<p>Some of you reading this may have had the blessing of having known Chris, especially if you have spent a lot of time in the fields visiting crop circles in Wiltshire. The crop circles were Chris&#8217;s playground in which he would create experiences of love and joy and share them with all he encountered along the way.</p>
<p>I want to share a gift with you here. It is not my gift, but a gift from Chris himself. (Amazing &#8211; I had a moment there virtually feeling his presence on my shoulder and he was saying to me &#8220;Cut to the chase me ol&#8217; marrow and just give &#8216;em the bloody affirmations!&#8221;) <a href="http://andypotter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/smile1.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-161" title="smile1" src="http://andypotter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/smile1.gif" alt="" width="16" height="16" /></a></p>
<p>Well here they are, included in a pdf I have put together for you to download. These affirmations which Chris used to recite every day with his partner Tani, were his tools for staying aligned with, and empowered by Spirit to accomplish all he did.</p>
<p>Without further ado, <a title="Chris Alden Affirmations" href="http://andypotter.com/Chris-Alden-Affirmations.pdf">RIGHT CLICK HERE AND SAVE FILE.<br />
</a></p>
<p>As Chris would say &#8211; Love, Light and Laughter, and Bless you all!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://andypotter.com/change-your-mind/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-211" title="stress5" src="http://andypotter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/stress5.jpg" alt="Stress" width="554" height="92" /></a></p>
<p>Most of us at some point in our lives have experienced worry, frustration, confusion, sleeplessness, and fear, which stifle decision making and make even simple goals hard to achieve. These are the components of the chaotic mind. In today’s world this state of mind is becoming all too common, almost being regarded as the norm.</p>
<p>The chaotic mind can never produce true happiness and success in what we try to achieve. In this state, the mind can be compared to a balloon, taken by the wind in just about any direction apart from the one we would prefer it to take us, i.e., towards our goals!</p>
<p>We are faced with an enormous number of distractions throughout the day, and our dependence upon good outcomes leads to more turmoil in the mind should things not go right for us. This can develop into a downward spiral if we are not careful. <a href="../../../../../change-your-mind/" target="_blank">The mind and emotions</a> are closely interconnected, and any disturbance of either will cause balance, harmony, and effectiveness to be lost. A major key here is attachment to outcomes.</p>
<p>For example, when one attains a desired situation, such as a new partner, a job promotion, or a new car, one can bond to it very tightly, and slowly that old enemy fear of loss can creep in. So often, possessions and relationships are uncontrollable, and the moment that one is separated from them, pain is the result, and this in turn upsets the mind further. This kind of scenario, based around attachment to outcomes, leads to mood fluctuations and in worse cases, depression.</p>
<p>The main reason such mood fluctuations arise is that one is closely attached with the outside situation.</p>
<p>However, in exercising detachment, the <a href="../../../../../change-your-mind/" target="_blank">mind can be maintained in a relaxed state</a>, leading to powerful responses in any given external situation, with calm emotion.</p>
<p>Over time, mental balance is cultivated, in which happiness and positivity dominate daily life, as opposed to the up and down mood swings of a chaotic mind. This is the powerful gift derived from effective meditation &#8211; Powerful states of mind, hitherto unknown, can be attained and experienced, and life can be free from worry and anxiety.</p>
<p>A chaotic and particularly a fearful mind only attracts negative feelings and behavior, and consequently negative situations; therefore one can see how it becomes a barrier to setting and achieving goals.</p>
<p>Consistent meditation is a <a href="../../../../../change-your-mind/" target="_blank">powerful tool</a> to train the mind in gradually becoming more and more cheerful and peaceful, no matter what external circumstances are, eventually giving rise to balance and happiness. One is able to stay positive even in the most complicated or difficult situations. This state of mind is crucial to achieving happiness and success.</p>
<p>For a limited time only, this excellent tool will be available at its current price, together with bonuses.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The headline of this post may sound like a joke but it&#8217;s far from being one. Gumblar is the latest in serious threats to hit the internet, beginning in March 2009, originating from a chinese domain gumblar.cn. Attackers then changed the domain to martuz.cn. <a href="http://andypotter.com/gumblar"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-152" title="gumblar-vid-large" src="http://andypotter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/gumblar-vid-large.jpg" alt="gumblar-vid-large" width="266" height="173" /></a>Both have apparently been shut down but the malicious script is out there being virally replicated on the web and on a network of host PCs. Apparently 37% of malware detected by <a href="http://www.scansafe.com/" target="_blank">Scansafe</a> in the first two weeks of may was resulting from Gumblar. The basic risk with this infection is that it will intercept your web traffic and snatch your personal details to upload to an unknown server. Now I don&#8217;t beleive in getting into the fear based stuff surrounding things like this but I think a little precaution is appropriate.</p>
<p>I asked myself &#8220;how would I know if my PC was infected with Gumblar?&#8221;. I did a little research on the web and found a little procedure you can implement to give you peace of mind. <a href="http://andypotter.com/gumblar" target="_blank">Click here or on the image on the left to watch a video outlining what to do to make sure your PC isn&#8217;t infected by Gumblar.</a></p>
<p>It involves downloading a simple piece of free software and using this to check a file in the Windows system which is affected by Gumblar. If this particular file passes the test you are ok.</p>
<p>The best way of course to have real peace of mind is to make sure you have a top notch firewall and antivirus. As most of my readers know already I swear by <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/6688/CD116072/" target="_blank">Kaspersky</a> Internet Security as do many of my friends who are advanced computer geeks! The brilliant thing about Kaspersky is that it won&#8217;t let any suspicious communication through from your PC to the internet without telling you of the attempt.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Andy Potter</p>
<p>People who can remote view can psychically see places or events at a distance without the need to actually be there. Many people are skeptical but remote viewing has been proven as a science, with governments and law agencies often employing the services of remote viewers. Governments have secretly been experimenting with remote viewing for many years. They have used those who can remote view for various secret projects including trying to find out what potential enemies around the world are up to.</p>
<p>Nobody really knows how remote viewing works, only that it does. Some say that the remote viewer is able to tap into frequencies of the universal mind which connects us all. <a href="http://andypotter.com/recommends/unexplainable_store"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-136" title="astral_withname" src="http://andypotter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/astral_withname.jpg" alt="astral_withname" width="314" height="322" /></a>Quantum physics is at a really exciting stage now, demonstrating how we are all connected energetically via a non physical energy grid or matrix. Through <a href="http://andypotter.com/recommends/unexplainable_store" target="_blank">personal training and disciplining the mind</a>, an individual may access this energy grid and receive information about circumstances and events at a distance. On a simple level many of us experience this in ordinary life. How many times have you thought of someone and the phone or doorbell rings, only to be the person you were just thinking about?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s my belief that certain things such as a trauma in life can trigger the ability to remote view.</p>
<p>A number of years ago, at age 27, I went through a period of loss in my life. I arrived at a state akin to complete surrender and began to experience some profound things over a period of a couple of months. It is said that 27 is a powerful time in one&#8217;s life as it is approaching one&#8217;s Saturn return. My dreams became very lucid and vivid and I was &#8216;meeting&#8217; people I knew and on one occasion who I had not yet met. On another occasion I entered a very lucid dream state and found myself in Madrid. I had a friend called Viki who I hadn&#8217;t seen for six months as she was spending a year living and working in Madrid. In my dream I found bakers shop and instinctively knew that this was where Viki lived. The man at the counter was called Juan and gestured me to a strange spiral staircase leading to the next floor. I found myself in Viki&#8217;s apartment and I was looking out from her balcony at a violent thunderstorm. Viki told me that she had bought a return ticket to the UK but knew she would not return to Madrid again. She also told me how much the ticket cost.</p>
<p>The following day I phoned Viki and told her what had happened. There was a moment&#8217;s silence on the phone followed by Viki&#8217;s shocked sounding voice telling me that I had got everything right. I had described her home perfectly and Juan the baker did in fact exist. Madrid had its most violent thunderstorm on that night and the information I had about Viki&#8217;s plane ticket was correct.</p>
<p>To understand how this remote viewing actually works we&#8217;ll need to get an understanding of our science knowledge.  The whole world revolves around the concept of frequencies and their forces.  So, the human brain is also tuned in such a way that it is able to read or perceive these frequencies and act accordingly.  Every frequency that it detects it learns or tunes the human body to carry out a particular activity.  For example if it detects the beta frequency it realizes that it has to carry out the normal functions.  Similarly on detecting the alpha frequency it goes into meditation.</p>
<p>The frequency level for remote viewing is at a mid delta level.  Though the human is quite capable of going into the delta level &#8211; most of the time that the brain is in the delta level &#8211; the body is in deep sleep &#8211; so where then will the remote viewing happen?  That is why we specifically say that the optimum frequency level for remote viewing is mid delta level where the mind has not gone into slumber but can be activated for the remote viewing.</p>
<p>The ability to get into these different frequencies could be quite easy for trained experts &#8211; but how will the normal human brain get so skilful to read all these frequencies and respond to each of these differently?  You don&#8217;t have to bother about this &#8211; simply because we are here to help with our <a href="../../../../../recommends/unexplainable_store" target="_blank">remote viewing binaural recording</a> that will help you tune to these different frequencies and then you can view remotely what you want to view &#8211; even if it is something that is happening miles and miles away from your current location.</p>
<p>This recording will start off by getting you into the mid delta range whereby you will be blessed with the opportunity of remote viewing, and will continue to get you into delta followed by low theta &#8211; this is a very smooth and tranquil cycle that you will feel no hassles when you are into it.  The other must know advantage of this recording is that at the end of this whole session it will end with the alpha frequency &#8211; that will promote you to go into a state of complete relaxation.  And the best gift that you can give yourself &#8211; thanks to our recording is a completely refreshed and relaxed you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><strong>Let&#8217;s look at  reasons why your computer </strong><br />
</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong>may be running<br />
slow&#8230;</strong><br />
Computers are an essential aspect of our lives. We use them for work, school, business, recreation and more. Our lives have been made exceedingly more interesting because of them and opportunities for creativity and enjoyment with a PC are endless, that is, until the machine starts grinding to a halt!</span></span></p>
<p>There are many reasons why a computer begins to slow down with use; we will look at three of these now.</p>
<div id="attachment_65" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 101px"><a href="http://andypotter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/slow-pc2.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-65" title="slow-pc2" src="http://andypotter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/slow-pc2.jpg" alt="Ahhgh!! Faster!!!!!" width="91" height="80" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ahhgh!! Faster!!!!!</p></div>
<p>The first reason for a slow PC is the registry. This is basically responsible for holding the entire computer system, hardware and the software preferences. With lots of use the registry becomes cluttered with redundant data. Registry cleaning will not only free up the space but would also solve some of your computer system&#8217;s errors that can give you computer problems in the near future. To clean the registry, you can find several different brands of cleaners on the market today. You just have to guarantee that what you choose is updated and reliable. Care must be taken with some of them too; check online reviews if you are going to buy one of these. Cleaning your computer&#8217;s registry will do miracles on your computer&#8217;s performance and speed. For cleaning my PC and keeping the registry in order, I use <a href="http://www.ccleaner.com/" target="_blank">ccleaner</a></p>
<p>Spyware and viruses can be another reason for a slow XP PC. In surfing the web, you inevitably pick up these little nasties. Most spyware is there to run programs to upload details of your surfing preferences to marketing companies. Unlike viruses, they are relatively harmless; the pain is that they take up your processor power and memory capacity in doing their nasty little deeds. For antivirus I run Kaspersky internet security. Through talking to many computer geeks I have learned that this is one of the best available.<br />
For spyware, as aresult of my geek friends advice, I use both <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/23800/CD116072/" target="_blank">Adaware</a> and <a href="http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html" target="_blank">Spybot Search and Destroy</a>. <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/23800/CD116072/" target="_blank">Lavasoft Adaware</a> does a paid version and a free version. Spybot is free.</p>
<p>Thirdly, slow performance can be due to a lack of memory or RAM. The ram is where data is temporarily stored by programs at work on your computer. If these programs can&#8217;t find enough space in the RAM, the data then gets written to the hard drive which takes more time, in turn slowing down your PC.<br />
Adequate RAM is also important especially if you are running multiple programs at a time. A computer with a Windows XP operating system can usually run with a 512 MB of memory, but if your computer is equipped with many programs and applications, it needs twice as much as RAM in order to perform faster.</p>
<p>There are still many other factors that could slow PC XP however the above mentioned factors are the most common. These three, corrupt registry, viruses and inadequate memory are the factors that you should be careful about in order not lose your computer&#8217;s speed.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I was with my old mainstream broadband provider I always suffered with low download speeds which <a href="http://andypotter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/youtube.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-47" title="youtube" src="http://andypotter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/youtube.jpg" alt="youtube" width="118" height="85" /></a> meant that watching videos online was a pain. The movies would stick midway while the file was buffering on my computer. Have you had that problem and wondered how you can download youtube movies and watch them on your PC? Another good reason to do this is that youtube videos often get removed and your favorite video may not always be there.</p>
<p>There are various bits of software which promise to enable you to download youtube videos but I didn&#8217;t have a great deal of success with these. I discovered a very simple way to do it:</p>
<p>I thought to myself that the youtube file has buffered onto my PC somewhere. I found that it goes here:    C:\Documents and Settings\&#8217;User&#8217;\Local Settings\Temp   In this temporary folder you will find a file that looks a bit like this:  <span style="color: #008000;">fla1E.tmp</span> You need to copy this file to another location, but the problem is the system won&#8217;t let you do it &#8211; the file is locked. Never fear, Potter&#8217;s &#8216;ere with the solution. Go here and download this amazing free software which will &#8216;unlock&#8217; the desired file.<a href="http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/" target="_blank"> http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/</a></p>
<p>Once you have the .tmp file saved, rename it to<span style="color: #008000;"> &#8216;my video name&#8217;.flv</span></p>
<p>The final thing you need is software to play flv files. You can get that here and it&#8217;s free:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.download.com/FLV-Player/3000-13632_4-10467081.html" target="_blank">http://www.download.com/FLV-Player/3000-13632_4-10467081.html</a></p>
<p>There are ways to convert flv files to other formats to play in your standard media player. More anon on that.         Enjoy building your video library!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new computer worm named Conficker, Kido or Downadup is spreading around the world. Once in the computer, it worms it&#8217;s way through the operating system and tricks the machine into running the infected program.</p>
<p><a href="http://andypotter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/pc_worm-320x200.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-34" title="pc_worm-320x200" src="http://andypotter.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/pc_worm-320x200.jpg" alt="pc_worm-320x200" width="196" height="200" /></a> Once established, it starts to download further malware. This threat is causing concern as antivirus companies race to get on top of it. In the meantime, the advice is to make sure antivirus and firewall measures are fully up to date.</p>
