Hey friends, in August I decided to start posting one interview with an artist/musician every month. These are interviews that have been posted on the e-zine I co-run with my friends called, The Waking! You can see the first interview I posted with Joy Williams below. This month I want to share with you guys an interview with an incredible artist, Lanae Hale!
Honesty and vulnerability - that is the main theme that runs through the beautiful, acoustic guitar driven songs of Lanae Hale. We discovered her music a year ago and were completely captured by her willingness to share her heart so openly. Lanae was kind enough to answer some questions for us about her music, and her past struggle with self injury. We want to thank Lanae for taking the time to chat with us! Hope you enjoy! :)
TW: Can you tell us the story of how you started playing music and writing songs? Was music something you always wanted to do?
Lanae: I have LOVED music and have LOVED singing ever since I can remember! I grew up in a very musical home. My mom is a singer and my dad is a singer/songwriter and self-taught guitar player! I picked up the guitar when I was about 14 and started writing songs! They would just come out of me. Writing songs was and still is like journaling my heart out, but instead of in a notebook, it's to melodies.
TW: Your latest album,"Back & Forth", which released in 2009, has some of the most beautifully honest songs we've heard. What inspired the songs on this album? And what was the writing and recording process like?
Lanae: My songs are inspired by life! They are inspired through my personal life experiences and struggles and in those I've observed.
Recording is one of my favorite things to do! It is such a creative time! I normally travel and perform alone, so It's so nice to get into the studio and hear my songs put to interesting sounds and instruments. The possibilities are endless in the studio!
TW: The title track, "Back & Forth", is such an honest and transparent song. Can you tell us the story behind this song and what inspired you to write it?
Lanae: God gave me this song, but at the time I didn't really know why. The Lord made it much clearer to me after my album came out. That's when the spiritual warfare came on strong! Satan is NEVER happy, when believers go out in faith and obedience and speak about hope! I realized then how much that song meant to me!
TW: Self injury is an issue that's really close to our hearts here at The Waking. You've mentioned it's something you struggled with in the past. Can you tell us your testimony and how you came through such a dark time?
Lanae: Well, I struggled with the addiction of self-harm for about three years when I began to have lots of suicidal thoughts. I had grown to hate myself and I had forgotten where my hope came from. I ended up reading a scripture in the bible, Psalm 147:3 that says "He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds." At that point, I had taken control of my own life and was trying to numb myself from emotional pain, but I was SO desperate for healing. I knew I had to let go of control and ask if Jesus would heal me. That's when the long journey of recovery began. It was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make, but Jesus was with me every step of the way! If I fell, He was right there to pick me up with His arms of grace and help me start again…clean and without shame or guilt. AMEN!!!
TW: What has the response to your testimony been like? And what would you say to other people who are struggling with this issue?
Lanae: I love that people feel more comfortable to come up and talk to me after a show about life and struggles. I think when we are honest and vulnerable about our personal struggles, satan's lies become exposed and therefore begin to lose power!
TW: Do you sometimes find it difficult or uncomfortable to address such a hard issue or is shedding light on it more freeing?
Lanae: I have been SO grateful that the Lord has been able to use the junk in my life to help bring hope to those who feel trapped and unfixable. I was there too, but the Lord truly is the ultimate healer! It is so worth it to me to expose my past, so that others who are struggling with the same things can see that there is hope and healing!
TW: We love the empowering lyrics of song, "Here's To The Girls". It speaks the heart of so many girls out there. What's the story behind this song?
Lanae: I met a girl and heard her story. She had an extremely rough life and it broke my heart. It seems to be a pattern with most girls that I meet. There is so much heartache hidden underneath! Most girls don't feel beautiful or worth it!
TW: We here at The Waking promote creativity of all kinds. What are some things that inspire your creativity?
Lanae: Being outside, listening to music, riding in the car at night with the windows down, looking at the stars, talking to my best friend (my husband) about life, the ocean, the mountains, a good book...
TW: When you write songs you just seem to put your whole heart out there, and that's what truly draws us to your music. How do you think we as followers of Christ can create art that is honest and real, as opposed to songs full of "Christian clichés"?
Lanae: Just be real and vulnerable! I think we fall into a trap of trying to create a perfect Christian bubble life on the outside, because we are afraid of judgment if we were to reveal our inner struggles. The truth is, life can be messy, and painful and EVERYONE has something they struggle with! I don't care who you are! As believers and followers of Christ, we have hope! This life is just a vapor, it will soon fade and our hope rests not in this life, but in our eternal one with Jesus!
TW: I read that you're in the studio right now recording another album! You just posted a beautiful new song called, "Crossroads", on your "Life with Lanae" video blog. We loved the line "I know that your cross is my road home". Can you tell us a little about the meaning behind this song? And is it going to be on your upcoming album?
Lanae: I wrote Crossroads after having a hard conversation with an old friend who had walked away from the Lord! She had decided to take life into her own hands and do things the way she wanted. Unfortunately, it led her to a very dead end and she tried to commit suicide. I was devastated, because, I knew what she needed. She needed Jesus! I knew that in her life she was at a crossroads and I ached for her to remember and recognize that the cross was her only way back home!

first team / Croix-de-Savoie - OL: D-2
Alain Perrin's Press Conference
Published on the 01 February 2008 à 16:39 by AG avec BV
Of course. There is only one national cup available to us now. We owe it to ourselves to go as far as we can in this competition and to avoid the possible banana skin that the match against Croix-de-Savoie represents.
The draw was pretty good to you, but you will have to be a bit careful nonetheless?
Sure, it is a good draw, we are not going to deny that. It is much better than playing away against a First Division side. It is up to us to impose our tempo, our rythm and our level of performance on the match. If we lower our standards to those of the opposition then it becomes a game like any other, with all the hazards that come with it.
An early goal, like against Créteil, would be ideal ?
Yes an early goal would be good. We know that their main challenge is to be defensively strong as long as possible. It is up to us to make the break through quickly, thus stopping them really getting in to the game but also allow us to rotate the squad with a view to the important games we have coming up.
The team will have to be more aggressive than they were against Le Mans ?
I have spoken to the players about that. It was not just against Le Mans, we have been to timid in our away games for example against Lens or in the 1st half against Saint Etienne we just were not aggressive enough, unlike the performances we put in at home. We were forced to be reactive not proactive and had to chase the game. I hope we will be ready from the word go for the Cup game.
Will Jean-Alain Boumsong be in the starting line-up ?
Yes, Jean-Alain will start. He is qualified for the competition so yes he will start the game. It is important that he finds the necessary automatisms. He has been very motivated in trying to find his marks in the squad. We are counting on his experience, something that will be important against a lower ranked team. The young guys tend not to take these kind of games seriously while the older guys have all been surpised once or twice in their careers by smaller clubs.
Will you be giving Karim Benzema a rest?
Karim or someone else. Crosas and Källström are carrying slight groin problems. Juninho will be rested as he is still not quite fit for this match. Jérémy Toulalan is suspendued. Guys like Kim (Källström) or Crosas with their small problems may be rested but we do not want to weaken the team either.
Sidney Govou has been out for a while and came off against Saint-Etienne. How is he?
Against Saint-Etienne, he really played his part and only came off 5 minutes before the final whistle. Physically he is getting better, it was good for him to get that game under his belt and he will continue to play in order to get back to full match fitness.
The transfer window is now closed. Happy ?
Yes, we have recruited to compensate the departures. There is good balance in the changing room even if the group has been reduced with loan deals for two of our younger players. Considering the amount of remaining games and the imminent return of Cris, I think we have a very competitive group.
Do you think letting Loïc Rémy go was a good idea, he had been getting some playing time under his belt recently?
He was coming on because Kader Keita is at the ANC. But with Delgado signing Kader coming back in about 10 days, Loïc would have played less than he would in any other First Division club. It will be good for everyone, he and us will be able to see where his career is going.
Delgado will have the chance to build up his confidence in a game like Sundays'?
Yes. Confidence comes with amount of time spent with the squad, in training and on the pitch anyway, so it will be a good game for him.
Have you watched Croix-de-Savoie's matches ?
We have watched their two games against Red Star and Auxerre. They are well organised and have good players who will be more than capable of surprising us if we are not careful. Some of their players have a pro background, this is a big game for them they will be playing at 110%. Our difficulty will be breaking down their defence as they will be well in place. It is a bit like driving a Formula 1 on a hilly course : there will not be much space for us to play fluidly. We will have to be on top of our game in order to make the difference.
8 players have been called up by Raymond Domenech for the national team. Is that going to cause you problems ?
The problem is that certain players will be playing a lot of games : on Sunday then Tuesday or Wednesday. I will give Raymond Domenech a call to see what teams he plans on putting out. He will probably know at about 90% who will be playing. I will compose my teams accordingly. The players will fly to Paris from Geneva on Sunday night.
Will Cris be available for the 1st leg against Manchester ?
He has not even started training with the group yet ! We know that after two weeks holiday a player needs 6 weeks to get back to match fitness. Cris has been out 6 months. These things take time and we need to give him all he needs to get back his fitness. We are very happy with the progress his knee has made, now he is lacking a bit of strength.

Tomorrow will be four loops on the Mayor's Cup Men's Championship 8K course at Franklin Park in Boston. The course will be wet as today it's raining off and on. Good thing we picked up spikes!
My plan is to even pace one mile at a time. By keeping focused on the task at hand should help bring a PR. Now, if there were $100 for every mile split it could mentally drive the race. That's what mental training is about, being able to visualize, break down and perform the never before achieved.
If your training is there and the mind is strong, fast times or placement are to be hadd.
Noon, easy 4 miles in 32:40 on the Bowker Flats with a light drizzle at 61 degrees.

Edge of the Empire - Under the Heel
Carh'la Frey
Rictor's aunt
Gavin's now ex-wife, remarried to Gary Frey CEO of Onderon Royal Engineering and member of the Ruling Council of Onderon representing the Merchant Quarter. She loved Gavin, but after such a long time with no word of him finally gave up and remarried.
Carh'la was always close to her sister-in-law Melanah Ninx, and after the fallout in the family from Gunther's death she was taken in by Melanah's newfound beliefs. Not being a fighter herself, she did what she could in convincing her husband Gary Frey to surreptitiously support Melanah's rebel friends efforts.

"It's just … everything. There are too many people. And I don't fit in. I don't know how to be. Nothing that I'm good at is the sort of thing that matters there. Being smart doesn't matter—and being good with words. And when those things do matter, it's only because people want something from me. Not because they want me."
Cath starts college feeling completely alone. Her twin sister, Wren, decided to find her own roommate rather than room with Cath. Cath's random roommate, Reagan, is never around (but her overly-chatty boyfriend always is), and Cath spends most of her time at her computer. No one at the university knows who she is. But online, things are different. Online she is Magicath, one of the most popular writers of Simon Snow fanfiction. Despite her creative writing professor's insistence that fanfiction is not "real" writing, Cath spends all her free time writing new chapters of her fanfiction, "Carry On, Simon." She feels safe there, comforted by the characters she grew up reading about.
But real life…that Cath isn't so great at. She doesn't know how to deal with Wren's newfound party-girl mentality or her dad's on again, off again depression. She struggles to adapt to her new environment. And above all this is the looming fact that the last Simon Snow book is due to be released in the spring, and Cath is determined to finish her fanfiction first, before the real ending is decided.
I loved SO MANY THINGS about this book. Cath, for starters, personifies most creative writers I know, including myself. She has a lot of the same (minor) social anxieties as I do. For example, she goes the first month and a half of college without ever eating in the cafeteria because she's too anxious to go and figure it out (When do I swipe my card? Which way does the buffet line go? Where do I sit once I have my food? Where do I put my dishes when I'm done?). I've never found a character who has a ton of the same quirks as me until Cath. She's also a writing major (well, English, technically, but with a writing focus), and this is the first book I've read with a college-aged creative writer MC. (It did wonders for my grad school motivation!) And I LOVED Levi, her roommate's ever-present boyfriend. He works at Starbucks and is always saying something funny. No spoilers for those who haven't read it, but he will warm your heart like a gingerbread latte! :)
One small thing I found distracting: excerpts of Cath's fanfiction, "Carry On, Simon," are included between chapters. I was so engrossed in the book itself I found myself skimming (or sometimes skipping) the Simon Snow pieces to get back to Cath and Wren and Reagan and Levi because I was so excited to know what happened next. When I reread it, I'll probably pay more attention to the Simon Snow pieces. After all, it's meant to serve as a representation of the Harry Potter craze!
Overall I adored this book and would recommend it to anyone. Even if you aren't a writer, you've definitely been a fan of something (a book, a TV show, a movie), and you'll find your place in this book!
Also, the most adorable, perfect, giggle-like-a-lovestruck-middle-schooler romance I've read in AGES!

The time is now for anyone hoping to spare what might be left of their savings to seriously consider rearranging their holdings. This should in no way to be considered financial advice and anyone seeking professional financial help should consult with a financial specialist. However, a little checking into the not so main stream media paints us a dire picture of events that lie ahead, indeed.
Lately it seems to be becoming very clear that whatever the future might hold could very well not be too rosy at all. If we take time to stop and take a look at some of the most knowledgeable of available sources, it should prompt us to action. There are many clues out there today that might tip off the savvy individual, if looked at with an open mind.
The buy and hold strategy of some investments that worked well in the past may not be the best position to hold in the new economy. That's because we are in a late stage of the old paradigm now and it is not very likely that things will return to the way they once were this time. There are many reasons for this. And it's not just this country that is going through it, although we may fare worse than some of the others. But, for the most part, we are all in this together. There is a very good possibility that what may lie ahead is hyper-inflation that will eat away the savings of most people unless they take significant steps to counteract this soon, maybe starting by as early as the later part of this summer. That would be the most likely outcome with the current money printing policies being implemented at this time. And it won't be easy, if possible at all, to pull out of it any time soon, if ever. This is not meant to instill fear but only to provide information so that some of the possibly disastrous outcomes might be avoided.
Some of you will undoubtedly wave off these warnings as the ranting of some crazy extremist but, like I stated before, if you care to do the research, you will find that some of the best and brightest are starting to come up with these same conclusions. Of course, attempts will be made at nullifying them by the protectors of the old paradigm using ridicule or whatever other means possible. After all, the way things have been up until now works very well for some and any inevitable changes to the system would endanger their positions.

ISIS will destroy all ancient artifacts in Syria and the Syrian mummies is just the beginning of more distraction. They are in particular targeting all the artifacts listed by UNESCO as world heritage, this is in a bit to to get back at the UN which they believe is authored by white people whom they despise so much.
Islamist militants in Iraq and Syria continue their war on the region's cultural heritage, attacking archaeological sites with bulldozers and explosives. ISIS controls large stretches of Syria, along with northern and western Iraq. There's little to stop its militants from plundering and destroying sites under their control in a region known as the cradle of civilization.
If the world does not stop ISIS, the terrorist group will destroy nearly all ancient artifacts and historical sites in Syria. ISIS considers these artifacts to be anti-Islamic; giving he terrorist group cause to destroy them. ISIS will destroy every ancient artifact that falls under its jurisdiction until the land it occupies is liberated.
ISIS is a terrible organization that breeds hate and destruction where ever they go. It is likely they will continue to destroy ancient artifacts in Syria as long as they continue to terrorize the country and whatever people are still left living there. This will not end until ISIS is stopped.

Just a few days after performing at the 2002 Grammy's, Bob Dylan recorded a new re-write of "Gonna Change My Way of Thinking" for "Gotta Serve Somebody: The Gospel Songs of Bob Dylan" with longtime friend Mavis Staples. One month later he would kick off a new tour in Stockholm Sweden and perform Solid Rock (what many consider the theme song to his gospel era concerts) for the first time in 20 years. Dylan would continue to perform this rousing song as well as other gospel era songs at numerous concerts across Europe and beyond. The two-time Grammy nominated compilation would be released on Sony/Columbia one year later on April 1, 2003.

I just discovered him today.
I was immediately amazed how hi-quality his videos are.
Let's show what he have done:
What you are looking at is a legitimate programmable 8-bit computer. It has 2 registers, arithmetic and logic unit, clock, bus, ram... every basic part computer needs to have.
- There are many lights/diodes that allow to debug whole board
- Clock is able to go "step by step" and increase/decrease its frequency through adjustable potentiometer
- Can be programmed through switches on the center left side of the board
- automatic programming through arduino connected to PC is also supported
What is even more awesome: Ben shows in his videos how to build and connect each part step by step.
It's a must-see channel for every programmer.
You will see how from simple components and electricity build legitimate computer by yourself.
It's gold.

Here's an interesting article attached to the page - I have three of these books and think I must have picked up this one at a yard or book sale.
A year ago my 10-year-old niece did her heritage fair project on Bread Making - she illustrated the various ways and techniques used by the early settlers, etc. - here's a photo of her by one of the old stoves. My father said he remembered his grandmother, Annie (Boyle) Cannon, having a stove like this - that was in the late 1930's. My niece won first prize for her project at her elementary school then won at the provincial heritage fair.

SCOTLAND forward Lisa Evans has revealed she will join Bayern Munich in the summer. The 22-year-old from Perth could leave Turbine Potsdam as a German Cup winner as her club qualified for the final with a 2-1 win over Champions League semi-finalists FFC Frankfurt on Wednesday.
"I've been talking to Bayern for a few months," Evans said. "I went down to Munich to visit them and was really impressed. I think they play the best football in the Bundesliga."
Evans's statement is borne out by Bayern's top-of-the-table position with just three games remaining – although Wolfsburg and Frankfurt, who both have four games left, are also contenders. Regardless of how the results fall, Bayern should be assured of one of the two German places in next season's Champions League.
Evans' move follows an injury-ravaged season for the former Glasgow City player, who is deployed in a front three for Potsdam but usually plays wide on the left for Scotland. What first appeared to be shin splints was later diagnosed as a stress fracture, and although she played in both of Scotland's disappointing World Cup play-off matches against the Netherlands in October, she wasn't fully fit.
The former St Johnstone Girls player missed last month's Cyprus Cup but has returned to the Potsdam team and is in the Scotland squad for next Thursday's friendly against Australia at the Falkirk Stadium.
"I've missed it a lot," she said of her recent absences from international duty. "I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone again."
Although Evans is leaving a far more successful club – Potsdam have won six Bundesliga titles since 2004 and won the Champions League twice – the potential of a successful Bayern Munich side is obvious. The women's team have their own 10,000-seater stadium and have been rejuvenated under 33-year-old coach Thomas Worle, who has assembled a remarkably cosmopolitan squad with players from nine different countries even before Evans' arrival.
"In previous years they have always threatened in the league but fallen away through not having the experience," Evans pointed out. "They have brought in Melanie Behringer [a German midfielder with more than 100 caps] as captain and that, added to the depth of squad they have, has made a huge difference."
Before she leaves Potsdam, who have a slim chance of snatching a Champions League spot, Evans has the German Cup final against Wolfsburg at Cologne's RheinEnergieStadion to anticipate.
"It's going to be very exciting," she said of the game on 1 May, "and it would mean a lot to have a winners' medal. It would be the first thing I've won in Germany."
QUIZ: can you name these 16 Scottish footballers from the nineties/ early 2000s?

A 99er Tier 5 Unemployment Extension Benefits Overlooked By Congress
100 comments:
- AnonymousSeptember 20, 2010 at 11:37 AM
Disgusting how they debate so much but never seem to debate how we pay for all the billions sent to other countries or on pork. How why do we need military bases in Europe cold war ended long ago. There is so much we waste billions on yet not providing more UI help us where they decide to care about the deficit or where Dems refuse to stimulus money to pay for it. All the games and they don't care how they mess with out lives. Its not games to us it real and we need tier 5 to pay enough bills not to lose out homes. If they didn't waste so many billions the deficit issue a reason over no tier 5 might be valid yet its not. How is this to cut deficit. We pull out troops home and have no military or bases anywhere but in the USA. Stop giving any foreign aid. All money stays in USA. Then lets see how the world likes us. Won't be any worse then now. After we balance out budget and pay down the debt we can consider giving foreign aid again. America first when we run deficits.ReplyDelete

Washington is returning a substantial chunk of its population to namadic slavery. We are witnessing a micro-society in itself.....the unemployed. This micro society has its own division of class. Lower, middle, and upper. The middle class will live in their cars, crates, and shelters. The lower class lives under bridges, park benches, or anywhere they collapse from exhaustion and lack of nutrition. The upper class live with atual roofs over their heads, whether it be in buildings, houses, tenements, jails or prisons.ReplyDelete

Hey big daddy...shove it you self righteous jerk. People do pound the pavement. When ONE job opens up and several hundred people apply, many qualified people get left in the dust. Employers can afford to be ultra picky and get exactly what they want. You would know that if you were in the position that the unemployed are. I was unemployed for almost 2 years and got extremely lucky to get the job I have now, which is a far cry from what I was making before, but i had to take it. After 2 years and hundreds of resumes sent out, I had to take anything. So until you have been in our shoes, keep your mouth shut your jerk.ReplyDelete

Hopefully "Bid Daddys" 401K TANKS and he will be w/o any cash. Or perhaps, his last employer will just stop payment on his retirement and leave him stranded w/o a way to make a living. With that said, "BD" can still grab a gaylord box to sleep in; perhaps two so he can have room for his family....a duplex!! Wow, he will even have a double layer of cardboard to keep him comfy.

I know because I actually went out to places to apply in person and that's what I was told. So take your rich boy bullshit someplace else. When people lose their jobs through NO FAULT of their own and then cannot find one, it is not from lack of effort, it's from a lack of jobs asshole. From the government that cuts programs that provide work, then has the balls to turn around and tell the unemployed to get a job. Go back to Washington asshole, stop living off people like us and go drink some battery acid.ReplyDelete

Liberals are ANTI-CORPORATE WELFARE, welfare is for people not Corporations. We demand that ALL Corporations, Businesses, and Government have a primary obligation to Benifit Humanity, Community and Country! liberals belong to all faiths and are as devout as any.ReplyDelete
From the things I've heard you'd think Liberals hate America, Obviously it's childish hyperbole, the fact is most people have liberal and conservative values, nobody I've ever met were either liberal or conservative. There are lots of people working hard to divide America into manageable groups so they can take what they want, just remember America is a family, United we stand Divided we fall!

Please do not vote for any Republican Candidates in November 2010. They tried to block all of the Unemployment Insurance (UI) Extensions. They are going to screw all of us to be poor and poorer so they will tell us what to do!!! They shipped most of the jobs to overseas so the rich get richer and the poor get poorer!!! In addition, they tried to extend the tax cut from Bush administration to the Multimillionaires/Billionaires while they tried to block all of the Unemployment Extensions. They claimed that it is creating more deficits. It really irritated me because they are hypocrites. Unfortunately, they do not care if the Unemployment people are dying or not. However, they only care the rich get richer and less debt so their asset won't get inflated it!!!
Furthermore, they used the psychological warfare to interfere other countries like Human Rights, Freedom of Speeches, Freedom of religions, and so on to interfere other countries so they can be benefitted!!!
Unfortunately, the animals have the right to live. The Unemployment people do not have the right to live or survived!!! What kind of the Human Right???
The Republican Party does not walk like they talk. They are blood suckers and very sneaky!!!
Please do not vote for them in November 2010. They would create a lot of minimum wage jobs so they will control us and tell us what to do!!! This is the Principal Doctrine 101 of the Republican Party!!!

You show up you get paid and help out the local community in the process. We could learn from our own history. FDR did it so what is Obama waiting for??

Insert: Put Millions to Work Rebuilding the Nation: The FDR Model from 1933
January 1, 2004 • 1:00 AM
by Marcia Merry Baker and Edward Spannaus
In November 1933, at the direction of President Franklin Roosevelt, his emergency relief administrator Harry Hopkins established the Civil Works Administration, putting 800,000 people to work within ten days, and almost 2 million to work within two weeks. Over 4 million people were working on CWA projects within nine weeks—the largest peace time mobilization in U.S. history. They were put to work building and repairing streets and roads, bridges and sewers, schools and public buildings, playgrounds and parks, and in projects of flood control and water management.

To those repeating "POUND THE PAVEMENT" over and over again, who's to say the unemployed aren't? I know I sure did last year. I applied for everything from management to McDonalds and all in between. Do you know what got me a job? Luck. Sheer luck and an old boss that laid me off the year before who sold me to the new one pretty hard after I searched and "pounded the pavement" for a year. He only did this because my boyfriend still happened to work there. Luck and a connection and without both I'd be long past the point of being a 99er.ReplyDelete
Here's what I experienced during that search, and I'm sure many of the unemployed are still facing it. Jobs at my level were few and far between. There were hundreds of applicants for the same position, and I mostly never even got a call back. Lower wage jobs I at least managed to get an interview for, but the outcome remained the same "I'm not sure this position would be challenging enough for you" or some other version of it. I was over qualified for the low end jobs, and there are simply not enough skilled jobs left. That's it in a nutshell, at least in my area.
Failing to "pound the pavement" is not the issue here. Even those willing to take pay cuts and make less then a living wage can't find a job because employers know as soon as something better comes along they'd be gone. It happened over and over again to me. It's happening over and over again to my friends. These are educated people perfectly willing to work in Walmart, but Walmart won't hire them. What's your solution to that?

Big Daddy, I want you to know what a great judge of moral character that you posses for coming down hard on so many poor unfortunate well educated people who have worked extremely hard all their lives and paid extremely high taxes through the nose to the government. When there was an oil shortage 2 yrs ago, how many corrupt politicans, Wall Street Executives, and others like you were hedging and buying up all available oil supplies and sending them to offsite holding facilities, so that they can drive the price of gasoline up more so that they can make huge profits on it. The Oil explosion in the Gulf earlier this year exposed their wicked lies and deeds. Where was the Oil shortage? I am willing to bet that if you are going to take that brand new yatch of yours sailing in the Gulf of Mexico that after a few hours of sailing your new yatch will look like some one had put on several coats of drive way sealer on it. No oil in America, Ha! Who are the hypocrits and liars now?? Certainly not the Main Street American People. It was the Federal Reserve and the Corrupt politicians in government that caused all the damn economic problems in the first place, starting with Bank Degregulation in 1982. This gave the banks a free for all to allow them to do anything their hearts desire starting with the credit card business by charging ridiculous interest rates. It was people like you that are the cause of the ruination of this country. These bankers made huge loans to people they know who could not afford to pay them and sold these toxic assets to their very own kind on Wall Street. The North American Free Trade Agreement passed by the Clinton Adminitration with all the Asian Countries did also well to destroy this country. Bush as president introduced many mega corporation tax cuts which allowed very large corporations to prosper and caused most of the main Street American Jobs to go overseas. That was serving the people all right! Corporate America profits have more than doubled due to outsourcing.The Big Corporations are crying right now quote using your own words, "WaaWaa I want my Bush CorporateTax cuts right now! Waa! Waa!". Main Street American money was used to bail out AIG and other large banks. You are so far wacked out of your mind that if the truth bit you in the ass, you would not feel it. Your lack of common sense, moral values makes you the bigoted Jerk! You are great for judging other people, but not yourself. King Louis XVI had the same idea until he lost his head from the shoulders up. I know your tactics that give yourself away under the guise of many different aliases I do not think that you ever had a formal University Education! Your lack of the social graces and ignorance in the humanities illustrates the point very well. Any person can do the same thing to try to fool other person. I bet that your Big Boat that you claim to have hasn't left home port. You are just too damn busy watching a computer 24hrs watching out other comments about you! I really feel deeply inside for the poor families who have lost everything they worked for and the hell they are facing. Asking the question ,how do you ever find enough time to go sailing by breaking away from the computer long enough to enjoy your miserable life and spend your millions on yourself. You do not have to be extremely rich to have a Class! Respect has to be earned! Surely you must be competing for the Guiness World Book of records for the title of being the most annoying Hypocrite! I am sure that you will get your just reward! Any type of rich person with a big boat, lots of money, would never waste his time staying all day on the computer watching what other people have to say! God have mercy on you! You do not fit the profile of the rich and famous. Happy Sailing (simple minded) !ReplyDelete

On their wedding night, the young bride approached her new husband andReplyDelete
asked for $20.00 for their first lovemaking encounter. In his highly
aroused state, her husband readily agreed.
This scenario was repeated each time they made love, for more than 30
years, with him thinking that it was a cute way for her to afford new
clothes and other incidentals that she needed.
Arriving home around noon one day, she was surprised to find her
husband in a very drunken state.
During the next few minutes, he explained that his employer was going
through a process of corporate downsizing, and he had been let go. It
was unlikely that, at the age of 59, he'd be able to find another
position that paid anywhere near what he'd been earning, and therefore,
they were financially ruined.
Calmly, his wife handed him a bank book which showed more than thirty
years of steady deposits and interest totaling nearly$1 million. Then
she showed him certificates of deposits issued by the bank which were
worth over $2 million, and informed him that they were one of the
largest depositors in the bank.
She explained that for the more than three decades she had "charged" him
for sex, these holdings had multiplied and these were the results of
her savings and investments.
Faced with evidence of cash and investments worth over $3 million, her
husband was so astounded he could barely speak, but finally he found his
voice and blurted out, "If I'd had any idea what you were doing, I would
have given you all my business!"
That's when she shot him.
You know, sometimes, men just don't know when to keep their mouths shut.

We each payed about $ 567. per year for something that is rarely used over the decades and only by 8 - 10 of the population. So where is all the money ? it should have a surplus in the trillions.

for all of us 99ers i have been unemployed for a very long time do to health issues. my husband owns his own company.so i am more fortunate than others. but i can empathise with all our 99er friends. every week i spend about 30 to 40 dollars on groceries. it may not be what we want to eat but we don't go to bed hungry. as for the tier 5 i hope that it passes too. as for big daddy shooting his mouth off. the only thing i can say to you is i pray it never happens to you. because it happened to a friend of mine and he blew his brains out. he left behind a wife and 2 children. i help them as much as i can. do you help anyone or are you just one of those people that is selfish you know like all the republicans are .and if you don't help anyone out well shut the hell up.

Simple solution: The Republicans were voted in they asked us for their help we gave it to them and now they are screwing up the lives of the unemployed and their families. Believe me I will never vote for a Republican again. They do not care about middle America, just their own agenda and tax cuts, makes me sick. So all of the people who think the unemployed are dead beats let them walk in the unemployeds shoes or shut the hell up.ReplyDelete

Bear Day : 14th Sept
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools," said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence"
11.40am : Just back from gym ... listening to old-songs for today ... this is one of my fav old-hits. Sound of Silence ... the original version.
KLCI at 1660 level, down some 16-17 points ... but no panic selling seen. So ... no buying. Wait for 1620 level ...
Cliff Richard's songs in my playlist ... turning into my childhood time ... my aunt's SK fav ... and ABBA too.
I still like this song ... Women in Love.
So .. as we are not watching markets since we cleared, what should we be doing?
Listening to songs is one of the soothing and healing ...
It is the Power Of Love ... nice, right?
Then ... go for nice coffee ... while do my readings again.
e-meeting tonight, talking about cut-loss again? No need la ...

NOOOOOOO or why i hate extended maintenance day.
It is almost 3pm and the server remains down. I was actually enjoying the midsummer festivities and looking forward to continuing today. I am thinking we are about to get a patch when we log on today.... another delay in being able to play. I just returned from vacation which included not playing WOW so I am feeling a bit like a heroin addict that relapsed and now I can't get a hold of my drug dealer for my next fix. We made several attempts on the blood princes last night, they were down to 25% the last one. We are going to lock the raid and see how that goes, to the dismay of some of the people who want to get their frost every week. I can see both sides of the issue. I want to progress though. I think. I just want to playyyyyy. (whine)

Was it true he felt he`d been ``locked out`` of the game, frustrated because he hadn`t been used the way he`d hoped and was so upset he was thinking about quitting? ``Yes, I`m upset,`` said Payton. ``You wouldn`t think of quitting, would you?`` asked INC. To which Walter replied, ``Yes, I will.`` Then he walked away. Wait a minute, Walter! Will what? Will think of it, or will do it? Walter?

It's that time of year when watching classic christmas films with a cup of tea whilst the wind and rain howls outside is the best part of your weekend. My all time favourite has to be the 1940's classic 'It's a Wonderful Life', the moving story, the christmas spirit but all I can think of when watching is how graceful Donna Reed (Mary Hatch) is with her elegant charm and stunning wardrobe, who wouldn't idolize this dainty creature? So I decided to check out this seasons forties glamour trend in vogue and found it has inspired some of this seasons best party dresses. Therefore I only thought it right to glance at a few best finds and found this Topshop velvet dress with lace collar (below) which matches Donna's dress in the last scene of the film perfectly, with a younger trendier twist to the style. At £65 it's a bit steep to fork out but the look is well worth it and you will definitely be the part at all the crimbo parties with this forties replica. HAPPY REEDING!
For a cheaper alternative why not team this Miss Selfridge dress (below) £22 with a lace collar necklace? I found this one (below) on ebay at just £12 but I'm sure with a bit more searching a few more squids could be knocked off!

Growing into womanhood, I loved me some Prince! Like most young women, I had a crush on one of the Jacksons and then the Sylvers, but when Prince came on the scene, it was love at first sight. He was the bad boy of my day, but in a different way. Prince blurred the lines and pushed past pre-imposed boundaries. Prince embraced his masculine and feminine self and flaunted it. He was gender fluid before we even knew what it was. He was super sexy and spiritual at the same time. His creative genius was evident in music that defied categorization. A little bit pop, a little bit soul, a little bit rock and roll--and beyond.
During the Purple Rain period, I was a Prince-loving fool! His concert at the Rosemont Herizon sold out before I could get tickets. When I heard on the radio that another show was being added, I was determined to be in the place. So, my niece and I hatched a plan. We decided to camp out at the venue so we'd be in line when the tickets went on sale. Even though we were grown and working, my mother still wanted to know our whereabouts. I don't know what lie we told to leave the house at 2:00 am, but we managed to get out.
We went by a friend's house and gently knocked on the window and told her to come outside. When she got in the car, we told her the plan. She laughed, said we were crazy, but went along for the ride. When we arrived there were about 50 people ahead of us. We set up our chairs and blankets and got our place in line. Though it was an Indian summer October, it was still cool at night. And we settled in for one of the greatest experiences of my life! Somebody was selling snacks and hot chocolate. We met people who had camped out before, and they gave us pointers. We sang songs. We played games. And when the box office opened, we bought our tickets. I went into the bathroom of the Rosemont, cleaned up and changed my clothes for work. When the concert rolled around, I had purple everything including purple panties! I even put a purple streak in my hair. And I am not a huge fan of concerts. There are very few people I like to see perform live.
I'm happy that I got to see Prince live in my lifetime. It was a great concert experience despite the fact the Rosemont was a huge space and it was hard to see Prince on the stage. This was before they had the concerts broadcast on the big screens. I remember going to the movies to see Purple Rain, and they had over-sold the theater. We were late and ended up sitting on the stairs, but we didn't care. We just wanted to be in the presence of his Royal Highness. I look back and laugh at my obsession with Prince and all things purple. I still love purple.
Even after my obsession waned, I still liked him as an artist. And I always like what he stood for. Prince was unapologetically Prince. He was a musical genius who dared to be different and did. He didn't follow trends, he was a trendsetter. He gave us permission to just go crazy. And even though Prince was risque, he ironically reminds me of a time of innocence, purity and simplicity. It was a great time to be young and unencumbered.
As I reflect on the legacy of Prince Rogers Nelson, my biggest take away is: Be You! Everyone else is taken. Prince lived that; he was one of a kind. His physical presence will be missed, but his energy and his spirit will reign always and forever in the purple places of our hearts.

Toward the end of his life William Blake began a series
of illustrations for Dante's DIVINE COMEDY for his
patron and friend John Linnell. Blake left 102 of these
watercolor illustrations when he died: seventy-two for
the Inferno, twenty for the Purgatorio, and ten for the
Paradiso. Blake's designs are said to be not mere
illustrations but commentary on Dante's text.
(Martin Butlin)
One illustration for the Paradiso particularly caught my
attention in the Blake Archive:
Link to Blake Archive
In Martin Butlin's WILLIAM BLAKE, published by the
Tate, he makes these comments on the picture I noticed:
"Blake illustrates the successive appearances of
St. Peter, St. James and St. John. St. Peter, who
questions Dante on Faith, is represented by Blake's
type for Urizen; St. James, who questions Dante on
Hope, as Luvah; and St. John, who questions Dante on
Love, as Los or the Poetic Genius. Together they
represent Reason, Feeling and Imagination. The
overlapping of the three globes in which they are
shown, embracing Dante and Beatrice whose echoing
gestures reflect harmony, is a marvelously vivid image
of reunion of Man's various elements that is requisite
of true salvation."
Quite a summation of the Bible, Blake's myth, religion
and psychology!
The picture named 'St. Peter, St. James, Dante and
Beatrice with St. John also' can be found at:
Blake's image from Dante
In this picture it is fascinating to see how Blake
integrated Dante's poetry into his own visual
Dante's three conversations with St. Peter, St. James
and St. John about faith, hope and love respectively
are amalgamated into one scene. Blake himself
wouldn't be left out of the creative process, so he gives
the three saints correspondence to three of his Zoas.
He skews the character of the Zoas to align them with
the saints .
Urizen is a pretty good fit with St. Peter since Blake has
identified Urizen with the fallen church consistently.
The association of Urizen with faith is perhaps by his
building a structure to try to make sense of being.
Peter's first recognition of Jesus as the Messiah is a
prime example of his faith. The identification of Peter
with Urizen is implied by his facial appearance which is
congruent with multiple images of Urizen as he is
associated with the vengeful God of the Old Testament,
and by the faint image of the scroll which Peter holds in
his left hand.
For a rare image of the Four Zoes together, see:
4z's in Book of Urizen
If Luvah is paired with St. James, it might be on the
basis of putting into practice the spiritual truth we
receive, which is emphasized in the New Testament
'Letter of James.' I don't know why hope would be
associated with either St. James or Luvah.
Los, the Eternal Prophet, pictured as the descending
Holy Spirit becomes in the picture, St. John, the author
of the Apocalypse or 'Book of Revelation.' Although it is
not the characteristic usually assigned to Los, love is
entirely appropriate to him in his role as the Poetic
Genius opening the world to imagination. St. John
exemplifies love as the author of the gospel stressing
unity among men, and between God and man.
In his characteristic way of making his figures
ambiguous or subject to multiple interpretations, Blake
may have been thinking of the lower central image of
Dante and Beatrice as Albion, (Humanity as realized in
the one Man) or as Tharmas the fourth of the Four
Zoas, who can be associated with the senses or the
physical body.
Better students than I, of Dante, Blake and the Bible
should be able to see much more in this picture than I do.

The Web?s days are numbered. So what?s next?
The X-Internet, which boosts online user?s quality of experience and accelerates the number of connected devices. The once hottest technology ever evolved, 'Internet' is already being dubbed as 'dumb, boring and isolated' and the days of the World Wide Web are numbered. The web we know today will fade. It will be replaced by a new software paradigm. Some call it the X Internet; others The Semantic Web. The web we know is evolving. Gone will be the days of browser-based applications. The X-Internet will not be a new invention, but rather the evolution of today's Internet of static Web pages and cumbersome e-commerce mechanisms into a Net that relies on executable software code to deliver more interactive experiences.
As the Internet expands, two new waves of innovation comprising the X-Internet are already eclipsing the Web: an executable Net that greatly improves the online experience and an extended Net that connects the real world. An executable Net that supplants today's Web will move code to user PCs and cause devices to captivate consumers in ways static pages never could. The extended Internet is reshaping technology's role in business through Internet devices and applications which sense, analyze, and control data, therefore providing more real-time information than ever before about what is going on in the real world. The extended Internet will include the widespread adoption of real-world appliances, like air conditioners or car tires that communicate with owners or manufacturers via the Internet. X-Internet pushes connectivity past computers to other interactive devices, such as cell phones and televisions, and from there to a range of consumer products and applications.
Executable Internet applications use downloaded code like Java and XML to enhance the user experience with pop-up menus, pick lists, graphics and simple calculations. Unlike the existing Web wherein the browser pops up essentially static pages of information, the executable Internet will enable a conversation between two ?high IQ entities? on either side, with interactivity level rising to hitherto unforeseen levels as intelligent applications execute code on the user?s PC or other devices.
