or something positive for 5-15 minutes. This helps us to focus and as a reminder of the feelings of appreciation, love, and care for all that we have. We can do this by placing a hand on our temple or forehead, then moving it to our heart. Try shifting your attention from your mind to focusing on your heart. Rather than trying to fix something or set emotions off to the side, we suggest recognizing and appreciating the experiences at a deeper level. Heart-Lock In The next tool is the heart-lock in technique. If your feel stress, if your are doing yoga, or even before bed to release and appreciate the day and all it has brought forward. It can be done in just a few minutes at any point of the day. Heart-focused breathing should not take a chunk of your day. ![]() Even if your start with 3-4 seconds long, with practice your will get better and be able to establish a rhythm that is extended and smooth. Each breath stage should be a smooth and comfortable 5-6 seconds in length. If it helps to place your hand over your heart, then we encourage your to do so in an effort to promote and develop your self-care experience. Almost like in meditation, there is a rhythm of breathing in and releasing the breathe while imagining that breath going through the heart area of the chest. ![]() “You still breathe with your lungs … but HeartMath places great emphasis on the heart.” ( HeartMath) Heart-focused breathing is when we direct our attention to our heart area and breathe more deeply than normal. Each expansion gently stretches the muscles to give more space for gratitude for yourself, others, and the world around us. Heart-Focused Breathing With heart-focused breathing we are not just expanding and filing our emotional hearts with breaths of appreciation, but our lungs as well. With a little time each day spent on these we can fill our world with gratitude and appreciation. One of these ways is through two techniques developed by our caring friends at HeartMath: Heart-Focused BreathingTM and Heart-Lock InTM. There are many ways to source those feelings and a few that are sure to work. The season can be filled with feelings of joy, friendship, family, and gratitude. ![]()

![]() ![]() Players can plug into the “Mix/Piezo” jack and use the individual volume controls to blend the 58/15 “S” pickups with the piezo’s acoustic tones. Alternatively, players can plug into the jacks separately, so the guitar can run magnetic pickups into an amp and run the piezo through an acoustic amp or DI into the soundboard. The instrument is designed with two discrete volume controls (magnetics and piezo) and output jacks (mix/piezo and magnetics). Now boasting a newly-designed LR Baggs/PRS Piezo system, the SE Hollowbody II Piezo provides musicians with the versatility of wielding both acoustic and electric tones in one instrument. The 58/15 “S” pickups deliver clarity and balance that sound big and musical in a hollowbody platform. Constructed with a maple back and top with mahogany sides, the SE Hollowbody II Piezo offers a light shimmer and snap in an attractive package. The SE Hollowbody II Piezo combines the balanced, clear, resonant tone of a hollowbody instrument with the power and stability of a solid-body electric guitar.

What I've come to decide is I will take this really cool instrument platform PRS has provided, make some modifications that I have in mind that will make this particular HB II SE different than any other ones out there. Will own more "Core" guitars before I'm done? ABSOLUTELY! I don't know how the laminate process will effect the overall consistency of the guitar over time but hey, the 335's have held up pretty darn well.Īll of that said, are the "Core" guitars worth the $$'s? ABSOLUTELY, no question in my mind. a.) No electronics switch for Magnetics vs Piezo vs blend, b.) no locking tuners, c.) solid carved top vs laminate, d.) different pickups. They are, in my mind somewhat nuanced but different never the less. There are definitely differences between the Core HB II and SE. I am very impressed at what PRS has accomplished at this price point. The guitar as delivered is, to use the original term, stellar. I found that person and he got an amazing deal.ģ.) I am learning the HB II SE Piezo and after my first full day of playing, there are a couple of thoughts for mods swimming through my brain. I sold my original HB II because I was in a chapter in my life that I was not playing and I really wanted the instrument in the hands of someone who would use it. My thought on that is that these are amazing, beautifully crafted, instruments and instruments are meant to make music. ![]() Both were players with the HB II being my number 1. My 2nd PRS was an original core Hollowbody II in Tri-Color burst and a 10-Top. The factory 2 years later made the same wiring mod to the production SAS'. My first PRS was an original Swamp Ash Special that I had modified. Thought I might jump in with a few thoughts on this thread.ġ.)

The Cincinnati Old Time Radio Convention is a short convention dedicated to old time radio. They also have a celebrity panel where one or a few stars get up onstage and field questions from an interviewer and the audience. This year's lineup includes Dean Stockwell and Terry Moore. They try to get a variety of guests, usually older stars from early television or films. It features a screening room which is surprisingly empty for the most part and a large dealer space, but the real attractions of this show are the celebrity guests. The Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention in Maryland was a lot of fun the year I went (2013 to meet Margaret O'Brien). Hearing the whirr of the projector really cements the experience, and the silent films (they show about 2 each day) are all accompanied live on a piano. Plus, the movies they show are often pretty rare and they're all on film. It is one thing to see a few things here and there in an antique store, or to browse and browse on ebay, but it is a whole different, orgasmic experience to see it on every wall, on every table, in boxes underneath, and on the lips of every dealer in sight. It is a great place to meet fans of pre-60s movies, and a great place to look at massive amounts of memorabilia.

When my family all received digital picture frames as another way to stay connected while we were in quarantine there was a problem: the process for sharing photos wasn’t intuitive, as it required you to draft an email with all the addresses assigned to the digital frames owned by the family, and attach your photos to it.

Sometimes they had declined his sexual advances and the killings seemed to be acts of retribution. The I-5 Killer’s victims were mostly from the same subset: petite, Caucasian women in their teens or 20s. And that doesn’t include a string of more than 100 other crimes, mostly robberies and rapes, that bear his hallmarks.

His orgy of violence started in the mid-1970s by the time he’d gotten to Hull and Garcia, he’d already amassed a sizable necrology. Nicknamed the I-5 Killer, he had threaded a trail of almost unspeakable brutality up and down the upper left corner of America, killing in California, Oregon and possibly Washington.

As soon as her attacker left, she called the police. But while Hull died of her gunshot wounds, Garcia survived by feigning her death, lying motionless on the floor with slugs lodged in the back of her skull. This, it would later be revealed, was generally in keeping with his M.O.: some sexual act followed by a.

Soon he saw another cleaner, 20-year-old Lisa Garcia. Corralling Hull with one hand and holding a gun in the other, he walked her down a hall. He was wearing jeans and a leather jacket. He was strikingly handsome, maybe six feet tall, blessed with a torrent of thick, curly brown hair and eyes to match. She was preparing to leave when she was grabbed by a man who’d somehow managed to enter the building. 18, 1981, Hull had been nearing the end of her Sunday-night shift, cleaning the TransAmerica office building in the central Oregon town of Keizer.

Most people will remember seeing Madonna, who hand picked the thick dicked Dafoe to play her costar, flashing all three B's in the movie's body of very sensual sex scenes. Why? Exhibit A: the absurd amount of exhibitionism. While this flick was assaulted by critics like Roger Ebert, who put it in his list of "Most Hated" films back in 2005, it has plenty of fans. Madge is pretty fearless in her kinky scenes withDafoe, which they reportedly rehearsed for a full two weeks before filming. But, despite being married to Julianne Moore, Frank decides to take a walk on the wild side, and risks his life seeing just how killer a few rounds of killer sex with Madonna are. ![]() She gets charged with murder, and it's up to Frank Dulaney ( Willem Dafoe) to defend her. After he changes his will to give her a ton of money if he dies, this trophy wife films herself having some insane, cocaine infused sex with him, until his heart gives out from all the excitement. Madonna is Rebecca Carlson, a young temptress married to a rich old geezer. ![]() And who better to play the murder weapon than Madonna? The result is Body of Evidence (1993), a box-office bomb that was panned by the critics but has since been hailed as a skinema classic. With erotic thrillers all the rage thanks to the success of Basic Instinct (1992), in 1993 it seemed perfectly logical to make a courtroom thriller about a woman who’s accused of fucking her lover to death. ![]() ![]() There is actually one class where the LoD "set" is the dominant choice for high-tier players, rather than any of the traditional class sets. Without this gem equipped and pushed to the highest levels, this build does not work at all - and it goes without saying that equipping any set pieces that give even 2-piece bonuses will render the LoD gem useless. These are generally legendary gear collections that use the Legacy of Dreams gem, which gives damage increases/reductions based on having no set items equipped. In addition to sets, there are also leaderboards for "No Six Piece Set Bonus". We will look at the most popular sets in high-tier play within these classes, in order by class popularity. The most popular classes in Diablo 3 based on high-tier play are as follows. The Most Popular Diablo 3 Classes and Sets in Season 28 Week 1 What sets will continue to rise? Which will fall in favor of other builds? ![]() It will be interesting to see how these change over the course of the season. But for those who do wish to see the highest levels of the game, these can help provide some insight into what other players are doing. ![]() Not all players choose to push high-tier content and that's fine. With aggressive gearing and deep class knowledge, you can probably make nearly anything "work". These are not meant to say that you cannot make any class or build viable or fun. These are meant to examine overall trends we're seeing on the top-tier Normal Seasonal leaderboards. The numbers presented are a snapshot taken on Friday, March 3rd, and will go out of date quickly. In all cases but one, the Haedrig's Gift set is falling to second place, and in one case (Necromancer), it's already fallen to third place. Although you can get the full Haedrig's Gift set within several hours of play, not one of these sets is leading their class in overall Leaderboards. Looking at the first week of Diablo III Season 28's leaderboards has been interesting, particularly watching how players are beginning to migrate away from the free Haedrig's Gift sets to those gearing strategies to ensure high-tier success. ![]() |
