Even people that claim that they really don't care about their dream are intrigued by the idea that there is something going on in their head that they seemingly have no control over – Dreams.

What is really perplexing is that since everyone is and individual, the symbology within your dreams would mean something different to someone else.

Interpretation of a Dream

Your dream and interpretation of your dream can be quite daunting. Most people that chose to research this area also choose to create a dream study for their self. It will take most people that are sincere about pursuing this about 2 years to really have a complete grasp of what their subconscious is saying.

There are some devices that can help you shortcut the effort by waking you each time you go into Random Eye Movement (REM sleep) sleep.  These devices monitor your eyelids for movement. When the device determines your eyes are moving, then the device will sound an alarm so that you can wake yourself long enough to log your results and observations before going back to sleep. Using this type of device may or may not be as effective as doing it yourself unassisted.

Dream Interpretation is the way your subconscious relates an event or circumstance to you through symbolism. Interpretation of dreams can involve certain colors, objects animals, feelings, smells, etc. The list really is endless. If two people dream exactly the same dream, it can mean two completely different things for those two people.

Dream Analysis

What do you do when you have a surreal dream that really sticks out for you? Most people are put into a tail-spin. They have no real way of finding out what that dream means. They have not done a dream study, so they cannot put meaning on the dream… It feels life like. It feels important, but you just were not ready for that level of information. So, if you are ever going to do a dream study, then you better start soon. Or you probably never will.

My Dream

In a real-life example of my dream, it was amazing how it all fit. I had a dream that really had all the bells and whistles when it come to important dreams for me. Luckily for me, I am acquainted with the workings of my mind.   I have decided to share this example of what it looks like when I explain a dream for myself.

For most people having a dream that is so clear as this dream would be a little scary. Especially if you had no idea what your symbology was trying to tell you. It also shows you what part your natural photographic memory plays with regards to your dreams.

If you just want to remember your dreams, then that is a good place to start.

The most common type of bicycle pump is the floor pump. These pumps are designed to be left at home, in the garage or in a bike shop. They are heavy duty and allow for the highest capacity of air-filling. They are designed for the high-pressure jobs that smaller pumps are unable to do.

Another type of bicycle pump is the frame-fit pump. These fit right onto your bike frame with an easy snap and require no extra mounting hardware. Though they are larger than mini pumps, they are able to fill up tires at greater speeds.

Mini pumps are nice because they are small and lightweight. This makes them convenient to carry around. However, unlike frame fit pumps they require mounting hardware to keep on the frame of your bike. All of these options have their benefits and their challenges, but each one is worth looking into depending on the type of riding that you do.

Picking the right pump has a lot to do with the type of riding that you do. If you are road riding, the lightest and smallest pump will be the best for you. If you are mountain biking, you will need a more durable pump that can handle the hazards that you may encounter on your bike ride. You also want to make sure that the pump does not get in your way or add lots of additional weight for times when you need to carry your bike, such as across streams.

If you are racing, be it on a road or mountain bike, you will need something that is lightweight but also can inflate your tires as quickly as possible. On the other hand, if you are simply riding your bike for leisure close to home, you may just want to stick to a simple floor pump. It will get the job done well and will serve your purposes easily.

Keep in mind that not all pumps are created equally. Some pumps are simply better than others and perform better than others. Do your research and read reviews. Make sure you know which pumps are made to last.

You may also need to check compatibility. Not all pumps work for every type of tire. Make sure that if you have any sort of specialty situation that you are aware of the type of pump that will work in your situation. The more you know about your bike, the more easily you will be able to maintain it and the longer it will last. Treat your bike with care and always stay prepared.
 

1. Experience

Incorporated in 1985, the Easton company has been operating since 1985. Arrow companies come and go, but Easton has been producing quality athletic and sporting goods for about a quarter of a century.  In particular, the company has been an pioneer in its use of aluminum in products such as Easton arrows. Easton can trace its origins to the early 1920s, when James Douglas Easton started making arrows as a teenager. The rest, as they say, is history. Today, Easton enjoys outstanding sales revenue, and has become one of the industry's leaders in athletic and sporting equipment. If you choose arrows from Easton then you're choosing a company with nearly nine decades of experience making arrows.

2. Varieties

Easton manufactures several varieties of arrows, including:

    alloy
    carbon
    full metal jacket
    infused carbon

Whether you need them for hunting or target shooting, the wide variety of arrows from Easton will help to ensure that you'll have the right arrows for your particular needs. For instance, full metal jacket arrows are an excellent choice when you need extra knockdown power while hunting. Meanwhile, alloy arrows are perfect when you need a slim arrow that provides pinpoint accuracy. So regardless of whichever type of arrow you need for your hunting or target shooting, you'll likely be able to find the right one from Easton.

3. Design

Another benefit of Easton arrows is that they're available in various styles, ranging from "camouflage"  to "real-tree." Different arrow designs will be especially practical for different hunting and target-shooting functions. Fortunately, each type of arrow from Easton is available in multiple designs. This will help you to select the perfect arrow for your needs.

4. Availability

Easton has distributors not only in the USA, but also throughout the world. So whether you live in North or South America, Europe, Asia, or Africa, you won't have any difficulty finding an Easton distributor in your region. This is key benefit over other companies that only distribute their arrows within one or two countries.

5. Safety

If you choose Easton, then you'll also benefit from its focus on safety. For example, it provides information to its customers about how to maintain safety during the preparation, assembly, and use of its arrows. This will help to ensure that customers of Easton arrows will be as safe as possible when using the products. With Easton, "Safety first" isn't just a catch-phrase, but rather a mantra that summarizes how it operates its business.

6. Warranty

Another benefit of Easton is that it provides a limited warranty with all of its arrows. The warranty covers any defects related to the materials or craftsmanship used to manufacture Easton arrows. This will give you peace of mind knowing that Easton doesn't just claim that it has world class customer service. Instead, it backs it up with a warranty.
 

Serre Che ski Sunday roundup

Under Prorel lift on the way to Briancon

Another lovely day on the slopes of Serre Chevalier. Slightly busier than yesterday and no where near as quiet as it’s going to be tomorrow – judging by the many tour coaches being refilled by many a happy skier in the car-parks of Monetier, going back to wherever they hail from.

The conditions are mostly excellent, there are a few patches of ice in places – the top section of the Luc Alphand in the shade comes to mind and even a few slushy patches – not quite soup, but getting on that way – at the top of the runs leading to Briancon from the top of the Prorel lift.

I did a totally different set of pistes today, the red run down to the very bottom of the Prorel cabin will be one I won’t be repeating, but it can’t all be lovely all the time. There is a boring little walk at the end – oh the horror.

Briancon old town in the background

The best time to ski is 10am-3pm, the Sun drops off pretty quickly as does the mercury. The light is different though to just a few weeks ago. Instead of going dark when the Sun comes off there is about and hour of still strong indirect-light rather than shadow, this has extended the day. I actually finished at about 4.15pm – and I would whinge about it if I could, but I won’t as it was still pretty pleasant.

Not going to labour the point, but these weeks coming up till Feb 10th are the best, get on it – come on the Iran match is going to kick off just as soon as the US can arrange it, you may as well get a taste of heaven before we’re all there in person.

No one on Cucummelle about 10am this morning

It is like Serre Che is the ski station that time forgot. I keep meaning to have a day off to rest my weary legs, but I just can’t at the moment.

It is brilliant and no one is here. Because of this there are no lumps or bumps on any of the pistes. I love this, you can make massive long turns without worrying whether you’re going to come into contact with any doubtful terrain or any other stranger on the mountain.

I hear Austria is too full of snow, Savoir is a bit choker, but here? Honestly it’s a dream. The sun is shining – we’re up to about 8 oC at 2000m. This is lovely to ski in, which is why I’m getting as much in as possible before the school holidays start on Feb 10th.

There is no snow predicted for a while, but there is ample on the pistes. The wind has thinned out some of the more exposed slopes – Col du Vent in Monetier has been scoured at the start and the off-piste side of this face – Neyzet – is very patchy at the entrance.

Other than that pretty perfect conditions – it’s those north-facing slopes maintaining their finish that makes a difference.

   Chinese pottery  usually utilises a combination of raw materials like Kaolin ,Petunse , Feldspar and quartz. The abundant availability of these raw materials in China perhaps contributed to the development of this art . The city of Jingdezhen plays a central role in the history of chinese pottery. During the Ming dynasty ,this art grew to include  innovations in design and techniques as also an openness to foreign themes .The works of the   Xuande and the  Chenghua  era are still considered one of the most valued items .
                     These Chinese collectable pottery can be variously classified.Some of the types are :-
 Sancai
————-
                    These are usually but not always tri-colored.Made during the Tang Dynasty,these were mostly uses
                    as burialware .

Jian teawares :-
——————–
                    These blackwareswere usually made using iron-rich clay  that produces a characteristic 'hare's fur ' pattern
                      on the surface on glazing .
 
Ding ware :-
—————
                    This is considered one of the finest porcelains ever produced . These relied more on their elegant ,
                     understated designs and lack of ostentation . Typically they were made of a white paste with a glaze that
                    collects into 'tears ' which characterizes them .

 Ru ware :-
————-
                     These were finer with a brilliant lustre . They were made in a range of colours with red-brown speckles  
                     which are considered a merit rather than a defect .

 Jun ware :-
—————
                      Boasting a thicker body and a turquoise and purple glaze , these were much sturdier than their
                      predecessors .
Guan ware:-
—————
                       The body of the porcelain became very thin with the glaze attaining  maximum thickness. Guan ceramics
                        are also referred to as' Brown  mouth 'because of their color and are very popular and the subject of
                        much imitation .
Quinbai ware :-
 —————–
                       This is a clear blue-white porcelain  which has incised and moulded decorations .

Blue and white wares :-
——————————–
                       Developed with a typical blue and white underglaze ,only a few examples of this original work
                      exist in the world .

             Chinese pottery ia also classified based on the colour palette or the famille used :-

              Famille verte  -utilizing  green and iron red with overglaze colors
              Famille Jaune-same as above with more of a yellow ground
             Famille Noire uses a more black ground
              Famille rose using soft colors , mainly pink and purple ,this has remained one of the most sought after work .

             A notable design technique used in many of these pieces is a process called reticulation ,cutting out
            small holes during the clay stage which on glazing leaves beautiful transparent  windows throughout the porcelain .

There seems to be a big old battle amongst the French Ski Schools in Serre Chevalier to see who can rank number one for Ecole de Ski Serre Chevalier. I’ve been helping out Davina and Olivier from Ski Connections to give them a bit of a push so they can attract some new business. Ski Connections pride themselves on being an Anglo/French Ski School in Serre Chevalier and have two sites to reflect this:

Their French site is called
Ecole de ski Serre Chevalier Ski Connections
and the English one is called
Ski School Serre Chevalier – Ski Connections

All their instructors speak at least two languages and they all speak English and French.  I did some videos with Davina in English and Olivier in French last Wednesday, here is the French one, I’ll put the English one here on Wednesday.

If you have been to Serre Chevalier in the summer, you may have seen the Outland shop in Chantemerle packed with mountain bikes and road bikes. Not now, they have all their shiny new ski and snowboard equipment ready to rent out for this season.

They can even deliver to your accommodation if you like, meaning you can be on the slopes quicker than ever. More details about this are here:
