EFT is a simple, powerful process that can profoundly influence gene activity, Health and behavior. - Bruce Lipton PhD author of THE BIOLOGY OF BELIEF
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a simple yet powerful technique that re-balances the energies of the body, releasing painful and unwanted emotions connected to our past, present or future. The technique was developed by Gary Craig, In essence, it is a psychological version of acupuncture. While in acupuncture we use needles, in EFT there is no use of needles. EFT is designed to directly access the body's energy system by tapping on and into the nervous system, where trauma is held on a cellular level. Working with energy and consciousness in this way enables deep levels of healing to take place very quickly.
The body's energy system is stimulated and balanced by tapping with fingertips on a specific combination of 14 major meridian points. Meridians are energetic pathways within the body that relay information to the entire system, including the mind. They are interlinked with each other in a continuing energy loop. Traumatic memories and thoughts cause energetic disturbances within the body. Such disturbances are experienced as negative emotion that can limit our functioning, creativity and potential. By removing a blockage from one meridian, the entire circuit automatically clears.
EFT is not about denying, repressing or disassociating from your feelings. It will not mask important symptoms that require medical attention nor will it suppress illness to a deeper level. While focusing on the disturbing feeling or traumatic issue, you are guided to gently tap a specific sequence of meridian points on your body, using your fingertips. These points are connected to your nervous system where all traumas are held... in the cells. With this process, it is not necessary to re-live or re-experience traumatic events.
Typically, the session ends with resolution and most importantly, a neutral emotional response when thought is given to the chosen issue. This tapping technique can be self administered whenever and wherever the need arises. It is very easy to learn and once grasped, it rarely takes more than a few minutes to carry out.
By analogy, think of the meridians as rivers. Upsets in emotional or physical health lead to the equivalent of blockages or overflows in the rivers EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a simple yet remarkable healing system that reduces the stress that underlies much disease. It has proven itself successful in many scientific studies. It works on a variety of health issues, psychological problems, and performance issues, even those that have been resistant to other methods. It can be learned and applied rapidly, which has contributed to its popularity among millions of people.
One of the EFT practitioners put it very nicely thus:
"Some day the medical profession will wake up and realize that unresolved emotional issues are the main cause of 85% of all illnesses. When they do, EFT will be one of their primary healing tools.... as it is for me."
There are two basic areas to learn EFT
The basic EFT sequence is straight forward and generally takes few minutes to learn. With practice one will be able to perform each round in under a minute. There are number of acupuncture meridians on our fingertips. When we are tapping with fingertips, we are not only tapping on the meridians but also on the points in the fingertips. Traditionally we tap with one hand and with two fingers but we can come out with different creative ways. On each point we can tap 6-7times.And always be connected with the breath.
This unique combination helps you shift your physical and emotional energy in the direction of relief… towards feeling really good
Starting in the 1960's and 70's with George Goodheart and John Diamond and further refined in the 80's and 90's by Roger Callahan, Patricia Carrington, Gary Craig, Fred Gallo, Donna Eden, Carol Look, and many others, the benefits of tapping on the meridian acupoints has been extensively documented. Experience shows that tapping can shift our beliefs and thoughts quickly and with much less pain than conventional therapies.
There are lots of theories on how and why it works, but no one can say for sure. (We just see the positive results.) Scientific studies do show that the electrical resistance in the skin at the meridian acupoints is much lower than the rest of the body. Brain wave studies show energy tapping affects the deep subconscious.
However it works. Tapping seems to activate our body's innate self-healing intelligence and allows us to transform our lives. Case histories abound showing astounding changes in anxieties, fears, and phobias. Hundreds of thousands of people use it to improve their relationships, their ability to work, and how much they enjoy life.
Some people report "one minute miracles" where long lasting changes occur in minutes. Astonishingly rapid, permanent relief has "sold" many people on using Tapping for themselves and with others. There are thousands of cases of quick, permanent relief for phobias, physical pains, and more… all using Energy Tapping (EFT). These have been recorded and could be found in many websites dealing with EFT.
"To discover your own authentic strengths and develop them, so that they are strong and resilient… to be able to see life from new, more empowering perspectives… to love and co-create within healthy relationships" - To us, that's true emotional freedom. And it is what Tapping is really perfectly suited to help you achieve.

Obesity in Children
WebMD shared that one-third of children in the U. S. are overweight or obese, and this number is continuing to rise. Children have fewer weight-related health and medical problems than adults. However, overweight children are at high risk of becoming overweight adolescents and adults, placing them at risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes later in life. They are also more prone to develop stress, sadness, and low self-esteem.
What Causes Obesity in Children?
Children become overweight and obese for a variety of reasons. The most common causes are genetic factors, lack of physical activity, unhealthy eating patterns, or a combination of these factors. Only in rare cases is being overweight caused by a medical condition such as a hormonal problem. A physical exam and some blood tests can rule out the possibility of a medical condition as the cause of obesity.
Although weight problems run in families, not all children with a family history of obesity will be overweight. Children whose parents or brothers or sisters are overweight may be at an increased risk of becoming overweight themselves, but this can be linked to shared family behaviors such as eating and activity habits.
A child's total diet and activity level play an important role in determining a child's weight. Today, many children spend a lot of time being inactive. For example, the average child spends approximately four hours each day watching television. As computers and video games become increasingly popular, the number of hours of inactivity may increase.
What Diseases Are Obese Children at Risk For?
Obese children are at risk for a number of conditions, including:
- High cholesterol
- High blood pressure
- Early heart disease
- Diabetes
- Bone problems
- Skin conditions such as heat rash, fungal infections, and acne

José Mourinho's long anticipated return to the Premier League was preceded by a rare visit from Roman Abramovich to the home dressing room to address the players as Chelsea presented a united front after all the discord and rancour of last season.
The Portuguese manager received a rapturous reception from the home support and duly saw his team ease to a comfortable 2-0 victory over Hull to kickstart his second spell in charge, extending his unbeaten Premier League run at home to 61 games.
Mourinho subsequently confirmed attempts are continuing in the hope of adding a forward to the ranks before the closure of the transfer window on 2 September with Abramovich, who had sanctioned the two recent failed bids for Wayne Rooney, prepared to pursue the manager's preferred target.
The Russian's own decade in charge was also celebrated here and, with memories of Roberto Di Matteo's dismissal and the controversial appointment of Rafael Benítez as an interim replacement last season still raw, the oligarch made a point of speaking to the players before kick-off. "It's great, especially for the players, to feel the atmosphere around the place," said Mourinho. "It's the fifth season I've started with Chelsea but the first time Mr Abramovich has come to the dressing room to be with us before the match.
"Everyone knows what Chelsea did in the last 10 years, so it's better to focus on that than on some negative moments we had in the recent history. We are together and know where we want to go."
Asked whether a third bid is imminent for Rooney, a player Manchester United insist will not be sold this summer, Mourinho's response suggested the club remain in the market for a striker even if their pursuit of the England forward has been frustrated. "We will try till the last day to add a new player to the squad," he said. "A striker. But in this moment every striker has a club. Every striker belongs to somebody. And I don't think it's ethical I name players who belong to other clubs.
"But you know which players we can sniff a situation with and always in an ethical way. If we have to make a bid, we make it in an official way. We don't speak to players but to clubs. We don't try to influence players to behave in a certain way, as other clubs do. We behave in the correct manner and we'll try for that until the last day of the transfer window."
Chelsea's goals were scored by Oscar and Frank Lampard, the latter having earlier missed a penalty, and the returning manager was impressed by the manner in which his charges tore into newly promoted opponents. "I've managed so many times here and won so many matches here but we've not had many periods like that for quality," said Mourinho. "When I saw the second half going in another direction, at the beginning I was frustrated because I want more. But after five minutes I thought we didn't because we couldn't.
"We can't play that way for 90 minutes. We had no energy, no physical energy and no mental availability to play that way. The three boys behind Fernando [Torres] were fantastic but in the second half they disappeared. All of them played national team matches [in midweek] and, when the creativity disappeared, we lost the danger in our game. But the match was already dead by then.
"The reception I received was fantastic, amazing, and they gave me more than I deserve. I'm a bit shy in the face of the fans' reaction. I don't feel very comfortable with that. But now the fans have to support the team, sing about the players and the club, not José. José knows how much they like me and how happy they are to have me back."
His opposite number, Steve Bruce, could draw encouragement from his team's second-half showing, as well as the performance of his summer signing Allan McGregor in goal who added other fine saves to his block from Lampard's penalty. "We won't be playing Chelsea every week," said the manager. "We all know how difficult it's going to be. Even the so-called 'smaller teams' have invested a lot of money, clubs like Southampton, Swansea and Norwich, teams we'll be up against. So we know how difficult it'll be but let's make a fist of it."
Asked his opinion on the owner Assem Allam's decision to drop the "AFC" suffix from the club's official name after 109 years, to market them instead as the Tigers at home and abroad, Bruce added: "I think the PR could have handled it a bit better. I'm a traditionalist. But given the money our guy's put into Hull City, if he wants us to play in pink he's entitled to do it. A year or so ago Cardiff changed their colours and there was uproar. Then they're promoted and is their uproar now? You'd have to ask the owner why he's done it. Maybe he thinks Hull City Tigers is the way forward."

Miranda Lambert and Danica Patrick Get Their Thelma and Louise on in New 'Fastest Girl in Town' Video
Miranda Lambert's got a hankering for gettin' into something in her new 'Fastest Girl in Town' video. And she sure gets into something with help from her co-star, racecar driver Danica Patrick. The 'Thelma and Louise'-style video plays out like an actual mini-movie starring Lambert — there's even a movie poster with Lambert's name as the top billing!
The two bada– broads hit a watering hole in the middle of nowhere, toss back a beer, exchange some longing looks with a scruffy, dirty, hot pool-playing dude, distracting him just long enough to steal the keys to his muscle car and hit the open road.
Lambert, looking ladylike in a Createur Necklace from Debi Lynn Designs, and her speedy friend appear to have messed with the wrong man, however, as he gives chase in a monster truck… with a gun! The neck tattoos should have given it away that he was trouble. Even so, as you'd expect, he is no match for these wily women.
Despite their suitor packing heat during a high-speed chase, with Danica is behind the wheel, of course, the dames outsmart the dudes and the po-po. After all, they are the fastest girls in town.
They escape, with Lambert eventually lamenting that she didn't even get to finish her beer. There's no excuse for that. Time for a refill! While shooting the 'Fastest Girl in Town' video, Patrick admitted that while she's no big country music fan, she found her blonde superstar counterpart to be a kindred spirit.

Authorities say that a Mississippi woman who killed her own husband with a gunshot blast to the chest did so accidentally, because she was trying to shoot a puppy.
Witnesses tell police that the pit bull named "Cocaine" had lunged at some children and tried to attack them on Friday. The dead man's son says the children were taken inside and his father picked the dog up.
It was then that police say Betty Walker fired twice, hitting the dog once and her husband once in the chest. Jackson police spokeswoman Colendula Green says the death of 53-year-old Robert Walker appears to have been accidental.
This whole story- the children feeling threatened by a dog, a pit bull being mistreated enough by its owners that it behaved in a way contrary to their human-loving nature, a woman shooting a dog and killing her husband- is tragic. The puppy lived and was removed from its owners' custody.

Your average New York Fashion Week (officially less than 24 hours away!) comes chock-a-block with B-list beauties from evening soaps and "wait, I know I've seen her before..." somebodies of glossy weekly fame, but in our fantasy world, these are the celebs we're really hoping to spot in spring 2013's hottest front rows...
Lorenzo Dominic LaValle (with mama Snooki in tow): Okay, so he's like, a week old, but how is Snooki's baby going to learn the reality star hustle if he doesn't show up for photo opps? Those US Weekly covers don't just book themselves, little Lorenzo, so debuting your mini-guido mug at the Diesel show would be just the ticket (babies + Euro-jeans = paparazzi gold!).
Pippa Middleton: She sat front row at Temperley in London last season and she's in New York this week, which means the rumors could be legit. Our best guess for her first NYFW show? Jenny Packham--big sis Kate is a big fan.
Kristen Stewart: There's pretty much no better place to make a first public appearance after an embarrassing scandal than at fashion week--especially if you're the kind of A-lister who gets ushered out to your seat from backstage just in time to smile and wave off reporters before the lights go down. She should pick a show with a mega-watt celeb attendee roster, like Tommy Hilfiger, so the flashbulbs have to be shared.
Luke Perry and Jennie Garth: Forget Kimye! This rumored-to-be-reunited couple are actually just developing a sitcom together, but we can't think of a better way to build buzz for it than letting we journalists get all "OMG Dylan and Kelly photo opp!" about it.
Suri Cruise: Most fashion people are all excited about Katie Holmes making her NYFW debut with a presentation of her line, Holmes & Yang. Yeah, yeah, that sounds cool and all, but we're really just hoping Suri makes a cameo to support her mom...after all, how can the world's most sophisticated child already be six and never have been to a fashion show!? This must be remedied at once.
Honey Boo Boo Child (+ Mama, Sugar Bear, Pumpkin, Chubbs, and Chickadee): Because all of the best reality TV comes from fish-out-of-water situations, duh--you better redneckognize and save them a spot at Oscar de la Renta, yall!
Who are you gals hoping we spot at NYFW? Any guesses on which celebs will make appearances? Let's hear it!

Coyotes Outlast Leathernecks, Win By Three On Road
It was a game that had nearly as many back-and-forth swings as made baskets, as South Dakota survived on the road Saturday, beating Western Illinois 79-76.
The contest featured 14 ties and 18 lead changes.
The Coyotes began the game with a pair of 3-pointers from Polly Harrington and Raeshel Contreras to open up a four point advantage.
All of the Leathernecks points came from Ashley Luke in the first six minutes as she had five and USD led by as many as five. Luke finished with 13 first half points.
Then a familiar sight for the Coyote defense, the 3-point shooting of Michelle Maher. Maher, who buried seven 3's in the first meeting, strung together a couple down the stretch in the first half and WIU had a two point lead. Maher had 10 at the break as the two teams were tied at 32 after 20 minutes.
The Coyote bench played well in the first half, as Bridget Arens and Margaret McCloud combined for 13 points. Harrington had seven for USD.
Things don't get much tighter than they did in the second half. With seven minutes to play and the game tied at 72, neither team led by more than a point for the next six minutes, until the final minute when Contreras got a steal and Tia Hemiller converted at the other end, giving USD a lead they wouldn't relinquish.
Hemiller finished with a double-double (11 points and 10 rebounds), one of six Coyote players in double figures led by Seekamp with 18 and Contreras with 15.
Luke single handedly kept WIU in it with 30 points.
Both teams took very good care of the basketball, committing just nine turnovers each.
South Dakota (15-12/6-6) closes out the regular season at home with North Dakota State Thursday, South Dakota State Sunday.

Paracord Bracelets
These Paracord Bracelets were handcrafted and made from the paracord we sell right here on Camping Survival. The paracord itself was made by a certified U.S. government contractor, made of 100% nylon, with a 550 lb. test and a 7 strand core.
Wearing a survival bracelet is not only stylish, especially for the outdoor enthusiast, but also a great way to carry around a good amount of paracord with you in case any emergency should arise. Although the paracord braclets are made to hold securily on your wrist while you are wearing them, in an emergency they can be taken apart with some effort. You can use the paracord in a number of emergencies, ranging from sewing repairs, tow lines, nets, traps and other survival situations.
These bracelets were handmade by our staff right here on Camping Survival. It took us a little while to get it right, but we have finally come up with the perfect paracord bracelet. They are tightly wound, and clasped at the ends with 3/8" black side release buckles. The ends are securely seared off and will not come loose.

I Agree: We Are Not A F***ing Scorpion!
By Rae Lewis-Thornton
March 18, 2011
This piece originally appeared in Rae's blog, Diva Living With AIDS.
The other day, I saw a tweet from Sassy Maria, as I call her. She's another woman living with HIV and doing her part in this fight. I clicked the link because the title of her blog post caught my attention. "I am not a scorpion." Damn straight she ain't! I mumbled, "She's a cutie pie." I wanted to know what the hell she was talking about. Wanted to know who I had to fight on her behalf. On Twitter we have created a little family and we all stick together. #teamHIVAIDS.
When I saw the reason of her distress I was in disbelief. I sat there trying to process what I was seeing. I read her blog post and I liked what she had to say so I asked if I could share it with my readers. Click here to read her blog. I'm sharing her views because I am not alone in this. There is a community of women living with AIDS, doing our part, and fighting to maintain our dignity in the face of stigma.
I had to give this AIDS awareness campaign in France a lot of thought. Like Maria, I understood the point. But I wondered if it did more harm than good. I started to think about all the implications in these ads. Then I Googled the other picture she had mentioned. People with AIDS being compared to Hitler? HUH? The scorpion was one thing, but Hitler? Damn!
They going hard. For Real ... And don't get me wrong, I understand going hard. Remember I posted this picture with the man in a suit and his penis hanging out.
And yes, I'm the person who created #FuckinFriday on Twitter and I tweet about people fucking on Fridays without thinking. So while people are making there plans to have sex on Fridays, I remind them to take there fuckin ass to the drug store and get some fuckin condoms so they don't become a fuckin fool. Yep, I actually tweet about that all day on Fridays. So I understand about getting people's attention. I understand hitting as hard as you can with the hope that you have an impact. And I've never been one to sugarcoat a thing.
But there was something about this ad campaign that didn't sit well with me. It left a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. It seemed to overstep a boundary. The difference is in my methodology, i.e., how I approach my activism and this campaign; they name call and provoke fear and hatred.
I mean, come on! When you see a scorpion you immediately think of death. And maybe that was their point. But the fact of the matter, like Maria, I'm not a fucking scorpion. I'm a loving, fabulous woman that God made in His image. Yes, having unprotected sex with a person with HIV will probably get you HIV. But that is one side of the coin, on the other side, having protected sex, i.e., sex with a latex condom, will protect you from HIV.
The most disturbing part of this ad is that they compared people living with HIV with an image that is repulsive, that everyone connects with death. But just so you know there are 1752 species of scorpions and only 25 have venom that will kill you. So even this ad is rooted in misinformation on one level.
But then you take the Hitler picture. Make no mistake, there is no good quality that I can muster up on his behalf. So I take great offense to being compared to a man who deliberately set out to kill a few races of people, as well as cultures. It is especially disturbing to suggest that I am a murderer when statistics show that the majority of people who have HIV go to great lengths to protect their partner. To suggest that I am a killing machine is way over the line and it feeds into the stigma that already clouds the real issues around HIV/AIDS.
Yes, in 2011, 30 years into the AIDS pandemic, there is still a cloud of stigma that feeds into fear of people with HIV/AIDS and creates a fear of disclosure and shame by people living with HIV.
Case in point, the woman who emailed me that her mother will not go into the HIV clinic with her. The young man who's afraid to tell his family he has HIV and has been living in secret now for three months. And, the host of people on Twitter #teamHIVAIDS, who live in secret with their status for fear of judgment and rejection. Yes, even I lived with this fear for almost 8 years. I understand it well.
It is campaigns such as these that not only make us feel bad about ourselves, but they also continue to feed into an unjust hysteria about the type of people who actually have HIV. This ad is not just calling HIV ugly, it's making the inference that people with HIV are like the images in these pictures.
So how can you, society, ever like me when I'm compared to Hitler? How will you ever get to know me if you have already pre-judged me? Will I ever make it to your home if you already think a certain way about me and other people living with HIV? If everything you've been told about me directly or indirectly is heartless, nasty and mean, how will you ever really come to know and most importantly, support me? This campaign isolates people with HIV/AIDS.

text: Johannesburg - Bafana Bafana completed their preparations for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament by holding fancied Algeria to a goalless draw at Orlando Stadium, in Soweto, on Saturday evening. South Africa, who are 68 places below Algeria in the world rankings, had the better chances in the first half, pushing forward in the latter stages before the break. They continued, however, in their struggle to capitalise up front, just one week before their AFCON opener against Cape Verde Islands. Kagisho Dikgacoi created the first excitement of the game, after a lame opening 20 minutes, but he mistimed an attempted bicycle kick in front of the Algerian goalmouth. Hameur Bouazza received the ball in space soon after, but he was placed under pressure by Bafana keeper Itumeleng Khune and chipped the ball wide to the left with a deflected effort. Two minutes later Bouazza had the first real opportunity of the game, slipping into the area from the left, but he blasted over the crossbar. Shortly after the half-hour mark, Bernard Parker placed the ball well from a long-range free kick, but Siyabonga Sangweni just failed to get to it. Islam Simani thundered a wayward left-footed shot high and left from the edge of the area seven minutes before the break, fluffing the visiting side's last chance of the opening period. Moments later Katlego Mphela intercepted for Bafana and rounded a defender, but he hurriedly blasted straight to Algerian keeper Rais Mbolhi, who kept the ball out with his legs. In the dying stages of the second half, Parker fired in a curling left-footed strike, with Mbolhi diving to his right to parry it wide. Bafana coach Gordon Igesund made wholesale changes in the second half and the hosts seemed a little more disjointed as Algeria got a couple of breakthroughs. Five minutes after the break, Simani charged down the left flank and slid in, with only Khune to beat, but he hit the side netting from a tight angle. Simani then took Algeria's first shot on target, in the 55th minute, which was easily saved by Khune, who got off the ground to reach it. Bafana surged ahead sporadically in the final half hour, and Siphiwe Tshabalala slammed in an attempt off the volley, which sailed centimetres over the bar. Fellow replacement Reneilwe Letsholonyane took a wild strike that soared into the crowd with 11 minutes left in the match. South Africa face Cape Verde in the opening encounter of the AFCON tournament in Johannesburg next week. They also square up against Morocco and Angola in Group A. Algeria are up against the Ivory Coast, Tunisia and Togo in Group D.

Mr Slipper resigned as speaker in October, weakening the Australian government's tenuous grip on power, after his media adviser James Ashby accused him of sexually propositioning him.
Julia Gillard's Labour party government had recruited Mr Slipper from opposition ranks to the speaker's post in a move that effectively gave Labour, which holds a razor-thin majority in Parliament, an additional vote on most legislation. When Mr Slipper resigned, Miss Gillard was forced to rely on independent and minor-party lawmakers to pass her legislative agenda.
Mr Slipper, who is married, denied the sexual harassment allegation and argued the lawsuit had been designed solely to hurt him and destabilise the government.
Federal Court Justice Steven Rares agreed, and found that Mr Ashby and a colleague had used the lawsuit in a bid to boost their careers with the opposition Liberal Party.
"I have reached the firm conclusion that Mr Ashby's predominant purpose for bringing these proceedings was to pursue a political attack against Mr Slipper and not to vindicate any legal claim he may have," Justice Rares wrote in his decision.
Justice Rares did not rule on whether Slipper was guilty of sexual harassment. The judge dubbed the lawsuit an abuse of the judicial process, and ordered Ashby to pay Slipper's legal costs.
Mr Slipper said he felt vindicated.
"I have always maintained that Mr. Ashby's application was about manipulating the justice system to inflict damage on my reputation and political career and to advance the interests of the Liberal National Party," Slipper said in a statement.
Mr Ashby said he planned to appeal.
"There's been a determined campaign to try and prevent the substantive allegations being heard and judged in open court and to put me at a maximum cost in pursuing justice," he said outside court.

As the hours dwindle down until the Election Day polls open and we vote for our nation's new leaders, all candidates are bringing out their big guns. In Ohio today, President Obama brought out Jay-Z.
In front of a packed rally crowd in Columbus he followed Bruce Springsteen and performed some of his big hits like "Run This Town" and "Encore." The standout, however, was a slightly altered version of his song "99 Problems." He said though he didn't get it vetted by the powers that be, he was going for it. "I have to do it — I'm sorry," he said. "I didn't get clearance from the Secret Service."
Instead of the original line, "If you're having girl problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one," he sang: "If you're having world problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but a Mitt ain't one." Watch his performance after the jump.
Of course some people are up in arms. Mitt's senior communications adviser, Ted Newton, tweeted, "A new low for Obama presidency: Jay-Z replacing a misogynistic swear word with the word 'Mitt' as he performs at an Obama event."
That aside, however, it's honestly one of the catchiest rally cries I've heard from either side this whole election process. The Obama campaign really should have capitalized on that earlier in the cycle, because it's pretty infectious and quite clever.
Even if they didn't, however, someone else did. On YouTube last month, user Diran Lyons uploaded a hilarious mashup of President Obama rapping along to the song with some pretty clever lyrics. Be warned though the language is quite explicit so be careful before clicking.
The big problem, of course, will come if Romney does win. Then Jay-Z is up to 100 problems, and that just doesn't flow so well.
What do you think of Jay-Z's performance? Did it cross the line?

Three factors that have made Singapore a global logistics hub
When it gained independence in 1965, Singapore was a low-income country with limited natural resources that lacked basic infrastructure, investment and jobs.
A few decades later, the picture couldn't be more different. Singapore has become one of Asia's wealthiest nations, due in large part to its emergence as the highest-performing logistics hub in the region (see World Bank Logistics Performance Index).
The numbers speak for themselves. Today, the small city-state is home to the world's largest transshipment container port, linked to over 600 ports worldwide. Singapore Changi airport is voted the best internationally, and is served by about 6,800 weekly flights to 330 cities. Finally, the island nation's trade value amounts to 3.5 times its GDP.
Singapore's achievements did not happen by chance. They result from a combination of forward-looking public policy and extensive private sector engagement. This experience could provide some lessons to any developing country seeking to improve its logistics network. Let us look at three key factors of success.

Stories of commuting in the bay, having too many bikes, and other velo shenanigans.
The Story of James
For those worried about the possibility that this was a stolen bike - I was able to get purchase history and to verify that it was legitimately purchased!
8 comments:
cool story! thanks for sharing... what a wacky incident, and now you've scored a bike... just curious; will you keep it or sell it?ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm not entirely sure yet! I was meaning to build up a foul weather commuter/something I wouldn't be afraid to take on the train, so I'm leaning towards keeping it. It is a 54 cm frame, which is my size, and I just put a decent amount of work into it, so...Delete
If I do decide to hang onto it for a while, I will probably swap the wheelset for a fixed gear and switch the belt system to Centertrack :]
Ahh -ReplyDelete
Now what you need is a girlfriend to go with that bike!
James is obviously a bike thief. You are obviously the owner of a stolen bike. The right thing to do is post on craigslist and return this stolen bike, that you got for free, to its rightful owner. Just ask the owner to show photos of the bike in its original condition to prove ownership.ReplyDelete
Turning James in to the police would be a public service, but returning the bike is your moral duty. If you don't, then don't complain next time one of yours gets stolen.Replies
Hey BobLoblaw,Delete
Stolen bike was my first thought too, but man what a great cover story if it was...and why bother having someone fix it up. From what little I know just flipping the bike makes more sense than having someone swap components before selling it.
Also, I would suggest verifying the bike was stollen before turning James over to the police...currently just speculation, no proof, that the bike was stolen.
For not having an ounce of proof, you sure like to throw the word "obviously" around quite a bit.Delete
By the way, ordering parts and doing labor is not "free."
Truth be told, this was my first thought too. After I got the bike I went home and searched every missing/stolen bike post I could find, and continued to do so for about a week after, with no matches.Delete
That said, I'd be confused as to why he would go through the trouble of dealing with me as the middleman, if he was a thief. I know where he works, what train he rides, and have his contact information. I also know that he has since moved out of his apartment. The bike isn't his size, and as it was it could have been sold just fine.
It is certainly a possibility though, I won't deny that, and the bike isn't going anywhere right now. If it does turn out to be stolen, justice will be served and I'll see to it that the owner gets the bike back. I have the entire e-mail exchange saved, if needed.
You are correct though, and I will contact the local authorities and see if there was a police report filed with the bike's description, which I didn't do before in case it ended up being confiscated and it turns out he wasn't a thief.

Today, Christians the world over will be celebrating Easter Sunday, which commemorates an event that, at first glance, may seem hard to believe.
Jesus of Nazareth, a first-century Jewish carpenter turned itinerant preacher and healer who Christians believe was God in the flesh, comes back to life two days after being executed on a Roman cross and appears to his followers.
Today, Christians the world over will be celebrating Easter Sunday, which commemorates an event that, at first glance, may seem hard to believe.
Jesus of Nazareth, a first-century Jewish carpenter turned itinerant preacher and healer who Christians believe was God in the flesh, comes back to life two days after being executed on a Roman cross and appears to his followers.
"It's the day in which Christians believe Jesus Christ rose from the dead, which is the definitive victory over death, evil and our biggest fears, so this is a day in which we celebrate what God has done in order to save us," said the Rev. Roger Landry, pastor of St. Bernadette Church in Fall River.
Jesus "conquered the greatest problem that mankind has ever had, and that is death. He showed that there is a way through death," said Pastor Gerard Martel of Grace Gospel Church in Swansea.
After a season of penance, fasting, reflection and self-denial known as Lent, church services today will have a more joyous, exultant tone in their music, preaching and worship.
"On Easter Sunday Masses, there will be double hallelujahs wherever we can, with joy proclaiming our gratitude to God," said Landry, who recently returned from Rome, where he was on-hand for the conclave that elected Pope Francis.
Westport Point United Methodist and Westport United Congregational Church will have a joint 6 a.m. sunrise service Sunday at Gooseberry Neck, with singing and praising.
"We've been very intentional about being present with Jesus on this journey at this time of year, and we make it a priority in our lives to be that way," said the Rev. Katherine Mitchell, pastor of Westport Point United Methodist Church.
The Rev. Robert Lawrence, the pastor emeritus at the First Congregational Church in Fall River, will be leading Easter Sunday services aboard the Queen Elizabeth, where he is a passenger on a voyage to Europe.
"The resurrection of Christ, for those who can believe in what happened that first Easter, is the fulfillment of the promise that we do have eternal life," Lawrence said.
"The wonderful thing about Easter is that we are not celebrating a historical event. We're celebrating a present reality. Christians live in the fact that Christ is risen," said the Rev. John Murray, pastor of St. Ann's Catholic Church in Raynham.
"... He's God. And every human person, whether we realize it or not, has a place in our hearts that (is) created for God alone. So when God makes himself known, the human person is going to be drawn to him," Murray said.
With all the theological doctrines on Jesus' divinity, it is almost easy to forget that secular historians also believe Jesus was a real human being. The first-century Jewish historian Flavius Joseph mentioned Jesus in his writings, as did Tacitus, a Roman senator and historian, in A.D. 116.
Not much is known of Jesus' life before he began his public ministry at age 30. The gospels recount his birth in Bethlehem, his parents' flight into Egypt and one episode from his childhood at age 12 when he had a dialogue with Jewish scholars in the Temple at Jerusalem. Landry calls this period Jesus' "hidden life."
"We Christians believe that was a significant part of what he did to save us because most of our lives are hidden in terms of world history," Landry said.
Based on what is known from the gospels and the culture in first-century Israel, some extrapolations can be made on what Jesus' life might have been like.
Jesus probably looked Semitic and grew up poor, living first as an exile in Egypt before his family returned to Nazareth, a small village in Galilee. The gospels say Joseph — Jesus' foster father — was an advanced carpenter or workman, and Jesus would have likely followed in his trade.
The gospels indicate Jesus grew up in a faithful extended Jewish family, which would have included cousins, aunts, uncles and village residents. He would have spoken Aramaic, probably knew Hebrew from attending religious services, and may have also been familiar with Greek, which was a universal language in the Roman Empire.
Jesus appears to have known how to read and write, based on gospel stories of him reading from the Torah at his local synagogue and later writing in the sand to prevent an adulterous woman from being stoned.
However, it is his short, three-year "public life" that continues to resonate with people more than 2,000 years later. His message of repentance, reconciliation, forgiveness, unconditional love, humility and charity continue to inspire people today.
"Jesus is the most selfless person in all of history," said the Rev. Greg Wheaton, pastor of Liberty Christian Center in Taunton. "He is the most caring and selfless. He defied cultural expectations in his treatment of foreigners, women and the way he put himself out there for other people and the ultimate sacrifice of his life. His teachings are so divine. They are not human philosophy."
"The thing that Jesus taught is a way, a spiritual path to being our fullest and truest selves," Mitchell added.
"We were created to be a community of people who care for one another," said Tom Cabral, pastor of Redemption Fellowship Church in Fall River.
"If the Trinity is a community of three loving persons, then it shows we are meant to live in community, to care for the less fortunate," Cabral said. "It's part of our spiritual DNA as persons to care for others. That is what makes for a Christian life."

Jimmy Patrick's hosting this month's Mixology Monday, and he's chosen the theme whisk(e)y. As I noted earlier, I came across a tasty recipe while researching uses for Cherry Heering (I've slightly adapted CockailDB's proportions):
High Hat
- 2 oz. rye
- ½ oz. Cherry Heering
- ½ oz. lemon juice
Technique: Shake, strain, etc.
The interplay of the rye (Rittenhouse BIB, in this case) and the Heering is fun. The cherry notes play well with the peppery qualities of the rye. This drink belongs in our rotation, for sure.
I've been enjoying another group of drinks, as well, also based on rye, and these are a couple of Manhattan/Brooklyn adaptations that have arisen fairly recently: the Red Hook and the Greenpoint. The Manhattan, of course, is whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters; whereas the Brooklyn is traditionally whiskey, dry vermouth, maraschino, and a dash of Amer Picon.
As a word of explanation, Red Hook and Greenpoint are both waterfront neighborhoods in Brooklyn. Red Hook was a hardscrabble shipping neighborhood–the inspiration for the film On the Waterfront. Greenpoint is a Polish-immigrant neighborhood–the northernmost Brooklyn waterfront neighborhood before you cross Newtown Creek into Queens.
I'm not sure of the Greenpoint's origins (and, in fact, I'm not sure the name derives from the Brooklyn neighborhood), but as Paul Clarke notes, the Red Hook originated at New York's Milk and Honey. I've assumed that the Greenpoint is simply a Red Hook variation with a green liqueur, named after a "green" Brooklyn nabe, but that might be erroneous folk etymology on my part.
The Red Hook starts with a Manhattan base (rye and sweet vermouth–or, preferably, rye and Punt e Mes) and adds a small amount of maraschino–about one quarter or one half an ounce. The Greenpoint takes the same recipe and substitutes Chartreuse (green, natch) for the maraschino.
These are both delightful drinks, and I thought it might be fun to riff on them a bit. But my reach exceeded my grasp, I'm afraid. I figured I'd mix up some rye with sweet vermouth and Cherry Heering. Ugh. I even borrowed the lemon juice from the High Hat, and still… no. It was like the War of the fucking Roses in that glass.
I suspect there are ways, without getting cutesy, of crafting a Williamsburg or a Park Slope, but I'm afraid I didn't find that answer tonight.

Westchester native Earl Simmons, the rapper DMX, has been arrested after prosecutors said he owes $1.7 million in taxes and engaged in a multi-year scheme to conceal from the Internal Revenue Service millions of dollars of income.
Simmons surrendered to law enforcement agents Thursday and will be presented Friday in Manhattan federal court before United States Magistrate Judge Andrew J. Peck, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District Joon H. Kim said.
A Mount Vernon native who grew up in Yonkers, the 46-year-old Simmons has become an international celebrity from his songs, including his best-selling hip-hop album "And Then There Was X," and the 2003 hit "X Gon' Give it to Ya."
Kim said that while Simmons was "raking in millions from his songs," he "didn't give any of it to the IRS."
"Far from it," Kim added, "DMX allegedly went out of his way to evade taxes, including by avoiding personal bank accounts, setting up accounts in other's names and paying personal expenses largely in cash.
"He even allegedly refused to tape the television show 'Celebrity Couples Therapy' until a properly issued check he was issued was reissued without withholding any taxes.
"Celebrity rapper or not, all Americans must pay their taxes, and together with our partners at the IRS, we will pursue those who deliberately and criminally evade this basic obligation of citizenship."
During the period from 2010 through 2015, Simmons earned more than $2.3 million, but did not file personal income tax returns during that time period, Kim said. Instead, he orchestrated a scheme to evade payment of his outstanding tax liabilities, largely by maintaining a cash lifestyle, avoiding the use of a personal bank account, and using the bank accounts of nominees, including his business managers, to pay personal expenses, according to Kim.
Simmons tried to conceal his income from the IRS and others, including by filing a false affidavit in U.S. Bankruptcy Court that listed his income as "unknown" for 2011 and 2012, and as $10,000 for 2013, Kim said. In fact, said Kim, Simmons received hundreds of thousands of dollars of income in each of those years.
Simmons has been charged in 14 counts: one count of corruptly endeavoring to obstruct and impede the due administration of Internal Revenue Laws, one count of evasion of payment of income taxes, six counts of evasion of assessment of income tax liability, and six counts of failure to file a U.S. individual income tax return.
Count One carries a maximum sentence of three years. Counts Two through Eight each carry a maximum sentence of five years. Counts Nine through Fourteen each carry a maximum sentence of one year.
Simmons overcame a difficult childhood that included stays at group homes and frequent arrests to rise to stardom.

Now that it's all over, let's eat!
After many standing ovations and much shouting of "whoo," the Democrats have wrapped up their convention and are heading home, except for Bill Clinton, who is expected to conclude his remarks sometime around Halloween.
So now both major political parties have presented their visions for America's future, which can be summarized as follows:
THE DEMOCRATIC VISION: If we elect Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, the nation is going straight down the toilet.
THE REPUBLICAN VISION: If we reelect Barack Obama and Joe Biden, the nation is going straight down the toilet.
And now, at last, the time has come for us, the American people — having been presented with these two starkly contrasting philosophies of government at a critical time in our nation's history — to watch football. But first let's take a few minutes to look back on the two conventions, and see what observations we can make.
OBSERVATION ONE: The atmosphere sometimes produces weather.
You'd think that two political parties teeming with highly informed geniuses eager to run the country would already be aware of this fact, but apparently they are not, since the Republicans scheduled their convention for Florida during hurricane season, and the Democrats scheduled their big night for an outdoor stadium in North Carolina in the summer. I am not suggesting here that these geniuses are stupid.
No, wait, I am suggesting that.
OBSERVATION TWO: Street protests are ineffective, by which I mean stupid.
For two weeks now, I have watched protesters shouting. They never talk; they always shout, often through bullhorns — at the police, at the media, at each other, at civilian passersby, and sometimes at nothing. I do not believe any of these protesters changed anybody's mind about anything, because — follow me closely — normal people do not like to be shouted at.
Normal people also are not inclined to listen receptively to arguments presented by anybody dressed as a giant vagina, or a giant anything else. One night in Tampa, as I was walking to my rental car, a convertible pulled up, and in the back seat, riding parade style, were two people wearing full-body furry pink pig costumes. They told me they were riding around Tampa at night dressed as pigs to persuade people to stop eating meat. As they explained their views, my reaction was not to think, "They're right! I shall become a vegetarian!" My reaction was a combination of, "These people are insane," and "I could go for some barbecue."
OBSERVATION THREE: Political conventions are not as much fun as they used to be.
By "fun," I mean, yet again, stupid, but this time in a good way. I'm talking about the days when almost all the delegates wore giant ridiculous hats, and people got off-message, and unscripted things happened, including the occasional fistfight, and the schedule got so screwed up that the presidential nominee had to deliver his acceptance speech at 3:30 a.m. in a haze of cigarette smoke and tear gas.
I'm talking about the days when every convention featured "favorite son" candidates — politicians who had absolutely no chance to win, but their state delegations nominated them anyway, purely so they could have big pointless fun celebrations on the convention floor. I still vividly remember watching, on TV, the 1968 Republican convention, during which the Hawaii delegation nominated Sen. Hiram Fong, thereby setting off a wondrously entertaining 20-minute demonstration — a joyful conga line of people weaving around the floor wearing leis and waving signs that said "HI HI HIRAM!"
That could never happen today. For one thing, Hiram is dead. (Although I would still vote for him.) But the main reason is that nothing remotely frivolous or spontaneous is allowed to happen at conventions anymore. This means that almost all the "excitement" comes from judging how well or poorly a given speaker executed a given speech. Inside the convention bubble, everybody gets very worked up about this; much of what passes for journalism consists of journalists declaring, with journalistic certainty, how a given speaker made them feel.
Anyway, the conventions are over. We won't go through this again for another four years. And we have no way of knowing where the nation will be then.
No, wait, we do: the toilet.
I don't know about you, but I'm ready for some football.

It sounds really dorky, but I'm pumped! It's kind of exciting! A few months ago I was contacted by Sara at Glamour España for permission to feature this here little blog and use some pictures. They kindly offered to send me a copy (and it came with two additional wee little magazines!) and it arrived in the mail today.
Ahhh, I'm on a page!
I can't believe I'm on a page with PARK & CUBE since she is chic like I could only dream of being! I basically do this at her blog.
They used pictures from this post and also this one, featuring some of my favorite vintage finds. I think my teachers from middle and high school would be proud, I can even read the little blurbs next to the pictures without a problem!
I'm super excited. Thanks so much Sara and Glamour España!
