Later he worked with Laser Images of Van Nuys, CA and was for a longtime part of the creative team as Light Artist for Tom Harman’s Laser Productions.

Bookshelves heavy with book on neurology and consciousness he became an engineering tech, prototyping Neural Stimulators for North American Biologicals. Neurostimulators are used to treat certain nervous system disorders. Dissatisfied with the literature he found on consciousness, he began his own research, interviewing Yogis, Astrologers, Mystics and Healers. This has brought him in contact with a universe of belief and theory. Which he studies, still. I hope these stories bring a smile and a little wisdom. AUMGN HA!
A card deck is a convenient, portable way to learn about reflexology According to the ancient art of reflexology, the body's organs experience illness when they receive the wrong signals from the brain. However, by stimulating pressure or "reflex" points on the feet you can interrupt the body's misguided instructions, and stimulate the body to naturally heal itself. Reflexology Card Deck gives readers a convenient tool to guide them in the art healing others and themselves through reflexology. A deck of 52 cards identifies a specific foot point on a photograph and tells the reader what healing benefit it has. On the flip side, the card explains the technique for stimulating the pressure point and expands on the benefits. Introduction cards explain the history of reflexology and the philosophy behind it.
This specialist monograph on SAA is presented in three parts, Urbanistic, Humanistic and Optmistic, and offers a practice overview, showcasing a selection of the firm’s large-scale works that have been designed and built over the past 10 years. It also offers an introduction to work in progress and conceptual architectural work. Driven by three tenets of architectural design, SAA is committed to delivering buildings and master plans that interweave and engage with the building’s surrounding neighborhood; have the public’s welfare at heart and are thoughtfully considered, user-friendly and accessible; and improve and enrich people’s lives. In each part of the book, the selection of buildings or project concepts is based on one of these sets of values and beliefs that underpin SAA’s works. They serve as exemplars of the works undertaken according to these governing principles. Dividing the book into sections and categorizing each building, however, does not mean that only one descriptive adjective applies to each one. Projects can and do share the other two qualities to a greater or lesser extent. Presented with rich photography, detailed illustrations, plans, and informative text analysis, this high-quality volume documents precisely how SAA’s works interweave, engage and influence people and their urban environment.
The cruise ship market is a 30 billion-dollar industry, and in 2013 it is estimated that it will carry more than 20 million passengers; nor is there any sign of a slow down in the seven percent annual growth. What keeps the passengers coming in such huge numbers isn't the food, the ports or the entertainment. They come for the magnificent floating palaces themselves, the giants of the sea.In this new book, the author showcases the most influential cruise ships of the last three decades beginning with Royal Caribbean's ground-breaking Sovereign of the Seas. When she was launched in 1988 she was the largest passenger ship constructed since Cunard's Queen Mary entered service some 48 years earlier, and her entry into service sparked a fiercely competitive building boom that continues to this day. The reader is taken aboard thirty of the most spectacular ships to reveal how their innovative designs changed the landscape of modern cruising. By employing original and archival photographs, deck plans, cruise programmes, as well as the author's intimate knowledge of many of these vessels, a unique picture is built up of these great ships and it becomes clear that the true Golden Age of Cruising is not in some distant past but exists right now, and that its origins can be traced back to one ship, launched in 1988.A truly sumptuous and fascinating book for all those drawn to the world of the modern cruise ship.As seen in Ships Monthly Magazine
