Starbucks and other employers in California must pay workers for minutes they routinely spend off the clock on tasks such as locking up or setting the store alarm, the state Supreme Court ruled Thursday.
The unanimous ruling was a big victory for hourly workers in California and could prompt additional lawsuits against employers in the state.
The ruling came in a lawsuit by a Starbucks employee, Douglas Troester, who argued that he was entitled to be paid for the time he spent closing the store after he had clocked out.
Troester said he activated the store alarm, locked the front door and walked co-workers to their cars — tasks that he said required him to work for four to 10 additional minutes a day.
Starbucks said it was disappointed with the ruling. In a brief filed with the California Supreme Court, attorneys for Starbucks said Troester's argument could lead to "innumerable lawsuits over a few seconds of time." The U.S. Chamber of Commerce in a court filing also warned of the possibility of "significant liability" to businesses in the state.
A U.S. District Court rejected Troester's lawsuit on the grounds that the time he spent on those tasks was minimal. But the California Supreme Court said a few extra minutes of work each day could "add up."
Troester was seeking payment for 12 hours and 50 minutes of work over a 17-month period. At $8 an hour, that amounts to $102.67, the California Supreme Court said.
"That is enough to pay a utility bill, buy a week of groceries, or cover a month of bus fares," Associate Justice Goodwin Liu wrote. "What Starbucks calls 'de minimis' is not de minimis at all to many ordinary people who work for hourly wages."
Trivial and not trivial
The ruling also applies to tasks done before the workday begins, said Bryan Lazarski, an attorney in Los Angeles who handles wage claims against employers.
Lazarski said he expects the ruling to open the door to additional lawsuits by workers in similar situations as Troester. But he also expects lawsuits that "test the boundary of what this case says" to determine how much time spent doing work off the clock is enough to get paid.
The court in Thursday's ruling said it was not closing the door on all claims by employers that the amount of additional work was too negligible.
"The court is saying, 'We haven't really drawn a line with regard to what is trivial and what is not trivial, but in this case, the time that the employee was not compensated was significant,'" said Veena Dubal, a labor law expert at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law.
Associate Justice Leondra Kruger wrote separately to say that there may be some periods of time that are "so brief, irregular of occurrence, or difficult to accurately measure or estimate," that requiring an employer to account for them would not be reasonable.
She cited as examples a glitch that delays logging in to a computer to start a shift or having to read and acknowledge an email or text message about a schedule change while off the clock.
Tracking time
The federal court that threw out Troester's lawsuit also said it would be hard for an employer to track the additional time that he worked. But Liu said employers could use technology for that or restructure employees' work so they don't have any tasks after they clock out.
Employers can also estimate the additional time, he said.
Troester appealed the U.S. District Court's decision to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The appeals court asked the California Supreme Court to determine whether a federal rule permitting employers under some circumstances to require employees to work as much as 10 minutes a day without compensation applied under state law.
The lawsuit now returns to the 9th Circuit.

Facebook Tests "Highlight" Feature on Kiwis
My wife, Deborah, who manages the social-media presence of a non-profit healthcare facility in Florida, posted a status update for her client last week. This was utterly unremarkable; she does this several times a day. But this post has, to date, received 2,349 comments, it has been shared 1,026 times, and 36,634 people have "liked" it. These numbers are orders of magnitude higher than those for her typical posts, numbers that, say, Lady Gaga or Justin Bieber (or their social media elves tasked with such mundane activities as tweeting to the hoi polloi) typically expect to see; Deb's client had, as her boss said, "hit the big time in the world of social media."
As Deb pointed out, she could have done it only in New Zealand. Over the last fortnight or so, Facebook has quietly introduced a new feature to its site — highlighting. When my status updates appear in Facebook's news feed, a fourth option now appears below it. In addition to "Like," "Comment" and "Share," I can now click a link labelled "Highlight." Doing so causes Facebook to ask if I want to "Highlight an Important Post." For US$2, "you can highlight important news to help make sure friends don't miss it."
This new feature is being trialled in New Zealand. It is only fair that Kiwis be granted the occasional perk — connectivity in this country being so shonky, it's sweet to be ahead of the game for a change (see
Paying by the Bit: Internet Access in New Zealand, 15 January 2010).
Facebook appears to be testing this new feature selectively; not everyone I've spoken to in New Zealand has access to it yet. And among those of us who can highlight their posts, the company is trying out two models, presumably to see which one will gain more traction. While Facebook wants to charge me two dollars per post for the privilege of highlighting a post, Deb paid nothing to put her client's update at the top of their friends' news feeds. Facebook is no doubt hoping to establish how many people are likely to be willing to pay for the feature and comparing that revenue against the associated increase in traffic.
So what do you get for your money? Not, at first blush, an enormous amount — a highlighted post stands out in a news feed thanks to a yellow background. Or perhaps not. Some Facebookers report seeing highlighted posts pinned to the top of their news feeds; in my news feed highlighted posts are indistinguishable beyond the word "highlighted." And as far as I can tell, Facebook's iPhone app has no way of identifying highlighted posts yet. But if Deb's experience is in any way typical (and, of course, we're assuming here that highlighting a post was, at the very least, a contributing factor in its virality), then it's money well spent. And of course, it's almost certain that if highlighted posts become commonplace, they
too will fade into the background of social chatter noise.
Facebook is saying nothing so far about when this new functionality might makes its way around the world, or whether it will be paid or free. For now, they appear to be detecting potential guinea pigs by New Zealand IP addresses, but, interestingly, still honouring our currency preferences; knowing that I'm British, Facebook wanted to charge me £1.29. Why Facebook chose New Zealand as a testing ground remains unclear — perhaps Mark Zuckerberg is a massive Lord of the Rings fan, or perhaps we're an English-speaking market
that's just the right size for a test.
But for now, a couple of dollars is a small price to pay to become, as Deb's grateful boss put it, the queen of social media for a day.

One of the advantages to knowing that your demise is
imminent, and that reports of it will not be greatly exaggerated, is that you
have a few moments to compose some parting thoughts.
In our modern political age, the presidential bully pulpit
seems dedicated to sowing division and denigrating, often in the most
irrelevant and infantile personal terms, the political opposition.
And much as I have found Twitter to be a useful means of expression,
some occasions merit more than 280 characters.
My personal and political character was formed in a
different era that was kinder, if not necessarily gentler. We observed modicums
of respect even as we fought, often bitterly and savagely, over issues that
were literally life and death to a degree that — fortunately – we see much less
of today.
Think about it:
Impoverishment of the elderly because of medical expenses
was a common and often accepted occurrence. Opponents of the Medicare program
that saved the elderly from that cruel fate called it "socialized medicine."
Remember that slander if there's a sustained revival of silly red-baiting
Not five decades ago, much of the largest group of
freshwater lakes on Earth — our own Great Lakes — were closed to swimming and
fishing and other recreational pursuits because of chemical and bacteriological
contamination from untreated industrial and wastewater disposal. Today, the
Great Lakes are so hospitable to marine life that one of our biggest challenges
is controlling the invasive species that have made them their new home.
We regularly used and consumed foods, drugs, chemicals and
other things (cigarettes) that were legal, promoted and actively harmful.
Hazardous wastes were dumped on empty plots in the dead of night. There were
few if any restrictions on industrial emissions. We had only the barest
scientific knowledge of the long-term consequences of any of this.
And there was a great stain on America, in the form of our
legacy of racial discrimination. There were good people of all colors who
banded together, risking and even losing their lives to erase the legal and
other barriers that held Americans down. In their time, they were often
demonized and targeted, much like other vulnerable men and women today.
Please note: All of these challenges were addressed by
Congress. Maybe not as fast as we wanted, or as perfectly as hoped. The work is
certainly not finished. But we've made progress — and in every case, from the
passage of Medicare through the passage of civil rights, we did it with the
support of Democrats and Republicans who considered themselves first and
foremost to be Americans.
I'm immensely proud, and eternally grateful, for having had
the opportunity to play a part in all of these efforts during my service in Congress.
And it's simply not possible for me to adequately repay the love that my
friends, neighbors and family have given me and shown me during my public
service and retirement.
But I would be remiss in not acknowledging the forgiveness
and sweetness of the woman who has essentially supported me for almost 40
years: my wife, Deborah. And it is a source of great satisfaction to know that
she is among the largest group of women to have ever served in the Congress (as
she busily recruits more).
In my life and career, I have often heard it said that
so-and-so has real power — as in, "the powerful Wile E. Coyote, chairman
of the Capture the Road Runner Committee."
It's an expression that has always grated on me. In
democratic government, elected officials do not havepower. They hold power
— in trust for the people who elected them. If they misuse or abuse that public
trust, it is quite properly revoked (the quicker the better).
I never forgot the people who gave me the privilege of
representing them. It was a lesson learned at home from my father and mother,
and one I have tried to impart to the people I've served with and employed over
the years.
As I prepare to leave this all behind, I now leave you in
control of the greatest nation of mankind and pray God gives you the wisdom to
understand the responsibility you hold in your hands.
May God bless you all, and may God bless America.

Legends. Icons. Idols. These are the words used to describe those rare bands that have been adored for a lifetime and immortalized as distinct creators of rock and roll. But what these reverent words are missing is the notion of now. How do you reconcile a generation-spanning word like icon with the quick beat of the present? Aerosmith does it. The band members are legends, icons and idols, dynamic in the present; as cool and innovative now as they were thirty years ago. They are a phenomenon, a force of nature, trail-blazing, unstoppable, showing no signs of slowing down.Unique even among the select handful of rock bands who are still active after their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, Aerosmith has sold over 100 million albums.
Think for a second about how big a number that is and how many people have heard their music. Huge! Steven Tyler on vocals, Joe Perry and Brad Whitford on guitars, Tom Hamilton on bass, and Joey Kramer on drums. They've outdone the trends and fads of rock and roll to become one of the most powerful and electrifying forces in popular music.
Rewind for a minute to the early '70s, when the phrase "sex, drugs and rock & roll" was a rebellious teenager. Enter Aerosmith with a sexy swagger and thrusts ofmetal, glam and boogie woogie. Tyler's lyrics laced with double entendres and witty humor perfectly complimented by the entire group cool urban charisma. Beyond driving rock and roll tunes, Aerosmith created quintessential power ballads such as Dream On. This dual skill set gave the band a string of gold and platinum albums, including Get Your Wings, Toys in the Attic and Rocks.
The early '80s were rockier times, with Perry and Whitford temporarily leaving the Aero fold to pursue solo projects. The guitarists returned in 1984 and soon after, Aerosmith was back in the saddle again. And they have been on top of the charts ever since. Albums like Permanent Vacation, Pump, Get a Grip and Nine Lives, Just Push Play, and their latest release, the blues-inspired 'Honkin' on Bobo', have all been huge successes. And the killer videos – a driving force of the video medium, these Boston rockers led the look, style and attitude of the '80s MTV generation. Videos for Dude Looks Like a Lady, Livin' On the Edge and Crazy (starring Liv) are solid MTV classics. And later, with videos like Pink and Jaded, Aerosmith continued to cut the edge.
Always a step ahead of the pack, Aerosmith's Just Push Play is the first album to be produced by band members Steven Tyler and Joe Perry (along with Mark Hudson and Marti Frederiksen). The unforgettable pop melodies and bone-shaking rock riffs that are Just Push Play sent Aerosmith even further on their path to musical immortality.
'Honkin' on Bobo' was released in March 2004, and as one Rolling Stone review put it: "Aerosmith don't have much time for pain on Honkin' on Bobo. The songs are mostly about gettin' some, then gettin' outta there -- Dixon's "I'm Ready," Bo Diddley's "Road Runner" -- and the attack is heavy Sixties shindig: snarling guitars, thunderclap drumming, Steven Tyler's 3-D snake hiss and widescreen yowl. Bobo is really a combined tribute: to the originators of the blues' core repertoire and the explosive, electric inventions of 1960s British bands such as the Yardbirds, Mayall's Bluesbreakers and the Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac." (David Fricke, Rolling Stone)
With such an unstoppable passion for creating great music, a unique creative vision and an unyielding appreciation for their fans, there are no limits to what the future holds for Aerosmith.

Get the Lead Out
Ensuring Safe Drinking Water for Our Children at School
Over the past two years, the tragedy of Flint, Michigan has stunned the nation. We watched the drinking water of an entire city become contaminated with lead. And now we know this toxic threat extends well beyond Flint to communities across the country. In fact, test results now show that lead is even contaminating drinking water in schools and pre-schools — flowing from thousands of fountains and faucets where our kids drink water every day.
Environment America Research & Policy Center
Over the past two years, the tragedy of Flint, Michigan has stunned the nation. We watched the drinking water of an entire city become contaminated with lead. And now we know this toxic threat extends well beyond Flint to communities across the country. In fact, test results now show that lead is even contaminating drinking water in schools and pre-schools — flowing from thousands of fountains and faucets where our kids drink water every day.
In all likelihood, the confirmed cases of lead in schools' water are just the tip of the iceberg. Most schools have at least some lead in their pipes, plumbing, or fixtures. And where there is lead, there is risk of contamination.
The health threat of lead in schools' water deserves immediate attention from state and local policymakers for two reasons. First, lead is highly toxic and especially damaging to children — impairing how they learn, grow, and behave. So, we ought to be particularly vigilant against this health threat at schools and pre-schools, where our children spend their days learning and playing.
Second, current regulations are too weak to protect our children from lead-laden water at school. Federal rules only apply to the roughly ten percent of schools and pre-schools that provide their own water. Moreover, these rules only require remediation when testing confirms lead concentrations in excess of 15 parts per billion, even though medical and public health experts are unanimous that there is no safe level of lead for our children. The error of this approach is compounded by the fact that testing, even when properly done, often fails to detect maximum lead levels in water coming out of the tap.
Unfortunately, so far most states are failing to protect children from lead in schools' drinking water. Our review of 16 states' laws and regulations finds:
- Several states have no requirements for schools and pre-schools to address the threat of lead in drinking water; and
- Of the few states with applicable laws, most follow flaws in the federal rules — relying on testing instead of prevention, and using standards that allow health-threatening levels of lead to persist in our children's water at school.
More specifically, when assessed in terms of protecting children from lead in water at school, these states' policies earned the following grades:
Given the high toxicity of lead to children, the most health-protective policy is simply to "get the lead out" of our schools and pre-schools. This involves proactively removing lead-bearing parts from schools' drinking water systems — from service lines to faucets and fixtures — and installing filters certified to remove lead at every tap used for drinking or cooking. Because all this prevention work will take time to complete, schools should also immediately begin regular and proper testing of all water outlets used for drinking or cooking and promptly remove from service those outlets where lead is detected. And schools should provide the public with easy access to all testing data and the status of remediation plans.
The promise and viability of this "get the lead out" approach can be seen in municipal and voluntary programs across the country. Madison, Wisconsin and Lansing, Michigan have removed all lead service lines from homes, and New York City has replaced them at schools. Seattle has adopted a somewhat more protective standard for lead in water. And Washington, D.C. is considering an ordinance that would not only set the standard for lead at one part per billion for schools but also require installing certified filters at all outlets used for drinking or cooking in schools.
The science now makes clear that there is no safe level of lead exposure for our children. To ensure safe drinking water for our children, we need policies that will "get the lead out" at school and pre-school.
States and communities should:
- Proactively "get the lead out" of schools and early childhood programs by removing lead service lines, lead-bearing plumbing, fixtures, etc.
- Install and maintain filters certified to remove lead on taps and fountains used for cooking and drinking
- Adopt a 1 ppb standard for lead in schools' drinking water, consistent with recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics
- Require testing at all water outlets used for drinking or cooking at all schools annually, using protocols designed to capture worst-case lead exposure for children
- Immediately remove from service any faucet or fountain used for drinking or cooking where testing indicates lead in the water
- Disclose all available information about lead in water infrastructure, test results, and remediation plans/progress both onsite and online
- Provide funding to remove lead in schools' water infrastructure
The federal government should:
- Enforce and strengthen federal rules to protect drinking water from lead – e.g. the Lead and Copper Rule
- Propose major funding to help states and communities remove lead in water infrastructure — including lead service lines and plumbing/fixtures in schools
- Marshal the authority of all relevant federal agencies to protect public health from contamination of drinking water
And of course, we should fully protect all sources of drinking water from pollution.

Network Security | Lombard, IL
Right now, as you're reading this, you could be the target of a data breach. Whether you like it or not, the bad guys are lurking in the shadows of the Internet and they are trying to gain access to your business. You need to be protected or you could be at risk of something as simple as a virus or as catastrophic as a full data breach, which can significantly impact your business.
We offer network security consulting and auditing services and proudly serve Lombard, IL. Our network security consultants can help you identify weaknesses and vulnerabilities in your network and offer solutions to remediate these issues, keeping your network and valuable data safe.
Recent studies have shown that 66% of small businesses would shut down if they experienced a data breach. The costs of data breaches are staggering, to say the least, with the cost exceeding $200 per record of personally identifiable information stolen. For example, if your business suffered a data breach and 1,000 records of personally identifiable information were stolen, you would be on the hook for a $200,000 fine. Not a pretty sight. Most businesses cannot survive this cost alone.
Furthermore, let's not forget about other threats such as Ransomware, which creators can demand thousands of dollars to unlock each computer that is affected.
Being protected is not just a matter of using anti-virus and crossing your fingers. Think about all the information you have in your computers. Credit card and bank account numbers, personal, customer and employee information such as phone and social security numbers, email and physical addresses, perhaps any medications they're taking, home or car insurance information, who their relatives are, trade secrets, intellectual property, manufacturing processes, software source code, etc.
You get the point. There's no such thing as too much security.
Various branches of the federal government have recommended security practices for small businesses, but few have noticed and even fewer are capable of implementing the recommendations.
Here are some things to consider:
- Do you know if your firewall blocks all unnecessary traffic or does it just let everything through? Does it filter content to be sure that it is not malicious?
- Are your wireless networks secured from man in the middle attacks? Are you using the latest security protocols?
- Are your workstations secured so that viruses and malware cannot be installed on them?
- Do you have backups of your data and do you know for sure that these backups are even running properly?
- Do you allow mobile devices to access your companies resources? Have you secured your company's data on these mobile devices?

Amendment to the UUCA
9 comments:
- Unknown said...
Regardless of whether there is a separate Act for UiTM, as UiTM is officially a IPTA, the UUCA should still be applicable.
Example are Banks, there is BAFIA but Companies Act is still applicable.
Maybe the Minister himself is not well informed. - 12/11/2008 01:52:00 pm
The minister of higher education is an idiot.....never get his facts right....same case as University Rakyat when he said it political party's university, when actually it was proposed to be run by government.

The person in charge of MOHE should be an eminent academic with the at least a Prof title with years of experience in the higher education sector, NOT any Tom, Dick or Harry from virtually unknown other than UMNO.
It's no wonder our whole education sector has gone to the dogs and becomes what it is now, at the whim and fancy of the politicians. - 12/13/2008 12:47:00 am

Same problems are encountered in Turkey. I used to think that in Malaysia things are more fair. Though, it seems class discrimination and inequality dominates the entire world.
Regards - 12/14/2008 05:12:00 am
Does UUCA applicable to private universities or college like Nottingham, Monash, UCSI etc.??

If you want to keep your car safe and functional, you need to have the car battery inspected regularly. A car battery inspection ensures that your battery can hold the charge and start your car when you need it to. A simple inspection now may prevent an expensive car electrical repair bill. If you notice that the cables to your batteries are cracked or the terminals are corroded, the time has come for you to get your vehicle serviced by a mechanic.
Understanding Your Car Battery
Understanding the parts that make up your car battery is key to understanding what your mechanic will do during an effective inspection of your battery. Your battery is enclosed in a case. This case protects the battery from vibration and impact.
What Is Inside the Battery?
When you look on the top lid, you will see two terminals. One is positive, and one is negative. When looking inside the battery, you will find a mixture of sulfuric acid and water. You will also see positive and negative plates that are divided by a polyethylene separator. The plates are stacked into elements. There is a cast on strap connecting the elements to the terminal. This creates a solid electrical connection.
Leave the Inspection Work to Professionals
We do not advise you to open a battery case. We just wanted to give you an understanding of what is inside of it. This will help you understand what we are doing as we complete your car battery inspection. Leave the inspection work to professionals.
What Happens during an Automobile Battery Inspection?
An inspection of the battery only takes a few minutes. However, the peace of mind you will drive away with knowing that your battery is functioning well is priceless.
- We will examine the battery case. During this part of the check, we are looking for corrosion and will remove dust and debris. If we find cracks or leakage from the top of the battery case, we may recommend that you replace the battery.
- Next, we will look at the brackets. Again, we are looking for excessive corrosion. If found, it may show the battery needs to be replaced. If your battery is bouncing around as you drive, it will have a shorter life and could damage other parts of your vehicle.
- Now, we will review the battery terminals and posts and check if there is corrosion. If possible, our technicians will use a special cleaning solution to remove the corrosion as opposed to you needing to replace the battery.
- We will look for any loose cables and tighten them.
- We will inspect the fan belt to make sure it is tight. If your fan belt is loose, it can impede your battery's ability to recharge. If the fan belt is damaged or cracked, we may recommend that you replace it.
Don't Ignore Possible Battery Issues
Don't ignore battery issues. Get your battery checked according to the manufacturer's recommendations. If you don't get your battery checked regularly, you will find yourself making an expensive car electrical repair or stranded at the worst time and in the worst place.

Students from Dominican Republic to study energy at City Tech
An agreement signed this month by New York City College of Technology (City Tech) President Russell K.

He said, "It is vital to the Dominican Republic to invest in education and its promise of personal and social advancement. We are delighted to become part of the City Tech family."
Of the agreement, Hotzler said, "City Tech is pleased to be partnering with the Ministry for Youth of the Dominican Republic to provide instruction on state-of-the-practice green technology to visiting Dominican students. This project also serves to further the strong relationship between The City University of New York and the Dominican Republic."
The City Tech sustainable energy program will be run through the College's Division of Continuing Education and External Partnerships, and will take advantage of the considerable expertise the division has developed in green technologies.
Carol Sonnenblick, dean of the division, remarked, "We are delighted to be customizing and delivering a unique course that explores the theory and applications of emerging sustainable energy practices."
New York City College of Technology (City Tech) of The City University of New York (CUNY) is the largest public college of technology in New York State. Located at 300 Jay St. in Downtown Brooklyn, the college enrolls more than 16,000 students in 63 baccalaureate, associate and specialized certificate programs.

The Illusion of Choice
By Bernhard Guenther, November 5th, 2010
"I voted". I saw that update coming up a lot the other day on Facebook at election day, neatly put on a red/blue/white button. What is the underlying message of someone who posts that? To show that one is an upstanding American Citizen doing the "right thing" by executing one's right to vote? To feel good about oneself? To entice others to vote?
What strikes me as curious is that most of the people who had the "I voted" update never really post anything relevant to what deeper issues this country and the world faces in order to help spread awareness and understanding which could actually result in true change. Just this one day, all of a sudden: "I voted". Voted what? who? why? Of course I'm not implying that Facebook posts and updates are a real life reflection of what people do or don't do, but it still is an interesting observation. I'm also not saying that people don't have the right intention. But as the saying goes, "the path to hell is paved with good intentions". In a ponerized society with a corrupt political system, good intention, hope and voting don't result in positive change, but merely wishful thinking and denial.
Obama's election in 2008 should have taught that lesson, but many people still seem to be mesmerized and hypnotized by his persona, hype and slogans that they can't see him for who he is: a corporate puppet and just as big of a liar as his predecessor, if not worse. The last two years speak for themselves as he supports the same agendas as Bush, most of all the phony war on terror. How can it be that the masses are so easily duped?
"President Obama does one thing, and Brand Obama gets you to believe another. This is the essence of successful advertising – you buy or do what the advertiser wants, because of how they make you feel. He's a marketing dream, but like Calvin Klein or Benetton, he is a brand that promises something special, something exciting almost risqué, as if he might be radical. As if he might enact change. He makes people feel good, he's a postmodern man with no political baggage, and all that's fake."
– John Pilger
In regards to the latest election there is something else I noticed. I've seen more posts on Facebook about Prop.19 to legalize Marijuana (or not) here in California in the last days than posts on the anniversary of 9/11 to expose the biggest lie of the new millennium. A lie that has cost more lives and affects the world and us more than the issue about pot being legal or not. I'm not against pot being legalized, but it is interesting to see where people's attention and focus is.
So some of you have voted. May I ask you what you expected by casting your vote, besides focusing on propositions? That your favorite party gets more seats in the senate/house? Which side did you choose: left, right, blue or red or maybe some "independent" liberal party? What do you expect is going to change by casting your vote once or every two and four years?
Let me ask another way. What do you do the rest of the year? Where do you get your information from? How do you educate yourself about what is going on? What are you telling or would you tell your children and kids in general? What do you speak out about, when are you silent, what do you ignore? Do you really know who and what you support by voting? Do you question what you are being told, what you have learned in school and what society, official culture, government and the mainstream media is trying to make you believe?
Just some questions and food for thought. Questions I ask myself all the time. I'm not saying that any of you are not doing their best in their own ways and lives to make this world a better place. Most people's intention and heart is in the right place, but maybe there is more to consider, something we haven't honestly looked at?
"The American left is a phantom. It is conjured up by the right-wing to tag Barack Obama as a socialist and used by the liberal class to justify its complacency and lethargy. It diverts attention from corporate power. It perpetuates the myth of a democratic system that is influenced by the votes of citizens, political platforms and the work of legislators. It keeps the world neatly divided into a left and a right. The phantom left functions as a convenient scapegoat. The right-wing blames it for moral degeneration and fiscal chaos. The liberal class uses it to call for 'moderation.' The corporations that control mass communications conjure up the phantom of a left. They blame the phantom for our debacle. And they get us to speak in absurdities." – Chris Hedges
There are no free elections in this country. There hasn't been in a long time. The Voting System is a fraud sold to the public to give them the illusion of choice. The same goes for the two-party set-up. Democrats and Republicans. Back and forth. Two sides of the same coin. Despite popular belief we actually don't live in a democracy anymore. People are so caught up in this left/right tunnel vision that they don't see how they're being duped and played with.
Brent Kopenhaver Jr. also gives insight in his article "Your Vote Doesn't count", addressing some major issues and pointing out:
"Elections are nonsense. Not only are they nonsense – they serve to maintain an illusion that we still live in a free, democratic society."
The political system is an illusion to keep people in bondage. Most people fight to defend the very beliefs which are established by the controllers to keep them enslaved, just like Morpheus said in "The Matrix":
"You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it"
What I hear at times when I bring up the issue of control and manipulation is: "But I'm not enslaved, I'm free and can do what I want. That's the beauty of this great land of freedom!" Enslavement in this day and age is not by force or martial law. It's by the control of consciousness, by implementing beliefs and desires, forming your mind and behaviors to act and do a certain way, making you believe you are "free" and essentially keeping you complacent and distracted from Truth and the real issues this world faces. It certainly is not man-made Global Warming (one of those implemented beliefs to control/distract the masses) which so many Liberals like to focus on these days. Being "environmental conscious", "green", striving towards self-sustainability, permaculture, recycling, composting, driving a "Hybrid" car or planting veggies is not enough if we want true change. There are more pressing issues that cry for our attention and awareness.
Sometimes when I mention these points I'm being called a "conspiracy nut" and ridiculed by the ones who have "faith" in the system and believe themselves to be aware and conscious "good Americans" because they act with good intention and "love" when they cast their vote. However, there is no Love where there is no Truth. There is also no Love where there is Wishful Thinking. Love comes from Knowledge and Understanding, to see the world as it is and to see oneself as one is, not as one likes it to be.
"Give these people a voting day every year, so they have the illusion of meaningless choice. Meaningless choice, so we go like slaves and say "I voted". The limits of debate in this country are established before the debate even begins and everyone else is marginalized and made to be seen as "communists" or some sort of disloyal person…and now it's conspiracy [theorists]. You see they made that something that shouldn't be even entertained for a minute that powerful people might get together and have a plan. Doesn't happen. You're a nut case! You're a conspiracy buff!"- Geroge Carlin
The illusion of National Identification and Patriotism is also something that many people are chained to. As Krishnamurti said "Patriotism is a Disease". It keeps us separated just like religious identification and belief. The leaders of this country and the world couldn't care less about America and other nations. These beliefs are just part of the circus show to keep people confined. What rules the world are Transnational Corporations and other interests. Wars are also not fought for National Securities or Patriotism, but the lie of "Patriotism" (with its emotional attachment of "Pride") is being sold to the masses to follow without questioning.
"Flags are bits of colored cloth that governments use first to shrink-wrap people's brains and then as ceremonial shrouds to bury the dead." – Arundhati Roy
There is much information available to show the truth in these matters that need to be exposed before anything will change. Everything else is justre-arranging the surface or like staring at the shadows on the wall in Plato's allegory of The Cave.
– Reflections on Political Ponerology
Too many people hold the idea that psychopaths are essentially killers or convicts. The general public hasn't been educated to see beyond the social stereotypes to understand that psychopaths can be entrepreneurs, politicians, CEOs and other successful individuals who may never see the inside of a prison." – Dr. Robert Hare
This is just skimming the surface. There is more information, articles, essays, books, videos and research that examine each of the points I mentioned in-depth, much of it what others and I post on FB all the time. But who will actually make time and look into it? This is the age of fast food information, of twitter and quick Facebook updates, of texting, ADD and short attention spans. People are too busy with all kinds of trivialities in their lives. Most of them can't be even bothered to THINK and many are too concerned with themselves to keep an eye on the world. I know life is not easy at times and we do need to take care of ourselves. There is much to do, but "having no time" to look into these matters seems to be a quick excuse these days, especially considering how they affect us and the world at large on a daily basis. Truth can't be spoon-fed, nor will it be on Oprah anytime soon or neatly packaged in a five min. youtube clip. It is up to each of us to make an effort to seek Truth and speak out about it, even if it contradicts with our cherished long-held beliefs.
I had people saying that these "conspiracies" are "unwarranted claims", but the same people do not look into the evidence and research that is out there and so debunk something they haven't even looked into sincerely. There is an unconscious psychological protective mechanism that prevents people to face certain truths about the world and essentially about themselves, because the Truth will shatter much of what they believe in and they'd have to adjust their lives accordingly, most of all admitting to themselves that they have been believing in lies. Of course there is also the question of what "others" may think, peer pressure, friends, family, colleagues and so on. People don't want to "rock the boat". This is how the "matrix" protects itself and the "sheeple police the sheeple", so no ones steps out of line. But in the end only Truth will truly set us free and help us to embrace a brighter future for ourselves and our children. Denial and Avoidance will essentially backfire as it is already.
"The scientific discourse misses the fact that the ability to deny is an amazing human phenomenon, a product of sheer complexity of our emotional, linguistic, moral and intellectual lives. Denial is a complex unconscious defense mechanism for coping with guilt, anxiety and other disturbing emotions aroused by reality." – Stanley Cohen
There is another issue that come with voting in a corrupted system and believing in lies. On a deeper level (metaphysically speaking), by voting and by identifying yourself with a party (left or right) you actually give validity to the corrupt system, two-party set-up and essentially your "permission" to keep it in place. In a sense you actually give up your "free will" by believing in lies (taking the false for the true and the true for the false) and supporting them with your "vote". It's how the "matrix" works and keeps itself in place: By the consensus of the people believing in it and supporting it through their actions and beliefs.
No matter how good a lie sounds, how good it feels or what "positive" effect it may have (wishful thinking), there are metaphysical repercussions that affect everyone and the whole world "negatively" and actually feed entropy, essentially keeping the false system and control in place by giving it "energy", regardless if the people who support/believe lies (unknowingly or not) are very loving, positive and mean well. In a sense by voting and buying into the illusion of "free choice" people tend to do more "harm" than any "good".
The exact opposite of what we're being told ("Rock the Vote!") and have been conditioned to believe. Obviously it's not about just not voting and doing nothing. It's about gaining Knowledge and educating ourselves and see the "fraud" and the lies for what they are. Then we Know what to DO and most importantly what NOT to do. The more people engage in seeking Truth and work together in that regard, the better the chance that reality (as a Whole) will change for the "better", because we DO create our own reality but it's not as simple as portrayed in the many distorted New Age "You Create Your Own Reality" bits. This is a topic on its own, getting more into the realm of Esoterica, Quantum Mechanics and Metaphysics. This article touches upon that issue a little bit: Order Out of Chaos
"Illusion, thinking it is reality, takes reality for illusion" – Boris Mouravieff, Gnosis
One of the questions I've been asked is what do I suggest we DO if we don't vote?
Well, what an interesting question, which reflects how we've been conditioned with basically only two options to choose from (left or right). I'm in no position to tell anyone what to do. I can give some suggestions and food for thought, but eventually the drive to seek to truth and act upon it, living life beyond personal interests but with awareness of the bigger picture needs to come from oneself.
Having said that, here are some suggestions:
1. The most important part is to gain Self-Knowledge and work on oneself to become a better person and "be the change". I touched upon that in the blog "Know Thyself". Self-Knowledge and Self-Work is also needed to truly understand the world "out there". We are all works in process and all there is are lesson, but there needs to be effort to cut through our conditioning. It doesn't happen by itself. It's about conscious evolution.
"The change must begin with the human being, not with the outward structure. The human being is confused, the human being is conditioned. He believes, and therefore there is a contradiction in himself. He is really, deeply confused and if he wants to change the social structure, the change from confusion only breeds more confusion. Whereas, if he could bring about clarity within himself, and from that clarity act, then such an action is really a deep psychological revolution. That revolution is absolutely necessary." ~Jiddu Krishnamurti
2. Educate yourself and seek Information and Knowledge outside the realm of official culture and mainstream media. Question everything!
3. Turn off your TV. As a matter of fact, get rid of it. Create a meditation space there instead. This article gives some insight of how watching TV modifies and programs (literally) our behaviors, desires, beliefs and even is detrimental to your health: Want Better Health? Stop Watching Television…For Good .
Take care of your health with exercise, yoga, qi gong, meditation, massage, breathwork, healthy diet (stay away from gluten, wheat, dairy, sugar), spending time in nature, etc… . The body and mind are one. What you eat and how you live has an effect on how you think and feel.
4. Network and talk about these topics to friends and family or new people you meet. Don't be afraid to speak up. Awareness is the first step to change, Of course it is not about preaching or forcing one's view on another, but about raising Awareness and "pushing the envelope", spreading some "seeds" here and there if appropriate. There is a time to talk and a time to be silent, but not falling into Complacency, Conformity, Self-Importance, Anger or Rage. Meet on a regular basis with a group of like-minded people, so you can get feedback and keep each other "awake", discussing these issues, creating community based on Truth, Knowledge and essentially Love. Together we're stronger.
"Cowardice asks the question:"Is it safe"?
Expediency asks the question:"Is it politic"?
Vanity asks the question:"Is it popular?"
But conscience asks the question:"Is it right?"
And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular
but one must take it because one's conscience tells one what is right."
– Martin Luther King
5. Blogging and using Social Networks to spread awareness and information. Facebook and other sites can be great tools to raise awareness and network beyond just talking about oneself, how much you love life or what you had for breakfast. We can keep each other informed and provide better and more insightful news than the mainstream media.
These are just some suggestions. More can be done and each of us should look deeply into oneself, of how one is being honest with oneself, others and the world at large. Everyone can do something to raise awareness and make this world a better place, each according to his/her unique talents that go beyond immediate self-gratification or self-interest that keeps one in a subjective tunnel vision. However this also entail questioning what we believe to be true or not and not mistake objectivity for negativity or wishful thinking for positivity.
The future is not set in stone. It all depends on each of us. The more people wake up to truth and see the world as it is, not as we "like" it to be, the better for all. Awareness creates change, not simply "positive thinking", visualizing or meditating on "peace. Providing solutions without first getting a better understanding of ourselves and what is truly going on in the world can be self-defeating in the long run. Discernment is needed and separating truth from lies, within and without. This higher awareness then results in action that will have lasting positive results and not just change of "appearances".
There is much we'll have to come to terms with before true change can happen. Let's not miss the opportunity during this "Time of Transition". There is work to do, but it's what we signed up for.

One of the necessary tools a night (or landscape) photographer must have in their tool bag is a decent weather forecasting tool. Though I've been known to ignore the forecast for some events, like an Annular Solar Eclipse, I definitely am more inclined to go where the weather is clearer (Nevada) than where it will be cloudy (Crescent City, CA).
A forecast like this despite how detailed it seems to be is all but useless to me:
This is the hourly forecast. The "daily forecast" is less helpful. How partly is partly cloudy? And how mostly is mostly cloudly? Other sites sometimes just say "sunny" during the day and give no idea what night will be like. Compare the above with the Weather.gov forecast from NOAA.
NOAA to the Rescue (no Ark)
Fortunately the US National Weather Service provides a nicely detailed "click point" forecast with charts of the hour-by-hour conditions.
There is quite a lot to take in here but it's all good stuff. The "partly cloudy" at 7PM shows as 72% cloudy (Sky Cover) on weather.gov. Not only are the forecasts different, but I get more useful numbers. It looks like the wind will be very gusty during parts of the day. But the humidity won't be so severe that dew will form. If it weren't for the mostly cloudy skies, night photography might work out ok.
Where do you find this great tool. Start here: http://weather.gov
Once you get to the forecast, look for a small graphic on the right under "Additional Resources". But that, my friend, is where the good stuff is. Before you rush off on the hourly thing, though, take a look at the little map window.
You can get a forecast for any specific area by clicking on the map! So, for example clicking on the summit of Mission Peak (just off the screen to the north) may give you a significantly different forecast – one that is adjusted for the difference caused by altitude.
Do remember that these are "forecasts" not actualities, so be prepared for whatever may happen.
Wunderground Classic
I used to use Weather Underground. Then they changed it so that the good stuff was only in "Classic". But really, no need to use it at all any more.
May the wind not be at your back or in your face, may the road not be muddied by rain and may the clouds gather only when you really want them i.e. at sunrise and sunset.
