With the support of skilled and experienced facilitators, and an Ayahuasca Maestra with over 30 years experience, this retreat offers a unique and special opportunity to step deep into your journey.
Shipiba Maestras
We work with respected and trusted Shipiba Maestras who travel from the jungles of Pucallpa, their native land, to join us in these sacred mountains for a deep healing journey.
The shipibo are a beautiful tribe of approximately 35,000 people located in the basin of the amazon jungle in Peru. They live in various different villages along the Ucayali River.
The Shipibo culture and their relationship with the plants are completely interwoven. Traditional Shipibo healers spend 15-20 years dieting and apprenticing with plant medicines. Spending at times years in isolation dieting different plants. During these diets, the healers receive healing songs from the plants called "ikaros". After many years of training they can help heal people by removing blockages and dark energies, by singing these medicine songs directly to people during an Ayahuasca ceremony.
Working alongside Ayahuasca and various other master plants, the spirits of the plants support the healers in their healing work. The pharmacopeia that exists in the jungle is an incredible resource that many shipibo healers have. These ceremonies can be a powerful catalyst for healing. The ceremonies will take place at night time in the dark. Our maestra will do individual work on each person during ceremonies. It is our commitment to the women attending, that we will hold a safe and supportive space throughout the retreat inside and outside of ceremony.
The maestra for this retreat will be announced in the coming months
11 Day Retreat with a Shipiba Maestra & facilitators Carolina,Gisela, & Aurianna $1850 USD
Before booking online we'd love to talk with you!
Please contact us via email email@example.com The first step in registering is to visit our website and fill out the form under "booking". Please also send us an e-mail to let us know you have submitted your form.
We cannot accept your deposit until we've confirmed through dialogue your medical history, and any previous experience working with the medicine. Please be advised that anyone taking SSRI's or with a history of serious mental health issues will not be able to attend. We are committed to offering the highest quality care to those attending. We believe in the tremendous healing available through this work, but such issues should be addressed one on one. Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to hearing from you.
The Vision of Tree of Light Retreats
Tree of Light Retreats was birthed with the guidance received from the medicine to create a safe, loving, intimate, and supportive space for women to experience the powerful and transformative plant medicine Ayahuasca, in the ancient Shipibo tradition.
Our passionate and well-trained facilitators have devoted many years to the path of Ayahuasca and traditional plant dietas. They are in a path of service to hold space, offer guidance, and loving support to all who are ready and willing to embark on this journey. We hold these retreats, with the deep understanding that as we heal ourselves, we heal the world, and little by little the world changes.
With each retreat we have a deeper understanding of the importance of holding women's circles. The ceremonies become like a giant womb with a safe and loving energy, allowing for vulnerablity and depth of healing. An opportunity to heal our own wounds and the wounds that exist between women and how we relate to one another.
Taking the time to honor ourselves and create time without the distraction of family, work, expectations etc. A time to sit in the sacred sisterhood and let go of what no longer serves us. To heal, to grow, to forgive, to empower ourselves, to connect with our deepest light and come back to what is truly important in this life.
Though Tree of Light's focus and original vision is to host women's retreats, we have opened the space up a couple times throughout the year to both men and women. My husband and I met in the jungle while working very closely with the medicine. It has been an integral part of our relationship from day one, and with this we honor the journey of the Masculine and Feminine. Seeing the real need for balance, love, and respect in this walk together as human beings.
We feel so much gratitude for this amazing path. Our continual prayer is that all those who come truly receive the blessings of this work. With courage, humility, and great love guiding us all.
Carolina & the team at Tree of Light Retreats
This retreat will be facilitated by:
Carolina Dowell –
Carolina has had an interest in health and healing from a very young age. She worked at UCLA Medical Center as a Registered Nurse for 4 years, before opening an alternative healing center. She first began working with Ayahuasca in 2010. She was called to work with this medicine after the unexpected passing of her Mother and divorce from her husband. After her first ceremony she knew that she had found her teacher, and in 2011 she made her first journey to Peru to work with Shipibo healers. Her experiences were so profound that she decided to make a big life change and move to the jungle. She spent the next few years working closely with the medicine and other plant dietas. Carolina received a very deep calling from the plants to help share their wisdom and support others choosing to step onto this path. For 2 years she facilitated at the Temple of The Way of Light, where she supported and helped guide hundreds of people on their medicine journey. Carolina now lives in the Sacred Valley of Peru with her partner and beautiful daughter. After becoming a mother she felt called to share the medicine again, which led to the birthing of Tree of Light Retreats with the focus on holding a safe space for women to experience Ayahuasca in the Shipibo tradtion. A couple times thoughout the year Carolina and her husband create mixed retreats to welcome men as well.
Co-Facilitator: Gisela Aguliar –
Gisela is a 41-year-old Peruvian woman who started her journey with the medicine 7 years ago in the Peruvian Jungle. She started and continues to learn with the same shipibo elders, Manuela Mahua and Horacio Brito. She has attended several ayahuasca workshops and has done 2 traditional tree dietas, Huairacaspi for three months and Ayahuma for 2 months. Two years ago, she started to work as a facilitator on ayahuasca workshops. The medicine had a big impact on her, so she decided to listen and follow her heart's calling for the medicine more and more and quit her full-time job in a business company in Lima and move to the Sacred Valley, where she co-founded a holistic Montessori Kindergarten for small kids, where she teaches art and music to the children. She is enjoying life and happily continuing to explore the medicine path.
We are really excited to welcome a new member to our team Aurianna Joy!! She will be co-facilitating alongside Carolina & Gigi for this first retreat
Co-Facilitator: Aurianna Joy
Aurianna Joy began her journey to holistic wellbeing when she was diagnosed with a chronic illness at age 16. This diagnosis led her around the world in search of a cure, which resulted in a deeply transformative healing journey that has given her experience and wisdom beyond her years. In 2013, Aurianna began working with the sacred plant medicine, Ayahuasca, in the Shipibo tradition of Peru, and has since found her calling in assiting others on their path back to radical self-love. Aurianna is a AADP certified Holisitc Health Coach, yoga teacher, birth doula, and women's wellness expert who is passionate about holding space for women on their journey to transformation.

Tree of Light Retreats: Women's Ayahuasca Retreat
We are excited that you are considering joining us for this retreat on March 11th - 21st 2017 in the Sacred Valley of Peru. This will be an intimate retreat with 12 to 14 women.
It is our recommendation for 2 weeks before you arrive, that you begin to follow an Ayahuasca diet. The nature of this retreat is to do very deep work and beginning the diet is part of your preparation and commitment to your journey.
- Decrease caffeine and sugar
- No drugs or alcohol (please let us know if you are taking any pharmaceutical medications)
- No pork
- Decrease your salt intake

We feel very blessed to have the opportunity to work with our Maestras. Shipibo Ayahuasca ceremonies take place at night time in the dark. The medicine songs that are sung are called "ikaros". During every ceremony people will receive individualized work from our maestra, as she sings directly to them. We believe and have witnessed in our own experiences that this level of care helps to remove blockages and allows for deep healing to take place.
On the morning of the 12th we will begin with vomitivos (a Shipibo tradition to help clean and prepare the body for ceremony). There will be ceremonies on the following days: 12th, 13th, 15th, 17th and 19th. On ceremony days only breakfast and lunch will be served. There will be integration meetings to share our experiences, as well as one on one support from Carolina and Gisela. We also plan for yoga and hikes (a daily schedule will be given upon arrival).

32nd National Women's Ekiden under nearly perfect conditions Jan. 12 in Kyoto. The season-ending women's national championship ekiden, the National Women's Ekiden features teams from each of Japan's 47 prefectures made up of junior high, high school, university and pro runners competing over 9 stages and 42.195 km broadcast live nationwide and commercial-free.
Osaka led with with a strong opening leg from Natsuki Omori, but on the 4.0 km Second Stage last year's Third Stage course record-setter Nozomi Musembi Takamatsu, daughter of 2001 Nagano Marathon winner Maxwell Musembi (Kenya), fumbled and dropped Osaka to 11th. Taking over the lead spot was Azusa Sumi (Aichi), who opened a lead of 12 seconds over Akari Ota (Okayama) by stage's end, Yuka Kobayashi (Gunma) moving up to 3rd another 8 seconds back while defending champion Kanagawa sat 8th.
On the 3.0 km Third Stage Gunma made up the ground to the lead and more, opening a 14-second thanks to a superb run from Wakana Kabasawa of 2013 National Junior High School Ekiden champion Fujimi J.H.S. But there was a surprise. Tearing up the stage and coming in one second faster than Kabasawa was Tomomi Musembi Takamatsu, the younger sister of the Second Stage's Takamatsu, who passed 8 people to return Osaka to contention for the podium. Gunma's lead stayed almost unchanged on the 4.0 km Fourth Stage, but behind her Kizaki took one second off the stage record held by 1500 m national record holder Yuriko Kobayashi (Hyogo), running 12:40 to put Kyoto just 13 seconds back. Kyoto's Fifth Stage runner Kureha Seki was very impressive as she ran down Gunma's Haruna Takada, passing with power late in the stage and putting Kyoto 6 seconds ahead.
From there Kyoto's lead only grew, 7 seconds after the Sixth Stage as Aichi overtook Gunma for 2nd, 16 seconds after the Seventh Stage, and 29 seconds separating them from Aichi after the Eighth Stage with Gunma another 2 second back. Over the same stages Hyogo advanced to 4th, thanks in part to an Eighth Stage win just off the stage record from Nozomi Tanaka, daughter of sub-2:30 amateur Chihiro Tanaka (Athlec AC) who set a 2:36:53 CR at the Kobe Marathon in November at age 44. Defending champion Kanagawa moved up to 5th 6 seconds behind Hyogo, with Okayama 21 seconds further back in 6th.
The 10.0 km anchor stage, the ekiden's longest and home of most of the top competition, proved tense and dramatic. Kyoto anchor Mao Kuroda set out at a steady but conservative pace, while 31 seconds back former Bukkyo University ace Kasumi Nishihara (Gunma) burned up ground to catch her, equally steady in pacing as she took 3 seconds per km off Kuroda's lead. At that rate she had a shot of catching Kuroda on the final lap of the track, but from 5 km to 8 km Kuroda picked it up just enough to stay out of range, crossing the finish line in 2:15:32 with Nishihara bearing down on her in the home straight to take 2nd just 7 seconds behind.
Aichi's Mai Shoji couldn't stay with Nishihara and dropped nearly a minute back. With just over a km to go she was run down by London Olympic marathoner Risa Shigetomo, who looked formidable as her 31:50 took the stage win and moved Okayama up from 6th to 3rd in 2:16:13. Shoji brought Aichi home 4th in 2:16:25, Gunma, Okayama and Aichi all recording their fastest-ever times at the National Women's Ekiden. Kanagawa held on to 5th in 2:17:15, just 4 seconds ahead of 6th-place Hyogo. Far back in the field, Moscow World Championships marathon bronze medalist Kayoko Fukushi (Aomori) started in 37th and moved up all the way to 25th, but although she was characteristically quick in 31:59 she finished only 2nd-best on the stage behind Shigetomo's time. Having won the Osaka International Women's Marathon in 2012, Shigetomo certainly looks ready to contend later this month when she returns to Osaka.
National championship ekiden season draws to a close next weekend with the 19th running of the National Men's Ekiden in Hiroshima. Check back later in the week for a race preview, and follow @JRNLive on Twitter for live coverage.

Legislators Visit TA Campus
Last week, Trident Academy began welcoming local legislators to campus so that they might see first-hand, the benefit of the Educational Credit for Exceptional Needs Children (ECENC) Proviso for students such as ours. Over the past few years, this program has been a lifeline for families whose children require the skills and expertise Trident Academy provides in order to embrace learning and flourish. Under the parameters of the proviso, Trident Academy is designated as a Tier III school, which means that our school specifically exists to meet the needs only of exceptional needs students with documented disabilities. In 2014-2015, the proviso provided 35 tuition assistance grants of up to $10,000 for Trident Academy families, totaling approximately $330,000.
In addition to meeting our students and teachers, legislators also have the opportunity to meet with some of our parents, to hear directly from them the critical difference this program has made in their lives and in the lives of their children. For many, the ECENC Proviso has enabled them to secure for their child a real chance to overcome their learning differences and face a brighter future, accomplishing their educational goals.
Discussion on turning the ECENC Proviso into SC law will re-commence in the legislature in January. Visiting our campus this past week were Senator Chip Campsen (District 43 — Charleston, Beaufort & Colleton Counties), Senator Sean Bennett (District 38 – Berkeley, Charleston & Dorchester Counties), and Representative Joe Daning (District 92 – Berkeley County). Invitations to visit our school were issued by Head of School, Betsy Fanning, to all legislators who have current Trident Academy parents residing in their respective districts.

ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX -- (Senate - November 16, 2007)
Mr. HATCH. Mr. President, I rise today to discuss the pending crisis of the American taxpayer. The cause of this crisis is the failure of Congress to deal honestly with the alternative minimum tax, or AMT.
Debate over what to do about the AMT has become a yearly ritual on Capitol Hill. As a member of the Finance Committee, I fully understand this ritual. But this year, we are dragging our feet, and the more we delay, the more likely it is that millions of Americans will get socked with an unexpected tax bill next year and millions more will have their refunds delayed.
Now it appears we are not going to address the AMT until December. Failure to address the AMT promptly on our return will be a pretty terrible Christmas surprise for the families impacted by congressional ineptitude, but it will certainly be a surprise they will never forget. I can see it now: Surprise, you need to write a check for $3,000 to the IRS by April 15. That is right up there with: Surprise, you have been served. Yet Congress delays. Congress fiddles. This is grossly irresponsible.
According to Secretary Paulson and the Department of the Treasury, unless we fix the AMT, 25 million taxpayers will be subject to it in 2007. That is 21 million more than in 2006. And 25 million other taxpayers will face delays in the processing of their returns and receiving of refunds. In my home State of Utah, the Joint Tax Committee estimates we will jump from 19,000 AMT filers to 150,000 AMT filers. This is simply unacceptable.
Most of the taxpayers who are at risk have not planned for the eventuality of AMT liability. After all, year after year, like clockwork, the Republicans controlled Congress and they passed AMT relief. We are already too late to avoid some problems. The IRS warned Congress that unless we fixed the AMT by early November, there would be serious delays in the processing of tax returns. We are now pushing toward Thanksgiving. Secretary Paulson has made clear that based on historical filing patterns, enactment of an AMT fix in mid to late December could delay issuance of approximately $75 billion in refunds--that is with a ``b,'' a billion dollars, 75 of them. That is 25 million tax refunds delayed.
It is always a bad idea for Members of Congress to get between their constituents and their tax refunds. Yet here we are. How did we come to this particular pass? The story of the AMT should be a case study for limited Government. Give Congress long enough, and it will find a way to mess things up.
In 1969, the press reported that 155 high-income Americans paid no Federal income taxes in 1966. That was found out in 1969. Congress came to the rescue, creating an alternative minimum tax that would make sure all Americans paid their fair share. The AMT would prevent tax avoidance by disallowing certain credits and deductions. As if it is not bad enough figuring out one tax system, now many Americans would have to complete their tax a second way--once under the traditional income tax and once under the alternative minimum tax. And naturally the tax that gets paid is the one which is highest.
Still, this AMT was originally meant to apply to a small number of filers--155. That is 155 out of almost 300 million people. Today, it is a menace threatening millions of Americans. Absent changes, estimates show that by 2010, nearly 89 percent of all married couples, with two children, earning between $75,000 and $100,000 will be hit by the AMT. Make no mistake about it, elected officials are responsible for that train wreck--and, I might say, on both sides of the aisle.
In 1986, Congress failed to index the AMT exemption for inflation.
In 1993, a Democratic Congress and President Clinton took us a bit further down the road toward this fiscal debacle. They raised the 24-percent rate on the first $175,000 of the alternative minimum tax. They raised that taxable income to 26 percent. The rate on income in excess of $175,000 was raised to 28 percent.
Republicans in Congress attempted to right the ship. In 1999, we passed a provision repealing the AMT in its entirety. Done. Finito. Vaya con dios, AMT. Had President Clinton signed this bill, we would not be having this debate today. Millions of Americans would not be staring down the barrel of an unfair and unplanned-for tax hike. But we all know how this story ended. President Clinton vetoed the bill. This was the coup de grace. And so the AMT would continue to haunt us, growing bigger and more destructive every year since then.
The tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 only further emphasized the insidiousness of the AMT. These tax cuts promised tax relief to middle-class families and economic growth. Yet, as the economy grew and income rose, more and more middle-class families fell into the AMT trap. Economic growth, income growth, tax cuts, and a failure to index the AMT for inflation created one costly cocktail for millions of families.
So there you have it. Congress manages to take a tax designed to target a handful of super-rich tax avoiders--155 people--and 40 years later, millions of middle-class families are being hit by that tax.
For what it is worth, this experience should give pause to any American who wants to hand management of the Nation's health care system over to the good people on Capitol Hill--us good people on Capitol Hill. Nonetheless, since 2001, Congress has patched the AMT. In layman's terms, on a yearly basis we have increased the AMT exemption. The result is that fewer Americans have an AMT liability greater than their liability under the ordinary income tax. These patches have done the trick. They have prevented the AMT from hitting even more families. Republicans dutifully passed that patch as sure as the sun rising in the morning.
Now, don't get me wrong, a yearly patch is no substitute for what we tried to do during the Clinton years, and that was to completely repeal the AMT, which I have been advocating for many years. Only complete repeal will remove the uncertainty faced by millions of Americans with potential AMT liability. And as is on full display this year, that uncertainty is growing.
The problem now is the insistence by my colleagues on the other side that we follow the so-called pay-go rules. Under a Democratic Congress, any tax cuts must be paid for. Now, let me translate that for you. This Democratic
Congress is going to raise your taxes, and to pay for the AMT, a Democratic Congress is going to have to raise a lot of your taxes. Under pay-go rules, if Congress passes a provision that reduces revenues to the Treasury, it must make up the balance from somewhere else. This is true even if the provision does not cut taxes but merely prevents a tax increase from hitting middle-class American families.
The Democratic Congress is proud of these rules. These rules supposedly demonstrate a commitment to fiscal responsibility. But, as some wags have suggested, the Democrats misnamed their rule. It should be more accurately called tax-go, not what it has been--pay-go. You see, in the hands of a Democratic Congress, the way to balance the books after a tax cut is never to cut spending; it is always to raise taxes. You have to love the logic. We are going to cut taxes by raising taxes. This is a public policy of robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Now, you don't have to take my word for it. This is what Congressman Tim Mahoney, a Florida Democrat, had to say:
You want to reward people for taking risks. How about budget cuts to make government more efficient? We need to show people we are good managers and stewards of their money. I've been here 10 months and I haven't seen one proposal to cut spending.
Now, I think that about hits the mark, and that is a Democrat speaking about Democrat rule in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Now, for the Democrats--most of them--fiscal responsibility means one thing: raising your taxes. They have a one-page playbook, and with the AMT fix passed by the House last week, they ran that play right down the throats of the American people. Touchdown, Democrats. Unfortunately, the American people are the big losers here. A 1-year patch for the alternative minimum tax costs $50 billion. For 2 years, we will need to come up with $135 billion. Permanent repeal of the alternative minimum tax will now cost us $872 billion.
Oh, if we had just had President Clinton sign into law the repeal of AMT that we passed through both Houses of Congress back then. But let's just start with the 1-year patch.
In order to pay for this $50 billion 1-year patch--or a tax increase, in other words--the House had to come up with $50 billion in tax increases. One of the most talked about tax hikes in that bill involves treating carried-interest income, currently taxed as capital gains, as ordinary income. This is an old-school soak-the-rich play, honed before the adoption of the forward pass. I think for this one the Democrats pulled out FDR's playbook. Go after private equity managers, raise taxes on the 50,000 people nationwide earning carried interest, and keep taxes level for the 23 million people whose financial security is jeopardized by AMT. Never mind the fact that this could create perverse disincentives for one of the engines of our current economic growth. Never mind that it would reduce risk-taking in venture capital firms and real estate partnerships and other entities that create jobs and economic growth. Never mind the fact we are paying for a 1-year AMT tax by permanently raising taxes--your taxes. No, what is really pathetic about this proposal is that the Democrats who support this want to permanently raise taxes to pay for revenue we never thought we would have in the first place. People, this is phantom revenue. We were never going to collect this money. We never wanted to collect this money. But with a twisted sense of fiscal responsibility, we are now going down the road of permanently increasing taxes to make 1-year offsets on money we never thought we would have. And that is because we are unwilling to cut spending in this Congress today. Now, this is some seriously warped tax policy.
The House majority leader sees these misguided tax hikes as a model of virtuous statesmanship--"Raising revenues takes political courage.'' If that is true, then the House Democrats are the Spartans of tax hikes. In the end, I doubt we will raise taxes to pay for AMT relief. I certainly hope we will not do that.
I understand why the Democrats feel the need to blame someone else for this problem. While Americans everywhere could be hit by the AMT, it really is the high-tech States--represented primarily by Democrats--that will suffer the most if Congress fails to act. All States will suffer, but the ones that will suffer the most are the blue States. Taxpayers in California, Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York filed 44.2 percent of all AMT returns last year, and I think that figures in it a lot.
This disparity is only growing. If Congress does not fix this problem, in States such as Connecticut, Maryland, and New Jersey, nearly 25 percent of current filers will be forced into paying the alternative minimum tax. Absent alternative minimum tax relief, New York would have 1 million additional AMT tax filers this year compared to last year--1 million more. In California, the number of new AMT filers would increase by 1.7 million.
I don't mind these Robin Hood-like approaches to blue States, if that is what they want to do by electing people who do this to them. I think they have a right to do that. But I will bet money that they do not want that type of thing to happen to them.
These individuals and families, who are going to now be sucked into the AMT tax, never thought they would be subjected to the AMT and so they did not withhold accordingly. The worst case scenario, then, is that they will actually have to cut checks for thousands of dollars come April.
Let's not forget the 25 million lower income taxpayers who are facing long delays in getting their refunds because of the slowness of the Congress and the inability of Congress to get this done. This would be devastating, it will be devastating, unless we can change this. Yet we continue to dither. The answer is easy: Repeal it, just do it, get rid of it already. But Democrats do not seem to be inclined to do the sensible thing. They want to let the AMT linger and fester.
Year after year, repeal will become even more expensive and the Democrats, armed with their pay-go rules, will have to find a way to balance the books when they do repeal it.
What do they propose? How will they offset the nearly $1 trillion that AMT repeal or reform will cost? If you look closely enough, you can just make it out on the horizon--the mother lode, the mother ship, the mother of all tax reforms, according to my dear friend over in the House, the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. We are close friends but, boy, he called it right, the mother of all tax reforms.
AMT relief is at the center of the central Democratic proposal for tax reform. While this tax reform is going nowhere right now, make no mistake about it, this is what we have to look forward to, from a Democratic Congress and White House.
My friend from New York, the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, has a way of getting what he wants. He is smart--I think he is brilliant, personally--he is persistent, and he knows how to cut a deal. I know. I have worked with him on a number of things. I have great admiration for him. And this mother of all tax reforms is his baby. But as much as I love my friend Congressman Rangel, this is one ugly mother.
This mother is not friendly or funny like Lucille Ball. She is a bit creepy, as a matter of fact, as you can see. Actually, she is a bit scary. That is frightening. At times, she is downright unstable. This may be hard to see on the television cameras here, but she looks pretty unstable to me. And she is coming to get the middle class.
This mother promises to get rid of the onerous AMT. By repealing AMT, mother claims she will provide tax relief to millions of middle-class families. But mother is really only out for mother. Of course, that relief is not real relief, since we never intended those families to pay the AMT in the first place. Calling this tax relief is like someone getting ready to hit you in the head with a hammer, deciding not to hit you, and then telling you that he is doing you a favor.
What she gives with one hand, this mother takes away with the other, by assuming the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, so essential to our economic growth, will expire.
The mother ship already comes fully loaded with the largest tax increase in history. Allowing the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts to expire would dwarf even that.
This is not a recipe for happy taxpayers, this is bitter and unnecessary medicine. The majority of Democrats in the Congress seem prepared to make the American taxpayer take the dose. You can see, it is not very tasty.
We do not need to go down this track. To borrow from an old movie, we should ``Throw Momma''--this mama--``From The Train.'' It would be a real mistake to continue the practice of paying for fake, temporary tax cuts with real and permanent tax hikes.
Contrary to the assertions of some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, the only responsible and the only realistic action we can take is to repeal the AMT in its entirety right now. We should do so without raising taxes.
We are going to have a debate in the next few years over fundamental tax reform and we are going to have debates over fundamental health care reform. We should do so without the specter of the AMT hanging over this Chamber.
I urge my colleagues to repeal it in its entirety, right now, without raising taxes. You cannot be fiscally responsible without being fiscally honest. This phantom income should play no part in broader debates over tax reform. At the very least, we should not pass permanent tax hikes that would have ugly economic ramifications in order to pay for 1 year of AMT relief. We are putting off disaster 1 more year by doing that, at a cost of $50 billion in tax increases.
There are some ways we can do this. There are no good ways we can do this. But I know one thing, the worst way is to do it by increasing taxes to pay for it, and stifling the economy that has enough on its plate with the high cost of energy, to mention one item.
To go to approximately 24 million people from 155 people is more than absurd. That is where we are going. If we take this mother of all tax reforms seriously, and if we were able to pass that--and I hope we are not--I have to say there is going to be a great increase in taxes, a great stifling of the economy, and much more difficulty for this country in the coming years.
One reason I am giving these remarks is I know there are people on the Democratic side who do not like this, who are responsible and who do want to do what is right, who basically know there are no good options here. Raising taxes is one of the worst options we can do. I appeal to them to stand up now and not let this happen because if it does, this economy is going to pay a tremendous price. I think in the end, as bad as it will be no matter what we do, there are better ways of doing this than increasing taxes, doing it the way that has been suggested.

BT has confirmed preliminary plans to buy O2 as it looks to re-enter the mobile network space.
With British Telecom having shipped off the O2 brand – then known as BT Cellnet – back in 2005, the company has confirmed it is now in talks with Telefonica over reacquiring the bubbly network.
Although confirming its interest in an O2 buyout, BT has suggested any deal is still a long way off.
"All discussions are at a highly preliminary stage and there can be no certainty that any transaction will occur," the telecoms giant told the BBC.
Echoing BT's hesitant sentiments, a Telefonica spokesperson added: "Telefonica informs that, although it is in talks with British Telecom, these talks are in a highly preliminary phase and there is no certainty that a transaction will take place."
Despite revealing its interest in acquiring O2, BT has revealed it has also been approached about buying out the UK arm of another leading network provider.
Although having yet to discuss this third player by name, it has been widely reported that EE is the other network under consideration.
While BT sold Cellnet to Telefonica for £17.7 billion back in 2005, the Spanish company has been shipping a number of key assets over the past year in a bid to reduce its debts.
We have contacted BT for further comment and will update this post with further information as soon as we hear.

Three Characters Cut From 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire'
Reported by Outsiders - 2013.01.10
When the new director of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire says the new movie will be "very, very true to book." Sometimes this is not always best to hear when it involves characters from the previous movie. Entertainment Weekly spoke with director Francis Lawrence and how some of the characters will be getting the axe from book to screen.
The first set of cuts can be with Bonnie and Twill, the District 8 runaways Katniss stumbles upon in the woods who first alert her to both the rebellion she inadvertently sparked and the existence of District 13. Introducing District 13 has changed and the scene of Katniss scaling a tree and then leaping over District 12′s electrified fence has also changed with Bonnie and Twill gone.
The second set of cuts goes to Darius, District 12′s youngest peacekeeper who intervenes during Gales whipping and then sentenced to the life of an Avox.

On November 16th, the Climate Change Minister Greg Combet announced that the solar credits scheme will stop at the beginning of next year.
100,000 grid feed applications were lodged last month before QLD's Solar Bonus Scheme was reduced from 44 to 8¢ per kWh.
Since 1. July 2012 Energy retailers are required to contribute to the cost of the NSW Solar Bonus Scheme. As a result, voluntary feed-in tariffs are now under review.
From 10 July 2012 the Queensland Solar feed-in tariff will change from 44 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) to 8 cents per kWh for all new customers.
If your solar system or wind generator has been approved under the Solar Bonus Scheme it must be connected to the grid by 30/6/2012.
A micro-hydro system can produce sustainable power 24hrs a day, if you have a property that has a water course with a significant drop in height.
The Australian Energy Market Commission predicting a 42% increase in NSW retail electricity prices by 2014 due to the electricity networks being unprepared for the soaring peak demands.
South Australia's fire services have moved to correct a growing assumption about house fires at properties where solar power is installed.
Since the NSW Gov't came to power we have seen our industry decimated by indecision and a review that has ignored the broader benefits solar brings to our community.
Head to the NSW Liberal government website and you will find a strap line reading: "After 100 days in office we've shown we're a Government that delivers".
SEIA (Solar Energy Industries Association) have an online petition urging the NSW Government to reinstate a fair feed-in-tariff.
The Premier, Barry O'Farrell, has been forced into negotiations with the minor parties holding the balance of power in the upper house after a backlash against planned changes to the solar bonus scheme, with anger growing among his backbench before a party room meeting on Tuesday.
SOARING NSW power bills are partly due to flawed government regulation that encourages massive over-investment in towers and wires and pays inflated returns to state-owned electricity transmission and distribution companies, a report has found.
The NSW government has locked in a future with coal-fired electricity, flying in the face of its own policies.
Possibly the most outrageous public policy decision in a generation.

John Grimes, CEO of AuSES, interviewed about Solar Crisis Rally on Sky Business News
we are speaking to as we lead up to this rally – and beyond as we continue to lobby for the return of balance, a fair feed-in tariff for rooftop solar generated power in NSW and solar policy stability nationwide.
Claims being made in the media state that 'Solar Power will result in large increases to power bills'. Read the Australian Photovoltaics Association (APVA) response.

Overview of Bill The object of this Bill is to make the following changes with respect to the solar bonus scheme (being the scheme for the payment of electricity supplied to the network by small retail customers using complying generators):
People who order solar panels after midnight last night will receive only 20¢ a kilowatt hour for power generated, down from 60¢, throwing the solar industry into turmoil.

Computers have undergone major advancements in the recent years. The processing speed and computing capacity of the computers have increased tremendously. The technology is moving towards developing supercomputers that can execute at the highest operational speed know to us. High Performance Computing (HPC) refers to the development of such supercomputers that are capable of running advanced applications efficiently in a short span of time. It primarily makes use of parallel processing technique where a complex program is divided into smaller units which are executed by multiple processors.
A computer capable of high performance computing usually consists of numerous processors to increase the computing speed. The processors in supercomputers have two different paths.
· The computers will be distributed in various administrative domains and their processing power is utilized based on a computer's availability. This approach is usually followed in grid computing.
· Many computers are connected to one another and they work as a single system. They work like a computer cluster.
The history of HPC systems dates back many years ago, when the first supercomputer was released in 1960. The first super computer was designed by Seymour Cray at Control Data Corporation. He developed a simple innovative design based on parallelism to reach high operating speed. But, the coming years saw the rise of huge and complex parallel computers comprising thousands of microprocessors to deliver great computing speeds.
The main drawback of a HPC system is that it consumers huge amount of electricity. The energy consumed is turned into heat and you have to invest on cooling the system. So the main challenge is in developing a typical supercomputer that is energy efficient. The companies producing supercomputers are trying different tactics to overcome this hurdle.
The supercomputers are generally used for solving complex calculations like forecasting weather, research on nuclear energy and climate, analyzing the basic properties of chemical and biological compounds, fuel exploration, etc. These HPC computers will cost much if you want a powerful one. But nowadays, you get it on cloud computing services so that you can test its efficiency before making a huge investment on it.
The HPC systems are beneficial to businesses and society as a whole. It can contribute to the development of other powerful systems and new technologies. You can calculate at great speeds using a HPC system when compared to a normal computer. The program is executed quickly and you get the results in no time.
The HPC systems are designed with the aim of achieving the maximum capability in computing. They do not measure efficiency based on capacity to computer. There is a major difference between capability and capacity computing. In capability computing, the aim is to compute a single complex program at the fastest possible speed. That is, the time taken for execution is what measured to calculate efficiency. Capacity computing on the contrary refers to a system's ability to execute as many programs as possible.
HPC is used in various contexts:
· HPC is used to develop the external design of cars based on aerodynamic simulations.
· It helps in finding the right configuration for nuclear refueling.
· It is used to explore the availability of petroleum and oil.
· It is used to study various physical simulations
The applications of HTC systems are increasing and it is expected that their operating speeds will increase manifold times in the coming years.

This review is from: Tera Online Collector's Edition PC Game
Bottom line, buying 4 bank tabs with "ingame cash" costs more than $20
You get per server:
4 bank tabs
8 character slots
You get per character:
Blue horse mount
White lion mount
Lv15 Necklace
Lv40 Necklace
I wish it came with 1 month of 'elite' status, to try it out, which might draw me into re-subscribing. I would have paid more.
Other Thoughts:
Game is pretty fun, and you can do everything in the game for free, but it's a lot more fun with more than 1 bank tab & 2 character slots per server, and no mount at level 1! =)

Raees - Review
Crime drama from the 80s, songs like they are from the 90s, slickness and style from the 00s. And story like a thriller should be written.

Wogma Review
It is so heartening to see the actors on the top take a few risks and go a little away from the norm. None of the themes are new – be it a sports underdog, based on true life story in Dangal or a revenge thriller in Kaabil or a Robin Hood-esque hero taking on the world in Raees. But, they are decently written and don't have the typical formulaic trappings of Hindi films. Also, you see the stars try their best (even if they don't succeed 100%) to be the characters and not themselves. This is truly heartening.
Raees has Shah Rukh Khan play a ragpicker's son called Raees. He has aspirations to be a businessman. Not the suave, stylishly suited, city businessman. He aspires to run a profitable business using his uneducated but street-smart acumen. He wants to do no harm while making his profits. To make him the textbook Robin Hood, the said business has to be illegal, and so it is.
The challenges he faces and the solutions he comes up with make Raees an engaging 2+ hour watch. Every move he makes has a counter-move either by the involved politicians or the honest policeman (Nawazuddin Siddiqui). This makes the web complicated for Raees and claustrophobic for the audience who is egged to support him, even against the honest policeman.
This nexus isn't new to us. We have seen every "star" be a part of this nexus in more than one film. However, the actions and reactions amongst them are relentless through Raees and yet they aren't repetitive. The stakes get higher with each iteration. None of this makes you come to the edge-of-your-seat but you do find yourself taking sides and wondering what the next move will be. You see the ever-so-slight transitions in characters and yet they are consistent with what you would expect of the said character.
Shah Rukh Khan slips in and out of being Shah Rukh Khan, but he is more Raees than Shah Rukh Khan at most times. This is despite some very good yet "film-y" lines. It would have been so easy to get carried away and SRK-ise them. But there's restraint and that restraint doesn't glare at you in the face. The rest of the cast isn't gimmicky either.
The tribute to this genre of Hindi films from the 80s is obvious including the song placement. However, the style of songs reminded me more of those from 90s. Yet, neither of those are jarring as they were in their times because of the writing. Sure, there are loopholes and there are continuity jerks (especially in some of the action sequences). However, it is just a relief not to be taken completely for granted as the audience. It is a relief to see a formula film play around with the formula. For now, that is good enough.
Raees is very unlikely to have a lingering effect, but while you are watching it, you are 100% there. For now, that is good enough.

Raees is one of the gem in SRK's career. His performance is outstanding, especially when Raees is sad or in angry mode.
SRK does well on his part, however I would point this out that his expressions, dialogue delivery and mannerisms have become very repetitive now and somehow you do not see much variety in his approach towards different roles. Whether it is the Kabir Khan of CDI or the Jahangir Khan of Dear Zindagi or the Raees Alam of Raees or even the romantic Raj of DDLJ, SRK's mannerisms and expressions continue to remain within a limited domain. No doubt he's excelled within that domain but its all too repetitive now and as a viewer, even though I admire his acting skills I do find them very very predictable, irrespective of the character he's portraying.
Coming to the film, Raees is a predictable crime drama produced and narrated in a mass entertainer format that hardly offers anything entertaining barring its dialogues. Watch it if you have absolutely nothing else to do or are a die hard SRK fanatic whose idea of entertainment involves watching SRK walking in slow motion for over 120 minutes.
First half of the movie was good, second half of the movie was a total crap.
A bad movie. Nothing that you have never seen. A typical formula based plot.
I'm sorry but I've just lost all respect for this site after seeing this rating for another garbage SRK movie.

26 March 1944, Detroit, Michigan, USA. While still in high school Ross became the fourth and final member of the Primettes, who recorded for Lu-Pine in 1960, signed to Motown Records in 1961 and then changed their name to the Supremes. She was a backing vocalist on the groups early releases, until Motown boss Berry Gordy insisted that she become their lead singer, a role she retained for the next six years. In recognition of her prominent position in the Supremes, she received individual billing on all their releases from 1967 onwards. Throughout her final years with the group, Ross was being groomed for a solo career under the close personal supervision of Gordy, with whom she was rumoured to have romantic links. In late 1969, he announced that Ross would be leaving the Supremes, and she played her final concert with the group in January 1970. The same year, following the relative failure of Reach Out And Touch (Somebodys Hand), Ross began...

Alongside, Luke James, BJ the Chicago Kid and August Alsin, The-Dream catered to NY's Stage 48 last night as part of Def Jam's "Spotlight Live". Here's a recap courtesy of EME. In other news, Terius visited 106 & Park yesterday and revealed a few guests off IV Play, including Hov, Bey, Big Sean and Kelly Rowland. His return to The Breakfast Club below.
Tag: The-Dream
Now that The Dream and Fabolous have reunited, the tandem bring their collaboration to the small screen. Screw the DJ, ol' girl in the striped skirt could slow down an entire party. IV Play arrives May 28th.
Dream allows cameras on the set of his recent shoot with Fab. The video is on the way, but in the meantime, here's a quick clip on how it came together.
Even down in Austin for SXSW, Terius caters to his fans at home. Today, IDJ decides to treat us with his latest audio off his forthcoming, IV Play. LP drops May 7. Sidebar: "Parental Advisory" Mix by DJ Mick Boogie
The-Dream's Fourplay album is expected to arrive on May 7. Recently, he and his collaborator shot the video for its latest single. Here's a photo preview from Def Jam's tumblr.
Terius begins the Fourplay on May 7th. And for the first single, he reunites with Fabolous for a mid-tempo slow jam. Try this on your Valentine's Day playlist.
While conversing with Billboard backstage at the Grammys, Terius says he will be helping Kanye and Beyoncé on their next LPs. He also revealed the new title and release date for his very own. "May 7, my album drops and the name is 'Fourplay,'" he told Billboard. The album was previously called "Love IV" and set for a March release. He'll release the set's latest single, "Slow It Down," on Thursday.
During the acceptance speech for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration Grammy, Jay-Z thanked the local swap meet for The-Dream's kooky hat. Niggas fashion is weak—quit wasting all the models. UPDATE: The-Dream On The Roast
In anticipation for his 1977's commercial release next Tuesday, Terius brings relationship drama to the video screen for his duet with Casha. Damn, love used to be more simpler than this.
It's not easy being a single parent. And in 2 Chainz's new video, he depicts a mom working the pole to pay her way through school. More than likely, this is "Based On A T.R.U. Story" for real. Pick up the album here.

Among the findings I produced in my first thoughts item on the iPhone SE was how happy I had been to get rid of the camera fat of the iPhone 6/6s. It surely appeared to me that, within the iPhone 6, Apple was prioritizing an irrelevant little bit of additional thinness over a delightful style.
Accepting all of the iPhone 7 mockup pictures are correct, then Apple has smoothed out the sides about the forthcoming design. I actually do believe this can be a large development visually, and less inclined to catch when eliminating it from the wallet. Nevertheless when you place it-up from the iPhone SE, as TWE has been doing having a mock-up the website bought from China, it nevertheless appears to me the SE displays how it ought to be completed …
Certain, the phone needs to be slightly heavier to permit the present-era camera to sit down flush within the housing, but truly, who cares? The distinction thick between your iPhone 6s at 7.1mm and the iPhone SE at 7.6mm generally is half of a millimetre.
That requires italics, I think. Half of A millimetre. For that small distinction – a distinction nobody will discover if you don't place both down-side-by-side on the table, get your eye-level right down to the desk area and look difficult – Apple has sacrificed the sleek appearance of the phone. That appears to me an excellent disgrace.
What do you consider? May be the camera fat a cost worth spending money on a half-millimetre decrease in level? Or can you favour the phone slightly heavier to obtain a flush camera? Let's know within the remarks.
