More and more families are living in transition. Mom or dad has to go away for weeks at a time leaving the other parent to weather it alone for a week at a time or more. This lifestyle can be especially hard on young children as they thrive on routine and stability. Parents must be aware that behaviour issues can arise and coping mechanisms must be created by everyone in the family unit if transient lifestyle is to be successful.
My husband has been working up north in Ft.McMurray as a Paramedic/Firefighter for over two years. We have 3 small children (all boys) aged 6, 4 and 20 months. Here are some tips and tricks that I do with my own family to keep us connected, attached and thriving.
- Support.
Nothing beats a support network of likeminded parents. Sometimes it can be hard to find a reliable substitute for your absent partner, but being able to rely on someone that you trust can mean the world for a solo parent. Also, parents going through the same transitional lifestyle can help with advice, and sometimes even childcare, as they know what it is like to be in your shoes. Another way to build your support network is to cultivate relationships with the people in your neighbourhood. In this digital age it is easy to sit inside at home and use the computer to connect with people. For a solo parent, putting yourself out there and meeting other people in your neighbourhood is critical. It is always good to have neighbours to watch out for you and for your kids. I find that since I have gotten to know my neighbours they are more forgiving if the sidewalk is not done right away, and one of them usually does it for me as he knows that it is hard for me to do it with all 3 of my little ones trailing behind. It is also important to know when to ask for help and also when to accept it. I was incredibly grateful when a neighbour of mine came over to my house to watch my 2 of my children while I rushed my 3rd child to the hospital and I couldn't wait for my mom to get to my house. She saved me a lot of undue stress in an already stressful situation.
- Routine
Small children thrive on routine so living in a household that is in constant flux can be hard on them. You may notice that your children "act out" more often when in transition – this can be when the other parent comes home or when they go away. The best way to combat this is to have a pretty restricted routine and make sure to follow it no matter who is home. In our house we have all the meals at the same time every day. I have a meal plan so that I know what is being cooked and do not have to think about it. My kids know that we have crock-pot on Thursdays and Pizza and movie night on Fridays. This also gives them something to look forward to. When my partner comes home there is a little bit of resistance from the children, but this is perfectly normal and we know that they need a little more reassurance from both parents to make the transition a smooth one. This is the most important point that I can not stress enough. Every family has a natural balance of how much time they need together and how much time they need apart. Most families that have one parent working away from home complain that the time when they come back is so rushed and they don't feel like they are connecting with each other…the kids are fighting more and it is generally a very stressful time. Parents complain that they just get into a routine and then the other parent comes home and they have to try and fit the other person into their life. This is why the routine is so important. If you keep things the same whenever either of you are home there is less trying to fit in to the family dynamic, and that makes for a much easier transition on everyone.
- Making time for each other and time for yourself.
Most parents I know (myself included) get overwhelmed by the day to day with small children, especially when they can't contact their partner to talk about how their day is going (many work away parents have limited access to contact out until after shift ends). We make it a point to have Skype three times a week where my husband will eat his dinner later so that he can say goodnight to the boys. We send him pictures of what we are doing, or eating for supper and the kids make him cards and gifts that he can take up with him the next time he goes. We also took a parenting class that talked about attachment and transitions from Dr.Gordon Neufeld and he stressed on the importance of the next point of contact and leaving something for your kids to treasure while you are away. My husband has the kids take care of one of his watches when he is away, and he makes sure that he calls when he is about to board the plane, when he lands, and before bed every night.
When my husband comes home I will sometimes want a break, and so I will make an appointment for something just for me, on the second day that he is home. I do make sure that this balances with the needs of the whole family though, as my husband also likes to have a night out and we would like a night out together, but we also have to reconnect as a family so this is the hardest part for most families with limited time between shifts. We try to get all of the chores done while he is gone, and I have actually hired a cleaning lady to do my floors and bathrooms so that we can spend time connecting as a family instead of scrubbing tiles.
Every time that he is home he will take one of our children out for some errand so that he can talk to them one on one and find out what is on their mind. I have all sons and so the one on one time that they can have with their dad is really important to me and I will sacrifice other things such as a Mom's Night Out for this to happen. I really believe that my kids are small for such a short time and I want to give them as stable an upbringing that I can.
This doesn't mean that I neglect myself, as that is not the case at all. I invite friends over for dinner and playdates when he is away, and also have my best girlfriends over for coffee once a month just to reconnect. It is really all about creating the lifestyle that you want to enjoy.
- Find Fun in the Everyday
This is not to say that it doesn't get lonely sometimes, even when I have relied on my support network. I believe that being a sometimes single parent can be really isolating because on the weekend when my single friends have dropped their kids off with their ex, and my other friends are having family time on the weekend, we are just waiting for the day to end so that we can talk to daddy. A way that I combat this is by overcompensating for the fact that he is not home on birthdays, and holidays. I make crazy themed food and I also make elaborate crafts and games with the kids. The absolutely love it and it is my hope that they remember the silly crafts and the crazy themed food (thank you Pinterest.com) instead of the fact that their dad was only home half if the year.
When my husband comes home we also make sure that we try and make it the least stressful as we can by going and doing things like the zoo, or visiting a museum or many of the other attractions and activities that the city has to offer. Also, because he has a whole week off we will sometimes drop everything and go on a mini vacation. Anything to break up the mundane and the monotonous nature of daddy being home vs. daddy being gone.
- Goals/ End Dates
As with any lifestyle choice having a goal is a really good idea. When one parent is working away from home for long periods of time it is always important to have that end goal in mind. Is this a forever thing? Is it just for 6 months to a year? Why are you doing it? There are different challenges for both the parent working away from home and for the parent still at home with the little kids, and sometimes when the going gets tough it is good to keep that end date or reason for working in your mind. We decided to go with this route to be able to afford a house, which we now own and love. We also like the flexibility that my husband has when he comes home because we are a homeschooing family, so we can take a break whenever we want to expand on learning etc. We do have quarterly goals and right now we are saving up for a trip across the ocean. By knowing how many tours that my husband has to work for us to afford our goal makes it easier for me to get through the 6th bedtime by myself when everyone has a cold.
As with everything being a sometimes single parent is not for everyone. Sometimes the lure of the money can make it seem like it is worth it, and for some people that in itself is enough. On the other hand it is important to remember that it is not easy money at all. The sacrifice that you have to make as a family and the work that it takes to keep connected and attached can make the money that you could potentially earn not worth it in the least. If you are feeling angry, resentful, depressed or taking out your emotions on the children then you have to take a good hard look at the situation and either change it by learning new coping mechanisms like I have outlined above, or try something else until the children are older.

Welcome to the blog tour for THE UNLIKEABLE DEMON HUNTER, the first book in the adult urban fantasy romance series, Nava Katz, by Deborah Wilde. See below for information the book, buy links, an exclusive excerpt, and details on her giveaway.
About the Book
Title: THE UNLIKEABLE DEMON HUNTER
Series: Neva Katz #1
Author: Deborah Wilde
Publisher: Te Da Media
Release Date: April 18, 2017
Genre: Adult Urban Fantasy Romance/Comedy
Links: Goodreads | Amazon | Amazon UK | Amazon CA | Amazon AU
Bridesmaids meets Buffy with a dash of the seven deadly sins.
The age-old story of what happens when a foul-mouthed, romance impaired heroine with no edit button and a predilection for hot sex is faced with her worst nightmare–a purpose.
Ari Katz is intelligent, driven, and will make an excellent demon hunter once initiated into the Brotherhood of David. However, this book is about his twin Nava: a smart-ass, self-cultivated hot mess, who is thrilled her brother is stuck with all the chosen one crap.
When Nava half-drunkenly interrupts Ari's induction ceremony, she expects to be chastised. What she doesn't expect is to take her brother's place among the–until now–all-male demon hunters. Even worse? Her infuriating leader is former rock star Rohan Mitra.
Too bad Rohan's exactly what Nava's always wanted: the perfect bad boy fling with no strings attached, because he may also be the one to bring down her carefully erected emotional shields. That's as dangerous as all the evil fiends vying for the bragging rights of killing the only female ever chosen for Demon Club.
Odds of survival: eh.
Odds of having a very good time with Rohan before she bites it: much better.
Excerpt #4
"Show me your power." His hand snaked out and caught my wrist, pressing his palm against mine. Holding me in a barely contained show of strength.
"Death wish, much? I showed you in the backyard."
"Barely even a tease." He drawled the words.
I meant to pull away but I got my directions mixed up and pushed back against the warmth of his skin. "I will fire up. I'm warning you."
Rohan leaned in. "Do it." His eyes flared and I caught my bottom lip between my teeth.
Then some last iota of common sense–and self-preservation–raised its hand. I jerked away from him. If he was a demon, I should have killed him six times over by now. What the hell was I doing? "You still haven't convinced me that you're not a demon," I said, giving the evil spawn another chance for reasons I didn't want to examine too closely. "Fame doesn't preclude that. Nor does having a super cool mom."
"That doesn't, but this does." He held up his pinky finger, showing me the same gold ring as mine, with the same engraved hamsa and blue sapphire iris, which it turns out, was standard issue. And here I'd been hoping for a succession of property-stamping jewelry as I rose through the hunter ranks.
I fell back against my headboard. "You're part of Demon Club. Fuck. Me."
Rohan oogled me. "I won't take that off the table yet." He propped his chin on his hands on the top of the chair.
I cocked an eyebrow at him. "Did you just put me on a table?"
"More invoked a proverbial table and a conditional 'yet.' The 'yet' is an important component of this potential event," he said.
You know what else was an important component? The presumptuous jerk still having attached balls for our proverbial fuck.
"I used to write fanfic about Fugue State Five," I said in a conversational tone.
Lookie lookie. Return of the amused smirk. "How was I?" he asked.
I shrugged, examining my chipped nail polish. "No clue. I wrote self-insert fanfic about the rest of your band. Zack, your keyboardist was astounding." I drawled that last word so he'd get the full implication.
"My keyboardist?" Rohan's smugness was R.I.P. "But he's gay."
"I assure you that didn't matter." I gave a self-satisfied sigh. "He succumbed to my fifteen-year-old self's wiles."
Rohan straightened. "Which of my much older bandmates also succumbed, Lolita?"
"Please. You guys were only three years older." I twisted a dark curl around my finger. "But pretty much of all of them." I raked a pointed look over him. "The ones worth writing about." He didn't react. "Though succumbing is far more innocent than you're imagining," I admitted.
"I doubt you were ever innocent."
That was highly insulting. Did he think I'd been born this way? Please. I'd worked hard to cultivate this level of sexual awesomeness.

Team Talk - The Power Of Language In Team Dynamics (1996)

Cadwell, Charles M.
Teaming - How Organizations Learn, Innovate, And Compete In The Knowledge Economy (2012)

Edmondson, Amy C.
That's Not What I Meant! How Conversational Style Makes Or Breaks Relationships (1986)
"This book gives a linguist's view of what makes conversation exhilarating or frustrating. Through the lens of linguistic analysis of conversational style, it shows how communication works - and fails to work. The aim is to let you know you're not alone and you're not crazy - and to give you more choice in continuing, ending, or improving communication in your private and public life."

Small business owners who employ local workers and provide value to the community are NOT the 1%! The IMF is the 1%.
1. The IRS is not a U.S. Government Agency. It is an Agency of the IMF.
2. The IMF is an Agency of the UN.
3. The U.S. Has not had a Treasury since 1921.
4. The U.S. Treasury is now the IMF.
5. The Attorney General of the U.S. is not employed by the U.S. But is an Agent of INTERPOL which is head quartered in Lyons, France.
6. The United States does not have any employees.
7. Social Security Numbers are issued by the UN through the IMF.
8. There are no Judicial courts in America and there has not been since 1789. Judges do not enforce Statutes and Codes. Executive Administrators enforce Statutes and Codes.
9. There have not been any Judges in America since 1789. There have just been Administrators.
10. According to the GATT you must have a Social Security number.
11. You are an "Institutional Unit" in which your body and labor are pledged to the UN through the IMF.
12. We have One World Government, One World Law and a One World Monetary System.
13. Your Social Security number is your slave number. Just about everyone in the World has a Social Security number from the UN through the IMF.
14. The UN is a One World Super Government.
15. No one on this planet has ever been free. This planet is a Slave Colony. There has always been a One World Government. It is just that now it is much better organized and has changed its name as of 1945 to the United Nations.
16. New York City is defined in the Federal Regulations as the United Nations. Rudolph Gulliani stated on C-Span that "New York City was the capital of the World" and he was correct.
17. Social Security is not insurance or a contract, nor is there a Trust Fund.
18. Your Social Security check comes directly from the IMF which is an Agency of the UN.
19. You own no property, slaves can't own property. Read the Deed to the property that you think is yours. You are listed as a Tenant.
20. The most powerful court in America is not the United States Supreme Court but, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
As a matter of fact the imagined President, imagined Representatives, imagined Senators, imagined Supreme Court Justices and imagined Federal Judges are not paid by the United States Government. Actually the United States Government does not have any employees They are paid by the International Monetary Fund in electrons. You see there is no such thing as the United States Government. In reality there are no Governments. There are Corporations (Fictions) such as the Federal Reserve Inc., and the United States Inc., which in fact are private corporations. The United States Inc., is just a slave management company. Guess what that makes you? If you said property, you are correct! You are Human Capital. The shares that were issued for the Federal Reserve when it was created back in 1913 only cost $100.00. That was quite the bargain.

The reason Occupy Wall Street is happening right now is because there is a huge movement of young people who want to reclaim this country from corporate interests. These protesters feel that our political system has been hijacked by Wall Street and their corporations. Not only that, but they feel that our elected officials now serve the interests of the wealthy upper 1%, instead of "the 99 percent."
I'm gonna write..Dang it!!! I'm gonna write…
It's not that I can't do, but that I can reach more people online than I can on the street. Also, I can capture attention. Why protest when I can speak more clearly through my mac sitting in my bedroom. I don't oppose the Wall Street crashers. They are frustrated. They feel that the system has hijacked the way of life their parents had and that they planed to continue, and they are right.
The solution is that we need to reclaim our own money. If America acts now, we still have the financial and political power globally to reclaim our position. China will fight us hard, but we really need not compete directly. We don't have to buy Chinese. If we open back up the factories we can put millions back to work and produce value back into our society. My God, can you imagine what stuff we would have cooking right now if everyone was working hard to better society? We are geniuses. I don't really know why, but for some reason us Americans kick ass. In all actuality, I don't think we have anything that any people don't have. It's just the timing and in my honest to God opinion, it's God's plan for this time.
So how did we really get where we are now? The world has turned upside down in the past 3 years!!
Well..Life happens. The only thing constant in this world aside from God's love is change. Because of this thing called time, everything constantly evolves.
So what happened?
1700's – USA is founded. We say F U to Britain because we do not want to use their currency and pay their taxes anymore. We draft a constitution that we will never let another entity print our currency and we will never have an income tax. We kick their butt and start our own country on free market using gold to back our currency. As an interesting sidenote..The South made their own currency during the Civil War, but with no gold backing it inflated to zero value..
We go from Wild West to Industrial Revolution. Life is changing rapidly with new mechanics. Lots of production is created, in fact, it is exponentially created because of leverage and tools.
Let's face it..The media is about as honest with us as a politician. So when you think about it, how do you really know what you learned in school was even truth? I know I hear you already, "Oh here we go, another conspiracy article.." NO – Listen to this: John D. Rockefeller founded the US Board of Education in 1903. What did that guy want with the school system? And since he did buy it..Why didn't he add education on money into the school system? Why do we still have a school system that is hundreds of years old and was created to manufacture military? Now here is my point, we have no idea if the things we read in our history books are true. History is not math, gramar, or science. History is one of the biggest tools used for manipulation and deception.
Moving on…
10 years later, John D Rockefeller, along with other ultra rich men such as JP Morgan, and Paul Warburg, founded a company and called it the Federal Reserve. This company would issue currency to countries. The trade off that they could offer to the Congress was that if they printed the money, they could give it to the government. Scandals in the Congress are nothing new, and the Federal Reserve Act passed.
Time for an income tax!!
The income tax was supposed to be to fund WWI, but we still pay it today, 100 years later…
20's…HUGE recession, but it was removed from Rockefeller's history curriculum in our education system that he hijacked.
GREAT DEPRESSION: Debt from WWI is too much to pay. we need more currency. The government confiscates gold and then raises the dollar-associated value to it by over 50%, hijacking over 50% of the real money in circulation and jeopardizing our whole system.
WWII – America wins. Bretton Woods Act is passed, making the United States' currency known as the Dollar, the Reserve Currency of the World. Oil is now traded in dollars, making it so that other countries must exchange their currency for dollars and then purchase oil. This causes the value of the dollar to increase drastically and therefore makes it easier for the United States to get credit from foreign investors who are eager to invest in the luxurious American economy. After all, their debt is backed by the good faith of their tax payers.. Remember too, the Congress can now go the Federal Reserve whenever they want, increase their "debt ceiling," and borrow more money.
America rocks like rock stars for 27 years, get involved in some turmoil overseas, increased the debt more. Then Nixon said let's have a REALLY big money supply, since everyone in the world treats our dollar like gold! He totally cuts the link between the Dollar and gold. Expanding the money supply to infinity.
A few years later, the "Employee Retirement Income Security Act" is passed, making it so that the tax payers are responsibly for their own retirement, and the burden is lifted from corporations. Birth is given to the IRA and 401K. This makes it so that retirement money flows to Wall Street and they can operate the money as a ponzi scheme, with money from new investors paying out the old people as they retire. *Another sidenote: Social Security(Which was enacted during the great depression), also operates as a ponzi scheme, with the money flowing into the system from young workers' paychecks and out to the retired older folks. The money retirees paid into the system has been spent.
For nearly 40 years, we lived out of our minds!!! There were recessions and expansions, but the reality is that no matter what, we could always get more money because we had a credit card with no credit limit. The credit card company was the rest of the world buying our debt, and the Federal Reserve company selling it.
Our economy boomed and we just kept continuing to kick ass. We got fat, lazy, and greedy, but we stayed smart. We powered through at the front of the line with our advances in technology, especially with computers and the internet. We created several huge bubbles with the stock market, precious metals, dot com, and real estate, but we never thought about the larger bubble that was emerging around all of the other bubbles. The credit balance that we had…The biggest bubble of all, debt!
In all reality each bubble helped us. Because off of each bubble, we could sell more debt, increasing our limit. The last one we benefited from was real estate. When we all could buy a house or re-finance one and get a rediculous amount of money for, with nothing down but a signature. How bitchin is that!? You could make $30,000 a year, live in a $300,000 house, drive a $30,000 car and have mad toys. All you had to do was refinance your house when you needed more money to cover your bills.
Then it popped. It popped because people could not afford the minimum debt payments on their mortgage payments anymore. Even with interest only loans and low interest short term adjustable loans, the mimimum monthly debt was just too much. The world quickly realized that the actual real estate was never truly worth what we sold the debt for. Values plummeted, but so did families losing their homes.
The government tried to keep the bubble going(and still is) by lowering interest rates, again and again and again. The Federal Reserve is happy to do so because it preserves the system of debt. If we stop selling our debt, they cannot continue to gain power over us for our indebtedness. Also, with all of the other countries attached to our debt system, known as the dollar, it keeps it easier for them to have a leash on the entire planet.
With mortgage payments stopping, lending stopped. Now, even with super low interest rates, the people are simply not allowed to take on anymore debt, unless they still have some collateral left that they are willing to put up, and most don't..
With a country that's whole currency system operating on debt, not getting any more loans, the economy dried up.
2007 – The banks failed because nobody could afford their loans. They sold a product that was risky, and they lost. The collateral from the loans was not sufficient to cover the exposure they had. Congress decided that if the banks failed, lending would stop, people could run to the banks to withdraw their money, and the economy would die, so they took on more debt from the federal reserve, pinning the tax on the US taxpayers back still(but now getting exponentially larger) and marched on with the debt system, even tho it was by all means bankrupt. They gave it to the banks, "to lend to the people."
The banks didn't loan shit to the people. The rest of the world gets mad(particularly China), because we are now exponentially increasing our money supply, and thus devaluing our debt to them.
With no buyers left outside of our country to buy our debt, and no assets to pledge them, the company knows as the Federal Reserve decides that they will just buy our debt themselves. This keeps the cash flowing into the United States, and stays off a collapse for the short term. The money supply keeps exponentially increasing, as prices rise on exports to combat the artificial expansion of our money supply.This is what is known as "quantitative easing."
Meanwhile, people keeping losing their houses, their jobs, their businesses. Everyone keeps waiting for life to go back to normal. But it doesn't happen…
The stock market goes up and down, but it doesn't have any effect on anyone. The people that have money seem to keep getting bigger. But everyone you know is broke and jobless. People hear what the banks did with the money that they were given that was supposed to be for lending. They hear about the bonuses to all of the CEO's that took their house.
Student loans never stop, but everyone is starting to figure out that the debt created by going to school is huge and they aren't making nearly enough to make it manageable, if they are making anything at all.
Let's face it…The debt system is broken. We still have some HUGE values that we contribute to the world. I like all of our professional sports, Google, Aaple, Nike, I could name many many more. But, we don't have anything left to pledge as collateral to keep receiving debt to live on. We already pledged it up….
Present Day:
We go to Wall Street. We protest about the greed and corruption. We don't go the the corporation the Federal Reserve who created the system, instead we go to the investors on Wall Street who's job is to keep money flowing into the market to satisfy the system and pay our people's retirement's through pensions. Without Wall Street, many retirees would lose their retirement. Retirees like teachers, firemen, and police officers.
We need to take back over our systems. It's sad to say, our currency is falling to zero like a slowly bleeding cow. And there is nothing anyone can do to stop the bleeding. We try to stop it with band aids such as expanding the money. But expanding the money without expanding the demand for the debt can't create real value. So the dollar will die.
Value is coming back. Value is king. If you have a trade, great. If you don't, learn one. What do you love? How can you do that so as to benefit society? If we can get back to creating real value, they'll keep buying our debt. But we should not let Congress give away our value to the Federal Reserve. We can sell our debt directly if we are going to sell it at all.
What will happen next?
I don't know.
I suspect that to preserve the system of debt, the central banks will create a globally currency. The world will buy into it because they won't have a choice. The debt bubble in Europe popped too. Asia is next. The Chinese have been devaluing their currency to try and combat the inflation of the Dollar. The global currency will be digital, as in all actuality the Dollar is now digital itself. I don't know which part of the world will receive the biggest inflow of the global currency, but I suspect that it will be the gographic location which produces the most value. Competition is inevitable.
No matter what, we aren't here for a long time, we're here for a good time…

In 1970 the US Government was running a spending deficit and a trade deficit(just like today) and so they were depleting their gold reserves because at the time the dollar was attached to gold to give it a hard asset-backed value.
This deficit spending caused inflation, which meant that other countries' currencies would be devalued because all of the currencies of the developed nations in the world have been attached to the dollar since Bretton Woods in 1944(right after World War 2)
In 1971, Germany did not like that their currency was being devalued to keep the US dollar propped up, and so they unilaterally left the Bretton Woods system. This move by Germany strengthened their economy and simultaneously, the dollar dropped 7.5% against the Deutsche Mark.
Other countries started demanding payment from the United States in Gold due to the execessive printing of dollars and the negative trade imbalance of America.
On August 9th, 1971, France unilaterally withdrew from the Bretton Woods system, leaving their tie to the US dollar. As the dollar plunged again and to prevent a total collapse, President Nixon cut the link with the US Dollar from the gold standard less than one week later on August 15th, 1971-immediately and without the approval from Congress. Since that day, the dollar has been a fiat currency, a debt, and the United States has been the only country in the world to literally have the ability to print as much of it as they want.
Fast forward 40 years…
The dollar has lost 97.5% of it's purchasing power. We have gone through the biggest booms in the history of the world. We have seen the biggest bust in the history of the world.
Unemployment is at records highs. The trade deficit and budget deficit are both at record highs. Foreclosure is at record highs. The money supply is rapidly setting new records. Again, like 1971, other countries are wanting out of their tie from their currency to the US dollar, and for the same reasons they did 40 years ago..That is, execessive printing and a trade deficit. This time, there is also a record budget deficit, and the US credit rating has been downgraded.
What major actions are left to be taken? Interest rates are already near zero, they are pumping as many dollars into circulation as possible, and they cannot cut spending enough to balance the budget, no matter what they cut.
There is no way gold can drop in value until the dollar dies and a new currency is set. Look at the pictures below to see why:
By: Joshua Gamen
Could there be a one world currency?
As a citizen of the best country in the history of the world, the United States, I would have said no 5 years ago. I would have told you that's a terrible idea. The United States is home of the US Dollar. And to the United States government, the Dollar represents a global license to print money. This is because the Dollar has stood as the Reserve currency of the world since 1944(google: Bretton Woods). No other country in the world has the same power to literally just print money with a printing press, because other countries have to convert their currency to Dollars before performing global trade.
But the times, they are a changin'!
Fast FWD 5 years to present day
All of those dollars printed since 1944 were leveraged further using debt and fractional reserve banking. We are all familiar with how debt increases the money supply. Fractional reserve banking is the process of expanding the money supply further by banks issuing new loans every time a deposit is made. This means when u put $100 in the bank, they turn it into $1000 in loans.
After decades of printing money into existence and operating in a system ran by debt, the house of cards crashed in 2007. A huge run on the system occurred from '02 to '07 when Debt flooded the world like never before. The country thrived as they lived on the money the banks loaned them. Loans that existed off of money which was printed into existence from nothing and charged interest on. Banks thrived as housing was used to further leverage the money supply by being used as collateral for more debt. But 2007 exposed the system. In 2007, the economy fell like Jenga when society could no longer make the minimum interest payment on it's debts. Banks tried to patch the hole in the bubble by dropping interest rates to zero so that the system could stimulate debt to stay afloat, but it was too late. The debt was already too much to repay.
The banks then had to foreclose on the houses because they weren't receiving payments. The banks want interest, not rent, so the houses are useless to them. This caused a flood of supply to the housing market and drove values down. The housing crash was absorbed to them because they got reimbursed by insurance companies like AIG. That is what then caused the stock market crash in 2008. Fannie and Freddie crashed first, then huge public insurance companies like AIG went bankrupt from reimbursing the banks for their foreclosure losses. Financial stocks tumbled and brought the other sectors down with them, causing the stock market to fall 50 percent.
The banks needed the insurance companies to keep bailing them out, so they got the government to issue that huge bailout. In addition to their beloved insurance companies receiving hundreds of billions of dollars, they got plenty for themselves thrown into the package. They then used their money to buy up the little banks, furthering their empire of banks.
Now the banks were posting record profits from the money they had received from the government and insurance companies, but the public was still in shambles. Even with the government dumping trillions of Dollars into the system, unemployment soared as housing continued to crash from the continually increasing supply of housing led by foreclosures, loans stopped and trade halted, both globally as well as on a local scale.
With the US economy on life support, the rest of the world stopped investing in it. This means foreign nations stopped purchasing our debt. To keep the economy going, more Dollars were printed and injected into the economy, which devalued the existing dollars. Now we are on the brink of another Jenga. This time the collapse would be much more devistating, as it would be caused by the exposure to the currency bubble that the Dollars has been in. The cause of the bubble: Too much currency in circulation. The problem is that there are significantly more Dollars in circulation than there is production of goods and services. This inevitably leads to the increase in prices to all goods. This also means, unless you are getting a pay increase to adjust for the increase in prices, you won't be able to live the same as before. In addition, if you have money in savings, it will now buy you less than it would have in the past.
Foreign countries have took notice of our currency manipulation, and they don't like it. Most notably China, who is fighting to have their currency, the Yuan, replace the Dollar as the reserve currency of the world. The reason they don't like supply of Dollars flooding the world is because it means the interest they are collecting from investing in the US is being paid back to them in Dollars, which are lower in value than they were when these foreign nations invested in the US.
A currency crash, which is economically referred to as hyper-inflation, would result in a world depression.
I believe that we will see this happen very soon, as we are seeing the value of the dollar plummet, while at the same time more and more dollars being printed. This is why commodities such as oil, gold, and silver have been skyrocketing since this mess began in 2007.
So what will happen when this happens? I believe it will cause a global reliance on government, which will then cause one of two scenarios. The first scenario being a merge of the biggest nations in the world into a one world government, and the second being a world war for control of a world government. Either way, freedoms will be lost and quality of life diminished. But I will assure you, someone, somewhere, will be gaining power from the whole thing..

This post is about a History lesson not taught in schools. For almost a century many things about money have been concealed, it is part of my mission to help spread the truth to as many friends and fellow good people as possible. I dedicate this post to the following people:
First off, my father, Brent Gayman, who with his life showed me that it is critical that anyone who wants to be free, must mind their OWN business. You can not be free working for another man, period. He may not be the wealthiest man on Earth, but he has always stayed free. I have always admired how he could be there at all my sports games, field trips, doctor visits, etc – because he always controlled his own schedule.
Secondly, the NBA great Travis Outlaw – for it was at his condo my senior year of high school, where I first picked up off his coffee table the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad"(written by Robert Kiyosaki), while kicking his butt at Knockout Kings on Playstation. This book opened my eyes to what they do not teach in schools.
Benjamin Ficker, who loaned me a stack of books written by Robert Kiyosaki, including the book "Retire Young, Retire Rich," before I departed on a vacation to Maui, Hawaii with my friend Sean Stamm, where I read this book – and my mindset forever changed. I went home from that vacation and made over $8,300 that month – at age 21, solely credited to this new mindset.
And Aaron Niehuser, who wrote me an email today, asking me questions which led me to write this blog post, and see more clearly my vision for the future.
My formal education was short. After high school, I went on to play junior college football in Northern California, where I started at fullback. The following year, I transferred to Southern Oregon University, where I redshirted due to bad grades in the classroom from my freshman year in junior college. I lasted one football season and term at SOU, before flunking out of school.
In high school, I got by in the classroom solely so that I could play sports. My parents never rode me very hard about my grades, I was usually a B student, mixed in with some A's, and some C's. I really didn't care much to learn about biology, literature, an obviously manipulated history curriculum, or much else that was taught. I knew I was not going to make my money as a teacher, but rather as a businessman of some kind, owning my own business.
After college, I began my real education: SALES. I enjoyed it from the beginning, and have never looked back. While learning how to sell, I spent many slow afternoons at the car lot reading books on sales, financial literacy, accounting, and economics. I now control my own schedule and my own destiny, owning 50% of a real estate business that operates in both Phoenix, Arizona and Portland, Oregon.(Thanks again to friend and business partner Benjamin Ficker.)
This lesson begins in the year 1903, when the US Education System was taken over by the General Education Board – founded by John D. Rockefeller. That year, the influence of education was taken over by the ultra-rich.(Sound like a good idea to you???!!!)
When I first learned of this, it finally clicked why formal education was never for me. Though passionate about playing football, I was never motivated enough to sit through 8 hour days of lecture about subjects which did not show me a personal benefit, followed by more wasted hours studying textbooks in subjects I would not apply. (I'm not saying I NEVER enjoyed a lecture here or there. And I must give some credit to math in school, and also to my Freshman Economics Teacher Shawn Abbott.) But primarily, what I know I have picked up on my own education venture.
A decade after the rich took over our education system, the Federal Reserve(FED) was born in 1913. Created by a group of ultra rich businessmen and bankers at Jeckyll Island off the coast of Georgia, by names including JP Morgan(JP Morgan Chase…), and to no surprise, John D. Rockefeller. The Federal Reserve was created in a deal struck between bankers and the US Treasury. It is not federal, not American, has no reserves, and is not a bank.
In the year 1929, the United States entered into what is known as the Great Depression. During this depression, many government agencies were born, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation(FDIC), the Federal Housing Administration(FHA), and Social Security. Through this time period, the government took MASSIVE control over our lives via taxes. Many of these agencies are responsible for the mess we are currently in(See: FHA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac). The problems those 3 agencies are responsible for will be DWARFED by the unfunded time bombs of Social Security and Medicare, which are estimated to be $50-$60 TRILLION DOLLAR bombs! The largest demographic in our population is the Baby Boomers(the people born from the World War II generation), and are currently RIGHT NOW beginning their entrance into retirement. Uh oh….
1933 – President FDR(Franklin Delano Roosevelt), asked all Americans to turn in their gold coins. The government paid the people of the United States $20.22 per ounce of gold. Then, FDR immediately raised the price of gold to $35 per ounce. The government cheated Americans out of about $15 for every ounce of gold turned in. What a cash heist! If anyone was caught holding gold coins, the punishment was a $10,000 fine and 10 years in jail. I believe the reasons behind this were: 1) To get the people used to paper money as the only currency of the world, and 2) Because the government was already broke. They had already allowed the FED to print so much paper currency, that they could not back that currency anymore with the amount of gold they had.
In 1944, the Bretton Woods agreement was made, with the illusion that it was to smooth out the economic conflict resulting of World War II. In effect, this made the US dollar the reserve currency of the world, requiring other nations to peg their currency to the dollar, which was pegged by gold. This international currency agreement created the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund(IMF). This replicated the Federal Reserve system globally. This act lasted through 1971.
In 1971, President Nixon severed the link between the dollar and the gold standard, for good. Nixon realized that the link between gold and the dollar was draining our central banks of their gold reserves, so he cut the ties. With one stoke of his pen(with no permission from Congress), the global economy was forever changed. This led to one of the greatest economic booms(if not the greatest), in the history of the world. Now the Fed could print as much money as they wanted, turning the US dollar into Monopoly money(the bank never goes broke!) The World Banks now had a monopoly on currency, and the economy shifted from operating on money, to operating on debt. After 1971, the US economy could only increase by increasing debt, and that is when the bail outs started.(They were nothing new by 2007!!!) In the 1980s, the bailouts were in the millions. By the 1990s, they were in the billions, and today they are in the trillions and growing. This change in the rules of money, may be the biggest financial event in world history, allowing the United States to print money at will by creating more and more debt, cleverly disguised by what is known as US bonds. Never before this, had the world's money been backed by one nation's debt, a giant IOU from United States tax payers.
That year, the dollar stopped being money, and became a currency. The word currency is derived from the word current. A current must keep moving or it loses value. This is why today, savers are losers. To retain any value, a currency must move from one asset to another(IE: Stock market to real estate to precious metals). Thus, people who parked their money in the stock market or a savings bank lost money. Debtors become winners as the US government prints more and more money, increasing debt and inflation.
In theory, if people payed off their debt, modern money would disappear.
Then in 1974, the US Congress passed the Employee Retirement Income Security Act(known as ERISA, or as called today, 401K). Before '74, a company's pension plan provided a paycheck for life. After 1974, defined benefit pension plans shifted to defined contribution retirement plans. This means they had to save their money for retirement. Another cash heist was created by millions of people being forced to shove their money into the stock market and savings accounts, for mutual fund managers and bankers to play with until the workers retired. If the pension plan runs out of money or a stock market crash occurs, the people are SOL(out of luck and on their own).
In 2007, when sub-prime borrowers could not pay their mortgages any longer, the expansion of debt stopped and the debt market collapsed. This led to the financial crisis we are in today.
The United States has financed it's insane debt by selling the debt to Europe, Japan, and China. If these countries lose confidence in our government and currency, another financial crisis will occur. And this is now starting to happen, as there is global talk of China trying to replace the dollar with the Yuan as the reserve currency of the world.(I don't see this happening, at least anytime soon – but there's talk about it – google it…) If you and I stop buying homes and using credit cards, the crisis gets worse, and as you probably know, it is very difficult right now to obtain a mortgage or get a new credit card or an increase in your credit limit. If you already have a mortgage, try getting a home equity loan…
All of this does create an oppertunity for ANYONE who is willing to invest in their financial education and benefit from the circumstances. Assets are cheap. It is now more important than ever to invest in a financial education centered around leveraging good debt(debt used to buy assets that put money in your pocket), and cash flow(money that comes to you monthly over and above what you are paying as a price for the debt). I have talked a lot about silver and gold lately, and while they are a great hedge against inflation, it is important to also invest in assets like businesses and real estate, which will put money in your pocket. In the event of hyperinflation(which we will see, just like Germany did pre-World War II), precious metals will have a HUGE dollar amount pegged to them, but remember, dollars will be worthless. You will be able to trade them for other assets like food, real estate, etc, but it is important to have assets that provide you cash flow. Even if the cash is not in the form of US dollars. A good business provides REAL value, so you will always get something in return for what you are providing.
I strongly suggest, encourage, and recommend that you verify everything you see and read. Form your own opinions, but I sincerely hope these facts help shine some light on the truth for you.

Moscow River Eco-City
Moscow, Russia
Located on the outskirts of Moscow, the new Moscow River Eco-City has been envisioned as a destination of financial gravity and exemplary urban living - a model for the region, the country and the continent. This project is one of bold aspirations, solid roots in the characteristics and potentials of place and innovative strategies for realization. Our Financial Center Vision brings these principles to life with a focus on plan, three dimensional identity and form, and the interweaving of site systems essential to an achievable plan.
Inventive approaches to site restoration, stormwater treatment and onsite water features, major transit extensions and linkages, development phasing and market leading neighborhoods and commercial districts characterize a new approach in the Moscow region. As a new model of urban living, the plan accommodates a variety of housing types that create a diverse physical fabric and support a vibrant and vital commercial and financial center.
Moscow River Eco-City is conceived as a mixed-use community organized around an integrated network of open and public spaces, spaces that are woven into the neighborhoods that focus activity and shared experiences. At the heart of the plan is a new signature urban center alive with the energy and flow of a financial capital, creating wealth and opportunities for the new inhabitants of this community.

Linda Wade 4 OK - Senate District 42
This campaign is closed and is not collecting donations.
Time to have representation for all of Senate District 42.
I have been a life long resident of Midwest City. Like many of you, I have lamented the reality that my interests have not had representation in decades. After witnessing the recent behavior of our legislators, I realized it was time to step up.
My political compass is simply this. Pragmatism. Do what works. Do what serves the greatest number of people. I believe a rising tide lifts all boats. In Oklahoma, rising tides have not been allowed for a decade, unless the benefit accrued to the top of the food chain. I intend to change that. It is time to stand up against the swamp of dollars that are ruining our elected officials.
My entire career from accounting to information systems has been focused on fixing broken or inefficient organizations. I have a true passion for helping organizations achieve their most profitable and efficient goals. As I watched ideology dismantle our state governance by killing off revenue streams to benefit the top 5% in Oklahoma, like many of you I wondered how our state would survive. Thoughtless ideology has reduced the revenues to fund state government to 20% less than our revenues in 2009. 80% of that revenue destruction went to the most wealthy in Oklahoma. Add to that the lack of regulation on destructive industries, the legislature has run up an enormous bill for the cleanup we will be left to pay. Your children, thumbing through their crumbling textbooks, instructed by our insultingly underpaid teachers, will be paying that tab. I intend to stop that bleak future.
I have a plan. It is realistic and promotes prosperity in both urban and rural Oklahoma. I will be talking to other like minded candidates about that plan to restore Oklahoma. 2018 is the year for Oklahomans to take back their government. By the people and for all of the people. I ask that you join me in that goal.
Oklahoma can not afford one more year of legislative destruction. You can make that happen. Please contribute so the voters in Senate District 42 can finally get the representation they deserve.
Thank you

North Korean Leader Goes to Russia
Reclusive North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has arrived in Russia, where he will meet with President Dmitry Medvedev during a weeklong visit. It's Kim's first trip to the country in nine years. The visit is likely an attempt to secure food aid for North Korea and improve economic cooperation. On Friday, the two countries announced that Russia would provide food assistance to North Korea. It's also likely that Kim wants to secure Russia's support for his son and successor, Kim Jong-un.

Philosophy, Politics, Poetry, Prose: A Stellar Lit Mag Shines Bright
This fall, the quarterly Salmagundi Magazine has once again put out a great collection of essays, reviews, fiction, and poetry. I had never read the journal before, and I was impressed by the level of writing this journal – one which claims to be a publicly accessible publication in the social and political sciences – produces. Given their mission, I found this quarter's edition to have exceeded my expectations in terms of quality of writing and thought. Salmagundi seems committed to an incredible range of focus and themes which keep you interested and excited throughout their 250 pages or so of text.
The fall edition begins with a column by Croatian writer Dubravka Ugresic and translated by Dan Williams. This is a short, personal essay about what Dubravka refers to as Croatian "Yugonostalgia," a once socially subversive longing for Yugoslovian culture after the fall of the Soviet Union and the creation of a Croatian state. Dubravka looks at how this phenomenon has become a marketing tool to inspire nostalgia in consumers, similar to how your typical Levi's or V.W. commercial exploits nostalgia for commercial use in the U.S. This first essay is a gesture toward Europe, one which the rest of the volume delivers on. Immediately following Ugresic's essay is a wonderful review by Grant Gee on the work of W.G. Sebald, admittedly one of my favorite writers.
The European aspect of the Sebald review echoes the Dubravka piece, but it is only one of several excellent reviews put out by the magazine this quarter that are not directly linked to European themes. Jeffrey Miles has an essay about the poet Robert Lowell in which he looks at various literary and biographical depictions of the poet in order to construct an image or idea of who Lowell was as a man. The guest columnist, Geoff Dryer, has a piece called "My Literary Allergy" which is a careful examination of how readers can be under enthused by some writers that critics and public opinion take to be the best literary figures around. In Dryer's case, the work of David Foster Wallace is the catalyst for his exploration of literary allergies. All in all, these reviews were some of my favorite parts of Salmagundi's Fall 2012 quarter. But they are only a small portion of the wonderful work that is being put out by the magazine.
It should be noted that, unlike many other literary publications in print today, Salmagundi Magazine does not include an art section. This magazine is all about printed text. So for those readers looking to subscribe to a journal that includes a multimedia approach to its subjects, Salmagundi is perhaps not where you should be looking. This does not mean that the work to be found therein is lacking in merit, however, only that this publication has a slightly different mission than many others that I have read. Literary discourse is primary for this publication, and there is thus little space available for the visual arts.
In light of the 2012 presidential elections, this quarter's publication also features a special group of essays entitled "Fear & Trembling: Slouching Toward November 2012". This section begins with quite a unique essay by Patrick J. Keane which examines W.B. Yeat's "The Second Coming" and its place and continual employment throughout political rhetoric over the years. The second essay, "The Neo-Liberal Imagination and the Space of Reasons" by Martin Jay is a highly academic essay about liberal philosophical theory. Coming from a philosophical background myself, I very much enjoyed this piece. Another unique aspect of this section is that several of the essays include response papers written by different authors, giving the volume a sense of real discourse and inquiry. So for those of you who are looking to titillate their more academic side, Salmagundi Magazine is a great starting place.
While Salmagundi takes itself to be a more non-fiction based publication, the fiction and poetry which they have included this quarter is certainly nothing to scoff at. I was particularly taken by Victoria Redel's story, "The North Train," about a Russian ballet teacher – another piece that links this volume over and over again to the European themes established by the Ugresic essay. And while this quarter's selection of non-fiction pieces is driven primarily in a political bent, the poetry provides a great counterpoint to this. The poems in this volume are simple in language and have a ghostly quality to them. Instead of being witty or political, these poems are fundamentally lyrical, pensive, and musical. To demonstrate this, I provide you with a brief moment from Daniel Tobin's poem "A Star (after Paul Celan)": "and the pruned mother / yields through pain / the newborn's / pending face". Some of the poems are comprised of quatrains, some of couplets. There is little rhyming, however, and even the poems that have a structure read primarily as free-verse poems.
From my reading, Salmagundi Magazine has certainly earned its reputation as one of the most well-respected publications around. With an astonishing amount of variety and scope, this journal is perfect for anyone looking to read literature coupled with thought-provoking editorials and essays as well. The level of inquiry far exceeds that of any Time Magazine or Newsweek, and at no cost on the literature/poetry end either. This journal has accomplished the difficult task of publishing high-level philosophical and political texts alongside literature of equally high quality. I encourage anyone who is interested in both of these to take a serious look at their next volume, one which I am sure will not disappoint.

As many of you know, I have deemed myself the official "angel quilt maker" for the latest doll swap. I actually got permission for this job, because I really have a passion for the smaller quilts and besides, like my husband says, "What else do I have to do all day anyway?" Well, in the process of thinking about what to make for some of these, I thought...why not an angel quilt for an angel quilt???? (How's that for a sentence??) So I got to work!!
First the drawing:
Then I got out my trusty "steam a seam" (and I really wish I had stock in that company, I use so much of the stuff) and started working: Note the perfect background fabric with the tiny dots... what a perfect find that was.
Then, before I started putting the whole thing together, I sewed her face. After all, what's an angel without a sweet face? I also hand stitched her halo because I didn't think I could do a good job with the sewing machine being that it was so skinny.

THE LAST MANGO IN PARIS l CAPTAIN TONY TARRACINO
by Cricket Desmarais
I'm sitting in a world-famous bar built around a tree from which 77 criminals were hung, feeling a bit like a rebel drinking a Corona on a Tuesday afternoon. I'm not there to drink, per se, or to enjoy the live music I've heard for so many years emanating out of this little dark bar covered in business cards and bras, so much as I am to collect the real story about a man that's so infamously famous, he's been dubbed "the salt of Key West" by the New York Times.
And I'm a little nervous he may have forgotten about me. He is, after all, nearing 91. But then a car pulls up and I see a flash of white hair and feet decked out with house slippers behind the car door that is now slowly opening. Out steps the ultimate rebel himself — Captain Tony Tarracino — former bookie, shrimper, gun-runner, gravedigger and mayor, as well as father, husband and general legend of lust, love and lore.
We make our introductions and tuck ourselves into a corner to keep us free from distractions, where I quickly learn there is no such thing when it comes to this man. Captain Tony is like a rock star or a celebrity of sorts — people recognize him and want a little piece of who he is. He is more than happy to oblige. Within minutes, a small crowd has gathered nearby.
"My daughter," he announces to the crowd, motioning to Josie, who has just returned from parking the car. "One of 13."
They balk, kindly.
"Where you folks from?" he starts in. The bantering goes on for some time, and then he says "I'm gonna tell you a joke to make you happy." He points to me and says, "I'm taking you home."
"I gotta tell you girls," he adds. "The advantage you have. Every woman has a little bit of whore in them."
More laughter, except from me. Sure, I'm half-smiling, but my professional footing feels more than a bit shaky. I figure I better roll with it, though, or I'm in for a tough run with this legendary figure who clearly plays by his own set of rules. But this captain's not insensitive, either; He sees my discomfort and quickly shifts his game. Later he'll confess that, "in the end, if you want to win people, go to sex. It's the bottom line." …

Who's that next to you?
When Disney's Monsters Inc. came out, I loved it. I especially loved the opening credits, designed by Geefwee Boedoe. And I was thrilled to own the book The Art of Monsters Inc. But, Cartoon Network may have created something almost as good. Coming in August, their new show Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends from Craig McCracken looks extremely promising. The style of the artwork is similar to that of Monster's Inc., but with the attitude and edge that Cartoon network is known for. This could be the next big thing!

I´m enjoying life in the North of Denmark with my friend D. Exploring a tiny seaside village called Lønstrup (Lonstrup).
It´s my first visit to Lønstrup, and I´m amazed! The nature is breathtaking; raw and delicate all at the same time. After a long walk along the coastline, we spoiled ourselves with delicious seafood at a local restaurant – properly the best seafood I´ve ever had!
My dog Conrad was also with us and the restaurant was kind to let him sit at the table with us. The North of Denmark is known for it´s dog-friendly people 🙂
I have a ton of photos from this little gem in the North, so I´ll be posting more pictures later on. Hope you are enjoying your Summer. Take care.


text: RACC is a leading Spanish provider of roadside assistance services for car owners, while also offering home repair, personal travel and medical assistance services. In order to leverage its strong brand equity, as well as its deep expertise in managing consumer-oriented service operations, the company retained Lantern to identify how to position a new business unit focused on the car maintenance and repair market. Defining a winning value proposition in a mature market, with strong competition from specialist repair chains, car dealerships and independent operators, was truly a challenge. The first question we wanted to address was 'where to play': which piece of the pie could RACC legitimately capture and grow based on its strategy and capabilities? A clear picture of what the competition looked like from the perspective of different consumer segments helped us to uncover gaps in the composition of the market offering. Our research team hit the road and went long and far into the world of car owners. Key words like trust, anxiety, peace of mind, risk, hassle, and joy rapidly emerged in the conversation. We analysed the attitudinal and sociographic factors that regulate consumers' emotional connection with their car (a topic that frankly warrants an entire book), and uncovered elements that led to identifying a customer target that was being underserved by the competition.

When House of Cards premiered last year it was clear that the show was a game-changer. Netflix's first original series showed what was clearly the future of television. By releasing every episode of the show's first season at once, Netflix singlehandedly changed the television landscape and House of Cards became something revolutionary. However, this can only be said of House of Cards' release model and not of the show itself, because House of Cards is, plainly put, a qualitative failure.
Why is House of Cards, one of the most critically lauded and big-name awards nominated shows of 2013, a qualitative failure? Well, it's mostly because the show isn't saying anything about anything. I guess to be fair I should say that with regard to Washington D.C. and American Politics House of Cards says about as much as its opening credits do on the subject matter. Which, again, is nothing. The only point of view that House of Cards takes on is one that is terribly uninteresting, and that is all thanks to the show's main character.
The problems with Frank Underwood arise from House of Cards' narrative construction. Right from the get-go, it's made clear that Underwood is the only important thing about the show. Frank Underwood is the disgruntled, middle-aged white male (more on that later) who is guiding us through his world. (Sometimes Underwood guides us quite literally when he speaks directly to the camera in lazily written asides.) Nothing else besides Frank Underwood matters in the world of House of Cards. Every other character that exists in Underwood's ecosystem is just a bland and expressionless cog in his machine called life. Everything goes Underwood's way, and always without a hitch. Now, this all wouldn't matter so much if Frank Underwood was an actual interesting and compelling character, but sadly, that doesn't happen to be the case.
The most interesting things about Frank Underwood are that he plays video games and eats ribs. One could say that Underwood's ability to kill a dying dog, or go against the President of the United States' orders, or manipulate everyone around him, or even compose himself in an old-timey way are the most interesting things about him, but they are not. The problem is that these exact things are what Netflix and House of Cards think are the most interesting and compelling aspects of Frank Underwood.
What's exactly wrong with these aspects being the most important ones that make up who Frank Underwood is? I have a very scientifically calculated answer to that question:
As you can see in the very accurately calculated graph pictured above, there is very little that makes Frank Underwood distinctive. He's a character continuing on the stock type middle-aged, white male antihero that the cable drama once championed. The Sopranos, The Shield, The Wire, Deadwood, Mad Men, and Breaking Bad are all great shows with great main characters, but they have thoroughly covered the middle-aged, white male antihero and taken him to his extremes. What's problematic is that House of Cards is built on these shows. Tony Soprano, Vic Mackey, Tommy Carcetii, Al Swearengen, Don Draper, and Walter White are all deeply embedded into the character of Frank Underwood (one might think Underwood himself was created by an algorithm, like House of Cards was), and what's left for distinctiveness isn't much. I'm all for ribs and video games, but it simply isn't enough to make a compelling and satisfying character.
Without Kevin Spacey playing Frank Underwood and earning his Emmy, SAG, and Golden Globe nominations, House of Cards would be unwatchable. And without the prestige of being Netflix's first original series, House of Cards would be dismissed and belong in a class of other subpar cable dramas continuing on the tired trend of the middle-aged, white male antihero, like Ray Donovan or Low Winter Sun, to name a few. I'd like to have hope that someone behind House of Cards can realize its narrative problems, but with the level of popularity it's at now, that's just not going to happen.
On the micro, there's really nothing obscenely wrong with House of Cards other than its misconceived narrative issues, but on the macro, House of Cards presents huge and troubling problems for television's future. There's nowhere for television to go if one of its most high-profile shows thrives only by supplying setbacks and problems for new and original ideas. Netflix might be the future of television, but House of Cards is clearly living in the past.

In 1964, Woolfolk released "Strenght of Love" / "Diamond of My Hear" on Tateco Records (Tateco #45-446) out of Senatoba, Mississippi (south of Nesbit). He was accompanied by the Rocketts on this disc, which included Billy Yount, Billy Hardison, Herbert J.C. Hicks, Rufus Waldron and Willard Speers. Band member Billy Yount also had a brother Harold, with whom Woolfolk would perform occasionally.
It seems Woolfolk stayed true to his rock'n'roll sound, as he released another marvelous disc in 1971 on Style Wooten's Camaro label. These were recorded with the Stargazers, the band of Woolfolk's friend Ken Lynes. Woolfolk gave the old Ernest Tubb song "I Wonder Why You Said Goodbye" an overall new sound and rocked his way through it with nice guitar work, a billowing organ and a dynamic background chorus.
Woolfolk died on October 11, 2013. A great portion of his recordings were issued by Cees Klop in 1986 on the "Memphis - Rock'n'Roll Capital of the World, Volume 3" White Label compilation.

Willem Dafoe's Rubber Home
Built in 1847, Como Home & Garden is an intriguing mix of Australian Regency and classic Italianate architecture. On the other hand, in some states (not sure about Alabama), foreclosures can draw out for months, throughout which period you could be living in the house lease-free. We moved out of our house over 2 years ago, filed bankruptcy which was discharged a year in the past February and included the house in it. A foreclosure was filed but was disposed on account of inactivity and now the house is just sitting there with no additional foreclosures exercise. If all goes effectively, your tenant pays enough to cover the mortgage and you find a place with lower hire which you could afford more simply till your circumstances change for the better. I am upside on my dwelling and appeared into renting however must fund the house to the tune of $1500 after collecting the lease.

Ever since I got a new manager where I work I found out that I had the possibility of working from home. Sounds awesome, right?
The problem is that the desktop I have, especially where I lived at the time, was too far away from the modem and the ethernet cords I had weren't long enough. So here comes the nasty weather the Dallas/Ft Worth Metroplex had back in December last year. At that point I had no internet and no tv (I hadn't broken down and purchased a set of rabbit ears). All I had was the radio and my lap top for writing.
I talked to a few people after my enforced sabbatical and they all basically said they'd die if they didn't have internet. I was actually kinda glad because it was so peaceful and quiet and, more importantly no distractions whatsoever!
Okay, today I finally went BestBuy and got myself a 50 foot ethernet cord. They had a 25 foot one, but I wasn't sure if that'd be long enough. If anything, err on the side of having too much cord (which I ended up having). Okay, I plugged the computer in, but I couldn't access the internet.
I went online with my internet provider for over an hour trying to figure it out. It was only after the fact that I realized that the old desktop had the professional version of XP. That meant I had to let the system know that the remote desktop was to be accessed.
I accessed that icon and then tried to log in. Still didn't work. After a few tries I tried using a different "slash".
Voila! I'm able to access my work server and now work from home if there's nasty weather.
I never thought I'd be more happy than just being able to access the work server.
