Universe Flag...

"I read somewhere that if you averaged all the colors of the stars and galaxies everywhere, you'd end up with a sort of beige or warm white color. I coupled that with an infinity symbol (hair scrunchie) to make this flag for everywhere." Sea Moon

Some things I do not understand:
"As you accumulate space, the weight of the space compresses the volume of the same, and that is what time is. More space = less time. m × c² = E"
Mark Cidade Space has mass (via the Higgs field) and when you add space to space, it gets squished. That's why you can't traverse more than 299,792,458 metres in a second. The more distance you cover in less time, the more weight is added to space (via inertial compression) and so it takes more time to do anything since there is LESS (temporal dialation). http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/nstv/2012/03/one-minute-physics-why-einstein-rotated-time.html

  Mark Cidade If you have 5 acres of land in one field and 5 in another lot, that makes 10 acres total. Now if you smush them together into the same land, you will have less than 10.
  
  Dark matter and energy is a joke. I know why the galaxies stay together and the universe is flying apart. It's the SPACE that makes the stars so heavy and it's the TIME that flies away from us at faster than the speed of light so that we can't ever make up for it!
  
  It IS due for a paradigm shift. It's called common sense sciense!

  Take your time. I'll give you some space : D

  Spirals within spirals at a certain distance from the cores.
  From a cross section they are like E8s?

  Everything pendles between too much and too little.
  Try to keep the extremes as close to the core to keep the best track.

  In a binary way.

Scatting may be desirable because it does not "taint the music with the impurity of denotation". Instead of conveying linguistic content and pointing to something outside itself, scat music—like instrumental music—is self-referential and "d[oes] what it mean[s]". Through this wordlessness, commentators have written, scat singing can describe matters beyond words... releasing emotions "so deep, so real" that they are unspeakable; his words "bypass our ears and our brains and go directly for our hearts and souls".

The cauldron is the largest known example of European Iron Age silver work.
The diameter of 69 centimeters. The height of 42 centimeters.
Nielsen believes that the question of origin is the wrong one to ask and can produce misleading results. Because of the widespread migration of numerous ethnic groups like the Celts and Teutonic peoples and events like Roman expansion and subsequent Romanization, it is highly unlikely that only one ethnic group was responsible for the development of the Gundestrup cauldron. Instead, the make and art of the cauldron can be thought of as the product of a fusion of cultures, each inspiring and expanding upon one another.

Over time, the mere sight of an upraised thumb came to symbolize harmony and kind feelings.
The appreciative Chinese would say ”挺好的“ ("ting hao de"), meaning "very good," and gesture with a thumbs up, which in Chinese means "you're number one."

This is a very fine and heavily patinated antique miniature Chinese bronze vase.
He would date it to at least the 18th Century but it could well be earlier.
He would imagine that it would be classed as a scholar's desk object.
It has fine silver wire inlay in the form of mountains and clouds and a wonderful shape with twin handles to each side.
It does have damage, particularly to one of the very small feet, which is missing, and so it does not stand straight.
There is a small dent in one side.
It stands about 8 centimeters tall.

Mother's Day History

The majority of countries that celebrate Mother's Day do so on the second Sunday of May.
The highly traditional practice of honoring of Motherhood is rooted in antiquity, and past rites typically had strong symbolic and spiritual overtones; societies tended to celebrate Goddesses and symbols rather than actual Mothers. The maternal objects of adoration ranged from mythological female deities to the Christian Church itself. Only in the past few centuries did celebrations of Motherhood develop a decidedly human focus.
One of the earliest historical records of a society celebrating a Mother deity can be found among the ancient Egyptians, who held an annual festival to honor the goddess Isis, who was commonly regarded as the Mother of the pharaohs.
Yet the Roman root of Mother’s Day is perhaps more precisely found in the celebration of the Phrygian goddess Cybele, or Magna Mater (Great Mother).
Cybele stems from the Greek Goddess Rhea, who was the Mother of most of the major deities including Zeus. Rhea was therefore celebrated as a mother goddess, and the festival took place around the time of the Vernal Equinox.
Other societies worshipped similar deities including Gaia the Earth Goddess and Meter oreie the Mountain Mother. In many aspects, this Mother goddess was represented and celebrated similarly across cultures.
In the Roman celebration of Magna Mater games were held in honor of the Mother of the gods. Also customary was a procession through the streets with a statue of the goddess carried at the head, followed by a display of elaborate arts and crafts.
Early Christians initially used a day to honor the church in which they were baptized, which they knew as their “Mother Church.” This place of worship would be decorated with jewels, flowers and other offerings.
In the 1600's a clerical decree in England broadened the celebration to include real Mothers, referring to the day as Mothering Day.

From the list of candle scents available I deducted that I would prefer that of Clove.
Though I did not really know what clove was. I thought of clover.

 Several years ago I made this Christmas pomander that still hangs in the open doorway between our kitchen and our library.

Now I was inspired to unhook it and clean it from dust with a brush and cold water.

I started to smell strongly of Christmas (that is to say cloves)

http://www.schooloftheseasons.com/goldenapples.html 

By the 17th and 18th century
the decorated orange stuck with cloves
was often mentioned as a Christmas or New Year’s custom.
In his Christmas masque, Ben Jonson wrote,
“He has an Orange and rosemary,
but not a clove to stick in it.”

(One Yule, the Saint Nicholas 
who appeared at the Santa Lucia party 
presented by Helen Farias and James Carrell 
handed out gilded walnuts 
which could be hung from the tree 
to make wishes come true. 
 Diana Carey and Judy Large suggest placing small items 
(a charm, a shell or a few little sweets) 
inside walnut shells, then gluing them back together 
and gilding them. 
They can be presented in a bowl of moss 
on the Christmas table, 
hung from the tree or put on a ring of greenery 
 so each child can open one 
during each of the Twelve Days of Christmas.)

And then I remembered my recent remembrance of this Crimson and Clover.

Here I attempted to follow and secure evidence of the trail of my zigzagging focus this morning. It is one of countless clues that I am convinced will lead to vital insights into our case.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_pencil_doctrine

In most jurisdictions, courts routinely "blue pencil" or reform covenants that are not reasonable.
The blue pencil doctrine gives courts the authority to either strike unreasonable clauses from a noncompete agreement,
leaving the rest to be enforced,
or actually modify the agreement to reflect the terms that the parties

could have — and probably should have — agreed to.

The term stems from the act of editing written copy with a blue pencil.

Hospitals are a good example. Most of the paperwork that nurses are required to fill out results from the fact that management doesn’t trust them to do what it wants them to do without some independent means of verification. But the paperwork is worthless, unless management operates on the assumption that those same nurses can be trusted to fill out the paperwork honestly. It all boils down to the fact that management knows their interests are diametrically opposed to those of the nurses, but there’s no way to actually get inside the nurses’ heads and look out through their eyes and thereby overcome this fundamental agency problem. So bosses constantly look for new, ineffectual gimmicks to get around the problem, resulting in endless layers of new paperwork that are as useless as the old paperwork.
