Main street is dying, falling victim to the eBays and Amazons of the world. Physical stores are suffering and need a better way to compete with online retailers and address a decrease in foot traffic, which has resulted from shoppers being lured away by the speed and convenience of the web. In this session, Euclid Elements CEO, Will Smith will describe the market opportunities for brick and mortar stores—in particular the need for data analytics to understand how customers interact with retailers in the physical world. Included in the discussion will be an overview of where analytics is heading and the longer-term benefits to the consumer.
Will Smith is CEO and cofounder of Euclid Elements. The grandson of the founder of the International Council of Shopping Centers, Will was born into a retail family and spent his teenage years wandering through shopping malls thinking about dollars per square and tenant mix optimization.
After graduating from Stanford in 2007 with a degree in Economics and International Relations, Will worked as an analyst at Citigroup and Thomas Weisel Partners. He then decided to merge his love of data and technology with his family history in retail. Euclid was the result, and Will's unique background has proven invaluable in his new position.

Two years before Jerry Sandusky would tarnish its name with one of the most horrific serial rapist cases in modern history, Penn State didn't seem all that different from any other major college football town. Reasonably priced restaurants smattered the town right below the campus, as did a number of record stores, caverns of used books, coffee roasters, and one absolutely bitchin' arcade. This is the place where I first discovered college radio, weed, and buffalo wings. It's also where I got my first whiff of Twin Peaks and David Lynch.
In 1992, while my parents went to see Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, I was busy guffawing through Honeymoon in Vegas – they were, and remain, big proponents of seeing movies alone. My movie got out a bit earlier and being naturally rambunctious, I made my way into the back of their theater to watch Leland Palmer (Ray Wise) butcher his own daughter, Laura (Sheryl Lee), in an abandoned train car in the wilds of Washington State. Genetics are inarguably the reason I'm bald but if that weren't the case, that sequence would have done the trick right there.
It's not just the fact that Leland, inhabited by the nefarious spirit known only as Bob (Frank Silva), took a knife to his only daughter after raping her for what might have been some six years. It's the manner in which Lynch depicted the scenes in visceral flashes of terror, lit sparingly and filled with a caterwaul of screams and bellowed pleas. Scored by Angelo Badalamanti and shot by Ronald Victor Garcia, the sequence doesn't so much feel as if it's unfolding but rather being let out of its cage, shrieking the horrors of ordinary America at the top of its lungs for nobody to hear.
Booed at Cannes and largely dismissed at the box office, where it placed well behind forgotten relics like The Mambo Kings and Dr. Giggles, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me's hallucinatory, skittering style would lay the groundwork for Twin Peaks: The Return, both in form and narrative. In Lynch's Showtime series, which just concluded and will remain the best series of this year by a mile, much of what Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) must go through to reunite with Laura (or something like her) can be traced back to what happens in Fire Walk With Me. The penultimate episode of the series even borrows a large portion of the movie's final 30 minutes in enacting the final attempt made by Agent Cooper to rescue the young girl whose death first brought him to Twin Peaks.
Cooper was only seen sparsely in Fire Walk With Me, but his scenes also set up his strange, unyielding relationship to Laura Palmer and his connection to the inter-dimensional underbelly known as The Black Lodge and its various corridors. At first, he speaks with Agent Gordon Cole, played by Lynch in both the film and the series, about a dream he had that seemingly made him question his own existence. In another sequence that The Return borrowed, he met a confused and angry Agent Philip Jeffries (David Bowie), who does not trust Cooper and refuses to speak about the elusive "Judy" in front of him. A sudden flash to the Black Lodge, where the Man from the Other Place/The Arm (Michael J. Anderson) demands his "garmonbonzia" while Bob cackles away and an early incarnation of one of the now-iconic Woodsmen (Jürgen Prochnow) slams on a table, and Jeffries seems to evaporate into thin air. Later on, Cooper seems to prophesize the murder of Laura Palmer to Albert (the late Miguel Ferrer) while sitting around the FBI Philadelphia office.
The Jeffries scenes seemed to be of particular importance to the narrative of The Return, alluding to the dual nature that Cooper would come to embody in forms ranging from the evil Mr. C to Dougie Jones to the unknown Richard. (Jeffries is also recreated as a talking, smoking oversized kettle of sorts, able to direct visitors to the Black Lodge with series of numbers.) Was Cooper's multiplicity apparent to Jeffries that far back? The purposefully disorienting way that Lynch cuts the entire sequence between the FBI offices and The Black Lodge suggests not only ties to the otherworldly but also how its powers and uncharitable rhythms can infect you and tear you apart from the inside out.
Perhaps the most crucial element to carry over between the movie and the series is the Owl Cave ring, the green ring with intersecting peaks in the middle. When agents Chester Desmond and Sam Stanley (Chris Isaak and Kiefer Sutherland) turned up in Portland, Oregon to investigate the bludgeoning murder of Teresa Banks (Pamela Gidley), they noticed the absence of a ring on her hand, and it wouldn't be found until Desmond discovered it placed nicely on a pile of dirt in the Fat Trout Trailer Park, run by Carl (Harry Dean Stanton). While he searches for that ring and clues to Banks' murder, we first hear about the Chalfonts – or the Tremonds – whose names would come up in the final moments of The Return as former and current owners of 708 Northwestern St.
The ring acts as a sort of connective point between this world and the inter-dimensional realms of the Red Room, the Black Lodge, and the White Lodge, but its power is primarily evil. When Stanley and Desmond speak with the waitress at Hap's Diner, she talks about how a ring made Banks' arm go numb, a fact that comes up often in the original series and The Return and nods towards Philip Gerard's (Al Strobel) decision to cut off his own arm to escape his sadistic, maniac tendencies. It's both a symbol and an active agent, like much of what Lynch shows in the movie and in the TV series, for instance Cole's "mother's sister's daughter" with the blue rose. These symbols can also be living things that act of their own accord – not unlike the Buddhist concept of tulpas.
For all the similar elements that run through Fire Walk With Me and The Return, the moods they create are disparate. Fire Walk With Me has the feeling of suddenly discovering and being overwhelmed by evil and madness thanks to the fact that it has 137 minutes to get its point across, while The Return unfolds over a 14-hours-plus runtime. The difference in style and pace feels decisive, however, reflecting the difference in Lynch's age and artistry. Fire Walk With Me is a timed swim in a lit pool of gasoline, a constantly roiling and self-questioning expression of the dream we live in, per Agent Jeffries. The tone is that of unresolved, bellowing anger, frustration, and anxiety. The Return, in comparison, is funnier, more deceptively laconic, and epic in scope, a sublime and haunted odyssey through dimensions and different personages in the hopes of fixing a cosmic injustice.
The repetition of symbols, words, characters, locations, music, and actions is meant to send people (like me) scrambling to connect the innumerable dots, but the purpose of this mélange is bigger than that. Cooper's need to not just resolve but undo Laura's death keeps him running in circles, stuck in the same place even as he travels through unspeakable worlds, repeating the same actions even as his friends and colleagues age and old symbols reappear in new places. Even as The Return leaves us at the same doorstep where this all happened, Cooper tragically still can't seem to grasp change, if only because the world seems to constantly remind him of his lack of true knowledge and his devastating powerlessness against the ravages and indignities of time.

Linda Pickering's new works review creative possibilities through the exploration of abstraction; within a finite number of basic elements there are an infinite number of possible outcomes.
Pickering initiates the work through computer design, allowing her to make quick changes and create intuitively. This contrasts with the studied evaluation required when a work is finally committed to her painting practice.
"I am interested in the creative process. Where conscious thought takes a back seat and allows intuition to take over. Ideas develop and then finally conscious effort is required to make the finished work."
Luminous optical works, reminiscent of sixties psychedelic design are the outcome. Using retro shaped chairs as a vehicle, Pickering explores colour and pattern possibilities.
Linda Pickering completed a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts at RMIT University and this will be her fourth solo exhibition in Melbourne.

The 5 Healthiest Beans and How to Eat Them
- Sep 22, 2016
Beans, beans, good for your heart—and just about every other part of your body too! Not only are beans low in fat with no cholesterol; they are also packed with fiber, high in protein and loaded with antioxidants.
Beans have long been a go-to source of protein for vegetarians, but recent studies showing that consumption of these nutrient-rich legumes can help ward off a number of health conditions are making them a staple for meat lovers as well.
Turn Down the Gas
For some people, knowing beans are a healthy choice is not enough of a reason to put up with the intestinal gas that eating them can produce. Thankfully, there are a few things you can do to mitigate this problem. Start by soaking sorted, dried beans for 12 to 15 hours before cooking. Pour off the water used for soaking and rinse several times. Adding herbs such as cumin, turmeric, coriander, fennel or garlic to cooking beans also seems to diminish the phytic acid that causes flatulence.
If you opt for the convenience of cooked, rinse canned beans before serving to reduce sodium levels or look for low- or no-sodium options.
5 Best Beans
The five beans listed below are some of the most popular, and all fall in the USDA's top forty most antioxidant-rich foods.
Pinto beans have a beige background with red-mauve splashes of color when dry, and turn a rich brown color when cooked. Like all beans, they are full of soluble fiber, which helps lower cholesterol and keep blood-sugar levels steady. Pinto beans are also a great source of folate, protein and vitamin B1, as well as the minerals iron, magnesium, manganese and potassium.
Serving suggestions: Try pinto beans in chili in place of kidney beans, add to veggie soups, or purée cooked pintos with fresh herbs to make a spread for crackers or crudités.
Red kidney beans hold their kidney shape during cooking and absorb flavors well, which makes them perfect for simmered dishes. They are a good source of the minerals manganese, potassium, copper and phosphorus, and deliver a hefty dose of calcium. Kidney beans should always be cooked thoroughly, as the raw bean contains phytohaemagglutnin, a potentially toxic compound that is eliminated via proper cooking.
Serving suggestions: Kidney beans are great in salads, soups and chili. They are also an excellent main ingredient in veggie burgers.
Black beans, like other bean varieties, are full of fiber, minerals and phytochemicals, but they may also be especially good at supporting the digestive tract. A 2002 animal study published in Nutrition and Cancer revealed that black beans lowered the risk of colon cancer tumors, by allowing good bacteria in the colon to efficiently produce butyric acid—a process that helps them thrive.
Serving suggestions: Black beans can be used to make hearty soups and rich dips, and are a great addition to taco fillings. You can even find chocolate cake and brownie recipes that include black beans.
Navy beans are small, creamy-white beans that were a staple food for the US navy in the early twentieth century, hence their name. Navy beans are a great source of vegetarian protein, with one cup supplying 15 grams of protein—with all of the essential amino acids except taurine.
Serving suggestions: Navy beans are perfect to make a delicious variation on traditional chili. They hold up well in soups, and can even be used to make gluten-free cakes and muffins.
Black-eyed peas are actually not a pea at all but a white bean with a black dot. They boast hefty amounts of antioxidants, potassium and folate, and folks in the Southern US believe eating them at the turn of the New Year helps to bring good luck. These are fast cookers, from 30 to 60 minutes.
Serving suggestions: Black-eyed peas can be tossed with tomatoes, peppers, herbs and a bit of oil and vinegar to make a cold salad. The most traditional use for black-eyed peas is in the Southern dish hoppin' John, where they are tossed with rice and Cajun seasonings.

Few people will go to their grave with thousands of saved lives credited to their name.
Steve Robinson just did.
The gentle big man, and former Army Ranger died June 12 of unspecified causes. He was just 51.
What kind of man was he?
He was the ultimate battle buddy, especially to young emotionally-wounded service members during their darkest moments … mostly guys who decided they'd had enough, gripping a loaded gun or bottle of pills in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, listening to Steve's soothing sermons about survival and healing.
Steve was big, at least 275 lbs, probably more. He kept his hair cut at military standards, even after retirement. He had eyes that were as serious as they were kind. He always had time to help, and help he did, anytime, day or night. When it came to helping "his people," Steve knew no clock.
He became well-known as the "go to guy" when a young soldier, sailor, airman or Marine was suffering severe psychiatric breakdown — usually just after getting home from multiple combat tours in either Iraq or Afghanistan — totally out of gas and getting a professional beat down from military commanders instead of badly needed help.
Steve knew military regs, inside and out.
He knew exactly how commanders operated — the devious tactics they used on green 19- and 20-year-olds just out of high school — and how they routinely flushed their mentally and physically wounded out of the military for new healthy young bodies, ready to deploy. Disposable humans.
Steve helped thousands of service members navigate the thick and complicated military medical and legal manuals, to save them from going to the brig during seasons when their PTSD was running wild. So many of them had military commands breathing down their necks, trying to criminalize their medical problems by punishing any and every minor infraction of military protocol to prove a "pattern of misconduct," or by pressuring them into accepting a bogus "personality disorder" discharge.
Taking a PD discharge would get you out of the Army fast and easy, but it meant you would have a helluva time getting VA care for PTSD afterward. In excess of 100,000 desperate service members have accepted the PD discharge since 9/11, instead of waiting out the long adversarial process of navigating "the system" to get a proper diagnosis for PTSD before discharge. Steve thought this was a huge injustice for the young men and women accepting PD discharges.
You see, Steve knew exactly what PTSD was from a young age. His dad, served as a hard-ass combat Marine in Vietnam. He brought a severe case home from the war. He showed his kids what PTSD was all about.
But Steve, after retiring from 20 years with the Rangers was determined "not to be that way" with his own family. He became something that could best be described as a combination of Zen monk, platoon sergeant, big brother and military lawyer.
He taught countless troubled young men and women in uniform how to safely get off dangerous psychotropic drug cocktails that their military docs prescribed by the bag full, and instead help manage their raging minds and panic attacks by deeper breathing, calm music, sitting next to a pond, or burning some incense … hippie stuff. Steve definitely had some hippie in him.
Steve also could hold his own in the halls and cocktail lounges of Washington D.C., unafraid to pound on doors or engage congressional staffers after hours over drinks. Often, he was an expert witness during House or Senate committee hearings, where he would call "BS" on the underhanded tactics used by DoD and VA against "his people" suffering PTSD and countless other injuries, including TBI, Gulf War Illness, and injuries from the neurotoxic Malaria drug Lariam.
He had the lingo and always brought the hard statistical evidence. When Steve spoke to congress, he really had his shit together. His exhaustive work in the capital and across America helped an entire generation of veterans from being thrown under the bus, during a time when it was SOP to do so at military commands worldwide. When Steve spoke, the big guys in congress usually listened, unlike at the Pentagon.
When on occasion nobody would listen, Steve wouldn't hesitate to pick up the phone and share his concerns and frustrations with a hungry journalist. That happened in 2006 when nobody would listen to Steve about the laundry list of serious problems facing severely wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
With all the evidence of Walter Reed's poor living conditions, over-medicating, suicides, and daily humiliation of troops in recovery there, Steve went to the Washington Post and gave them the scoop. The reports quickly awakened congress and the DoD brass. The resulting attention on Walter Reed served notice to military leaders that they could not continue to get away with handling wounded troops like recycling. The Post's reporting on the Walter Reed scandal earned the newspaper a Pulitzer Prize.
Steve departs at a critical time, when the VA has been caught in a historic criminal conspiracy to deny care and benefits to millions of sick and wounded. Now it is known exactly how VA intentionally harms veterans. VA has been doing it through maltreatment, outright denial of benefits, or through actual negligent homicide and intentional over-medicating unsuspecting veterans with fatal prescription drug cocktails; drugs that are proven to induce suicidal behavior.
Perhaps the good soul Steve was, just could not endure seeing "his people" treated by VA and DoD in such a diabolical manner. Perhaps, his heart just stopped, because it was broken over it all. Perhaps he had loaded his vet advocacy ruck sack with one case too many, and he could not march on without more concern and help from American leaders, its citizens, and other advocates.
There is no doubt at TMSR that Ranger Robinson will be fast-tracked through heaven's gate, and have a leadership billet waiting for him in the sky.

Anaglyph nihilism
Watched Harry Potter IMAX 3D, only 20 minutes of which are 3D and once again the 3D process was hardly perfect. Our last 3D experience was The Polar Express, that was entirely 3D, it worked, and it was 50% cheaper 2 years ago. Decided it was worth making some more anaglyphs.
Anaglyphs can recreate more of what it felt like to be somewhere than 2D alone. They are a matter of luck and rely more on 2D techniques to simulate 3D than the stereo pair itself. Someday we may make anaglyphs from Vicacopter.
Lacking 2 decent cameras, we have built up notes on making anaglyphs with a single camera.
Use narrow depth of field to enhance depth.
Use slight camera movement for nearby objects, even less than the distance between human eyes. Use large camera movement for distant objects, over 5ft.
Align objects to point in and out instead of sideways.
Make it as bright as possible.
Objects which are to protude in front of the 3D image need 2 B fully enclosed in the borders.
Use Cyan/Red to retain color.
All images must B rectilinear. Fish eye doesn't work.
The stereo pair needs to be lined up vertically as much as possible.

BOOTIE-BUDDY TM Yoga Platform Patents and Trademarks Pending Meditation Chair & Dynamic Pelvic Lifting System
The Bootie-Buddy is a multipurpose, multifunction device which holds the key to strengthening the abs, core, lower back and buttocks with ease. It is a completely new concept to fitness and wellnes and has some other very "far reaching applications."
In one such application similar to that of the Tibetan Meditation Chair, the Booty-Buddy provides the same unique "center-of- gravity" that gives the user the ability to stretch and move dramatically beyond his or her "normal, habitual" limitations with ease. Yogi's world wide recognize that this "low torso" position relieves stress in the hips and lower back, almost automatically. For mature practioners and those who are less flexible, they are routinely advised to use such a meditation chair for increased leverage and reduced stress. So, for those who practice yoga the Bootie-Buddy serves as an ideal, "meditation platform," far superior than cushions, blankets, bolsters or blocks. [The durometer makes the difference.] However, unlike the Tibetan chair, it is light weight, portable and can be easily used on the ground or on conventional seating. Conversely, the cost of a Tibetan Chair can be several hundred dollars.
Then turn it over and let the fun begin. Lie face down and position the dynamic "I"-Beam support system directly beneath your torso to provide you with maximum leverage potential to facilitate core power conditioning; half plank, cobra and full plank exercises with ease. Beyond this immediately move into the reciprical back strengthening progam with leg lifts, back bends and swim kick exercises. All this and more can be done without strain and without excessive pressure to that delicate part of our anatomy. Other exercises involve assisted push-ups, pelvic lifts and the Bootie-Buddy can even be used to convert a couch or sofa into an in-house exercise ball workout. The applications are endless.
Please understand that, although the Bootie-Buddy is purchased largely by women for women, men benefit greatly also, especially when performing pelvic thrust exercises. Those exercises can now be done easily without any unnecessary discomfort, to a man's delicate anatomy.
Aside from those exercises specifically outlined, there are a host of other unique exercises and applications that are completely outlined in the instructional booklet some are techniques not found anywhere. It's very likely that someday every home, every gym and every Yoga studio will have the Bootie-Buddy. Don't wait, buy yours today and take advantage of our amazing introductory offer.Enjoy...!"Trainer Ken"

Mexico's President Vicente Fox has called on Mexico City officials to clear street protests by supporters of a leftist presidential candidate demanding a vote recount.
A presidential spokesman said Wednesday that the protests are blocking people from their jobs and hurting the capital city's economy.
Mexico City's mayor has declined to take action against the protesters who have set up tents and blocked traffic on Reforma Avenue since Sunday.
Leftist presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has said the protests will continue until all ballots in the July 2 vote are recounted.
Election officials say conservative Felipe Calderon won the election by less than one percent of ballots.
The nation's top electoral court is hearing election complaints. It has until September 6 to rule on Lopez Obrador's challenge and officially announce the winner of the election.
Some information for this report was provided by AP and Reuters.

Baltimore Museum of Art presents films by Mary Reid Kelley and Patrick Kelley: We Are Ghosts
BALTIMORE, MD — In collaboration with the Johns Hopkins University's Center for Advanced Media Studies, The Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) presents Mary Reid Kelley and Patrick Kelley: We Are Ghosts on view April 4 through August 19, 2018 in the Contemporary Wing. The exhibition presents two dramatically stylized films that artfully resurrect history and poetry. For This Is Offal (2016), which won the Baloise Prize at Art Basel, and their most recent film, In The Body of The Sturgeon (2017), they reanimate the dead, empowering a drowned woman to tell the story of her suicide, and envision the final moments of an American submarine crew. These unorthodox ghost stories are told in careful meter and rhyme with wild wordplay and wickedly funny twists throughout the films' scripts. More broadly, the artists' choice to focus on subjects who represent life experiences not recorded in detail by official history (an unnamed, "average" woman and enlisted Navy men) is an act of reclaiming otherwise lost souls. Nearly life-size lightbox portraits of the film's characters are also presented in the exhibition.
"The subjects of these two films parallel one another as embodiments of femininity and masculinity under the stresses generated by their own imperfect natures and confrontations with death, as well as the eras they inhabit," said Kristen Hileman, Senior Curator of Contemporary Art. "Despite their anachronistic forms of speech and odd, blank-eyed appearances, these figures represent us—or any person, at any time, who has struggled with her or his sense of identity and place in posterity—and lead us to the awareness, expressed in the show's title, that inevitably 'we are ghosts.'"
The division of labor in producing these films is divided between MacArthur Award–winner Mary Reid Kelley (American, b. 1979) and her artistic collaborator and life partner Patrick Kelley (American, b. 1969). In addition to creating the brilliant verbal contortions of the scripts, Mary directs and performs most of the roles in makeup and costumes of her own design. Patrick, who also appears in the two works, produces the digital effects and editing that result in the seamless but strange cinematic universes that underscore the characters' plights. Harkening back to the early years of movies, particularly the dreamlike sets of German Expressionist film, the black-and-white mises-en-scene announce to viewers that they have entered another reality in which contemporary critical thinking infuses nostalgic fantasy with the power to bring greater nuance and empathy to attempts to imagine the people who lived before us.

An exhibition by Vanley Burke - Black History Month
Come and celebrate the wonderful diversity in the city and the UK with our 'Being Built Together' exhibition.
Time 8:00 a.m.
Venue Birmingham Cathedral
Vanley Burke is often described as the 'Godfather of Black British Photography', whereby his iconic images have captured the evolving cultural landscape, social change, and stimulated debate in the United Kingdom over the past four decades.
He draws strength from remaining a humble man of the community, whose personable character allows him to capture the intimate and private nature of people's everyday lives.
Vanley's body of work represents possibly the largest photographic record of the Caribbean Diaspora in Britain.

The handles are supposed to be used when placing the mattress on the box spring, not really to the mattress. However, most of us do use them when it time to flip or rotate the mattress. Also, today MOST new mattresses have tops, and unless the pillow is on both top and bottom, you can flip it!. Currently, the department only has three spare cars available, but is ordering eight new patrol cars once the 2013 14 budget year begins in July. Once those arrive, police plan to park an additional eight old vehicles at schools, so long as they don't lose any other cars due to damage or mechanical failure, said Maj. Tim Flack.. 1.

The Lines We Dare Not Cross...
This is my 292nd blog post. I'm nearing my 3rd anniversary as a blogger. That's well over a thousand days. I've blogged about friends passing to the other side, the antics of my 7th graders, additions of babies to our family, farmlife, the metamorphosis of Paco from corporate telecommuter to homemaker/farmer extraordinaire, our blossoming llama "herd", the comings and goings of vacations, a little knitting, and flies. Some blogs have been posted in the wee hours of the morning; most were done in the evenings before I went to bed. I've held a couple of contests--just to rouse the lurkers out of their revery. I've reconnected with friends from former times through my blog and have begun to read their's as well. About a year ago I started writing about my survival trip in 1974, but that seems to have petered out. That's a shame because it IS a smashing story that I ought to tell! Unfortunately the REALLY REALLY good things I'd like to blog about are untouchable because of obvious people who are still alive. I try to maintain some decency here, but I'd really like to let loose one of these days and tell some REAL stories...Most of the time I blog just to itch a part of me that truly gets a buzz out of writing. I don't think about readers; judging from the diminishing number of comments, I'm not even sure I have all that many. And the loyal oriental following that I was attracting--well, I'm ashamed to admit I blocked them. That was just a little weird. I've been thinking about telling the whole Paco China How-we-met story. Once again, I'd be writing that more for myself than my readers because I don't really know who my readers are. I've also toyed with concentrating on this blog and making it more cerebral or literary. The reality is that every word I write is embedding itself somewhere deep within the web. When I die will someone be able to exhume all these posts and make some suppositions about me? How will I measure up?? But oh how I'd like to really write honestly about my community, my job, my ex husband, my inner demons, my soft underbelly...that's the writing I daresn't do on my blog. Am I chicken? I'd love to hear your answers to that question. What are the moral lines YOU don't cross??
Oh, and Happy Halloween. Enjoy this clip from Young Frankenstein that I watched last night. It so makes me guffaw every time the monster says, "Putting on the Ritz!"
Where did Teri Garr go?????

Let's Hear It For Obama!!!
We've been in labor with this baby for 10 months, but we're proud to announce the arrival of our bouncing baby electric car delivered during the season's first snowstorm on Tuesday!! And what a delight he is!! Purrs. Like riding in a Napa Valley hot air balloon only without the balloon and the tiny vineyards down on the ground and that blast of fire every so often and the yummy breakfast after the ride! What I'm saying is...quiet. When we get a license on Monday, I can take to the high road beyonod Bench Road! I'm betting lots of new "best friends" are going to emerge and want a ride--most of them pubescent. Come and ride!!!! (In case you don't remember, this car is courtesy of President Obama's stimulus plan to get one million electric cars on the road by 2015, so we thank him!!!) I guess the semi driver's trip through our canyon was harrowing to say the least. We forget that getting to us sometimes presents challenges.

I've Changed My Tune
I have very simple material needs and wants. I don't have closets full of shoes. I don't change my furniture every other year or decorate to excess. I could probably go several years on a spending fast if needs be. The exception to this is the inexplicable obsession I've had with Subarus for probably the last six years--maybe five really really seriously. In fact Subarus are the ONLY car I am truly aware of on America's highways. I seem to have a tracking device. The other day I felt one behind me on the highway, and sure enough there it was!!! I KNOW!! Somethiing about the shape just stirs my soul. Then the roof rack. Oh, I could go on and on. Here's another weird thing--I made up a song sung to the tune of "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" which goes something like this: "I covet (you have to say that word quickly) your Subaru. I covet your Subaru. I covet your Su-u-ba-roo." Then I pretty much repeat thos lyrics over and over. I have been singing this song every time I see a Subaru. I even have begun approaching Subaru owners at the gas pump to "talk shop". I have been guilty of fantasy. And I cannot explain any of this. Perhaps it's because Subarus rule and reign in all the really cool places I like to go--Jackson Hole, Vermont, Maine, and Colorado. Most likely it's because of good memories with my friend Mary Jane in Vermont--mostly in the Fall, mostly in gorgeous remote Vermont mountains. I just think that if there's a "true" car, it's probably a Subaru. Could I have a drumroll, please. Turn the houselights on, Al. WE BOUGHT A SUBARU LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm weeping as I write this!!!! And I feel like I've come home!!!!!! To a home I never knew could even be!!!!!!!!!! I'll have to post pictures. She's 13! I know, I know, I'm going to have to put up with the teen-age thing. But I am so willing to let her belch in public, and pick her nose, and roll her eyes!!!!! Just as long as she lets me love her in the pure way that I really really want to!!!! This is actually my third, but the other two were pre-obsession--not much recollection.My tune has changed. Driving her home today, I sang (in a sort of Munchkin Lollipop Guild voice): "I adopted a Subaru! I adopted a Subaru. I adopted a Su-u-ba-roo!!!!!" Same tune, but oh so different lyrics...

A Very Merry Unbirthday to You!
My good friends in Vermont, who work around the clock to ensure that the freezer cases in my neighborhood are stocked ever to the ready, sent me a Half Birthday greeting this morning. Now, I think THAT'S classy. But then Ben and Jerry have been my "main squeezes" for many many years. I proudly wear my B & J shirt all over the place, and it NEVER fails to get attention! I stick Ben and Jerry gift coupons in Christmas stockings. Paco and I started an anniversary tradition on our honeymoon in Maine by sharing a pint huddled in bed with the covers up tight--June in Maine smacks a lot of Brrrrrr Lake in June so it always hits the spot with the right combination of quilts! I have their ice cream cookbook. I make a beeline for any B & J stores and was a regular at my favorite in the underground level of the World Trade Center. In fact, I took friends and my sister-in-law there just three days before 9-11. Of course, most of my memories about Ben and Jerry's are tied up in my friend Mary Jane. She was a stockholder (original stock was only available to Vermonters which she was at the time) and waxed emotional at tellings of stockholder day--ALL YOU COULD EAT ICE CREAM!!! She and I toured the factory up there in Burlington--visited the Flavor Cemetery in the back, and came away with little charming cow magnets available only at the main headquarters. Of course, I have the whole Ben and Jerry story up in my library. I know they're way beyond liberal. I know politically some might find them extreme. But gosh darn it, they remember me on my birthday and now on my HALF birthday (new marketers I'm suspecting) AND on Free Cone day once a year. So in my eyes, they're A-O-K. Besides, when you visit their mecca in Vermont the parking lot is lousy with Subarus...it's ALL about the Subaru...

Carpe Diem!
I haven't felt like carpe-ing much of anything lately, but I'm hoping it comes back a little at a time. I'm coming alive again in my classroom, and that feels good as well. So go out there and do some diem seizing! As shall I...
I'm following the progress of one of our Natural Helpers who was in an auto accident and in a coma. She is starting to respond, and this song from Newsies caused her to tap her toe a little!!! Go Sami!!!!

...To See What He Could See
What did YOU do this weekend? I never know what answers I'll get in "Seventh Heaven." Hunting season adds a new twist to the game as well. I also got a story about one mom giving a distressed baby kitten CPR! All manner of good writing material here. Gimme a pen! Isn't this bear a beut? I think he's headed for Rugland. I was hoping for a wee taste of bear meat to satisfy my curiosity, but apparently this bear went bad before they could get him to civilization. Jayden picked him out of a tree on the Oregon/Idaho border. Kerplunk. But the grissliest part of the story was the imitation of the sound the bear made. Kind of a high-pitched screech. Jayden says it still haunts him. Me too.
Meanwhile I'm having to up the ante in school. How am I to compete with the "Call of the Wild"? I look down on a sea of glassy-eyed stares, and I KNOW their minds are in the hills! We have a tradition here at our school--The Biggest Buck Contest. Bring in your antlers, measure them, and see if you snagged the winner!! A few years ago, one Gregory misinterpreted the contest rules and brought in a whole head--hair, tongue-lolling out, eyes--you get the picture. Clan of the Cave Bear for about two months here until we get it all out of our system and return to the 21st Century...sort of.

I sent my "courier" off to Pocatello with my paper/case study/thesis/pain in the neck this morning at 8:30. I finished writing it at 6:30, printed it off at 7, and had it all bound by 7:30. Paco had to restrain me from packaging it for the trip in this mailer. He thought that might deliver the wrong message.
That was one of the most painful months of my life. I'm glad to be among the living again and to be able to take up my sentinel position once more torturing flies. At the conclusion of this project I wanted to down a goblet of something festive and perhaps numbing--but my principles restrain me from going off the deep end, so I ate a dog biscuit with gusto instead. Ruff.
And so, as the sun slowly ascends to its mid morning height, I bid a final farewell to Allyn Knox, rookie principal of Quincy High School. I leave you with your nasty Citizens for Traditional Values, and your racist constituents, and your Holiday Festival woes, and your bullies. May you find peace in a far corner of your office with prescription drugs of your choice. Perhaps Mrs. Ben-David will lend you a calming poetry book... I've dealt with your problems longer than I EVER wanted to, and frankly, my dear, I don't give a...

Otanjou-bi Omedetou Gozaimasu!
Say that 10 times!!! Happy Birthday to my Favorite Daughter! I was so surprised when you were born. Back in the day we "took what we got", or in other words, we didn't get the 5 month Head's Up about what was coming! I remember entertaining no other thoughts than BOY!! EVER, and actually got a little peeved if anyone suggested otherwise. Then you arrived and weren't! and I fell in love with you. You're BY FAR in the TOP 5 BEST THINGS THAT HAVE EVER HAPPENED TO ME! We "celebrated" your birthday back in June when we got that crazy hare to add another Broadway play to our perfect day in New York. That was the BEST! Every year on your birthday I think back to that perfect golden Autumn day that you made me a mother. We've had a rocking time. You've re-defined "Gutsy Woman" for me. All my love across Wyoming, Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Virginia, and Maryland!

Uh huh, I did.
I saw a UFO today on the way to school. It took me by surprise, so I had to stop the car and get out. Picture a glowing matchstick moving slowly across the horizon above the mountain range. Slowly. My news was not met at school with resounding belief. In fact a few laughed. I guess I need to practice my delivery. I told one teacher, however, who responded with her father's amazing tale of a UFO landing by their cabin! And I believe him because he taught me how to drive when I was 14!! Then the crossing guard told me about an encounter with Big Foot up in the mountains! They stared each other down for about 6 minutes, but when he made a move toward the 7 foot tall hairy guy, Mr. Foot took off loping down the mountain. I would so like to add a Big Foot story to my UFO one now.

Semi-religious Holiday-- Brrrrrrrr Lake Style
Today is "Opening Day" of hunting season. I cringe when it appears periodically on the school calendar. Some years we bite the bullet (yuck yuck) and just deal with 2/3's of the students being out, but this year we caved in and made the day a holiday. Paco and I have chosen to use our time to other ends and leave the animal slaughters to those less inclined to jackhammer or write papers.
I've been in labor with this "BABY" for nearly a month.
Michelangelo? No. Pre-deck!!!!! (Note the duck tape on the jackhammer.)

Tour includes:
- Slide Presentation
- Our Story

- Meet & Feed Our Buffalo
- Visit the gift shop
Ages 3 - 103, $6
Ages 0-2, free
You'll want to bring spending money for their gift shop, which has Primal Kitty handmade Win-Tur bison fur cat toys, Primal Kitty sheep skin cat toys, leather goods, souvenirs, jewelry, and more.

Did you ever have one of those weeks when nothing happened?
Well, I just experienced this for the first time in the 28 years I have been penning this column.
I went trolling for some old news that needed to be printed. At the other end of my line of communication, however, we could not get into my e-mail account, so we tried sending a fax - which ended up with a nice header but nothing else.
It's like fishing without putting the worm on the hook - you can wave that hook all you want, but nothing's going to bite.
I do have a bit of good news, which involves a prelude to a postponed tournament.
I am happy to say that someone recently bid $800 for the Glacier Club golf package donated to the Kids with Disabilities silent auction. The tournament, which ran into some inclement weather, will be rescheduled for late September at Hillcrest. Eight C-notes goes a long ways toward helping those in our community. Thank you.
Bridgestone will be busy June 11-12 with two separate golf ball fittings.
Dalton Ranch Golf Club will host the first fitting on the 11th, while Hillcrest Golf Club will follow with a similar session on the 12th. Check with your respective pro shops for more information and times.
Before the fittings, Ping will be in town for a Demo Day from 1 to 7 p.m. Tuesday at Hillcrest. Just the name alone conjures up images of hitting it straight and long. So check out the latest offering, and try out some new equipment.
It's hard to believe, but the Coca-Cola of Durango-Navajo Trail Open is fast approaching June 18-21. In order to properly thank the many contributing sponsors for this popular regional event, a Sponsors Tournament will be held June 13 at Hillcrest. Players will tee off by virtue of a shotgun start, and dinner will follow at the clubhouse.
Attention all intermediate level golfers who want to fine tune their game, an Intermediate Golfer Clinic will be held from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Wednesday at the Hillcrest Golf Club. Check with the HGC pro shop for cost and sign-up information.
Yes, there will be a 29th edition of the Randango Golf Tournament on Aug. 1 this year at Hillcrest. However, after much soul searching, golfers who will be playing in this event, will be on a short leash as to not violate club rules.
The list of stipulations are straight forward and will make for a better event, which, by the way, is all for the graduating high school seniors to help jump-start their collegiate student-athletic endeavors with much-needed scholarship money.
For more information, contact Skip or Gail at 247-3031. Let's make sure this tournament reaches its 30th birthday next year.
Also at Dalton Ranch Golf Club this June: The monthly Couples Tournament on June 14; Columbine Classic on June 25; the Calcutta on the DRGC Pavilion on June 26 and the ever-popular Choker Tournament on June 27.

Patrice Baker and Supria Karmakar invite you to a two person exhibit "Beyond the Cover, A book arts show", Opening Reception is Thursday September 6th, 7-9 pm. at the Whitestone Gallery, 80 Norfolk Street, Guelph, ON.
Exhibit runs from September 1- 27th, 2012
Cycles of Time, Altered Book, Encaustic Mixed Media, 2012
Artist Statement
Beyond the Cover, a book arts exhibit is a show of works that open, using old books, either in their sum or their parts. In this series, the concept of 'home' is explored; where home like structures are created using book parts, found objects and collage materials with encaustic medium. The structures are created to symbolize the notion of things that make up 'home' on a spiritual and/or emotional level.
The 'home' symbolizes the 'self' of deeper consciousness outside of the ego center. During a time in my life where great change is unfolding, the identity of self is questioned, explored and being reckoned with. Places where we might feel a sense of brokenness, also opens the doors to a place of "Maitri", loving kindness to self and a place where new stories to live by can be written, or created to be a guidance, such as in the "Oracle".
In my artwork, I use found objects, antique findings, Bengali letters, personal iconography to explore visual narratives about life's ever changing experiences and tell them here as stories, in a book, with chapters paying most attention to the spiritual aspects of life, feminist politics and cultural concepts. The process and practice of visually creating allows me to delve into the mystic, experience intrigue, find solace, comfort and connection within my day-to-day human experiences.

Part of the wagon train experience was to dress in period clothing. We had a lot of fun gathering together shawls, skirts, dresses, bonnets and aprons. The guys really just needed a vest or suspenders and a hat. David had a number of white shirts and to make them more authentic looking we used tea and also chamomile to give them a soft yellow or muslin look. We simmered up a strong pot of tea -- using tea leaves we had already enjoyed once as a beverage. Then strained and added the wet shirt to the pot of tea. It is important to wet the shirt or fabric first so that the dye is absorbed evenly. Let the clothing soak in this tea bath until it has achieved the desired shade. Wring the cloth, and allow to hang dry.
The soft muted shades that these tea stained clothing developed was simply perfect for our purposes. Many professional dress makers will use this process to match material to a faded gown that they are altering.
An informative sampling focused on herbs and tea with an occasional sprinkling of fairy dust and a glimpse into family activities too. The contributions to this blog are the combined efforts of the sisters of The Rosemary House and Sweet Remembrances.

149th St
"Not a tourist spot, but a nice location"
There is nothing on Bayside Avenue to write home about but it's a nice enough place and it serves as a connection for many people to their homes on the smaller streets. The buses run regularly across the avenue and there are some small shops and businesses that are aimed at residents, rather than tourists. The street also runs along side Memorial Park which is a nice stop if you have the time. I wouldn't suggest it's a "must see" but it's a nice stop after a long day. It's very much part of a residential area so tourists should not expect much from it.

The U.S. dollar dropped against the major currencies during in the first day of trading for the decade after better than expected economic numbers were released from the U.K. and the U.S. while upbeat comments from the Fed may signal low U.S. interest rates may be here to stay.
Economic News
USD – Dollar Starts the New Year Down
The U.S. dollar fell during the first day of trading in the new decade after the release of manufacturing data from the U.S. Institute of Supply Management. This shows the manufacturing sector grew during the month of December for the fifth consecutive month, suggesting the U.S. economy may be emerging from the recession.
The EUR/USD climbed to a high today of 1.4455. The pair was unable to hold the gains above the significant 1.4450 resistance level; however, the pair is not trading far from this mark in the morning hours of today's Japanese trading session. Yesterday the pair opened at 1.4289.
Interestingly enough, we saw the dollar falling today against the EUR as positive economic data from the U.S. was released. The EUR/USD traded in this type of fashion for most of the previous year as traders would take on more risky, higher yielding assets with improved economic data from the U.S. This trend was reversed during the month of December, particularly after the release of the surprisingly better than expected November Non-Farm Payrolls. As of this release the pair fell on good U.S. economic data. Could we be looking at a return of the major trend, a rising EUR/USD on good U.S. economic results? If so, the EUR/USD may see some appreciation in the New Year as the U.S. economy is showing signs of improvement
EUR – EUR and Pound Begin the New Year Higher
The Pound was trading higher yesterday after the release of positive manufacturing data from Britain. The Manufacturing PMI which was released at 54.1 after market economists forecasted a release of 52.1 helped boost the currency against the dollar. This release could be very significant. It is the first major data pointing at an improving British economy. The data may very well give traders a new reason to go long on the cable after traders have shunned the pound as of recent.
The cable traded at a high today of 1.6239 but has settled at the end of the trading day near its opening price of 1.6089.
Also lending strength to the Pound and its European counterpart, the EUR, were two speeches on Sunday from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and Vice Chairman Donald Kohn. The two policymakers reinforced the low interest rate environment that exists in the U.S. and hinted that the tightening of monetary policy could be further in the future than expected.
Today traders will want to be focused on the European CPI Flash Estimate and the U.S. Pending Home Sales. CPI is an important measure when central bankers determine where to set their key interest rate. A higher than expected CPI could be a positive for the EUR as high inflation could factor in on the decision by the European Central Bank as to when they will begin to raise interest rates. Pending Home Sales are a key data release from the U.S. and shows forward looking data for the U.S. economy.
JPY – Yen off 4-Month Low versus the Dollar
The USD/JPY has come off of its four month high yesterday as the Yen strengthened against both the dollar and the Pound. The weakening of the pair may be attributed to technical selling, readjustment to asset manager's portfolios, and strength seen in equities.
The technical selling came at the resistance level of 93.19 and the pair now trades at 92.23. Year end adjustments to asset manager's portfolios helped the pair climb to a new high during the last week of trading, but at the start of the year, the pair has fallen from its high.
Also pushing the pair lower has been both higher equities in both Japan and in the U.S. Japanese equities are following the trend of American equities. In this morning's trading, the Nikkei 225 was up 0.7% while yesterday the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 1.5%.
A lack of economic data on the calendar from Japan may force traders to take their market cues from the U.S. Traders today will want to follow the Pending Home Sales release today. A better than expected result could take the USD/JPY back above the 93.25 level.
OIL – Crude Oil Rises above $81 on Manufacturing Data and a Lower Dollar
Spot Crude Oil prices moved higher by almost 2% during Monday's trading, surpassing the $81 mark. This is the first time in two months the price has reached this level. Driving the prices higher was better than expected manufacturing data from the U.S. and a dollar that traded lower.
The price of the commodity has been rising as hopes of a global economic recovery ensue. Adding fuel to the fire was a weaker dollar. The EUR/USD traded higher today, trading near the 1.4450 level. As the dollar weakens, crude oil prices typically rise as the price of crude is denominated in dollars. Another factor in the price rise of crude yesterday may have been the cold front that has moved into the Midwestern United States.
Today's trading may be determined by the release of the U.S. Pending Home Sales numbers. A reading above the expected 2.3% decline could help persuade traders of an improving U.S. economy with an increase in crude demands. Traders may want to be long on spot crude oil today.
Technical News
This pair has witnessed a sustained upward movement for the past 2 days now. This movement has pushed the price of this pair into the over-bought territory on the RSI of the hourly chart, signaling that there may be a medium-term downward correction. However, the longer-term trends still appear to be pointing up. Going long appears to continue being the solid choice today.
This pair's strong bullish behavior has resulted in most oscillators indicating that a correction is imminent. The RSI on the hourly, and 4-hour charts all show this pair floating in the over-bought territory, and there are bearish crosses forming on the daily charts' Slow Stochastic. Waiting for the downwards breach and then entering the correction may be wise today.
It appears that the bearish trend may have run out of strength as the current price level has dropped the pair into the under-bought territory on the hourly chart's RSI. The pair also currently sits near the bottom border of the 4 hour chart's Bollinger Bands suggesting a correction may be imminent. Going long with tight stops may be the correct strategy today
A bearish formation on the daily chart is still intact; however the momentum is already quite low. The 4-hour chart is maintaining a slightly bearish indication yet with no distinct conclusion. The Bollinger Bands on the daily chart are tightening which indicates that the break might be imminent. Traders are advised to hold for the breach and then swing into it.
The Wild Card
The recent upward trend in this commodity appears to be running out of steam lately. The highs of the upswings have begun to diminish in size and the longer-term oscillators are beginning indicate an imminent correction. There appears to be a bearish cross on the 30 min. chart's Slow Stochastic, and the weekly Momentum oscillator has turned downwards. Forex traders have a great opportunity to enter this possible trend reversal at a fantastic price and capture the impending price swing

From the Western end of Canada comes "Apotheosis", the debut EP from death metal band Assimilation. This release takes considerable influence from old-school death metal, with particular nods to some of the heavier, slower Morbid Angel songs at times (such as on the title track), as well as references to thrashier bands at other times. This latter sound is evidenced by the riffing style and the guitar tone, which tend to lean more towards the sharp, buzzing riffs of thrash. In direct contrast to both styles are the guitar solos, which present a more balanced, melodic approach. Though they don't sound out of place, these solos definitely provide variation amidst a release that is otherwise dominated by the low-end.
The vocals on this release are one of the better examples in the subgenre. Again, Morbid Angel proves to be somewhat of a good comparison, as Assimilation's vocalist is able to capture that ghastly, ghoulish sound so well. His voice has a bit more low-end though, with the ability to hit higher notes as needed. In general, he tends to complement the musical madness that surrounds him, as the band utilizes double bass, tremolo-picking, sweeping, and a variety of other techniques as required. No particular sound is abused, but none is capitalized on either. While "Apotheosis" is technically proficient, its songs don't have the catchiness of tracks like "Evil Spells" or "Where The Slime Live". Assimilation does have a ton of great riffs, and if they can amp up the memorability and quality of songwriting a little bit, it would not be a surprise to see them sign to a legendary label like Dark Descent Records or FDA Rekotz anytime soon.
Be sure to check out and like Assimilation on Facebook!

While still a law professor, California Supreme Court Justice Frank C. Newman paraphrased a US Supreme Court Justice to the effect that "...if the average farmer, in order to protect his rights under laws like the Crop Insurance Act, had to read the Federal Register as he reads his daily newspaper, we probably would not need crop insurance acts because there would no longer be any time to plant crops."*
Farmers and other citizens here in California face an additional burden of keeping track of the myriad state regulations that issue out of Sacramento on an almost daily basis. It is the duty of the state Office of Administrative Law to compile all state regulations and make them available to all interested parties through the California Code of Regulations.
Of special interest to researchers is the electronic version of the California Code of Regulations. Recently upgraded, the site allows paging through the entirety of Code section by section as well as adding the following search options:
Search for Words With the Code
Search within Specific Title(s) of the Code
Search for a Specific Regulatory Section of the Code
Find a Specific California Regulatory Agency (including direct links to the Code sections that discuss the powers and responsibilities of each Agency)
Best of all, the search engine appears to allow authentic words and connector searching using the same techniques you know and love from Westlaw. Searching by word for:
locates the relevant code sections that have the word parole in the preliminary section of the code and include the word gang in the same sentence as color or tattoo or insignia. This means all the power of Westlaw searching at no cost.
Important Downside: It is worth noting that with all the power of true Westlaw searching comes one major headache: if you search for a phrase of more than one word the search engine for the Code will read the space as an automatic OR connector. For example, if you run the following search:
you will get 2810 "hits", many of which only include the word violation but not the word parole. The solution is to put all multiword phrases within quotation marks. So if your search is:
you find a much more reasonable 55 hits, all of which deal with parole violation.
* see: 63 Harv. L. Rev. 929 at page 953, quoting Justice Jackson's dissenting opinion in Federal Crop Ins. Corp. v. Merrill, 332 U.S. 380, 386 (1947)

Big money on offer for EPL stars, but is China worth it?
If Frank Lampard is to swap Chelsea for China, he might do well to first consider the colourful experiences of his former teammates Nicolas Anelka and Didier Drogba.
Pay disputes, off-pitch rows and an alien culture have seen many of the foreign stars to have joined the Chinese Super League beating down the door to get out again, sometimes months after arriving, after being unable to settle.
Former France striker Anelka started the influx into China when he was snapped up by Shanghai Shenhua for a widely reported 175,000 pounds ($283,000) a week 10 months ago. He was joined in Shanghai by Drogba, who signed for an eye-watering 200,000 pounds a week.
But 33-year-old Anelka quickly saw his move turn sour and is in talks with the club to leave, with reports suggesting Drogba might go with him.
Drogba is yet to receive his salary for December because of a boardroom row, said the Oriental Sports Daily, while Shenhua told AFP that talks are under way with Anelka to cancel the remaining year of his mammoth contract. Drogba has at least been a hit on the pitch, scoring eight goals in 11 games. Anelka netted only three goals all season. And then there is the strange case of Argentine Dario Conca.
The attacking midfielder, voted the league player of the year in Brazil for two years in a row at Fluminense, has followed that up with consecutive Chinese championships at Guangzhou Evergrande.
He joined Guangzhou in 2011 for a Chinese record $10 million transfer fee, on a three-year deal worth a staggering $1.3 million a month, according to the Sina Sports website. Now he too looks set for the exit door.
Last month he left a note with the club saying, "I've gone and I'm not coming back." He told Sina Sports that he was unhappy at the "many strange things which go on here", but did not elaborate.
It's not only the current crop of international stars who have run aground in China. Perhaps the most famous was the case of former England midfielder Paul Gascoigne, who joined Gansu Tianma in 2003 but left after four games saying he wasn't getting paid — Anelka and Drogba might sympathise.
