After covering 103 miles on Saturday and roosting close to a river, 09 decided to go a bit more upmarket last night and spent the evening in the grounds of a château! He left his roost site at 8 am yesterday morning and he obviously wasn't in a rush as he had only covered 3 miles by 9 am. He then picked up speed and managed to get a few more miles under his belt, always flying below 500 feet. By 12 noon he felt a sense of urgency and had picked up speed to 46 mph, however, this was short-lived and by 1pm he was travelling at a rather more relaxed 27 mph. He followed this leisurely pattern and had only covered 102 miles by the time he reached his roost site. He decided to spend the night next to the ponds of Le Chateau de La Seilleray in the region of Pays de la Loire. What a site!
09 had an early start this morning and by 6 am he was nearly seven miles north of the château. There was no sense of urgency today though, by 1 pm he had only flown 34 miles. This slow progress so close to home shows how exhausted 09 must be after flying nearly 2700 miles! If only he knew where 5N has been spending most of her time. His last point showed that he was five miles South of Brittany and only 60 miles away from the English Channel. Only 340 miles to go!

yah so. everybody's been buzzing bout theBoomBoom! and evidently, pxthis was no exception (it also seems we were the ones who got the information correctly the quickest, but hey what else is new).
then apparently yesterday, our ole buddy steve-lewis (and then grubstreet) broke the news "Kamil Parchomienko will handle the room…" !!
wow! and yay!
those of us who know and love and/or remember former original subMercer GM/Maitre d' kamil-parchomienko (also of MercerKitchen, SunsetBeach, StandardMiami, and StandardLA) are of course totally delighted that kamil, the prodigal son, has returned to NYC after a loooong time away. hooray!
oh but i kinda feel a little bad for him though, cuz i don't know whether or not kamil will appreciate his name being alls out there right before he is about to open the hottest spot in town. i mean like for example,
we alls know the WaverlyInn's emil-varda has a fake name (and business cards). i also know two of my pals who run LaEsquina refrain as best they can from giving out their names too. and for sure, back in the day, i rarely ever gave peoples my real name either.
not that "the press" ever gave a shit who the GM or Maiterdees were before, so that's a new one, but whatever.
but i digress.
anyhoo. steve-lewis goes on to describe "They want to do two seatings, 4–9 for small plates and 10–2/3 for late night. Super high-end Rainbow Room/Rose Bar/Windows on the World style $18–25 drinks and DP by the glass…"
wow again! and uhhh… kinda… THANK GAWD (?!)
i don't know about you, but i'm a little sick of places that only cater to young unkempt insomniac kids whose trust funds haven't quite kicked in yet. not that i ever went to any of those places (mostly cuz ha ahaa i couldn't get in), but i just think it's really really great somebody is finally thinking of us "olds" (ya know— the ones with TASTE) and giving us a place we can go and have fun before one o'clock in the fucking morning.
oh! yah— and since you were wondering
the answer is YES! that's the kamil you're thinking of. of course it is! who else would it be.
he's also one half the character "michael" in the series (the other half is current BlueHill@StoneBarns GM, philippe-gouze) and if all goes well, he'll be played by actor (and former clubUSA bartender) darren-kendrick.
hmmm how many is that now? ha ha ha ahaa haaah i'll give a crisp new benjamin to the first person who can correctly identify every person in the book who now works at theStandard.

we have a winner on the contest! granted, it was technically an "intern," but i guess that's my fault for not specifying in fine print something about "…cannot be affiliated blah blah blah…"
also: we negotiated and settled on a dead general instead of a dead genius, so there is that.
thanks for playing!

I don't like to play the "I got to do this and you didn't" card, but I was recently invited to a couple events that were pretty incredible that I HAD to share with my readers.
I was invited to spend an evening (along with about 100 of my closest friends) at Lakewood Theater with the one and only Francis Ford Coppola. Even more amazingly, FFC Winery invited me to join Francis' wife, Eleanor, for their "Women in Wine" lunch.
I'll just say this … the whole day was incredible. At lunch, I was among some of the most illustrious women in the Dallas wine scene in the Red Slippers Suite at the Hotel Zaza. The fashionable gaggle of ladies was greeted with a glass of the Coppola Winery's sparkling wine, Sofia Blanc de Blanc, and headed up to the suite for our three-course lunch by Dragonfly. We were asked to go around the table and toast the woman to our left and right, but were told that Francis' superstition was that, if you didn't maintain eye contact during a toast, you were guaranteed eight years of bad sex. Just to be safe … we all followed the instructions!
Each course welcomed incredible conversation to go with the great food and the perfectly-paired wines. The first course was a Bluepoint Oyster Spring Roll with Tobiko Caviar Creme Fraiche paired with another glass of their Sofia Blanc de Blanc. While we enjoyed this, Eleanor asked each of us to share why we love wine. Each woman's answer was incredibly different, but intriguing.
Eleanor then told us a bit about her life with Francis. Did you know that she's an accomplished film and sculpture artist who has shown throughout the world, an author, a documentary filmmaker? She is, no doubt, the strong woman that made the man.
Our second delicacy was a Baby Kale Salad with house-cured duck ham paired with the 2012 Gia Pinot Noir, named for and created by Francis' grand-daughter and director/screenwriter of the soon-to-be-released "Palo Alto". This wine is not yet available to the public, but when it is, get your hands on it as it'll be perfect for a summer dinner on the patio.
The third course was Roasted Prime NY Strip Steak with Shitake Mushrooms paired with Eleanor's own wine, Eleanor. Eleanor had a large part in creating the wine whose label bears her name and her very own art, and the wine was as complex as the woman herself.
Dessert … oh dessert … was a buffet of some of Dragonfly's favorites with more Sophia. Dessert was actually sad as it meant that the experience was coming to an end.
Before adjourning, we were all given permission to call our gracious and dynamic hostess "Ellie". I'll probably stick with Eleanor, but knowing there's the option is kind of … awesome.
The evening held as many delights, including light bites and various Coppola wines poured generously throughout the event venue, the historic Lakewood Theater. Francis spoke about his lifelong passion of filmmaking, his accidental yet fortuitous foray into the wine business, and most importantly, his family. Hearing such an inimitable man speak about the small things in life that he enjoys, like writing songs for his grandchildren, was a real treat.
Overall, it was a really memorable day. As much as I loved the Coppola wines, knowing the story behind some makes me love them even more!

Christmas is one of the most favorite holidays all over the world. Many people celebrate it and congratulate all relatives and friends. Christmas seems to be a holiday with the biggest quantity of gifts which we give each other.
Christmas gifts are difficult to choose because you need a lot of them and over and above you need them every year. How not to repeat yourself? And one more question is a budget which you are ready to spend on Christmas gifts. Can you afford it? Not to go crazy and go to pot, just do-it-yourself!
There are so many amazing ideas of DIY Christmas gifts. Most of these gifts are inexpensive, but very good-looking. For example, a snow globe from a mason jar. It's beautiful, unexpected and cool. At the last it's a handmade gift and it's always worth. Another example is a DIY pillow with Christmas ornaments. It will decorate any interior not only in Christmas Eve but all year round. Next one is DIY postcards. They are the cheapest gifts but cherished ones. What else? You can make candle holders from mason jars. It's an elegant and useful gift. And again astonishingly cheap. In fact you can make many wonderful things from mason jars but it is a subject of another article. Finally, you can make with your own hands not only a gift, but a packing too.
Here you'll find some ideas of DIY Christmas gifts and packing. May be these photos will inspire you to your own ideas. Good luck! And Merry Christmas!

Zoheb Hassan To Release New Album 'Signature'23 June 2017 - The Express Tribune
KARACHI : Renowned Pakistani singer Zoheb Hassan is all set to release a brand new album titled Signature which is being billed as a collection of some of his best works, stated a press release.
The Disco Deewane hit-maker has collaborated with UK-based music director DJ Swami for the new project, who has previously worked with international artists like Apache Indian, Stereo Nation and Shania Twain. Imran 'Immu' Momina of Fuzon has also composed three tracks on Signature.
Arguably the most exciting song on the album is the Nazia-Zoheb Dance Mix, which includes the last track Zoheb's late sister, Pakistani pop icon Nazia Hassan, sang. Nazia had sung alternate versions of hits such as Koi Nahi, Disco Deewane and Boom Boom – all three of which have been incorporated in Signature.
Zoheb burst into the limelight with songs such as Dosti and Chehra. To date, the singer has received 12 gold, four platinum and two double platinum discs in his career. He is also the recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award from the United Nations Association of Pakistan and an award from Oxford University for Achievements in the field of South Asian Music.

giving you a feeling of being miles from anywhere, but with the convenience of the lovely market town of Wareham only a mile and a half away. You can use your car (the lodge has it's own parking) or take the slow route by bike or foot across the fields to have a browse around the market on the quay on Saturdays or the farmers market on a Thursday. The town has lots of lovely cafés and bars and is situated right by the river.
Or if you feel like staying even closer to home there is a pub within stumbling distance for a cosy dinner or quiet pint. Ideally located as a hopping off point for some of the most stunning sections of the Jurassic Coast, you'll be spoilt for choice for walks and short trips to the beach.
Swanage and Studland are a couple of our favourites and a trip to Durdle door is a must. Steeped in maritime history the area also has lots places to visit, including Poole Harbour (the second largest natural harbour in the world), which encapsulates Brownsea island (one of the few homes of the red squirrel) and Corfe Castle.
So whether you want to hide away in your own little oasis of calm and make the most the surrounding forest here or explore all that this diverse area has to offer, Sika Lodge will give you the chance.

Two years in the making, alternative rock band Coldplay's new album, essentially a concept piece about Chris Martin's break-up with Gwyneth Paltrow, has certainly garnered a number of extremely favourable reviews. In today's harsh critical climate when major groups can expect to be torn to pieces by a fearless music press regardless of the consequences, that's remarkable indeed. It's all the more remarkable given that all things considered, Ghost Stories is from its arse to its f***ing elbow, one, long stagnant f***ing pool of premium grade f***ing cockwash! I would rather chew off my f***ing scrotum than ever listen again to this boneless f***ing melange of morose f***ing piss-shit! I would rather eat an entire f***ing yurt, washed down with f***ing beige paint recently shat out of an incontinent yak's anus! Put it this way; so remorselessly insubstantial is this album that if it were submitted to the f***ing British Homeopathic Association as a f***ing potential remedy, they'd f***ing knock it back, saying: "No good, mate. You've over-diluted it, you silly twat!"
Never in human f***ing history, since fish first slithered onto the f***ing land and sprouted limbs has there been a more nondescript f***ing decade than the f***ing Noughties and never has there been a more nondescript f***ing group than those gelatinous c***lords Coldplay! They made Dido sound like Bessie f***ing Smith! They filled the giant f***ing void in pop culture in the early 21st century because they are a giant f***ing void! Somehow, Martin's knack for trudging up and down a keyboard like a middle aged man in f***ing chinos strolling to the f***ing corner shop to buy the f***ing Daily Express while singing like he'd just been kneed in the f***ing bollocks caught the zeitgeist of the dullest, do-nothing, think-wishfully generation of all f***ing time! In the rock & roll hall of fame they sit near the f***ing exit like a f***ing birch veneer occasional f***ing table! Getting excited about f***ing Coldplay is like getting excited about the f***ing Liberal Democrat Spring conference!
Anyway, Martin got married to f***ing Gwyneth Paltrow, that ghastly, gulping, giraffe-necked, sick-making long drink of carb-averse goop, they created their own f***ing hole in the f***ing ozone layer flying around the world with Martin warbling about how concerned they were about the f***ing environment, spawned a couple of sprogs and saddled them with life-ruining names, promoted every f***ing vapid strain of spiritual, anti-materialist New Age nonsense while raking in the f***ing ackers like whorehounds and then finally "consciously uncoupled", though it's a f***ing wonder either of them could stay f***ing conscious in each other's company at all, given that they're the two most testicle-achingly f***ing tedious people on earth! And now Chris is sad. He feels like shit. And he's perfectly conveyed that unremittingly f***ing excremental condition on f***ing Ghost Stories!
So, track one 'Always In My Head' sets the f***ing dolorous tone. "I think of you/I haven't slept.", whines Martin, while f***ing George, Ringo and Ringo or whoever the f*** the other three are try not to fall asleep at their f***ing instruments. Next up, 'Magic'. No, sorry, it's not about actual magic. Tommy f***ing Cooper retrieving the f***ing ace of spades from a pack using a f***ing blindfolded wooden duck, not that. Nothing remotely entertaining. No, as f***ing ever, Chris Martin's here to suck all the f***ing joy out of the room like a giant f***ing Happiness Hoover! A wan swirl of keyboards, like that pink water you get at the f***ing dentist's swilling down a f***ing metal hole, and Chris is all about how he f***ing "can't get over" you know who…

Sign Language
In-booth graphics can be a powerful component of your exhibit-marketing program – when they're used effectively.
Exhibit graphics should address three key pieces of information: 1) who you are, 2) what your product or service is, and 3) how your product or service benefits your target market. Yet when I walk trade show floors, I'm often amazed at the number of graphics that leave me scratching my head and pondering, "Hmmm. I wonder what that company does, and why is it here?"
While it's impossible to touch on every nuanced facet of the vast universe that exhibit graphics inhabit, here are some items to consider to make sure your graphics are effective and cost-efficient and won't leave attendees scratching their heads.
Concise Messaging
Some exhibitors believe they should cram as much information onto their graphics as possible, when in most cases the opposite is true. Getting your message across generally needs to happen quickly, as it takes passersby about four seconds to cross 10 feet of your booth's perimeter. Your graphic content needs to be short enough to be read almost instantaneously, so stick with the billboard design philosophy that copy should be limited to six words on one line.
Powerful Words
Your graphics should include words and imagery that will evoke strong personal emotions in attendees and persuade them to purchase your product ndash; or at least entice them to step into your booth. I like to say graphics should serve as the aspirin for your target audiences' headaches. As such, your messaging should be directed to your target market's specific pain points and offer solutions.
Words such as "reduce," "proven," "increase," "improve," and "save" are particularly effective at describing the benefits of your products or services and will resonate more strongly with attendees than just a bulleted list of features. Also, copy that is written in an active voice ("Clients love our products") is more engaging than passive voice ("Our products are loved by our clients"), and therefore much more likely to make an impact.
One note on selecting powerful imagery: When choosing between a simple product shot or a picture of a person using your product, go for the human element. In my experience, this goes a long way toward helping attendees feel an affinity for ndash; and connection with ndash; your brand.
Optimal Visibility
One of the age-old questions about exhibit graphics is whether or not bigger is always better. It may seem like an oversimplification, but not all graphics are created equal when it comes to where a passerby or booth visitor will be reading them. You need to plan the size and location of your graphics with this in mind.
Generally speaking, graphics fall into one of three categories. Graphics that act as a magnet so attendees can find your exhibit from across the show floor, such as 3-D hanging elements, are long-range graphics. Mid-range graphics, such as those on an exhibit's walls, are meant to be noticeable from a distance of about 20 feet and are used to slow down prospects as they approach. Graphics within your booth space that will be viewed close up, including banner stands, product literature, and promotional signage, fall in the short-range category.
The placement of mid- and short-range graphics is often the most critical. Someone once gave me a sage piece of advice: Any graphics below the waist are a waste. And in most cases, that's correct. Booth visitors aren't usually looking around below waist level for clues as to what your company's showing. A graphic designer I've worked with swears by the "2-foot rule" that states any short-range graphics should only be placed in the top 2 feet of an 8-foot-tall exhibit property. This makes sense, as everything from booth staffers to product displays can block attendees' view of any critical messaging that appears below shoulder level.
If you have the luxury of assembling your exhibit with all the graphics in place before a show, I recommend doing a broad overview of the visibility of all your in-booth graphics and signage to determine what passersby will see when approaching your exhibit from different aisles and distances. It's usually an eye-opening experience and a chance to avoid snafus.
Impactful Colors
Since the eye processes color first, make sure that the most important elements on your graphics "pop" with a palette that maximizes their readability. Select text colors that provide a sharp contrast to the background color, blue and orange being a prime example. If you don't have a trained eye for graphics or contrasting colors, there's no shame in using a color wheel to aid in your selection. And it's always a good idea to check your corporate style book for guidelines regarding the Pantone Matching System (PMS) or CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) builds.
Exhibitors frequently ask me whether graphics should contrast or complement the colors of their exhibit properties. The truth is there isn't a hard and fast rule, as there are pros and cons to each strategy. For instance, graphics in a contrasting color can draw attention to a new product or special promotion, while complementing colors create a stronger brand impression. So before making the final call, bring up the matter with your exhibiting program's stakeholders and reach a consensus.
Unusual Shapes
Sometimes it pays to think outside the box. Since most graphics' visual lines are square or rectangular, anything that isn't one of these common forms is likely to catch your visitors' eyes. Flash back to geometry class and brainstorm what shapes might be a good fit for your graphics. One simple starting point is your company's logo. For example, if your logo is the company name over an oval background, carry that shape through to your signage, hanging banners, etc. Even a subtle typographical change, say swapping out circular bullets for oblong ones, can add a touch of the unexpected and hopefully lend your exhibit graphics more visual appeal and memorability.
Eye-catching Movement
Moving elements, both in the physical and digital realms, are a surefire way to draw attendees' eyes ndash; and then their feet ndash; to your exhibit. Video walls, LED displays, and touchscreens are now the norm and offer countless ways to showcase innovative graphic content. But this digital deluge has left many exhibitors sidestepping lower-tech options that can be equally effective, such as using gobos to project moving corporate logos or key words within your booth space.
To get even more physical, consider having your hanging sign rotate using a turntable to attract additional attention. I've even gone so far as to mount fans to the top of an exhibit to make a series of hanging banners sway in the breeze. While digital graphics certainly have their place, a little bit of old-school movement is a welcome ndash; and unexpected ndash; element on the trade show floor that stands out amid a sea of digital signage.
Consistent Aesthetics
Few things can take exhibit graphics from stellar to sloppy like inconsistent design, colors, and fonts. Everything from your humble tri-fold brochure to your full back-wall graphics should relate to each other aesthetically. Also remember that your exhibit is not an island, but an extension of your company's brand. Make sure you and your graphic designer are familiar with the company's corporate style book so all graphics are consistent with other customer- and industry-facing media that portray your brand.
Appropriate Substrates
Nothing about trade show exhibiting is permanent, but that doesn't mean you want to toss your graphic collateral before its time. And nothing will shorten graphics' lifespan faster than printing on flimsy substrates. On the other side of the coin, you may not want to invest in top-of-the-line graphics for a single event. The key is to look at your event schedule for the entire year and determine your graphic requirements. For instance, which graphic elements should be more generic, as they will be used every time you exhibit (e.g., signage bearing your company logo or the collateral for a core item in your product line), and which should be produced with a specific message, as they'll be displayed only once?
Using that logic, determine which graphics are suited for mounting on an economy substrate such as Foamcore versus a more sturdy backing like Sintra, factoring in the amount of wear and tear they'll have to endure during the length of their proposed use. I should add that this question not only applies to printed graphics, but also the ever-changing technology used with various video displays. If I'm doing signage or graphics on a video display or videowall and it's going to be a permanent fixture in my exhibit, I would consider purchasing the display since it will usually be cost effective to do so in the long run, especially if it is a touch display or new technology that may not be available yet for rental through the official show contractor. But if I need a generic flat-panel monitor for a single show to display a looped video or to use in a meeting room that my client got as part of a one-off sponsorship package, I'd probably consider renting it.
While we're considering longevity, don't forget to budget for cartons, cases, tubes, or crates to protect your graphics during shipping and storage, and don't skimp on packing materials. Using sheets of foam or Bubble Wrap can prevent scratches from hook-and-loop fastener, and cardboard corners will keep your graphics from getting dog-eared. A little investment now can extend the life of your graphics down the road.
A final piece of advice: With graphics, there's almost always an element of the unknown until they're actually placed in your exhibit. So many things can go wrong ndash; and often do ndash; such as low-resolution art files that produce pixilated images, poor color matching, side-by-side panels that don't line up during installation, and even spelling errors that weren't caught in the final proofing process. To avoid being stranded on the show floor with a graphic crisis, always make sure your graphic files are available, either on a thumb drive, on an accessible company server, or stored in the cloud. The need to reprint graphics arises often enough to warrant the extra work of keeping these files easily obtainable. E

Really attractive. Must be difficult to live with these many dark days..although the snow should brighten you you up a bit?
Sun shines even on the coast of Norway, sometimes. Very last chances of some decent weather, these days, before an endless winter takes over. That's why I'll surprise you using color film, for once.

Premiere: Visions of Lizard – The Serpent (Tomas Urquieta Remix) [Ensamble]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The electronic musician Carlos Flores, originally from Mexico City, now residing in The Netherlands, comes back with Triptych. His second EP in less than four months under the pseudonym Visions of Lizard, this time with Mexico City based collective and label Ensamble.
Our pick off the EP comes from Tomás Urquieta. A producer who we seem to be instantly drawn to on numerous EP features. His take on 'The Serpent' sees him lift and already extremely dark minimal track into a more manageable club based spectrum. Mainly highlighted in the more prominent drum use over the controlling bassline.
Visions of Lizard 'Triptych' is set to be released on cassette April 28th via Ensamble.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

With a bunch of spontaneous friends, everyday is an adventure. One weekend, we decided that adventure would be Mount Macedon to admire the autumn scene before winter arrives. Located about an hour's drive away (depending on traffic and the number of stops you take), the area is popular among tourists who want to have a taste of Victoria's country side. After weeks of gloom and rain, we were counting our blessings for that sunny weekend !
The usual blur me decided to leave my Fujifilm X100s battery at home. Therefore pictures in this post are from JW's Canon 550D
With all the cars whizzing past us, this picture was the hardest to take.
There were two popular gardens in the area - Tieve Tara and Forest Glade. We spent most of our time in the latter
Watchiu looking at.
So there was this couple that was super in love, and full of PDA in the garden. Couldn't help but make fun of them because we kept bumping into them.
Like always in our pictures !
I swear I wasn't stalking them.
More lovey doveys. Hope these two have a happy marriage, if they ever find this picture !
Best company.
We headed up the memorial cross after driving around the ranges
And.. here's a random beautiful church.
For me, this was the perfect week 9 getaway. It wasn't too far, the drive was easy, and we managed to get a good deal on the car through Budget ! We were lucky to have caught a glimpse of the autumn leaves near the end of the season as the best time to visit is usually mid autumn.
Although I thoroughly enjoyed the company and the scenery, I felt that the destination is overhyped. Yes of course Instagram pictures look beautiful, but those are the product of heaving editing. Some things are better seen and appreciated with the eyes. Ironically, I am writing this blogpost and showing everyone pictures of Mount Macedon. I simply believe company is what matters most during road trips like these. You could have the best cameras, best equipment and the prettiest sceneries, but with the wrong people, all these go down the drain. Glad to have the opportunity to travel with these girls in our final year.
It kind of seems like my blog is turning into a fairly personal food/travel blog. Not that I mind, even though I don't have as many readers as I used to when I started blogging. I am actually rediscovering my passion for writing and photography. Now that SWOT VAC is around the block, you would think that these travel blogposts will stop but nope. I have more lined up, so stay tuned !
Till next time,

In a word, no.
We've hit the point where the latest attempt to find a way to replace the aging (and decrepit) facilities for the Raiders and Athletics has been formally submitted to the City for consideration. It will soon be made public officially, and soon after that, it will be dead.
This is a $900 million plan that if we lived in a magical world of unicorns and ponies would appear one morning with a new stadium, hotels, retail and office space and a balanced budget with no debt so that everyone can live together in harmony and the teams will play on in Oakland forever.
In practice, this deal looks to be requiring significant investments by the city (which says it has no money), the county (which is actively trying to sell it's share of this property to the city and get out of any involvement), the Raiders (who have said they hate it and aren't interested in spending money on it) and the A's (who aren't thrilled at spending money on it either).
By the way, the Raiders have hired Carmen Policy to oversee the possibility of the Raiders move to Compton to a proposed new stadium to be shared with the San Diego Chargers. A second stadium proposal for LA involves the St. Louis Rams moving to a new facility on the grounds of what was Hollywood Park.
The NFL has increasingly expressed its frustration with Oakland's inability to figure out how to replace the Colisseum, which is a pit.
To boil down the problem Oakland is facing: the Warriors are moving to San Francisco, leaving them with an empty building and about $80 million in debt left over from when that building was last upgraded. On top of that, Oakland is on the hook for $99 million in debt still unpaid against the football/baseball park — all of which was refinanced in 2015.
The Raiders have a possible (probable? Likely?) opportunity to move to a brand new building in LA at effectively no cost to them. They're being asked to pay a big chunk of their new building in Oakland. If you look at the other cities considering moves to LA, both San Diego and St. Louis are working on packages to help get new facilities built worth about $300-350 million. In Oakland, they're asking the Raiders to stay for the good of the fans that love them.
If you look at attendance, Raiders are one of the teams that struggles to sell out its games and which has (in part because of NFL blackout rules) the worst TV ratings in the league. The Raiders were 30th in home attendance in 2015, in fact.
So consider the Raiders choice here: pay a few hundred million dollars to stay in Oakland for the love of the fans (and have 10% of the stadium empty every week with nobody watching, or accept a deal to move to a new, much larger stadium in Compton and a TV market they don't have to share with the much more popular 49ers. Is it a big surprise they have Carmen Policy helping foster this move for them? For all the Raiders have walked the political fine line of being publicly supportive of Oakland so they don't piss off their fans before the deal is final — in the back room the interns are packing the boxes and looking for apartments to the south.
Can you blame them? Whether you like the idea of public financing for pro teams or not (and there are lots of reasons to argue against it) look at the three teams involved here: two are being offered packages around $00m to stay, and one is being asked to pay around that amount to stay, and given Oakland's been trying to figure out how to upgrade these facilities for over a decade and failed miserably, could you blame the Raiders for not exactly trusting them this time to get it done?
So I think it's safe to say the Raiders are done in Oakland. And something to think about: even if the Compton deal doesn't happen and instead the Rams move to LA, there are people talking about the Raiders taking the deal being offered to the Rams in St. Louis and moving there. So we may end up with the LA Rams (back where they used to be) and the St. Louis Raders. There seem to be no rational scenarios where they remain in Oakland.
Where does that leave the A's? Well, to be honest, where they've been for years: screwed and with few options. Lew Wolff's attempts to build a new ballpark first in Fremont and then chasing his own personal unicorn in San Jose have both turned to failure and dust — the only person who still seems to think the A's to Oakland might happen is Mark Purdy — and frankly, the number of cities that have MLB caliber facilities empty and waiting for a team, or a willingness to building, count up to — zero. So the A's can't even do what the Raiders are doing and hold their breath and turn blue if Oakland doesn't build them a new baseball stadium. They basically can't threaten or bluff to get anything.
That's one reason why the A's seem to be the lost stepson in all of the new building discussions in Oakland. Here's the other reason:
- SF Giants, 2,000M
- SF 49ers, 1,600m
- GS Warriors, 1,300m
- Oakland Raiders, 970m
- Sacramento Kings, 800m
- Oakland A's, 725m
- San Jose Sharks, 425m
- San Jose Earthquakes, 145m
These are the 2015 Forbes franchise valuations for all of the major sports franchises in the Bay Area. The A's are worth well under half of what the Giants are, and a few hundred million less than the Raiders (which are worth a crapload less money than the 49ers). In the hierarchy of value, the city of Oakland has done the right thing in trying to save the Raiders, and while Wolff has gone on record as saying he doesn't want to share a facility, the fact is he has very little leverage in this discussion, and I think he knows that.
If there's a rainbow on the horizon of this civic disaster, I think it's that in the next few months a lot of things will finally happen — the Warriors will get final approval for their new building in SF and the Raiders will back up the moving vans and head either South to LA or East to St. Louis, and that'll leave Oakland and the A's to sit down and figure out how to do something with the Colisseum that both sides will be mostly happy with?
Oh, and how to do that when you already have $180 million in debt on the buildings, no primary tenant for the arena and are trying to pay off the bills with concerts and tractor pulls and a week of Ringling Brothers every year? Assuming the concerts and circus don't move to San Francisco into the new building with the Warriors?
Oakland's in a tough spot here. The A's are in a really tough spot as well, since they have no real options other than find a way to make things work in Oakland. A lot of the problems in Oakland tie back to their (really stupid and financially idiotic) decisions made when they brought the Raiders back from LA. Those problems magically don't go away even if the teams do, but they complicate the ability to solve the current problems.
This, in a nutshell, is why so many city funded deals for pro sports buildings are idiotic and ultimately go sour: to make them fundable and viable, the length of time planned to pay off the bonds ends up to be much longer than the lifetime of the buildings, and when the building wears out and need upgrading or replacing but the bills are still going on for another decade, bad things like this happen.
In retrospect, Oakland shouldn't have brought back the Raiders. If they hadn't, they could have focused more on upgrades for the A's and not on building Mount Allen, which everyone hates (and is an eyesore). The money spent upgrading the arena was well-intentioned, but it turns out that building's setup limits what you can do with it — Key arena was effectively a clone of the Oakland building and Seattle ran into very similar problems, a bad rebuild of the building, and ultimately losing the team as well. Sometimes, what you have needs to be thrown out and started over, and both Seattle and Oakland learned that the hard way, and which Phoenix is struggling with with the building the Suns are playing in — another almost clone of the Oakland building.
But things could be worse. The situation in Oakland is painful and Oakland is going to lose two of its teams and have to figure out how to solve its building problem to keep the third — but none of that remotely comes close to the pain and financial and political disaster that is Glendale Arizona home of the Gila River arena and the (at least for now) Arizona Coyotes of the NHL where people forget that on top of the stupidity the city got itself into building that hockey arena, they also put in even more money into the Camelback Ranch spring training project that lured the Dodgers away from Vero beach. Whether hockey is viable in Arizona is the least of their problems — Glendale has hundreds of millions of dollars of debt and no way to remotely get that under control or paid for, with or without the Coyotes.
So Oakland has made some mistakes in the past but now they're trying to do what they can with what they have, so I'm not going to criticize them even htough I think it's obvious it's not going to work and the Raiders are history there. I hope they come to grips with taht soon and shift their focus to figuring out how to save the A's and build something worthy of them, although to be honest, I have questions about whether the Bay Area is still a two MLB-team region or not, just like it really isn't a two-NFL team market any more. The problem with saying that is that I'm not sure what other options the A's would have. I still think Wolff made a major mistake giving up on his Fremont project so easily in favor of chasing rainbows in San Jose. Folks who have been stuck at dinner tables with me know I've been saying since day one that would never fly, and for once, I've been proven right….
My two scenarios for the A's are this: Wolff and Oakland figure it out and put a few hundred million into upgrading the current stadium and deleting that ugly Mt. Davis monstrosity and turning it back into a real ballpark is the likely one.
But failing that, I think it might be time for Wolff to sell and move on, and allow some new owner to start fresh and look to build a new building — I'd be looking along the BART lines in Pleasanton/Dublin area or up around Walnut Creek. The problem? Good land for this kind of project is increasingly rare and expensive.
So let's hope once Oakland and the Raiders give up on each other for real the city and the A's can figure it out. If there's a franchise taht deserves to be given a bit of love by its city for being the good soldier through all of the other crap Oakland had done to them over the years it's the A's.

Mentor: Rand Fishkin, CEO and Co-founder, SEOmoz
Techstars Program: Seattle
Andy Sack tells me your relationship with Techstars started very organically.
That's true. My first relationship was with Andy but this most recent class I even knew some of the participants, Marcelo Calbucci, in particular. I visited to give a talk about inbound marketing for startups. From that, I met with a few of the teams and have been taking meetings here and there near the SEOmoz offices, chatting with the founders about what they are up to and how I can be of help.
What is about mentoring that makes it worth your time?
I'm extremely passionate about the city of Seattle and the start-up scene here. I'm of the belief that we have far more talent and capability than we get credit for. As a Seattle based startup who has had a nice run of things so far, one thing we have not been lucky with is raising money and part of that stems from a geographic bias that seems to work against us. I'd like to see that change and I know that being a mentor fosters that growth. I want to get us on exciting road maps.
What's keeping you busy seasonally?
I recently did a speaking event with Hackers and Founders, an organization of about 4,500 people in the early stage technology world in Silicon Valley. Day to day, SEOmoz is growing month over month and we're up to 50+ employees.
Growth is happening everywhere! The accelerator scene is alive and well.
Agreed. One of the things that excited me about last year was the $100K convertible note for Techstars companies. It encourages founders and people who either more risk-averse or in need of cash flow to to even consider Techstars in the first place. Then when they're in, you see more energy as a program. These kind of incentives create a higher and higher calibre of companies applying and I think it's wonderful. I'd love to see an increase in geographic diversity of mentors and the folks that do the actual funding too.

This time of year, conversations at Chow Bella staff meetings tend to turn to who's eaten what and where. With the summer travel season in full swing, we bring you Food Tours, our writers' suggestions of what to eat and drink out of town.
Though Houston is better known as a business center than a tourist destination, there's plenty to see, do, and eat here. As is the case with everything Texas-related, this place is large -- in both square miles and volume of worthwhile restaurants. What that means for most visitors is that you aren't going to get to taste it all.
For a short visit with enthusiastic gastronomic aims, we'll recommend focusing your energy on the Montrose neighborhood, located in the heart of Houston. It's a food lover's paradise, where you can stand on the steps of one excellent eatery while staring at the windows of another. It's also where we did most of our dining on our recent summer getaway. (P.S.: The nightlife in this and the surrounding areas is a blast.)

Machi cure Uchi 904 Westheimer 713-522-4808 www.uchirestaurants.com
If you've heard about Uchi and imagine it to be a high-end contemporary Japanese restaurant where reservations are a must, then you're right. But that doesn't tell the restaurant's whole story. Transplanted from Austin, courtesy of James Beard Award-winning chef Tyson Cole, this hip eatery has another side that's more approachable and much less expensive. To catch it, you'll have to show up early -- as in, before the restaurant opens at 5 p.m. At that time, even without a reservation, you can snag a seat at the sushi bar (and we do recommend the sushi bar, where you can chat it up with the friendly and knowledgeable staff) and partake in what they call "Social Hour." The special menu, which is available from 5 to 6:30 p.m., features some of the restaurant's most popular dishes at considerably reduced prices. You can order off the dinner menu, too, so you don't feel like you're missing out. The machi cure is a delightful dish featuring smoked yellowtail topped with Asian pear, almond, and garlic brittle that's enjoyed nacho-style on yucca chips. It's just $6 during Social Hour, normally $12. We also recommend the walu walu, oak-grilled escolar with candied citrus, yuzupon and myoga; the ham and eggs roll, katsu pork belly sushi with yolk custard and espelette; and (because why not), the foie nigiri, which is exactly what it sounds like -- and darn tasty.
Cocktail Anvil Bar and Refuge 1424 Westheimer Road, Suite B 713-523-1622 www.anvilhouston.com
We enjoyed a Pimm's Cup when we stopped in, but there's no way to go wrong when ordering at this bar. And calling it a bar doesn't feel totally right; it would feel more honest to call it a temple to all things cocktail. The menu offers dozens and dozens of drink options, each meticulously made to the highest standard. The bartenders at Anvil are obsessed with details like the type of ice (crushed or cubed, according to the drink), style of glass, and precise measurements. They have an arsenal of housemade beverage accouterments and liqueurs, and they change their menu seasonally. It's impressive, regardless of whether you know anything at all about how to make a drink. Pro tips: Parking is a pain, so expect to valet; it will be crowded so don't count of having a seat; and be prepared to wait, because these bartenders aren't going to rush their process for anything.
Sausage and cheese kolache The Kolache Factory Multiple locations www.kolachefactory.com
A friend from Houston (who was living in Phoenix at the time) casually suggested one morning that we pick up kolaches for breakfast, at which time we learned that though the Eastern European pastries are super-popular and widely available in Texas, they are mostly unheard of in Arizona. Said Houston native went on to describe them as "bread filled with meat and cheese." Though accurate, that description doesn't capture the slightly sweet character of the pastry that makes it such a delicious treat. When you're in Houston, you can find them at nearly every doughnut shop, and there's plenty of debate about where to find the best ones. But for an easy, inexpensive drive-thru breakfast, the Kolache Factory, founded in Houston, will do just fine. Kolaches, about the size of a hockey puck and best-enjoyed warm, come in a variety of flavors such as sausage, ham, bacon, and chorizo. And if you are already familiar with kolaches be warned that these are not the same as the tradional Czech pastry. They're an almost exclusively Houston invention and quite good.
Sweet & Spicy Pig Ears (with a local beer) The Hay Merchant 1100 Westheimer Road 713-528-9805 www.haymerchant.com
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
The Hay Merchant is mainly a beer bar, which means in addition to enjoying a pile of crispy fry-like pig ears, you can get a taste of authentic Houston brews. The Hay Merchant is to beer fiends what Anvil is to cocktail enthusiasts, and it's actually owned by the same two dudes, Bobby Heugel and Kevin Floy. They're on the way to building an empire on Westheimer Road and also own award-winning restaurant Underbelly, located next door. As far as beer goes, you'll have more than 50 options of beer on tap but for Houston beers, you'll be choosing between Karbach and St. Arnold's. The pig ears are a must-have snack that arrive at your table thin-cut, crispy, and sweet in a brown paper bag. More sweet than spicy and with a perfect crunchy/chewy balance, we're betting you won't have trouble polishing the hearty serving. Provided you're willing to eat pig ears at all.
Teddy Camp S'mores ice cream The Chocolate Bar 1835 West Alabama 713-520-8599 www.theoriginalchocolatebar.com
One step inside The Chocolate Bar, located in a small strip of shops on a mostly residential block, and you're already going into sugar shock. It's got a roomful of quirky novelty chocolates (think chocolate cell phones and cowboy boots), a case full of assorted truffles and chocolate-dipped sweets, more than a dozen chocolate-based ice creams, and, most impressively, layered chocolate cakes that produce single slices as big as your head. In addition to a large scoop of Teddy Camp S'mores, decadent white chocolate ice cream with cinnamon cookie bits and marshmallows, we stocked up on novelty Texas-themed chocolates for souvenirs and took home a box of assorted candies including chocolate covered Pringles and Oreos, champagne truffles, and hazelnut chocolates. Next door, you'll find a vintage style candy store making this a power spot for dessert in Houston. Next time, we'll be back for cake.

Law Reviews
Law reviews are the scholarly articles of the legal world. These publications present the analysis of legal issues. Most law reviews are written by law professors and practicing attorneys, along with some student work. Law reviews present new theory and doctrine; intensive analysis; comprehensive documentation; opinion and dialog*.
Lexis Nexis is the best tool for finding Law Reviews at CSUSM. Follow these steps to find law reviews:
- Starting with Lexis Nexis Academic, choose US Legal on the left side of the screen, and then choose Law Reviews
- Enter your search terms and be sure to change the drop box to At Least 5 Occurances to ensure that your words are prominent in the article.
- You can limit your search to specific areas of the law such as Constitutional Law or Immigration Law.
- Review the results for relevant articles
- Look mainly for articels labeled ARTICLES, because OPINIONS or NOTES may be written by law school students.

text: Our Laboratory Progressive Laboratory Program Progressive Laboratory Program Quality Lab Care at Our San Diego IVF Clinic At Hanabusa IVF, we continually monitor new developments in laboratory procedures and protocols with an effort to improve our laboratory program and keep up with all the new technological developments in the field. Our San Diego Embryology laboratory is designed to provide the most advanced, up-to-date care. We use a unique mini incubator system, which allows us to create the optimal environment for embryo cultures; we work to make sure the cultures remain as close to their natural environment as possible. Air quality and continuous maintenance of laboratory equipment is also an essential aspect of our lab program. We've installed a special air filtration system designed for IVF laboratories that removes particulate and VOC contamination. Positive pressure is maintained throughout the laboratory so that outside contamination cannot enter the lab environment. Petri dishes for oocyte and embryo cultures are prepared a day in advance of the procedure so that sufficient time is allotted for the culture to reach the desired temperature and pH equilibration. Embryos Are Carefully Monitored During Development In addition to high-quality patient care, we pride ourselves on our attention and diligence to laboratory processes and procedures. Patient verification and double witnessing is a key in every step we do in the laboratory: Before and after all egg retrievals, we confirm the patient's identification and engrave this information on the bottom of the petri dish. When oocytes or embryos are moved into different dishes, a second witness verifies the patient's information. Next, the patient's name and other personal identifiers are confirmed before both the insemination of oocytes and the freezing of embryos. Finally, the patients are asked to confirm their full name and date of birth before embryo transfer and the identification process is fully documented. Cameras are installed in every microscope in our laboratory; they are connected to video monitors allowing patients to observe egg retrieval or even their insemination procedure. (Note: Because we use smaller needles than more conventional fertility practices, our patients do not require general anesthetic remain awake during the procedure.) The same system enables patients to observe embryos on the screen before the optimized embryo transfer procedure.

Skinhead Endures 25 Surgeries To Remove Hate Tattoos So He Could Get A Job
"You can leave your past behind, but you can't run from your own flesh."
These are the words of Bryon Widner, a reformed white supremacist who endured 25 horrendously painful operations over 16 months to remove the race-hate tattoos that covered his head and hands.
Widner joined the white supremacist movement when he was 14 to impress a skinhead family member. Over the years, he became increasingly notorious in the movement, well-known for his quick-to-fight nature, and the tattoos that multiplied over his body and face: HATE on his knuckles, "Blood & Honour" on his neck, "Thug Reich" on his belly, swastikas on his scalp, and a warrior rune on his forehead symbolizing his willingness to die for his race.
The man who had dedicated 16 years to hate fell in love in 2006. He left the movement, got married, had a baby, and renounced the racist ideologies of his past. He wanted to be family man, to support his wife, her children, and his new son. But the hate and violence branded all over his body made it nearly impossible to find a job.
He found some part-time work shoveling snow and a few odd repair jobs, but could hardly earn enough to make ends meet month-to-month, let alone save up the tens of thousands of dollars necessary to remove the tattoos from the visible parts of his body.
He considered burning his skin off with acid.
His wife, Julia, also a former white supremacist, was desperate. She contacted Daryle Lamont Jenkins, the black founder of One People's Project, which monitors alleged racist and far right groups, posting members' names and addresses on his website.
Jenkins put him in touch with The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which has successfully shut down white power groups and won large payouts for victims. When Widner called, the SPLC's chief investigator Joseph Roy told TheAssociated Press that "it was like the Osama Bin Laden of the movement calling in."
Widner joined the Outlaw Hammerskins in 2002, a network of regional skinhead gangs that dominated the American white supremacist movement in the late 1990s and early 2000s. As the Hammerskins' power waned, Widner co-founded the Hoosier State Skinheads and the Vinlander Social Club, groups that resembled a disorganized, ultra-violent criminal subculture rather than a revolutionary political movement, according to David Holthouse, a former investigative reporter for the SPLC.
Widner spent four years in jail on murder charges, but was never convicted.
"No one was more aggressive, more confrontational, more notorious," Roy told the AP.
"I got convinced that the Jews were at fault for all my woes. The black man has been keeping me down, this and that. When all in all it was because I was a screw-up," Widner told the AP. "I didn't hate anybody, I hated myself."
Roy flew out to meet the couple, and was greeted by Widner, with his ink-stained face clashing with a "World's Greatest Dad" sweatshirt. Roy became convinced of the couple's sincerity. Widner shared intelligence about the inside structures and rules of various skinhead gangs. Roy began searching for a donor to sponsor Widner's physical redemption.
In the meantime, white supremacist groups began harassing Widner's family, calling at 3 a.m. with death threats, dumping pig manure on their cars, and forcing the family on some nights to flee in fear to a hotel.
After a warning by the F.B.I., Widner and his family moved from Michigan to Tennessee. With the help of his father-in-law and a pastor, he was able to find some work.
Roy called. He had found a donor -- a woman so moved by his story that she was willing to pay the $35,000 for the removal, as long as Widner agreed to get counseling and go to college.
Dr. Bruce Shack, chairman of the Department of Plastic Surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, performed the operations. "This wasn't just a few tattoos," Shack told the Boston Globe, recalling the first time he met Widner. "This was an entire canvas."
The change of heart proved easier than the change in skin. The pain was horrific. The doctor told Widner it would be like the worst sunburn of his life. The skin swelled and blistered. "I told myself it was a penance," Widner told the AP. "I deserved it."
MSNBC filmed the operations and recovery. At a screening of the documentary, "Erasing Hate," in California, a black woman came up to Widner afterward, hugged him, and said "I forgive you."
The couple had to move soon after the film's screening; he was considered a race traitor, after all, to several large and heavily armed gangs. His wife pawned her wedding ring to buy groceries. But then Widner found some decent work in construction, and as a tattoo artist.
He got his GED, and both he and his wife plan to start classes soon at the local community college.
Widner hopes his story will discourage a kid or two from entering the world of white supremacy. As his surgeon put it: "Anyone who is prepared to put himself through this is bound to do something good with his life."

Border Terrier
Though the breed is much older, the Border Terrier was officially recognized by The Kennel Club in Great Britain in 1920, and by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1930. The border terrier was bred to have long enough legs to keep up with the horses and other foxhounds, which traveled with them, and small enough bodies to crawl in the burrows of foxes and chase them out so the hunters had a blank shot. The foxhounds that traveled with them were not small enough to do the Border terrier's job. In 2006, the Border Terrier ranked 81st in number of registrations by the AKC,[2] while it ranked 10th in the United Kingdom.[3] In 2008, the Border Terrier ranked 8th in number of registrations by the UK Kennel Club. Appearance Unstripped Border Terrier with puppy. This is the "natural" form of the Border Terrier coat. 4 month old Border Terrier Identifiable by their otter-shaped heads,[4] Border Terriers have a broad skull and short (although many be fairly long), strong muzzle with a scissors bite. The V-shaped ears are on the sides of the head and fall towards the cheeks. Common coat colors are grizzle-and-tan, blue-and-tan, red, or wheaten. Whiskers are few and short. The tail is naturally moderately short, thick at the base and tapering.[4] Narrow-bodied and well-proportioned, males stand 13 to 16 in (33 to 41 cm) at the shoulder, and weigh 13 to 15.5 lb (5.9 to 7.0 kg); females 11 to 14 in (28 to 36 cm) and 11.5 to 14 pounds (5.2 to 6.4 kg).[4] The Border Terrier has a double coat consisting of a short, dense, soft undercoat and harsh, wiry weather and dirt resistant, close-lying outer coat with no curl or wave. This coat usually requires hand-stripping twice a year to remove dead hair. It then takes about eight weeks for th top coat to come back in. For some dogs, weekly brushing will suffice. Most Border Terriers are seen groomed with short hair but longer hair can sometimes be preferred. [edit]Temperament Rooney with his owner. Though sometimes stubborn and strong willed, border terriers are, on the whole very even tempered, and are friendly and rarely aggressive. They are very good with children, but may chase cats and any other small pets. Borders do well in task-oriented activities and have a surprising ability to jump high and run fast given the size of their legs. The breed has excelled in agility training, but they are quicker to learn jumps and see-saws than weaving poles. They take training for tasks very well, but appear less trainable if being taught more tricks. The border in recent years has been bred to harbor a more subtle character so are more adaptable to apartment living if properly exercised. They are intelligent and eager to please, but they retain the capacity for independent thinking and initiative that were bred into them for working rats and fox underground. Their love of people and even temperament make them fine therapy dogs, especially for children and the elderly, and they are occasionally used to aid the blind or deaf. From a young age they should be trained on command. Borders can adapt to different environments and situations well, and are able to deal with temporary change well. They will get along well with cats that they have been raised with, but may chase other cats and small animals such as mice, birds, rabbits, squirrels, rats, and guinea pigs. Borders love to sit and watch what is going on. Walks with Borders will often involve them sitting and lying in the grass to observe the environment around them.

Before I begin let me note that alot of the public transit in cold northern areas in the US are kind about allowing people to stay warm in winter as long as it doesnt get too disgusting. Its hard on the public and pt employees too becuz the street scenes in many cities have just degenerated into such a poor state of jerks and idiots that its hard for people to be tolerant. Im convinced this is all by design).
Harvard Square Station is intense with forced speech and self talk. Of course this also is used to discredit along with the small yet constant stream of gang stalkers doing harassment.
I couldn't keep quiet here even if I wamted to.
I'm also getting a lot of mirroring from locals lately. For years its been a tactic of this system to have certain locals read this blog and either react to it or use it for mirroring me.
So an example would be that a certain shady local simply repackages some blog content and regurgitates it back to me and Im in such a state that I dont CONSCIOUSLY realize its source or what the person is doing.
Its part of brainwashing or further mind control of the Survivor (of programming).
Recently Ive noticed that certain people I still associate with are taking content from WHAT IVE SAID OUT LOUD in the train station (maybe outside in public spaces I cant think of an example).
In addition to feeling I cant keep from talking (due to tech maybe but definitely anxiety from being harassed and mobbed constantly or a combination of the two most likely. They've known for years its a coping skill for intense anxiety and they've used it against me the entire time.) whatevers present in Harvard station could be whats having the ability to make me sleepy at a moments notice as well as theres sexual arousal used to add to anxiety and as usual in hopes of causing aggressive reactions. This could
(If this is just my imagination and untrue then why am I rewriting this post due to the original having disappeared after its writing when Blogger usually saves whatever is being written frequenlty enough that SOME of it would survive a accidental 'go back' button push?)
I have taken screenshots of the electromagnetic environment in Harvard Square station. Cell phones can be useful to Targets for more than just the camera and voice recorder. You can use this technology to gauge at least spme of whats in your environment that could cause harm or influence behavior.
It seems that cell phone calling and texting are at full capacity-all bars lit up.
Data WAS working at normal speeds until THIS was ready to be posted. Now its ok again.
There's one wifi open and its the same big company name that seems to be present in all the Cambridge train stations and requires an account so Im assuming its part of the MBTA. (Its creepy that buses have private wifi here. Perhaps its for the security camera images..even more creepy.)
Where I was sitting theres one more wifi but its locked.
I would like to go thru all this areas stations and maybe we can begin to work together by having a database of different stations in each city. Its interesting to think of starting something where TIs can contribute to create info for us all.

The beginning of this meditation describes the torus, which is pictured here. This energetic mechanism creates a toroidal flow, where energy comes in through the top circumnavigates the spherical shape on the inside, comes out through the other end and moves around the outside to return again to the top. We have versions of this system all around us. The heart is a torus of sorts, moving blood out of the heart to deliver oxygen to the body and returning it back for more. Beyond the heart's physiology, it is an energetic torus, constantly reminding us that what we put out energetically we will see returned. The earth is a torus, our solar system is a torus; our chakras are toruses and their toroidal flow is the stuff of our thoughts, our emotions, even our state of physical health.
This meditation works with a simple root chakra affirmation, allowing it's positive vibration to express into the world. Enjoy.
