Have you ever spoken to someone who knew what you were trying to say before you could finish your sentences? Or, a person who knew what you were going to do before you did it? These are characteristics of someone who possesses psychic intuition. This gift or ability is the most future-oriented of the psychic senses. Psychic Intuition does not come in the form of a vision, voice, or feeling. Have you ever been in a conversation with someone and you couldn’t think of a name, then when the other person mentions the name it comes together. That is what it’s like when you have the gift or ability of Psychic Intuition. Although, in a case where you’re using it, you have never heard or known the person, place, or thing.

The Psychic Reception Area for Psychic Intuition is located at the top of the head, imagine a funnel right side up on your head. To use this ability, is as simple as thinking up.

1. Relax, sitting comfortably, and close your eyes.
2. Picture a funnel on top of your head.
3. Gently guide your awareness upward and focus all your attention out through that funnel and be open to whatever is experienced.
4. Make sure that you do not force your concentration.

Psychic Intuition is the fastest of the psychic senses so holding on to an impression may be difficult. It’s important to hold on to the first impressions and don’t second guess yourself. The following steps will help put this ability to use on a location:

1. Select a remote location.
2. Determine what you want to sense about the locations.
3. With your eyes closed, hold the location in your mind.
4. After shifting awareness upward to the top of your head, note the first impression that you get and write it down.
5. Follow up to see if you were successful or not.

This ability can also be used on people as well. Follow the five steps above, but instead of a location, think of a person. When you get to #5, try implementing what you received.

Personal notes taken from “You are Psychic” by Pete A. Sanders Jr.

Psychic feeling is the easiest to access and interpret. You know that feeling when you’re about to do something, and it doesn’t feel right? When you feel that something wonderful is going to happen and eventually it does? These are examples of psychic feelings.

People who have a natural psychic feeling gift may have these in the personality profile:

• You trust your feelings implicitly
• You can usually sense when something is wrong with someone, and are ready to help.
• You are concerned for and about other people.
• You want others to be emotionally at ease and expect them to be as caring towards you as you are for them.

In Windows CD burning is taken for granted. You can either burn a CD by using the Windows CD burning engine or by popping the software that came with the CD burner in the computer, install it and then burn. In Linux you have to build some features into the kernel in order for this wonder feature to work, followed by the actual burning software.

Device Drivers —>
SCSI device drivers —>
< * > SCSI CD-ROM Support
[ * ] Enable vendor-specific extensions (for SCSI CD-ROM)
ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL Support —>
< * > ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL
< * > Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support
< * > Include IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM support

Recompile the kernel and boot the system with it.emerge the basic tool for burning, which is cdrtools:

# emerge cdrtools

cdrtools is a command line program for burning CDs. To make things easier, you can also install a GUI program that will take care of the work for you:

• xcdroast
• gcombust
• gnomebaker
• k3b

Set the permissions for the programs:

# chmod 750 /usr/bin/cdrdao
# chmod 750 /usr/bin/cdrecord
# chown root:cdrw /usr/bin/cdrdao
# chown root:cdrw /usr/bin/cdrecord

To enable burning for users:

# gpasswd -a $username cdrom
# gpasswd -a $username cdrw

To find out what device id your burner is:

# cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus

If you have an ISO and you want to burn it to a CD:

# cdrecord -v dev=ATA:0,0,0 speed=52 -data -eject file.iso

I’ve seen ATAPI used instead of ATA. I’ve always had problems with that not working.

Introduction

Querying a database is just half of the battle. The other half is making the data that is pulled out of the table look pretty. Reports are used for those non-techie, higher ups that like it when things look pretty.

Using a debugger to help find errors will save you a consider amount of time. Eclipse is a great IDE because not only is it platform independent, but you can use it to program in many different languages. The features and plugins seem endless which is an added bonus.

The main reason why I like it is that it works on Linux.

Views have two purposes:

• Simplify issuing complex SQL queries
• Restrict users’ access to sensitive data.

Views are Database objects and are treated like tables. Unlike tables, views do not store any data. Views simply store a query.
