2009 June Photos

James — Mon, 10 May 2010 05:09:25 +0000

A busy month was June 2009. I was busy doing an Intention Rice experiment, baking foods from whole food ingredients, and making Raw Foods for super yummy pot lucks.

Whole Foods Cookies

Intention Rice is a fun experiment that I learnt from watching a video about Dr. Emoto on water. It works on the the theory that we project our energy, and that we project different kinds of energy that have different effects. For example, I cooked up 1 pot of rice and split it into 3 jars.

I then placed those 3 jars on a piece of paper each on the same table and each with a label. The paper and labels read, “Love”, blank and “Hate”. Every day when I woke, and went to bed, I did the following with each jar.

The Love jar, I said, “I love you”, and sat and projected loving thoughts on to the jar.

I ignored the jar with the blank label.

And the Hate jar, I said, “I hate you”, and sat and projected hateful thoughts on to the jar.

As time went on the contents of each jar changed. It took about 6 weeks to have a real obvious difference, but it was worth it. The best sign that things were different was the smell. The love jar had a sweet smell, the blank jar that I neglected was not as pleasant, and the hate jar made you kick your head back, it smelt that bad.

This was a great experiment to show that we really do need to be concious about the thoughts we have. I plan on doing it again as it was lots of fun.

2009 May Photos

This time last year we had snow down at sea level in Christchurch, I assure you, as we were in the sea while it was snowing. The winter has been very mild this year so far. You will see my first home made bread fail and succeed too. As winter comes on I think I will have to make a few more of those comfort foods

Snow on the road to surf

In April we returned to New Zealand, home. Happy to be back I made my way out and about, walking new tracks and continuing my Cross Fit exercise as best I could with the days getting shorter and colder. Winter in Southern California is far from winter in New Zealand…

Plugin: IMM-Glossary Glossy 3.1

James — Sat, 01 May 2010 13:10:28 +0000

Ok, thank you for the support, comments and suggestions on new features.

I have been working on updating the plugin and deciding on how best to move forward with it.

I have not implemented any of the features requested yet as they have required a little more time than I have had for them just yet. This release has the following updates:

# Override setting to force all posts to use a global “Apply to” setting
# On the edit posts page, the IMM-Glossary Settings are now in a dragable box
# On the admin pages, I updated and shifted the credit notice.

On my Todo list:

* Plural search
* Look at adding a WYSIWYG editor to term editor
* Term page, add ability to have anchors to each term or links to view terms on individual pages

March was full of amazing people who took us into their lives and made us feel very welcome. We were staying healthy with our eating, exercise and learning lots.

January 2009 was a short summer in NZ but was lots of fun before we went to LA. Lots of time with nature on the beaches, in the rivers and up in the mountains.

Dead good time on the beach

Plugin: IMM-Glossary 3.0

James — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 11:03:04 +0000

An updated, working and new featured IMM-Glossary Plugin for WordPress.

I really like the IMM-Glossary plugin. I found it doing searches on the net. It is not listed on http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ which is a shame. There are a number of forum threads about it and problems had though, and now I hope I have provided an answer to those here.

I have tried to contact the authors using their site but I have received no reply. I respect their work and credit is theirs for building the plugin. All I have done is fix the install bug and add new features.

I hope you enjoy this unofficial release of the plugin.

2008 December Photos

James — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 21:08:45 +0000

This has been a long time coming, and it is nice to be closing the 2008 file… finally… in 2010… [cough] Anyway, this month was amazing, I didn’t realise how many fun things I managed to squeeze into 1 month. I have picked out 90 of my favourite photos, of who knows how many.

December covered road trips, climbing, swimming, surfing, biking, tramping, caving, birthdays and maybe some other stuff. I did this all over the place, Christchurch, Nelson, West Coast, Golden Bay. And I did it with amazing people.

Good Times!

No gang signs please

New photos in the new album system. The photos are a larger size now which I hope will make them much better to view.

November 2008 was full of fun times, I was busy upgrading the BBQ for the summer with new shelves and tool hooks Then a road trip down the East coast to visit friends and surf. Then I ended the month by exploring Christchurch and walking round Godly Head.

A new day, a new album
