After months of knocking on doors, organizing direct actions, shutting down a City Council meeting, and a leaked memo showing that the City Attorney advised Oakland Council members last February that the deal was illegal, EastLake United for Justice successfully stopped a sweetheart deal between the City of Oakland developer Urban Core. The deal was to sell off prime city-owned lakeside land to the developer for just $5 million. The developer's plan to build over 300 units of luxury housing drew opposition from community members, and also violated the state's Surplus Land Act which requires 15% affordable housing for developments on land sold off by cities.
Now, the City is putting the project back out to bid, and Eastlake residents want to make sure that the development reflects their needs. They're organizing the East 12th Wishlist: Peoples Planning Forum this weekend, to engage residents around how they want to see this parcel developed.
Guests: Krishna Desai and Amy Vanderwarker, Eastlake United for Justice.
Richmond Oil Trains
After a train carrying Bakkan crude oil from North Dakota derailed and exploded in Quebec last summer killing 47 people, the practice of carrying oil by rail has come under scrutiny by communities that live along the rail lines. The disaster took place several months after the Bay Area Air Quality Management District gave Kinder Morgan a permit to transport Bakkan crude oil through Richmond, and Richmond residents want the decision reversed.

Public Sector Unions and the Movement for Black Lives
After Michael Brown was shot and killed in Ferguson Missouri one year ago, Ferguson residents put out a call for direct actions to shut down business as usual and demand an end to the war on black people. Groups across the country have been responding to that call, shutting down freeways, shopping malls, and police stations.
Among them is the United Auto Workers Local 2865 – they represent UC graduate student workers. Earlier this summer, they called on the AFL-CIO to end its affiliation with the International Union of Police Associations. Today, we're looking specifically at how public sector unions are relating to the Movement for Black Lives.

I want to hook up a 24 port switch to a cable router which is hooked up to my cable modem. Does the switch have to be managed or unmanaged? What is the recommended switch model I should use?
It doesn't matter, whether the switch is managed or unmanaged.
Current routers supports Auto-MDI(X) (Auto Uplink), so that you can simply use an ordinary LAN cable to connect the router to the switch.
Managed are a whole lot more expensive than unmanaged. Also, I highly doubt you have any real requirement for a managed switch so save your $$$ and buy an unmanaged switch.
While most every modern switch and router are auto MDIX capable, it's still recommended you use a crossover cable to connect them as it's one less thing to have to worry about should you ever need to troubleshoot the connection.

Omen: The Obama?Obama the beast

Labels: Humor, Presidential Election
"We have a real chance in Pennsylvania. We are in trouble in Colorado, Nevada and Virginia. We have lost Iowa and New Mexico. We are OK in Missouri, Ohio and Florida. Our voter intensity is good and we can match their buy dollar for dollar starting today till the election. It's a long shot but it's worth fighting for."
Labels: Aborticide, Federal Courts, Presidential Election
The contest is still volatile, and the split among voters is apparent less than two weeks before Election Day."I trust McCain more, and I do feel that he has more experience in government than Obama. I don't think Obama has been around long enough," said Angela Decker, 44, of La Porte, Ind.
McCain has posted big gains among likely voters earning under $50,000 a year; he now trails Obama by just 4 percentage points compared with 26 earlier. He has surged among rural voters; he has an 18-point advantage, up from 4.
To start with, political polling is inherently imperfect. Academic pollsters say that to get a really random sample, you should go back to a designated respondent in a specific household time and again until you get a response. But political pollsters who must report results overnight have to take the respondents they can reach. So they weight the results of respondents in different groups to get a sample that approximates the whole population they're sampling.
Another problem is the increasing number of cell phone-only households. Gallup and Pew have polled such households, and found their candidate preferences aren't much different from those with landlines; and some pollsters have included cell-phone numbers in their samples. A third problem is that an increasing number of Americans refuse to be polled. We can't know for sure if they're different in some pertinent respects from those who are willing to answer questions.
Yet there was a curious anomaly: In most primaries Mr. Obama tended to receive higher percentages in exit polls than he did from the voters. What accounts for this discrepancy?
For the record, Michael Barone still believes that Barack Obama has a slight advantage, as do I. However, as in 1948, opinion can change in the final week of the campaign, and as we saw in 2004, exit polls are no longer an accurate barometer because an increasing number of people do not wish to share their voting preferences with pollsters no matter what those happen to be.
Those of you in the party opposite who were hoping for a quick election night victory may be in for another very long evening.

I live in the Vanderbilt area, and I can't believe how many young people are for McCain. I can only hope they aren't going home to vote and aren't registered here! I live in a condo building where a lot of students rent from the owners, and the only students I've met who are supporting Obama are from Europe, Asia or Africa and can't vote here.
It seems like the world wants him, I'm just not so sure about America, and certainly Tennessee won't go for him.

AAA Reaction to GM Senate Commerce Hearing
July 17th, 2014 by AAA
ORLANDO, Fla., (July 17, 2014) – "Today's Senate Commerce hearing again sheds light on the unacceptable failure of GM executive management to adequately oversee and respond to early warning signals of potential vehicle safety problems. AAA acknowledges GM's recent steps to transform its corporate culture by implementing new protocols and procedures intended to help prevent similar crises in the future. However, it is clear more must be done to restore public trust in the recall process, repair compromised vehicles and compensate motorists who have been impacted by GM's failure to protect their safety. This includes a thorough examination of the existing regulatory structure, and putting in place any changes deemed necessary."
"AAA continues to support efforts by Congress to raise the maximum fine that NHTSA can levy on automakers, along with legislation introduced by Senators Markey and Blumenthal calling for increased transparency in the recall process. These steps should be taken immediately, and Congress should further use its authority to identify additional ways to help ensure that a tragedy such as this is never allowed to occur again."
Transportation Funding Plan Must Focus on the Long-Term Needs of Drivers
July 10th, 2014 by AAA
Statement by Bob Darbelnet, President and CEO of AAA
(WASHINGTON, July 10, 2014) "Funding for America's roads and bridges is once again in imminent danger of running out. Both the House and Senate will act today on short-term plans to prop up the Highway Trust Fund, but it remains unclear whether either proposal will help meet the long-term needs of drivers.
"The only way that a short-term patch of the Highway Trust Fund is acceptable is if it buys Congress a few months to work on finalizing a bipartisan, long-term agreement later this year. Any proposal that allows this issue to be pushed into 2015 would kill the momentum to find a real funding solution. Renewing the debate next year under a new Congress would start us over at square one, making it nearly impossible to secure long-term transportation funding anytime soon.
"It's time our leaders in Washington stop the hand-wringing and start taking real steps to shore up funding for the roads and bridges that we rely on every day. Continuing to put off tough decisions about how to fund transportation will risk road safety and compromise our economic vitality."
AAA Projects 41 Million Americans to Celebrate Summer Freedom with an Independence Day Getaway
June 26th, 2014 by AAA
Optimistic Americans dusting off credit cards for a Fourth of July vacation.
ORLANDO, Fla., (June 26, 2014) – AAA Travel projects 41 million Americans will journey 50 miles or more from home during the Independence Day holiday weekend, a 1.9 percent increase from the 40.3 million people who traveled last year and a nearly 14 percent increase compared to the Memorial Day holiday weekend. The majority of travelers will be celebrating their freedom with a road trip, with more than eight in 10 (34.8 million) choosing to travel by automobile, the highest level since 2007. The Independence Day holiday travel period is defined as Wednesday, July 2 to Sunday, July 6.
Highlights from 2014 Independence Day Travel Forecast include:
- Willingness to take on credit card debt, not an increase in income, is responsible for the increase in consumer spending.
- Nearly five million more Americans are expected to travel for Independence Day than for Memorial Day.
- Travel volume for Independence Day has grown four out of the past five years and is expected to be more than six percent higher than the average of the past 10 years.
- Holiday air travel is expected to increase one percent to 3.1 million travelers from 3.07 million last year.
- Travelers will encounter airfares five percent lower than last year and car rental costs that remain consistent with last year at $58.
- Hotel rates at AAA Two Diamond hotels are 15 percent higher than last year and Three Diamond hotels are nine percent more.
Additional Resources
"With school out for summer, the Fourth of July holiday is typically the busiest summer travel holiday, with five million more Americans traveling compared to Memorial Day weekend," said AAA Chief Operating Officer Marshall L. Doney. "In line with tradition, most travelers are celebrating their newfound summer freedom with an all-American road trip."
An increase in consumer spending is primarily due to increasing credit, rather than rising incomes. Consumers have been hesitant to add to their credit card balances the past several years, but continued improvements in the employment picture and rising home values means they are starting to feel more comfortable taking on debt. In addition to consumer spending, a boost in consumer confidence and the employment outlook are driving more Americans to take a road trip.
"Steady improvement in the economy has spurred increased consumer confidence and spending," continued Doney. "Optimistic Americans are more willing to take on debt this year, dusting off their credit cards to pay for a much-needed Independence Day getaway."
Travelers likely to pay most expensive Independence Day gas prices in six years
AAA expects the majority of U.S. drivers likely will pay the highest gas prices for Independence Day since 2008. Today's national average price of gas is about 20 cents per gallon more expensive than the average on July 4, 2013, which was $3.48 per gallon. In recent years gas prices have declined in the weeks leading up to Independence Day, but this has not occurred this summer due to higher crude oil costs as fighting intensifies in Iraq. AAA does not believe that high gas prices will have a significant impact on the number of people traveling, but it could result in some consumers cutting back on dining, shopping or other trip activities. AAA provides the latest gas prices for the nation, states and metro areas at FuelGaugeReport.AAA.com.
Travel expenses mixed
According to AAA's Leisure Travel Index, hotel rates for AAA Three Diamond lodgings are expected to increase nine percent from one year ago with travelers spending an average of $178 per night compared to $164 last year. The average hotel rate for AAA Two Diamond hotels has risen 15 percent with an average cost of $137 per night.
Weekend daily car rental rates will average $58, the same as last year. Airfares have declined five percent with the average round-trip, discounted fare for the top 40 U.S. routes costing $215, down from $228 last year.

Two-Thirds of Americans Believe the Federal Government Should Increase Transportation Spending
June 10th, 2014 by AAA
WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 10, 2014) – Two-thirds of Americans (68 percent) believe the federal government should invest more than it does now on roads, bridges and mass transit systems, according to a new AAA omnibus survey of 2,013 adults. Only five percent of respondents believe the federal government should spend less on transportation. These results come as AAA urges members of Congress to increase the fuel tax, which will address significant transportation safety and congestion issues nationwide.
Survey Highlights
- About half of Americans (52 percent) are willing to pay higher fuel taxes per month on average for better roads, bridges and mass transit systems.
- Nearly three times as many people (51 percent) are more likely to vote for a member of Congress who supports increased federal spending on transportation than would be less likely (19 percent).
- Approximately two-thirds of Americans (67 percent) agree that taxes on gasoline and diesel consumption are appropriate for transportation funding.
- More people believe that roads, bridges and transit systems have declined in quality over the previous three years (43 percent) than those who believe the quality has improved (32 percent).
AAA Commentary
"Americans are fed up with record-long commutes, unsafe highways and never-ending potholes caused by political inaction," said Bob Darbelnet, AAA President and CEO. "Congress must prevent severe maintenance delays during the height of the summer driving season by preventing a Highway Trust Fund bankruptcy in August."
AAA supports a federal gas tax increase, provided the funds go towards projects that ease congestion and improve safety. The gas tax is the most efficient and fair method available to pay for transportation maintenance and improvements in the near term. An increase in fuel taxes, spent wisely, should help reduce the estimated $324 per year in additional vehicle repairs and operating costs that the average driver currently spends due to poor road conditions.
The Department of Transportation expects the federal Highway Trust Fund will run out of money this summer without Congressional action, which would delay transportation maintenance and improvement projects nationwide.
"Many of us are willing to pay a little more if it means we will have access to better roads, bridges and transit systems," continued Darbelnet. "It is time for our nation's leaders to stand with those in Congress who support improving our country's transportation system."
The federal Highway Trust Fund is supported by the 18.4 cents per gallon gas tax and 24.4 cents per gallon tax on diesel. Congress has not raised this tax since 1993. Due to inflation and increased fuel economy, the purchasing power of the current tax has been cut nearly in half.
Survey Questions and Results
- Do you believe the quality of roads, bridges and mass transit systems you regularly use have significantly improved; improved; neither improved nor declined; declined; or significantly declined in the past three years?
Total Significantly improved 4% Improved 28% Neither improved nor declined 23% Declined 27% Significantly declined 16%
- Do you think the federal government should invest more, less or the same as it does now for roads, bridges and mass transit systems?
Total More 68% Less 5% The Same 24%
- On average, U.S. drivers contribute about eight dollars per month in federal fuel taxes towards the nation's roads, bridges and mass transit systems. How much more, if any, would you be willing to pay on a monthly basis for roads, bridges and mass transit systems?
Total Not willing to pay more 41% Willing to pay more (net) 52% $0.01-$4.99 20% $5.00-$9.99 11% $10 or more 21%
- If your Congressional representative were to support increased federal spending for U.S. roads, bridges and mass transit systems, would you be significantly more likely; somewhat more likely; neither more nor less likely; somewhat less likely; or significantly less likely to vote for them in the next election?
Total Significantly more likely 17% Somewhat more likely 34% Neither more nor less likely 27% Somewhat less likely 9% Significantly less likely 10%
- Federal funding for roads, bridges and mass transit systems comes primarily from taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel consumption. Do you think this is an appropriate way to raise funds for this transportation investment?
Total Yes 67% No 29%
AAA conducted a telephone survey among two national probability samples (landline only and cell phone), consisting of a combined total of 2,013 adults (1,009 men and 1,004 women), 18 years of age and older and living in the continental United States. Interviewing for this survey was conducted with two waves taking place on May 1-4 and May 8-11, 2014. This study has an average statistical error of 2.7 percent at the 95 percent confidence level for all US adult motorists.

AAA Statement from CEO Bob Darbelnet
June 5th, 2014 by AAA
AAA Reaction to General Motors Internal Investigation Report
ORLANDO, Fla., (June 5, 2014) – "The complete Valukas report examining General Motors' failures related to its ignition switch recall describes at least 11 instances in which GM was negligent in addressing the issue, and documents consistent patterns of misconduct and poor judgment by GM employees that put consumers unknowingly at risk for more than a decade.
The company had repeated opportunities to take appropriate measures to remedy the problem, but did not act. On at least two occasions, GM refused to accept the findings of outside investigations, including those of a trooper with the Wisconsin state police and the Indiana University Transportation Research Center. In addition, undocumented changes to the defective switch made ultimate identification of the issue all the more difficult.
AAA is encouraged by the announcement that General Motors accepts responsibility for the deadly delayed recall, and GM's promise to aggressively address future safety issues. However, the report also reveals a corporate culture that placed business interests above the safety of consumers. A systemic reluctance to raise and react to critical safety concerns at GM reflects an ingrained culture that could require years to fully eradicate.
While the Valukas report provides valuable insight into the root causes of GM's delayed ignition switch recalls, the report itself will not bring about change. AAA believes that GM's promise of reform should be supplemented with greater federal oversight of the recall system."

AAA Statement from CEO Bob Darbelnet

GM Recall Reinforces Disturbing Level of Risk for Motorists Behind the Wheel
"AAA acknowledges the step taken by General Motors (GM) today to recall 2.42 million more U.S. vehicles with safety failures that could put motorists in harm's way. However, today's action also highlights the disturbing number of potential hazards to drivers behind the wheel that have come to light this year. It is distressing to note that GM has so far recalled close to 15 million vehicles in 2014, which is nearly equal to the total vehicles (15.6 M) all manufacturers sold in the U.S.in 2013 alone. AAA believes last week's $35 million fine assessed to GM for delays in taking action with ignition interlocks that have been attributed to the deaths of 13 motorists does not send a strong enough message. GM and other automakers need to clearly understand that risking consumer lives is unacceptable and the costs for doing so must be appropriately severe. AAA supports the proposal to increase the maximum fine NHTSA can impose from $35 million to $300 million."
AAA Welcomes Senate Transportation Bill
May 13th, 2014 by AAA
WASHINGTON, D.C, (May 13, 2014) – AAA today issued the following statement by its President and CEO Bob Darbelnet regarding the bipartisan transportation bill introduced in the Senate.
"AAA welcomes Senators Boxer, Vitter, Carper and Barrasso's bipartisan transportation bill that increases transparency of how federal dollars are spent. We are encouraged to see leaders in Washington addressing the transportation crisis with detailed proposals rather than general fund bailouts. AAA looks forward to reviewing the details of this bill, and we are pleased it maintains the ban on interstate tolling.
"It is now up to the Senate Finance Committee to consider how Congress will fund this bill. AAA urges Chairman Wyden and Ranking Member Hatch to keep all options on the table by committing to a vote on an increase in the federal gas tax in addition to the other funding mechanisms that will be considered by the committee. AAA, like many, recognizes that a federal gas tax increase is the most viable and effective option available, provided the additional funds are thoughtfully invested in transportation improvements that ease congestion and increase safety."
AAA Responds to Passing of Congressman Jim Oberstar
May 3rd, 2014 by AAA
Statement by Bob Darbelnet, President and CEO of AAA
"This morning the nation lost a true champion of transportation. Former Chairman Oberstar worked tirelessly to restore the "trust" to the Highway Trust Fund and his leadership, expertise and character should serve as an example in Congress for years to come. AAA had the pleasure of awarding Congressman Oberstar with our "Transportation Leaders Award" in 1998 for his efforts to promote a better, safer transportation system, and he epitomized this leadership throughout his 18 terms, whether it was boosting the share of federal dollars used for traffic safety improvements or putting the interests of system users first when it came to innovative transportation finance approaches. Thank you to the people of Northeast Minnesota for sending such a principled and thoughtful leader to Washington, and thank you to Congressman Oberstar for your years of service to this nation. You will be sorely missed."
AAA Comments On Administration's Reform on Auto Recalls
April 30th, 2014 by AAA
"The legislation sent to Capitol Hill by President Obama and Secretary Foxx yesterday was not only an important step in starting a robust discussion on how we fund the nation's roads and bridges, but it also works to address the disturbing trend of recall shortcomings that are front of mind for motorists. This includes recent reports that General Motors was again reluctant to act to recall vehicles with potentially life-threatening defects. These continued reports of some manufacturers weighing the cost of recall against that of inaction, and choosing the latter, must be addressed.
As Secretary Foxx put well yesterday, fines on automakers need to be 'more than a rounding error' to ensure compliance. AAA believes that increasing potential penalties from their current maximum of $35 million to $300 million would be a step in the right direction. Similarly, it is appropriate to strengthen the recall process and provide DOT with both the authority and obligation to require manufacturers to quickly remove automobiles from the market when a dangerous defect is discovered. Likewise, rental car companies should participate in the recall of unsafe vehicles AAA will continue to support swift action to protect the safety of American motorists."
AAA Urges the President and Congress to Address Long-Term Funding Needs Statement by Bob Darbelnet, AAA President and CEO
March 4th, 2014 by AAA
(WASHINGTON, March 4, 2014) "The President's budget provides essential funds over the next four years for the nation's transportation system and AAA is encouraged by Secretary Foxx's pledge that his department will submit a full reauthorization proposal to Congress in the coming months. However, AAA remains concerned with Washington's tendency to make short-term fixes that only patch, not solve, the U.S. transportation funding crisis.
"Once again, policymakers are settling on politically palatable revenue generators instead of setting the stage for the transportation program to return a meaningful reauthorization and funding process. These sorts of "solutions" can only provide funding for limited term bills and assure only that we avert, not solve this crisis.
"AAA continues to believe that the gas tax represents the most viable, responsible and effective mechanism to achieve the goal of sustaining a transportation system that supports a vital U.S. economy, provided the additional funds generated are thoughtfully spent on transportation improvements that ease congestion and increase safety. AAA urges the President and Congressional leaders to make choices that serve U.S. interests in the long-term, instead of short-term fixes."

Let's explore Energy work together…
How I discovered Energetic Healing
Much like so many others who have traveled this path, it wasn't until I discovered Energetic Healing practices that my true recovery really got going! Sure, I had done the Western Philosophy to treat mental health and chronic illness for almost 30 years and yet I was barely surviving. By the time I opened into spirituality I was barely hanging on by a thread and was open to trying ANYTHING!
After I had been in a severe car accident in 2000 that caused deep trauma to my already failing body I became so desperate as to undergo an experimental therapy for which I have much regret… not that the method itself wouldn't have worked, however, I found the Mad Scientist of a doctor. It was such a grotesque and excruciating experience, the plunging of a rather long (huge) needle haphazardly along my spine and into soft tissue throughout my back and neck… and yes… Plunging and hunting! It was so awful that each person who experienced a session could only endure it once! They could not bear to watch me subject myself to the torture I was choosing to undergo in hopes that relief of some sort would finally be felt. Unfortunately, to deal with the trauma of the treatment itself, and the residual pain it created I was taking Vicodin, Morphine and anything else that could ease the pain. For 3 days I would be rolling in and out of consciousness… waking only long enough to get another dose of Morphine… then back off to LaLa Land!
This is just one of the completely insane approaches us desperate souls will go to to try to find relief. In addition, I began my pharmaceutical journey at the ripe age of 17 with the very now popular Prozac! However, when I was diagnosed, as a junior in high school, with severe depression the natural reaction was to immediately place me on this medication. The funny part of this experience was that at the time Prozac was an experimental drug! I was never told this and did not realize it until a couple of years later when I went to get my own health insurance; I was denied coverage for 5 years due to having taken an experimental drug. At this time some safety data had been released about the side effects and cautions of taking Prozac and the insurance companies were not covering anyone who had been anywhere near this questionable drug. And I was experiencing worse depression and other symptoms that I had not dealt with prior.
I was on and off medications for depression, anxiety and others symptoms that were the side effects I was experiencing through out my life on pharmaceuticals.
I experienced my first Energy Healing over 15 years ago with Quantum Connective Healing. I am blessed to have a brother in law, Herb, who is a phenomenal healer and Chiropractor. He knew from a very young age that his calling was to offer healing to those souls who were suffering. Dr. Herb Akers is a Chiropractor, Nutritionist, an Applied Kinesiologist and medical Intuitive. He is founder and developer of the Art of Matrix-ReGeneration, a healing approach that combines traditional healing with the understanding of quantum physics.
Yet, I was still so closed to the concepts of healing without drugs and from within myself that he eventually had to request that we stop the sessions. It was through my lack of realization and understanding of our bodies and souls co-existence that I would not allow my body to mend as it wanted to…
Fast forward several years and by now I was chronically ill and literally struggling to exist on a daily basis. My next long-term experience with energy work was through Acupuncture. It, along with allergy testing and food sensitivity information revealed led to short term relief. I was unable to keep up on the methods and modalities that were helping me because none of this was covered under my insurance. I was being placed on medical leave and my employer was unwilling to work with me. I was losing my job and going on short-term disability. I was eventually diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and fibromyalgia. Short-term turned into Life Long. My dis-ease persisted and eventually I was on the verge of complete adrenal shut down. Thanks once again to Herb, I was pointed in the direction of Adrenal Fatigue and how to naturally heal from it. This is when my recovery really began to transform.
This was 7 years ago and although I was moving in the right direction, uncovering my truths about the part that emotions, nutrition, lifestyle and soulstyle play in our overall wellness it wasn't until almost 2 years ago that I received my first Raindrop Technique session, began using essential oils in my healing and lifestyle arsenal, uncovered incredibly deep truths and self-compassion that I was catapulted into my Divine Wellness and began to understand my deeper reason for making it through the journey that is my Life. Once my heart and soul had opened through spiritual connection I finally became open to experiencing the life changing experiences that Energy Work can provide. This is where my Healing Journey really began and took hold…
Since then I have discovered that I am a highly intuitive Empath whose Archetype is that of Shaman. I have become a certified Reiki Master, Ordained Minister, Mind/Body/Spirit Wellness coach and advocate; I have experienced advanced healing modalities and experienced profound healing and deep understanding of my TRUTH! It was within the experiences of the spiritual connectedness and the energy work that the Lotus began to blossom from the mud and the depth and beauty of my path began unfolding before my (third) eye!
So… What is Energy Healing?
"Energetic Healing is an umbrella term for any therapy that manipulates the energy circuits in our physical or subtle bodies to regain balance and facilitate our body's innate healing mechanisms."
Some of the more well know therapies that fall under the heading "energetic healing" include Reiki, Reflexology, Kinesiology, Thought Field Therapy and Acupuncture. However, energetic healing also encompasses lesser known natural therapies such as: Aura and Chakra balancing; Flower and Vibrational Essences, Crystal Healing, Colour Therapy, Spiritual Healing, and other forms of bodywork. Energetic healing practitioners are usually trained in a number of modalities and will combine these in their own unique way. Many combine intuitive skills with their practical and theoretical skills.
Energetic healing takes a holistic approach that looks beyond the physical to manipulating the subtle energy systems (meridians, auric bodies, chakras, nadis) where the cause of the dis-ease can be located.
There are hundreds of types of energy healing methods, including polarity therapy, Qigong, and Shiatsu.
"Energy healing — tapping into the body's own frequencies as a type of alternative medicine — is being taken seriously by health practitioners trained in both eastern and western modalities of medicine.
And science is backing up its powers: One 2013 study found that 10 minutes of energy healing was as effective as physical therapy in improving the range of motion in people with mobility problems. UCLA even has en electromyography (EMG) lab that studies electrical activity in the body." Does energy healing really work? The Daily News puts four methods to the test.
Why Should I try Energy Work?
Well, really… why shouldn't you?
- It releases energy blockages so you feel energetically lighter and happier.
- It accelerates the body's natural ability to heal itself and increases vitality.
- It helps clear negative emotional and mental thought patterns.
- It clears stress and tension to allow deep relaxation.
- It can help with acute injuries, chronic health issues and relieve pain.
- Cultures have studied the body's energy centers for thousands of years.
- You don't have to be spiritual to benefit from energy healing.
- Energy healing is based on scientific principles.
Is Energetic Healing appropriate for children?
I certainly believe so. I have 4 Empathic children. My oldest is 19 now and was raised in a more traditional america manner, while our youngest is now 5. He is Autistic and has taught us so much about the perceptions of the world we live in.
As children, we were freely creative and intuitive: exploring, playing, making believe. When our conscious mind or ego kicked in around the age of seven to nine many of us began to lose our connection to pure imagination and to our inner voice. Where we live, our culture, family, friends, religion and even the media, all play a very important role in influencing our reality. Most of us end up, as adults, so full of other people's ideas we lose touch with our own inner voice or Higher Self. Hidden on our bodies, in these energetic patterns caused by childhood traumas, are all the ideas we may not have completely understood but still accepted as truth. These patterns of confusion continue to attract energy or feelings which eventually have no place to go but out, expressed as hurt, anger or sickness.
Additionally, these energy modalities are practiced with our gifted children as a method of allowing their truth to be expressed and compassion to be offered through understanding, acceptance and cellular healing.
Reiki, as well as other modalities discussed are not a substitute for medical treatment. However, some of its effects may be beneficial to children and adults with ASD. Because Reiki produces no side effects and poses no risk of complications, it can be used in conjunction with medication and other therapies. Reiki's role is as an adjunct therapy to support traditional care and is used with many symptomatic illnesses and disorders as a complementary therapy.

Continuing a series of provocations that began ahead of annual U.S.-South Korea military exercises, on Tuesday North Korea conducted a live-fire artillery drill near the disputed Northern Limit Line (NLL) that demarcates the maritime border between North and South Korea. Although no shells landed in South Korean waters, the test resembled an earlier exchange in April that prompted South Korea to return fire.
"The North's shells fell in waters about 3km (2 miles) north of the NLL [Northern Limit Line, the disputed border]," noted a spokesman for South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff, quoted by Yonhap News. Furthermore, North Korea notified South Korea of its intention to conduct a live-fire drill this time. "The South Korean military is currently monitoring North Korean artillery units, while maintaining high military readiness," the spokesman added.
The Northern Limit Line is the maritime extension of the land-based demilitarized zone (DMZ) between the two Koreas. In the past, North Korea has demonstrated aggression across the NLL, most notably by sinking the Cheonan in 2010, killing 46 sailors, and shelling Yeonpyeong Island later that year. Yeonpyeong, Baengnyeong, Daecheong, and Socheong islands all remain occupied by South Korean residents who are regularly advised to seek shelter during provocative exercises by North Korea.Enjoying this article?

While the North abstained from staging a show of force during U.S. President Barack Obama's Asia tour, which included a stop in Seoul, it has warned that it will carry out a "new form" of nuclear test imminently. Experts remain divided as to what this entails. It could involve the detonation of multiple devices; recent satellite imagery shows increased activity near North Korea Punggye-ri nuclear test site. Punggye-ri was the site of the 2006, 2009 and 2013 tests.
Meanwhile, on Monday, North Korea and Russia signed an economic cooperation agreement. "An agreement on trade and economic cooperation was signed between the DPRK ministry of Foreign Trade and the Amur Regional Government of the Russian Federation," said the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), North Korea's state-run news agency. Apart from the announcement regarding the pact, KCNA provided no additional details on the content or scope of the pact. The bilateral agreement comes as Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Trutnev visited Pyongyang.
According to Yonhap News, Trutnev met with Ro Tu-chol, vice-premier of the DPRK cabinet. "At the talks both sides exchanged views on the issue of boosting the economic and cooperative relations between the two countries and other issues of mutual concern," said the KCNA report.

Witness Protection Bill to protect witnesses against threats and intimidation
Witnesses, experts and persons who assist in criminal investigations together with their family members will get a protection from the State when the Witness Protection Bill, 2017 is passed into law. A Bill to that effect is currently before Parliament.
There is currently no law in Ghana that guarantees the safety and protection of a witness, who is such an important factor in the fight against crime and graft in the society. Though there is a Whistleblower Act, 2006 (Act 720), it does not address matters relating to witness protection in the broader context.
While a witness protection law provides for the protection of witnesses and other persons who cooperate with the law enforcement agencies in the investigation and prosecution of criminal offences, the Whistleblower law, among other things deals with mechanisms by which people may expose corrupt practices in the public services.
The testimony of witnesses in criminal investigations is often critical to the work of intelligence agencies, the police and other agencies tasked with the maintenance of law and order, and safeguarding the security and safety of the nation. The evidence of witnesses is commonly required to prevent or prosecute crimes such as human trafficking, illicit arms dealing and money laundering.
The purpose of the Bill is therefore to establish a Witness Protection Agency to administer a witness protection programme. The implementation of the programme by the Agency would protect witnesses, experts and their relatives against potential retaliation or intimidation as a result of their cooperation with law enforcement agencies.
At the second reading of the Bill on the Floor of Parliament last week, the Chairman of the Committee on Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, Ben Abdalla Banda, noted that the passage of the Bill would fulfil one of the country's key obligations under the United Nations Convention Against Corruption, of which Ghana is a party.
Per Article 32 of the UNCAC, Ghana is required to take appropriate measures to afford full protection to witnesses, experts and victims who may face possible threat of intimidation or physical harm.
His Committee was satisfied that arrangements have been made in the Bill to ensure that the proposed Agency is well funded to discharge its responsibilities. According to the Committee, "Apart from the annual budgetary allocation which will be approved for the general activities of the proposed institution, the Bill also seeks to establish Victims Compensation Fund to rake-in additional funds to support victims, witnesses and related persons under the programme."
Sources of the fund are expected to come from moneys approved by Parliament, subject to any other enactment, proceeds from the sale of property forfeited to the Republic in connection with crime, grants, gifts and donations among others.
Opinions were divided at the Committee level in the issue regarding the establishment of the proposed witness protection agency to administer witness protection programme in the country.
According to the Committee report, some members of the Committee held the view that a new department be created under the Office of the Attorney General to administer the programme instead of creating a new body. With the explanation that the creation of a new institution would impose a burden on the public purse.
Others held a contrary view that the Agency as envisaged in the Bill must be maintained. They explained that the Office of the Attorney General is already burdened and should not further be constrained.
Parliament is expected to begin the consideration of the Bill which has been arranged into sixty provisions this week to ensure that adequate protection is given to witnesses and their close relatives in the fight against crime and graft in the country.

Consuming a wholesome diet is as important for our pets as it is for us when it comes to optimal health. Unfortunately, commercially produced pet foods are often as processed as human foods, and sometimes they are even worse. Processed pet food may not always have optimal amounts of fibre and other nutrients. If your pet isn't getting enough raw, concentrated all-natural nutrition, Udo's Choice® Pet Essentials® for Cats offers the crucial nutrients to supplement your cat's normal diet.
UDO'S CHOICE® PET ESSENTIALS® FOR CATS consists of whole food concentrates, herbs and phytonutrient-rich vegetables to give your pet a glossy coat and healthy skin, and to enhance its general appearance.
Each 2.5 g (1 tsp) serving provides a tasty blend of:
FATS AND FIBRE: 93.5% (2,337 mg) from: defatted brown flax seed, defatted sunflower seed, defatted sesame seed, rice bran, oat bran, whole golden flax seed.
FOOD CONCENTRATES: 4.3% (108 mg) carrot, Soyforce™ powdered sprouted soybeans, tomato, kale, beet, broccoli, kelp, Udo's Choice® Ultimate Digestive Enzyme (amylase, lipase, protease, cellulase, glucoamylase, invertase, malt diastase, lactase, pectinase [with phytase] and bromelain, in a base of beet root powder), artichoke.
PHYTONUTRIENTS: 1.8% (45 mg) from: ginger, hawthorn berry, milk thistle, burdock root, red clover, parsley, bee pollen, chrysanthemum, yucca, lemon grass, dandelion root and leaf, rosemary, thyme, sage, dulse.
GREENS: 0.4% (10 mg) PINES™ barley, alfalfa, oat and rye grass powders, chlorella.
Add 2.5 g (1 tsp) per day to your pet's regular food. Give free access to water.
FOR KITTENS & SMALL CATS (up to 2.25 kg/5 lbs): Add 1.75 g (½ tsp). For optimum results: Double the amount for 45 days and add ¼ tsp of Udo's Choice® Udo's Oil™ 3•6•9 Blend.
For optimal freshness refrigerate after opening and use within 90 days.
Giving this to my 3 cats for over a year. Great plant based supplement addition for their raw food diet. Highly recommend.
Giving this to my cats for over a year, great addition to their raw diet. Taste doesn't bother them and added omegas are great!
It is a bit shocking to me that three of the ingredients in Udo's Choice Pet Essentials for Cats are on the SPCA list of plants that are poisonous to cats: Chrysanthemum, Yucca, and Lemongrass. Someone at Flora didn't do their homework when they made up a formulation for cats. Before I give my cats any product, I research the safety of the ingredients. I hope you will too.

Hers is not the overblown brio of a dizzy publicist, but the considered judgement of one of the leading performers on the world stage of late 20th century opera - even if many today are not aware of it.
The Pinetown-born diva, who performed with noted distinction at La Scala, the Met, Bayreuth and Covent Garden, among many other opera houses, has the distinction of having been the only South African soprano to have sung leading roles with two of the world's greatest tenors, Plácido Domingo and José Carreras.
But her consideration of South Africa's operatic contribution is also informed by her own engagement with it, at close quarters.
One day in the late 1980s, having retired from the world stage, Fine had gone to listen to a choir in Langa - she had by then launched her own studio to develop home-grown singing talent - when a baritone voice from the back row resonated with her, and she singled out the performer.
From her studio, Fikile Mvinjelwa went on to study at UCT, then compete internationally and eventually find a musical home at New York's prestigious Metropolitan Opera.
If Mvinjelwa turned out to be the first black South African to make it big abroad, he is not the only young South African singer to benefit from Fine's continuing involvement in the world of opera and music.
Among other singers Fine has been instrumental in helping are George Stevens, now Head of Singing at UCT's College of Music, and James Bhemgee, the City Council employee who went on to win the SA's Got Talent competition.
She has also founded three singing groups, The Brilliant Baritones, The Terrific Tenors and The Fine Singers.
Fittingly, then, for someone who half suspected she had been forgotten, Wendy Fine was the deeply grateful recipient last week of the inaugural Western Cape government's Lifetime Achievement Award for her contribution to arts and the opera genre.
The citation, which acknowledges that "this iconic opera singer" was "one of the first South African sopranos to have become an international opera star", sums up a long and varied singing life by noting not only her "exceptional vocal versatility, excellent range and commanding stage presence" which enabled her to "perform a wide repertoire and grace opera houses around the world", but her commitment to "nurturing singers and finding talent in our communities and taking them to the world". Wendy Fine, it concludes, "is truly a remarkable South African and activist for the arts and the opera genre".
Cape Town's choral maestro Barry Smith said in a tribute to Fine: "If she were a British citizen she would have long ago been 'Dame Wendy Fine'."
He went on to recount how, "after a Munich performance of Büchner's Wozzeck, conducted by Carlos Kleiber - considered to be among the greatest conductors of the 20th century and one of her greatest supporters - a critic wrote: 'Wendy Fine made a triumphant first appearance here, it will prove to have been the first of many. Overnight she became a new star in Munich. Acting with wild impetuosity, she exhibited a tremendous voice of immense dramatic intensity, characterised by the most moving of pianissimos to the most ringing of forceful utterances produced with a warm opulence of tone'."
And it all began with scrap metal, Fine laughed in an interview this week, though warning quite sternly this was nothing to scoff at.
There was a link - of affection, of course, but also of hard graft, resourcefulness and stamina - between the grubby world of the scrap metal dealership her Russian grandfather, Jacob Max Fine, established after his arrival in Natal in 1903 and his granddaughter's stellar reputation in the heady cosmos of world opera half a century later.
The business is still in the family, just as Fine herself remains actively engaged in the musical career it sponsored at its launch. Early musical encouragement from her mother and father, Eva and Leslie, led to her singing operatic roles in Durban in her late teens. Fine went on to the Music Academy of Vienna, and a glittering, if demanding, career of international performance opened before her.
At 28, her Munich Staatsoper debut under Kleiber in the role of Marie in Wozzeck made her an overnight sensation, and Fine soon became the most sought-after performer of this role, touring with Kleiber worldwide. This led to her being the first South African to be invited by the esteemed Claudio Abbado to sing at La Scala Opera House in Milan in the Italian premiere of Wozzeck and in Stravinsky's Rake's Progress. She became the first South African singer to be put under contract at La Scala in two separate roles for two years running and to be invited back again two years later to perform the same roles.
She later went on to a 10-year stint at the Royal Opera House in London. In 1977 she was invited to sing the lead role in Janácek's opera Jenufa for Queen Elizabeth II at her Silver Jubilee. She was also the first South African to be invited to perform "behind the Iron Curtain", as it was called at the time, at the Prague Spring Festival, singing two famous Slavic roles, in the original Czech.
Her debut in Bayreuth, at 29, was in Richard Wagner's Die Walküre and Götterdämmerung produced by Wolfgang Wagner. She made her US debut under the baton of Sir Georg Solti. Among other renowed conductors she performed with over the years are Pierre Boulez, Istvan Kertesz, Marek Janowski, Sir Simon Rattle, Sir Colin Davis, Lamberto Gardelli and Carlo Maria Giulini.
At 79, Fine is evidently as irrepressible as ever she was on stage - "Me, shy? How do you spell that?" - though her energy since her retirement from professional singing in 1988 has been channelled into developing the talents and dreams of others. Knowing when to stop singing, she observed, was a skill of sorts, too - though some singers, men especially, didn't know when to stop.
"Some carry on and sound like old lawnmowers and you think, 'Jirre!'"
In fact, Fine admits that when sometimes she gives a brief demonstration of a passage to a student, they often respond, "but you should still be singing!"
But the "big thing" in her life now is an opera competition she intends launching in conjunction with Artscape in the new year.
"It will be just for sopranos," she said emphatically. "I want it to be different. And I can't wait for it!"
It would be a showcase of the font of South Africa talent she really does believe is momentous.
"The greatest opera singers today are from South Africa. Worldwide, they are winning all the competitions there is no stopping them."

Summer Organization
If you're anything like me, your summer days can run together and be less than productive. I have grand plans of accomplishing ALL THE THINGS when school gets out. Yet, I find myself accomplishing very few of them. Last summer, I decided to really think and plan for a great summer. Was it perfect? Of course not. But this plan worked for me and my family and helped us get more out of our summer! Along the way, I came up with 5 Summer Organization Tips for Busy Families. Here are my tips.
Summer Organization Tips for Busy Families
Tip 1: MAKE A PLAN, and put it in writing.
Do you have to stick to that plan 100%? NO. In fact, I encourage you NOT TO stick to it 100%. It isn't truly summer if you don't leave room for some spontaneous activities. However, if you at least make a plan, you're sure to accomplish several things you need to accomplish.
Tip 2: Give your children some responsibility.
Since they aren't busy with homework, children have some extra time to help out. Introduce them to some new chores they haven't learned yet. Make a checklist of jobs they need to accomplish each day. Offer rewards like screen time only if they demonstrate responsibility.
Tip 3: Stick to a Schedule.
I personally seem to always fall for the stay up half the night, sleep half the day mentality of summer break. But, sticking with a regular schedule of waking up at a decent time and going to bed at a regular time can actually increase your productivity exponentially in the summer.
Tip 4: Practice self-care.
You won't be motivated to accomplish your goals over the summer unless you pour into yourself a bit. Take time out for a pedicure or to read a new book. Spend some time lying out in the sun, and enjoy a guilt-free nap. Get a babysitter if you need a few hours to focus. And DON'T FEEL GUILTY!
Tip 5: Make a (reasonable) Summer Bucket List.
Make a list of things you want to see, do, or accomplish over the summer. Be sure it's a reasonable list. If time or money won't allow it, it's probably best not to include it! Have your kids do the same thing. Then, get together as a family and work on a Family Bucket List. Schedule those activities over the course of the summer, and see how many you can accomplish together.
A Summer Organization Binder for Busy Families
It's easier said than done to schedule these things in for the summer. When I couldn't find exactly what I wanted to use to organize my family, I decided to CREATE something instead. This Summer Binder was created with lots of love and creativity, and I hope it will inspire your family to make this the best summer ever as well! Let me give you a peek at what all is inside!

And thanks for those corrections for Love's Enough. You're quite right about the bridge so I've made the changes. Also, I've added a version in C which might be more easily playable on guitar.KaNijhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6800848187447558454.post-83724439348007550252012-07-16T20:28:15.301-07:002012-07-16T20:28:15.301-07:00I'm not a professional either, by a long shot....I'm not a professional either, by a long shot. (In fact I don't read music or even tab!) But FWIW, the bridge in Love's Enough sounds better to me if I start with a Bm and then try to do a downward progression of bass string notes while holding the rest of the Bm chord. And for the 3rd line in the bridge ("Love's enough to know..."), it sounds good to me if I go to an A. But otherwise, all of your chords sound correct to my ears. And it is a joy to be able to play "Love's Enough" on guitar after loving the song so much for all of these years.

One more note: the lyric sheet that came with our vinyl copy of American Gothic indicates that the 2nd line in the last verse is "... of a one and lonely rhyme". (Rather than a "wan" and lonely rhyme.) However "wan" also makes sense there, and it is entirely possible that "one" may have been an error by Elektra Records.

Again, thank you for this respectful and comprehensive firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6800848187447558454.post-30037269801532206802012-07-14T03:12:39.087-07:002012-07-14T03:12:39.087-07:00You're very much welcome, and thanks for the k...You're very much welcome, and thanks for the kind reply. I was just rewriting the above piece when I found it. Only yesterday I played my record of American Gothic again (much better than the CD), and it remains such an awe-inspiring collection of songs.

Let me know if you spot any mistakes in the chords. I've tried my best, but I'm not a professional musician.KaNijhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6800848187447558454.post-61183946376542835122012-07-13T15:44:11.406-07:002012-07-13T15:44:11.406-07:00Thanks for creating this site.

My parents saw David Ackles perform on a visit to California about the time American Gothic came out (he was opening for John Hartford) and they either came home with the album or bought it upon their return. American Gothic became a beloved part of our musical heritage.

I've been playing Another Friday Night in G on guitar for quite a while but I knew some of my chords weren't exactly right. I stumbled onto your site by Googling "David Ackles Chords", not expecting to find anything. I'm looking forward to trying to play the chords you've listed here. What an amazing talent, it is a shame that more people aren't aware of him. Thanks again for the firstname.lastname@example.com

You may think you don't need a design for your project, but most of the time you are wrong…that may seem like a bold statement but we can explain ourselves!
Here are the 3 TOP REASONS to have your space professionally designed:
1) Selection Process- At first you may think your project should be pretty simple to do. This is because there are so many questions you do not think of beforehand which can all be solved with a professionally made design specifically made for your project!
Let's take a powder room for example. You may know what tile you want, but is it water resistant? What type of grout do you need? Do you want heated flooring? Will you install any cabinets? How about the sink fixtures? How about paint color and crown molding? And the list continues.
If you have the space designed licensed architects, interior designers and cabinet designers will present you with all these options to make it an exciting experience instead of a stressful one!
2) Your Budget – Keeping you within your budget is one of our main priorities while designing your project! This is why we give you a base price and then give you a list of extra features which you can add. We break the costs down with a menu-based pricing, that way you know exactly how much everything costs which will help you decide what you really want in your project and you won't be surprised by any hidden fees!
3) Speed- Having a professional design for your remodeling project will speed up the project significantly! Everyone involved knows exactly what has been selected for every aspect of the project, so supplies can be ordered on time to get you into your dream space ASAP!
Whatever size your project is, a design will bring the space to life and maximize your investment because you can be positive it will be done correctly! Don't we all want that assurance for our dream space!
----KM Builders is San Antonio's premier design-build remodeler specializing in kitchens, bathrooms, room additions and whole-house remodeling. We boast the largest in-house staff in San Antonio offering architectural design, interior design, and cabinet design for all your home remodeling needs!

UK Men's Basketball
UK: Patterson's going to NBA; Mom says not so fast
After Kentucky announced on Wednesday that Patrick Patterson was among five UK players who will enter their names in this year's NBA Draft, Patterson's mother said that her son had not made that decision.
Tywanna Patterson told The Courier-Journal that her son planned to make a decision before the April 25 deadline for entering the draft. Players have until May 8 to withdraw from the list if they haven't signed with agents. "If Patrick leaves, he'll have his day and have a press conference just like he did when he came back (after declaring for the draft last year)," she told the Louisville newspaper.
UK spokesman DeWayne Peevy said Thursday that nothing had changed. UK expected Patterson and the other four players to enter the draft.
NCAA rules permit players to enter the NBA draft only once and retain the option of returning to college. Since Patterson entered his name in last year's draft, he will have no option to return should he again enter his name this year, Peevy said.
So, for Patterson, entering the draft will be the equivalent of hiring an agent, Peevy said. There is no return.
Asked if he still expected Patterson to enter the draft, Peevy said yes.
The UK release on Wednesday quoted the players, including Patterson, saying they would enter the draft this year.

Day V
Our longest drive to date, taking us the coastal route through Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Mobile, and ending in New Orleans. This was our "deep south" day, and as expected the highways were littered with billboards of christian themes, sayings, alligator BBQ's, and live tigers. The drive was about 11 hours or so, with stops for gas, food and coffee.
Although this wasn't exactly where my roots stem from the people around were all very nice, nicer than I expected, giving me praise and good wishes for my trip as they saw my car's license plates in more than half the gas stations on the way. One old man specifically in a gas stop on the side of the Highway in rural Florida told me his son just left to go UP to Maine, and that he suggested, "Just take the i10 west till you hit LA- it's beautiful country." It definitely brightened my day.
It's pretty incredible to have this wall broken down which I've had built up my whole life thinking that people were inherently negative, mean-spirited, or wish ill upon you. Of course, I'm not naive and I know there is dangerous and bad people out there, but for the large, LARGE majority everyone is just a human that wants to just enjoy their day peacefully and positively as they can.
The heat got more intense as we journeyed down and across the Gulf Coast. Another part I noted on the trip was how much more pervasive the oil companies and industry is down here, where there are literally skylines of oil rigs for as far as the eye can see. It becomes FAR more prevalent as you pass through Tallahassee.
Due to the length of the drive we didn't arrive to our hotel- Hotel Modern, until 5 pm. Once there we received some complimentary drinks, and after the very hipster bartender told us he was out of our first 8 options, I ended up on an apple brandy and Hannah got some lemon raspberry concoction.
After the bartender showed off his seriously impressive skills- seriously, NOT sarcasm- throwing ingredients in the air, slicing, chopping, mixing, shaking, and some ninja-precision chop-stick powers, we headed to The French Quarter.
We hopped on the Trolley and made our way to Bourban Street. The french influence is very obvious here, with cobbled dark side alleys, street musicians, gold-lettered restaurants, and an ever expansive sprawl of drunken people- seriously EVERYONE- tourists, locals, and the homeless, spiraling into one beautiful display of degeneration.
We found some little old bar (the name escapes me), got a few screwdrivers, some garlic wings and gumbo- It was fucking good, no lie.
Now that we started getting wavy, we headed to the liquor store enjoying the sights, smells (HA! sarcasm), and just general debauchery on the way. The city is such a breath of Europe- or at least what I can imagine it is. The cobbled streets, lantern-lit alleys, "pirate-ous" people, and raw energy of a city swimming in jazz, cajun food and liquor. It's a beautiful dark dream- something similar to what Edgar Allan Poe might describe. I did very much enjoy it though, it sparked a good feeling of a mixture of the laissez faire attitude promoted there and the sense of freedom that the west seems to bleed- something I also noticed as I continued on westward (With California being the culmination of that ideology).
We loaded up and headed back to our hotel, giggling and enjoying the ridiculousness of us "kids" out here "adulting" so hard. We got back to the room, kept getting twisted until RING RING- alarm clock. It was tomorrow. Time to drive to San Antonio.

I love investigating interesting analogs to see whether there is some deeper causality. This is one worth pondering for a little while.
James Montier from GMO in an interview:
So what's your most impoartant advice to investors now?
Be patient. Don't take it from me, take it from Winnie the Pooh: Never underestimate the value of doing nothing. Never forget: You can't know the future. Hold a lot of dry powder now. 50% of our portfolio today is in cash or some form of short term bond holdings. If we do get a dislocation in equity markets, we will have the ability and deploy that dry powder. That's the time to buy.
Lastly, according to David Kotok you should sell oil related ETFs XLE and XOP. Would have been great advice in June this year. Not sure that useful now but who knows Crude could continue to make new multiyear lows.
