People watch as one of two loggerhead sea turtles are released back into the wild, March 13, 2012, at Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park after they underwent rehabilitation at Miami Seaquarium. The two loggerhead sea turtles weighing in at 90 lbs and 125 lbs were both found weak in the wild, covered in parasites and struggling with buoyancy issues.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;width: 380px;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;turtles return to sea&quot; height=&quot;265&quot; src=&quot;http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/MSNBC/Components/Photo/_new/pb-120313-loggerheads-02.380;380;7;70.jpg&quot; width=&quot;380&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.caemabon.co.uk/#/about/4560166844&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Cae Mabon Retreat Centre&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in North Wales has been building small, &lt;b&gt;natural&lt;/b&gt; dwellings for their residents and visitors since 1989. This intentional community is located in the best of what nature can offer: in the woods, by a river, near a lake, at the foot of the mountains and within sight of the sea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Cae Mabon’s&lt;/i&gt; principal creator is Eric Maddern, who was inspired to create the community after spending time with the Aboriginal people in Alice Springs, Australia. He wanted to create a place that was not the ostentatious beauty of the wealthy but the humble beauty of the simple and &lt;b&gt;natural&lt;/b&gt;. The buildings he created are mostly made from timber, stone, reed, straw, grass, lime and clay and they blend in with their surroundings.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;© 2010 Rickbischoff, LLC&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://rickbischoff140plus.blogspot.com/2012/02/round-tiny-house-cae-mabon-retreat.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (rbagain)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEYIa4nDIqfli4hqPsoxLXKoUJNBzwo6eNyeN6Eeu-6c0oQzhq3ePEXbOhiPOCUyDVXN6IE5dUpvorTXPWE4jw3GLo0fg7KJz_0TF4jaZN-LEHCe3X9n1TBIAteO4yv8hvZSnvCFFtkDCO/s72-c/CaeMabons-Tiny-RoundHouse.png" height="72" width="72"/></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1562780466031133552.post-6163681922742149156</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 Feb 2012 03:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-02-27T12:39:58.916-05:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Ecospirituality</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">John Muir</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Nature</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Quote</category><title>John Muir Inspiring an #EcoSpirit</title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a title=&quot;John Muir Inspiring an EcoSpirit add to circles&quot; href=&quot;https://plus.google.com/u/0/111918325902673991619/posts/Cc4ScwELCim&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;John Muir quote places to play and pray in image by Artist Designer Storyteller&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhojtDz-l3LEnfD_Ppe-PU-62BTpFBGM0-bwWaor7zERtKX4BM1aFxAAVPTGnnslPuzZPz5tV4DNI794JRnVOXDvHO7Z2spySFJpWFsn549c8Du39hZs3O2BC5aAo6eQExG6zKcWnljKaMF/s200/JohnMuir-Places-Play-Prey.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;John Muir quote Inspiring Rustic Contemporary Spirit EcoSpirit&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;John Muir&lt;/b&gt; (21 April 1838 – 24 December 1914[1]) was a Scottish-born American naturalist, author, and early advocate of preservation of wilderness in the United States. His letters, essays, and books telling of his adventures in nature, especially in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, have been read by millions. His activism helped to save the Yosemite Valley, Sequoia National Park and other wilderness areas. The Sierra Club, which he founded, is now one of the most important conservation organizations in the United States.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::: &lt;b&gt;John Muir&lt;/b&gt; lives on ...trekking through natures greatest fields ...thankful for his passion and his vision ...it was his ability to inspire hearts that gave our wilderness protection; our places to connect, preservation :::&lt;br /&gt;

Not having a sewing machine didn&#39;t stop me, it made me think more deeply opon the design. I worked around the need for a sewing machine by designing my pieces with a course hand sewn stiching. The look is rough - the style is all mine. Still wanting to improve the over all quality, I began &quot;wish&#39;n and hope&#39;n&quot; a machine would come along.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Forgetting about the whole idea for like about a year, an artist friend of mine &lt;a href=&quot;http://glennlampstudios.com/&quot; title=&quot;Custom Homes Artisan &quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Glenn Lamp&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, asked if I would like to help him sew cornhole bags. Sew ?? yeah, of course I&#39;ll help you, I said. Free sewing lessons woohoo !! That was back in like late Dec. -ish ...now I was back into &quot;&lt;strong&gt;I NEED A MACHINE&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; mode. I began to visualize myself sewing a clutch bag like every day ...which actually brought me to a NEW and much sexier looking clutch ...more about that later : )&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One day a few weeks ago, needing to take care of an on going mud-whole situation here at the studio I began digging this ditch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&#39;p_embed p_image_embed&#39;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://getfile5.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-02-02/DkgoczbcJBhpbIuhzJqwrlxajvEcJolnpwasjmgtDAmvBxFIAqFztHgrGelj/drvwy-dtch.jpeg.scaled1000.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Drvwy-dtch&quot; height=&quot;406&quot; src=&quot;http://getfile2.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-02-02/DkgoczbcJBhpbIuhzJqwrlxajvEcJolnpwasjmgtDAmvBxFIAqFztHgrGelj/drvwy-dtch.jpeg.scaled500.jpg&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;...so, while in &quot;Deep Thoughts&quot; as usual, connecting with my source, I was in this very light mood, taking my time and enjoying the experience. Took a little brake, enjoyed a nice phone conversation with my sister about my experience connecting, headed back to where I had stopped, grabed the shovel and whent for a deep plung, immediately hitting something solid which I thought was a rock ...&lt;strong&gt;WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE ???&lt;/strong&gt; I questioned ...well maybe I didn&#39;t say &#39;WE&#39; : ) ...what was this I had unearthed ?? Really ?? I said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&#39;p_embed p_image_embed&#39;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://getfile8.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-02-02/hdiftyuAgmDjvxgxuqkzcjwmfqfzxuJiyJCngyeveejaqIwrmwdyCFmDfzqH/UnEarthed-EMDECO-SewingMachine.jpg.scaled1000.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Unearthed-emdeco-sewingmachine&quot; height=&quot;377&quot; src=&quot;http://getfile8.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-02-02/hdiftyuAgmDjvxgxuqkzcjwmfqfzxuJiyJCngyeveejaqIwrmwdyCFmDfzqH/UnEarthed-EMDECO-SewingMachine.jpg.scaled500.jpg&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;OMG!! LMAO!! GZZ!!! ..&lt;em&gt;this is crazy man&lt;/em&gt;. I felt as the equivalent to winning a $10,000 sewing machine sweepstake ...&lt;strong&gt;woohoo !!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, happily blessed and proud I put it on the front porch. Many times a day I would look at it in auh.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&#39;p_embed p_image_embed&#39;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://getfile5.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-02-02/sJootlkpAihzDBpCDrFsJbenebmaukzruBBFtnsufzgyhuzxlymyzCqamFpi/UnEarthed-Emdeco-Sewing-Machine.jpg.scaled1000.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Unearthed-emdeco-sewing-machine&quot; height=&quot;375&quot; src=&quot;http://getfile6.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-02-02/sJootlkpAihzDBpCDrFsJbenebmaukzruBBFtnsufzgyhuzxlymyzCqamFpi/UnEarthed-Emdeco-Sewing-Machine.jpg.scaled500.jpg&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;After about a week I began to contemplate as to why the sewing machine had manifested in this form ...I could clean it up, tho &quot;&lt;strong&gt;how cool IS this machine&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; I thought ...I love it just as it is ...it&#39;s like &#39;&lt;strong&gt;Rat-Rod&lt;/strong&gt;&#39; of sewing machines ...too awesome to change. Still I really want and need a machine for a very practical purpose. I new this wasn&#39;t the machine for the job.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some may say, &lt;em&gt;that which manifests is in equivalent to the value you believe yourself to be worthy&lt;/em&gt; ...pondering on that awhile. ...I gave thanks for this awesome gift that brings me joy everytime I look at it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A few days ago, while enjoying a bon-fire, a new friend of mine said &quot;&lt;strong&gt;Cool sewing machine, I have one like that you could have&lt;/strong&gt;.&quot; ...WHAT ?? I said ..nauh-auh ...Really ?? So now she&#39;s getting some great art work ...&lt;strong&gt;maybe even a sexy clutch bag too&lt;/strong&gt; : )&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&#39;p_embed p_image_embed&#39;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://getfile2.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-02-02/BJblckBpzIJtEkpbHEAqfjownDpurfCFpmuhybCdrbxJeDasFrcljeHDAwtl/Vintage-Revere-Sewing-Mchn.jpg.scaled1000.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Vintage-revere-sewing-mchn&quot; height=&quot;375&quot; src=&quot;http://getfile4.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-02-02/BJblckBpzIJtEkpbHEAqfjownDpurfCFpmuhybCdrbxJeDasFrcljeHDAwtl/Vintage-Revere-Sewing-Mchn.jpg.scaled500.jpg&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;This is it, a &lt;strong&gt;Vintage Revere De Luxe Zig Zag&lt;/strong&gt; sewing machine ..and I love it !!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve been Googling this machine looking for the operator&#39;s manuel ...not sure of its age but the model no. is 666 ...crazy stuff ...if anyone knows anything about this machine ...like how to thread it or whatever PLEASE let me know ...it would be a great help.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;...sew that&#39;s my little sewing machine story.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;...sew, what&#39;cha need sewn ?? harhar : )&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;© 2010 Rickbischoff, LLC&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://rickbischoff140plus.blogspot.com/2012/02/materialization-of-sewing-machines.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (rbagain)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1562780466031133552.post-6741835064303490253</guid><pubDate>Fri, 09 Sep 2011 04:02:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-09-09T00:02:55.178-04:00</atom:updated><title>Freedom Park Short Walk</title><description>&lt;div class=&#39;posterous_autopost&#39;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&#39;p_embed p_image_embed&#39;&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rbgeolocale/jtpwyHkJCpzufzwzsGCaCktnojppHqkcErAgCGqkCJyHxjdlrIbzpmJADEwD/-2035592196.jpg.scaled1000.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;-2035592196&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/rbgeolocale/jtpwyHkJCpzufzwzsGCaCktnojppHqkcErAgCGqkCJyHxjdlrIbzpmJADEwD/-2035592196.jpg.scaled500.jpg&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/p&gt;Charlotte&#39;s newcomers and visitors quickly learn that &lt;b&gt;Freedom Park&lt;/b&gt; is the nicest spot in town to find quiet areas and safe walking.

Merchants and brands leverage the foursquare platform by utilizing a wide set of tools to obtain, engage, and retain customers and audiences.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;foursquare by the numbers (last updated April, 2011)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Users: Over 10 million worldwide&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Check-ins per day: Over 3 million, with over 750 million check-ins total&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Businesses: Over 500,000 using the Merchant Platform (more information at &lt;a href=&quot;https://foursquare.com/about#&quot;&gt;foursquare.com/business&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;Employees: Over 75 between headquarters in New York, NY and an office in San Francisco, CA&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;posterous_quote_citation&quot;&gt;Read More: &lt;a href=&quot;https://foursquare.com/about&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;foursquare.com&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve enjoyed using four since ...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;iframe id=&quot;geo&quot; src=&quot;http://bit.ly/pyjZ52&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://rbgeolocale.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicHTqA8v7mJRW-LKGgxQi3uxR-xA4KWs4d9qJdKxDXvLXid2PRb71pmKIia4sUdjZFPwdpmCfzYys-9Bp4m5Gzlppbje3DteplEKFHJkgIod7LRkumeTw4EIvx_xgvK5msqECICNlWrLxo/s1600/RbGeoLocale-Banner.png&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;© 2010 Rickbischoff, LLC&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://rickbischoff140plus.blogspot.com/2011/09/foursquare.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (rbagain)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicHTqA8v7mJRW-LKGgxQi3uxR-xA4KWs4d9qJdKxDXvLXid2PRb71pmKIia4sUdjZFPwdpmCfzYys-9Bp4m5Gzlppbje3DteplEKFHJkgIod7LRkumeTw4EIvx_xgvK5msqECICNlWrLxo/s72-c/RbGeoLocale-Banner.png" height="72" width="72"/></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1562780466031133552.post-8952240900271583419</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Sep 2011 14:41:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-09-05T22:50:31.323-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Eco</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">eco-spirit</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Hiking</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Parks</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">wilderness</category><title>Wilderness Society Labor Day</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.6em;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/rickbischoffquickcapture/6114535619/&quot; title=&quot;Eco-Spirit Wilderness Labor Day 2011&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6208/6114535619_9882e4e5cb.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Eco-Spirit Wilderness Labor Day 2011 by Rickbischoff☼&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/rickbischoffquickcapture/6114535619/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Eco-Spirit Wilderness Labor Day 2011&lt;/a&gt;, a photo by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/rickbischoffquickcapture/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Rickbischoff☼&lt;/a&gt; on Flickr.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Wilderness Society&#39;s Labor Day Weekend Activities!&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;#7 Send us your Labor Day weekend photos!
&lt;b&gt;Labor Day weekend&lt;/b&gt; is also &lt;b&gt;my wilderness&lt;/b&gt; weekend, part of our national awareness campaign to celebrate &lt;b&gt;wilderness&lt;/b&gt;. Make a handmade sign with six words about why you love wilderness.  Bring the sign with you to any of your favorite wild areas and take a photo of yourself with the sign. Add it to our my wilderness weekend Flickr group, and we’ll use it for a photo slideshow of the my wilderness community.&lt;br /&gt;

Perhaps that someone isn&#39;t necessarily an individual who knew you the way you were before, but who is merely observing you now, and who has decided that they like the way you are, and want to be like that too. And so they change - at least in this regard - thanks to something they &lt;b&gt;observed&lt;/b&gt; about you. - @GabrielaKortsch&lt;br /&gt;

::: Live; inspire by action. ::: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some of the greatest &#39;Teachers&#39; in my life had no intention of fulfilling the role; they would&#39;ve probably turned it down had I verbally offered it to them : ) Their &#39;teaching by example&#39; has inspired the same in me.&lt;br /&gt;

I thank the those &#39;Teachers&#39; in my life for inspiring me to live by their example, &quot;&lt;b&gt;to live by example&quot;&lt;/b&gt;. - @Rickbischoff &lt;br /&gt;

When I begin to feel disconnected &lt;br /&gt;

-Chief Seattle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;b&gt;quoted&lt;/b&gt; on this page,&lt;br /&gt;
that grounds me; returns me to what&#39;s most true, &lt;b&gt;Oneness&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;a onmouseover=&quot;javascript:this.className=&#39;PageTextHover&#39;&quot; onmouseout=&quot;javascript:this.className=&#39;PageText&#39;&quot; class=&quot;PageText&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Chief Seattle&#39;s wisdom&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;All things share the same breath - the beast, the tree, the man, the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports.&lt;br /&gt;
-Chief Seattle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; shared in these words is &lt;b&gt;EcoSpirituality&lt;/b&gt; in pure actuality. The spirit or energy or chi vibrating through these words are unbound by time and space; All - being oneness, does not discriminate, from the physical to the ethereal; is all the whole. The wisdom then is the wisdom now, and the wisdom when will always be. &lt;br /&gt;

Posterous launched the &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.posterous.com/show-off-your-posterous-photos-beautiful-slid&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Slideshows For Sites&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&quot; in January 2011.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote class=&quot;pquote&quot;&gt;	&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&quot;We launched Posterous in July 2008 because we loved sharing thoughts, photos and videos with our friends and family, but we didn&#39;t like how hard it was.&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
via: &lt;b&gt;posterous&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;What seems really cool to me is this tag: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;#!/slideshow&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Add this tag to the end of the image&#39;s anchor link: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;a title=&quot; link title&quot; href=&quot;http://your site.posterous.com/post&lt;b&gt;#!/slideshow&lt;/b&gt;&quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://image-auto-posted.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;all about image&quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m adding this little magic to media that&#39;s been “auto posted” via posterous. When images posted here via posterous are clicked, the viewer is sent to the slideshow on posterous. Makes for a much better experience than just viewing the image source. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This is my &lt;b&gt;posterous&lt;/b&gt; for daily &lt;b&gt;mobile blogging&lt;/b&gt;, which auto-posts to the &lt;b&gt;#Rb140Plus&lt;/b&gt;. If you&#39;re already familiar with posterous then you probably &lt;br /&gt;
already like how the &lt;a href=&quot;http://posterous.com/help/bookmarklet/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;bookmarklet&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; works. Because of my having multiple posterous profiles, I stay logged-in to this account, so clipping pages via the &lt;i&gt;bookmarklet&lt;/i&gt;, posts to the &lt;b&gt;#Rb140Plus&lt;/b&gt; with ease.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;THE GIST&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Animals are fleeing global warming much faster than they were less than a decade ago. &lt;br /&gt;
- A study found about 2,000 species are moving north at a rate of more than 15 feet a day. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.discovery.com/animals/zooms/animals-migrating-north-global-warming-110818.html&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://news.discovery.com/animals/2011/08/18/butterflies-278.jpg&quot; title=&quot;monarch butterfly&quot; alt=&quot;monarch butterfly&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caption&quot;&gt;Monarch butterflies. New research shows that a range of species are migrating north at an alarming rate to flee warming.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.discovery.com/animals/zooms/animals-migrating-north-global-warming-110818.html&quot;&gt; Click to enlarge this image. &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Climate change appears to be forcing many of the world&#39;s  creatures to migrate to more favorable locales up to three times faster  than previously believed, a study said Thursday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Researchers compiled past studies on species migration and combined  them into a meta-analysis that showed a clear trend toward cooler  climates, with the fastest moves in places where heating was most  intense.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;These changes are equivalent to animals and plants shifting away  from the equator at around 20 centimeters per hour, for every hour of  the day, for every day of the year,&quot; said project leader Chris Thomas,  biology professor at the University of York.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
::: Wildlife is much more in tune with our natural world, then we sophisticated humans. Many of us sense when there is need for change, though we don&#39;t understand where it comes from. Let&#39;s say we are experiencing or feeling a need to move to another city. This could be a suggestion picked up from our subconscious, which still knows the language of our earth. Being consciously disconnected from this language, as most are, could bring confusion. We may feel anxious because of this unknown stirring inside us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We live about this earth day to day making decisions influenced by suggestions from our collective consciousness, which in this era has been mostly influence by media. Just as we are tapped into whats happening in popular culture, Like what&#39;s the popular dress, TV shows, social networks, &lt;i&gt;the language of our natural world is still within us&lt;/i&gt;. The first step back to reclaiming our &lt;i&gt;conscious&lt;/i&gt; &quot;&lt;b&gt;Earth Speak&lt;/b&gt;&quot; is being aware that it is available to us. The second step back is actually a tie to the first; that&#39;s Looking to wildlife, as they have never disconnected from the language. They become our teachers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I appreciate the men and women who create and share the studies, mentioned above. Articles like the above inspire us to become more aware. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Watch Wildlife | Become More In Tuned.&lt;/h2&gt;We learn a lot by watching animals. Every Species has it&#39;s particular traits.&lt;br /&gt;
Did you know certain animals will lay down before a rain. This is just one small example of how we could be tutored back to knowing &quot;Earth Speak&quot;. Next time you happen to see a field of cattle laying down, stop and take note, it may rain soon after.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately it&#39;s no mystery why these creatures are migrating early, we&#39;ve all been feeling it heat up lately. Not to just beat the heat, but seriously, start watching the animals more closely and you&#39;ll begin to thank them for all the messages. ::: &lt;br /&gt;

This is a great tool for any blog or website. It really increases engagement. I&#39;ve used the Wibiya bar before - though it&#39;s a bit limiting on what you can customize, I knew there had to be a way. So I began to Google.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best results came from this search term: &lt;b&gt;.wibiya toolbar important!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &lt;b&gt;Wibiya toolbar&lt;/b&gt; you see below has been conceived and contrived from countless hours reading and experimenting ...trial and error.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;20&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyDOwG2WTQlMSoRaHs-LzIhDVyykDAPsxvQHlJP3OHsRPBVbG03MnRtiJJF4ah3R-g8IE-pGhXjDD_nUmzI8Pmsu4xIK31jSbFhUkF16roSYULJbK4sGQvhi8VMa4He-LvpTLLb-nwxyum/s1600/wibiya-css-screenshot.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, here&#39;s the code I&#39;ve worked-out for this toolbar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;script src=&amp;quot;http://cdn.wibiya.com/Toolbars/dir_XXXX/Toolbar_XXXXXX/Loader_XXXXXX.js&amp;quot; type=&amp;quot;text/javascript&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/script&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;style&amp;gt; .wibiya_toolbar_holder &lt;br /&gt;
{ &lt;br /&gt;
margin-left: auto;&lt;br /&gt;
margin-right: auto;&lt;br /&gt;
width: 570px;&lt;br /&gt;
} &lt;br /&gt;
.wibiya_toolbar_BG {&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
background: url(http://YOUR FAVORITE IMAGE.png) !important;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/style&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For those of you who may not understand what this code says...&lt;br /&gt;
I will break it down a little.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But first I must tell you &lt;b&gt;I AM NO EXPERT&lt;/b&gt; ...I&#39;ve just recently began learning css so I know, to a few of us, it does look confusing. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The first part, install&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
via Wibiya: &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wibiya.com/EditFinalize.php&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Choose Your Website / Blog Platform&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I chose: &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wibiya.com/EditFinalize.php&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Install on websites and other blog platforms&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;script src=&amp;quot;http://cdn.wibiya.com/Toolbars/dir_XXXX/Toolbar_XXXXXX/Loader_XXXXXX.js&amp;quot; type=&amp;quot;text/javascript&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/script&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is the bit of code you get from Wibiya when you install.&lt;br /&gt;
Add this to the body of your template. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The Next part, CSS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;style&amp;gt; .wibiya_toolbar_holder &lt;br /&gt;
{ &lt;br /&gt;
margin-left: auto;&lt;br /&gt;
margin-right: auto;&lt;br /&gt;
width: 570px;&lt;br /&gt;
} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This piece of code above controls the width.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lastly, the code below controls the color or background image.&lt;br /&gt;
Mine is set for background image.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
.wibiya_toolbar_BG {&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
background: url(http://YOUR FAVORITE IMAGE.png) !important;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you would rather use a background color...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
REPLACE THIS: url(http://YOUR FAVORITE IMAGE.png)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
WITH THIS: #000000 &lt;br /&gt;
...the zeros indicate black, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For more color codes &lt;div style=&quot;color: #97c7f2;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.computerhope.com/htmcolor.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;CLICK HERE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...and so that&#39;s the basics, hope you find this helpful.&lt;br /&gt;
Like I said &lt;b&gt;I AM NO EXPERT&lt;/b&gt; just paying it forward.&lt;br /&gt;
...peace☼&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
You are choosing the experience. Though it seems at times everything is coming at us and we are merely being subjected to realities resonance. &lt;br /&gt;
Even if you think it&#39;s this way. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...still, you decide how you&#39;re going to experience it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Good or bad, it&#39;s yours&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...only you control your inner dialog, which could be looked at as a filtering system. So even if you believe that reality is happening with out your control...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;&lt;b&gt;whats going on out there...&lt;/b&gt;&quot; flows through the inner dialog into &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;YOUR experience of choice&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am co-creating my reality, are you ??&lt;br /&gt;
