Investors' Adventure: Yield
Pitfalls Abound as Investors Look in Far-flung Places; Math Adds Another Risk
Amid the swings in financial markets in 2012, one major force drove investors. And it is likely to intensify in 2013: the search for yield.
While the fixation of investors has been on budget wrangling in Washington, generating a decent return with interest rates at rock-bottom levels is a constant concern.

Landscape Question
I am planning on landscaping my front yard and IÂm having trouble deciding on some of the plants. I am putting in two long raised beds in front of the fence, the one in back will be a foot and a half taller and twice as wide as the one in front. The exposure is mostly 6-7 hours of sun, but one end gets only 3-6 hours. I am putting in a hedge of Heavenly Bamboo in the very back, it should do well in both sun and shade. In front of that I want to put a row of Rose bushes in the tall bed and a row of Tree Roses in the short bed, the colors will be mostly yellows with some red and pink blends.
Where it is too shady for roses I need some sort of substitute that will follow the same color scheme and have a similar form. I need 2 Rose Bush subs and 3 Tree Rose subs, I am considering Clove Currants for the bush subs because although they wonÂt be as showy as the roses they have yellow fragrant flowers and I like edible landscaping. The Tree Rose subs are harder, I thought about Camellias but I already have 4 of those and they are way bigger than tree roses. Maybe a single, small Japanese Maple would be good, but I donÂt want all three to be maples because IÂd like the other two to bloom.
Suggestions please?
Hmmmm ... What you are asking doesn't really fit easily into a particular forum. Landscape Design deals, as some one put it recently, with everything from the street to the foundation. It would, for instance, be more about how these beds function in relationship to the house, drive, other hardscape, other beds & plants, etc.
Since you are specifically asking for substitute plants for roses, maybe the rose forum could offer some suggestions. I believe there are even a few roses that can handle less sun. Anyway, they would be the gardeners with the most experience in rose presentation and choices.
Since you indicate zone 9b, you might also try the California forum, or Florida, or wherever it is that puts you in zone 9. Many of us with LZS (Lower Zone Syndrome) are simply unfamiliar with what might or might not work for you.
I'm not asking the design questions that come to mind from your situation, as it sounds like you have already made your design choices and are now only looking for the right substitutes to finish what you've already "designed".
Roses scare me, although I love them, so I hope you get the result you are after ...

Politicized DOJ Decides To Pick And Choose Which Federal Laws To Enforce On Marijuana
I've written before and I'll write again that I don't have a problem with marijuana usage, since it is really not a bad drug, and is much less dangerous than alcohol. However, it is still considered a Schedule I drug, illegal under federal law, which deems it to have no medicinal purposes. That last part could be up for debate, yet, it's federal law. And once again the Obama/Holder Department of Justice has decided that justice isn't blind and equal
(The Hill) The federal government on Thursday released new guidelines for federal prosecution of marijuana violations that mark a retreat from the aggressive guidelines of the past.
Instead of targeting individual recreational users, federal prosecutors are being told to prioritize goals like keeping marijuana from being sold to minors and preventing marijuana sales from funding criminal operations.
The thing is, most prosecutions aren't done by federal prosecutors, but by state and local ones. So, what is really going on?
The new standards are most beneficial to marijuana users in Washington and Colorado, the two states where recreational marijuana use was legalized by ballot initiative in 2012.
Attorney General Eric Holder notified governors of the two states that, for the time being, the Justice Department would not take action to have the laws overturned.
The move should also relieve federal pressure on medical marijuana dispensaries in 22 states, many of which have been faced prosecution in recent years.
So, Holder has told the States that he refuses to enforce federal law on marijuana, which has been usurped by these states allowing medical and/or recreational usage (discussing State's rights is a different discussion), in violation of his oath. We've seen this before, in terms of Team Obama refusing to enforce DOMA and a few other laws. Yet, the same DOJ has sued Arizona and others over crackdowns, which often mimic federal law, on illegal aliens. Also, suing over voter ID, which is not against federal law. In Obama's America justice is applied haphazardously, with an eye towards politics. Lady Justice weeps.

Yucca Seeds
My Yucca plants have bloomed for the first time since I planted them 3 yrs ago. Now that the flowers have finished there are what appears to be giant pods on the stalks. I wanted to include the seeds from these in a seed swap, but I want to be sure that I harvest them correctly, or if this is even viable?
Hi Carol,
Wait until the pods dry, i.e turn tan color. They will split on their own and expose rows of thin black seeds. It may be a good idea to wrap each pod with a square of nylon to prevent bugs from tunneling through the pods and the rows of seeds. I don't know if this will work, but it's worth a try.
Good luck
I love Yucca too, especially the bluish green with curly threads and the green and yellow stripes.
Here is a link that might be useful: Yucca seeds

I have a friend who speaks professionally. She has been using Facebook ads to increase the number of fans on her business page. Apparently, that's what event planners and speaker sites want to see, a large following. In years gone by, there was a trend on Facebook called "Fan Page Friday." You would post a link to your business page and everyone would like it. It was an artificial way to increase your page likes, but is that really a good strategy.

Fox News host Keith Ablow continued his attacks on First Lady Michelle Obama's weight, suggesting the first lady is a hypocrite on nutrition standards because photographs he claims to have seen prove, in Ablow's mind, that Obama has "struggled with her own weight" while in the White House.
Ablow was widely criticized after he dismissed the first lady's school nutrition efforts on the August 12 edition of Fox's Outnumbered, because he determined "she needs to drop a few" pounds. His comments engendered a widespread backlash, including from his own Fox colleagues. Ablow went on to defend his comments the next day to Politico, saying he was "not taking food advice from an American who dislikes America" and "has not been consistently a picture of fitness."
On the August 21 edition of Outnumbered, Ablow doubled down on his offensive comments, citing unspecified "images online" as proof of Michelle Obama's personal hypocrisy on fitness:
ABLOW: Well, listen, first, let's provide some context. The context was to remind people the draconian standards set by the first lady in her school lunch program, such that children are throwing their school lunches away. They're inedible. They won't eat them. And what I was reacting to was the hypocrisy. Let me phrase it slightly differently. For someone who has struggled with her own weight, which I think she would agree with -who has struggled so many of us have -- for someone like that to say we're going to set draconian standards and dial everything so far down thatit's inedible.
FAULKNER: How do you know she struggled with her weight?
ABLOW: Well, okay, because I know from the images online that she has struggled with her weight or chosen -- or chosen to be much heavier than at other points in the administration. Maybe she's chosen it. You're saying how do I know she's struggled. Maybe she didn't struggle. Maybe she chose to be a larger woman for some --
Fox News medical contributor Keith Ablow wrote that there is something wrong in the minds of Ferguson residents who reacted to the shooting death of 18 year-old Michael Brown by a police officer with protests.
In an August 20 opinion piece posted on FoxNews.com, Ablow opined that the psyche of Ferguson needs to be investigated following the unrest that erupted after Brown's killing. Ablow suggested that the community's reactions were racially motivated; accusing the residents of presuming "the moral depravity of whites," which they would not have done if the teen was raped or killed by a black police officer:
The psychology of those who rioted and committed other lawless acts in Ferguson is as suspect at this moment as the psychology of Darren Wilson, because their psychology presumes the moral depravity of whites - at least those in authority.
If a black officer had shot and killed Michael Brown, chances are there would be no protests at all. Perhaps there would be a civil suit. Perhaps there would be criminal charges against the officer involved. But there would be no unrest.
When a woman is raped even if by a police officer, the community does not erupt in violence, with throngs of women breaking windows and threatening to storm the police command station.
Whether or not Officer Darren Wilson is guilty of anything, something is deeply wrong with the psyche of the community in Ferguson, Mo. And understanding and addressing that pathology should be the first order of business of community leaders - even as the work of investigating the Michael Brown shooting is unfolding.
Community leaders and residents in Ferguson have worked to keep demonstrations peaceful, and media reports indicate that many of the people arrested for violence in Ferguson have come from outside the community to confront police. Some Ferguson residents have also worked to protect local businesses from looters.
Ablow continues to use his Fox News platform to make inflammatory claims and attack the Obama administration, most recently coming under fire for his comments calling Michelle Obama too fat to be a credible voice on school nutrition.
From the August 17 edition of CNN's Reliable Sources:

As first lady, Michelle Obama has campaigned against childhood obesity. In response, male right-wing media figures have launched personal attacks at her, culminating in Fox News host Keith Ablow declaring that Obama should "drop a few" pounds before commenting on nutrition.

Fox News host Keith Ablow defended his attack on First Lady Michelle Obama's weight, telling Politico that it was "hypocrisy" for her to act as a "role model" on diet when she "has not been consistently a picture of fitness."
Ablow came under fire for his comments on the August 12 edition of Fox's Outnumbered, where he argued that Michelle Obama is not a credible voice on school nutrition because "she needs to drop a few" pounds. Even one of Ablow's colleagues at Fox, Janice Dean, criticized his remarks, tweeting "please keep your comments about women 'dropping a few' to yourself."
Nevertheless the next day Ablow told Politico that he was "not taking food advice from an American who dislikes America" and "has not been consistently a picture of fitness":
"I do dislike hypocrisy and I really do believe that people speaking about diet should be role models themselves, and I'm not sure if the First Lady is that role model," Ablow said in an interview.
"I'm not taking food advice from an American who dislikes America, who in many photographs during her tenure as First Lady is obviously not fit, and who has a record of saying things that show that she's two-faced," Ablow said Wednesday. "This should be obvious, I don't know why it isn't."
Ablow is standing by his comments and saying that people "should be less sensitive about talking about [weight]."
One reason for his criticism, he says, relates to consistency.
"It happens to be the case that the First Lady during her tenure has not been consistently a picture of fitness," he said. "That's all, it is just a fact."
Michelle Obama has made fighting childhood obesity a cornerstone of her time in the White House, helping to put in place federal school lunch standards that emphasize healthy eating.
The audible gasps and groans seemed to come from every direction of the Outnumbered studio on Fox News yesterday when the rotating cast of four female hosts heard Fox contributor Dr. Keith Ablow deride First Lady Michelle Obama's weight.
Covering the well-beaten, right-wing media path of denouncing Obama's efforts to improve nutritional habits of American children via improved government standard for school lunches ("She's kind of annoying that way"), Ablow suddenly took the conversation down a bizarre path, even by Fox News standards: He dropped a cavalier, contemptuous and deeply sexist stink bomb by suggesting the First Lady should "drop a few" if she wanted to be a credible spokeswoman on nutrition: "How well could she be eating? She needs to drop a few. I'm telling you, let's be honest. We're taking nutrition advice from who?"
With both arms sprayed over the middle of Outnumbered's curved couch, a lounging Ablow suggested that because Barack Obama is skinny, he'd be willing to take nutritional advice from him, but not from his (fat) wife who's supposedly sneaking midnight snacks in the White House kitchen.
And with that, the room erupted.
"You did not say that," responded a stunned co-host Harris Faulkner after hearing the "lose a few" put-down. "Oh my goodness." Ablow's comment was so crass and debasing Faulkner wondered out loud if the show was "on a seven-second delay" so the weight-loss denigration could be bleeped before it reached the ears of viewers. (It was not.)
And that was the just the beginning. Responding to Ablow, co-host Kennedy quickly launched into an impression of a chauvinist pig (she gave him a thick Brooklyn accent): "Hey Michelle Obama, she needs to lose the junk in her trunk."
Faulkner again to Ablow: "Oh my goodness gracious."
Meanwhile, Kimberly Guilfoyle, sitting at the far end of the couch, simply shook her head, and when Sandra Smith tried to continue the nutrition conversation she admitted she was at a "loss of words" following Ablow's abject insult. Yes, Ablow unfurled his sexist, weight-based attack on a program hosted by four professional women.
Soon after, Fox News' senior meteorologist Janice Dean took to Twitter to brush Ablow back even further: "please keep your comments about women 'dropping a few' to yourself. Sincerely, all women."
UPDATE: Keith Ablow defended his remarks on August 13 in an interview with Politico, saying it was "hypocrisy" for Michelle Obama to act as a "role model" on diet when she "has not been consistently a picture of fitness."
A member of Fox News' "Medical A-Team" argued that Michelle Obama is not a credible voice on school nutrition because "she needs to drop a few" pounds.
First Lady Michelle Obama has made fighting childhood obesity a cornerstone of her time in the White House. Recently, she's faced backlash from conservatives seeking to put an end to one of Obama's victories: federal school lunch standards that emphasize healthy eating.
The hosts of Fox News' Outnumbered continued this fight on August 12, when Dr. Keith Ablow, a prominent member of the network's "Medical A-Team," claimed that Obama cannot be taken seriously on the issue of nutrition because she "needs to lose a few" pounds. Ablow's female co-hosts expressed surprise and quickly changed the subject.
KENNEDY: We don't need the federal government applying -- projecting -- these standards upon us. And Michelle Obama is so, like, the duchess when she speaks.
KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE: She's kind of annoying that way.
KENNEDY: She is.
ABLOW: And how well could she be eating? She needs to drop a few.
ABLOW: I'm telling you, let's be honest --
HARRIS FAULKNER: You did not say that --
ABLOW: We're taking nutrition advice from who? Who are we taking nutrition advice from?
The First Lady has long been the target of offensive personal attacks from the right, and Ablow is no stranger to sexist rhetoric himself, well-known for his anti-LGBT commentary and analysis that is often unsupported by the medical field at large.
Update: Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean later tweeted at Ablow, saying "please keep your comments about women 'dropping a few' to yourself. Sincerely, all women."
Dear @keithablow please keep your comments about women "dropping a few" to yourself. Sincerely, all women. #outnumbered

Following reports of an active shooter at a high school near Portland, Oregon, the hosts of Fox News' Outnumbered offered baseless predictions that mental health was to blame for the shooting, false characterizations of past school shootings, attacks on "anti-gun nuts," and calls for more guns in schools.
Many details about the shooting are still unknown or unconfirmed, although it has been confirmed that the incident has ended and the shooter and at least one victim are dead. Though Outnumbered co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle explained to viewers that the network was "awaiting breaking news details about the circumstances of exactly what happened," the lack of information didn't stop Guilfoyle and her co-hosts from speculating wildly.
Although no biographical details of the shooter were known at the time, Fox News psychiatrist Keith Ablow said on the June 10 edition of Outnumbered, "I predict again that we'll find that yet another person who used a gun was compromised by one or more psychological or psychiatric illnesses that could have been detected." Ablow also attacked "anti-gun nuts" who he said would blame the shooting on firearms.

The Skin Commandments
Just as you swap sweaters for sundresses come summer, pull a switcheroo for skin care twice a year. What your complexion craves in warm weather (less oil! ample sunscreen!) is different from the TLC it requires in cooler temps.
Because summer air is somewhat humid, you'll get some hydration naturally. So you need only a daily moisturizing sunscreen such as Aveeno Active Naturals Positively Ageless Multi-Defense Daily Moisturizer SPF 42, $20. Stop excess oil from clogging pores with an exfoliating cleanser or a scrub.
A few months from now, dry winter air will rob moisture from your skin, says Marsha Gordon, M.D., a dermatologist in New York City for St. Ives. Stick with your daytime SPF-laced lotion, but also apply a rich cream at night to keep skin supple. Trade to a creamy cleanser like Payot Hydrating Cleansing Milk, $30, and exfoliate only three days a week (two if your skin is sensitive). Try Nia 24 Rapid Exfoliating Serum, $75, which has nicotinic acid to help skin hold water.

You got to take a few chances in sports.
I feel for Reds fans going to Opening Day. Temp: 35, with snow and dropping temps. Brrr.....
On another note, an older gentleman who also walks the mall the same time we do every morning told us some good Bengals jokes.
Q: "Why are there no Tornadoes in Cincinnati?"
A: Because touchdowns don't exist at Paul Brown Stadium
Q: A kid goes to the judge and says he doesn't want to live with his dad because he beats him, so the Judge asks if he wants to live with his mom, but the kid says no because she beats him, so the judge asks who he does want to live with, and the kid replies, "the Bengals because they never beat anyone."
According to a recent poll, there are far more Reds fans than Bengals fans here in Cinci.
Press today is so concerned with cool vs. not cool that they're starting to forget good vs. bad. I'm not sure I'll ever be "cool", but I will always tirelessly strive to be "great". - Josh Groban
They are predicting cold weather for the beginning of the baseball season, here in Chicago. The first month of the season is always the hardest to tolerate, due to the temps.
Funny Bengals' jokes.
The Cubs are not making me laugh, as I sit here and watch them losing badly to the Yankees. I know it doesn't count today, but no one likes to lose against the Yanks.
Why do I like baseball? I played it as a kid. The schoolyard was at the end of the street that we lived on. We didn't even have to cross the street to get there. There was enough room for a game of fast pitch, and also for a game on the diamond. In the Summer, the girls I played with always got up early. We could always have a few games completed before the boys arrived, past noon, and wanted to chase us off. We would some time argue with them, but usually we left, because we were hungry by that time.
I could never catch with a baseball mitt. We either played softball, or we used a rubber ball, the size of a regulation baseball. I liked to pitch, but I don't profess to be that good. I could get it over the plate, and that was the point after all.
I remember when my grandson was in the Coach Pitch League. I tried pitching. The problem was that I threw underhand. That was how I did it as a kid. I was terrible. We switched, quickly, to my son pitching. He pitched really good to our team, and our kids won the championship that year.
Baseball is one of those sports that most of us have played. Some of us better than others. I never had any power. I couldn't hit a home run, but I got a lot of base hits, and I ran well enough to get around the bases.
The boys played with a regular baseball, and with baseball gloves of course. My brother would spend his entire day, down at the schoolyard. I always dreaded being the one to tell him that it was time for supper.
Have you played the game lately?
Sometimes, we are emotionally, violently jolted into the reminder that baseball, even at its highest levels, is indeed just a game - no matter how much we all get wrapped up in it, and passionately follow it.
I, along with many other Angel fans, got just such a reminder when I clicked my radio on this morning.
That's when I found out that 22-year rookie pitcher Nick Adenhart, who made his 2009 pitching debut just last night, was killed along with at least two others by a drunk driver in another car who ran a red light, at an intersection about five miles north of Angel Stadium.
The team, and much of Major League Baseball, is devastated, and the lives of many people have been changed forever by the stupidity of a man who decided to drink, drive, and then leave the scene of the accident. Of course, he received only minor injuries.
The A's -Angels game scheduled for tonight has been postponed, as you might imagine.
RIP, Nick Adenhart and the two others killed. My prayers are with all of the others concerned.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
I would imagine that most people with such a background do not become sports fans later on in life. However, as I started to catch up to the other kids in height in middle school, basketball become a solace for me. Unlike baseball, I could actually hone my skills shooting the ball on my own and as I lived across the street from a school, it was very convenient to do so. I also found that there were many other ways to contribute to your team for basketball, besides scoring baskets. All those years of getting passed over had placed quite a chip on my shoulder and so that got channeled into becoming a ferocious defender and rebounder. I never was the best player out there but many times I was the most determined and tried the hardest.
Being part of a team is a good feeling. I never got to participate in organized team sports when I was a young girl, because organized competition did not exist in the high schools when I attended. If it had, I would like to think that I would have joined. I always loved gym in school. We played basketball, of a different kind, called captain basketball. Although basketball was not my favorite, I did like being part of the team, in our gym class, and I always tried my best. At one time, I could hit a free throw, from the free throw line. Nowadays, the ball just seems so heavy. A team, is like a puzzle. Fit the pieces together just right, and you have success. Even greats like Michael Jordan had to learn team play.
Today is the home opener for the Chicago Cubs. It wouldn't be complete without seeing Ernie Banks interviewed, and the comments about the goat, the curse, and the "Let's Play 2" call.
I only went to one home opener. It was many years ago. The game never got played. It was rained out. We sat in our seats, and waited, and waited, and they never played. It wasn't much fun. That was back when you could actually buy a ticket to the game. Now, they are really hard to get.
My neighbor got that job at Wrigley, so today is his first day on the job. I thought that he had a maintenance job, but in fact he is an usher. Great job for him. He's a big Cubs fan. Hopefully, he can watch a bit of the game, while he does his job.
The Cubs play the Colorado Rockies for an afternoon game. Hopefully the game will be played. My radio is on, and the coverage has already started.
Happy Monday Morning, sports fans.
Barbaraann, you and I, I am presuming, are part of a slowly ending era of people actually listening to baseball games on the radio, and learning the game, and forming a bond, with the men behind the microphone.
For me, in SoCal, I grew up with a radio under my pillow, turned too low for my parents to hear (so I think anyway) with Vin Scully telling me the tales of the great Dodger teams of the mid-60's. Later it would be Don Wells, Don Drysdale or Dick Enberg with the Angels.
Baseball suffered another tough blow today with the loss of Philadelphia Phillies legendary broadcaster Harry Kalas. He had the great "pipes" as we say in the radio biz. That deep, resonant baritone so recognizable as the 39-year voice of the Phillies, and later the voice of NFL Films, Campbell's soup commercials, and seemingly a million other things.
If he had to collapse anywhere before dying, the broadcast booth getting ready for a game would seem to be the place. He was able to call the last out of another Phillies world champion last year.
Along with the likes of Harry Caray, Jack Brickhouse, Mel Allen, Jack Buck, Joe Nuxhall and others, another voice from a seemingly bygone era has left us.
I had the chance to meet and interview Harry Kalas a couple of times. He was Class with a capital "C". I will miss him.
Vin Scully, entering his 60th year of broadcasting Dodger games, threw out the first pitch before today's LA home opener.
He said to the crowd...after receiving a lengthy standing ovation...
"I've needed you, a whole lot more than you've needed me".
Vinny, I shall cherish the remaining time we will have to spend together, be it on radio or TV.
And Harry - rest in peace, my friend. We'll miss you a great deal.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
It's nice to be able to sit and listen to the Cubs on the radio again. I can listen to them play the Cardinals today, and read MiceChat at the same time.
Tonite the Blackhawks start their playoffs. I know that my oldest son is excited about this. I also like the fact that the Blackhawks are now on WGN radio. I can't usually concentrate on the televison, and MiceChat at the same time, but the radio is different.
By the way, Fukodome just hit a homerun.
Cubs are leading 4 to 3.
I listened to that Hockey game the other night, where the Blackhawks won in overtime. I don't know anything about questionable calls, or lack of calls, I just know that it was exciting. It's always great to get the first win under your belt.
The Cubs are playing the Cardinals again. The 7th inning stretch singer today was the Bears new quarterback Jay Coutler. He was talking to Ron Santo about his diabetes. He was diagnosed just last year, I believe he said. I never knew, way back when that Santo played with it years ago. It is treated so differently today, not that that makes it any easier to live with it.
I am off to listen to the rest of the ballgame. The game is tied. It appears that it is going into extra innings.
I did some yardwork today, and it appears that I have a sliver in my finger. It doesn't appear that I can prune a rose bush without the bush getting me.
See ya, sports fans.

Workshop in the basement???
The next house has a below ground basement with one window and one exterior door. It is unfinished and not insulated, all you see is the concrete walls.
The question is, can we put a workshop there? I have been convincing my husband to put his workshop there instead of using garage space. Is there really any issues of using the basement as workshop? He's worried about stale air. His workshop would only be about 15-20% of the total basement space.
Any advice? Is this possible? How to make it work? I'm the one trying to do the research since I am the one doing the convincing on putting his workshop in the basement. :)
What kind of workshop? If woodworking, you may find a lot of sawdust will migrate upstairs. If painting, finishing, etc, provisions will have to be made for ventilation.
Having had a basement workshop for years (woodworking and metal working) the biggest problem was always getting larger pieces of material in and out.
Dust control is not all that hard with a decent cyclonic dust collector system (luckily metal chips do not tend to go very far anyway, though cutting oil can smell).
Large pieces of wood (like 4x8 foot sheet goods) are a real PITA to move in, and even larger lumber pieces can be a problem (I cannot imagine moving a 16 ft x 44 inch x 4.5 ft mahogany plank down a staircase).
I now have a basement shop, but have a floor level door that exits to a walk out garage (and the really large pieces are still a little bit of trouble).
I often end up chopping raw materials down in the garage to more manageable sizes.
. The other issue with a basement shop is humidity.
Metal working tools (lathes, mills, shears) can be kept oiled easily enough, but wood working tools are a little tougher to protect without running the risk of contaminating materials and producing finishing problems.
A hear gun, paste wax, and buffing can put a hard wax coat on woodworking tools (table saw tables, band saw table, drill press tables and columns, etc.) to protect against rust. I end up doing mine about twice a year.

'Ringim's sack a distraction'
FOR the Transition Monitoring Group (TMG), the sack of former Inspector General of Police (IGP), Hafiz Ringim by the Presidency is inappropriate and a distraction from the actual solution to the security challenges facing the country.
The group, in a statement by its chairman, Moshood Erubami, yesterday, described the sack as an idle response to the challenge, saying such decisions have not yielded the expected result in the past.
It urged President Goodluck Jonathan to strengthen the intelligence unit of the police and also carry out a complete overhaul of the nation's security system.
The group said: "The removal from office of Hafiz Ringim is an idle decision which cannot achieve the desired result until the intelligence gathering of the police is greatly enhanced."

Release Date:
August 30, 2007
Date Published:
August 30, 2007
Confined to a psychiatric hospital following the murder of her young daughter, Emma Bratte refuses to speak any language but her mother tongue. Dr. MacLeod had brought in an interpreter, Flore, to help him evaluate Emma's fitness to stand trial.
"Both crazy and too lucid," an articulate and knowledgeable Emma relates her long battle against despair, through striking images of her lonely but determined and creative struggle to win the love of a mother misled by a racist society and then through tales of the suffering and resistance of some of her female forebears. These narratives, which are both epic and dramatic, and their contrasting reception by the officious psychiatrist and the sensitive Flore, produce rich layers of experience and meaning in this concisely narrated work.
Flore recognizes Emma's faithfulness to her ancestor's struggle and wisdom, both in her desperate gesture to save her child from the cruel humiliations of prejudice and in her definitive act of rejoining her ancestors when she has effectively fulfilled her duty to pass on the memory, theirs and hers, to guide her successors, like Flore.

"I personalized the cards to look very similar to the one pictured and they came out beautifully. The quality is great and they were adorable... heard from so many family and friends that they loved them. I couldn't choose just one picture, so I love the option of adding photos to the back, which I did!"
"This cute design compliments the picture of your adorable baby. Of Course they under promised and over delivered on the delivery time. Ordered on Monday and delivered on Friday."
"I really loved this template. I was specifically looking for a design that had multiple photos with one very large to showcase our newborn photos. I favor timeless more traditional designs, and thought the details on this design to be perfect including the mixture of all caps and cursive fonts, the initial highlight on the right-hand side, and the ticket punch... Just perfect. My family LOVED this announcement. It will make the perfect keepsake."
"Fast delivery received them earlier than expected. Cute two in one announcement so you don't have to purchase to announcements."
"Loved this card, it facilitated both a customized thank you but also a classy announcement! It served a duel purpose and everyone loved it! I highly recommend this card to save money and time!"

Joyful Relationships
All relationships can be pleasurable when we know how to generate happiness regardless of what others say and do. Love and prosperity are self-generated because we are love and prosperity. Because we are love, we do not and cannot get love from anyone, but when we are around people who like us, it is easier to be ourselves (which is love). Once we are Self-realized, we are in a constant state of love. We are being ourselves under any and all circumstances even when others dislike or disapprove of us. Approval Addiction The main problem in relationships is the belief that we must have the...Read More
How to Manage and Revitalize Your Personal Energy
Energy, Health, and Conscious Living The 21st Century Energy Crisis One of the major health issues affecting people today is lack of energy. The energy crisis we are currently facing is not limited to our environment and the planet we live on. The crisis extends to each one of us, and the bodies we live in. More and more people suffer from stress related illnesses. In fact research suggests that as many as 80-85% of all disease and illness is caused by stress.1 The technological age that promised extended free time and increased leisure is draining us energetically. Work pressures,...Read More
Psychotherapeutic Reiki for Mind and Body
At the heart of this approach is the position that psychological symptoms and conditions are organized and maintained by ki (subtle energy) in the human energy field and are stored and carried in the physical body. Traditional psychotherapeutic approaches do not address subtle energy and they tend to downplay or ignore the role the body plays in symptom formation. Traditional approaches do not seek to treat the energy blocks that underlie the effects of negative conditioning, stress and trauma nor do they do enough to promote awareness of a symptom's interconnected parts: energetic, mental,...Read More
Reiki Moves into Hospice and Home Health Care Spheres
According to a 2012 report from the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, an estimated 1.65 million patients received service from hospice in 2011. In a 2004 report, the Centers for Disease Control estimated that nearly 1.4 million people were using home health care services. Couple these statistics, and the sheer numbers of people who fall under these two categories of treatment becomes clear: millions of patients each year choose at-home therapies, be it a hospice home or a personal one. Reiki and Palliative Care Beyond the patients, home care and hospice scenarios can affect...Read More
Finding Your Power – Laying the Seeds for an Unshakable Foundation
The journey of finding your power, when taken in earnest, changes you from the inside out. It changes all that you say, do, think and feel about yourself, your relationships and life's circumstances. At first blush, the concept may sound a little foreign. But, once you commence the journey to discover your true essence, your power, you can never go back . . . and, you'll never want to. Several years ago, a series of events in my life were triggered that lead me on a journey to discover my own power. It began with a difficult pregnancy followed by a difficult birth and a son who suffered...Read More

Thoughts on Teaching Reiki
I have been teaching Reiki since 2006. Over the years I have found myself repeating certain phrases during my classes. I tell my students that if they remember anything from their class to remember these things: Reiki is the Teacher Trust your intuition Intention is everything Keep your ego and personality out of it I've said these things so many times in class that I've added them to my handouts. And I think I'm going to add – Let Reiki humble you. I'd like to share these ideas with you. Maybe they will resonate with you and you can use them in your class. Maybe you have some words of...Read More

Clearing Your Space with Reiki
Applying Reiki Energy to Your Space The energy that moves through you in a Reiki session can be applied to the space you live in and work in as well, with great beneficial effect. In fact, the Reiki you do on yourself and on others will be enhanced if the space you work in is also clear. Stuck or sticky feelings in a space can come from the residue of past experiences which can leave a heaviness behind. Energy lines from the earth's natural fields can affect a space's sense of balance.1 Space Clearing for Comfort Some of these sources of discomfort are perceptible with electronic devices,...Read More
A New Look at the Five Reiki Principles
The Five Reiki Principles For the past months, I've been practicing Hatsurei-Ho, a Japanese Reiki meditation technique which incorporates the reciting of the 5 Reiki Principles. What struck me a few weeks into this practice was the feeling I got from the words that make up the 5 Principles; that a "stern someone" was standing over me telling me what to do as well as what not to do. The Secret Art of Inviting Happiness It has been 25 years since these principles were first told to me in my Reiki 1 class and while I worked with these principles early on, my personal work with them has become...Read More
How Reiki Changes Your Life
Reiki Changes Your Life with Love Reiki profoundly changes your life. Not only have I experienced the wonderful events brought on by the unconditional love of the universe in myself, but I have witnessed it in others too. No one will deny the humbling power of the universal energy that celebrates our connection to everything around us, however too often we impose crippling restrictions and limitations onto ourselves due to our fears; of failure, abandonment, pain or even success. Reiki can diminish and destroy these fears. It can highlight our connection and our love to ourselves, our planet...Read More
Recharging Your Compassionate Heart
Are you someone who cares about other people? Are you among the first to notice if someone is upset? Do you like to help those in need around you?

When you are someone who has a lot of empathy it can sometimes be difficult to learn how to have both healthy connections and healthy boundaries. Yet, both are required in order to enjoy your life and not burn out as a caring, empathic...Read More
Reiki…Ten Useful Applications of Reiki Healing to Improve Your Personal and Professional Life
About Reiki and the Concept of Life Force Energy Reiki is the Japanese name for Universal Life Energy, the source of vitality and the very 'life force' that keeps us alive and healthy. Therefore, the fundamental importance of Reiki in life, being critical to our existence, cannot be over-emphasized. Yet, to many the concept of this life force energy remains vague; as incredible as it is, to some it could even seem 'too good to be true'! Not to mention, understanding the abstract spiritual nature of the healing energy requires a different perspective beyond the realm of the five sense...Read More
Reiki at the End of Life
Exploring Reiki for End-of-Life Care When I was training to be a Reiki Master Teacher, we talked about how hospitals, elder-care facilities, and hospice programs continue to adopt Reiki in what is a growing and wide-spread trend. We explored Reiki as part of the death and dying process and how it could be healing for all involved in the end-of-life experience. At the time I did not know how profound that learning would be. Reiki and the Gift of Connection My first transformative experience with death came as I shared the last three months of my mother's life. During this time, I was able to...Read More
Telling a Happier Story
Telling a Happier Story: Reach for positive feelings before you speak, whether it's in your head or out loud. Share words of encouragement, hope, empowerment, and love. This core lesson is based on one you learned as a child: "If you don't have anything nice to say about somebody, don't say anything at all." We only have to modify this adage a little so that "somebody" includes yourself and the situations in which you find yourself. The idea is, very simply, to reach for a positive feeling before you speak, whether it's in your head or out loud. If you can learn to do this one thing, you'll...Read More
Reiki in the Clinical Setting
Reiki in the Clinical Setting is On The Rise Reiki is increasingly finding its way into institutional settings, from hospitals to hospices, and the push appears to be coming from patients as well as clinical practitioners.

"And hospitals are responding to the...Read More

Too many to list...Here are a few
-100 % commission--you get a % of a % of a %....essentially they are taking a huge chunk of YOUR hard work until you reach level 4
-In the interview process they make you think you can make so much money on commission and they tell you about convention and all the fun trips to avoid how horrible this job is
-They make you work 8 hours a day and expect you to be COLD calling every second with NO PAY
-They make you work weekends..again with NO PAY
-Must pay 1000$ plus (which you will never get back) for your license
-The paperwork process is so long, you don't get paid for months
-I am now in debt
-Make you get family members and friends involved, only to quit later
-Many people left after getting their license
Evaluate your options before taking this job. There are so many other options out there that at least pay you a base salary without working all day. You will be in debt before making any money at this company. I wish I knew that before I accepted the offer and wasted my time getting licenses I will never use.
