Layered Feelings | Complicated Poet,Hopeless Dreamer,Restless Spirit,Romantic Cynic,Daydreaming Student,Crazy Sleepaholic,Musically Enamored,Misunderstood Soul...
I cried today, I haven’t cried in a while but I just got so overwhelmed and frustrated that the tears just fumbled out and I felt like I was going to stop breathing from everything that was racing inside of me. I sometimes wonder if I suffer from panic attacks, not as severe as some but for me when it happens it is due to me feeling a lack of control, dread, and fear and then I feel like I am suffocating and my breath gets shorter to the point I think I will pass out.
Usually, I can control myself from reaching that point but today I lost control and sunk into that miserable feeling of the world crashing down on me. It all started after I took my finance exam today, I could only miss 2.5 points on the exam to get an A, and I know I already missed 3 points and the professor said she wouldn’t curve the test. I left, and all I could think about was that test, my score, my final grade. I got overwhelmed and could not calm myself down. I was trying to let it go and wait till I see my final score, and I was doing okay until my sister called.
She asked me about it, and I didn’t really want to talk about it. I tried to explain to her the situation and in typical big sister fashion she just tried to feed me sympathetic lies of it will all be okay, don’t let it get to you, and whatever happens..happens. I could not get her to understand me, and all of a sudden I could feel the flow of tears rush through me, and at first it was just a few tears, but then I caved and cried so much I couldn’t even breathe.
I know, I know, I should not let a test make me so miserable, but can you try to put yourself in my shoes. If you were half a point away from an A, wouldn’t you want to cry your heart out knowing that you ended up with a B because your professor wouldn’t curve by half a point? I blame myself for not doing better, I blame myself for not being smarter, and I blame myself for not trying harder. I blame only myself for the situation I am in, but can you just try to understand me.
I feel like no one understands me but me. I try to explain myself to people and they only see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear. Do you know how frustrating it is to have a soul that needs to be freed but everyone is holding on to my chains. I feel contained in this life, this world, this body. I feel like I am suffocating and I am just so frustrated with myself the most.
So after I hung up with my sister, my mom called me not even five minutes later, I assumed my sister had called her saying I was crying like crazy ,but it turned out it was just a mother’s instinct and fate that she called when she did. I told her about it, and being my mom she told me that “an A would be nice because that is what you desire, but your life is not over if you get a B. There are some people who would love to get a B so don’t cry, don’t be sad, happiness is for you always.”
I love my mom, but those were not the words I wanted/needed to hear. I don’t really know what I needed someone to say. It is just that no one ever seems to say the right thing to make me wake up out of my funk. I guess sometimes we just have to let it sink in, cry if need be, and then hopefully be strong enough to move past it.
That last part is the hardest part to achieve. You see being able to move past something would be for me to let go of the fear, acknowledge what happened, and then formulate my next step. But I always get stuck on letting go of the fear. That fear inside of me is my personal demon. It is the shadow following my steps and I am unable to escape it. I have not learned how to control it to the point of letting it go. So many times in my life I have stopped short because I think about all the “what ifs” and “maybes” that come with that choice or decision.
God, I am such a coward. I have this life and I am refusing to live it because of things I cannot control. If I died today I would be leaving so much behind because I haven’t even taken those steps in the direction of my dreams. I hate myself for that, I despise this weakness inside of me that makes me question myself so much. I hate this debilitating feeling of not being able to just be, just breathe, just live. I get stuck inside of the tangle of my mind and lose sight of the door out.
I keep asking myself what do I really want in this life. How can I stop going around in circles and just find my direction? How can I stop being the same sad rag doll of a human and learn to embrace the person that I am and accept what I am not. How can I learn that my dreams don’t have to be limited by fear or reality, but that I deserve to dream a grand and beautiful dream. That I deserve to be happy.
Sometimes I think that I end up like this because I don’t have enough self-worth. That I don’t have enough faith in myself, in my dreams, in my existence. I feel lost because I haven’t found my purpose, my reason for living. I feel confined by society and what I think it wants from me. When it comes down to it I just don’t know; and not knowing makes me feel out of control, Feeling out of control makes me fearful, and feeling fearful makes me stop.
I don’t want to stop anymore, I want to keep going forward. I want to shake away all the cobwebs in my head and my heart and just run free, be free, and live free. I want/need to have my happiness in this world. I don’t want grandness but peace. I don’t want to be envious but content and satisfied. I want to wake up in the morning and know that what I do matters. That my existence matters my words matter, my heart matters. that I matter.
Sometimes I question that…if I matter. Some might say how can I say such a thing, but it is true. I wonder if I disappeared today what would I leave behind. I wonder if I left today who would search for me. I know it is silly thinking but I just wonder how much do I affect the people around me. I know that I matter but I guess I question how much. You see, sometimes I feel I give more of me away to people that they give to me. I feel like they matter more to me than I matter to them. I know it will never be equal but can’t it be closer.
I have this heart lying inside of me aching for someone to hear it beating. I guess maybe I want to be acknowledged the way I acknowledge others. I want to be thought about, remembered…I want to be a good memory to people. When, I think like this I feel selfish for wanting so much…but my soul is hungry for this feeling of being loved, needed, and wanted the way I love, need, and want others.
Words can not even fully describe this deepness inside of me. This well of feelings, thoughts, and emotions. I don’t want to feel like I am incomplete or inadequate. I want to feel complete and happy as I am and who I am becoming. I want to wake up and know in this world there is one person that knows who I am, acknowledges the layers in me, and sees me for who I truly am and not as I appear to be. I want to stop feeling alone among the crowd. I want to know that tomorrow when I open my eyes someone will be there watching over me, needing me, understanding me, and God, loving me.
I often wonder if I turned out this weird because of how I grew up, Do I seek the love that I lacked from someone who was supposed to love me aka my father. I often wonder if my story starts and ends with the fact that maybe I am still that little girl waiting to be pulled into the warmth and out of the darkness.
I just don’t know….I pray that even in the midst of this fog around me that the light continues to shine upon me giving hope that the clouds will clear and I will bask in the warmth of the sun as I stare up as the vastness of the sky.
If there was a song to describe me it would be Linkin Park’s
I hope in this world all the lost souls out there find their way, because I really don’t want the sadness of knowing there are so many like me…

You want wonderful things to such an extent that it seems like it almost overwhelms you because you have not achieved it yet, and perhaps things don’t look like they are heading exactly where you want them to.
In some ways it seems like it is making you very pessimistic which is very bad because you have such high expectations on what you want in life.
You value things like love, companionship, friendship, and being a positive impact on this world, in a very high regard. It makes your standards a bit different, but never let go of it.
I used to think my personal views were impractical, and that maybe I should just settle for a different life, but then I realized that I would rather endure the hardships that come with searching for what I believe I truly want, then to settle for anything less than what I want.
Getting a B is not the end of the world, you have already heard this. Yea you put effort into getting an A, but this is only a fraction of your lifetime, don’t let it make you sad.
Life is really short, try to fill it with as many happy moments as possible, don’t you deserve that for yourself? Also, that dream lover of yours, don’t you want to be as happy, positive, and beautiful as you can be for him emotionally, when he does finally get the honor of sharing a life with you?
I doubt I helped at all, I apologize if I did not, or if I somehow made things worse. I almost feel out of my element when I respond in your blog, because you write so elegantly and I know my writing is pretty crappy lol. Plus it’s 5am I probably have no idea what the heck I am saying.

Thank you for always responding to my blogs! It doesn’t really matter how your write since everyone has their own style…sometimes simplicity can be even more elegant than tangled up words.
I’m still a little bit worried about the class…but I think that was only the surface of what was wrong with me. Yesterday was an emotional day for many reasons.
Your right though that life is short and that I should do my best to be as happy as possible. You would think being happy is an easy thing to do but it’s pretty hard.

Well when you have high expectations you are never satisfied. What you need to do is come to peace with the fact that those expectations haven’t been met, but that it is ok that they aren’t met, as long as you are progressively working towards them. :)

True..my mom said to me yesterday that all those truly successful individuals out there all had struggles and failures before they reached the point they are at now. Nothing worth having is ever going to be easy and that I should realize that doing my best in more than enough because what more can you do that that….moms are great.
Growing up and becoming myself is supposed to be a journey…sometimes I think I get stuck on my destination and forget to enjoy the ride.
tsunamiblues said this on	May 15, 2008 at 7:09 AM | Reply
“I get stuck on my destination and forget to enjoy the ride” that’s exactly what happens to me. You obviously don’t know who I am, but I found your blog on google by searching for grey’s anatomy quotes and here I am. I’m from Brazil and I really didn’t expected to read something written by other person that’s exactly what passes through my mind.
When I got in my new school I was so optimistic and I studied so hard and got good grades despite the fights at home that I didn’t want to get envolved and kept my thoughts for myself so I wouldn’t have one more thing to worry about. But these feelings I locked up inside turned up to make me feel sick and sad and they’d led me to a shrink that recently told me I’m a quitter (opinion which was confirmed when I asked some other people.. nice huh?). So I kinda lost my reason to study so hard like I used to, and I just lock myself in my room and watch tv shows all day long. I kinda lost my reason to live. It may sound deep or stupid, but I can’t find that optimistic person anymore. People around me make me create so many expectations that end up not coming true that I just lost my will to go for it and I really want to get it back.
I’m sorry for talking so much, I just wanted to let you know that someone else knows how it feels.
e-mail me :) (if you wish it)

Being human, it ain’t easy. We have all these things that define us as we grow up, and as we become adults these things are not always good for us. Certain behaviors, certain thought systems, certain impulses. I for one liked to pity myself when things went awry, knowing deep down inside that such things were not important, but kept on with it because it gave me a sense of self satisfaction. I got a tingle out of my own self imposed suffering. It’s a vicious circle, a negative feedback cycle in which one is wounded emotionally then suckles devious joy from that suffering.
In truth, there ain’t nothing nobody can do about this. It’s in your head. One day it’ll all click and you will know what you need to do. In the meanwhile all one needs to do is struggle against yourself, against the waves of thought that pull yourself down.
What I did was get a hobby, a healthy obsession you’re able to lose yourself in for hours. It was reading, then drawing, then magic. These days it’s contact juggling. It’s a form of mediation, in which you drive away the devil with rote action.
Keep in mind, you won’t ever be happy if you strive to do all things you do to gain the admiration of your peers. That will fail, always. For an action to gain substance and personal meaning, it’s to be done for yourself.

That was totally my day yesterday.
I got a phonecall from my mother, and I just cried. I just feel so frustrated all the time and just want to be wanted.
guess it’s nice to know other people feel the same way.

Opportunities to exchange different kinds of pieces come up all the time in a game of chess. To determine whether or not a given exchange is favorable, the following system is widely used. A pawn is given a value of 1 point, and the other pieces are given values in terms of approximately how many pawns they are worth. These values are: knight 3, bishop 3, rook 5, queen 9. A king, of course, is priceless (its "combat" effectiveness, though, is a little better than a knight's).
In reality, piece values vary with the position and the stage of the game. The above values are fairly accurate for endgames, where a rook is generally equal to a minor piece and two pawns; but in the opening and middle game, a rook is worth only about a pawn more than a minor piece. Bishops are better than knights in most endgame positions and in middle games with open lines, while knights are superior in closed, blockaded positions or when all the pawns are on one side of the board. A knight supported by a pawn on an advanced outpost (fifth or sixth rank) from which it cannot be driven away by a pawn or other minor piece has a value close to that of a rook.
In the opening and middle game, center pawns are the most valuable and pawns on the edges the least valuable. A doubled pawn is worth less than two ordinary pawns, and often becomes a target for attack. A passed pawn has extra value, which increases dramatically the farther it advances: As a rule of thumb, when it is supported and safe from capture, a passed pawn is worth about a minor piece on the sixth rank and a rook on the seventh rank.
Material, or force, is only one measure of a player's assets in a position. Two other important measures are time and space.
In this position, White is a knight behind but is far ahead in development. White has gained several tempi over black--a tempo being a unit of time equal to one move. White has good prospects despite having one fewer piece.
In the following position, White has another kind of advantage: space. The black pieces have only two or three ranks on which to maneuver, while the white forces have four or five. This means more limited options for Black, and a more difficult position to play.
Force, time, and space can be converted into one another. A common tactic, for example, is to give up a pawn to gain time--that is, while the opponent spends two or three moves capturing the pawn and getting his piece that made the capture back to safety, a player may be able to move his or her pieces to better squares and build an attack.

Support 1st Way : 1st Way Needs Volunteers- Join us!
1st Way Needs Volunteers- Join us!
When I volunteered for 1st Way of Eugene, I found it to be a mind-expanding and heart-expanding experience.
I didn't know that much about pregnancy or pro-life issues. I remember the day Terry hired me, she stacked my arms up with brochures and articles and said, "Take this home and read this!" Of course, she didn't mean to read it all at once. She only wanted me to have the resources I needed to counsel women who had questions, and that learning still continues to this day.
Part of my training was simply to answer questions- never to give unsolicited education or information. Working there, I was happy to see that fellow counselors were warm and positive and just trying to find ways to be helpful. No family support? Financial struggles? Healthcare concerns? How can we connect women to the resources they need? How can we be there for her when she is scared and upset and just wants someone to talk to? How can we help make her life a little better?
Being a crisis pregnancy counselor at 1st Way is about being an educator when women have questions. Working for 1st Way was also heart-expanding for me. I saw some happy women who realized it was possible to find resources they needed to carry their babies to term. I loved putting together layettes for new mothers and getting to know people.
Being a volunteer at 1st Way is only a three hour commitment per week and all training is provided. I knew nothing when I started and now I can't seem to learn enough information. It's really satisfying to know that you are serving the needs of pregnant women and their unborn babies. Ultimately, you don't know the decision she will make when she walks out the door. But, you will know that you told her the truth and showed her it is possible to find life-affirming ways to cope with unplanned pregnancy.

So Long New York | Mr. Barr
It’s snowing in New York City right now. I found this image on a friends Facebook page (thx Peter T) and I just love the way it captures the city. My partner and I took an apartment a year ago in New York City and the last year has been a blast, from decorating a small urban space to discovering restaurants, museums, and parks it has been an unforgettable year. I have to say stepping into a new dining establishment and soaking in the good design and sumptuous food is the thing i will miss the most. New York City is a dining Disneyland, imagine it and it exists somewhere on the island. Here is an image of Matsuri (I’ve blogged about Matsuri before) so, so beautiful! and food so good!
Here is a very brief of some of my “always good, always beautiful” spots in New York: Matsuri – Red Cat – Balthazar – Cafe’ Luxembourg – DBGB – Cookshop – Co. (company) – The Fat Radish – Colicchio & Sons …all of them wonderful.
The other thing I will miss is the fashion. People dress in New York, and by that don’t mean they are always formally attired, I simply men that attention is paid to the “look of the day” be it Preppy Gangster, Bohemian Banker, Yoga Momma, or “I only wear black”. New York is a parade of good and interesting fashion. Trends are definitely cultivated in the Big Apple and designers pack the skyscrapers here all hoping to be the next big thing… when they say New York is the center of the universe they really aren’t kidding. So much of what America and the world consume is designed here, maybe not all made here, but designed and then devoured by the chic masses. I have always enjoyed getting dressed but after my year in New York, I have a heightened appreciation for having the right outfit on and feeling good in my clothes.

Oxford Wedding and Lifestyle photographer - JUDI CHECKETTS : Natalie & Mark's Engagement Shoot, Stanton Park at Stanton Fitzwarren nr Swindon
Natalie & Mark's Engagement Shoot, Stanton Park at Stanton Fitzwarren nr Swindon
Last week I posted a feature on Spittlebrough Wedding Fayre and announced the winners of the engagement shoot competition - Natalie and Mark. We arranged their shoot at Stanton Park close to the Stanton House Hotel (handy for lunch afterwards!) in Stanton Fitzwarren just north of Swindon on what turned out to be one of the hottest days of the year this summer. Fortunately there was plenty of shade where we could cool off and we got some great shots of the two of them. I'm hugely excited to announce that following their shoot they have booked me for their wedding next year - I can't wait!

Olympics Beijing 2008 Unit Study Helps « G-Force Academy
Olympics Beijing 2008 Unit Study Helps
Our family is counting down the days for the Olympics. This worldwide event provides a great family time for patriotism and educational fun. The entire family can enjoy PE, biographies, Math, Arts, and Social Studies, all while making memories. I hope my ideas help you make the most of this year’s Olympics
GO USA! Monica
Here are some fun things you can do with your family:
Kick off your family fun with an Olympic opening ceremony pajama party!
Design an Olympics poster. You can use poster board or add an 81/2 x 11 size sheet of paper everyday highlighting what you learned and the events you enjoyed. As the days go by you can tape them together and enjoy watching your Mini poster grow into a beautiful mural showcasing all the fun you had learning together.
Make a travel brochure of China. Research online and at the library to include facts and images. This can be done on the computer or have the younger ones cut out images printed from the computer.
Make a postcard from each country represented at the Olympics. You can use half a sheet of cardstock for this and actually mail them out to friends and family telling them what you learned about the country.
Look up missionaries from China and pray for them and send them your postcards or make letters or cards telling them what you have learned and that your family is praying for them.
Make flags out of construction paper for each country represented and hang on string for all to see. You can quiz the kids on which country each flag is from.
Read Eric Lidell’s biography and then watch Chariots of Fire on DVD. Coincidently he ministered in China. How cool is that?! Watch Mulan, the Disney Classic Folk tale.
Make an Olympics notebook. Have the kids design the cover with the logo or anything they desire that depicts the Olympics (below are some facts on the logo, slogan, etc., include those in your notebook too.
Make the kids gold medals to wear if the USA wins an event. Here is a picture of my littles having breakfast wearing the medals, proud to be Americans. We always stand and sing the anthem for the USA too Notebooking the Olympics: take pictures of the fun and include them in your notebook, cut out articles and images form magazines and newspaper and share all the Olympic news with dad at dinner time. Then add your favorite headlines and images to your notebook. You may also use the internet for the latest news and follow-ups for the previous days events. Use the Olympics official website. Create a chart to graph the different sporting events and each teams progress an include in you notebook. Make a page for each sport and highlight the winner and the country he represents. Make a page of each country represented at the Olympics. Have a special section highlighting China. Order Chinese take-out for dinner and eat watching the events. Or better yet make your own Chinese food. Or as you learn about the different countries try some of their recipes.
Visit an Oriental Market and talk to natives ask them questions about there favorite places in china or favorite foods to eat. Buy some treats to make at home or maybe a trinket or two to remember the field trip. Visit Disney’s Epcot China pavilion. Watch their 360 degree movie and talk to Chinese cas tmembers. Have them write you name in Chinese. Try the food and pick up a treat and their various food venues to eat while you watch their special native performances. Don’t forget to take pictures!
Visit your library and look up books about the Olympics and China. Mold clay models of your favorite athlete or sport.
Draw or paint (get creative use chalk, pastels, watercolors) your favorite sport or athlete
But plain t-shirts oversized for everyone and iron-on the Olympics logo and wear them while you watch. We like doing this as pajama shirts.
Create a mural and add to it every day. You can use a roll of butcher paper or you can buy rolls of paper at a teacher store. It can also be a collage of drawings, words that are being learned, and cut-out pictures. Make sure siblings don’t mess with each other’s additions. Take a picture of all you do and include in your notebook
Try out the different sports. We enjoyed watching volleyball last Olympics but didn’t have a ball or net so we used balloons and our coffee table was the net. It’s what we remember best
End of Olympics Bash: Have friends over for a Wacky Olympics(see below for ideas) or have a World Travel Night. Share all you’ve learned and of course a sampling of your favorite treats from the countries you’ve studied. Below are links for even more ideas to make the Olympics a family tradition. Olympics Online and TV:
The Olympics are something that the family can enjoy together on tv and online. Have an early dinner, slip into your jammies and enjoy the opening ceremonies on August 8th at (article below). Visit some of the websites below and print out some coloring pages and activity sheets for the kids to do while you watch. Here are some patriotic crafts and activities to make your home USA’s Olympic central. Our family will have a blanket pajama party, start our mural, make some flags and of course share some yummy snacks while we watch the opening ceremonies. Make some memories! GO USA!

by PE Central: http://www.pecentral.org/ Here are some stations that I used for my field day at Allen Avenue Elementary School (K-4). The students and teachers really enjoyed the stations. All children received a ribbon at the beginning of the day, exclaiming: “Everyone is a winner at Allen Ave!” “GREECE – OLYMPIC TORCH RELAY RACE” Students line up in two teams with the first person from each team standing inside a starting hoop. Give these two students a “torch”- a plunger. On the signal to begin, the two students will run to the cone and run back. They will hand the torch to the next student in line who will then run to the cone and back. This will continue as above until all team members have had a turn. Equipment needed: Event sign, 2 Toilet Plungers , 2 large orange cones. “CHINA – DRAGON RACE” Students line up in three teams with the first person from each team standing inside a starting hoop. Give every student a decorated hoop and a cup. On the signal to begin, the students will fill their cups with water and run to the five gallon bucket. Students will dump the contents of the cup into the bucket, give the next student in line the hoop and cup and go to the end of the line. Play will continue until all students have gone (with each team having equal turns). A measurement will be taken with the yardstick when all students have completed the relay. The team with the most water in their bucket will be declared the winners. Equipment needed: Event sign, 3 hula hoops with paper (dragon tail),3 large buckets filled with water, 3 empty buckets, 3 plastic cups, and a yard stick. “JAMAICA’S JAVELIN THROW” The first five students stand behind the line and throw their “Javelins” (Fun Noodles) one person at a time. You may use a student to watch to see that no student steps over the line. Students may throw their javelins any way they wish. Have the next five students continue as described above and so forth until all have a turn. Equipment needed: Event sign, 5 Javelins (5 Fun Noodles) “IRELAND’S POTATO RACE” Students line up in three teams with the first person from each team standing on a poly spot. Give these two students a hockey stick and a potato. On the signal to begin, these students will use the hockey stick to move the potato around the cone and back to the start where they will hand their hockey stick to the next player in line. This will continue as above until all team members have had a turn. Equipment needed: Event sign, 3 plastic hockey sticks, 3 large orange cones, small bag of baking potatoes. “JAPAN’S CHOP STICK RELAY” Students line up in three teams with the first person from each team standing on a poly spot. Give the first student in line two “chopsticks” (rhythm sticks). On the signal to begin, the first student will pick up the rubber chicken from inside the hoop using only the chopsticks. (They may not use hands or stick the chop stick inside the chicken). They will have to bring the chicken down to their stir fry pan, then return the sticks to the next student in line, who then goes to the pan and must bring the chicken back to the group and the process continues until everyone has had a turn. Equipment needed: Event sign, 3 hula hoops, 3 rubber chickens, and 2 chopsticks per line, 3 stir fry pans “ITALY’S PASTA RELAY” Students will line up in three equal lines and the first person in each line will receive a piece of string. They will run down to their teams bucket (which is filled with green, red, and white colored pasta) and take out one green piece of pasta, and thread it on to the string and return to the line. The next student runs to the bucket and strings a white piece of pasta and runs back to the line. The relay continues until a line has completed their team necklace in a Green, White, and Red order. Equipment needed: 3 poly spots, 3 containers, green, white, and red pasta (A few days before the field day….dye 1/3 of ziti RED, 1/3 of ziti GREEN, and 1/3 ziti natural color and mix in a bucket)pasta, string “SWEDEN’S STAR BALL RACE” Students will line up in two equal lines, the first person in each line is given a star ball. The ball must be passed over the head of the first student and under the legs of the second student, then over the head of the third student …keeping this pattern until the ball reaches the end of the line. Then, the last person in line runs with the star ball to the front of the line and the pattern begins again. Equipment needed: 2 star balls (any ball will do), 2 poly spots, 2 cones “PORTUGAL’S POPCORN MACHINE” All students will find a piece of the “machine” (parachute) to hold on to, and practice making big waves. When the children are ready, the volunteers will add the popcorn (white yarn balls). The harder the children shake the “machine” the more “popcorn” will be added. Equipment needed: 1 parachute, yarn balls “AUSTRALIA’S ACTIVITY TUBE RELAY” Students will get into three equal lines. The first person in each line will receive a activity tube and a tennis ball. The tennis ball is placed top of the tube, and the first person runs down and around the cone. When he/ she returns to the line, they will give it to the next person who will do the same thing. If the ball is dropped, the student must stop, and place the ball back on top before continuing. Equipment needed: 3 PCV tubes, 3 tennis balls, 3 cones, 3 poly spots “JUICE STATION” Students will be able to get a drink of juice, and rest in the shade. Equipment needed: Juice mix, container, ice, table, cups, trash can More from PE Central: Bulletin boards to inspire your murals*

The Get Justice Coalition: April 2020
Jeff Bezos, “Dr. Evil”?
Photo of Jeff Bezos and a story [found here]
Amazon might be hosting all sorts of servers so the Alphabet Agencies can spy on Americans and the World. Bezos is given an unfair advantage. Your tax dollars are making this tyrant richer, are you okay with this?
Do you have a device such as Alexa, Surri (sp?), and similar. Most smart televisions have a remote with microphone. Your smartphone is giving up your GPS coordinates, whomever is in proximity, and other devices such as GPS, your car’s Bluetooth, and anything within range is metadata that is being scooped up. A map of who you are near, where you go, and the most minute detail of what you do is part of Bezos’ are of Artificial Intelligence offered to the Spy Tech Agencies.
Who you might “vote” for is being gamed by this Artificial Intelligence.
Barack Obama turned over shepherdship of the internet over to the UN. What political party and do the UN prefer to be “in power” in the US? Well, the next election can all be gamed in 2020 if these platforms are the ones in control of tracking all of you out there in real time.
Any potential leaders can be targeted, and eliminated before they even know themselves of their potential. Useful tools for the Surveillance Grid of psychopaths can be identified and server loads of blackmail material can be assembled in real time, or it is possible for the systems to go back in time for what has been on the internet, done on cellphones and other devices.
You can be set up for arrests and prison time for something you didn’t even do 8, 12, 20 years ago. Evidence and records can be manufactured or conveniently memory holed.
Should Bezos be brought up on charges and face prosecution with the judges replaced with a People’s Grand Jury?
I post music that I listen while writing, my thoughts on China, Vietnam, the current situation that China is depriving 4 nations of water from the Mekong Delta, COVID-19 Coronavirus, UN Agenda 21, and my thoughts on maybe witnessing local Police Chiefs meet a B-52 at Westover AFB in Chicopee Massachusetts in 1968 to pickup Marijuana and Heroin from Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and/or Thailand to place in the trunks of their cars to distribute to police officers to then distribute to their preferred local drug dealers to sell in mostly Black downtown neighborhoods?

November | 2007 | Business advice
Stop trying to convince yourself or anyone else that you can run a business without a budget. I am still running across ecommerce sites claiming they can’t pay for services because they are start-ups.
Business costs cash to work and grow, or lines of credit if available. Initially, you may have access to resources that make the job easier. Magazines have been started with college interns, Kinkos for presentation and pasted up dummies to present to advertisers.
Ecommerce became a buzz word around the time of 911. Somewhere, somehow the word was spread that all you needed to start a business was a website. If you already had a Net hookup and taught yourself web design, then you are on your way. The proper retort to that statement is: well, maybe.
We also have to consider Microsoft’s beginnings along with Apple and others of their time. Many read the story and think, if someone else can do it so can I. The aforementioned examples are the exception to the rule. These startups, along with similar ones, had products the world seemingly had been waiting for. They had the product and the timing. They also had more than the usual dose of luck.
Ok, maybe you have your site up. You have learned how to use a digital camera and you are showing off handmade items you and your friends make as a hobby. Ok, let’s stop here. Even if you manage to pass around business cards and chat this up enough so that you start getting orders, then what. It’s all fine and good when the items are sitting on your kitchen table – they have to be shipped. Who is going to do the packaging, the record keeping and the shipping? All of this costs money. Your family members are eventually going to tire of staying up all night doing these tasks.
After your initial inventory is gone, what now? Your friends are going to tire of working around the clock for additional orders. You will need a Plan B for additional production. There are hobbyists that wouldn’t mind making some extra dough. However, this requires a budget .
There are others who think they can start a magazine or a newsletter without money because they only view it as ‘something’ they are going to post on the Net. Things don’t go well unless you can pay the writers to produce and pay for marketing to get traffic coming to your site. We all know about Google ads, but they don’t do you any good unless you have a good number of daily visitors. It’s takes, patience and yes, money to make that happen.
Time and again alleged publication entrepreneurs solicit writers telling them they are a start-up so they can’t pay. This should never be the writers’ problem. It is unethical to ask someone else to take on your problems. If you want someone to produce anything for free, then you offer them a percentage of your business once it is up and running.
There is, however, nothing wrong with the concept of having a test run. Sell a small mix of products and you then have the numbers to prove to potential investors that you have a waiting market.
Another misconception that the Net seems to have sprouted: you get a great idea and folks are going to come running ready to buy. The field of dreams concept works only in baseball. You cannot sell or advertise an idea unless you are another one of the thousands of scam artists using the Net.
Make a plan. Try a test run if you have the resources. Then expand your business plan and start shopping it around. I attended a session of SCORE years ago and I was covering their advice program for a local newspaper. They allowed me to sit on a couple of their interviews. Their reasoning was basic. What have you got? What’s the idea? How have you tried to market it? What are your projections for sales? How much of your own money have your already put in to it? They would either advise them to go back and do some more work on their business plans or recommend possible funding choices.
Guess what folks? This common sense still holds 20 years later. If you think it doesn’t, you are in for a very frustrating time.
For further examples of my work: http://www.bellbusinessreport.com
Foreclosures: why?
I was checking on the latest oped additions to the New York Times and ran across the oddest article. Well, at least I thought it was odd. The rest of the country’s liberals will probably cry a few tears over it. The author predicted the expectation of over two million foreclosures next year. He inferred the whole problem was tied to the sub-prime loans, but I have my doubts.
He had a discussion with an elderly woman facing the loss of her home because of a refinancing mortgage she couldn’t keep up with. She lamented that she was going to ‘lose her home.’ Apparently, no one ever informed he the home still belonged to the bank.
I am not going to argue that the explosion of the sub-prime mortgages has not created a mess that the world is scrambling to clean up. But, there is more to this. There wouldn’t be a problem this big if there common sense was being used in the realm of buying and selling real property.
The real estate bubble has been in the process of bursting for quite awhile. The world chose to stay in denial. Prices weren’t increasing as fast and homes were staying on the market. Along came sub-prime loans. And, that’s not all. I recently learned that a young woman I knew had gotten a loan a couple of years back requiring no down because she had a good credit rating at the time. She and her husband are now behind in their payments.
Nonsense has prevailed. Loans made with higher rates; loans with no money down, loans with variable rates, those with balloon payments are all ticking bombs. The goal seemed to be to put folks in homes no matter what. They had bad credit. There was a hope they would stay in the home, make payments and increase their credit rating. Well, folks with bad credit have a tendency to be poor at managing their finances. Bad habits die hard. Shock oh shock when a few years into the loan, the payments are either late or missed.
Easy-to-get-loans for those with questionable credit along with the decrease in prices are two sticks of dynamite rubbing together. Then, there are the loans that were made for those with good credit that didn’t demand down payments. This put people into homes without being able to achieve any equity for many years. That provides a situation where owners are going to be just that quicker to walk away from the dwelling they once imagined to be their home. Without any equity, you are also left without any leverage when it comes to any chance to refinance. The only thing you are left for years is a mortgage and a roof over your head which could disappear if there is a blip in your cash flow.
Deals without equity are not new. This began in this generation about the time I started covering real estate in the early 80s. Prices have inflated so high along with interest rates, owners were sitting on properties that couldn’t be moved for love nor money. Owners and brokers came up with a way to get that title transferred. It was known then as wrap-around-mortgages. In many instances the sellers held the paper until a second could be paid off. The seller in those instances was choosing a monthly payment in lieu of being stuck in a property they no longer wanted. Variations of this craziness have been going on ever since.
Increased pressure/regulation is needed on every person involved in real estate deals. This includes agents, brokers, escrow trustees, mortgage brokers/bankers all the way down to the appraisers. Each of these individuals makes money every time a deal closes. They have a vested interest to go along with the flow. It is obvious by now that no one has the guts to stand up and shout: “…this is a risky deal.” If someone opened his/her mouth then they would not only lose out on that deal, but future deals would go elsewhere. The whole industry needs to be called into question.
Congress is arguing over what they are going to do to bailout this mess. The California Governor is also putting his two cents into the mix. It is going to take awhile to unravel. Those involved in the real estate industry can certainly feel the pressure to wise up and put together less risky deals. They will eventually get tired of reading about themselves in the paper.
There are also the consumers willingly sign anything put in front of them if it means getting what they want. Want to take that route? Then, don’t whine when the foreclosure notices come in the mail.

Filed under: Business Advice | Tags: Fed, inflation, interest rates, recession
It appears folks are worried about the latest Fed’s actions and so much so that there was a question about it recently on Linkedin. That’s what gave me cause to think about it again so soon.
Lowering the discount rate is one of the three ways the Fed has to increase the money supply. The others include buying outstanding T-bills from consumers and lowering the percent banks have to keep on deposit, thus allowing them to lend more.
The writer on Linkedin was worrying, prematurely, that now there was more money in circulation there would be an immediate push to increase our inflation rate. He had a mother on social security and was projecting troubles that would impact her ability to pay her bills.
Reactions to changes in the economy tend to provoke citizens who like to find things to worry about. Unfortunately, many are big traders on Wall Street and tend to do more damage than those of us sitting on the sidelines.
This man’s worry boils down his belief that more money in the money supply automatically creates an inflationary reaction – a rise in prices. Ok, let’s take a breather here. First off, nothing like that happens immediately. Secondly, economists never have been able to agree on what causes inflation or in some cases, what it is.
The Fed’s reasoning for their lowering the Discount rate is their concern over the fallout and continued postulating about the troubles related to the sub-prime mortgage fallout. If they hadn’t lowered the rates, it could have meant a continued slowdown in the economy. This means that both consumers and investors start to think twice before either spending, borrowing or investing. These actions will push a slowing economy into a recession if the effects last long enough.
The Fed is well aware of this. This doesn’t mean that their actions have averted a disaster from this mess. England’s economy is also suffering since their mortgage brokers, or what they are called in the United Kingdom, were also horsing around in the land of stupidity when it comes to granting mortgages. Do not place the blame on any one party when it comes to this. All consumers are not so stupid that they are going to sign on the bottom line no matter what. There has to be an equal share of this nonsense. Let’s hope that mortgages brokers, and all those involved in the industry, will return to some sense of sanity.
However, if the Fed hadn’t acted, there would have been a slowdown on: hiring, expanding new business, shopping at the end of the year and trading on Wall Street. A slowdown means less for everyone and a hard row to hoe for awhile. The recession of the early 90s cost me an inheritance as it was all I had to live on. I know no one wants to see a rehash of that time.
Let’s go back to inflation worries. There are those who will swear on a stack of Bibles that if there is more money floating around, it means sellers are immediately going to sense an alleged willingness to spend more of that money on their products. Over the long haul, a decade for instance, this might be true, but it is not a current threat.
And, for those who haven’t been watching because they send someone else to do their shopping, a rise in prices has been around for awhile. Grocery increases are killing my limited income. I don’t know about yours. I went to buy hamburger meat the other day and almost fainted at sticker shock.
However, a rise in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) the current accepted definition of inflation, means there will be continued growth. Folks will buy more and investors will build. I checked the latest CPI figures and they are currently around the .4 percent level monthly. Unless this increases, I wouldn’t be that worried.
It’s the Fed’s job to try and maneuver the economy’s oars so we don’t float too far into a downturn or too far into increased prices. It’s is a mighty sticky proposition.
My new roommate cut off AT&T when a new offer came along. She soon learned she spent more time with customer service than she ever did previously. She switched back when a new package-deal came along.
Consumers are not the only guilty ones. Employers tend to look for the cheapest hire on the block. They are looking only at the short term bookkeeping, never considering that keeping that person and training is going to cost more than a decently qualified hire would have to begin with.
The only way to get around the “I gotcha” that is coming down the road is to understand the consequences of the decisions you make today.
Two well-known managers in different industries grasped this concept. Henry Ford, back in the day, didn’t want to have to deal with Unions. He raised wages and lowered working hours. He only gave in to Unions because his wife threatened to leave him if we didn’t. But bottom line, he saw the benefits of paying his workers more. He cost him less in the long run, despite having a fussy spouse.
Back in the early days of the Los Angeles Times, the unions were bound and determined to get their foot in the door. That’s the main reason their wages were higher than other newspapers because the publisher didn’t want the workers to feel the need.
Those industry leaders knew the value of looking at the long run consequences of their decisions. Hopefully, you can get a few ideas and change your thinking.
Bargain stores, such as the Dollar and 99 cents store are a great lure for consumers. What many don’t realize as they are plucking in those dollar bargains is they are going to have to come back three and four times to get the same amount they would have paid for half in the regular store. Shop there, but know your pricing.
Be a careful shopper at so-called Christmas sales. Many times, newscasters talk about the after-Christmas sales informing the consumers that they made bad decisions after the fact. A sale is not always a sale.
Offering a cheap price for a service when starting out is fine. Keep your pricing too low for too long and you will have your customer’s wondering why you are not in sync with the rest of the market. Make sure you get some extra perks.(This changes the overall price you are actually earning.) My marketing prof told the story of the gardening service that Jet Propulsion Laboratory hired. Their price was undercut to gain that contract. He asked the chief guy why. The owner answered, “simple.” “I get to use your name on my list of customers. I can’t buy better publicity.”
Learn not to make impulsive pricing decisions, whether buying consumers goods or pricing your services or hunting for manpower. Think of all the consequences before signing on the dotted line.

Red State Conservative: Misunderestimating Obama
Misunderestimating Obama
I have misunderestimated Obama. His latest plan is brilliant and most people don't see it.
Now that he has the lower class and lower middle class unemployed and groveling at his feet for breadcrumbs, now he is going to institute Phase 2 - take money from the very people who can put the other people back to work. What a great strategery! Let's drive this country into a deep, prolonged recession.
In times of deep recession or depression, people turn to movies and comedy for relief. Thank God Obama picked Joe Biden to be Veep. He is the best comic relief I've seen in years. I would like to find out more about him. Does anyone know his web site number?

Posted in lost in thoughts	by dandelionsinwind
I wish I could read the minds of people. .Not that I am perfect and talented in every field ,I can’t sing perfectly . My voice is not sweet at all it’s somewhat husky..so my songs would only please me.. In fact it may be labelled as noise pollution ..so I don’t dare to sing when some one is around.. 😳 I am a clumsy dancer ..so I should have wished for these talents. During most of the functions in college I am destined to be among the audience due to the lack of these necessary talents. You know people admire such talents and the gifted person also . I do!!
If I have a chance to choose 1 talent that I don’t have then it would be reading people’s mind ..yes and no one has that talent..How cool that would be.. Some people twist my words to what they wish to hear,So if I can read their minds..then when they start twistiing my views, making different meaning out of them, then I can say ‘Hey stop I dint mean so!..I can confidently give opinions without the fear of what the other person will be thinking of me..(sometime I am too conscious of whether my talks are in some way offending the other person). It would be easier to identify the true face behind that fake smile..Ofcourse some surprises will be lost..but hey everything comes with a price..Here comes the best ..that guy I have a crush on hahha I can read his mind.. 😆 There can be many more pros for this talent…but at the time my rusty brain gives me only these pros….

permalinkparent[–]Magnora 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago (3 children)sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onI see, that makes sense, thanks. So what would the solution be?

This can be done at runtime using an automated script. General rule of thumb is not to include anything on the page that's not needed for the functionality of that page.
permalinkparent[–]Magnora 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago (1 child)sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onOh, I see... so the runtime script basically creates a package of only the JavaScript files that are actually used within the file, and sends that package as a single file to the end user making the request? So you only get 1 http request and only 1 file to transfer, but you get a customized package for every web page based on what JS files it needs? Did I get that right? What's this thing called?
Sorry I have a million questions, I just find this all pretty interesting. permalinkparent[–]Spektr44 4 points5 points6 points 11 months ago (0 children)sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onThat's right. Think about it this way: you view a single web page, which has 14 images, 6 javascript files and 3 stylesheets. That single page is actually causing 1 + 14 + 6 + 3 = 24 hits to the server. Ten people loading the page is 240 hits to the server. This is not efficient, your site can be perceived as slow-loading, and your server is more easily bogged down as web traffic increases. There are techniques to mitigate this.
For all files, set proper caching headers. Example: your server tells the browser a file may be cached for 1 year. For 1 year (or until the cache is cleared) the browser will not bother to request a new copy of the file from the server.
For images, there is a technique called CSS sprites. You combine multiple images into one image file and use CSS to slice it up...example: you have social media icons for FB, Twitter, SU, Tumblr, etc. These icons are sent as one file and CSS shows only the FB part as the FB icon, the Twitter part as the Twitter icon, etc.
For Javascript and CSS, you can combine them into single files and "minify" them using a program that rewrites the code to perform the same but take up less space. Also, all text files can be sent to the browser gzipped.
You can achieve even better performance by using a CDN to serve your static content. Amazon's CloudFront is a cheap, entry-level CDN option. They host and serve your images, CSS, etc. from their data centers while your server(s) focus on serving the HTML pages.
Hypothetical scenario: you combined 14 images into 1 sprite, 6 javascript files into 1 file, and 3 stylesheets into 1 file. You just took 24 requests per page load down to 4...a reduction of 83% in the number of requests. If you set caching headers aggressively, all requests after the first are only 1 request (the page itself) and the images, JS and CSS are cached in the browser.

All Things Art: February 2010
Who Are The Manufacturers Kidding?
Today I fed a friend's baby some babyfood. Having eaten mushed pears and raspberries earlier, she was an unsuspecting victim when I gave her the first bite of Herbed Chicken and Pasta. Her expression and subsequent wails as we continued the meal clearly said, "Why are you trying to force me to eat Weirdly Flavored Chicken Gunk and Pasta Globs?"
It was not fun for either of us.
Personally, I'd eat chocolate cake for every meal if I could get away with it. Alas, that's not possible. I remember my college meals of popsicles and cold cereal. Cooking was not a skill I had acquired at that point in my life, plus my roommates never cleaned up after themselves in the kitchen. After helping them get organized once, I wasn't interested in staying on as their housemaid. Thus the strange uncooked meals.
But I do feel a little bit for those under the age of 18 months who have to eat baby food. You don't even know how to say the word "yuck," and you are totally at the mercy of the adult with the spoon. In my case, I can't quite bring myself to try out Weirdly Flavored Chicken Gunk with Pasta Globs. But I guess in the baby's case, it's a good thing that people don't remember much of what happens to them before the age of three.

Writing Vaccination: Purple Prose (This Won't Hurt a Bit)
There's a line I like from the movie, The Rocketeer, that can be applied: "Acting is acting like you're not acting. So act!" That's also true about writing. Writing isn't supposed to sound like you're writing. If the reader feels written to, something is wrong, and it's quite possible your purple prose showing.

And now, time for another gripping episode of What's New?
Still waiting for word from Magination Press, but not expecting any for a couple of weeks or so. It would be great if they take the book, but it won't be the end of the world if they don't. (Please note: the earthquake we felt recently in Illinois didn't happen because I'd gotten word that they didn't take the manuscript, although at 4 a.m. in the morning, you might have been so shaken you would have believed it.)
Been thinking about pirates a lot lately. Not sure why. Just finished reading and taking notes on James Scott Bell's Plot and Structure, and I'm considering how I can use some of his methods to create a better foundation for a story with said pirates. Trying a new method doesn't feel natural yet, but I believe it would produce good results in the long run, so I'm up for trying it out.
My driver's license is about to expire, but they're letting me renew by mail. This is good news, since I tend to be reclusive in some respects. (But yes, Christine, I am going to try to force myself to go to the mall and shop with you very soon. The girls can't wait.)
I need to go to the dentist. This is not earth shattering to anyone but myself. I'm planning on making the fateful call tomorrow. Now that I've told you all, you can hold me accountable. I feel a lot better now that that's off my chest.
Aren't you glad you tuned in?

Captain's Blog: Tofurkey and Beyond
Stardate: Dinnertime
The Admiral has decreed that we condemn no food without trying it out first, so tonight we're trying tofurkey. As I see by the underlying dotted red line, not even spell check believes it's a real food. Yes, it has come to this. I find myself wondering, did the tofu want to masquerade as a turkey? Did anyone ask the tofu's opinion before dressing it up in giblets and gravy? (Perhaps toblets would be a more appropriate choice.)
I believe this is a gross violation of the tofu's right to be tofu. In fact, because of the magnitude of such a crime, it's only a matter of time before the tofu police catch up with us all. In fact, I think now would be a perfect time to explore a hostile new planet.

Captain's Blog—Why We Do What We Do
Have you ever wondered why captains go off into uncharted regions to explore where no one has explored before, braving the unknown and darkest recesses of space? It's not fame. It's not the money. It's not the status. It's not even to escape the IRS.
It's paperwork.
I bid you adieu as I begin to grade papers.

Journal of a Private Eye—Tremors in the Earth
In the early AM hours, the inhabitants of the house snored placidly, their gentle breath going in and out with the practiced ease of travelers through a turnstile. Such innocence. Such trusting. Little did they know what dire twist of plot was heading their way.
Suddenly, a rumbling roar erupted from the bowels of the earth, tossing sound sleepers from their bed. They groped about in the dark, trying to find their cell phones so they could open them for light. The husband was quickly dispatched in pajamas to wade through six inches of snow and secure the perimeter of the house. He returned quickly, none the wiser. (The wife made mental note to remind neighbor to keep dog from using yard as bathroom.)
Had it been a sonic boom? Had a tree fallen on the house? Had the gas company finally discovered that pesky leak a few blocks over?

The bracelet isn’t hard to make at all, and it looks quite nice.
