Are you still making resolutions at the beginning of each year? Or have you given up the practice because you find yourself feeling worse when you break them… again?
From stopping smoking, eating more healthily, and starting a new exercise routine to taking more action towards your goals and responding differently when your buttons are pressed, of the resolutions you've made over the years, can you remember how many you've been able to keep? How long did they last?
There's a key piece of information that can help you to not only understand why you keep breaking your resolutions, but what you can do to make sure that you make those transformations permanent this time!
It may seem like you are making your choices and decisions consciously in the moment; but the truth is, it is your subconscious that prompts your body to cause you to make decisions based on programming.
If you are used to eating potato chips when you get back from work in the evenings to comfort and reward yourself for a hard day's work, you are no longer making that choice consciously. Your brain is now wired to signal your body to prompt you to choose the potato chips when you get home. You will find that your body is expecting that snack at that time. There is a physical connection in your brain between the time, the environment, and that particular food.
If you find you tend to feel anxious when you are faced with having to make a presentation, the anxiety you feel at that time is not unique to that moment. Through past experience (often experience you have consciously forgotten or would not notice a connection to) your brain has connected the act of speaking in front of a group, or having people watch you, or being the centre of attention (or other aspects of the activity) with being at risk or threatened in some way. The feeling of anxiety is your body's "fight, freeze or flight" response; and as far as your body and brain are concerned the prospect of making the presentation is every bit as much of a threat to your life as a real life predator. Your conscious mind knows that making the presentation won't kill you; but your subconscious mind is unable to reason, and is programmed to signal your body to respond with this emergency state in this situation.
If you find it difficult to motivate yourself to exercise regularly, and you find you have to force yourself to get out for a run or to go to the gym, again this response is not unique to that moment. There is a connection in your brain between exercise and something negative. The specific negative state that is connected to the idea of exercise will be unique to you and your life experience. But you will find that no matter how determined you are, how much will power you use, and how many steps you take to stick to your decision, your brain and body will eventually convince your conscious mind to give up. Certainly, you will never consistently look forward to that exercise – unless, of course, you change the programming.
The great news is: The programming can be changed. It can be changed fairly quickly and easily.
The even better news is: Once you change the programming, you will automatically maintain the new behaviour and choices. You won't have to force yourself, you won't need to use will power or determination, or any other methods of making yourself do something you don't want to do, or stopping yourself from doing what you desperately crave to do.
Changing the programming will mean you feel the same urge to do the new behaviour that you felt to do the old – because your subconscious will now be signalling your body to prompt you to want to do the new behaviour. In other words, you will find yourself disinterested in those potato chips, but really looking forward to going out for that run!
Trying to stick to New Year resolutions without changing the way your brain is wired is like trying to push a shopping cart with a wonky wheel – you know, the one that keeps veering off to one side when you're trying to push it in a straight line? As long as that wheel is wonky, you'll need to fight with the cart to keep it going in the direction you want it to go.
The fastest, easiest way I've found to reprogram those subconscious patterns is a combination of the Superpower Exercise and FasterEFT – using these two techniques together is incredibly effective!
On Sunday the 24th January you will be given the keys to get into the driver's seat of your own life!
Note: You will not need to share your challenges with the group in order to get results!
Numbers limited to 15 attendees, so book early.
* If you are unable to attend the workshop, you can get personal help by booking Empowerment Coaching, an Empowerment Party, or hosting a workshop in your own area (use the contact form to ask for more details on this).
You have more power over whether or not your Christmas is enjoyable than you may think.
1. Where you put your focus determines the way you feel.
Start to notice what you're thinking about. This is called meta-cognition, and is one of the benefits of being human – we are able to observe ourselves thinking and feeling, which gives us the option to choose to change those thoughts and feelings.
Each time you find yourself thinking about how things used to be, wishing things could be different, thinking about what you're missing out on, or how things could be different, stop and choose to change your focus. Right there, in the moment.
Choose to use the Superpower exercise and/or the FEFT technique to clear those thoughts and feelings and transform your emotional state to happy. It is a choice. Even though it may not feel like it, you absolutely have the power to choose to think about how cosy you are, how much you appreciate the good things in your life, how much you're looking forward to seeing a particular movie, how much you're enjoying a particular book, how much you love a specific song, how relaxing that bubble bath is, how exhilarated you will feel after your walk or work-out, how much you love your pet, how wonderful it is to have electricity and a computer, how many uplifting and funny YouTube videos are available for you to watch… and so on.
It may feel difficult at first because you're feeling the effects of the stress chemicals in your body that make you feel sad, or lonely, or frustrated, or anxious, or upset, or hurt, or other damaging emotions; but if you decide you want to feel better, you absolutely have the power to do so. Change your focus, and your body and brain will follow, and will produce the endorphins and other "feel good" chemicals that will change the way you feel. You are in control.
Use your Power to make this your most enjoyable Christmas yet – regardless of what is going on around you!
These few tips will help you to increase the fun, love and joy in your world throughout this season, regardless of what those around you are doing!
2. Practice the Superpower Exercise to keep yourself in a state of compassion – this will have a knock-on effect on how you respond to stress, how you communicate with others, the decisions you make, how creative you are, and all other areas of your life.
3. When you are facing challenges, take a moment to gain your perspective. Remind yourself that only you can create and attract in your life, and remember The Magic Pill – you cannot create or attract anything bad in your life; so, no matter how bad something may appear, it HAS to turn out to be either good, or at the very least, nothing to worry about.
5. When you find it difficult to feel good, or to move past something, or to change your focus, use the Faster EFT technique to let go of the patterns and beliefs that are holding you in place; this will allow you to let the unconditional love and compassion in.
In the aftermath of the terrorist attack in Paris, many people are feeling fear, frustration, helplessness, anger, and a range of other emotions that are spurring them on to take some kind of action to fight the threat of further tragedy.
For many, there is a lot of swinging between being the light, and being drawn into the darkness. In other words, for many people there is a significant contradiction between what they believe (love, peace, kindness and compassion) and what they end up focusing on (fighting the threat).
Regardless of the action you may or may not choose to take, the Key is how you feel!
If you are feeling positive and happy about the result you plan to achieve through your action, then you are heading towards happiness; if you are feeling fearful and you are acting out of that fear, you are headed towards more reasons to feel fear.
1. The remote control to "out there" is inside you. This may seem absurd at times; but, if you think about it, you are the only constant in your life. Whatever you experience, you are there. And you are the only part of your experience that you truly have control over. You are holding the remote control to your life inside you – no matter what is happening around you. For a more detailed explanation on this, read: You're Sitting on it!
2. Every moment of human consciousness is a choice; even if it's just a choice of where to put your focus.
3. You get what you focus on. Wherever you are focused in the moment is where you are going. Focusing on something is facing in that direction – when you move, you move in the direction you are facing. If you are looking left and try to walk right, you will eventually bump into something or fall over… and you will certainly not get very far in the direction you want to go. If you want to move north, you need to turn to face north. If you want peace, you need to put your focus on peace. If your focus is on revenge or fear, or on taking action against something, you are moving towards those experiences, and you will end up with more of that particular situation.
4. Only light can transform darkness. Darkness cannot survive in light; but a light can shine in the dark.
If you want to make a difference in the world around you, you need to use the controls inside yourself. This means controlling your own focus, and doing whatever it takes to stay in a state of love, compassion and kindness. You will find the Superpower Exercise very effective for developing the ability to manage your emotional state.
If you do want to take action you believe will help in some way, be sure to check how you're feeling – how you are feeling will tell you where your focus is.
You are headed in the direction you are facing – where you put your focus is where you are facing.
What about the "bad guys" and the threats?
1. Get involved and take physical action. Go over and help the victims and their families, or join the fight. And if this is the experience you would like to have, then you will want to face in that direction.
2. Face in the direction of the tragedy, the threats, and all the terrible things that are happening and could happen, without taking any action. This is also a choice, of course. And if you make this choice, you will move towards more of that experience. In other words, if you are focusing on fear, anger, resentment, frustration and other negative states, your health and the rest of your life and those around you will suffer the effects of those negative emotions; and feeling those emotions will not create more security or safety.
3. Face in the direction you want to go. Focus on becoming what you want to see in the world – compassion, kindness, love, fun and joy. You may not change the experience of those who have chosen the other options, but you WILL change your own experience. And you will also have a ripple effect on those around you.
What about the ones who want to fight?
It is worth remembering that every person has the right to choose their focus… and as a result, their experience. There are those around you who want to fight the threat; and that's okay – for them. It doesn't mean you should fight too. Some people like horror movies. Those who don't like horror movies very often can't understand why someone would do that to themselves; and the person who doesn't like romantic comedies may feel the same about the people who enjoy that genre. One of the most empowering things you can do for yourself is to make your own choices while allowing others theirs.
Developing the ability to put yourself into a physiological state of unconditional love through practice will allow you to feel confident, safe, and secure, and comfortable with allowing others to make their own choices while sticking to yours.
The attacks in Paris last night have shocked and shaken people all over the world; and the tragedy has resulted in a range of powerful emotional reactions. Here are a few points to consider in your own reaction, followed by five things you can do in response to these events, that are positive and productive.
Reading about the attacks, watching the news, listening to commentary, and participating in social media discussions means your focus is on the tragedy and all of the aspects of that tragedy.
2. Stop reading about what happened in Paris. It can be difficult at first because you may feel compelled to read about it (use the Faster EFT technique to clear that compulsion too!) Stop watching the news reports, discussing it, and participating in social media discussions about it. None of these actions is helping the situation or the victims; but they are causing damage to you.
3. Spend some time getting yourself into a loving state by using the Superpower Exercise (you can find out how to do this at yourselfempowered.com/exercises-and-techniques) and then send that love to Paris – allow it to fill the whole city, and every person in it with that love. This will be beneficial whether you are spiritual or an atheist – or anything in-between! If you believe in something beyond the physical, you are sending a powerful positive energy where it is needed – you are shining light into darkness; if you do not believe in anything beyond the physical, you are, at the very least, allowing your body and brain to dilute the harmful stress chemicals with endorphins – you are changing your physiological state… which have a knock-on effect on all areas of your life and those around you.
Darkness cannot survive in light; but a light can shine in the dark. Shine your light!
Deepak Chopra's Compassion Event – What's in it for YOU?
But, what's in it for you?
At last year's Global Compassion Meditation, the attendance was over 140,000 – making it the largest online meditation gathering in history, and earning it a Guinness World Record – with people from almost every country in the world taking part.
This is, naturally a wonderful contribution to the world in general… however, the great news is that by consciously being in a state of compassion, you are changing your OWN life experience!
1. The way you feel sets your vibrational state – which determines what you are creating and attracting to yourself, on an energetic and quantum level. While you are in a state of compassion and unconditional love, you are attracting only that which is a match for that state.
2. The way we feel about ourselves determines our experience of the world around us. The circumstances, situations and people we encounter and experience in our lives are a reflection of the beliefs we have about ourselves, and how we feel about ourselves. While you are feeling compassion for yourself, you are projecting an example for the world around you to follow.
3. While you are feeling unconditional love, kindness and compassion, your brain is producing "feel good" chemicals. Apart from making you feel good, these chemicals have a powerful effect on the body – boosting the immune system, lowering blood pressure, diluting stress hormones, boosting healing… and so much more.
These are just three ways in which you will personally benefit from using your Superpower to contribute to world peace! There are many more!
1. Sign up for the event on Deepak's page below.
2. On Saturday, July 11th, just before 9am PT (find out what that will be in your local time, here: Time Zone Converter log into the site.
3. Use the Superpower Exercise to tune in to your power and to fill all of the cells in your body with that light, that energy, that unconditional love.
4. Maintain that state while you follow along with Deepak's meditation. If you lose the feeling at any point, just go back to the beginning of the exercise.
5. Enjoy the energy and power of hundreds of thousands of like-minded people all over the world, tuning in to compassion!
There is an FAQ page if you have any questions regarding the event; and you can also ask any questions you may have, in our Unconditional Love Forums.
How YOUR Heart Affects Reality!
15 minutes after the first plane hit the World Trade Centre on the 11th of September, 2001 the American GOES satellites that measure the magnetic fields of the earth and send back readings every 30 minutes showed a massive spike in activity. This spiking continued as the news travelled throughout the world. These readings showed that the emotions felt by people responding to the news directly affected the electromagnetic field of the earth itself! In this video, Gregg Braden explains how .
Using the Superpower Exercise to maintain a state of unconditional love is directly affecting the world around you!
Are You Using Social Media to Share Light or Darkness?
If you are thinking positively, and focusing on feeling good, and yet you are still not experiencing the life you desire, take notice of your social media activity. What are you posting? What you are sharing and commenting on in social media is where you are putting your energetic focus in that moment. Considering we feed whatever we focus on, it makes sense to make sure that our focus is only on situations and circumstances that match what we want.
If there is something happening in the world that you are not happy about, if there is something you can physically do to change it (donate money, run a rescue mission, or run for office, for example) that's great. However, if you can't physically change it, posting about it, commenting on it, and sharing it with others is only feeding the darkness with more darkness. Taking some time to send unconditional love to the situation and everyone involved will help to shine light into the darkness.
Sending unconditional love to a situation will do infinitely more to help, than focusing on how terrible it is.
So, the next time you come across a petition or a post that focuses on anything that you don't want, instead of spreading that negativity, take a moment to tune in to the power of unconditional love, using the Superpower exercise; fill yourself with that power first, and then aim it at that situation and shine your light!
Remember, you are feeding what you are focusing on. Only feed the good stuff.
1. Once you've given the person the information that their emotional state is directly affecting their health, don't mention it again. Trying to convince them doesn't actually convince them; in fact, it can cause more stress instead, and can cause them to automatically and instinctively "dig their heels in" even more.
2. Be the example. People learn from experience and example far more than they learn from being given information. Shine your light, and theirs will slowly be coaxed to come out too!
Here's a good guide for this: Whenever you find yourself wanting to give your loved-one advice (for example, "don't be stressed" or "stop worrying" etc.) stop yourself from saying the words; and instead of saying it, demonstrate it by doing what you would like to say.
In other words, instead of saying "You need to stop worrying…" take a deep breath, fill yourself with unconditional love, smile kindly, and relate to the person as if they are already calm and happy.
If you behave as if your loved one is being just as you wish they would be, eventually they will start to "tune in" to you instead of the other way around. Just like a tuning fork – make your love, calm, joy and humour the strongest vibration in the room, no matter what is going on, and everyone else will eventually begin to pick up that note.
If you find this difficult at first, use the Superpower Exercise (you can find it on my website yourselfempowered.com) and that will help you to get yourself into a state of unconditional love and calm regardless of what is going on around you and regardless of your loved one's current emotional state.
3. Take every opportunity to share funny stuff with your loved one, but without telling them it's for their health of course. 😉 Just share things with them that you know they'll find funny – YouTube videos, something funny that was posted on social media, something you heard or read. But, very importantly, don't expect them to laugh.
I know that sounds odd because of course you want them to laugh, but know that the person may not feel like laughing – and that's okay. Keep sharing the funny stuff with them, with no expectations or pressure, just as you would give someone a gift because you love them, without expecting anything in return. This will make a big difference to them beneath the surface; and that will slowly affect them on different layers and levels.
4. Whenever you think of your loved one, and especially when you think of the frustration you feel that they are negatively affecting their health, use the Superpower exercise to get yourself into the state of unconditional love (it won't matter how you feel or what your thoughts are at the time as the exercise is designed to get you into the physiological state of unconditional love regardless of negative thoughts or current emotions ) and then imagine your loved one being filled with that same power. Replace all frustration and fear with that exercise whenever you think of it, and you will be surprised at the results!
Responding in this way instead of trying to convince the person to change their state of mind will probably feel counter-intuitive at first; but keep reminding yourself of the darkness and light analogy. The other person's negative state is darkness, and your love and positivity is light.
Darkness cannot survive in light, but a light can shine in the dark.
From betrayal by a loved one, to the range of injustice reported by the press, to tragic world events, it is our natural reaction to feel hurt, angry, resentful, indignant – and a variety of other negative emotions. The idea of forgiving those whose actions are hurtful, unfair and even evil seems a tall order – and actually loving them is incomprehensible.
Or is it? The truth is: the best option is to not only forgive all of the wrong-doings to yourself and those in the world in general, but to actually love them. Now, I know that sounds ridiculous in addition to impossible, but if you bear with me, by the time you have finished reading this, you will understand why this is the best option, and you will also know HOW to do it!
The first step into understanding this concept is asking yourself the following three questions. These questions apply regardless of whether your anger, hurt and resentment is as a result of personal experience, terrible news stories, or world tragedies.
1. What effect is your anger having on the situation? Will it improve, contribute to, or change the situation in any way?
2. What effect is your anger having on the guilty parties? Can you see a future result in which, in response to your anger, that person will say: "I'm sorry, you're right, I shouldn't have done that, and I won't do it again."?
3. What effect is your anger having on you?
The problem is: emotions are not just emotions, they are physiological states. When you feel an emotion, it is the chemicals that are being produced in your brain and body that give you the sensation of that emotion. Negative emotions produce stress hormones that are designed for life-or-death situations. They put the body into a state of emergency, which includes decreasing or switching off certain functions (including healing and digestion) in order for all focus to be aimed at escape and survival.
This is very useful when your life is being threatened; however, the body does not know the difference between an attack by a wild animal and thoughts about injustice or betrayal. The chemicals are the same. Our bodies are designed to withstand short periods of this emergency state; they are not designed to be in this state long-term. By feeling angry, frustrated and resentful about a situation we keep our bodies in that state of emergency – which not only feels bad; it causes a range of physical damage.
By answering these three questions, it is clear that regardless of how bad the situation is, and regardless of how evil the perpetrators are, any kind of negative feelings towards them do nothing to change the circumstances or those who are responsible for them, but they do cause you to live in a state that not only feels bad but that is also damaging your body every minute you remain in that state.
Having answered these three questions, and knowing what you now know about what the chemicals from negative emotions do to your body, if you could flick a switch to change your feelings from anger to forgiveness, would you use it?


Difference between revisions of "Three-dimensional regional strain analysis in myocardial infarction"
3D strain analysis is tested against 1D and 2D strain analysis on pig hearts to determine which has a better diagnostic accuracy.
|'''Figure 1''': Example LGE images in nine animals. Myocardial infarction is mainly located in the anterior wall and anterior septum with transmurality greater than 90% of the wall thickness (yellow arrows). Isolated infarct zones, and slices with sub-endocardial infarct and no presence of transmural infarct were not observed in the entire dataset.
|'''Figure 2''': This figure illustrates epicardial and endocardial borders and the transmural infarct border points on an example LGE and five zHarp images as selected cardiac phases. (A) Epicardial and endocardial borders (blue contours) and borders of transmural MI (red points) are delineated on the LGE image. Myocardial tissue enclosed between MI points is called the infarct segment. The rest of the myocardium is divided into equal segments. Infarct segment 1; Adjacent: segment 2, and 6; Remote: segment 3, 4, and 5. (B) Landmarks delineated on the LGE image are mapped and located on all zHarp cardiac phases by Harp tracking and myocardium is divided into segments accordingly. Five cardiac phases are selected for demonstration.
|'''Figure 3''': Figure A shows an example of an end-systolic zHARP image and its corresponding mid-diastolic LGE image in one animal at early post-MI. Directional and principal strains overlaid on the zHARP image and their temporal profile are shown in Figure B and C, respectively. Reduced magnitudes were observed in all strain indices in infarct segments versus adjacent and remote segments (Figure C, black arrows).
Out of the twenty animals, five died due to incessant ventricular fibrillation. Surviving animals all completed the imaging protocol. 3D strain differed significantly in infarct, adjacent, and remote segments (p < 0.05) at early and late post-MI. In univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses, circumferential, longitudinal, and radial strains were significant factors (p < 0.001) in differentiation of infarct and adjacent segments from baseline values. In identification of adjacent segments, receiver operating characteristic analysis using the 3D strain multivariate model demonstrated a significant improvement (p < 0.01) in overall diagnostic accuracy. Overall, 3D strain analysis showed a 96% diagnostic accuracy with 2D strain analysis showing an 81% diagnostic accuracy with 1D strain analysis left at 71% diagnostic accuracy.

Anti-Islamist Ads in New York City
Coming soon in New York City are anti-Islamist ads on over one hundred buses and two train stations. Mayor Bill de Blasio has come out against the new ads calling them,
"outrageous, inflammatory and wrong." And said, "[they] have no place in New York City, or anywhere."
Mayor de Blasio said that the ads divide the city while we all should be coming together. The new ads are trying to single out extremists.
See the new ads below.
The ads use the hashtag #StopJihad and promote the website AFDI.us. It's the American Freedom of Defense Initiative. Some ads depict journalist James Foley just before he was beheaded. They also use the catchphrase "It's not Islamophobia, it's Islamorealism". Very controversial to say the least.
Also, it says Jew-hatred is in the Quran and calls for the US to end all aid to Islamist countries to "stop the hate".
Conservative blogger Pamela Geller is paying for these ads, worth about $100,000. She called it an "education campaign" to highlight the real dangers of the Jihad and extremists in the Middle East. Geller has been deemed to be anti-Islam, but she said she is not. It is most fitting here in New York City because here, we are the number one target in the world. For goodness sakes, President Obama even said that his number one worry was New York City getting bombed! And with Mayor de Blasio and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton now in office, I do not feel safer at all. Ray Kelly was an amazing commissioner and did an excellent job protecting New York not just from crime, but from terrorism. An outstanding 47% of New Yorkers feel less safe than they did before 9/11. That's not good, especially with New York on high alert for terrorism practically year round.
Court rulings force the MTA to run the ads because of the First Amendment. But one ad recently was rejected saying it was provoking violence. Geller said she will sue to have the ad run.

My Bed 104
8 Aug, 2010 in Life by craig
My break from blogging continues. I have not been posting in or reading the comments sections. I am told some people have been worried by some posts there purporting to be from me. They are not from me, I am in good health and have not discovered any "bugs" or phone taps – someone is posting nonsense comments in my name.
Anyway here is a photo of my bed, to help explain why I am taking a break.
And here are some pictures of the rest of the house, which had been illegally converted to bedsits and substantially trashed.
Here is Ingo working on reinstating an original mable fireplace and open fire. Unfortunately by the time I took one this one the plaster dust had got into my Blackberry as it has got everywhere else.
We only have a few weeks left to get the house habitable for the family. We work from dawn to dusk. We haven't got television or the internet or indeed, much of the time, electricity and water. It is simply not practicable to blog sensibly at the moment so I am concentrating purely on the building work until we are past the worst of it.

"Angrysoba, being an efficient insert, has linked to Gilligan's attempt to divert the doctors' request to get the truth on David Kelly's death."
Did you actually read Gilligan's article? He said he was in favour of an inquest as the level of nonsense has risen to such a clamour.
Actually, I agree with him on that, but honestly, it won't stop the conspiracy theories.

Somebody – 'Angrysoba, being an efficient insert, has linked to Gilligan's attempt to divert the doctors' request to get the truth on David Kelly's death. Likewise Mangold and Aaronovitch on Newsnight plus Mangold all over the place. Who would you rather believe – a cornoner, a pathologist, the ex President of the Royal College of Surgeons, surgeons, physicians and so on?'
Well, seeing as the chap has never spoken an ounce of bullshit in his life it would have to be Aaronovitch that has my unshakable trust :-0.
dreoilin August 17, 2010 at 09:29
41 more dead in Iraq this morning. Over a hundred injured. And some 'correspondent' called Sykes on BBC said "Al Quaeda are even targetting traffic policemen now". Sounded like he'd been talking to them and knew all about it.
somebody August 17, 2010 at 10:23
Thanks Dreolin. I was sorry to hear about your friend and hope the recovery is going well. Have you been hearing of the outrage about last night's Panorama about the flotilla?
My comment from Viva Palestina was
'Simple fact. Jane Corbin is an Israeli shill. Yet again, the Palestinians have been betrayed by the British Broadcasting Corporation.'
At first it was moderated but now like many others it is being subjected to 'further investigation'.

Notice the likes of Sebastian get as much space as they like to shill for Israhell and propagate the lies.
Almost all the suicide bombings in Iraq have been orchestrated by C.I.A. black ops. I'm sure Larry the Lamb will clarify this for me.
"Have you been hearing of the outrage about last night's Panorama about the flotilla?"
No, and I'd love to have seen that programme! But it probably would have made me very angry (given some of the comments I've just seen).
What was the gist of what Panorama was saying? Poor Israeli soldiers had the right to defend themselves? What were they implying about it not being an aid convoy?
My friend has brain damage and is now expected to be in neurological rehab for quite some time. He's a long-time peace activist and he wouldn't lift a finger to anyone. He was attacked at random and left for dead. I can't go to see him as he's thousands of miles away. I still can't quite believe it.
They'll be blaming Al Quaeda for the weather next.
So sorry about your friend Dreoilin. Can only hope and pray if you have a faith. I heard this this morning from a friend –
Couldn't agree more ……, the same here, angry letters will be sent by us. There was no context, sickening having to endure it all. Saw Osama Quashoo (a friend of our daughter ….) on the boat in the beginning of the programme. Poor guy, he was classed as the 'ringleader' on the ship, by the Israeli commandos, and treated very badly, he has had a blood clot on the brain and passed out last week, apparently a delayed reaction to his 'treatment' at the hands of the Israeli commandos, luckily he is alright now with aspirins etc. but needs more medical treatment We mustn't despair but it's hard not to.
The Panorama programme is on 2 You Tubes beginning

This friend also told me that Mohammed Omer is in the Hague now. He is the young Palestinian journalist who won the Martha Gellhorn Award for Journalism and after receiving it from John Pilger in London, made his way home to Gaza. At the Allenby Bridge he was arrested and beaten up by the Shin Bet and ended up in hospital. After three years and much medical treatment he is on the mend and is studying International Politics and Economics in the Hague at the International Institute of Social Studies in the Hague. Good for him. He is a fine young man.
Clark August 17, 2010 at 20:43
Dreoilin,
I'm really sorry about your friend. I hope he improves in rehab.
Somebody,
I'm sorry about Osama Quashoo, too.
Thank you 'somebody' and Clark. It's very shocking what can happen out of the blue.
I'm just going off to watch Panorama on YouTube now. [Thanks for the link.]
That's scary stuff about Osama Quashoo and Mohammed Omer. I'm glad to hear they're both on the road to recovery — or almost, in the case of Osama.
Funny how Israeli commandos collapse in fear when they find themselves in the hands of Kenneth O'Keefe.
What thread is the post that gives details about what happened to your friend on dreoilin? I can't see any specific details on this thread and just wondered what had happened.
Jaded,
I just made a brief reference, probably on the previous thread. He was found outdoors with massive head injuries, and airlifted to hospital, barely alive. Police treating it as an assault, but they have little or no information. At the moment he doesn't have speech.

"A leading suicide expert has questioned the finding that Dr David Kelly took his own life.
Colin Pritchard, emeritus professor at Southampton University's School of Medicine, said there was nothing in the evidence given to the Hutton Inquiry to suggest Dr Kelly had any 'intent' to commit suicide.
Without this, a coronor would struggle to reach a suicide verdict.
Prof Pritchard's intervention adds to the clamour for a full inquest into the death of the government weapons inspector, who was found dead in an Oxfordshire copse in 2003."
"The fresh doubts come after Dr Kelly's cousin, Wendy Wearmouth, broke the family silence this week to voice fears he was assassinated.
A growing list of doctors have already questioned whether Dr Kelly could have lost enough blood to die from a wound to his wrist.
A Daily Mail poll earlier this week showed that just 20 per cent of the public believe the official verdict that Dr Kelly took his own life."

A leading pro-Iraq war apologist has today criticised experts who called for a proper inquest into the death of Dr David Kelly.
Daffyd "the only righteous person in the village" Arsehole, who has previously argued that just because WMD weren't found only proves they were very well hidden, said, "These experts know nothing. They're all voodoo quacks and conspiraloons from outer space".
Daffyd, a renowned Friend of Fatness, rejects accusations that he is totally full of shit.

Man who sold soul to devil tries to buy it back on the cheap.
A man who sold his soul to the devil for approx £60 million, yesterday tried to buy it back for £5 million.
Chris Marlowe, a spokesman for Faustian Enterprises the devil's PR company said, "Yeah. They all try that, though mostly they pay way way more than they received and do good works until they die. This guy isn't even in the foothills of serious".
Marlowe denied rumours that Faustian was negotiating a deal with the man's wife to "buy one get one free". "She hasn't any assets in which the devil would be interested", said Marlowe.
Abe Rene August 18, 2010 at 14:06
Louis B Cypher: indeed, the fellow's got a nerve. I read about a man who reportedly made over £10 million out of public speeches, and offered to give away £5 million, which is at least a substantial percentage. A well-known charity for injured soldiers accepted the money. But he can claim a third back as tax relief. And what's more, he will continue to make millions yearly as a consultant to big business and receive a six-figure sum every time he delivers an after-dinner speech. Disgusting, I know. Honestly, some people have all the luck!
Mark Golding - Children of Iraq August 18, 2010 at 14:09
Angrysober,
I have respect for Andrew Gilligan. Without him the British public might not have become aware of the lies inside a 'dodgy dossier' and the changes made by the controlling hand of Alastair Campbell.
Even Andrew was "very, very surprised." "He didn't strike me as the suicidal type."
At the time we remember the Government's response was to ruthlessly to publish his name, in the hope that he would knock the story down. It did not, it empowered David to furiously work on his book on germ warfare.
He had warned Blair according to Robin Cook that Iraq possessed no WMD weeks BEFORE the illegal (Kofi Annan) strike on Iraq.
The pressure is building inexorably behind this story. There can be no doubt now that there has to be a full Judicial enquiry with evidence taken under oath, no offers of immunity and the possibility of prosecution for Blair, Straw, Hoon and Campbell for lying to Parliament and conspiring to pervert the course of justice.
This cancer at the heart of Government remains and must be excised once and for all. Lord Hutton must NOT be given a free pass on any of this either.
At the time we remember the Government's response was to ruthlessly to publish David Kelly's name, in the hope that it would knock the story down. It did not, it empowered David to furiously work on his book on germ warfare.
Apparently Russia and China signed the latest sanctions against Iran with the intention of excluding Western companies from competing for the lucrative business opportunities in Iran. The UK arrogance in rubbing it in their faces with additional sanctions ,outside of the UN agreements, might have angered them. Add Turkey to the mix, and Iran still has two sources, including Russian to supply gasoline to the Iranians. The Russians and the Chinese, and now the Turks don't take orders very well. When Israel gives us orders we comply. Wonder how many S300 missile systems Iran has? Hard to spot them in their underground bunkers. Better still how many Israeli pilots are they willing to lose to find out? I guess none when the Americans are sent out to do the dirty work. Will Hilary remind us, like Condi that mushroom clouds threaten us if we don't start another war. Has anyone ever lost betting on the stupidity of the American citizens.
They will be able to find work soon, although they might have to wear a uniform.

Mark, re. the death of David Kelly, I think that what one might expect to see over the next few weeks is the variegated character assassination of his first cousin, Wendy Wearmouth and possibly also of Prof. Pritchard along similar lines to the character assassination of assassinated electrician, De Menezes.
I entirely agree that the matter of David Kelly's death needs to be pursued.
However, I think it unlikely that the UK state would ever admit to systemic complicity in individual assassinations especially on its own soil (within seventy-to-a hundred years of the date of the occurrences) as this would completely and publicly destroy the legitimacy of the state in general, of the crucially necessary social contract (?delusion) which is underpinned by the unspoken assumption that whatever its failings and errors the liberal capitalist democratic state acts with benevolence towards its citizens, and of elected government in particular.
This is no reason not to pursue the matter to its end – and to the 'ends of the earth'. Indeed, it may be very good reason to do just that.

"the liberal capitalist democratic state acts with benevolence towards its citizens"
Sometimes it has tried to, I think. Abolishing the death penalty, no?
Otherwise absolutely disgusting piece by Toby Young in this week's Spectator, thrashing a book about inequality called 'The Spirit Level' (haven't read it) with patent illogic and concluding, among other things: "Suppose we accept, for the sake of argument, that inequality does cause various forms of ill health. That doesn't mean we ought (in italics) to equalise incomes…For most conservatives a certain level of dysfunction is an acceptable price to pay for our social and economic freedoms'.
Says it all, really. Sometimes I do wish that these people would lose all their money and contacts and have to work as cleaners. Could hardly bear to type the last bit.
"absolutely disgusting" – I mean, of course, that I was disgusted by it.
Odd word. I wonder if the antonym is 'gusted'.
Yes, the social contract, which obviously includes many good things (I'm not arguing that it does not) and which also includes at its heart the assignment of the right to kill exclusively to the state (otherwise murder would be a normal part of everyday life), is a necessary prerequisite for the functioning of the representative democratic state.
But if it became clear, and was admitted by the state, that agencies of the state operate executive, extra-judicial capital punishment (outwith the scenarios of war and emergency policing actions), the numinous yet very real relationship of trust on which the social contract depends would break down. At a very profound level, the state would lose its legitimacy – and for the UK state, that would be a very serious situation indeed and would be one which absolutely would not be allowed to happen.
Therefore, we will never – not in our lifetimes, anyway – see a headline in The Guardian which runs thus: 'Stop Press: UK state admits it murdered David Kelly'.
After a certain time, it is entirely possible that such information, if indeed it is the case, and this is something which has not been proven, of course, becomes of historical value only, it might seep out. If it became clear, for instance (for the sake of hypothetical argument), that Lord Palmerston ordered the assassination of some or other trade union leader, it would be of immense historical interest and would and would be likely to provide copy for an entire Saturday supplement of The Guardian complete with much liberal posturing and a gallery of grainy photographs of grim Victorian gentlemen, but it would pass with minimal fuss and would not be seen as being of any contemporary political relevance and therefore would present no threat to the aforementioned social contract.
And so, Dominic Grieve can state, "We would like to resolve this in a way that can give the public reassurance. People who have expressed concerns about why Lord Hutton did not tie up every loose end may have a valid point."
I thought the point of having an inquest was that people want to know the truth; it has nothing to do with people wanting "reassurance". Reassurance of what? That agencies of the state are not complicit in extra-judicial executions? For that, read, 'we just want to give people a more effective whitewash so they'll stop asking awkward questions'.
Suhayl August 19, 2010 at 09:21
There is considerable evidence that over a period of years, the UK state did engage in extra-judicial executions in the context of Northern Ireland and other (to quote Professor David Miller, Editor of Spinwatch) "unresolved colonial situations".

Thanks, dreolin (at 9:28am), it's a good discussion to be had.
I assume you refer to my comments on the '9/11' post some days ago.
You see, I don't feel any need whatsoever to apologise for what someone else does, or constantly to iterate that such-and-such is a 'religion of peace', etc., etc. ad nauseam. I'm not interested in that sort of sterile discourse.
Far from being 'aplogist' in either sense of the word, my view is that fundamentalist tendencies need actively to be striven against within the communities to which they pertain, whether those communities be, say, some Jewish ones in Israel, some Protestant ones in the West of Scotland or some Muslim ones in Pakistan. It is not easy, because in the last case the Islamists globally have billions of petro-dollars, a set of potent and ongoing causes ('hot wars'), increasing numbers of adherents and (regionally-speaking) considerable military power.
For example, recently I was in a mainstream mosque in the UK. I will not say which one because firstly I do not want the mosque to become a target, secondly because I do not want The Daily Mail to ask me to 'lead them to the extremist bookshops' (they did indeed request this once, believe me!) and thirdly because I have no desire to be threatened with legal action.
Now, in the mosque library was a notice on the wall, not in English and not in Latin script, which purported to explain why "Qadianis [also known in some places as 'Ahmedis'] are not Muslim".
Now, this may seem like a boring internal theological dispute of little consequence to those outside the room where 'angels dance on the heads of pins'. However, in the context of the rise of Islamic fundamentalism during the mid-1970s in Pakistan and all that has happened thereafter, it is of very major significance. Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, acceding to demands from the rising Religious Right (think Sarah Palin), in the mid-1970s declared that the members of this group were officially no longer 'Muslim'.
A couple of months ago, 70 people were murdered when a bomb exploded in a Qadiani mosque; this is only the latest in a long-running series of such atrocities, the pace of which has accelerated in recent years. There was a demonstration in Pakistan protesting about the lack of outrage in the country following this particularly horrendous attack. It is important to note that Shias and Christians also suffer attacks. I am aware of the power of divide-and-rule tactics, but my argument applies regardless of who commits these acts.
So, in this context, a statement in a mosque library that the members of this persecuted and completely non-threatening group of people ?" who regard themselves as devoutly Muslim – are "not Muslim" suggests at the very least gross insensitivity, bigotry and a lack of human compassion and at worst (it is arguable) might be construed as incitement to religious hatred. Furthermore, who the hell are they to say who is, and who is not, Muslim? I thought that was for God to decide.
The mainstream mosque in question in essence is controlled by those who are sympathetic to the aims of the Jamaat-i-Islami, a political party and movement in Pakistan but with widespread support among the diaspora in the UK which follows the teachings of the late Maulana Maududi, who was and remains a major figure in Sunni Islamism.
Now, it is entirely legitimate to criticise Western intelligence agencies, the military security complex et al for magnifying the threat of Islamism in the UK/ USA, etc. ?" and historically for fomenting, funding, arming and now also contributing to stoking it ?" and I do make these criticisms all the time, as is obvious on these boards.
But it does not preclude ?" indeed, it ought not to preclude and it is logical not to preclude ?" calls for Muslims to tackle the internal bigotry and ignorant supremacism which seem to have gripped many societies and whose proponents, while by no means always advocating violence (one must acknowledge that most of these folk would not support violence and have stated that they do not) do foster a rubric in which the closing-down of a discourse of tolerance (tolerance, that is, not in the somewhat debased colloquial sense but in the sense meant by Bosnian philosopher, Rusmir Mahmutcehajic) becomes implicit and indeed is exactly what happens on the ground. Inch-by-inch, a Saudi-influenced and financed totalitarian, supremacist mindset gains ground, through de facto censorship, and the alteration, of available religious literature, through peer pressure, through intense organisational activity and eventually also through the manipulated structures of patriarchy.
So I agree that it is tiresome, pointless, irritating and hypocritical for states embarked on war as a geostrategic policy instrument continually to make such calls and to demand loyalty and a re-affirmation against violence as a political tool from a specific (whose patriarchies arguably are alternately demonised and condescendingly feted) segment of society. Each bomblet generates another so-called 'Talib'.
However, this does not mean that there are not very serious problems internally in Muslim societies which people of Muslim acculturation and/ or belief ignore at their (our) peril and which we all really urgently need to tackle, not least of which is the ongoing destruction of history ?" both physically, as exemplified by the ideological demolition of old buildings dating back to the time of the Prophet in Saudi Arabia, and politically/philosophically, everywhere.
Many people from Muslim communities are extremely angry about these systemic attempts to close-down of thought in their societies ?" a process which has been engineered by sheer power ?" but lack the organisational strength to do anything except moan. The problem, too, is that in the absence of a mass organised Left in the UK or indeed in Pakistan, their struggle risks being co-opted and/or manipulated by Western intelligence. Right now, it's a lose-lose situation. That's not to say we must not strive.
We really need a revitalised Left (in the UK too!) and maybe also in Muslim countries a form of 'liberation theology' (which was sidelined in 'Latin' America partly by an invasion of US-promoted Right-wing Evangelicals loaded with cash) – there have been attempts at this, but it needs to arise from the grassroots, from the urban working classes and lower middle classes of Pakistan – and they have been either wholly captured by toxic ideologies or else have been browbeaten into acquiescence by those same forces – by an alliance of feudal landowners, industrial capitalists and the Islamists – a triangulation (to re-use a much-prostituted term) of power and wealth whose 'agents' (adherents, facilitators and beneficiaries) now sit right through the corrupted and chauvinistic military-political power structures of Pakistan.

Obviously it is, and I'm not qualified to get into the details of what you've written above, unfortunately. It just makes my blood boil to see attempts to push people into denouncements, but I'm not suggesting that you've ever apologised. Not at all. And I do realise that while I made comparisons with the Irish in Britain, there are many, and quite complicated, differences.
I posted the link as a semi-lighthearted thing which nevertheless follows up on what I said on the 9/11 thread.
Some stuff on Twitter today:
"Outrage over plans to build library next to Sarah Palin"
"The US has been building ground zeros near Mosques around the world for decades."
"Wherever a bunch of Americans got slaughtered, that's hallowed ground. Other nationalities, not so much."
Glad to see that there are a lot of angry Americans on Twitter who are appalled at what's been going on in the US — and very vocal about it.

Nana Moira sat in a corner, darning Socks by the fire. Silvered needles whipping and stitching, bony fingers steady and sure—certain as any surgeon's hand.
"Silly puss lost 'is head again," she cackled, tugging at the long, dark thread.
An old joke, that one, and much reused, just like everything in that tiny stone and thatch cottage. But Daidoe Seamus laughed anyway, just as he always did. A sharp sound of creaking springs and crab claws clacking, the brass key driving his long-dead heart turning slow circles as it jutted from his chest.
I watched those two together as I floated languidly in my bath. Measured the love that flowed between them—tangible as the scents of liniment and lavender hanging heavy on the air. And I, being granddaughter and dutiful, laughed with them. My own voice a blubbering bubble rising upward from the brining vat in which my tentacled body reposed.
A song of yearning. Of envy most foul.
No clockworks for me, after all. The sea claimed my body, spitting back just my head, but Nana Moira worked a deal with yon Alders Bay Kraken. Offering the Great Beast a gift of life eternal—a clockwork framework of brass and gold—in exchange for a single seed. Nana Moira's pick of the litter from the Kraken's next get.
Death begot death and from it life. A short one for me—just a hundred years and five before this Kraken's body came apart—but long enough, really. Enough years to suit me, who'd died once already and drifted downward in the salty dark.
A last loving cackle, one more whipping stitch, and Nana Moira tied off a snug knot, right under Socks' black and white chin. Leaned in close, wrinkled lips disappearing in the patched and faded fur of Socks' patched and faded neck. Teeth nipping daintily as she expertly snapped the thread.
"There ya are, luv. Good as new." She chortled fondly, patting the old cat fondly on the rough fur of his snaggle-toothed head. Scooped his bag of bones body from her bag of bones lap and nuzzled her grey-skinned nose to his.
Daidoe Seamus watched her, saying not a word—not in all that time. Nor I either, lacking lungs of sufficient to drive the muscles of my larynx. I just thrashed my suckered legs in the briny sea bath I called home, whipping the water into a froth, spraying rainbow shimmer bubbles in the fire lit air.
Socks caught sight of one and batted at it lackadaisically, swiping with a nubbin clawed foot until the bubble drifted away, bursting brightly in the fire. He mewled mournfully, missing his catspaw already. Mewled again, rusted voice croaking as he swiped his worn, sandpaper tongue across the seamed landscape of Nana Moira's much wrinkled face.
A peck on the nose and Nana Moira set Socks on the floor, steadying his bony old body with her knob-knuckled fingers as he tottered over to the knitting basket. An oversized whicker seashell overflowing with yarn bundles, strategically placed between the tickling reach of Nana Moira's fingers and the decadent warmth of the crackling fire.
I flicked a stream of water at him as Socks settled down, salted droplets sparkling as they dusted the air, raining down like diamonds on his onyx and snow fur.
Socks barely noticed—an old game, this one, like Nana Moira's jokes and cackling laughter—and he an old puss. Ancient, by feline standards at nine and ninety years. Wise as the broad-winged owl who sheltered in Nana Moira's barn, and grown accustomed to his comforts.
The soft food Nana Moira fed him, and the touch of her gentle, skilled fingers. The warmth of the glowing fire, the occasional fat mouse with which to amuse himself. Socks mounted his throne of yarn with stiff-legged steps and settled into a softly carved out nest. A lick at his tail-thin and worn like all the rest of him—and he erupted with purr, clockworks ticking like castanets inside his belly and chest.
Nana Moira touched at him, and at her temple, her own emaciated breast. Storm grey eyes looking sad now, wrinkled face—once so beautiful, now an aged, sage roadmap one and thirty and one years in the making—turning thoughtful. Filling with regret.
Daidoe Seamus looked at me, freckled hand lifting to turn the key embedded in his chest. A sigh escaped him—dry as dust, a sound of aspen leaves fluttering in a winter wind—as he stepped close to Nana Moira's chair, knelt down and took her head between his hands.
Stroked her cheek as the light in her eyes dimmed, and her heart—overburdened by one hundred and thirty and one years of love and learning and infinite patience—slowed its beating. Thumped once and stopped.
Socks yowled pitifully from his woolen string lair. Daidoe Seamus yowled with him—a groaning, moaning, grief—filled wail of despair.
And I…I was dutiful. I was granddaughter and the last of our line. Witness to Nana Moira's last breath.
Helpless. Useless. Just like when Mama passed.
Not this time, I decided. Not again.
Daidoe Seamus bowed his head in mourning, clockworks ticking endlessly inside his chest, as I took up Nana Moira's needles—stretching to take them from her hand. Balanced those silvered spears with exhausting exactness, holding them carefully in my tentacle hands.
Steeled myself as I drove the points downward, piercing one Kraken leg and another, black blood spurting in fountains, turning green as ichor, as poison most foul. Swirled in snaking patterns, mixing with the oily brine of my bath.
A last sharp-tipped puncture and I dragged myself from the salt soup that sustained me, flopped to the floor and tentacle-walked to the corner and Nana Moira's chair. Conscious of Socks watching me, golden eyes shining with fire. Of Daidoe Seamus cranking his heart-shaped key, priming the heart-shaped organ sitting inside his chest.
He stood, kissing Nana Moira's cooling hand before backing away, standing betwixt Socks and the fire's flames. The two of them bearing mute witness as I, in the firelight, scaled the wooden frame of Nana Moira's perch. Clutched at her woolens to hug her to me and splay my tentacled body across her chest.
Held her tightly, like a lover in the night. Sobbing softly as I reached for the last of Nana Moira's workings, gathering the trailing end of yarn dangling from her limp, dead hand. A touch at her cheek to inject the poison and I slowly, painstakingly rebuilt the patterns. Knitting myself to her. Creating a replacement for Nana Moira's stone dead heart.

Rita Coolidgeadmin2015-08-01T08:13:49+00:00
″…one of the most versatile singers of the rock generation…″
Rita's credentials are the stuff of legend. After earning a degree in art at Florida State University, the Tennessee native decided to give music a shot before settling into a career as an art teacher. She moved to Memphis and was soon singing jingles, demos and background vocals for a number of area bands. Among them was a husband and wife duo, Delaney & Bonnie. When the pair signed their record deal, Rita suddenly found herself on big-time pop music's leading edge. Her reputation as an A-list backup singer spread quickly. Joe Cocker enlisted her in that role and as a featured soloist on his Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour. (Rita performed a song she'd co-written, ″Superstar,″ which would later be a huge hit for The Carpenters.) Work with other rock royalty followed, including tours and recordings with Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Leon Russell and Stephen Stills. In 1971, A&M Records moguls Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss signed her to the label, and one of the most enduring solo careers in all of music was underway.
Rita released more than a dozen albums in the years to follow, including 1978's multi-platinum Anytime… Anywhere. Several of her singles would become classics; ″We're All Alone,″ ″Higher And Higher″ and ″The Way You Do The Things You Do″ all qualify as ″career″ songs. She's performed with high-profile pals like George Harrison, Roger Waters, Robbie Robertson and Jimmy Buffett. In 1973, Rita married singer, songwriter and actor Kris Kristofferson. During their eight-year union the pair teamed up for a number of hits and was twice named Country Duo of the Year. Her ″Love Came For Me″ appeared on the soundtrack of the movie Splash, ″All Time High″ was the theme for the James Bond thriller Octopussy and ″Heart Don't Fail Me Now″ (with Lee Greenwood) was used as a recurring theme for the CBS daytime drama As The World Turns. When the cable music channel VH1 debuted, she was also one of its original ″veejays.″
In the 90s, her place in popular music secured, Rita began devoting more time, energy and talent to other concerns. Her own Cherokee heritage inspired increasing involvement in projects that would benefit or call attention to Native American music, culture and issues. She joined the group Walela (Cherokee for ″Hummingbird″) a few years ago with her sister, Priscilla Coolidge and niece, Laura Satterfield. Critics and listeners alike have embraced the trio, whose performances have included the internationally televised Opening Ceremonies for the 2002 Winter Olympics along with Robbie Robertson, someone she cites as being sensitive to the musical void that exists for Native Americans. The connection between this style and her more ″mainstream″ music, she feels, is a natural one. Rita was honored with a ″Lifetime of Musical Achievement″ award at the 2002 First Americans in the Arts Awards, as well as being the recipient of a ″Native American Music Award for Lifetime Achievement.″
″Like most people of my generation, when I hear the term 'soul' or 'R & B', I'm thinking of Sam Cooke, Otis Redding…But any time the spirit is speaking through the music, that's soul in a very pure sense of the word. I don't know what to call the music most people know me for, really. I guess that's one of the things I like most about it—it's really impossible to categorize.
I want to hear music breathe. It has to have some open space; otherwise it's just a compacted bunch of sound. I'm not a vocal gymnast, and I wouldn't sing that way if I were. No matter how many notes you can make fit into a phrase, there'll be a couple that really count. Those are the ones I want to sing. ″
Rita Coolidge's impact is undiminished—her voice as pure, sweet and powerful as ever and her ability to get inside a song honed by experience and overview.
″ I guess the fact that I'm still here means I must be doing something right," she laughs. "It's good to know that people who've liked what I do for all these years still like what I do, and at the same time it sounds good to people who weren't even born when I started out. And it's especially satisfying because I've made a record that's really true to the style of music I love. How can you ask for more than that?″

Folk/Acoustic
Watch: Alasdair Bouch – "Bed Of Happiness"
By Harri Gibson ⋅ July 6, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment
Filed Under Alasdair Bouch
Folk blues artist Alasdair Bouch has released a music video for Bed Of Happiness a track off of his debut album titled First Person Singular. Bouch's work is a combination of urban folk and blue-eyed soul which in turn produces melodic hook-filled tracks. With twenty years experience, his trademark confessional autobiographical tone is very much so present in his slower track, Bed Of Happiness. Watch the video below!
Alasdair Bouch has three albums in his discography so far which you can stream selected tracks of here and purchase on iTunes. Currently living in the Czech Republic, Bouch has played more than four hundred shows across Europe and has just released Third Time Lucky, which sees him take a more rhythm-'n'-blues-infused rock style approach to his songwriting.
"Fans who came regularly to shows would pester me doggedly about particular songs by name, asking me when I would commit them to disc," says Alasdair. "I'd been sitting on a lot of songs, waiting for the album with the right vibe, but the audience definitely helped out with the tracklist! Then once I got the band in the rehearsal room, it quickly took shape. Our new drummer Míra is a powerhouse – it clearly wasn't going to be a quiet album!" Pick up a limited edition hand-numbered CD in record stores worldwide or get the digital version here. For more information follow him on Facebook and check out his Twitter and be sure to catch him on his European Summer Tour!

As a freight broker, you often face competing demands. On one side you have commercial shippers that want to pay your invoices in 30, 60 or even 90 days and on the other hand you have motor carriers that need fuel advances now and want to be paid immediately. This situation puts the freight broker in the middle of a cash flow imbalance.
If you have reserves of working capital, you can pay your carriers immediately and simply wait for your clients to pay. If you don't have deep reserves or if your freight business is growing quickly, you may not be able to pay right away and this situation could lead to unhappy motor carriers. However, it can also affect your work with your customers.
Take on more loads: You could unknowingly be damaging your relationship with existing clients because you are unable to take on more loads due to cash flow issues. When you partner with a factoring company, you will receive upfront payment for your invoices which will in turn enable you to take on more loads.
Work with creditworthy clients: While your business might already be offering prompt customer service and outstanding delivery times, relationships can turn sour when some clients don't pay invoices on time or turn out to have credit problems of their own. Factoring companies review the credit quality of your new clients as well as your existing customer base, which will help you determine which clients have good payment habits. This will enable you to only work with the best clients.
Remove yourself from the collection process: A factoring company will handle collecting from your customers. They usually have a team of highly experienced collections professionals who will do all the calling and administration involved with receiving payments for you. This allows you to focus on customer service while the factoring company handles your collections.
Interstate Capital, one of the industry's top transportation factoring companies, has worked with thousands of freight brokers to help them improve their customer service with better cash flow. In addition, the factoring experts at Interstate Capital can offer brokers unique value-added services that save them time and money.

Leben und Wirken
Moreau begann autodidaktisch mit 14 Jahren Schlagzeug zu spielen. Daneben malte er. Seit 1994 begleitete er Chansonsänger wie Patrick Bruel (seinen Halbbruder), Jean-Louis Aubert, Alain Souchon, Arthur H, Sophia Charaï (Mouja) oder Mathieu Boogaerts, mit denen er mehrere Alben aufnahm. Seit seiner Jugend interessierte er sich zudem für Jazz; seine ersten Schritte in diesem Genre machte er bei Michel Portal im Jahr 2006.

The Members In Session – 1981 – Past Daily Soundbooth

The Members – 40 years and going strong.
https://oildale.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/02223203/The-Members-In-session-Apri-1-1981.mp3
The Members – in session for John Peel – April 1, 1981 – BBC Radio 1.
The Members in session tonight. Their third and last session for John Peel at BBC Radio 1, recorded on April 1, 1981 and broadcast on the 13th of that month.
The Members were formed by lyricist Nicky Tesco (Nick Lightowlers) in 1976, through an invited audition at a recording studio at Tooley Street, London. The original personnel, with Tesco (vocals), was Gary Baker (guitar), and Steve Morley (bass guitar), initially with Steve Maycock then Clive Parker (drums). Morley and Parker were later replaced by Chris Payne and Adrian Lillywhite.
In 1976, the band performed for its first engagements at The Red Cow (London W6), The Windsor Castle (London W9) and The Nashville Rooms (London W14). In that year composer Jean Marie Carroll (aka JC Carroll) joined the band to complement Tesco's lyrics. The Members had recorded a number of songs, but the first released recording was "Fear on the Streets", produced by Lillywhite's brother Steve Lillywhite. This song was included on the first record released by the Beggars Banquet label, the punk compilation Streets (1977). The song-writing collaboration between Tesco and Carroll moved The Members' sound towards an incorporation of reggae, shown in the first single released for Stiff Records, "Solitary Confinement", produced by Larry Wallis. Following these releases, band personnel became Tesco (vocals), Carroll (vocals and guitar), Nigel Bennett (guitar), Payne (bass) and Lillywhite (drums).
The band broke up in 1983, when Tesco left the band after the last tour of the US. Lillywhite went on to join the band King in the mid-1980s in time for their second album. Lloyd soon joined the Australian band Icehouse, remaining with them for their international smash hits "Electric Blue" and "Crazy." In 1989, Tesco appeared in Leningrad Cowboys Go America, written and directed by Aki Kaurismäki, a film about a fictional Russian rock band touring the US. This fictional band then toured as an actual band, and recorded the Tesco song "Thru the Wire". Kaurismäki directed a video for "Thru the Wire", featuring Tesco. As well as working as a music journalist for the magazine Music Week, Tesco has been a commentator on new releases for BBC 6 Music's "Roundtable".
In 2007, The Members were reunited at The Inn on the Green, Ladbroke Grove, London.
For a taste of what they were up to in 1981, here is that Peel session in all its glory to play as loud as you can, or not.

F.W. vom Scheidt June 30, 2009
How much money is too much? And how fast is too fast in life? Investment star Paris Smith steps onto the top rungs of the corporate ladder, only to discover he is caught between his need for fulfillment and his need for understanding, between his drive for power and his inability to cope with his growing emptiness where there was once love. When his wife disappears from the core of his life, Smith's loneliness and sense of disconnection threaten to overwhelm him. When he tries to compensate by losing himself in his work, he stumbles off the treadmill of his own success, and is entangled in the web of a fraudulent bond deal that threatens to derail his career and his life. Forced to put his personal life on hold while he travels non-stop between Toronto, Singapore, and Bangkok to salvage his career, the embattled financier is deprived of the time and space he needs to mourn the absence of his wife and to objectively assess his future options. In the heat, turmoil and fast money of Southeast Asia half a world from home and half a life from his last remembered smile Paris Smith finds duplicity, comradeship, and power. He also finds a special woman who might heal his heart. The gripping tale is told by a talented new author, F.W. vom Scheidt, who has confidently crafted a fast-paced, highly readable novel. His details are fascinating. His characters are real and not easily forgotten.
