About 40,000 U.S. manufacturing plants had been closed between 2001 and 2008 and that had resulted loss millions of good paying jobs in U.S.A. Out of this, between 2001 and 2007, U.S lost 2.3 million jobs due to huge trade deficit with China alone. It is has been beleaguered by many obstacles. The reputation of the industry has been marred by poor wages, lack of proper working conditions, and quality control issues. The condition is becoming more grave because the global manufacturing companies have a better opportunity to capture a share of the growth in developing economies. The retardation is continuing since 2008 with further slowdown in manufacturing segment and has triggered legitimate concern for U.S. It is worthwhile to mention that when this segment was at peak during 1970s, it accounted for around 20 million jobs—which is now barely at 11 million. In spite of all these, U.S. still ranks first in the world in manufacturing value added, and it was the third-largest exporter of manufactured goods to the world in 2009.
Some key facts we should know about manufacturing sector in the United States, are:
The manufacturers' contribution to U.S economy rose to $1.87 trillion (11.9% of GDP) in 2012 from $1.73 trillion in 2011. For every $1.00 spent in manufacturing, adds another $1.48 to the economy as per Bureau of Economic Analysis. It is the highest multiplier effect among all economic sectors.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (2013) suggests that manufacturing sector supports an estimated 17.2 million jobs in the United States, which amounts to about 60% of all U.S export. About 9% of U.S workforce which is a figure around more than 12 million Americans is employed here and it is about one in six private-sector jobs.
In 2012 as per Bureau of Economic Analysis, the average earning of manufacturing worker in the United States including all benefits was $77,505 per annum which was far above the all industry average of $62,063. The real truth behind the fact is, it pays pretty good wages even to less-educated and less-efficient workers.
American manufacturers perform two-thirds of all private-sector R&D in the nation and contribute most innovative ideas than any other sector. That means that U.S. advanced manufacturing industries are the major site of U.S. private-sector R&D and it is the critical hotbed of future innovation and trade competitiveness.
As per Bureau of Economic Analysis, taken alone, manufacturing in the United States would be the 10th largest economy in the world.
The Challenges
The United States has many problems in the manufacturing sector. However, they can be summarized under four broad head which are mentioned below:
The Revolution In Information Technology,
The Nation's Chronic Deficits &
Its Pattern Of Energy Consumption.
In a report in 2011, The National Association of Manufacturers" (NAM) Manufacturing Institute has indicated that 82% of manufacturers have a moderate or serious shortage of skilled production workers. And over 600,000 jobs or 5% of all manufacturing jobs are lying vacant as no qualified talent is available. Furthermore, 2.7 million employees are over 55 years of age who are likely to leave the workforce within a couple of years.
There is no doubt that manufacturing jobs have been lost in the U.S. over the past decades because some were displaced by technology, some lost to the offshoring—shifting to other lower cost, lower wage countries like China, many economists are expecting a resurgence or a manufacturing turnaround in the U.S—some due to reduced energy costs, some due to more favorable costs but more of it due to the virtues of an educated workforce and application of advanced technology.

There was music blaring out in the back of the house somewhere – 'Jump Around'…
From Work of Art
So for a party scene in the early nineties I had to include 'Jump Around' as it became one of the iconic tracks of the decade. This was helped by its inclusion in the Caffreys ad.
I remember buying their first dvd on the back of 'Jump Around' but all the rest of it was basically superfluous. They put out three albums during the 90s before breaking up, however they remained basically a one-hit wonder. But what a hit!

Core Pacific City, also known as the Living Mall is a shopping center in Taipei, Taiwan, and has a total floor space of 204,190 square meters. Built in 2001, the structure is a complex of two buildings - an L-shaped building which contains specialty boutiques connected to a sphere which contains the Mira Department Store.
The complex consists of 12 above-ground stories and 7 underground levels. When it first opened, the mall was open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As one of the first of several large-scale malls in Taiwan, Core Pacific's planners expected it to change local consumer behavior to Western-style one-stop shopping. During the mall's development and construction, it was touted as the World's first truly 24 hour mall and Asia's first "city within a city" complex. Core Pacific's total 19 story height is attributed to Taiwan's extremely expensive land costs.

WINCHESTER -- Martinsburg was so dominant in its 61-14 win over Handley on Saturday afternoon that even Bulldogs coach Dave Walker was shocked.
"I'm kind of speechless right now," Walker said. "I'm very surprised. Handley's got a good football team. We played extremely well."
The Bulldogs (3-0) completely dominated the game from start to finish. Martinsburg had 428 yards of total offense. The Bulldogs held the Judges to 98 yards of total offense, and only four first downs in the game.
Handley was able to force Martinsburg into a punt on its first drive, but it would be the last by the Bulldogs until late in the game.
On the Bulldogs' second possession, they used seven plays to go 78 yards for the first score of the game.
Martinsburg quarterback Brandon Ashenfelter connected with Cedric Brown for a 19-yard touchdown pass with 5:18 left in the first quarter.
The Judges (1-2) were able to keep things close for most of the first half. The Bulldogs needed only two plays to score their second touchdown. A 15-yard pass from Ashenfelter to Brown set up a 36-yard touchdown run by Justin Arndt with 4:33 left in the opening half.
That's when things began to unravel for the Judges. Handley quarterback Harrison Bayliss was intercepted by Darian Patterson at the Handley 45 with 3:58 left in the first half. Four plays later, Ashenfelter threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to David Long to give the Bulldogs a 21-0 lead with 2:40 left in the half.
On Handley's next play, a bad snap led to Bayliss being tackled in the end zone for a safety, and giving the Bulldogs a 23-0 lead.
However, the Judges seemed to get a lift when senior Jawaun Goynes intercepted a Ashenfelter pass and returned it 38 yards for a touchdown. It cut the lead to 23-7 with 2:20 left in the half, and it was the first points the Bulldogs had allowed all season.
"That was definitely good," Handley senior Derek Dowrey said. "But, we didn't capitalize on the momentum."
Martinsburg responded quickly. The Bulldogs needed only two plays to score again. Martinsburg's Chris Perkins ran for 60 yards to the Handley 4. Arndt ran it in on the next play to give Martinsburg a 30-7 lead with 1:56 left. After a three-and-out by Handley, Ashenfelter connected with Justin Clinton for a 45-yard touchdown and a 37-7 lead with 1:13 left in the opening half.
"I think Handley had pretty good coverage today," Walker said. "I think our receivers just made some great catches."
On the next to last play of the first half, Handley suffered another big blow when Bayliss suffered a head injury. Bayliss was helped off the field and taken to the hospital during halftime.
Things continued to snowball for the Judges in the second half as the Bulldogs built the lead to 61-7. Walker did show some mercy on the Judges by electing to kick a field goal on first down. Martinsburg's Tyler Dehaven hit the field goal from 37 yards out to end the Bulldogs' scoring.
Walker said he felt like they needed to work on their kicking game. Dehaven had been 0-for-3 before making that kick, and he never expected or wanted to score over 60 against Handley.
The Judges finally scored another touchdown when freshman Will Dearing connected with Kyrell Davis for a 10-yard touchdown pass with 4:11 left in the game.
Handley coach Tony Rayburn had only comment after the game.
"We're bad, and we've got to get better," he said.

Why Dogs Help With PTSD
-From Psychology Today
Many of our military personnel returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been traumatized by their experiences in the warzones. While the majority struggle with their experiences, most will not go on to develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD is an anxiety disorder that develops as a result of a traumatic experience and involves symptoms of vigilance (i.e., being extra alert and aware of surroundings); numbness (i.e., having difficulty feeling emotions), and re-experiencing (i.e., flashbacks and nightmares).

Is suicide awareness a topic that is being neglected too much? Or is it tabooed for "PC Reasons"? When is enough enough?
In Australia, the ABC Tv Station recently ran a story on the subject of suicide awareness and a side-story on narcotics contribution. The show was nearly prevented from going to air because of "sensitivity and political correctness" concerns which ended up involving the High Courts. As someone who was suffered suicidal depression and lost family members to suicide, I find the "tabooing" of the subject wrong. In Australia, for example, newspapers are not allowed to report suicides as such: for censorship reasons they MUST be reported as "unsuspicious circumstances" - severe fines apply. Psychologists/Psychiatrists are not allowed to use the word around patients or patients' families for concerns best known to whoever decided on that regulation. And a similar story regarding depression, which in Australia affects 4 out of every 5 males and 1 out of every 3 females.
So when does this negligence and political correctness become overly excessive? Why is it that despite the growing suicide rate (which stands worldwide currently of one person every 30s), people are not prepared to try and do anything. In England ad campaigns are run to raise awareness: but IS THIS ENOUGH? How to we stop something when we cannot even mention it in conversation? Are we complicit as a silent community trying to avoid "that which must not be named"? How do we try and turn this situation around?

Sep 23 2012: Depression and suicide will not be solved with ad campaigns.
Our social and economic models see the people as consumers or producers, just a resource waiting to be harnessed. In my opinion, this is a modern slavery model.
It will be solved with people like you that really care for others.

Bloggers are signed up—and we're ready to play Recipe Telephone! (Wanna play?) Our game is similar to playing "telephone" when you were a kid—you'd start with one message, it would pass from person to person and come out hilariously different at the end. We're doing the same thing with a recipe, starting with Roast Chicken from Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking by Nathalie Dupree and Cynthia Graubart. Each player will take the recipe they're given, change it (there's rules), and pass it on.
Our first player is Sheri Castle—look for her recipe on her blog on Wednesday, November 21, and look for a new recipe by different blogger every Wednesday. Here's the recipe she's starting with—and below, a list of our players and dates when you can follow the next recipe in the game.
Co-author Cynthia Graubart will use the recipes in her "Keep the Creative Juices Flowing: Writing Memorable Recipes" session at FoodBlogSouth 2013. And the recipes will be printed in a chapbook that will be sold to raise funds for the Desert Island Supply Company.
Players, start your ovens… and have fun!
Roast Chicken
Serves 4
The easiest way to roast chicken is to rub the skin with butter or oil, throw it into a hot or cold oven, roast it at 425 or so until the meat hits 165 degrees, and pull it out and eat it. I do this when life is frantic. But a perfectly roasted chicken is another question altogether. A perfect roasted chicken has a crisp skin, a moist, tender breast, drumsticks and thighs that are so flavorful they make one want to jump up and down in praise, and a backbone with its "oysters" there for the discerning (I've always called it "the cook's treat"). I'm fondest of small chickens, but this method works for up to a 5-pound chicken, as well as for Cornish hens, adjusting the roasting times accordingly and cooking until the thickest part of the leg registers 165 degrees on a meat thermometer.
1 (2 1⁄ 2–3 1⁄ 2 pound) whole chicken
2 tablespoons oil or melted butter, cook's preference
3 or 4 sprigs rosemary, thyme or marjoram
1 lemon, pricked all over with a fork
4 carrots, peeled, optional
2 cups chicken stock or broth, optional
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
If a crispy skin is imperative, leave chicken uncovered in the refrigerator overnight to dry the skin. If possible, remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. If the chicken is cold when placed in the oven, it will take longer to cook.
Carefully insert a few fingers under the skin of the chicken wherever it seems willing to part with the flesh, to burst the membrane attaching the skin to the flesh. The skin will collapse against the flesh and will become crisper when cooked. Take special care to keep the skin intact when at the breast and going in from the backbone to the thigh and leg. (In Ethiopia and some other countries, this is done by blowing air in with a reed or straw.)
Gently brush the outside of the chicken with the oil or melted butter. Insert rosemary, thyme or marjoram and the lemon in the cavity. Move the carrots to a roasting pan just larger than the chicken and place in a crosswise fashion to create a rack that will keep the chicken slightly elevated to aid in browning the skin on the sides. Move the chicken on top of the carrots. Add a bit of stock to the pan to keep the juices from burning.
Roast breast side up until the skin begins to brown (35 to 40 minutes). Turn the chicken breast side down with tongs or two large spoons, and continue baking 15 to 20 minutes to brown the bottom skin. Turn the chicken again breast side up and continue to cook until the thickest part of the leg measures 165 degrees on a meat thermometer. Remove from oven and turn upside down to let the juices run to the breast and rest 10 minutes before carving (facing). The temperature of the meat will continue to rise as it rests.
Discard the carrots. Add the stock to the juices in the pan and bring to the boil, stirring to get all the goodness off the bottom and sides of the pan. Let boil down until loosely thickened. Skim off
any undesired fat and pour into a gravy boat and, serve with the chicken.

"Why did she leave us?" I asked. It was the question I've wanted to know throughout my childhood. I always wondered why I didn't have a mother. "I can't tell you that. Unless you promise me something" "Anything" I simply offered. "No, you have to know what your doing. This is serious. You've never done this in your life before. Most people's never done that before. It's really easy to change people's lives that way. It's really dangerous and risky" he warned. "I'd do anything to learn more about my mother. No one tells me these things. I've been having nightmares just about every night. Somethings bothering me. I need to know about my mother. How do you know her?"
"She's eight years older than I am and your father's a year older than your mom. My parents and your grandparents were great friends. So when I was younger, your mother would babysit me. I'd use to have these fantasies of your mother. She was a very beautiful girl at sixteen. She was the beautiful tanned skin blonde girl that every guy wanted. But when she took a vacation to Chicago one summer, she came back in love with your dad. She'd sit there and tell me all about him. Oh he was the perfect guy for her and I'd sit there and be jealous of her mystery Chicago guy" he kept telling me these stories of my mother and father. It was nice to finally know something. We talked for what seem like hours. He told me all about his childhood in Missouri with my mom. I'm glad I met him.
I was already seated next to Christopher talking a bit about my childhood. He seems to be interested in what I have to say. He listened to every single thing and asked questions or made comments about them. I told him about the dreams, my insecurities, and my trust issues. We were still talking when we were interupted. "Carly, I've been looking all over for you. Why are you here? Mrs. Horgan sent me to look for you, let's go to class" I looked over at Gary. "Gary, I got some business to take care of" I said. "No, your coming with me" he walked over to me. "Gary don't" I warned. "Carly, why are you being like this?"
"Being like what?" "Since we broke up, you've been ignoring me" he said sadly. "Gary, can we not talk about this now?" I begged. "Oh so you don't want to talk about our past relationship in front of this young man here?" he refered to Christopher. "I'm 34 kid" Christopher said. "Oh but isn't that like rape?" Gary said disrespectfully. I call it jealousy. "Gary, can you get out of here? We have things to take care of. My whole futures being planned out. Oh my musical career. I'd like you to leave so I can talk about my future" I told him harshly. He just left.
"I'm sorry" I apologized. "He's your ex?" "Yeah" "Anyways I want to talk about the promise" he continued on. "Alright" "So do you believe in time traveling?" he asked. "Not really. I've seen stupid movies and stuff but no" I responded honestly. "Well this is going to be harder than I thought" he sighed. "I can believe it if you want me to. I'll go and do whatever I can to find out about my mother" I said. "Alright, be right back" he went backstage to get something. He came back out with a box and key in hand. "This is a box" he announced. "No shit" I mumbled. "No this is a special one" he handed the box and key to me.
"Do not open it until you think the time is right" he warned. "When is the right time?" I asked. "Whenever your ready to go on a journey to meet your mother" he answered. "So now?" "Nope, when you get home, think about it" he said, packing his things. "Go back to class now" then the bell rang. "What time is it?" I looked at the clock. It's already 2:30. "School ended" I squealed. "Need a ride home?" he asked. "Nope Matthew's going to pick me up" I answered. "Alright, have a nice day. I'm looking forward to seeing you again" "Yeah same" then I left the auditorium. When I got outside, my cell phone rang.
"Uncle Matt?" "Carly sweetie, I have a issue with my car. It broke down two minutes ago" he said apologetically. "It's fine, I'll take the school bus" I said. "Alright but I still apologize" "See you later" "Yeah see you" when I hung up, Gary appeared beside me. "I'll drop you home" he offered. "Nope thanks, I'll take the bus" I shrugged. "Carly please just let me drop you home" he begged. Why can't Gary get over me already? I knew that I shouldn't have gotten into a relationship with Gary. This is the result. Him basically stalking me. "I'm taking the bus" I repeated. "I don't want you to take the bus" he said. "It's none of your business what automobile I want to ride on"
"I just don't want you on the bus" Gary pouted. "Then I'll drop her home then" we both turned to Christopher Drew standing there with his arms folded. "Yeah" I walked to his side. "But I don't trust you with this stranger" Gary protested. "Compared to him, your the stranger Gary. I know who he is. He's closer to me than you are" I followed Christopher to his car, ignoring Gary. "Your boyfriend's such a pain in the ass" Chris said when we got inside his car. "Since we broke up, he's been like this"
"Your a beautiful woman, it's hard for anyone to let you go" he said. I guess that's a compliment. Do I say thanks? If I did, would he think I'm hitting on him? There's no way I'm hitting on a man in his 30's. But he makes a good friend and a easy person to talk to. "Don't tell your father that I was here" he said when we got to my house. "Sure thing" I got out, clutching the box close to me. "Bye" he waved. I waved back and walked back to my house. "Hey dad" I walked pass my dad. "Hello Carly, how was school today?" he asked. "Really good" "Where's your bookbag? Why are you holding a box?" he refered to the magic box in my hand. "My music teacher gave it to me" I answered. "How's the audition. Matthew told me about it" "It's good"
"That's great" he beamed at me. Even in his forties, my dad's a gorgeous man. I wonder if he was a chick magnet when he was younger. He probably was. But he chose my mom out of all the chicks. "Hey dad?" I started. "Carly?" "Were you from Chicago?" "Of course I was. I still am?" he laughs. "Okay then um... Was mom from Chicago?" he bit his lips and looked away. "She's from Missouri" he answered. At least he's not pushing me away. "Was she beautiful?" "Yes she was. You look just like her, beautiful" he looked really uncomfortable but I appreciate him for talking about this. "So how did you guys meet?"
"Carly is this really the right time?" "Dad, I've always wanted to know about my own mother. Can't you just tell me a little about her. I just want the general idea" I begged. "Okay fine. I guess it's about time we talk about this" he said. "Tell me" "So I was seventeen and your mom was sixteen. I was stuck in Chicago for the summer vacation. I wasn't very happy since everyone was going somewhere else for vacation. But that day I was playing soccer at the beach with some of my friends. I kicked a ball so far that my friends made me go get the ball myself"
"I complained but I went to get the ball anyways. I was looking all over for it until your mom spoke up. She said 'looking for this?' and I told her I was. She said the ball hit her head really hard and I laughed. She said it wasn't funny and I apologized. I then asked her what she was doing here which was a really stupid question. She said she's tanning" my dad laughed. "And then?" "Then I asked her out because she was beautiful. I wanted to get to know her. She was here for her summer break but we made the best out of the summer vacation together. Then after that, either I come over to visit her or she comes to visit me in the summer or during break sometimes"
"That's the best love story I ever heard" I cooed. "No it's not" "Yeah it is" "Anyways, are you happy now?" he crossed his arms. "Yeah I am. But what happened?" my dad gulped and looked at me seriously. "I did something bad" was all he said. I didn't ask him any further because he looked like he was about to cry. "Okay thanks for talking to me dad, I'll be upstairs" I said. He just nodded. I walked to my room and lay on my bed. I was thinking about the new found discovery that I found today. How could this one day change my life? I kept thinking about the box that Christopher gave me. I wonder what it was. Why was it so magical? I guess there's only one way to find out.
I walked up to my attic with the box and key. I held my breath as I unlocked the box with the key. I opened it and something purple and shiny was inside. I felt the urge to touch it. When I touched it, everything blanked out and I was somewhere else.

Mangrove training workshop set for Florida, USA, 2007
"Mangrove Forest Ecology, Management and Restoration" training workshop, March 5-8, 2007, Hollywood, Florida.
The fifth "Mangrove Forest Ecology, Management and Restoration" training workshop will be held at the Anne Kolb Nature Center, in Hollywood, Florida, USA, March 5-8, 2007. The training site is within a 500 ha mangrove restoration project at West Lake Park operated by Broward County. The award-winning project was designed by Roy R. "Robin" Lewis III, who will be teaching the course.
The workshop includes an introduction to mangrove forest ecology, management options and problems, and restoration design issues. The class programs are all given in a PowerPoint format, and each student is provided with a print out of the presentation and additional handouts including monitoring reports for typical restoration projects. Case studies of 5 successful mangrove restoration projects, and several unsuccessful projects, are discussed. Field trips are taken within the 500 ha West Lake Park mangrove restoration project (now 17 years old) and a new project just four years old, for a comparison.
The emphasis is on cost-effective successful mangrove management and restoration, and cost figures for typical projects are discussed and explained. The hydrologic restoration of mangroves is emphasized as the best approach to successful restoration at minimal cost (see Erftemeijer and Lewis 2000; Lewis 1999, 2000a, 2000b, 2005; Lewis and Marshall 1998; Lewis and Streever 2000; Lewis et al. 2005, Stevenson et al. 1999; and Turner and Lewis 1997, for further discussion about hydrologic restoration of mangroves). Planting of mangroves is discussed in light of the many failures of this alone to successfully restore mangroves.
Cost for the course not including travel to Ft. Lauderdale, lodging or food is $750, due by January 1, 2007. Two qualified students will be allowed to attend for free, and can apply at any time for the two fee-waived positions. This course is organized by the Coastal Resources Group, Inc., and will be taught in conjunction with the Mangrove Action Project (www.earthisland.org/map).

Fail: Trying to sue a belief – Scientology in France
I've always tried to keep this blog on topic about amazing photography and great graffiti that I've spotted around as I visit different parts of my city or different cities. But every so often (like here) I blow a gasket and go totally off topic.
Recently there's been a court case against Scientology in France. I don't know all the details of the case and frankly I don't care. What's fantastically annoying though is how people try to sue someone's belief. OK so they're saying they are suing someone in particular and try to cripple the organization or something like this, WTF?! Don't they realize that they're going after that nebulous thing called a belief? How are they planning to "remedy" that.
Some people (myself included) believe that the principles of Scientology are correct and that they work and we feel we're better off because of them. Millions of people feel that way, unfortunately it's still a very minority religion but we're pretty happy about our religion. Some people came to Scientology were not happy with what they got felt upset about having donated what they donated and left. They requested to get their donations refunded to them. They got their donations back. Yet they then go off and sue for some "damage" done to them.
OK let's discuss the damage. Scientology is about the spirit (thetan in Scientology terms) and making the individual more aware and more capable of managing their life. So far aside from a donation made by the person there's no material effect. Then after a certain number of days/hours in receiving counselling they claim it didn't work and they want their donations refunded. OK that happens and they leave. Obviously someone in the Church messed up since that's not supposed to happen. But we're not perfect and it can happen. So wait, now they said they had damage? what damage? they don't believe they're a thetan and they've been talking to a minister in counselling how damaging is that? Duress? give me a break – the biggest duress a Scientologist has to face is the amount of physical pressure he has to face when squeezing the cans of the e-meter. And I'll let you find out how much pressure that is.
All right now next someone will say it's the "mental pressure" OK, so let's even assume there is such a thing. Then why in the world does the person stay and take it in. I mean we're free people aren't we? Just walk the heck out. If someone comes to your door and is trying to sell you something you're not interested in what are you going to do? Tell them to get lost and if you don't have the courage to do that you'll listen and tell them you'll think about it.
Now another point that I see coming up is how Scientology is putting tremendous pressure on the plaintiffs and witnesses to stop talking. What pressure one may think? I'd think of stuff like in the movies, bullies with lead pipes coming to see them in dark alleys. I wouldn't be quite comfortable with that if I was a witness or plaintiff. But no, the tremendous pressure Scientology is putting on them is just negotiating a settlement – a financial settlement. Wow how tough is that, receive a cheque – I can feel the sweat running off my forehead already. What are they talking about? And isn't it written in the bible to settle out of court? I think any lawyer will advise one to settle a case out of court.
Oh and then there's the classical little comment about how Scientology undermines family. Actually I've done a little more study on that, because I've seen families not doing too well and so I went to dig a little further with both sides (not just my family) real families. You see I've always had a really close relationship with my family even though they aren't Scientologists. I respect that they don't agree with my views and they respect mine, we actually get along really well. So I wondered why some aren't.
What's odd is that in EVERY case where I noticed there was a problem, that problem existed way before Scientology, I've checked many and I repeat EVERY case had a problem way before they got into Scientology. If anything in Scientology if it turns out that someone has a crap relationship with their non-Scientologist family one is informed that until that is handled the person will not be going further on their counselling.
It's the firm belief that in Scientology one can't live entirely for one-self or entirely for Scientology or entirely for something else. There has to be a balance of self, family, group, humanity etc – someone who is working ONLY to save the population and isn't taking care of himself and his family isn't going to be at it for long.
So about Scientology breaking up families, it's just wrong. Like totally wrong. If anything is forces them back together. Of course saying that Scientology takes the kids away is an awesome headline, it's also a huge lie. Unfortunately those two regularly go together.
One last thing to those who still think taking Scientology to court or any other action will actually stop them, it wont. You're up against a belief, those that believe will always find a way to re-group.
It took a little less than a decade for freedom to break through the iron curtain, in the end it'll always break through.
I'll end with a famous quote that is attributed to Voltaire but which he never wrote (maybe he just said it) and which many people could learn from:
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
There you go my utterly off-topic rant about the current BS happening against Scientology.
Cheers. [;-]
Kouka 7-story building Graffiti in Paris
I haven't posted in a long time for various reasons, one of which is that I just haven't really come across anything fantastic in terms of graffiti in the last few month (but OK let me be totally honest, I haven't been on the lookout either). But that all changed some weeks ago when I saw this building near Place de la Republique in Paris.
Kouka, who does some very artistic street art mainly of African people, has done an exceptional job of making a very ugly building into a work of art. Covering every single window with a hand painted African tribesmen.
That is 77 different graffitis artistically rendered on this, probably, abandoned building. I don't know if it was done legally or not, but in any case these amzing graffitis definitely made the building a lot nicer!
Hoping to see more great stuff in the coming weeks, and if I do I will definitely be posting about it.
The original Amazing Photographer – Ansel Adams
As far as I'm concerned the original Amazing Photographer still is Ansel Adams. That HDR technique now makes millions of people into great photographers is maybe because Ansel Adams one day decided to take those fascinating landscapes that seemed to have an extra dimension.
I was stunned when I saw Jean Michel Berts' photography some years ago as it so reminded me of the work from Ansel Adams – I saw how HDR has become a great (and oft overused) tool for photography as well.
Well I wanted to pay homage to an amazing photographer with some amazing prints. This is Ansel Adams' "Tetons and Snake River" print from 1942! Can you believe that – 1942 and he was already making these types of high quality prints.
Well for more information on him I suggest the family owned site at http://www.anseladams.com/ which also has the above print for sale on this link: http://www.anseladams.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1958
Well enjoy a bit of love and beauty.
Stencil's from PITR in Paris
Always on the lookout for an amazing photo or graffiti piece, I see a lot of crap every day. Most of it should be forbidden, well maybe it is already. In any case I shoot quite a bunch of it. But not too much of it makes it to my blog.
This one from PITR was an exception. The technical quality of the stencil is something to behold. And the clean placement on this electrical box actually enhances it's look.
I don't have much into on who Pitr is, I saw that there is a collection of stuff from him here: http://fiveprime.org/hivemind/Tags/pitr which is a collection of images from Flickr.
And I found an amazing collection of Stencil Graffiti photos by imagestoliveby, check out her blog post here: http://imagestoliveby.wordpress.com/2010/06/11/refiguring-the-walls-of-paris/
Well see you soon, it's great to be back (again). [;-]
Zombie Stencil and Spray Graffiti
I saw this piece as I went to visit a friend not too long ago in the suburbs of Paris. The detail is pretty cool and even though I don't quite understand the theme I was (what does a light bulb man have to do with a bunch of Zombies) I quite liked it for the technical aspect.
Don't know who made these, if someone knows the name do let me know. They are located in Vitry-sur-Seine in the south east suburb of Paris.
The best collection of Amazing HDR photography
I haven't been posting much since a while, well I have been around and have been collecting up bits and pieces of information on some amazing graffiti stuff I've seen and also some amazing photos.
I've come to get quite excited about the HDR photography. You may have seen some of my posts on this, you can check them out on the link here: http://marcozna.wordpress.com/category/amazing-photography/ many of them are HDR (not all) but HDR is a category that I find quite fascinating.
There are lots of sites that propose "40 amazing HDR photographs" or other selections. I love those selection – but what I like the most is HDRspotting.com – it's a constantly growing list of "Amazing HDR photographs" which is like a daily source of beauty.
I strongly recommend it.
And as a totally different subject on the amazing graffity side of things, I saw the comment from Timothy Becker about the Dolk stencil graffiti he spotted. It's a great piece, quite large – and as usual a witty, twisted message. Thanks Dolk! and Thanks Timothy for sharing. Here's the post by urbansetting: http://urbansetting.wordpress.com/2010/05/18/spotted-dolk-on-metropolitan-union/
Here is the image:
cheers, and I hope to be posting more frequently. [;-]
Amazing Photography in HDR
With the arrival of the digital equipment (Internet, Cameras, Processing Software and more) Photography seems to be expanding as a subject and more people can afford it. With HDR photography (High Dynamic Range) suddenly a lot more people are able to make amazing stuff.
Jean-Michel Berts still uses film, per my understanding from his site he uses a technique similar to that of Ansel Adams which is the technique prior to HDR but with a similar concept. Serge Ramelli's photography is great too and he definitely uses HDR.
Now I have been following the site of Martin Soler's Photo Blog as well which I find interesting too (though nothing like Trey Ratcliff's site at http://www.stuckincustoms.com) and it's great to see the new photographers coming up.
I guess there's an artist in every one of us.
Cheers [;-]

For healthy, natural colour, nothing beats blusher. However it tends to be overused. Powder Blusher is typically best for oily and combination skin. Cream is great for dry skin and liquid and gel are best for oily skin. For even better results, combine cream and powder together – it helps blusher to stay on longer and looks more luminous. Cream blusher is great for mature skin as it blends easily for a very natural look. Blush stains are ideal for well-moisturized skin but avoid on dry skin as they tend to dry very fast. Blending cream blushers with a powder blush can also look very effective and beautiful on the skin.
Choosing a Colour
Start by choosing a colour, using nature as your guide. Find a colour that matches your cheeks when they are flushed after exercise or from being out in the cold. Fair skin looks great in rose, olive in peach and dark skin in apricot or even red. A dusky pink blusher will warm up and tired-looking skin. Another trick is to find one that matches your skin colour.
Applying Blusher
For best results, the skin should be prepped and foundation applied carefully. Apply the blush onto the high apple of the cheekbones and softly blend backward, following the cheekbone and ending at the hairline. Use a professional full brush for applying powder blush, tapping off any excess. For extra contouring and a more chiselled look, a bronzed or darker colour can be used underneath.
Blusher should never go below the bottom of your nose or any closer in to the centre of your face than the iris of your eye. Apply a small amount of blush to your forehead – on the spot where the sun normally hits your face – if you look very pale. Applying blush near the eye can help give your eyes a sparkle.
Applying Gels and Creams
For a natural, healthy flush, keep the colour light and blended. Dab a dot of gel or cream on the apple of the cheeks only, using the middle finger, then blend with ring and middle fingers. The clean finger will pick up any excess.

The Best Way to Compound Your 2013 GainsWith the exceptional, unpredictable year that was 2013, we have a one-time opportunity to "mine" its insights... and make even more money in 2014. The trick, as you'll see, is to block out the noise, stay invested, and focus on three key numbers...
Full Story
- Making Money in a Generational Bull Market This isn't just any old stock market rally. It's the first leg of a global generational bull market. Stocks around the world can and eventually will double and triple from here. Investors want to know if it's too late to get into the record-breaking bull market. They want to know if they should take profits... or keep their chips on the table. They want to know how to navigate any correction, if one comes. The answers to those questions are easy. You just have to understand where we are. My record picking major market tops and bottoms is exceptional. That's important, because the global generational bull market isn't going to be a straight run. There will be ups and downs. And to get the most of both, you need to know this market and have a plan...
This Big-Gain Spark Can Even Boost Your "Tax Refund"
New contracts are huge catalysts, or "sparks," for companies that land them with the government. When analysts get wind of the pending business, they can send earnings estimates - and stock prices - rocketing skyward.
Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman, and Boeing have been playing the game for decades, and winning it.
But the money isn't reserved just for the big boys. Hundreds of small companies get a piece of the pie as well.
You can find these sparks everywhere.
And some of them even give you a chance to boost your "tax refund," too... as you'll see.
In fact, the big-money contracts don't even have to come from the government.
- This Will Change the Way You Think About Investing Forever We've already made good money playing publically traded oil and gas companies. 125% on Cheniere... 200% on Halliburton... 210% on Western Refining... 542% on Westport Innovations... 300% on Golar LNG... And given energy's across-the-board potential, our focus on growth isn't going to change. In fact, it's about to expand. Something huge just slipped under the radar. It was so significant that it promises to change how you think about investing forever - especially in oil and gas. A late-summer change in the rules now allows for expanded access by retail investors into the lucrative world of venture capital. It's called direct investment, and it goes far beyond just buying stocks, bonds, and options... It opens up the potential for all of us to make some serious money. It really is a whole new ballgame. And for you, it starts this Thursday - perhaps even sooner. (I'll let you know.) Like I said, this is huge...
- Successful Investing: Five Things to Do Before 7 A.M. Every Day The most successful investors of our time have one thing in common - they're early birds. Consider joining them. Studies show that people who make things happen early are more proactive and more productive. They're also more likely to be top performers and enjoy greater financial success. University of Heidelberg biology professor Christoph Randler notes that early risers tend to have a good idea of what they want to accomplish. His research shows that, while evening people may be more creative and in some cases smarter than morning risers, they're "out of sync." Early birds, he noted in a 2010 Harvard Business Review article, "hold the important cards." And if you're not a morning person? Performance expert Tony Schwartz says that less than 10% of the population has unchangeable biorhythms. That means you can train yourself to get up - and get ahead. But what to do? Here's my list of five things to do before 7 a.m....

The Worst Investing Mistake You Could Make Now
Many investors are understandably nervous when it comes to what the markets will do this week. Some are downright agitated.

The Six Questions that Can Make You Rich (Part Three)
In May, McKinsey Global Institute released its latest report,Disruptive Technologies: Advances that will transform life, business, and the global economy.

The Six Questions that Can Make You Rich (Part Two)
For some reason, we love the concept of technology, but hate the tech that surrounds us.
We curse our email when it freezes for the slightest second. We damn the cellphone carrier that sends a signal to space and halfway around the earth when we're talking with someone thousands of miles away, but the drops the call.
We dismiss certain innovations because we think they're just another passive fad.
This bias against technology sometimes leads us to miss some of the greatest investment opportunities of a lifetime.

How to Invest in Sports Teams – and Profit
Professional sports are big business, to put it mildly. A top franchise, no matter the sport or market, can be worth billions of dollars.
More and more, sports organizations are beginning to offer shares to investors on the open market, but if you're to profit, you need to be armed with the right knowledge about how to invest in sports teams.
Sponsorships, ticket sales, broadcasting rights, and even tax breaks all contribute to the value of a team.
Most of these sports teams are held privately, in families or small combines. But there are ways you can figure out how to invest in sports teams, going from fan to financier by picking up shares of these organizations - but perhaps not in the ways you'd think.

How to Invest in The Two Hottest Tech Trends I've Ever Seen
Last week, I told you the "Mobile Wave" was one of the biggest profit opportunities that I'm following for you.
I even shared a potential "double-your-money" profit play that the "experts" seem to have missed.
But as good as the "Mobile Wave" story might sound, it's not the only hot sector that can substantially bolster your net worth.
Today I'm going to tell you about two other high-tech trends that I'm following - and each one represents the double-your-money profit opportunities that I'm always hunting for.
And I'll give you a stock to watch with each one ...
How to Invest in the Top Tech Trends
The trends that I'm talking about are "Big Data" and "Cloud Computing" and each is an example of the "unstoppable trends" that I search out in my Five Rules of High-Tech Wealth that I've been talking to you about over the last few weeks.
Let's look at each of these two powerful developments.
And we'll start with Big Data, a term that refers to technologies that make massive data sets - once inaccessible - available for analysis and use in decision-making.
According to a recent study by IBM, we now create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data each day.
But it's what we do with all that data that truly matters.Read More...

How to Invest in E-Cigs: The Cigarette of the 21st Century
They look like cigarettes, feel like cigarettes, taste like cigarettes - and, smokers will tell you - satisfy the craving for a smoke.
But electronic cigarettes, or e-cigs, don't have any of the offensive smoke that's so harmful to health. Instead, they feature an odorless vapor in which nicotine is delivered to the user. And they're sometimes allowed in public places where cigarettes are banned.
Studies show e-cigs make smoking healthier for smokers and those around them, while also helping smokers quit.
Plus, e-cigs cost about half as much as regular cigarettes.
Big tobacco continues to place bets that electronic cigarettes can keep the tobacco industry and its annual sales north of $750 billion and growing.
Altria Group Inc. (NYSE: MO), the world's biggest tobacco company and parent company of Philip Morris USA, is the last of the three major U.S. tobacco firms to get into the e-cigs game.
"There is no denying that adult tobacco consumers have shown interest in it," Marty Barrington, Altria's CEO, told investors during an earnings conference call last week.
Thanks to increased health awareness, as well as the introduction of several taxes which have led to the price of packs more than tripling in some cities, cigarette sales began declining over15 years ago and continue to do so, falling 6.2% in the first quarter of 2013.
Even though e-cigs were introduced almost 10 years ago, they are just starting to take off. Sales in the U.S. totaled $500 million in 2012 and are expected to double to $1 billion in 2013.
And a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 21% of adults who smoke regular cigarettes had used e-cigs in 2011, up from 10% in 2010.
So, now that e-cigs are growing more popular, what's the best way to invest in them?

Before the game captain Phil Neville urged his side to bounce back quickly from that disappointing FA Cup exit on Saturday.
And it took just six minutes for the Blues to do just that.
Tim Cahill opened the scoring early on before Landon Donovan bagged his first Everton goal to double that lead and ensure the three points before the half time whistle had even blown.
Unlike the Birmingham defeat at the weekend, the Blues started sharply piling pressure onto the visitors right from kick-off.
It wasn't long before the Goodison crowd were rewarded for turning out on a cold evening when Marouane Fellaini crossed the ball into the path of Cahill who headed home on the six minute mark.
Sustained pressure from the Toffees continued as Sunderland struggled to contain the pace of the home side.
Some great link up play between Steven Pienaar and Louis Saha followed.
Sunderland keeper Craig Gordon however saved the Everton striker's effort, the Frenchman chasing his 100th league goal of his career.
David Moyes' side looked by far the more likely to score as the first half went on and supporters didn't have to wait long until the lead was doubled.
Landon Donovan got his first goal for the Club since joining on loan from LA Galaxy in the New Year.
The American international's cooly taken left footed strike made it 2-0 as the chant of USA rang out across Goodison.
There was an early substitution for Sunderland soon after with an injured Kieran Richardson being replaced by Kenwyne Jones but the change failed to boost the Black Cats morale.
Saha headed the ball to Cahill who was 12 yards out in the centre of the penalty area but the Australian's close range effort was caught by Gordon.
Seconds before half time Leighton Baines' free kick from 20 yards out forced a save from Gordon.
The Blues left back having a confident performance playing in the 200th league match of his career.
It's likely David Moyes simply asked for more of the same in the dressing room as the second half again saw Everton come out the blocks fastest much to the pleasure of the boyant crowd.
Sunderland saw an effort from Lorik Cana blaze way over the bar into the Park End to the delight of the Everton fans.
Donovan then had an excellant chance to make it 3-0 but was denied his second goal of the game by a heroic block from George McCartney.
Cahill had slipped the ball passed the Sunderland defence into the path of the pacy American who shot with his left foot, but the Black Cats left-back used all his energy to ensure the ball stayed out of Gordon's net by clearing it off the line.
Steve Bruce could only look on as the clock ticked helpless to turn around his side's misfortunes.
Mikel Arteta continued his return from his long injury lay off by coming on off the bench in place of Donovan with 15 minutes left to go.
Saha was also replaced shortly after by James Vaughan as the Blues continued to dominate the game.
Bolo Zenden looked to have clawed one back though for the visitors in the dying minutes of the game.
The former Liverpool midfielder's left footed strike though was superbly saved by Howard as the Blues keeper soared up to his right to tip the ball round the post.
In extra time Victor Anichebe got his first taste of the Goodison Park atmosphere since injuring his knee in the same fixture as Arteta at Newcastle last February.
The striker replacing Pienaar to gain a few minutes of vital match practise.
Sunderland trudge back up to the North East now without a win in the Premier League since mid November.
For Everton though, it is now eight league matches unbeaten with the impressive Wednesday night display almost erasing the hurt of the FA Cup defeat just four days ago.

Kitchen Before & After: Leigh's 'One Window to Many Windows' Renovation
Reader Kitchen Remodel
What's the incentive to undergo a kitchen renovation? For Kitchn reader Leigh, it was a desire to make the most of the view outside. "One of the major problems with the existing kitchen was that it only had one small window looking over an amazing view," Leigh told us in a recent email. "Our goal from the beginning was to open up the views by having as many windows as possible and no upper cabinets. To do that, we needed to redesign the space to make room for a large pantry/mudroom..."
The work for this project was completed start to finish in weeks in late 2010-early 2011. Yes, over the holidays. We bought the house in 2009 knowing that the kitchen was going to have to be redone. We were happy to do that, especially since we got a great deal on the house....
The best, most major decision we made was to hire a contractor who we knew through previous work he had done on our old house. We knew from past experience that when he starts a job he is there every day until it is done, and that his subcontractors are very good. He is very busy, so we had to wait almost a year between deciding to do the job and when he was actually available to start. Although we were excited to get started, we were able to use the time to plan out exactly what we wanted. That ended up being a large savings, in that we didn't have to make any changes during the job, and the price quoted was the actual price in the end...
Once the space was designed, we picked out our appliances so that those specs could be given to the cabinet maker. We saved money by buying a floor model refrigerator and choosing a range that is a lesser known brand, but is the company that makes the parts for Wolf. It was half the price of the same size Wolf.
The sink and faucet came from Overstock.
When it came to cabinets, we ended up going with a family owned local company (Modern Cabinets, Bristol, CT). We started looking at Crownpoint or Plain and Fancy, and found quickly that they were far outside our budget. We priced the semi-customs at Home Depot and the price for this was similar; and I was able to get the inset fronts, something that was very important to me. We also were able to design the trim and specify our cabinets. It really was a nice surprise to find out how reasonable the cabinetry ended up being.
For the countertops, I wanted soapstone or Carrera marble, but the maintenance made those not desirable to my husband. We found a granite called Jet Mist; it is from Virginia which was nice as we were trying to be as green as possible and this didn't have to be shipped from Brazil or Italy.
The floors are slate.
Many times I have asked what I would've done differently, and I honestly can't think of anything!

That is stunning. I especially like the floors and the large island.
I love white kitchens! Looks great!
The original kitchen definitely had some good bones, but was quite uninspiring to be sure.
While I'm not as fond of totally white kitchens, and this one more traditionally inclined that I'd have gone with, it's lovely in how you made room for windows to take advantage of that view.
Nice job!
It is a little hard to tell, but the wall of cabinets that hold the refrigerator are grey. I forgot to mention that the horizontal wooden boards on the wall are from the original floors. We were going to paint them the same grey as that wall of cabinets, but I loved the look of the raw wood so we kept it.
Goes to show, sometimes it's good to wait to get what you want. This kitchen is absolutely gorgeous!
I love the bookshelf dedicated to cookbooks. One day I hope to have something similar ...
It's beautiful! But, replacing an entire kitchen is not really a very 'green' thing to do, U.S sourced countertops or not.
Beautifully done. I love that you re-used the floor for a wall, which really warms the space up. I also love the floors, the brightness of the kitchen and the metal stools. Great job!
who makes that fridge and range. I like the built in wine storage.
That is a Leibherr fridge and NXR range. We have been happy with both. I will say, the freezer section is small; and the wine section is beautiful, but it takes up a lot of space that might be better served with freezer.
This is GORGEOUS. Great job, and I wish you many happy meals in that beautiful kitchen!
I love the countertops- so glad you sourced them because I was ready to ask! Thanks!
Love the wood wall, and the kitty on the counter.
Love the wood wall, and the kitty on the counter.
I love this. I would love to see a floorplan to see the choices they made around the mudroom - it looks very nice!
So fresh and clean! Love!
Kitchen is beautiful but the shot of the cat on the counter, is giving me an anxiety attack.
Love it!!! As a rowhome dweller, I'm constantly seeking out light! This would be my dream kitchen.
This is a dream of a kitchen in a gorgeous setting. Very well done.

This doctor saw my husband who had a complication from a recent catherization in surgery which left him unable to void altogether. Dr. Altman spent one minute with my husband, cutting off what little input my husband said. I was told the doctor was in a rush to get to a meeting - it would have been better to reschedule the appointment altogether and treat my husband with care, not part of a mill money-making process (there were too many patients in the lobby and in the back where they were being scene). Yukkk, this was not quality care. He blew off the questions my husband had - this was a horrible example of medical practice.

Someone like you
I know you
I want to love you
I love you
North Korea does not exist because of China's, "There…there, now" policies.
North Korea exists because the US and back in the day, the "Comrades" took merely 10 minutes to divide the Korean peninsula to appease both the US and the "Commies". It's called the, "38th Parallel".
10 minutes.
Talk about adding insult to injury to a country that was destroyed by the Japanese.
The North eventually became a perversion of Socialism and the South became a perversion of Democracy.
What I am trying to say here is that unless you really have done your homework, shut up, listen, and learn.
The fact that even Koreans and Korean Americans don't even know this part of their history is shameful, period.
Wanna really flip your world?
Try to define, "Han", what and how it means to the Korean Culture.
If you don't know or aren't getting the spank by now, seriously, just stick to your cubicles.
Ciao, romfers.
If you truly can't do it, then don't.
After today's experience re my friend's dog and his fostering situation, I wanted to jump into the volcano of cleanliness so that my clothing and flesh were burnt of all dust and dander and filth.
It was DISGUSTING. The house, the balls of fur, the literal bowls of fur placed on the bookshelf and the dried shit on the wooden floors. Not to mention the dried pieces of shit in the backyard. That is not composte. That is literal dried feces, you lazy POS.
Loving and care taking are not simple gestures.
They require activeness, awareness, and fucking hell, GROOMING!
Have you even touched your foster pet without a thick film of filth on your palms? Try washing your hands afterwards, you might as well have coddled your own crap as the colors run the same under the tap. It's shameful and inhumane. It's gross and endangering to everyones health.
Just because a dog does not cry out in pain does not mean that they aren't in pain. Just because they can't bathe themselves, doesn't mean that they don't need to be bathed. Just because they wag their tails does not mean that all is well.
Do your jobs and take care of your fosters.
YOU should know better.
Would you like to be unbathed for a month or more?
Would you like to be unable to groom and clip your bits/nails as they pose harm and damage as you run around and chase?
Lots of people are animal lovers. But only a few actually are "responsible" animal lovers. To love something requires responsibility and action.
Pigs may love to lie in their shite, but that doesn't mean that it's good for them.
And for you dog owners, get educated.
Prevention is always the best. If you see, feel, smell, hear, or sense something is not right, then go with it.
Dogs are OF the wolf lineage. They are not wolves. They are domesticated. They were bred to be "Man's best friend". Therefore, we should be their best friends too.
Literally caring for them in every way as they do for us, humans.
Think about it. At the same time, there is a line when it comes to humanizing our non human loved ones. Don't project. Pause. Breathe, Relax and Think.
Remember, if you're not in control then there's no way your pet will be so of themselves.
This is a message brought to you by an imperfect, yet responsible, knowledgeable pet owner who loves to learn, love and share.
Girls, Gals, Babes, Chicks, Ladies, Women, Sweethearts, what have
Deal with it, or GTF over it.
I don't mind the yelling and the cursing, but the WHINING? You give pigs a bad rap.
And I love my bacon.
Can't eat your own dish you served?
Find a new occupation.
No one cares, but it's sad that you're all strung up, …STILL.
Cut the crap already.
It's pathetic.
You want a pacifier, go help yourselves, J&J love your types.
Not to mention P&G. That's right, you CAN change your own diapers.
Just do yourselves a favor and don't suck your thumbs into Oblivion. No one wants to see that shite.
Peace, babes.
It's been awhile since I've written here.
For those of you who don't know, I've been struggling to find steady work in a decent workplace - the boss doesn't call me an idiot, I'm actually hired to do what I was hired to do, some more, but no less..etc.
I'm 30, feel like the world's biggest loser, and have the tears to prove it.
Aside from that, I'm fortunate to be at "home" - the fucking funny farm, to have my dog, and to have my lean sanity.
AS someone who has been out of work and has been fervently searching for work, please do not "complain" to your friends about being "busy". it makes your unemployed and yet ernest friends feel so shitty.
Be thankful for your workload and for being able to speak about the experiences.
Your "desperately searching for work friends", envy you and chastise you in their hearts for being so ungrateful.
You know what I mean.
EVERYONE, embrace yourselves and your realities!
It's never over until the freakin' meteor hits, and it will!
It's been a long time.
it would be wonderful to tell someone that I loved that person.
Do you remember the how it first was, confessing your love for the first time?
Pent up.
Popcorn.(it's the early 90's, 'aight?)
Holding hands, glances, stares, studying each other's faces.
12. hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!
I'm ready to kiss.
Will you kiss me?
My dad…
Tonight he found out that his friend from his native country just became a school principal.
His friend called my dad all the way from around the globe.
My dad is so moved and overwhelmed with joy.
You see, in other parts of the world outside of the US, it's hard to become, "anything". His friend who is probably in his late 50's, "made it".
His friend had such a terribly difficult life and he and my dad would often eat together at my dad's childhood home.
My father grew up in a more modern and affluent household than the many others in his native homeland. His parents, my grandparents shared their wealth with their neighbors and fed everyone in their village.
True story.
My grandmother grew everything in her backyard, pickled it all and just shared the wealth. My father grew up with this friend of his and he is so happy that his friend has made it too.
It's very rare to see my father cry. Yes, wine does bring out the truth, and my father, as solid as he is, he has such depth and sensitivity.
it really brings into perspective what we all Americans strive for….for the most part, the majority seeks stability and hey, that's where I am….enough money to pay bills, rent, groceries, and an occasional night out for pizza.
Would I love to have more, if even the above mentioned? Absolutely yes.
But our world has changed and is still changing….priorities become needs and needs become wants.
What are YOUR priorities? That glam car? That fancy home in Vicenza?
I dont' know about you all, but I think it's good to keep the dreams alive, regardless of the present situation we're all in.
I'm just struggling to make my car payments, get my dog all of his needs/vaccinations/food which I do, I'd rather starve than see him struggle, bills paid, you get it….
We're living in a living history of the US…for those of you who are in the US reading this.
The American Dream needs to be refined and re-defined.
Cuz right now, ain't no one dreaming of a white picket fence.
I don't know where it's all going, I am concerned, but all I know is that I am safe and for the most part I am sound.
I am poor, but I am blessed.
I gave my father a warm wash cloth for his face, tears dry out the face.
I made him green tea and brought him a huge cup of water for the morning after…wine always dries out the mouth.
I love my father. He's my rock of sanity.
i guess that's why he married my mom who's a rock of insanity.
Balance is key, but seriously?
He's been sick for a month plus now…I'm worried…….
Anyways, I'm very happy to share in the happiness of his friend's lovely fortune.
There's more I want to write, but for another random day.
I'll spare you all.
Hey, Everyone!
Happy Love Day!
I sincerely hope you are all enjoying today. For those who don't celebrate this day, I am with you, however this Love day is about Love itself.
Whether you have a mate or not, it doesn't matter. I hope that you all do love yourselves period, regardless of having a partner or not! Yes!
Today is my lovely fully overgrown puppy's 3rd Birthday! He's eligible to drink and drive, but I'll leave that to moi! Not really.
He got his toys, his symbolic bath for his personal new year, and he is now literally falling asleep beside me upright. So cute.
I don't mean to get all sentimental, but being that dogs age faster than us, humans, I can't help but sometimes whimper a bit that every birthday of his is a "countdown" of his life expectancy and I'm so sorry for putting it like that, …I just don't ever want him to die or leave me. I love my dog so much.
All I can do, as I love to do, is to provide for him the best and to continue to look after him and his specific needs. He's already 21 now or something like that, perhaps I'm being selfish.
I just really love him and he has been there for me in so many ways, I never could've imagined:
1. Service Dog
2. Protector
3. Bestest friend…my Lil Fella
4. My Best Friend and companion.
5. My personal comedian,..he's so funny.
6. Guard Dog
7. My Lil Helper.
8. My Lil Fella
9. My Sweetheart
10. My Lovely
Hey! Who knows, I might die before he does! But that's a sick point to make and I apologize.
As any decent and respectable and responsible parent would do, you put your kids first.
Well, I put my kid first too, he just happens to walk on all fours and has a handsome and furry face!
And I don't care nor mind that his needs always come first and that I have to "negate" my "self" finances.
He's my kid and I love him and G forbid should anything happen to him.
He's now lying down and sleeping beside me.
I guess I love my dog, I mean with everything I always write about him and the extent, how could it not be so obvious…..
He saved my life.
He continues to save my life.
AS someone who suffers on a daily basis with PTSD, there's nothing else you can do but cherish your service dog.
Thank you, *****, for being my service dog and best friend.
Happy Valentine's Day and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!
Cat people are crazy.
Their silence/shyness is similar to a heavily medicated patient in a psych ward, bizarre and disturbing….uttering a few words here and there, but just that uncomfortable silence of insanity, like chasing squirrels in their heads or something like that.
Cat people are also neurotic. Spewing bouts of shit and suffering from bouts of verbal diarrhea, thus losing the other person in the throws of the so-called conversation…..akin to coughing up hairballs, I guess. It don't sound pretty, and hell, it don't look pretty. They make hoarders and Doomsday Preppers look and sound just swell.
One moment they're ok, the next moment they want to scratch your eyes out.
Cat people are also intensely paranoid. Who, What, Where, and How over and over and over contemplating, verbalizing their fears of their neighbors, the market produce, history and how terrible mankind is (as if they just realized how screwed up everything is, are you freakin' kidding me?), then going on a verbal rampage about your life and how terrible your life is and as the listener, you're just sitting there…..again….bizarred, and bewildered, projecting their fears onto you, or at least trying to…..and last but not least, anxiety ridden, you want to avoid them like The Plague.
Absolutely Insane.
There's more, but I'm tired and I'm trying to focus on the Twilight Zone episode that's on.
BTW, Rod Serling was one of the hardest working guys in Hollywood ever.
He'd give Seacrest a run for his money if he was alive today.
Serling was incredibly talented and you can read all about him online if you care to.
I'm sick of eating leftovers, I wish people would stop bringing crap food home because I feel terrible throwing food out, so I eat it and then feel like booboo.
I hate Hawaiian pizza, it's an abomination. Please stop bringing that home.
I can't stand pizza that's also made out of Ciabatta dough, gross.
Can someone please stop lunching at Sizzlers? Not good.
Why do we have so many cookies? Who do you think cleans up the ant problem because of those damn cookies? I hate killing ants. They're honest and hardworking, and smart. I cry after I have to dispose of the ants. Spiders, now THAT'S something else. Give me a lighter and hairspray, you've got yourself a homemade blow torch. That's how I kill the black widows and their egg sacks. Gross. Do you know that in one egg sac, there are more than 300 eggs? Disgusting. Let 'em burn.
BTW, if you're one of those people who miss an acid trip (not me, I've never gone near that shit), you should read Mingus', "Beneath the Underdog". I read it about 10 years ago. Everything about C Bird Parker and the insanity of the jazz world and MIngus' world.
I have to go now.
Thank God no one reads this shit.
ps - Give me a job, goddamn it! I'm worth it!
pps - RIP Donald Byrd

Hola! My name is Josué and I graduated from Centro Educativo Amador. My graduating class had about 75 students, so my school wasn't that big. In high school I was involved on the prom board of my graduating class and was captain of the soccer team and basketball team. This is my second year at WMU and is amazing so far! Even though is my second year at WMU, I am a senior because I transferred credits from the Dominican Republic. I am majoring in industrial and entrepreneurial engineering. It is a great program, and the faculty members are very helpful.
When I got to my senior year in high school I had the choice between two colleges in the Dominican Republic. I picked one of the best, in engineering. After my second year at INTEC (Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo), I applied for a scholarship from the Dominican government. They offered it for a couple of other colleges, but I instantly picked WMU because of the great engineering program it has. Also, there are a lot of Dominicans and other international students, so why not exchange some cultural diversity?!
I am on an Ultimate Frisbee team called Dark Horse Ultimate. We travel around the country and play different tournaments against other colleges. Spring semester is the actual season we compete during. Ultimate Frisbee is a great sport and I love it. In my free time, I like to play soccer at the student recreation center, a lot of people go there and is a pretty fun time and you get to meet a lot of people. Once in a while, the intramural office organizes tournaments between the students that attend the SRC. Also, it is very fun to attend and support the power of gold! Hockey games are really fun and football too! WMU is the place to be and I love it!!!

"You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."
—Abraham Lincoln
Accusing any widely accepted theory of having been motivated to fool people is not a position we choose. However, Lincoln's quote does make us believe that anything deviating from truth must have its day in which its erroneous nature is unveiled. Therefore, we do choose a position to encourage tighter scrutinizing on many of them.
The US Constitution obliges the US government to defend Christianity. Nothing can alter it! Whether loving it or hating it, one can only live with it until it is changed. To find out, click this article:
USA, a Nation of Christianity—It Is the Law (PDF copy)
We cannot find any law so powerful as to be able to have the USA as a country (not its government) separated from the faith of Christianity. On the exact contrary, the US Constitution repetitively emphasizes the spiritual dominance of Christianity in this country.
The Civil Right Act 1964 has a big part violating the US Constitution with its clauses regarding discrimination practice involving religions. It opens the door for persecution against Christianity in the USA. When conflict arises between Christianity and any other belief, our supreme law mandates that the US government must smooth out the conflict in the way that Christianity faces no threat. Failing to do so, the American government is treading on a path betraying the Constitution, the Founding Fathers, and their posterity.
∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ ♥ ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞
How constitutional is it to claim that America is not a country of Christianity?
Here is the answer from the US Constitution:
We the people...to ourselves and our Posterity do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. So did the Founders sign the Law. So signing, they devoted to no other course but the one that is set forth by the Declaration of Independence, a document that is guided by and permeated with the teaching of Christianity.
Therefore, claiming the USA not a country of Christianity is against the Founders' will that is signed into the supreme law; the claiming is anti-Constitution.
