The Madeburg Water Bridge and Learn to Differentiate


Learn To Differentiate


If your mind is focused on an insignificant incident, it can destroy your happiness if you allow it to. To feel happy, your mind has to be free of pains and misfortunes.

Learn to differentiate between productive thinking about problems as a means of solving them, and counterproductive dwelling on misfortunes which gains nothing positive and destroys your quality of life.




Love Yehuda




 
Have you ever seen a river over a river? AMAZING.....
 
 
Even after you see it, it is still hard to believe!
Water Bridge in Germany.   What a feat!
Six years, 500 million euros, 918 meters long . . . now this is engineering!

This is a channel-bridge over the River Elbe and joins the former East and
West Germany ,
As part of the unification project. It is located in the city of
Magdeburg , near Berlin .
The photo was taken on the day of inauguration . . . 

To those who appreciate engineering projects, here's a puzzle for you armchair engineers
. . .  and physicists. 

Question:

Did that bridge have to be designed to withstand the additional weight of ship and barge traffic,
Or just the weight of the water?
 
 

Answer:

It only needs to be designed to withstand the weight of  the water!

Why?
 
 A ship always displaces an amount of water that weighs the same as the ship, regardless of how heavily a ship may be loaded.

The Incredible Magdeburg Water Bridge in Germany

The Magdeburg Water Bridge is a navigable aqueduct in Germany that connects the Elbe-Havel Canal to the Mittelland Canal, and allows ships to cross over the Elbe River. At 918 meters, it is the longest navigable aqueduct in the world.
The Elbe-Havel and Mittelland canals had previously met near Magdeburg but on opposite sides of the Elbe. Ships moving between the two had to make a 12-kilometer detour, descending from the Mittelland Canal through the Rothensee boat lift into the Elbe, then sailing downstream on the river, before entering the Elbe-Havel Canal through Niegripp lock. Low water levels in the Elbe often prevented fully laden canal barges from making this crossing, requiring time-consuming off-loading of cargo.
Construction of the water link was started as early as in the 1930s but due to the World War 2 and subsequent division of Germany the work remained suspended till 1997. The aqueduct was finally completed and opened to the public in 2003.

How Dry Is It In Texas with the record heat? and your ultimate moment

This Moment is the Ultimate Moment of Your Life Until Now

"This moment is the ultimate moment of my life until now." How can you say this? Because this is the moment that you've been practicing for your entire life. Everything you've ever studied and everything you've ever learned is now stored in your brain. The wisdom of your life experiences has reached its highest point (so far) at this very moment.

This moment is made up of all that you've ever learned and done. All the moments of your life have added up to this very moment. So since this moment is so special, make it really special. How do you do that? With your self-talk. With your thoughts. With the way you draw upon all of your skills and talents and wisdom. With the words and the actions your mind tells you are the best for this moment.

Just consider this moment special, and it is. And this is not only true for this moment. Rather, it is true for every single moment, for as long as you live. The present moment is the culmination of your life until that moment.

At this moment and each moment, you get to choose your thoughts, and your words, and your actions. Make wise choices. Make choices that you will look back on later and say, "I am glad that I made those choices."

I know all this from the new set of experiences I am going through..My daughter, who I have been the caregiver for the last 35 years is currently in a locked mental institution because she has lost her ability to focus.

Every previous moment helps me to know how to handle this time in my life


Love Yehuda

A buddy out of Longview said he'd killed a mosquito that was carrying a canteen.

A man in Dime Box said the chicken farmers were giving the chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs.

In Lake Palestine , they caught a 20 lb catfish that had ticks on it!

But just this week, in Bryan, a fire hydrant was seen bribing a dog.

It's so dry in Texas that the Baptists are starting to baptize by sprinkling,


the Methodists are using wet-wipes,


the Presbyterians are giving out rain-checks,


and the Catholics are praying for the wine to turn back into water.


You can always tell a Texan, you just can't tell them very much.

Remember Positive Moments


When you feel discouraged, you are likely to remember past failures and disappointments.

 This leads to more emotional pain and increases your discouragement.

 Make a conscious effort to remember any positive moment in your life. Even if you can only remember one time when you felt positive about yourself or only one time
 when you manifested confidence or strength

You presently have a resource that is yours for life. Calmly recall the positive feelings you once had and realize that since you have experienced confidence and strength once,
 you can continue to experience it in the future.

Love Yehuda

Guess what the Ad is for.. Best Ad ever. and Profit from Insults

Profit From Insults


Rabbi Yerucham Levovitz said, "When someone insults you, even for selfish reasons, do not automatically disregard what he says. Rather, check yourself to see if there is any aspect of truth, regardless of his intention, and try to learn from it."

For example, if someone says you are "lazy," instead of becoming upset, use this as a motivation to overcome some aspect of laziness you do have. Even though you are usually not lazy, you can still improve.

Love Yehuda


 
 
 
 Try and guess what this commercial is for … BEFORE it ends … It's one of the best ads I've ever seen However for my more sensitive friends --there are crosses and devils here.

Simple home remidies and the lovers do downtown San Diego on 07.10.11

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlaCvHERATQ



The lovers do downtown San Diego on 07.10.11 and see a very funny play: My Mother is Italian, My Father is Jewish, and I am in Therapy.

Create A Mental Haven


When we travel to locations noted for their tranquil settings, we become calm and relaxed.

 We let go of all tension and stress. It is not the place that enables one to feel this inner peace. It is one's mind which accomplishes this.

 When the setting is just right, our minds let go of all the factors that prevent us from feeling serene. And serenity is what we experience.

Your mind has the ability to create a serene personal haven. The place you can visualize can be truly perfect. When you mentally come to your personal haven, you immediately feel all tension and stress melting away. If you ever find yourself in a place that is especially challenging to your level of serenity, mentally visit your personal utopia.

 
Love Yehuda

THESE REALLY WORK!!
  I checked this out on Snopes and it's for real! 

AMAZING SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES:

1. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO
 HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP.

2. AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET SEAT BY USING THE SINK.

3. FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND BLEED FOR A
 FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR VEINS. REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER.

4. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON.

5. IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF LAXATIVES. THEN YOU'LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH.

6. YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

7. IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

DAILY THOUGHT:

Learn To Ignore Insults


When a wise person is insulted, he acts as if he doesn't know that anything's been said. He acts toward the insult like a deaf person who does not hear and a mute who cannot speak. He walks away as if nothing happened. He does not repeat the incident to anyone.

On the other hand, people who respond to insults - or even worse, tell others how someone insulted them - cause themselves humiliation.

Learning to ignore insults is a valuable skill. Mentally prepare yourself in advance to act as if you are totally deaf when it comes to hearing insults.

Bill Clinton Singing in Israel about seven years ago--Many ironies here including the song chosen and Bill's actions and Jewish life in Poland

Acquire Inner Wealth


Only what you have acquired spiritually is truly yours. Therefore your main focus in life should be on acquiring positive inner traits.
A person who seeks only to increase his external possessions is lacking internal possessions, which are what really counts.

Love Yehuda



 

 

 




MAY THEIR MEMORY BE FOR A BLESSING (see attached)

Always Check the Barn and Serene Visualization

Serene Visualization


Your power of visualization is one of the most valuable gifts the Creator gave you. With your ability to imagine, you can develop every positive trait, state, pattern, habit, and way of being that you wish.

Mentally picture yourself being serene. If you can do this easily, great. If you cannot yet do this easily, relax; eventually you will be able to. Visualize a relaxing scene where you would certainly be able to feel calm. See details of the most peaceful place you could possibly imagine.


Speaking of Visualization, here is a couple whose visualization gave them more than they had bargained for!!

Love Yehuda









Always Check the Barn


A New York man retired. He wanted to use his retirement money wisely so it would last, and decided to buy a home and a few acres in Portugal.
The modest farmhouse had been vacant for 15 years; the owner and wife both had died, and there were no heirs. The house was sold to pay taxes. There had been several lookers, but the large barn had steel doors, and they had been welded shut.

Nobody wanted to go to the extra expense to see what was in the barn, and it wasn't complimentary to the property anyway......so, nobody made an offer on the place.

The New York guy bought it at just over half of the property's worth, moved in, and set about to tear into the barn.......curiosity was killing him.

So, he and his wife bought a generator, and a couple of grinders.......and cut through the welds.

What was in the barn...............?


The Barn


The doors were welded shut, but an angle grinder took care of that.

Bloody WICKED!!!!!!

ALL TOGETHER THE VALUE WAS $35 MILLION DOLLARS.

THIS IS A TRUE STORY. THE MAN AND HIS WIFE HAD FULL CLAIM

TO THE LOT.

THEY HAD A GREAT RETIREMENT!!

Kolmar-France and enjoy your wealth with a beautiful Rainbow over San Diego









"If you hire only those people you understand, the company will never get people better than you are. Always remember that you often find outstanding people among those you don't particularly like."
--Soichiro Honda,
Japanese engineer and industrialist


Last Night there was a very unusual full Rainbow over San Diego college area, with moisture from the South and East. Every Rainbow is a spiritual sign from G-d.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQutvmYj3wU

Enjoy Your New Wealth


The moment a poor person gains great wealth, he feels tremendous joy and is sincerely grateful to the Almighty. After a while, he usually forgets the initial joy and no longer takes pleasure in what he has. His focus shifts to trying to obtain more wealth. Regardless of what he has now, it is not considered sufficient.

Contrast this with the person who is aware that every single moment he and his wealth are entirely dependent on the will of the Creator. He constantly feels the original joy anew -- because this moment is not dependent on the previous one.

Some beautiful photos and Resolving Indecision --07.05.11








 

Resolving Indecision



If a person is indecisive about which of two courses of action to take, the question to ask is: "Which choice will bring more honor to the Almighty?" The reply to this question is the path to choose.

LIVE EACH DAY AS IF IT WERE YOUR LAST AND LEARN AS IF YOU WOULD LIVE FOREVER

"Never squat while wearing your spurs"
 


 

Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash, was one of the

greatest political sages this country has ever known. 

Enjoy the following: 
1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.


2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.


3. There are two theories to arguing with a woman.

Neither works.


4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.


5. Always drink upstream from the herd.


6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.


7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it

and put it back into your pocket.


8. There are three kinds of men:

The ones that learn by reading.

The few who learn by observation.

The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence

and find out for themselves.


9. Good judgment comes from experience and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.


10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then

to make sure it's still there.


11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.


12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring.

He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.

The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.


ABOUT GROWING OLDER... 

First ~Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying

about your age and start bragging about it. 

Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for. 

Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers.

Not me; I want people to know 'why' I look this way.

I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved. 

Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth,

think of Algebra. 

Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks. 

Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top. 

Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about aging

is that it's such a nice change from being young. 

Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been. 

Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable. 

Tenth ~ Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks,

it was called witchcraft.

Today it's called golf. 

And, finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble,

you won't have anything to laugh at when you're old

Dutch Floating Market and life beyond Fifty isn't a picnic and happy third of July 2011


LIFE BEYOND FIFTY:



Maybe it's true that life begins at fifty.
But everything else starts to
wear out, fall out, or spread out.

There are three signs of old age.
The first is your loss of memory,
the other two I forget.

You're getting old when
you don't care where your spouse goes,
just as long as you don't have to go along.

Middle age is when work is a lot less fun
and fun a lot more work.

Statistics show that at the age of seventy,
there are five women to every man.
Isn't that the darnedest time for a guy to get those odds?

You know you're getting on in years
when the girls at the office start confiding in you.

Middle age is when it takes longer to rest than to get tired.

By the time a man is wise enough to watch his step,
he's too old to go anywhere.

Middle age is when
you have stopped growing at both ends,
and have begun to grow in the middle.

Of course I'm against sin;
I'm against anything that I'm too old to enjoy.

Billy Graham has described heaven as
a family reunion that never ends.
What must hell possibly be like?
Home videos of the same reunion?

A man has reached middle age
when he is cautioned to slow down by his doctor
instead of by the police.

Middle age is having a choice of two temptations
and choosing the one that will get you home earlier.

You know you're into middle age when
you realize that caution is the only thing
you care to exercise.

At my age, "getting a little action" means
I don't need to take a laxative.

Don't worry about avoiding temptation.
As you grow older, it will avoid you.

The aging process could be slowed down
if it had to work its way through Congress.

You're getting old when
getting lucky means
you find your car in the parking lot.

You're getting old when
you're sitting in a rocker
and you can't get it started.

You're getting old when
your wife gives up sex for Lent,
and you don't know until the 4th of July.

You're getting old when
you wake up with that morning-after feeling,
and you didn't do anything the night before.

The cardiologist's diet:
if it tastes good, spit it out.

Doctor to patient: I have good news and bad news:
the good news is that you are not a hypochondriac.

It's hard to be nostalgic
when you can't remember anything.

You know you're getting old when
you stop buying green bananas.

Last Will and Testament:
Being of sound mind, I spent all my money.

Look at this ROAD! and Live Now







Live Now


It is easy to build up in your imagination the amount of pleasure and happiness you will derive from future events. But by over-anxiously anticipating these future events, you lose your present moments. Frequently those future events turn out disappointing. You had exaggerated their value.

The way to make the most out of your life is to live every second as fully as possible. Regardless of your situation, you have the opportunity to utilize every moment for growth.

To someone who has adopted this attitude, it will not make a great difference how the exact details of life unfold. No matter how things turn out, he still has the opportunity to make it a growthful experience.


Love Yehuda
