I saw Taj Mahal on Friday night, and he was amazing. Sorry the NIMBYs can't handle such greatness — now, the complaints are not about building designs, but noise.
Aug. 23 — To the Editor:
I saw Taj Mahal on Friday night, and he was amazing. Sorry the NIMBYs can't handle such greatness — now, the complaints are not about building designs, but noise.
A while ago, I wrote an op-ed warning about the three kinds of Portsmouth we can end up with as we transition from a town to a city. The first is a gentrified retirement community for the wealthy. The second was a half-hearted and abandoned port town that was never allowed to grow. The third was a vibrant and healthy community that accepted change.
Portsmouth has not always been a destination city. In the past, it had quite a reputation as a place where visitors should not go. It's very surprising to me that one or two of the one or two people complaining about noise and growth don't remember this or seem to selectively forget it.
Do you know what allowed Portsmouth to change for the better? Music and the arts. This fortunately started in the late '90s and is now in danger. Portsmouth has become a place where there are things to do, and that makes it vibrant and healthy. Nowhere do I know of where you can see a play, see live music, enjoy amazing food and then hop on a helicopter for a training course. All of these things are wonderful, and most of us do not find them inconvenient — in fact, we celebrate them, and knew that if we didn't want that kind of city, we wouldn't live here.
It is depressing that a small collection of elitist NIMBYs have enough spare time on their hands to have the sole ear of the City Council (at least that is how the Portsmouth Herald has portrayed it). It is sickening to hear our own councilors wave around mob-mentality phrases like "turn down the volume or we shut down the operation" from Councilor Jack Thorsen. Such bravery to wield arbitrary authority. Also, I hope Councilor Esther Kennedy can learn some statistics and realize that two people do not constitute a significant number for decision-making.
This is again a warning to the rest of Portsmouth and those of us who wish to see it grow into its next phase — if you let this all-too-vocal minority of whiners get their way, there will not be a Portsmouth left as you remember or envision it.
Please join me in making sure these people do not get their way, since apparently being accepting, tolerant and neighborly is beyond them. They are not the ones who love Portsmouth — they are the ones trying to destroy it through the grip of stasis.

The only bird we saw in every state was the Turkey Vulture. No vast kettles, yet, only ones and twos. But the turkey vultures would certainly leave the places we saw them – Montana, North Dakota, Illinois and Indiana, Pennsylvania and Ohio and eventually New York – and head south. Maybe only to the southern borders of the same state in the case of some of the Pennsylvania birds, maybe down beyond the limits of the US through Central America for the westerners.
Unlike me, they did not have a UHaul truck or the benefit of Motel 6 (in places where that was in fact a benefit – in Bismarck, the oil boom also destroyed my habitat by ensuring there were no beds available on an entirely average Monday night.) Unlike me, they probably do not worry too much about the concept of home and where that actually is if you follow the promise of fresh carrion and warm air currents here and there across a continent or more in search of a main chance. It's a good thing Turkey Vultures cannot write, or they'd probably be better at this than me – more widely experienced, more patient, and better at using carrion as a metaphor in the first place (it's a metaphor for success, you guys. Get it?) But for now, just in time for a fall migration that seems, so far, to consist mostly of a single Marbled Godwit at Jamaica Bay and those few dispersing Turkey Vultures, I'm back in New York, four years and small change after leaving it behind.
The carrion smells promising here.

In Colombia I'd not often see more than a handful of Turkeys, but they were around most places all year. At the end of October a kettle of around 2000 birds did pass through. I suspect these Turkeys were from NW USA or Canada – you can see some tracks courtesy of the Turkey Vulture Migration Project. It was great to see migrants arriving at their "winter" homes when normally I just think of migrant birds leaving in the fall.

I love browsing used bookstores - you never know when you will find a hidden gem you didn't know you needed. Brenda loves to browse thrift stores and can do so for hours, but a typical thrift store book section for me is at best a 5-minute exercise.
When researching Austin, we knew it had lots of thrift stores, what we didn't know is it has the mother lode of bookstores. We only found that out when we parked our car2go at the Goodwill on North Lamar and I noticed next door was a big box store called "Half Price Books." It didn't look anything special, just your typical suburban big box store with what I expected would be full of the typical publisher's remainder books.
Backstory: Remainders are books that no longer sell in sufficient volume for a publisher to continue promoting economically. Therefore, the publisher sells whatever inventory they have on-hand to book remainders distributors and book wholesalers at deep discounts who then sell them to the public for as much as 90% off the publisher's suggested retail price. These books may still have a lot of life left and can be very profitable for Internet booksellers and brick and mortar retail stores. If chosen wisely, you can have a nearly inexhaustible supply of near perfect books acquired at bargain basement prices.
Boy was I wrong….
So I headed into Goodwill with Brenda and thought I'd check Half Price Books out once I had done my thrift store browsing. Sure enough after about 15 minutes I said to B, "I'm heading over to the bookstore, see you in about 10 minutes."
I first checked out the book bins outside and the prices were good and the selection was surprisingly interesting. Once inside, I had to give my head a shake, as the store was Disneyland for any book lover. For those of you who live in Calgary, it is like Fair's Fair Books in Inglewood times 10 - maybe more. And it works a bit like Fair's Fair with people selling them books for cash - there is no store credit option.
Feeling the Love
I wandered in a daze for bit, trying to take it all in. Finally I asked, "Can I take pictures" as this was definitely blog worthy. It took awhile, but I got permission and everyone was very helpful when I asked about books on urban planning, biographies, music and golf.
When I went into the Rare Book section (the size of most used bookstores) I was greeted with "how may I help you" and she really meant it as she tried to find something that might interest me. I couldn't believe the enthusiasm of the staff, everyone really loved their job.
However, I walked away empty handed, but full of lasting impressions. So much so, when I figured out Austin's south side the Goodwill and HPB are across the street from each other I said, "We gotta go there before we leave."
Two days later we were there for door opening. And it was the same thing the staff were welcoming, knowledgeable and attentive. This time I hit the mother lode for my book collection. In the clearance section I found a first edition Ansel Adams biography by Mary Street Alinder. Guess how much? rallod eno (read backwards). But that is not all, it is signed by the author.
I decided to get in touch with HPB marketing, communications and public relations team to find out more about the history. I provided them with a list of questions and within 24 hours Zachary Nash, Community Outreach Specialist Half Price Books North Lamar emailed me back with answers to all of my questions. How impressive is that?
Everyday Tourist: Where is your biggest store?
Zachary: Our largest store by far is the flagship location on Northwest Highway in Dallas. It is 54,000 square feet and is also the location of HPB's corporate offices.
Everyday Tourist: How big is Austin's North Lamar store?
Zachary: The North Lamar location is the second largest in the entire company, with about 20,000 square feet of bookstore goodness. It also sport the company's only Rare Books Room, a special annex that houses rare, collectable, signed, first edition, and out of print books, records, and ephemera.
Also, North Lamar features a sizeable community space where we host various events, including author signings, independent publishing seminars, pet adoptions, figure drawing workshops, and virtually anything else for which our community might find reasonable use.
Everyday Tourist: Where is your smallest store?
Zachary: Our store with the least square footage is a petite shop of 5,600 square feet located in the lovely town of Apple Valley, Minnesota.
Everyday Tourist: What is the most valuable book the North Lamar store has ever sold?
To my memory, the highest priced, most exciting item we sold was a 1659 first edition of A True and Faithful Relation of What Passed for Many Years Between Dr. John Dee and Some Spirits. Dee was a mathematician, alchemist, occult philosopher/sorcerer, and advisor to Queen Elizabeth I.
The tome is a manuscript unearthed from his home and published by Meric Casaubon, whose apparent motives were to criticize and slander Dee. However, the book was a huge success and cemented Dee's reputation as a legendary mystic.
We wound up selling it about a year ago to the owners of a private museum in England who intend to restore it to its original splendor using the book's original plates.
Everyday Tourist: What is the strangest request you have received or questions asked? A funny story?
Zachary: We get some colorful characters at our location. Something about bookstores draws in personalities you might not encounter elsewhere in the world. I've seen people come here on dates, for meetings, or even just to kill an afternoon.
And we have regulars whose tastes we've gotten to know through their years of patronage, so like a good bartender who has your drink ready as soon as you walk in, we can often show off cool new merchandise tailored to their interests we know they'll appreciate.
A strange request came about when I was recently stationed at our information counter. A woman approached me to ask if we had any books that would help her trap a ghost in a crystal. I wanted to help, because there's obviously a fascinating story there and my curiosity was definitely piqued. I asked her if she knew what that technique was called, because that information might help me locate something for her.
She smiled and said, "I don't know what it's called, I just need to know how to do it." At this point our employee who runs the Metaphysics section stepped in to help her sort out the request and I didn't hear any more about it, but I like to think she was able to find a crystal big enough to suit her needs.
It really doesn't take much effort on our part to keep Austin weird 'round these parts.
Everyday Tourist: Approximately how many books do you have in inventory at any given time for all of your stores? Records? Comics?
Zachary: Our inventory fluctuates in amount pretty frequently, but it's usually over 200,000 items. Since we buy the majority of our stock directly from the public, our merchandise changes daily.
I do know that last year HPB donated over a million books to schools, charities, and non-profits, and our inventory did not suffer, so we've got plenty of goods to go around.
And I know serious record and comic collectors who shop our stores on the regular because it's almost guaranteed they'll find an elusive gem in our stacks. I think one of the best things about our merchandise is that we carry materials that simply do not exist anymore. In addition to the more traditional printed and recorded materials available, we also stock VHS tapes, 8-track and standard cassettes, and laserdiscs.
Some things go out of print almost immediately, and you have virtually no chance of finding them again at other stores. But you can find them at Half Price Books. And we can search our entire chain-wide inventory and ship books from any location, so for instance, if you're a diehard Golden Girls fan, we can track down Rue McClanahan's My First Five Husbands…And the Ones Who Got Away for you. I just checked, and as I write this there are at least eleven copies available. Incredible.
Everyday Tourist: What book do you currently have the most copies of?
Zachary: I really don't know! We have lots of books and the amounts of individual titles fluctuates as they sell. I do know that some current hot sellers are The Girl on the Train, the Martian and To Kill a Mockingbird.
Everyday Tourist: Any other fun fact, figures etc. would be great.
Zachary: Ken Gjemre and Pat Anderson cofounded our company in 1972 in a renovated Laundromat stocked with books from their personal libraries in Dallas, TX.
I've heard that Pat was a brilliant woman who used pencils all the way down to nubs, with fully intact erasers because there was never need to correct her work. They have some of her pencils at the corporate offices.
The company is still family-owned, with Pat's daughter Sharon steering the ship. She goes by her nickname, Boots.
I've heard that Michael Jackson once arranged a shopping spree at Austin's Northwest Highway store sometime in the 1990s, arrived after hours in sunglasses and spent thousands of dollars on art books (rumour, but from a good source).
Oh, and some of our employees are gifted authors. Kate DiCamillo, who wrote Because of Winn-Dixie is a former HPB employee. My coworker Dale Bridges published an excellent collection of short stories called Justice, Inc., which has been a best seller out of our Local Authors consignment section.
Everyday Tourist: How big is HPB's inventory?
Zachary: Chain wide we have more than 20 million items. We'd estimate at any given time we have about 14,000,000 books, 775,000 comics and 470,000 records, the remainder being cards, dolls and other collector items.
Last Word
When researching other cities to visit in the USA, I will be sure to check the HPB site to see if they have a store in that city, or if on road trip I will see what HPB are on the way. I am not sure I can call a 20,000 square foot store a hidden gem, but HPB seems like a hidden gem to me.
I am not usually a big fan of chain store, but in the case of HPB I will make an exception. In both of the stores I visited, they seemed more like independent local stores than impersonal, cookie-cutter, big box stores.
I should also give thanks to car2go as without a car I doubt we would have ventured as far out of the City Centre as need to get to Half Price Books. Full Disclosure: car2go gave us free minutes to use while in Austin in return for tweeting about our adventures.

World Economic Forum: Can it help restore confidence?
The annual meeting of the World Economic Forum is underway in the Swiss resort of Davos with unprecedented security.
The Swiss authorities say any aircraft making unauthorised flights over Davos could be shot down.
A major part of the discussions at the forum will be how to restore confidence in the global economy.
The United States led war against terrorism could soon lead to military action in Iraq.
This could pose a further threat to an economic system already shaken by stock market falls, corporate scandals, and threatened by poor economic growth in many parts of the world.
How do you think confidence in the global economy can be restored? Has your trust in world business and political leaders been shaken?
This debate is now closed. Read a selection of your comments below.
Your reaction
Ron Brandenburg, the Netherlands
Lots of people here are whining about my government isn't doing this, the USA is the cause of everything bad in the world, capitalism is evil etc. Yet at the same time their houses are probably full of goods made by poorly paid workers in the rest of the world, they probably eat fish when cod is almost extinct, and they almost certainly drive around in cars polluting the atmosphere and causing global warming. Wake up to the fact that it is you, the consumer, that is controlling the global economy!
Pete, Canada
In addition to solving the developed world's problems, we need to foster a culture of personal responsibility with regard to the developing world. This culture is partially existent in the USA, with many people giving large charitable donations, but is very low-key in nanny-state countries, like the Eurozone ones, because people generally assume the government will look after overseas development. However, we need to improve the developed world economies so that people will be able to give out of abundance.
A world economic forum will only restore confidence in the global economy if it works for all the people of the globe and not under orders from and in the interests of the wealthy few. Honest representative governments are as rare in the industrialised world as they are in the currently excluded sidelined developing world. Davos is a junket and an insult to those who die right now from debt, Aids/HIV, hunger, and lack of the basics for living.
Robert Antony, England
I would like to say that I am as a Swiss American, proud and pleased that the Swiss are making an attempt; as conference host, to engender insightful discussion about these vitally important world issues. It is clear that it is something that is important because it is showing the world that for whatever opinion someone may have; at least it is promoting some useful discussion.
Given the nature of the concerns driving market downturn, we should look to confidence in the global economy being restored by changing the culture of corporate governance. Executives are being presented with the wrong incentives-large share options, large bonuses and golden parachutes all encourage unsustainable expansion to inflate the share price of their firm; this ultimately leads to the kind of problems (Enron, Worldcom) we are observing at the moment.
What an extraordinary thing it is to watch these groups meet for the 33rd time (or 34th) and still in the fanciest resorts and spouting the same meaningless phrases. There is no way humans will ever figure out how to correct the fact that many want to get wealthy by doing nothing and many others just want a decent job. The world is an oligarchical mess still talking about democracy, etc. etc. This stuff is boring and meaningless.
We are no better than puppets on a
string, held by corporate warlords
and their lackeys in political power.
How can one regain confidence to
bring economic stability, when leaders
of two major powers are bent on war.
Unless we change our attitude about
political compromise, we can't help
restore economic confidence.
Capitalism is like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Its ideals of liberty and free enterprise are all very well. Its realities are plain to see - extreme greed, rich getting richer, poor getting poorer, wildly swinging stock markets and commodity prices, economic instability, gross human and other exploitations, encouragement of consumerism and self indulgence, dependency on scarce resources, encouragement of debt at all levels. Is any of this making us any happier? I don't think so, but they keep pushing it don't they. This is called progress. Where exactly are we progressing to?
I think more attention should be given to the WORLD SOCIAL FORUM in Porto Alegre. It is looking for answers to the worlds biggests problems and not how to exploit people around the world in a PR friendly fashion
I would like to say that I, as a Swiss American, am proud and pleased that the Swiss are making an attempt; as conference host, to engender insightful discussion about these vitally important world issues. It is clear that it is something that is important because it is showing the world that it is promoting some useful discussion.
The important unasked question is how can we reconcile the illogic of production overcapacity and overconsumption for the few, and dire need and suffering for the many? That is the question that those gathered at Davos should be asking and answering, for it is the correct answers to this fundamental question that will give prosperity to the people of the world.
Get your facts straight before you spout off about the huge subsidies given to US Farmers. The only farms still in existence in the US are the large corporate farmers that are happily controlled (and given benefits) by the government. Before we worry about the rest of the world ( who seem to hate us but never minds the money we shell out) we should worry about our own economy, which is terrible.
The U economy grew with some 4.7% in the last quarter, this puts the annual growth rate at some 3.4%. That is not bad at all, and seeing that the US economy is the world's motor we should maybe not worry so much.
I understand the corruption issue, but beyond that I don't understand the argument against big business. Most become big because people willing buy their products and work for them. People aren't being marched by gunpoint into Wal-Mart anywhere in this world and told to buy something or to work there. People shop there and work there because they WANT to. I presume they figure they are better off with the jobs than without them.
Prasad Metta, Hyderabad, India
The economic model of the Global Economy is fundamentally flawed, and only a few people are not in denial about this. We need a system of zero growth which favours the people who actually do the work. Capitalism will surely fall, as the size and "resources" of the Earth are not infinite.
My trust in the global economy will be restored when it becomes morally and legally wrong for individuals and corporations to wield the power that comes from extreme wealth. Extreme concentrations of wealth skew the markets and even the most benevolent corporations end up making dangerous decisions. Retain space for ambition, yes, but let's have the markets do their job and get rid of the corporate equivalent of gang rule!
The problem with the global economy today is western hypocrisy and double standard. Both the EU and the US are seen to be the champions of free trade, yet at the same time they give massive subsidies to their own farmers and industries. This makes it very difficult for developing nations to compete and it means their people are constantly trapped in the poverty cycle.
I think my trust has increased since scandals have been made public due to the high vigilance given to this subject matter. Corporate scandals and bad economic times are at the forefront of the news, which makes it a lot tougher for illegal practices to slip by.
Victor, USA
Can confidence in the global economy be restored? I think this is Mission Impossible. Good luck in any case!
What global economy is being talked about? The Davos thing is but a PR action for those who still believe in a Marxist kind of progress. No businessman in his right senses will act against his own nature, and his nature is all about making profit. Any other impression can only be accounted for by the enormous boost of information and communication technologies we have witnessed over the past 20 years.
My trust in business leaders and multi-corporations is exactly the same now as it was two years ago. I trust them to be greedy, morally bankrupt and not to give a damn about anything other than their own salaries.
I loathe this nonsense about threat from terrorism equals current economic market slowdown. 81% of top fund decisions these days are done via computer models, which use fundamentals in the logistical decision making (risk threat from terror acts is very far down the list). However, when the fundamentals have corrected themselves by 2005 (corporate bank debt over exposure, over supply of manufacturing goods and services, external reliance on capital flows), the wars etc will sure make a good political fall back position (blame game). Any one remember 1992 ? I sure do.
Al Neaber, Leeds, UK
Socialists and nationalists would like to divide up the economic and political world into "good guys" and "bad guys". For them, "trust" is something that they sell to the public. So the question is really, "Do we want a world where we have to "trust" our "leaders"? Or do we want a world where our leaders have to earn our trust?
Pete, UK
Confidence in markets will only be fully restored when the threat from terrorists is virtually eliminated. How can people be expected to concentrate on business when they're worried about hijackings, mass murder, chemical and biological attacks, and nuclear fallout? Corporate scandals will always be with us. People pursuing money are prone to be greedy; no surprise there. Poor economic growth in some parts of the world can be alleviated by honest, representative governments helped by the industrialized nations.
To Chris from US:
I respect your point of view, but it seems you have bought into exactly what those who control the wealth want you to think. While you blame the nebulous threat of future terrorist action on our economic woes the rich simply count their money and prepare to consolidate their power even more.
In this age of globalization, disruption of the economy in any
part of the world (especially in leading, developed, industrial
nations) triggers serious reversals and ramifications in the
global, financial and economic systems. We saw the effects of
economic downturns a few years ago in Japan, Singapore and Malaysia, in other parts of the world, especially in the West. We are already seeing the effects of the Venezuelan crisis in the rising price of oil in the United States and the impact of economic turmoil in Brazil and Argentina on South America. So, a stable and growing world economy is vital for global growth, stability and prosperity.

Clinton aide Cheryl Mills got partial immunity in email investigation
The Justice Department has granted Cheryl Mills, a former chief of staff for Hillary Clinton, a limited immunity deal in the FBI's investigation into the use of the former secretary of state's private email server, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee said on Friday.
SEE ALSO: Cruz announces shocking political decision in post
Chafffetz told the Associated Press that Mills allowed the FBI to access her laptop in the agency's now-closed investigation into Clinton's use of the private email server on the condition that findings couldn't be used against her. Two other staffers, John Bentel, then-director of the State Department's Office of Information Resources Management, and Clinton aide Heather Samuelson were also offered limited immunity deals.
See Gallery
The FBI previously granted immunity to Bryan Pagliano, a tech expert who set up Clinton's email server, and Paul Combetta, a computer specialist.
"This is beyond explanation. The FBI was handing out immunity agreements like candy. I've lost confidence in this investigation and I question the genuine effort in which it was carried out. Immunity deals should not be a requirement for cooperating with the FBI," House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, said in a statement on Friday.
SEE ALSO: Athlete suspended for fiery comments about US protests
For roughly a year, the FBI examined whether Clinton sent or received classified information using the private server, which was not authorized for such messages. FBI Director James Comey said in July that his agents hadn't found evidence to support any criminal charge or direct evidence that Clinton's private server had been hacked.
Still, the political fallout has been ongoing.
Earlier this month, notes released by the FBI from their interview with Clinton about the matter revealed, among other things, revealed that she at times didn't understand of standards government officials, especially those with top security clearances must adhere to.
Re. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the House Oversight Committee's ranking Democrat, said "Republicans are trying to make political hay out of this." He stressed that Mills cooperated with the Justice Department.

I wanted to throw together a super quick journal with blank pages (much like this journal, but with blank pages) that could be used for throwing in a purse, taking along, and using for sketches. I decided to use a vintage sheet (and a vintage button), lined with white fabric for a cover, a button and tie closure, and blank recycled paper pages. This seriously took me about a half hour start to finish (including cutting and pressing the fabric). So it's super quick (read: done during naptime :)). *I am having some camera lens issues right now, some of the images are not the best - my apologies ;)
+ 9"x12" piece of vintage sheet fabric (or any fabric)
+ 9"x12" piece of white fabric
+ large button
+ 7" piece of decorative ribbon
+ 10 sheets blank recycled computer paper
+ needle and thread
+ sewing machine, scissors (for trimming)
+ butterfly document clips (to hold pages in place while sewing, not pictured)

Context. By means of different physical mechanisms, the expansion of HII regions can promote the formation of new stars of all masses. RCW 120 is a nearby Galactic HII region where triggered star formation occurs. This region is well-studied – there being a wealth of existing data – and is nearby. However, it is surrounded by dense regions for which far infrared data is essential to obtain an unbiased view of the star formation process and in particular to establish whether very young protostars are present.
Aims. We attempt to identify all young stellar objects (YSOs), especially those previously undetected at shorter wavelengths, to derive their physical properties and obtain insight into the star formation history in this region.
Methods. We use Herschel-PACS and -SPIRE images to determine the distribution of YSOs observed in the field. We use a spectral energy distribution fitting tool to derive the YSOs physical properties.
Results. Herschel-PACS and -SPIRE images confirm the existence of a young source and allow us to determine its nature as a high-mass (8-10 M⊙) Class 0 object (whose emission is dominated by a massive envelope Menv ≃ 103 M⊙) towards the massive condensation 1 observed at (sub)-millimeter wavelengths. This source was not detected at 24 μm and only barely seen in the MISPGAL 70 μm data. Several other red sources are detected at Herschel wavelengths and coincide with the peaks of the millimeter condensations. SED fitting results for the brightest Herschel sources indicate that, apart from the massive Class 0 that forms in condensation 1, low mass (0.8-4 M⊙) stars are forming around RCW 120 with ages younger than 5 x 104 years. This indicates that YSOs observed on the borders of RCW 120 are younger than its ionizing star, which has an age of about 2.5 Myr.
Conclusions. Herschel images allow us to detect new YSOs that are too young and embedded to be detected at shorter wavelengths (25 of the 49 Herschel sources are new detections). This offers a new and more complete view of the star formation in this region. PACS and SPIRE fluxes were obtained for the brightest YSOs and allow us to strongly constrain both their spectral energy distribution and their physical properties through SED fitting. A more accurate determination of their properties allows us, for the first time, to discuss the star formation history in this region by comparing similar sources at different evolutionary stages.

Welcome to my Website! If you're looking for chronic pain and stress relief from an experienced, highly-trained, professional massge therapist you've come to the right place.
Are you suffering from migraine headaches, chronic neck, shoulder, arm, low back, pelvic region, knee, or foot pain? Have you been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and/or chronic fatigue syndrome and are not satisfied with the results that you're getting from you current healthcare practitioner(s)? Have you received massages from spa-oriented therapists and found that type of massage to be inadequate for long-term pain relief? If any of this applies to you then you should consider receiving a series of treatments from a highly-skilled and experienced Neuromuscular Massage Therapist, such as myself.
Neuromuscular Therapy is designed to bring balance between the body's whole musculo-skeletal and nervous systems. When combined with a proper diet and exercise, it can bring life-changing pain relief. I know how to bring the entire musculo-skeletal system into proper balance with the nervous system. I know how to access and "re-educate" the deepest layers of muscles with a science-based approach that doesn't make the client feel like they've been brutalized!
I've been a practicing Massage Therapist in the Atlanta area since 1987. I was a Neuromuscular Therapy Instructor at the ASHA School of Massage from 1999-2013. I regularly alleviate many severe chronic pain-related issues such as migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, sciatica, carpal-tunnel syndrome, and whiplash.

For what is now the fourth straight year (I do believe it's the fourth straight year), I was able to partake in the experience known as the Dance Africa Festival. For me, the unofficial summer begins with this event. It's always great to see DJs spin classic tunes, folks dancing to said music or to beat of the African drums, people supporting Black businesses, see photographers of color and look at the sea of melanin!
Normally I go on Saturday and Sunday to the festival, but this year I only attended on Sunday as I was documenting an awesome wedding on Saturday. (Thank you Ms. Kaola for the opportunity to photograph the union of your daughter and your new son!) I think this time I didn't photograph as much because I did spend some of the event either eating or dancing. Eating is a usual for me, but dancing... Yeah, I'm breaking out of my shell a little bit. Lol. But do enjoy some of the sights that my camera was able to pick up!
So yeah, there was also an attempt to record video of the day's events with a GoPro... Wouldn't you know it, those things need to be charged before leaving the house. Lol. Definitely for CurlFest I'll have both camera and GoPro handy. Also, if anyone knows of any events similar to the Dance Africa festival, CurlFest, Essence Block Party, etc., do let a brother know!

What Are You Listening To?: My Five Favorite Podcasts
I'm admittedly pretty late to the podcast scene (just as late to audio books), but now that I'm aboard the bandwagon, wasssssup? What do you listen to? Let's chat. No, really, what do you listen to? I've been obsessively subscribing to a ton of podcasts on iTunes and it has been my favorite way to pass the time on my dreaded commute.
Without further ado, here's what's in my queue:
1. Stuff Mom Never Told You
Hosted by Cristen Conger and Caroline Ervin, Stuff Mom Never Told You is the audio podcast from HowStuffWorks that gets down to the business of being women from every imaginable angle.
This is hands down one of my favorites. From the issue of colorism and racism to dissecting the ins and outs of fashion blogging as a business, Cristen and Caroline pretty much nail this podcast and offer such a refreshing feministic view of the issues (and non-issues) of our everyday lives.
2. Dear Sugar Radio
The cult-favorite advice column is back, this time speaking straight to your ears. The Sugars, Cheryl Strayed and Steve Almond, take on all your questions - no matter how deep or dark - and offer radical empathy in return.
Another favorite. This one is seriously no holds barred. "The Sugars" (first and last time I will refer to them as such because it's just weird) cover everything -- whether applicable to you or someone you know, or something that you've thought about but wouldn't actually say out loud.
3. Divulge
DIVULGE is not your mama's podcast. It's not for bae either. It's for you, black women. Raw, real and unapologetically melanin motivated, JD and Moy Moy speak truths on the issues that real world women deal with everyday, but sometime never speak on. But this isn't where you go and cry about it, it's where you come to be real and be free.
Okay, I'm might be a little biased because this one is produced by two of my very best friends, BUT it's worth your listen. Divulge is relatively new, but in its 3 episodes, it dives deep into the topics that all of us gossip about that tie directly into the arsenal of screenshots in our camera roll and group chats. And after a few shots, nothing is off the discussion table for these two.
4. Hashtags and Stilettos
The Hashtags + Stilettos podcast is like having your own personal publicist in your pocket. Tune in for business, lifestyle and PR insights and interviews from entrepreneur and PR expert Sakita Holley.
This is one of the more inspirational podcasts in my queue. I am drawn to all of the Girl Bossdom that Sakita weaves into her episodes. Two of my absolute favorites are her interview with Necole Kane (the blogger formerly behind Necole Bitchie) and Mattie James of Mattieology. From making what you love profitable to the risks and rewards of that come with owning a business, this one will inspire you to get off your ass and make shit happen.
5. Bitch Media
Bitch Media is a feminist response to pop culture, home to whip-smart writers, artists, and activists who analyze popular media with an eye on gender, race, class and sexuality. Popaganda is a 45-minute in-depth exploration of themes ranging from standup comedy to sex work and Backtalk is our quick, fun conversation about the week in pop culture.
I've only listened to a couple of these episodes, but this will give you your daily dose of feministic, liberally-charged content that's for sure. The description explains better than I could ever, but do listen.
Others on my radar include: Another Round, Call Your Girlfriend, Black Girls Talking, This American Life (I know, I'm late), Fresh Air, Wear Your Dreams, and Stuff You Should Know.
I'm obviously super into all of the girl power that is being spewed all over the interwebs. I cannot get enough. I toggle back and forth between feeling so incredibly inspired to wondering what the hell I'm doing with my life back to being incredibly inspired and thankful that a lot of these women normalize the feeling of what the hell am I doing with my life. It's awesome and I am so here for all of it. So, what are some of your favorites? Let me know in the comments!

MILWAUKIE, Ore. -- An intruder in Milwaukie tried to break into a home after he had already walked into two other apartments and had a gun pulled on him Friday night.
The man was captured on surveillance video walking up to a home and looking through a window at children playing with their babysitter. The man is then seen trying to open the door and get inside. When he discovers the door is locked, he takes off.
Before trying to get in the home, the man had reportedly walked in two other apartments. In one, he followed Crystal McKinney upstairs and inside. She knew something wasn't right. "I backed up and I said 'What are you doing?'" McKinney said. "He said, 'Do you want to meet God?' I went to my room and got my gun. I said get out or I will shoot you."
All you bloodthirsty sorts might find this opinion unpopular, but, the whole point of defense is to STAY ALIVE. So long as that's accomplished, it's a good day.
reply to post by gladtobehere
it looks bogus to me.
just my 2c worth, sorry
I think the lady did the right thing.
Why no bang bang?
Well, IF she did happen to fire on this guy, IN an APARTMENT COMPLEX, the news could have read:
Woman kills intruder, and stray bullet hits child in adjacent apartment.
I'm completely in favor of self defense through force of arms.
Time and place, however, is something to be considered in choosing your defensive arsenal.
Live in an apartment complex?
Well, those walls aren't exactly too thick, and feel free to set up some sheetrock panels at the range, or wherever you shoot to see how much penetration you get.
For an apartment complex, I'd think a shotgun with rock salt, bean bag, or any other alternative that is NOT going to pose a threat to neighbors would be the best bet.
All you bloodthirsty sorts might find this opinion unpopular, but, the whole point of defense is to STAY ALIVE. So long as that's accomplished, it's a good day.
edit on 11/19/2013 by AliceBleachWhite because: (no reason given)
If your gonna own a gun for home defense you need to...let me repeat NEED TO be proficient with said gun. You should be at the range at least once a month for at least 50-100rnds. Shooting is a perishable skill and must be maintained. So as nice as all these shotgun rounds are and the likes are cool...not everyone is going to be able to do that. Hell I don't even own a shot gun anymore, but I do go shoot 50rnds bi-weekly and can say without a doubt I can hit a person sized target at the max distance they could possibly be in my apt. without worry. It comes down to responsibility and if you own a gun it's your responsibility to actually be able to properly use/aim it. If you can't do that maybe you should look into a baseball bat or taser.
she should've busted a cap in his a@@, on his way out the door. i would've.
reply to post by hounddoghowlie
So you'd have shot a man in the back? How brave and heroic of you...
she should've busted a cap in his a@@, on his way out the door. i would've.
i find it alarming how many are saying she should have shot him.
He turned and walked out. Job done.
Was it not good that she didnt have to shoot him? She could have killed him.
A pointless waste of life it would have been.
Now if he went to attack her it would be a different story, but he didnt.
He walked away.....
I see you point, but if you could, consider the situation from the angle that we still have a dangerous nutjob who tried to break into other's peoples houses, still on the lose and perhaps next time he'll get into that house where the kids were playing with their babysitter and the girl won't have access to a gun to defend herself. The next story may not end so happily.
reply to post by gladtobehere
Please leave the one-liners to Tater Salad. And this brings to mind the girl who was killed because she believed in God. Kinda the exact opposite of this case, but the guy asked her and she said yes. There's a book about it. "She Said Yes".
So you'd have shot a man in the back? How brave and heroic of you... Text

Sept. 20th, Emma Watson, the UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, addressed the United Nations at their headquarters in New York regarding gender equality. Her speech focused on unifying the world in the gender equality movement but did not offer specific solutions for achieving that equality.
She began by reminding everyone that feminism is not "man hating;" rather it is the belief that women and men should have the same social, political, and economic rights and opportunities. She also pointed out some of the ways sexism has negatively affected men, from devaluing the father figure to mocking males who express emotion. She admitted that she is grateful for her privileged life, but called for action to end child marriage, equalize pay for the same work between men and women, and make secondary education available to all girls. In doing so, she announced the launch of a UN initiative called HeForShe.
After I was done applauding how Watson chose to use her fame as a platform to promote social justice, I noticed that she was very ambiguous in some of her terms. She said that both sexes should be able to exude both strength and sensitivity, leading into her statement that gender should be viewed as a spectrum, not as a set of opposing ideals. However, she neither specified the poles of this spectrum nor whether it allowed for transgender identity. What really caught my attention was her assertion that she should have the right to "make decisions about [her] own body." Proponents of the Pro Choice movement often use this language, so I paid careful attention to what she said next. Instead of endorsing a woman's right to abortion, Watson moved on to other issues and left her comment open to interpretation. Because feminism is such a controversial topic, it makes sense that Watson was careful to use language that would not alienate more conservative crowds. Instead of taking a stance on hot-button issues like LGBTQ concerns and abortion, she chose to reach a larger audience by avoiding them altogether.
Thus she did not alienate liberals by opposing these issues nor alienate conservatives by supporting them. The way she quickly sought to "de-radicalize" feminism early in her speech by defining it as the belief in equal rights for men and women showed that she was seeking to include a new group of people who have traditionally been scared off from feminism because of its perceived extremism. Throughout her speech, Watson made it clear that change is necessary to achieve gender equality, but she avoided more controversial topics to appeal to as many people as possible.
Watson's efforts, in her ambiguity, to cater to a broader population make sense given the ambitious goal of HeForShe: "to mobilize one billion men by July 2015 to help communities around the world develop sustainable and transformative programs to promote gender equality." In much the same way that Watson's speech was open to interpretation, the HeForShe movement itself lacks specific plans for ending gender inequality. I visited their website, and the main feature is a button for men to click, affirming that "Gender equality is not only a women's issue, it is a human rights issue that requires my participation. I commit to take action against all forms of violence and discrimination faced by women and girls." Under the website's "donate" tab, I found that, if you donate money, it goes to unspecified UN Women programs, and the suggestions for taking action merely amount to saying "just do something."
Unfortunately, I believe that a lack of a defined, practical plan of implementation weakens the HeForShe movement and this weakness becomes evident by looking at the movement's lack of support. The year long campaign is about halfway over, and so far only 206,000 men have gone online to support HeForShe. That's not even one fortieth of one percent of their goal. Granted, it seems ridiculous to expect one billion people to unite behind anything, which makes me wonder why they even set such an outrageous goal.
HeForShe seems much more concerned about raising awareness than getting people involved with specific initiatives. Raising awareness is absolutely necessary in the fight for gender equality, and there certainly is merit in letting people choose their own charity or action plans. Individual involvement at the local level is undeniably key for overcoming gender equality, and no one is better equipped for knowing how to best address the problems of a particular area than the people who live there. If you've ever taken a Community Development class, you'll know how dangerous it is for an organization to promote a cure-all program that does not take into account the differences of individual cultures.
As important as this grassroots approach is, though, the UN is in a unique position of being able to speak to almost 200 nations as a relatively unified whole. They seem to have missed an opportunity by just asking men to click a button and come up with something to do. There are no teeth to this movement enabling it to bite a chunk out of gender inequality. Additionally, although Emma Watson's speech did a good job pointing out how gender biases have harmed men as well as women, this conversation does not seem to be a part of the HeForShe movement, according to their website. This is an essential part of feminism that I believe is critical to the continuation of the movement that seeks the welfare of all people both practically as well as rhetorically.
HeForShe might be useful in introducing a new audience to the fight for gender equality, but does not offer practical steps for walking down that path. So the question remains: How should I respond? I hope to address how the issue of gender equality fits into the Covenant community next week.

Because we weren't born into a helpful healthy culture, we have to build our own. That's my job as a health and wellness coach--I help you Pick Your Own Adventure. I teach you to develop your own rules to reaching your health and weight goals.
Riding the Bus
When I was in the first grade, my family moved to a ranch. To say we lived in the country was an understatement. Our closest neighbor was 2 miles away. Every morning we'd drive 5 miles on a gravel road to get to the bus stop. We rode the bus for an hour and a half to get to school.
Believe it or not, I loved it.
My best friend was already on the bus when I got on. My bus driver would bring boxes of Archie comic books for us to read and would narrate the drive like a tour director. And the drive—we drove along the river through the redwood trees on a road called Avenue of the Giants. The view outside our window was out of a fairytale.
To pass the time, we'd sing camp songs, talk, play tic-tac-toe on the frosted windows, and read. My favorite books at the time was the Choose your Own Adventure series. I read scores of those.
Have you ever read one?
The book starts out with a situation like being stranded on the moon of another planet or being mixed up in an old time western bank heist.
You start out with the situation, you make a choice and then you turn to page 45 to see what happens. You read for a while more, make another choice, and turn to page 132.
Sometimes you die and that was very sad, so you'd have to go back and try another scenario. In fact, I think the ratio is about 10 ways to die for every happy ending.
Those books are scary and suspenseful. My daughter read one in third grade where she was kidnapped by the Mafia, and her dead body ended up floating down the river!
But, the cool thing about the Choose your Own Adventure book was that you could always go back and try another ending.
Choose Your Own Culture
One day while coaching a weight loss client, an insight hit me like a lightning bolt.
In America when it comes to our health and weight, we need to Choose Our Own Adventure. We don't really have a food culture or a set of rules around food like other countries do. We are in a country where anything goes.
Countries such as France and Japan are famous for having "rules" built into their culture that help their citizens to be thin and healthier.
In France their "rules" include eating small portions of high quality foods, eating slowly, enjoying each bite, not snacking between meals, and walking quite a bit.
The Japanese have similar cultural "rules" such as eat slowly, eat small portions of fresh fish, vegetables, soup, and rice, present the food artfully, walk and ride bikes a lot, and eat only to 80% full.
In America we seem to have lost our food culture wisdom. Our moms and grandmas had rules like "no eating between meals," "sit down and eat at the dinner table with the family," "go play outside and come home at dinner time," or a thousand other versions of food and activity wisdom.
But times change and so have our customs. Now we get to choose what we eat, when we eat it, how much we eat, how we move our bodies and when.
To make it even more difficult, we hear hundreds of competing opinions. Experts battle it out about which diet will make you slim or which new exercise will make you toned. Is it Atkins, Paleo, Vegan, or Weight Watchers? Is it Yoga, Barre, Cross Fit, or running a marathon? It's confusing and overwhelming. There are a million choices.
This is the Whole Point
And that's my whole aim with my weight loss coaching clients and now on this blog. I help you "Pick Your Own Adventure."
What does it mean to build your own health culture? You need to identify and build food and activity habits into your life that will help you reach your goals.
It might seem overwhelming and you might not know where to start, but I'll guide you through the process. I help you to know what choices actually matter, and give you suggestions to try.
You may find after some experimentation that what works for you are habits like eat eggs for breakfast (they keep you full), use a small plate (helps you to eat smaller portions), eat dessert once a week (lets you indulge, but not too much), and get 10,000 steps a day (keeps you active).
On the other hand, your husband might find the key to maintaining his weight is to eat slowly, bring lunch to work, eat nuts as a snack, lift weights three times a week, take a walk around the office every two hours, and eat ¼ cup of ice cream a night.
Each person has a different formula.
That's what I mean, you get to "Pick Your Own Adventure."
So what will your own adventure hold? What "rules" will you make? What foods will you eat and when? What kind of activity will you do daily or weekly?
Like in the Choose your Own Adventure book The Lost Jewels of Nabooti, you don't have to get it right on the first try. You can go back and try for a new ending.
And you probably won't get it right the first time.
Like in the books, the odds are stacked against you. Nowadays there are extremely tasty foods that hijack the pleasure centers of your brain, there is Netflix that urges you to watch just one more episode, and there are fast food restaurants on every corner.
But, I can help you learn from your ill-fated attempts and help you know which options to try, and how to try them. I will help you "Pick Your Own Adventure" until you get the happy, healthy ending you were hoping for.
Until next time,
get the Guide to Losing Weight without Dieting!
What are the secrets of the most successful losers? After coaching hundreds of people, I found these 15 habits and mind shifts in my clients who lose weight and keep it off. Now I'm sharing the guide to losing weight without dieting with you. Get the guide here...
I'm a dietitian, personal trainer, and health coach who started asking all the tough health and weight loss questions-- like how do we get more willpower, why can't we stay motivated, and why is getting healthy and losing weight so tough?
I discovered that the answer to all these questions is simply--Your Brain.
I help you stop the health and weight loss struggles by understanding your brain and then working with it—instead of against it. Then, I teach you how to put your personalized healthy habits on autopilot for results that last.
I believe that you deserve the health and energy to live your best life.

Vitamin D + Autism
And this from the Vitamin D Council...very interesting indeed!
The theory that vitamin D deficiency, during pregnancy or childhood, causes autism is just a theory. However, the theory has a plausible mechanism of action, explains all the unexplained facts about autism, subsumes several other theories, implies simple prevention, and is easily disprovable—all components of a useful theory.
A genetic lesion (abnormality) in some component of the vitamin D system—a lesion vitamin D's unique pharmacology could overcome—would explain why monozygotic (identical) twins are highly affected while fraternal twins are not. Varying brain levels of activated vitamin D during later life would explain why some identical twins get severe disease while others are barely affected.
Falling vitamin D levels over the last 20 years due to sun avoidance explain autism's rapid increase in incidence during that same time. The very different effects estrogen and testosterone have on vitamin D metabolism may explain why boys are much more likely to get it than girls are. Lower vitamin D levels in black individuals may explain their higher rates of autism. The vitamin D theory has tenable explanations for all the epidemiological features of autism.

This trip is to a city that I'm dying to visit. Beautiful Paris, France! My friend Kat is currently studying abroad in Canterbury, England and that lucky duck is traveling all around Europe... as smart girls should! Out of all the places she's visited, and like many before her, she fell in love with Paris. After you see her pics I'm sure you'll be a little in love with Paris too.
Lest you think I acquired some new skills, let me assure you that Kat did the photo editing on this series.
Thanks for taking us with you on such a lovely trip Kat! It's so awesome of you to have stepped up to the challenge to leave the familiar behind and study abroad. It is a scary and wonderful experience but you've made it through a challenging year and I couldn't be prouder of you!

Looking for the right case for your Android smartphone is not always as easy as it should be, especially when shopping online. Getting to feel a case and seeing how it fits on your device is always an advantage when buying cases at a local store, so we'll be taking an in-depth look at the Seidio ACTIVE case for the Motorola Atrix 4G and how it holds up in terms of protection, functionality and overall comfort.
The Atrix 4G ACTIVE case offers a great level of protection with its dual-layer design consisting of a dust-proof skin case surrounded by a 6-pronged exoskeleton that covers the impact points of the Atrix 4G. Since there's no clip attached to the ACTIVE case, it's actually relatively thin for the amount of protection it offers. At only 2.2mm for the overall thickness, you can handle your device with this case on and not feel like you've just turned your sleek Motorola Atrix into a brick.
While the ACTIVE case does cover majority of the Atrix, the screen is left exposed for full functionality-- which personally works better for me because even if you drop your device, the skin and exoskeleton is raised around the edges preventing your screen from hitting face-first.
You'll find that there are cutouts for all the appropriate ports and buttons on the Atrix 4G including the speaker, camera and flash, headphone jack, micro-USB port, micro-HDMI port and fingerprint scanner. The volume rocker is covered, but is raised on the skin allowing for easy adjustment of sound levels.
In terms of comfort, the ACTIVE case feels really nice in the hand. I'm not a huge fan of skin cases of any sort, but Seidio outdid themselves with this line. The non-slip soft touch coating on the exoskeleton makes me feel much safer handling the Atrix compared to utilizing the device without any protection at all. In addition, it sets my mind at ease knowing that if i drop my phone-- this bad boy will certainly protect it from any angle.
One thing I wasn't too ecstatic about was how easily the exoskeleton picks up fingerprints and smudges. Although it's not a huge deal, I'm pretty picky when it comes to keeping my Atrix 4G clean and free of oily fingerprints with or without a case on it. So that's just some food for thought. Now seeing as how this is one-half skin case, you may wonder how well this thing slips in and out of your pocket. And the answer to that is-- pretty darn easy. If you face the screen outwards so the exoskeleton slides against your leg, you won't have to fight yourself trying to get to your phone.
The Seidio ACTIVE case for the Motorola Atrix 4G comes in black, sapphire blue, burgundy and amethyst. If you're in need of a holster to clip on to your belt, there's even an ACTIVE Case Holster available to accomodate the larger fit of the Atrix with this case on.
Check out some additional shots of the Seidio ACTIVE case below.

Menswear Monday: The Summer Uniform Part 1/
For those of us in warm (or even tropical) climates, the rising mercury presents guys with a challenge. After a fall whose fashion hallmarks were heavy flannels and military-rugged outerwear, what can you do in the spring that won't reduce you to a puddle of sweat and style. For the next six weeks, we'll look at essential warm-weather pieces and how to wear them. Week 1:
The Slim Khakis
Look, khakis will never be really, really cool. Despite the many cool guys who've worn them well (Newman, McQueen), they'll always be synonymous with pleated Dockers for guys our age. They're your dad's pants, just like relaxed fit Levi's. But look again at the basics of what khakis are: lightweight, durable, neutral-colored cotton pants that look best when a little rumpled, not pressed.
That works for the summer, doesn't it?
Now, since you're not going to wear your dad's Dockers, what about the new Dockers? The venerable office-wear pants got an update last year, with new cuts and colors. Check out the D-1 slim fit, or if you're rolling, the K-1, a note-perfect reproduction of military uniform khakis like your grandfather wore, with higher quality fabric and fabrication.
Beyond the hallmark brand, J. Crew, Save Khaki, and Club Monaco all have plain-front, narrow (but not skinny) leg khakis in a variety of colors. Match it up with simple shoes lik Sperry Top-Siders, slip-on Vans, or some colorful Zuriicks, and one of the shirts we'll discuss later, and you've got a perfect slumming on Saturday outfit that can drag into drinks and dinner in the evening without needing to change.
Next week: the only t-shirt you'll ever need. Really.

The year is half over. Six months from today will be January 3, 2017. You will have survived the holidays, a few disappointments and hopefully a few wins. That's all you know for sure.
How about spending the summer letting yourself fall in love with your art again? You sacrifice a lot to practice your art. I know that it's a calling. It's something you have to do. It's even saved your life. But still, you give it your life.
Maybe it's time to love it a little, to become dizzy with the passion for what you've surrendered your life to. And what a better time than this? When the berries are falling off the vine, the days are long, the grass is still green. Summer is the season of love.
Some ideas for how to love your art more:
- Visit a book store and smell the books. Buy one you love because it feels good to hold.
- Subscribe to a season of talks, plays, concerts. Make a regular commitment to enriching yourself with art.
- Write a poem, attend an open mike and read it aloud to strangers.
- If you're a writer, read Charles Baxter's Burning Down the House.
- If you're an artist, read or re-read Robert Henri's The Art Spirit.
- If you grew up with a narcissist parent, read Eleanor Payson's The Wizard of OZ and other Narcissists.
- Subscribe to a magazine about your art or the business of art.
- Buy yourself a new palette knife or some new tool you've been yearning to try.
- Get up one hour earlier this month to write or paint while the world is still quiet.
- Be honest about your addiction to email and social media. If you're checking it first and last thing, it's probably not helping you become the artist you know you can be.
Fall in love with your art this summer. And it will love you back.

Image via WikipediaInternational media is getting more vocal on the risks involved in the recent crisis developing in the Middle East.
Barclays Capital said 1m b/d of Libyan output is "shut in", with the other 0.6m at risk. While Saudi Arabia can step in by raising output, this takes time and its oil is not a substitute for Libya's "sweet crude".
Some analysts fear the underlying picture is worse that officially recognised, doubting Saudi claims of ample spare capacity. A Wikileaks cable cited comments by a geologist for the Saudi oil giant Aramco that the kingdom's reserves had been overstated by 40pc. A second cable cited US diplomats asking whether the Saudis "any longer have the power to drive prices down for a prolonged period".
Jeremy Leggett, a leader of the UK industry task force on peak oil and energy security, said the Mid-East crisis "shows the extreme fragility of the global system. People don't realise how close we are to a potential precipice if this unrest reaches critical mass in enough OPEC countries. Governments need to draw up emergency plans and get cracking on proactive measures while we still have time," he said.
Nomura said a shut-down in both Libya and Algeria would cut global supply by 2.9m b/d and reduce OPEC spare capacity to 2.1m b/d, comparable with levels at the onset of the Gulf War and worse than during the 2008 spike, when prices hit $147.
Charles Robertson at Renaissance Capital said the real concern nagging investors is what will happen in Saudi Arabia's oil-rich Eastern Province, the home of the kingdom's restless Shi'ite minority. The Saudis produce 11.6pc of world output, but a much higher share of exports.

You might have heard the terms 'personalized search' or 'social search' buzzing about this past year. Google, and even Bing, have made substantial steps toward using social media to make search results more personalized.
This past month Google has made another step in that direction by allowing hashtags in their search engine. Now when a user searches a hashtag like #throwbackthursday, in addition to the regular search result a scrolling column will appear on the right side of the screen displaying the latest Google+ posts with that hashtag.
The Addition of Hashtags
The growth of Google+ has been slow in coming. As Google continues to incorporate their social network with their search engine and Gmail, users will be forced to hop on the bandwagon. Companies especially have found Google+ to be a necessity for effective local rankings and SEO.
Hashtags, a social must-have, have been around for years and were originally introduced through the social media platform, Twitter. The success of hashtags forced other social networks to utilize the same system to assist people with finding information through their databases. Tumblr, Instagram, Vine and Facebook all heavily utilize the hashtag system to help users find informative posts and photos that fit within specific hashtags.
Utilizing Hashtags on Google
Hashtags on Google+ go a step further than on other social media platforms. When someone hashtags a post or picture that they post on Google+, the hashtag is stored within the system. Placing "#hashtag" in the Google search, Google+ content will pop up that has been placed with "#hashtag" in it. Users will see hashtagged newsfeed information that is public and those that are shared to them privately.
For users who are a part of large circles, including large work circles, hashtagging will be vital. If you know that certain hashtags will be utilized for specific matters, inform workers and other members of the circle ahead of time. This system can be a great way of communication so they can see which content posted within the Google+ circle will better fit them.
Keep in mind that hashtagged posts only have a lifespan on Google for around 24 hours. For example, if I post a quote on Google+ on Monday with #motivationmonday, on Tuesday it will no longer be brought up on Google's search engine. If there are no recent posts for that hashtag, Google won't even show the hashtag widget.
Will This Be Good For Marketing Pros?
Yes. Both marketers and SEOs will benefit greatly from Google+ and this new hashtag search IF it catches on.
Google+ gives marketers an insight on what to expect from specific hashtagged news and content. Seeing what is trending makes it easier to market content more clearly and directly. This also holds true for writers and bloggers – giving way to a more beneficial system.
Another valuable aspect of hashtags in search is the chance for smaller companies to get seen on page 1 without having to pay for PPC. Depending on the popularity of hashtags in search, companies can use trending and relevant hashtags to bring their posts to the user on the first page.
Marketers should continue to incorporate hashtags in campaigns so it becomes easier for the potential consumer to find information about the company or campaign on Google.
Hashtagging can be rather tedious, but once users have the gist of the new system, it will be easier to utilize it to their advantage.
