Climate Corps 2010: Surfing Yahoo! Worldwide for Energy Savings
What do you get as a gift for the person who has everything? Though most of us won't have to face this dilemma until the holidays, I find that being an EDF Climate Corps Fellow at Yahoo! similarly stretches my creative limits because I'm being asked to uncover energy efficiency opportunities at an already very green company.
Whether it's drawing inspiration from chicken coops to build data centers, using goats instead of lawn mowers, or pioneering an open-source model of sharing environmental high-tech practices, Yahoo! has an impressive record of thought leadership in the intersection of IT and green. Along with several other EDF Climate Corps Fellows in Silicon Valley, I am tasked to look far outside of the box to find energy efficiency improvements for my host company. With the majority of the "low-hanging fruit" already picked, my position requires me to search through all of Yahoo!'s worldwide operations for efficiency improvements.
My main project work so far has been to evaluate current power consumption metrics of Yahoo!'s domestic and international data centers, both for determining the company's current carbon footprint as well as scouting prospective sites for new centers. Such a job requires:
- Researching countries where Yahoo! could possibly build data centers that use renewable energy, and considering both the pros and cons of each option, including cost of electricity, incentive programs and tax implications.
- Evaluating the expected Power Usage Efficiency of a data center in each location, which can often bring unexpected results. For example, India is a well-known hot spot for tech companies to source IT operations due to its low-cost labor and highly educated talent pool. However, a data center in India is likely to use power about as half as efficiently as one in the U.S., if not more, due to the hot and humid climate, among other issues.
- Assessing all of the factors that Yahoo! must consider (and balance) when building a data center -- not just energy efficiency, but also data transfer speed, bandwidth, and physical server capacity.
I'm also now working on a project with a different global track: studying the Japanese Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF), an air conditioning model that is popular in Asia and Europe, and my job is to see whether certain components at Yahoo!'s Sunnyvale, CA headquarters can be retro-fitted with this technology. Since these systems are designed to be installed using tiny piping that requires little additional drilling (a 550-year-old hotel in France was able to retrofit), I hope to reduce the HVAC Load in Yahoo!'s Headquarters by 20 percent -- which could result in dramatic savings.
Having long had an interest in global strategy and operations, my work has really allowed me to pursue those functional interests while also building on my experience in the energy and high-tech verticals. With companies needing to implement energy efficiency on a global scale, I hope that my findings at Yahoo! can have a similar international reach.

Greetings again from the darkness. Adapting a hit stage production to the big screen is always a bit challenging. When it's a full blown musical, the challenge grows exponentially. Throw in a highly unusual story-telling structure and limit 99% of the screen time to two characters and, well, a filmmaker is either off-the-charts ambitious or one who truly enjoys suffering for art.
Director Richard LaGravenese (P.S. I Love You) brings the hit off-Broadway musical by Jason Robert Brown to the screen, and features Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan as Cathy and Jamie, respectively. Ms. Kendrick has become the go-to actress for musicals with Into the Woods (as Cinderella) and the Pitch Perfect movies. She is a wonderful singer and a fine actress. Mr. Jordan is best known for TV's "Smash" and for "Newsies" on Broadway. He too is a talented singer.
Surprisingly, it's not the talented leads that provide the most interest here … it's the story structure. As per the title, the story follows the couple's relationship over a five year period. The opening scene features Cathy reading and reacting to the break-up note left by Jamie. The second scene features Jamie describing his joy when he first falls for Cathy, as they romp in bed. See, Cathy's story goes from the end to the beginning, while Jamie's story goes from the beginning to the end … intersecting only at the marriage proposal in the park. It's a fascinating way to tell a story – not just two perspectives, but also in reverse order of each other!
The song lyrics act as the dialogue, and that's where the transition from stage to screen falls a bit short. While the lyrics are clever and adequately describe each relationship change, those same lyrics and the non-stop singing, prevent the viewers from ever connecting to the characters … and more importantly, prevent us from understanding how these two characters ever connected to each other. Rather than a love story, it comes across as a moment of passion that turns into a relationship between two people who don't have much in common and don't particularly care for each other. And the real crux of the tension stems from Jamie's skyrocketing novel writing career versus Cathy's going-nowhere-but-Ohio acting career.
Cathy starts sad and ends happy, while Jamie starts happy (he found a Shiksa princess!) and finds a way to end his misery (writing a Dear Jane note). It's Sunset to Sunrise, and Sunrise to Sunset. The "goodbye" finale is very creative and well done. This unusual story structure is quite interesting, and the lyrics are sharp … it's the lack of spirit in the music, and the 90 minutes of the same two voices that prevent this from being something special.

Text-message surveys may help monitor flu outbreaks
A text-message survey sent out May 12, 2009, to which more than 50,000 Mexican cell phone users responded, found that 17% of respondents reported influenza-like illness (ILI) symptoms, 49% of which were severe. Severe ILI was defined as inability to work, study, or maintain family care. Researchers compared these findings with a nationwide clinic-based surveillance system, which showed the percent of severe cases increasing from 36% on Apr 1 to a peak on Apr 26 of 58%. They said comparison of data from the text-message survey with clinic-based epidemic curves for pandemic H1N1 flu "showed less variability than expected; no geographic variation was detected." They conclude, "When carefully deployed, unstructured supplementary service data surveys may be a practical, low-cost, and timely complement to traditional surveillance." However, they caution that the low (5.8%) response rate hindered direct comparisons and recommend refinements to limit recall errors and increase the response rate.

New Zealand emphasizes need to stay flu-alert
New Zealand's Ministry of Health (MOH) issued a reminder today that the country is still experiencing significant levels of pandemic H1N1 influenza, even though the World Health Organization declared the pandemic over yesterday. Deputy Director of Public Health Darren Hunt said in a press release, "The pandemic influenza strain is the predominant strain circulating this winter. . . .We are seeing higher levels of hospitalization in areas that weren't severely affected last year. To date, there had been over 300 people admitted to hospital this year with confirmed H1N1, which includes over 30 people admitted to intensive care." The MOH is encouraging vaccination and early medical attention.

Serious H1N1 cases in China not tied to obesity, pregnancy
Chinese researchers dissecting data from the Notifiable Disease Surveillance System found about half of patients with serious, critical, or fatal pandemic H1N1 cases in China had no underlying disease, that obesity and pregnancy did not increase risk, and that heart disease and allergies did. They also found that those who did not receive prompt neuraminidase inhibitor therapy (flu antivirals) were at increased risk of death, and that those 6 to 17 years old were at lower risk. Writing in the Journal of Infection, they identified 475 severe, 73 critical, and 69 fatal H1N1 cases in 2009. Most deaths involved multiple-organ failure, with a median of 10 days from symptom onset to death.

$100 million NIAID program will study human immune responses
US officials today announced the launch of a 5-year, $100 million program to study the human immune system's responses to infection and vaccination, with the goal of providing better treatments and vaccines. The studies will be done at six "Human Immune Phenotyping Centers" around the country, with funds coming from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, according to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in a release. The studies will focus on responses to viruses and bacteria such as influenza, West Nile, and pneumococcus. The investigators will analyze samples taken from groups such as children, the elderly, and those with autoimmune diseases before and after exposure to naturally acquired infections or vaccines, HHS said. Eventually the findings will be gathered into a Web-based database and made available to the scientific community. "This research effort represents a major expansion of efforts to define the principles of human immune regulation, instead of relying on findings from animal models that have limitations and cannot always be extrapolated to people," said Daniel Rotrosen, MD, director of the Division of Allergy, Immunology, and Transplantation at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which is administering the program. The institutions and principal investigators involved are Baylor Research Institute, Dallas, Jacques Banchereau, PhD; Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, Ellis Reinherz, MD; Emory University, Atlanta, Bali Pulendran, PhD; Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., Gregory Poland, MD; Stanford University, Calif., Mark Davis, PhD; and Yale University, New Haven, Conn., David Hafler, MD, and Erol Fikrig, MD.

Broadly resistant Gram-negative bacteria spreading, study says
Enterobacteriaceae that produce an enzyme that makes them resistant to carbapenem and many other classes of antibiotics are spreading in India and Pakistan and have been found in the United Kingdom as well, according to a study published by Lancet Infectious Diseases. The researchers looked for the enzyme, called New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase 1 (NDM-1), in Enterobacteriaceae isolates from centers in India and Pakistan and from the UK's national reference laboratory. They found 37 NDM-1-positive isolates from the UK lab and a total of 136 from sites in India and Pakistan. The enzyme was found mostly in Escherichia coli (36 isolates) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (111), "which were highly resistant to all antibiotics except to tigecycline and colistin," the report says. It says Enterobacteriaceae with NDM-1 "potentially herald the end of treatment with beta-lactams, fluoroquinolones, and aminoglycosides—the main antibiotic classes for the treatment of Gram-negative antibiotics." The authors say these bacteria are potentially a major global public health problem, because there are few new antibiotics for Gram-negative bacteria in the pipeline and none that are active against NDM-1 producers. They also comment that several of the UK isolates came from Britons who had traveled to India or Pakistan for elective surgery. Since some other Europeans and Americans go to India for elective surgery, the resistant species are likely to spread worldwide, the authors predict.

Fitbit debuted their original fitness trackers close to a decade ago, and since then, we've seen the explosion of fitness devices and smart watches on the scene. It looks like they have now decided to combine their expertise in fitness tracking with the increasingly common smartwatch market, giving us the new Fitbit Ionic, the company's first real foray into the smartwatch world. How does it stack up against the lineup of smartwatches on the market already?
On the outside, the Fitbit is already a winner. It's made of lightweight aluminum, and Fitbit has used the same method used in smartphones to fuse plastic and aluminum together into the body of the watch. The fitness sensors are located on the rear, and the back is angled to let them properly touch your wrist at all times. The screen is slightly curved, spherical glass lens, and occupies the whole front of the device; the screen doesn't have direct edges, but there are large bevels on the sides. It's also very bright, so you can see it properly even in direct sunlight.
Feature-wise, the Ionic has a color touchscreen, notification support, and the ability to control music – the usual smartwatch features. As a fitness tracker, it also has built-in GPS tracking, water resistance, swim tracking, and a host of others, such as automatically sensing when you've stopped running or walking. It runs a new software – Fitbit OS – which will fully support apps made by third parties. PurePulse, Fitbit's heart rate sensor, has been overhauled and updated, to more accurately track your heart rate during high-output activities. They've also included a new Tri-Wave sensor, which tracks your relative oxygen saturation in your blood – which is meant to lead in the future to tracking all sorts of new things, such as sleep apnea. And of course, it can track your sleep.
So how does it stack up to other smartwatches, like the Apple Watch? You'll have to try it out for yourself to find out for sure, but from the sounds of it, the Fitbit Ionic is a real competitor in the smartwatch world.

This is my new favourite dessert. It's creamy, tangy, a gorgeous texture… plus gluten free and refined sugar free. And because it includes good quality gelatin, it's doing your gut health some good as you indulge.
(If you need to buy good quality gelatin, buy the I Quit Sugar one here, or the Great Lakes one here.)
This yummy Lemon & Ginger Nut Cheesecake draws inspiration from two sources.
First, a Lemon Cheesecake I used to buy from Marks & Spencer in the UK about twenty years ago. Not remotely healthy, but totally delicious with a base made of ginger nut biscuits, YES!
Second source of inspiration was this I Quit Sugar Mango & Passionfruit Cheesecake. A healthier version of a classic dessert, but still a cheesecake made with cream cheese (ie. not a raw cheesecake). Try this one too during mango season.
I wanted a tangier version that's easy to make all year round.
2 cups nuts (I use whatever I have, usually predominantly almonds)
½ cup of shredded or desiccated coconut
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 tablespoon maple syrup
100g of butter, melted
1 ½ tablespoons gelatin
¼ cup water
50g cacao butter, broken into pieces (so it'll melt easier)
½ cup coconut milk/cream
500g cream cheese
¼ cup rice malt syrup (a little more if you like it sweeter, taste test as you go)
Zest and juice of 3 lemons (this makes it super lemony which is exactly how I like it – if you prefer a more subtle flavour, start with 2 lemons and taste test)
Lightly grease a 22-23cm springform tin with butter.
Blitz all the dry base ingredients in a food processor until you have a fine crumb, then add the melted butter and maple syrup and blitz again until well combined. Press into the bottom of your tin and pop in the freezer.
Now for the filling. Combine the water and gelatin in a bowl stirring until it starts to turn rubbery, then leave aside for a few minutes.
Start melting the cacao butter in a pan over a low heat. Once it starts to melt, add in the coconut milk/cream and stir until all the cacao butter is melted.
Roughly break the rubbery gelatin into small pieces and stir through the cacao/coconut liquid until it is all dissolved with no gelatin lumps. Then set this mixture aside to cool.
When it's almost at room temperature, pop it in your food processor along with the cream cheese, rice malt syrup, lemon juice and zest and blend until you have a lovely smooth mixture to pour on top of your base.
Then place the cheesecake in the fridge (not freezer) for at least three hours to set.
Decorate however you like… berries, pomegranates, grapes, edible flowers, passionfruit pulp.
Ta daaaa.
Hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

You can get involved in the Australian political system in lots of ways Paige! You could write to or email members of parliament, or sign a petition. Parliamentary committees encourage people to give their opinion on bills—proposed laws—and issues of importance to Australians. You could also attend a meeting or protest to let members of parliament know you are concerned about an issue.
If you are over 18, voting in federal elections means you can have a say in who represents you in the Australian Parliament.
For more information on these and other ideas of how to get involved in Parliament, check out this fact sheet.

Ever notice a modern professional bodybuilder's stomach? Do you think a man who looks 9 months pregnant with a six pack is attractive? No? Few do. The term 'GH gut" is thrown around allot but there is actually conflicting ideas as to how this phenomenon happens. Being a bodybuilder myself, I have woken up in a cold sweat many times after having nightmares of having this dreaded disfigurement.
The abs are the optical center of the human body. The smaller the waist the more impressive the rest of the physique. A prime example is the Men's Physique division. On stage and in photos they look amazing, but put them in a large T-shirt and they pretty much disappear into a crowd. You see, by having a tiny waist they look like their other muscles are big. Some of the national level guys and the pros look big in clothes, but the awesome aesthetics of the physique division comes from a tiny waist.
The Downfall of Bodybuilding Was Two Fold:
1) Women who took enough steroids to inadvertently give themselves a sex change
2) In the 90's when GH was abused creating the 'GH gut' look
These two things took bodybuilding off TV and made it an underground sport, which is now super popular again thanks to the Bikini and Men's Physique divisions. Both of these division's defining feature is a tiny waist, thus amplifying the hourglass and X-frames respectively.
I, like many other bodybuilders, would love to have a tiny midsection but have everything else huge, shredded, and vascular. But if it's GH which blows your gut out, and its GH which makes you insanely shredded, how do you get both? GHRP-6, thats how.
GHRP-6 stands for Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide 6. It binds to a different receptor on the pituitary than Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH). It actually binds to the Ghrelin receptor and causes the pituitary to release natural GH. Other functions of GHRP-6: directly enhances the release of GHRH, and suppression of somatostatin. Somatostatin inhibits GH.
GHRP-6 is better than simply injecting GH for a number of reasons:
1) The injected or EXOGENOUS GH isn't the same and doesn't work the exact same as natural GH.
2) Exogenous GH injections cause an increase in IGF-1. This is the best thing since sliced bread INSIDE muscle tissue, but it causes your spleen and intestines and other organs to grow if its just circulating in your bloodstream. Permanently. So you eventually look pregnant. Only instead of a bun in the oven its oversized organs. GHRP-6 sparks a release of your natural GH and that is cleared quickly so IGF-1 is released but not nearly as much.
3) GHRP-6 won't suppress your natural GH secretion like exogenous GH will. So you can choose to stop if you want and you don't have to worry about not making your own GH anymore.
4) Way, way cheaper
5) Functions like a GH post cycle therapy if need be. After you stop using exogenous GH, switch to GHRP-6 and turn your natural GH back on.
To get the healing properties use about 100-150 mcg a day. To build muscle 500mcg post workout to get the most out of the natural post workout GH release. Data exists that carbs inhibit the GH release even when using GHRP-6, but injectable insulin amplifies the response. If you do choose to stack insulin with GHRP-6, and I wouldn't if I were you, then its critical that you load up on fat free food. The insulin would be a bad choice to have before a meal with fat as it would store the fat as body fat. And you could go hypoglycemic since you need to have carbs in your blood ASAP after injecting insulin. A moderate approach would be somewhere between the two extremes, I myself would start with 200 mcg a day and titrate up for tolerance.
Side Effects
The main side effect with GHRP-6 is the appitite increase. Low dose (100mcg) does not create this problem but high dose (500mcg) does. This may be the primary way you put weight on with the high dose, purely its ability to bind to the ghrelin receptor. Ironic that a drug you take to NOT LOOK pregnant results in you eating like you ARE pregnant. Additionally, Jail time. GHRP-6 along with GH are illegal without a prescription. Insulin is a grey area, It is legal to buy without a script but it is the most dangerous thing mentioned above. Way more than any steroid or other prescription drug. Insulin use is for the serious athlete who is prepared to die. If your life means more to you than having superhuman muscles then don't use it.
To get around this legal issue LG Sciences has an herbal supplements that mimic GHRP-6. Ghenerate is a sublingual spray that is as effective as other GHRPs. I also included an herbal GHRP analog in my Wyked 2.1 pre workout drink.

I am a craft-a-holic….yep it's true, although I haven't found a 12 step program for it. I am not sure I'd care to change either. I find sewing, knitting, and crafting to be soothing, calming, and therapeutic. I really enjoy using the skills my grandma taught me too! I love sitting down with my kids and creating fun projects together (and for them). We have a junk closet…..much like a junk drawer but bigger, and it certainly needed to be revived with life. Because I do so many projects at once I thought it might be a good idea to get all my craftiness supplies in one central location rather than strewed about the house. Want to know how I turned my closet into this lovely thing? Well, then read on…
Like I said, I started with quite a junky looking mess. It was actually embarrassing for me to take a photo of it to share but I am doing it for the greater good. (tee hee hee) Here is what I started with. A heaped pile of disorganization! Oy that is so sad looking and completely NOT functional.
The first thing I did was take every single thing out and sorted the items into piles. I decided what needed to stay and what needed to go. Once I had an empty closet to work with I felt like the fun was about to begin.
I reserved my top shelf for items I didn't want my kids to be able to reach without my assistance. I used two old soup cans for storing markers and brushes. I covered the cans with pretty card stock paper and added a little label to complete the look. For storage of my paints I used an old Goldfish Cracker carton. I used my handy box cutter and carefully cut the top off of the box. I covered the box with coordinating paper and labeled it as well.
The next shelf was my biggest cost. Are you ready? $3.22! Yep you read that right! I purchased 3 pink baskets in the dollar area at Target to store my scissors, elastic, and needles. I used two clear glass cookie jars for my thread and rick rack storage containers.
The next shelf took me the longest. Because I have 4 children I had ample supplies of diaper boxes and wipe boxes. They were sitting in a pile waiting to be broken down for recycling. Instead of purchasing expensive core board (like I had originally planned) I got out my box cutter again and started to cut the boxes into rectangle pieces. I took the rectangles and wrapped my fabrics onto the boards. I then arranged my material by color so I could easily see what it was that I had available to me. I am loving the way it turned out!
Next came my shelf for my machines. I reserved this shelf for them because they are at the perfect height for lifting. These machines are not only bulky they're heavy so I wanted to make it easy for me to grab. I put my serger and sewing machine next to each other along with two clear plastic tubs with machine parts and the pedals. Just below that shelf I filled that space with all my pretty ribbons and other "crafty" supplies. I had these plastic tubs already so this was something I didn't need to purchase.
Last but not least my floor of the closet was reserved for two plastic storage containers I have had since my college dorm years. I used to keep socks and underwear in them. I used one for my yarn storage and the other to keep all my patterns (and my grandma's) neat and organized.
So there you have it…my perfectly organized craft closet for a grand total of $3.22!!!!! I am so in love with the way it turned out. Let me know what you think and if I have inspired you as well!

"I'll always come for you. I'll always find you." -Shelly Crane, Significance
Okay, so I'm going to give you a little bit of a heads-up. If you don't like sugary sweet romances with The One in it, don't bother trying this book. You probably won't even make it through half of the book. But on the other hand for those who are all about the sugary sweet and soul mates with a little bit of mystical things thrown in then this is the book for you. Even if you only indulge in sugary sweet every once in a while, I recommend you give this book a read.
Now that that's out of the way let me explain a bit about the book. It's the first of the Significance series and tells the story of Maggie Masters, who's down on her luck. Her mother left, her father is pretty much absent and her boyfriend broke up with her at the beginning of her senior year. But something magical happens when she finds herself walking around town.She saves a boy's life. Little does she know that she will imprint with him as he is her soul mate. Maggie is soon thrown into the world of Aces, humans with a little extra ability that compliments their partners. But their are some people who are not happy with the new imprint and would do anything to destroy the bond....however far they must go to do so.
I found this book because it was free on kobo.com, and who doesn't love a free book? Not to mention it actually sounded like something I would like to read. I soon became obsessed with this series, loving the soul mate bond and the Aces. This really appealed to the inner romantic in me and I found myself swooning....like a lot. It's got strong characters, well described and for the most part human in every way. Maggie is struggling with the hand she's been dealt but she's not allowing herself to be dragged down. Then she struggles to learn about the world she's been thrust into it, while attempting to keep from being injured or kidnapped. But whatever's thrown at her, she doesn't allow herself to give up and she never stops fighting. Even when she's doubting the bond that has developed between herself and Caleb, the main male character.
However there was one flaw that I noticed. That is that Caleb seems a bit too perfect. He's not trying to rush Maggie into anything and rarely pressures her or gets angry with her. He's trying to be the perfect son, and leader, not to mention the perfect male that he can be. While that's great to see, he almost succeeds too well. Other than that it's a magnificent book and start to a series.
Shelly Crane has created an impressive series that for those romantics is very sweet but isn't necessarily all about the sweetness of first love and soul mates. She also incorporates danger, anger of both friends and family, as well as numerous bad guys. For those romantics who are looking for something sweet to read, this is the book for you. Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments below!

Santa Ana Winds FC 2 – Real San José 0
From PRLog (prlog.org)
Santa Ana, CA–May 21, 2011–Winds FC is victorious once again with a sixth straight win on a very hot and sunny day in Downtown Santa Ana. Real San Jose FC arrived at Eddie West Field at Santa Ana Stadium with one thing in mind and that was to drive back with a win. Real San Jose took the field with a very aggressive formation but the tempo of the match was established by Santa Ana. The Winds charged numerous times with strikers forcing San Jose defenders to work extra hard to clear the ball.
Mike Piechota broke the defense with a perfectly assisted ball to his twin brother Greg Piechota taking on the Real San Jose's goalkeeper doing his best to stop a powerful ground shot on the 7th minute to unlock the score in favor of Santa Ana. Soon after the goal the Winds felt the heat of the sun this being their first time playing a match at 12:00 noon. The visitors from the North took advantage of this gap in the Winds concentration to finally create some ball movement of their own and with a nicely fed ball to San Jose striker George Mayer taking on Winds goalkeeper Juan Rodriguez that stood up to the challenge deflecting a laser ground shot with his leg to send the ball for a corner kick.
Coach Raul Ruiz said, "Our team took the field very determined to take the win but the heat was truly a factor this being the first time our team was exposed to the elements. The players took the foot off the pedal giving San Jose the advantage for a few minutes." The second half saw some changes for both teams. One of them was on Santa Ana's goal sending Tony Flores to guard the Winds's lead. With the addition of midfielder Carlos Godinez, the Winds seemed to have more depth and ball movement. The 62nd minute finally saw the score move again with a perfect ball assisted by Carlos godinez to Adan Coronado on the left flank who put the Winds ahead 2-0 with a powerful left-footed shot. Santa Ana Winds FC travels for the first time this season to the Bay area to pay a visit to the Bay Area Ambassadors on Saturday, May 28th.

I don't usually reblog, but making an exception for the very first blog post of the ACORN from SCBWI California North/Central Region.
If you couldn't make it to Spring Spirit this year you missed a lot—like Bruce Hale singing to us (really). Or maybe you were there but missed a few sessions because you couldn't be in two or three places at once. (And if you CAN be in two or three places at once, call me, I have questions.) Anyway, don't fret! We've got you covered. Our volunteers have written lots of summaries for your notes, or to give you a few more reasons to make sure you get there in 2017!

SBA business loans
There is no denying that small businesses and startups are the driving force of the country's economic growth. They generate lots of new jobs and pay the huge amount of money in taxes. However, small businesses often face financial burdens, and thus take on crippling debts they can't get out of. To avoid traps of that kind, entrepreneurs may want to make use of an SBA loan program. Even though some find it too challenging to qualify for, it is still considered to be one of the best options for additional funding.
SBA stands for Small Business Administration, a government agency in the U.S. that aims at supporting small businesses. It provides a myriad of loan programs of up to $5 million, depending on what you need the money for. On the whole, these funds can be used for day-to-day commercial operations, expansion, equipment investments, debt refinancing, and even real estate purchases. Regardless of the intended purposes, Small Business Administration loans are known for their low interest rates and favorable repayment terms.
Capital for Business is your reliable SBA loan lender
If you are looking to apply for an SBA loan for business, Capital for Business is the company you need. We are an authorized lender of these loans and have everything it takes to encourage your company's growth. When teamed up with us, you will be offered an opportunity to dramatically contribute to the success of your business – be it an auto repair shop, restaurant, or grocery store.
What sets Capital for Business apart from high-street banks and other lenders is that we realize how important it is to get extra funding as soon as possible. That is why we channel our efforts into facilitating both the application and the approval of SBA business loans. With us, you no longer need to deal with mountains of paperwork and wait for months. We make everything easier to prevent bureaucracy from gumming up the issuance process.
As a borrower, you will also benefit from:
- highest loan amounts;
- lowest APRs;
- long repayment periods of up to 10 years;
- lots of available loan types;
- 3-step application procedure allowing you to receive funds in a matter of days.
Types of SBA loans for business
There are many loan programs offered by the Small Business Administration through authorized lenders. The most common of them are:
- 7(a) loan program providing funds for working capital;
- 504 loan for buying real estate or facilities;
- CAPlines program for lines of credit;
- Microloans which are suitable for amounts that do not exceed $50,000.
With all those loan types guaranteed by the SBA, business owners may have a hard time finding the one that perfectly meets their needs. If that is your case, you will be better off consulting your loan specialist at Capital for Business. We will help you choose the best option, taking into account your company's revenue and the intended purposes of financing.
Forget about banks and their month-long approval process. Here we provide SBA loans for existing business in less than no time!

JOHN GALLIANO won't attend this year's Met Ball. The designer will skip the annual Costume Institute Gala, despite several of his designs being featured in the accompanying Punk: Chaos To Couture exhibition.
The news was confirmed by his publicist, Liz Rosenberg, yesterday: "One step at a time," she told the New York Post. "And that's one huge mother f***ing staircase." It's not been confirmed as to whether any of his designs will be worn on the red carpet.
It was announced last night that Tommy Hilfiger will host a table at the event, with plans to outfit Zooey Deschanel, Lily Aldridge, Nicki Minaj and Debbie Harry for the punk-themed evening. Actress Brooklyn Decker will wear a custom-made Peter Pilotto dress and attend with husband Andy Roddick.
"Punk dressing all seems very fussy to me. It was a very planned, anti-establishment lifestyle. I'm more a dress-for-comfort girl. I make as little effort as possible so, no, I will not be spending an extra hour gelling my Mohawk and getting my black liner perfect," said Decker. "I didn't know much about punk music growing up as I was more of the horribly awesome boy band generation."

The Chevrolet Warriors on Wednesday completed a disappointing couple of days for the two South African franchises in the Champions League T20 when they joined the Cape Cobras on an early flight home from India. The Warriors were shown the door by English powerhouse Somerset Sabres in a match that was a lot closer than the 12 run margin suggests. The Nashua Mobile Cape Cobras suffered the same fate on Tuesday when they were defeated in their final Group A match by Trinidad & Tobago.
Ironically it was the two South Africans in the Somerset side that shone brightest today with Captain Alfonso Thomas leading by example with excellent match figures of 2-16 from his four overs, including a superb second spell which saw him pick up 2 wickets for 2 runs in the penultimate over of the match. All rounder Roelof van der Merwe was the other star for the Sabres as he smashed a whirlwind 32 from just 16 balls, dominating his second wicket partnership with Craig Kieswetter, who top scored with an unbeaten 56 from 52 balls.
Van der Merwe then came back to bowl the final over with the Warriors needing an unlikely 21 to win. The champion competitor conceded just 8, picking up a wicket too in the process.
Somerset appeared to have missed a trick with the bat as they posted just 146 on a pitch that appeared to be slowing down a tad. However, the batsmen who came after Van der Merwe struggled to accelerate with spin twins Nicky Boje and Johan Botha tying them up in a web. Their 8 overs conceded just 41 runs and appeared to have put the Warriors firmly in the driver's seat after Van der Merwe's early assault.
The Warriors looked in complete control of the game as they reached 71/1 at the halfway stage of the innings on the back of a second wicket partnership of 49 in 7.2 overs between Jon-Jon Smuts and Colin Ingram. But they both got out in quick succession and, on a slow and inconsistent pitch, it was difficult to get any momentum into the runs chase. The batsmen that followed struck just two boundaries and two sixes in the last 8 overs and were always going to struggle to make up the deficit.
The Sabres' opponents in the semi-final will be determined after the last team to make the final four is determined based on the outcome of the game between the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the South Australian Redbacks.
Somerset: Trego, Kieswetter, Van der Merwe, Hildreth, Butler, Compton, Suppiah, Thomas, Dibble, Kirby, Kartik
Warriors: J Smuts, Prince, Ingram, K Smuts, Botha, Thyssen, Boje, Parnell, Dyili, Theron, Tsotsobe.
Mini Scorecard:
Somerset 146/4 (20 overs, 7.3rpo)
C Kieswetter 56 (52) J Theron 1-23
R van der Merwe 32 (16) J Smuts 1-31
Warriors 134/8 (20 overs, 6.7rpo)
J Smuts 38 (39) A Thomas 2-16
C Ingram 31 (25) M Kartik 2-23
Somerset win by 12 runs

Say goodbye to July, everyone! Next time we see Emmerdale it will be August(Ok…a little bit of July)! Eek! Anyway, let's see what this Friday episode brings us!
Rhona's Crew
Everything is fine. EVERYTHING IS FINE.
*Pulls out Bubble Wrap and a shot*
GUILTY!?!?! I didn't see that coming! YES! Rhona! You won!
What is his sentence?!? (oh no. It won't be good enough.)
FIVE YEARS! Something seems off. I can't…its too easy. Too easy. Something is coming.
Lisa! *BIG HUGS*
Anyone seen Martha in awhile? Here she is.
Alright. This wrapped up way too easy. WAY TOO EASY. Something is up, and something is coming.
Paddy and Rhona *heart eyes*

CHRISSIE. THAT IS YOUR UNCLE. *what are you…a Dingle?*
STOP FLIRTING. It's creeping me out. OH MY GOD. NO KISSING. NO KISSING.
We all want to erase that almost kiss from our memories.
The Café Crew
Well, that storyline is over. Ok then. Harriet being stabbed was for nothing. Awesome. *shrugs*
Moira! Moira is back everyone! Coira! We had a little mini Coira! *rejoice*
Bob and Laurel are on the case! Bob is reluctantly on the case. *HA*
LAUREL! That's my girl. She is on the case.
Pub Crew
So, I guess Robert and Rebecca are having lunch. I knew this was supposed to happen so just got to be zen about it. They do have a child on the way. Have to be nice to each other.
Hey, Adam…did Victoria stop you from seeing Vanessa? No? SHUT UP. As much as we all hate it, Robert has the right to talk to Rebecca. Bleh. Let guess. Adam will run to Aaron and say Robert was having lunch with her. Is that a crime now? Well, I guess if you are Adam it is. Also, Rebecca is the only one that will give Robert the time of day. IT SUCKS.
You know. Aaron told Robert to get involved. Robert didn't because he didn't want to hurt Aaron. However, that is his kid. How could he not be interested in it? (Look I sound like Rebecca calling the child 'it'). Now that he is going to go all in for the kid's sake…he is evil? FUCK OFF. Robert isn't a mind reader. He may know Aaron the best, but he can't read his mind. Again…COMMUNICATION. BOTH OF THESE IDIOTS. I swear.
God. Adam is on his own personal asshole tour today. Adam…don't you have a marriage to save? I swear. BUTT THE HELL OUT OF IT.
Look at how excited he was to hear about Aaron coming home! *aww…this is going to hurt*
More Coira! YES. KEEP IT COMING SHOW.
"Harriet thinks she sold her soul to the devil!" "I did once." – *SIGH* MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME IS PLAYING OVER THIS SCENE. COIRA LIVES.
Laurel and Bob: Detectives! *theme song plays*
'It's Only Speculation!'
What do you think? Tell me below or shoot over a tweet @AmandaJ718!
As usual, ignore the message boards. Be good to each other. Breathe. Reboot. Eat a Snickers.
Until next time, see you around in Emmerdale!

Matthew 19:13–15 (ESV)
Let the Children Come to Me
13 Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people, 14 but Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me and do
not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven." 15 And he laid his hands on them and went away.
of the most important task of a parent is to raise their child in the faith. Many parents today are not taking their kids to church or raising them in the faith. These parents are choosing to lead their children away from God, even if they don't
mean too. This will or could be passed down to grandchildren, great grandchildren, and so on… The Lutheran Study Bible states: Jesus welcomes children and makes it clear that they, too, have a place in the Kingdom. For a variety of
reasons—some unavoidable and others the result of selfishness—many children today are not nurtured as they ought to be. Because of His special love for children, Jesus not only allows children into His kingdom, but He also gives them pride of place!
I pray: O Lord, Give us childlike simplicity, so that we not only love
little ones as ourselves but also please You through our humility like that of a child. Amen.
Edward A. Engelbrecht, The
Lutheran Study Bible (St. Louis, MO: Concordia Publishing House, 2009), 1623.
we are not coming tonight and we coming tomorrow bible study well you do Phillip a favorite look for my ESV BIBLE FOR ME Please pretty Please my Dear My Bros
HI this is I Frederick Demond Wilson. I hereby am solemnly here to forebare witnessing of His witness, our Creator.

Look at the Words say they "fell away". The had it, but lost it. Just like the Bible says your name can be blotted out of the Book of Life.

Today is the October 3rd, 2018 live broadcast of New Abolitionists Radio with hosts Max Parthas andScotty T Reid. http://
• Tonight, we're all Kanye West all day. We're hoping he calls into the program as we've sent quite a few invitations. Big Shout out to our listeners and supporters who went full twitter bomb.
Why are we talking about Kanye West? Because that brother has publicly announced himself as a slavery abolitionist. In one single tweet, he had millions of people all over the country talking about the 13TH amendment for the 1st time.
We watched like hawks and tonight we go deep into it all.
On and near this day in history.
• October 1st, 1962, James Meredith, an African American man, attempted to enroll at the all-white University of Mississippi. Chaos soon broke out on the Ole Miss campus, with riots ending in two dead, hundreds wounded and many others arrested, after the Kennedy administration called out some 31,000 National Guardsmen and other federal forces to enforce order.
• Nat Turner (October 2, 1800, to November 11, 1831) was an enslaved African American who became a Christian evangelical preacher and made history as the leader of one of the largest slave revolts in America on August 21, 1831.
Following the insurrection, Turner evaded capture for six weeks, but he was eventually caught and later brutally lynched. The incident ended the emancipation movement in that region and led to even harsher laws against enslaved African Americans. While Turner became an icon of the 1960s black power movement, others have hypocritically criticized him for using violence as a means of demanding change while at the same time extolling the virtues of the American revolution.
In direct action news.
• The RIGHT 2 VOTE CAMPAIGN
Needs your support. It is a nationwide campaign being initiated by people currently confined in the United States. This campaign grew out of the August 21 National Prison Strike Demands, specifically, point #10: The voting rights of all confined citizens serving prison sentences, pretrial detainees, and so-called "ex-felons" must be counted. Representation is demanded.
• Then also, remember to Vote Amendment A in Colorado to remove the exception clause to slavery from the state constitution.
• In honor of his birthday, Our Abolitionists in profile tonight is Nat Turner.
• Our Rider of the 21st-century Underground Railroad today is Alice Marie Johnson, a first-time nonviolent drug offender whose life sentence was commuted after 21 years in prison. Johnson was convicted in 1996 of conspiracy to possess cocaine and attempted possession of cocaine and spent a third of her life in prison. Thanks to the lobbying efforts of Kim Kardashian, Alice's sentence was commuted and she was freed in June of 2018.

New Abolitionists Radio is an award-winning weekly radio broadcast and podcast series started in 2012 to bring awareness to legalized slavery and human trafficking in the United States which is inadequately referred to as "mass incarceration".
The 13th Amendment of the US Consitution did end slavery when it carves out the exception clause that led directly to Jim Crow laws across the country, primarily in the South to target the large African-American populations the vast majority who were formerly enslaved and put them into what became known as the convict leasing system which is still in practice in less barbaric ways than in the 1800s. Because of the 13th Amendment, all persons of every age, sex, gender, race, religion or national origin can legally become of slaves regardless of guilt or innocence.

There are a hundred different reasons consumers take the drastic step of declaring bankruptcy: spiraling personal debt, the long-term impacts of a job loss or divorce, or even just to get a fresh start after years of financial issues.
While bankruptcy can help put some distance between you and the ghosts of your financial past, the impact on your credit score (and credit history) isn't always as cut and dry as some consumers may believe.
A bankruptcy discharge — which legally releases debtors from debt incurred before filing bankruptcy with the court — does not always result in a complete reset and restart of your credit history. That involves some dedicated work to help build new credit after bankruptcy.
The Seven-Year Itch
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing may remain on your credit history for 10 years, while a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing may be listed on your credit history and credit reports for seven years.
Ongoing financial responsibilities such as credit cards balances, medical bills or other debts specifically covered by the discharge will likely report as "included in bankruptcy." However, any associated history of late payments, heavy utilization or simply having too many active cards and accounts can remain on your account.
Items included in bankruptcy that were associated with the discharge will likely continue to appear on your credit report for up to seven years from the initial date of delinquency.
As a result, creditors won't necessarily see that your financial history has been "wiped clean" overnight. Despite what you may hope, a bankruptcy filing will not mean an automatic increase in your credit score, if debt has dragged you down in the past.
Lasting Effects of Bankruptcy
Your full credit history will be a factor in any creditor's decision to offer you a new credit card, a line of credit, or a car loan. A public record of bankruptcy, even one that is fully discharged, can catch the eye if you're applying to lease an apartment or even putting in a job application, both of which often require credit reports as part of a background check.
Keep in mind that bankruptcy will not release you from all debt obligations. Student loans, back taxes and alimony/child support, which cannot be discharged in bankruptcy, will continue to be a consideration in your credit report.
But, there is hope. Anything you do in your post-bankruptcy future will help rebuild your credit score. Over time, bankruptcy records shown on your credit report will become less and less important. Many creditors are willing to give post-bankruptcy consumers a second chance with a new credit card (often a secured card), though chances are you'll be paying a higher interest rate or be given less access to credit until your credit score increases.
Don't wait until it's too late. Seek out professional credit repair before the lasting effects of bankruptcy loom over your finances. You can also carry on the conversation on our social media platforms. Like and follow us on Facebook and leave us a tweet on Twitter.

Diablo 3 exploit makes wizards invulnerable
Accio loot!
A Diablo 3 exploit has been found that turns wizards invulnerable.
It involves using the Teleport and Archon skills, a poster on the Blizzard forum explained (via Kotaku).
- Step 1: Select Teleport - Fracture. Bind it to a key
- Step 2: Select Archon, tested with Improved Archon
- Step 3: Hover your mouse over or near your charcter
- Step 4: Press Teleport
- Step 5: QUICKLY(!) Press Archon
The bug was unearthed yesterday. Blizzard hasn't reacted.
The result? Hours of worry-free Hardcore farming. How Blizzard will counter the influx of ill-gotten spoils flooding the Real Money Auction House remains to be seen, but a hotfix for the exploit is surely not far away.

Since 2015, the CESNI Committee has regularly updated and published the European Standard laying down Technical Requirements for Inland Navigation vessels (ES-TRIN). This standard lays down the uniform technical requirements necessary to ensure the safety of inland navigation vessels. It is available in four languages (German, English, French, Dutch) and brings together in a standardised way the requirements previously contained in directive 2006/87/EC and in the Rhine vessel inspection regulations. It contains provisions on inland navigation vessel construction and equipment, special provisions for certain categories of vessels such as passenger and container vessels, provisions on the model of inland navigation vessel certificate as well as instructions on how to apply the technical standard.
References to ES-TRIN are now included in the legal frameworks of the EU and the CCNR (respectively directive (EU) 2016/1629 and Rhine vessel inspection regulations). The Danube Commission also decided in 2017 to recommend the standard in its international instruments and the International Sava River Basin Commission intends to create a reference to the standard in its legal framework. In other words, ES-TRIN has been established, with great effort, as the centrepiece and baseline for the technical requirements for inland navigation vessels in Europe and has contributed to the reinforcement of governance at the European level.
As a reminder, a vessel operating on EU waterways or Rhine must carry either a Union inland navigation certificate or a Rhine vessel inspection certificate. Both certificates are issued by the competent national authorities (inspection bodies) and confirm the full compliance of the vessel with the technical requirements (in particular ES-TRIN). Once again, the objective of these technical requirements is to guarantee a high level of safety in inland navigation, thereby also protecting the environment and the people on board.
ES-TRIN contains provisions on the approval of installations and equipment, as well as installation firms and technical services. Such approvals are the responsibility of the national authorities under the ES-TRIN and associated regulatory frameworks (i.e. Rhine vessel inspection regulations or directive (EU) 2016/1629).
CESNI launched the website listes.cesni.eu with the following objectives:
Furthermore, this website contains information for public consideration about the inspection bodies and competent authorities for technical requirements for inland navigation vessels.
The database estrin-faq.cesni.eu contains questions, comments and interpretations for which the Working group on technical requirements (CESNI/PT) has given a coordinated response or conclusion. This data results from the actual application of the technical requirements of the ES-TRIN (or earlier texts).
CESNI publishes explanatory notices to document the needs, alternatives and consequences associated with the amendment introduced by the new edition of ES-TRIN.
Amendments introduced by ES-TRIN 2017/1
Amendments introduced by ES-TRIN 2019/1
CESNI and EUROMOT have developed a FAQ document to help those involved with the inland waterways transport sector to understand and interpret the applicable requirements to engines in the light of the new requirements for non‐road mobile machinery (NRMM) as well as ES-TRIN.
EN FR DE NL (Edition March 2019)
CESNI has also produced a guide aiming to clarify the administrative procedure for the recognition and installation of marinised engines (NRE and Euro VI) in inland navigation vessels within the framework of Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 and the ES-TRIN.
To ease the implementation of ES-TRIN to traditional craft, CESNI has developed a guide to possible derogations from technical requirements.
Measurements and condition of the vessel's hull and hull equipment shall be subject of a report in accordance with the model "Hull Survey Report" or equivalent. This model provides the list of minimum data required for hull survey report and is not a mandatory format.
The CESNI Secretariat is regularly requested by the public for information on the procedure for derogations and equivalences from technical requirements. In order to ensure transparent and comprehensive information, considering both EU and CCNR legal frameworks, the CESNI decided to publish a leaflet on its website. The procedure described allows to gain experience with pilot projects (e.g. alternative fuels) and actively supports innovation and greening of the fleet.
The working languages of the European Committee for drawing up Standards in the field of Inland Navigation (CESNI) are Dutch, English, French and German. The authentic text of the European Standard laying down Technical Requirements for Inland Navigation vessels (ES-TRIN) is published in these languages on the CESNI website.

CESNI, and thereby the Central Commission for the Navigation of the Rhine (CCNR), is not liable for any direct or indirect damage resulting from possible inaccuracies, mistakes or faults of these unofficial translations.

Något om ekonomiprofessor Steve Keens förutsägelser om nästa finanskris
John Michael Greer om "technological regression"
"To most people paying attention to the collision between industrial society and the hard limits of a finite planet, it's clear that things are going very, very wrong. We no longer have unlimited time and resources to deal with the crises that define our future, and the options are limited to the tools we have on hand right now.
This book is about one very powerful option: deliberate technological regression.
Technological regression isn't about "going back" — it's about using the past as a resource to meet the needs of the present. It starts from the recognition that older technologies generally use fewer resources and cost less than modern equivalents, and it embraces the heresy of technological choice — our ability to choose or refuse the technologies pushed by corporate interests.
People are already ditching smartphones and going back to "dumb phones" and land lines and e-book sales are declining while printed books rebound. Clear signs among many that blind faith in progress is faltering and opening up the possibility that the best way forward may well involve going back."
Jag har uttryckt liknande tankar om att "gå tillbaka" här på bloggen (som här), men jag har då poängterat att vi inte ska kasta överbord allt det goda vi har lärt oss av civilisationen, utan behålla det. Jag tror Greer skulle hålla med om detta!

The End of the World As We Know It
I apologize for being so quiet the last month or so, but as the events in the Gulf of Mexico have unfolded I have found myself not only broken hearted but speechless as well. As the amount of oil that scientists estimate is spilling into the Gulf continues to grow larger, and the time it will take BP to stop it grows longer, the gut wrenching pictures of seabirds and turtles covered in oil have made me feel that perhaps everything we have been trying to do on our journey across America has been for naught.
With today's revised estimate of the spillage now up to 60,000 barrels a day, it is possible that well over 100 million gallons of oil have already poured into the Gulf and the end is nowhere in sight. BP has said that they will soon be able to capture up to 28,000 barrels of oil per day, that is still less than half of the current estimate, but over 5 times as much oil as BP has admitted is destroying these precious waters. Barring some kind of miracle, or perhaps the use of nuclear weapons, oil will continue to flow until at least late August, and at the current rate at least 300, maybe 400 million gallons or more will soon be mixed with the clear blue waters in the Gulf and things there will never, ever be the same.
Whether you believe in Peak Oil (for more info click here) or not, there is virtually no one on this planet that doesn't understand that sooner or later we will begin to run out of oil, and long before that day we will begin to run short of oil. While very few seem willing to admit it to themselves or say it out loud, the fact that we are drilling for oil over a mile beneath the sea, and over three miles below that to reach the oil, and stripping the forests of Canada bare to expose the oil sands so that we may continue our unsustainable and unjustifiable use of this finite resource shows just how desperate we already are.
The oil we squeeze from the sands requires more energy to produce than it generates. This is like putting $1.00 into your bank account and getting $.75 back. Not only would that be foolish, sooner or later you would run out of money. Many of the offshore wells like Deepwater Horizon will eventually produce oil that is much more expensive than the current price of oil will support. The oil companies know this, but they also know that sooner or later, the price of oil will rise to meet the dynamics of supply and demand and they are simply hedging their bets by drilling these wells in advance with the profits from some of the easy money wells around the world.
The worst part of all this is that our entire way of life, and all of our economies the world over, have since the first commercial oil well was drilled in 1859, become completely dependant on oil. Nearly everything we use as a modern society, from the obvious like the cars we drive and the gas and electricity that heats and lights our homes, to the less obvious like clothing, paints, medicines, cosmetics (for an astounding and more complete list click here ) is made from oil. More importantly nearly our entire food supply is dependent on the use of petrochemicals in every phase of its production from seed to market. In fact, the overpopulation of our planet today, is a direct result of the availability of cheap oil and resulting abundance of food that can then be transported over large distances. Just think about it, in 1859 a mere 150 years ago, virtually nothing on this planet was made from petroleum based oil. There was a large industry in whale oil, but the number of products made from that oil was relatively small, and by 1859, the world's whale population was already declining from the uncontrolled slaughter of these magnificent creatures for commercial use. "Peak Whale" was reached in the mid-19th century, and just like Peak Oil, it eventually spelled the end of the industry. But we are talking about a time when the worldwide population was fairly stable at about 750 million souls. With the advent of chemical fertilizers and other dramatic changes made possible by the discovery of petroleum, the world's population has skyrocketed to over 6.5 Billion in that same 150 years,
Can we sustain our current population without petroleum? The answer is a resounding NO and the evidence suggests that with the end of cheap oil, the population of this planet will again need to be reduced to the more sustainable number of 750 million or less (for more info click here). That means that unless we do something to change it, in the not too distant future whether through famine, war, or other manmade and natural disasters, about 6 billion of us will eventually be weeded out. This will be nature's way of resetting the clock and dealing with an unsustainable population caused by the unsustainable availability of cheap oil. I believe it can happen to humans, it happens to other animal species all the time when they become overpopulated. The only thing that has both saved and doomed us so far is the readily available supply of oil.
While every prophet, cult or religion that has ever predicted the "end of the world" have so far been wrong, I believe with certainty that what we are seeing now, and what we will be experiencing in the decades to come truly is "the end of the world as we know it". That it would seem is not that hard to predict. Drilling deeper and deeper and turning the sands beneath our forests into garbage bags and lipstick will only prolong the agony. Unless we develop, and develop rather quickly new ways or rediscover old ways to do almost everything we do, we will eventually run out of both oil and time. The "tipping point" is coming. The prospect of the Gulf oil spill affecting not only the Gulf, but the global food chain and weather patterns is very real and we won't know what has happened until the damage is done and it is already too late. This is the wake up call that we cannot afford to ignore, and yet I fear that most of us will simply roll over and hit the snooze button.

I only wish there were more messages like your's or more people to follow your blog and story, and understand that we need to change our expectations, and outlook on what life really is.ReplyDelete
Thanks Don, That has been our message since the beginning. To change the world, we must first change our lives!ReplyDelete
Well, if the spill didn't leave me speechless ... your post certainly did.ReplyDelete
May my heart bleed with yours?
Thanks John Byfield, for an inspiring post and one that is regenerative to the pure, human spirit and soul buried within us by the adulterations, and arrogant enterprises of civilization.ReplyDelete

Filed under: Chapter Next, Reflections of a Black Girl
Music: Going On // Gnarles Barkley
I needed some time to think and get my shit together. To really decide what I am doing and how it compliments the bigger picture. Even now I'm sitting here at the computer wondering whether or not to push things harder than I have, or to stay on the same course and speed throughout the next year. I'm afraid the latter isn't in my blood. Something that became painfully evident this year when I made the ultimate decision to go back to school to learn the mechanics behind my craft. I don't think I've ever worked this hard toward something to be honest with you. For the majority of my life ish came easy. I always seemed to get by and attain what I wanted without much effort, like I had a personal Angel making moves on my behalf or something. So you could imagine the tantrums and fits I threw this year for pushing myself to levels I hadn't danced on before. One of my homies said it best though. "This is a good thing because you're building resilience, strength, discipline…you think things are hard but they are not. You good." I concurred without mentioning that I'd been witnessing the cloud of fear dissipating before my eyes for months now. Proof that what he was saying was indeed correct.
As the cloud continued to dwindle to nothing I began to see and better understand the ultimate design and purpose for my life. And the more I see, the harder I rock. I said that 2008 was a year of change and it became so, and I said that 2009 would be our year to build, work and prepare. Those of you that ride strong with me are in some form or fashion building up yourselves. Which means that 2010 will usher in a year of heightened execution for you and I. All that we've practiced and perhaps even learned the hard way will come into play. Everything that we've worked on and prepared ourselves for will be put on the playing field and against the opposing side. Will you score? Yes, because we have spent time building as we should. I personally did a lot of cleaning out, cleaning up and moving on to make room for an even more victorious year that's almost here…and that's definitely a good thing.

Your post really resonated within me…because i too was dealing with that bad SPIRIT of fear. Spirits can be shooed away, prayed or just simply executed by your strength. I'm so glad i conquered the fear of yesterday, so i can go on to do what's necessary for my future. Girl its all abt growth and you got it…I'm an avid fan of your blog, but am always to afraid to leave a comment. See, I conquered that fear today!
Peace and blessings
Thanks for explaining my thoughts exactly. Clean, move, and make room is the motto for 2010.
thanx for the ispiration, i think am in the same state, where i gotta learn how to dela with fear and stand up for myslef and for what i believe in,
definitely, clean up, move on and make room is the motto for 2010, God be with us,
for me 2009 was the year of growth, learning what is good or not good for me, learning to soround myself with people who are positive thinking and truly loving and inspirational, excluding myslef from those who intentionally hurt you, control you for their own benefit and taking everything they can take from you. in 2010, all that has to change, am gonna take my own control and dish out all that is harmful and hurting. Thank you so much , for bringing an inspiration. God bless you black gal.
your fellow black girl
glad everything is falling into place, i too have just been floating on luck and some angel has been guiding me along the way, but its nice to hear that you can take control and guide yourself in the direction you want to go.
