I was at one time, after discovering 360cities.net, interested in making these spherical panoramas, but the cost of a special pano head, 15mm fish-eye lens, SLR to bolt it onto and time spent joining photo,s put me off.
I now take the easy route. My smartphone has the Google apk to make Photospheres which takes about 44 photos in a couple of minutes, joins them all automatically, and I can then upload to my Google plus and from there to Google maps, so if they are accepted they will appear on their Street View. I can also upload to 360cities and they will put them on Google Earth.

Why do many (especially Theravadins) emphasise the importance of Mindfulness (Awareness) practice?
in Buddhism

Luang Por Jaran at his very popular temple in Singhburi teaches only Vipassana, as does Luang Por Tong of Chom Tong, Chiangmai. Neither of them start off with Samatha meditation.
My teacher Supawan Green, a student of Luang Por Tean both teach only being mindful of the movement, sensation and breath ...being aware in the moment.
