T-Mobile US encourages smartphone promiscuity

T-Mobile Legere Happy

T-Mobile US has a habit of doing things that people don’t expect, to such an extent that it’s now expected. One of the latest moves is to have a go at rejuvenating the subsidized smartphone model.

The T-Mobile JUMP! On Demand offering is not a new one, but it is one which has been given a bit of the Uncarrier love. It’s essentially a lease mobile contract, which allowed customers to exchange their device three times a year, but this has now been updated to once a month! The only conditions are the returned phone has to be in ‘good’ condition and users can only change to devices they haven’t had before.

On the surface of things, it seems too good to be true. Users can change their devices almost as often as they like, admittedly this increases the payment which will have to be made to T-Mobile US at the end of the 18-month lease period should they want to keep the phone, but you have to question where T-Mobile US is making money. One might assume that T-Mobile US is going to be super-stringent on the condition of the devices, or that there will be something buried down deep in the T&Cs, but it does look to be a pretty good deal on the surface.

Admittedly, there aren’t that many people who would want to change their devices that often, but it does allow users to take advantage of deals on devices. Samsung has previously given away six-month subscriptions to Netflix, free 256GB microSD cards, and Gear VR controllers to those pre-ordering its flagships. There will be a few who will take advantage of this deal.

So where is T-Mobile making money? Maybe that isn’t the initial intention. Many said that it wouldn’t be able to make money off unlimited data plans, that was against industry trends of course, but it collected so many customers on those deals the economy of scale kicked in. Maybe it is the same here? Like Jio, T-Mobile is hording customers and increasing the stickiness of the brand, knowing that the long-term gain will be substantial. It would be considered a calculated and cunning ploy, but they are German descendants after all.

What this means in the wider landscape is just another headache. The likes of AT&T and Verizon did a lot last year to move people away from unlimited data plans, but then T-Mobile US turned up and reversed that trend with an Uncarrier move. Now it would appear to be trying the same with subsidized phone contracts. Everyone is trying to steer clear of the less-economical options, but John Legere and his magenta army are changing the rules again.

Whether this is enough to turn global trends around is possibly a bit unlikely, but if it proves to be successful, it might makes the likes of AT&T and Verizon do a bit of backtracking.

Another interesting idea is T-Mobile ONE Unlimited 55+. It is essentially a contract aimed at the baby boomer generation, a demographic which is often overlooked by competitors. For most, targeting the lucrative millennials, or those who are starting families in their 30s, is the primarily objective, but Legere’s latest installment is a new one.

Starting August 9, customers who qualify will can get two lines of T-Mobile ONE for $60. That comes with unlimited talk, text and 4G LTE data (though some heavy users have been throttled in the past), as well as all the other benefits.

“For years, the carriers have been patronizing the generation that invented wireless. They thank these mobile pioneers by selling dumbed down ‘senior’ plans with exactly zero data and – get this – night and weekend minutes! That’s not just idiotic — it’s insulting!” said Legere. “Today, the Uncarrier ends this ridiculousness with T-Mobile ONE Unlimited 55+ – an offer that recognizes how Boomers and beyond actually use their smartphones!”

It might not be as such a long-term strategy as target those in their 30s and generating loyalty, but there are 93 million Americans in the US over age 55. 74% have a smartphone on which they spend 149 minutes a day. This is quite a bit less than a millennial, but it is still a hefty market where money can be made.

Ayahuasca, the Vine of Souls: Part 2

The second post in a two-part installment on my initial encounters with the visionary plant medicine of ayahuasca. ～ LRH

❧ ❧ ❧

Three months have passed since my initial ceremony with ayahuasca, the entheogenic medicine from the Amazon; an initiatory experience wherein I was ritually dismembered by the plant’s spirit embodied as a powerful black jaguar, and then restored on a deep, core level—catapulted into multidimensional realms hitherto unimagined and unexplored.

Profound and continuing changes have unfurled in me since that night—the single most powerful healing I have ever experienced, and this I say as a healer of more than two decades. Several physical patterns of restriction and holding in my body (neck, shoulder, hip), that I had attempted for years to resolve with all sorts of therapies and modalities, have entirely shifted and released. Yet perhaps the most noticeable and dramatic transformation is that the dark clouds of depression, a sullen greyness that I have lived under for most of my life, have lifted and not returned. Really, it borders on miraculous. Beyond the body or moods, my whole life feels different these days, suffused with a gentle luminosity rather than lingering shadows.

Thus again, I have traveled north to a remote location on the Pacific coast where fragrant conifers stand watch over a ceremonial kiva, a great round chamber excavated in the earth where an elderly medicine man, wearing a headdress of blue macaw feathers, presides over a circle of roughly fourteen participants—all of whom have come in search of some type of deep healing, mystical guidance, or renewal in their lives.

Like the previous experience, I have undertaken a prescribed cleansing diet for roughly a week beforehand, that I heightened by completely fasting for the final three days—similar to undertaking a ‘vision quest’ of sorts, as I have in the past. My bodysoul feels light and clear, inaudibly humming with a high vibration. Almost shimmering as if illuminated by distant star fire.

In the candlelit cave-like room, the air thickly perfumed with smoke from burning white sage, from a Dixie cup handed to me by the shaman I’ve swallowed a small amount of dark brown liquid that tastes something like molasses mixed with kerosine. Sitting for awhile, waiting for the mysterious plant medicine to come on, I decide to exit the hot, stuffy kiva and be outside with the noble trees and rising moon on this alluring August evening.

Three of us have gathered by the welcoming campfire, each with our bucket in case of an unexpected ‘purge’, and silently we sit, listening to the crackle of flames as they hungrily devour the logs, watching hot golden sparks shoot upwards toward the fading sky. The air smells freshly of oceanside evergreens, and occasionally from the womb of the great kiva rises the cracked, gravelly voice of the medicine man singing his songs, the cadence of his drum like a distant heartbeat. I feel just a bit disconnected from the group and the ceremonial container of the circle, but it also feels right to be beside the fire, savouring the fair, coastal night.

At a certain point, feeling some numbness in my face and tingling in my limbs, detecting that the medicine is beginning to come on, thinking I should go back into the kiva and lay down before the full effects hit hard like last time, I hear Mother Ayahuasca clearly speak to me—a voice I now recognize—indicating that the psychotropic potion is indeed taking hold.

Stay where you are.

A journey beside the flames, watching the Fire Elementals appear

It feels clearly like an instruction, so I remain in my chair beside the fire pit, observing the flames unexpectedly come to life with dancing Fire Elementals, the nature spirits often known as Salamanders. Sensing that fairly soon I will want or need to lie down, suddenly I wish that I had brought my pad and sleeping bag from the kiva. Already I am slightly too impaired to navigate back into the great chamber and return carrying my things, but I don’t want to request help from one of the ‘sitters’, the experienced assistants who tend participants in the group during a ceremony. Sitting with my reluctance, observing my own character strategy quite clearly—the need to be independent and a reluctance to ask for help—again I hear Mother Ayahuasca speak.

You don’t have to do this alone. In fact, you are NEVER doing it alone… anything in life. Simply ask and then be supported.

Thus I practice unfamiliar behavior in asking for assistance, and the sitter kindly brings not only the pad and sleeping bag but also my pillow. For a minute, I allow myself to simply feel the experience of being bolstered in such a request—taking it in as a sort of psychological resource, a missing experience—noting the softening in my belly and sensation of warmth in my core as I turn the words over in my mind, almost like a mantra: you are never doing it alone.

As a clairvoyant healer who can ‘hear’ guides and disincarnate entities, and occasionally see them, I know her statement rings true. Still, our patterns and projections hold us until we relinquish them, one way or another. Tonight I will let myself be supported… first step of a change.

❧ ❧ ❧

Comfortably recumbent as the visionary brew slowly comes on with its effects, I listen to the snaps and pops of hungry flames while watching the glow of firelight upon the tall conifers overhead. Tonight will be a full moon but it has not yet risen, and in the periwinkle twilight, small bats twirl dizzily amid silhouetted trees as the first twinkling stars begin to appear. The sky fades to purple while I follow the throaty calls of raven, along with the shack-shack-shack of a pair of black-crested Steller’s Jays in the branches above me, loving all their raucous voices and smiling. In this timeless and unspoiled environment, a ripple of true joy echoes like quiet thunder throughout my wild soul, and there is nowhere I’d rather be.

I love seeing you here with the trees.

Mother Ayahuasca’s voice in my head almost startles me. The medicine is gradually growing stronger but I haven’t yet ‘felt’ her approach or presence. Meanwhile, Nature boy that I am, in my very bones I’m rejoicing to be with the noble Standing Ones under a darkening dome of sky, feeling eager rather than apprehensive about the oncoming visionary journey. Reading my thoughts, she speaks again.

Patience, beloved. There is no need to rush. I have long hours to dance with you tonight… and we are just beginning.

Indeed, the experience feels like a sweetly loving two-step, and then suddenly I ‘see’ her as before, the sleek black jaguar with glowing green eyes, but rather than tearing the holding(s) from my body like last time, she affectionately rubs against me with an approving rumble in her chest, almost like a giant house cat.

You’ve shown me your devotion, she says, and I can sense her warm approbation.

This initial wave of effects still feels quite mild, as if I’ve simply smoked a bit of cannabis, and I’m considering drinking an additional dose when it’s offered roughly and hour and a half into the ceremony. I’ve already lost track of time, but on a scale of intensity, last journey was a 10+ and so far, this experience pales in comparison. I had braced myself for another extreme episode of having my mind blown open, yet somehow it feels completely appropriate to have a gentle, manageable ride… or a slow dance.

I’m invited (instructed?) to sit up and engage visually with the other participants who are fireside, two women, one of whom has begun vomiting loudly into her plastic bucket.

Send them some healing energy…

A ‘sitter’ is nearby to assist, but across the crackling flames I send waves of energy from my hands and heart, wishing the deepest healing to the woman purging as she expels some old aspect of herself. This is the work we’re all here to do in one form or another: releasing the past and patterns that no longer serve our highest good.

Laying down again, some colourful visuals dance behind my eyes—swirling patterns of cosmic circuitry, morphing between geometric designs and pulsing fractals of energy and light—but they are far less intense than my previous experience.

Like a prayer hung upon the evening breeze, threads of the shaman’s voice drift from the kiva some thirty yards away, and again I feel a fleeting yearning to be inside with the others, but I trust that I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be—where I’ve been instructed to remain. And suddenly I’m chuckling at myself, for here I am outside and apart from a group, something of a loner and recluse, enacting a pattern that is SO well-worn and familiar. Yet tonight it is also very right.

The Hermit of the Tarot, one of the Major Arcana, flashes briefly through my mind.  Wearing a robe or hooded cloak and carrying his lantern, able to see only a few steps at at time while ascending and spiraling the mountain in search of higher knowledge and inner wisdom, he patiently follows his solitary path to connect with the spiritual self. It’s an archetype I’ve long resonated with—ever since living alone in a shaman’s adobe tower on the edge of a wild mesa amid thousands of acres of piñon and juniper—and I wonder, as I have before, will my own lantern eventually light the way for others…?

Bones, sticks, fur, feathers, and Tarot

❧ ❧ ❧

Per the group instruction, and as with my initial ceremony a few months ago, I’ve set several healing intentions for this sacred circle. These include: being a surrogate for any healing work for my stepmother as she struggles with cancer; asking for family lineage repair and healing, especially for my recently met half-brothers with whom I am beginning to build relationship, men who carry the same birth legacy of depression, bipolar tendencies, and generational suicide; and for myself, further insight into path and work, along with finding my place in the world. Rather a tall order.

Shall we begin looking at your intentions…? queries the Jaguar in my mind.

One by one, through a combination of her voice and streaming visuals, she leads me down the path of what I have asked for this night. The purple sky darkens to blue velvet scattered with diamonds, and as the hours slip away I engage in healing work throughout the tangled web of my human family relationships.

Indeed, I realize that everything she and I are undertaking tonight relates to family, and at some point, as my eyes open to consider the luminous pearl of moon, the firelight-illuminated tree above me suddenly becomes a living metaphor of my ‘family tree’—despite that I was adopted and possess only a minimal, recently acquired sense of blood ties after meeting my birthmother and her sisters.

Amid the night’s shadows and firelight, the attendants occasionally move about, covering us with additional blankets, adding logs to the flames, ‘smudging’ us journeyers with smoky blessings of white sage and fragrant palo santo using an owl or hawk’s wingOnce or twice, I’m aware that someone is assisting the woman still purging into her bucket, and later helping the other woman to the outhouse, but I’m unclear which of the sitters is nearby and it doesn’t really matter.

I am tended, warm, and utterly safe. Tears of gratitude stream from the corners of my eyes, washing warmly down my checks like little rivers of sparkling moonlight, for beneath these watchful trees I am undergoing a sublime journey and healing experience, as gentle as the first ceremony was rough.

See? I can be as loving and kind as I am ferocious.

There is a continued releasing of holding patterns, mostly on the right side of my physical and energetic bodies, corresponding to the masculine, but much, much milder than last journey. Like clouds parting and a ray of sunlight shining through, I see myself as I truly am—River of stars, trees and earth—an ancient soul deeply connected to the livingness of Gaia, just as in so many lifetimes before. This too makes me weep.

Amid the trees, doorways opening to other realms and healing

Continuing the insights and instructions received at the end of my previous journey, when Mother Ayahuasca reminded me and focused upon my role as a healer, I am shown multiple facets of my work—the Sacred Masculine, teaching, healing, writing—along with how those pieces will be supported in tangible ways by different places on earth (namely California, New Mexico, and dear old England, where I resided some years previously).

I cannot recall the last time I cried from a feeling of love. Gazing upwards at the full, radiant goddess of moon beyond the shadowed redwoods, tears continue to flow from a heart brimming with a primal, ageless connection with wild beauty. I am a wellspring of gratitude for the sweet solace that nature has given me for so very long, while I’ve wandered through the various wildernesses of this life, inner and outer, carrying my sadness like a bundle of dreams wrapped in tattered blue silk.

Silently I pray—to the trees, stars, moon, spirits, and Mother Ayahuasca—that someday soon, very soon, the gypsy who I am will find the place to call home that deeply nourishes me on all levels, that I may continue bringing forth from the soul what is uniquely mine to offer to the ‘other-than-human’ world.

As if in response to my entreaty, I feel myself drawing strength on this gentle journey—from Her, from the earth, and from unseen forces around me—as if a honeyed light or warmth flows into my very cells from invisible roots or filaments. And in that moment, I deeply trust that Spirit and this medicine knows exactly what I need, along with where I am headed; whereupon I promptly yawn in a massive energetic shift that I recognize as a loud ‘yes’ signal from my guides and Highest Self.

Blessed be, River.

❧ ❧ ❧

A beautiful female voice is singing, arising from the kiva. Surely she must be an angel…? My heart opens golden wings in response, ready to take flight. And in an ensuing moment of crystalline clarity, though the scope of the insight defies all words, I see (feel? grasp?) that everything in the universe is becoming—evolving into its perfect fullness and destiny. Each of us is an integral part of this ongoing, wild blossoming of soul, nature, and God consciousness.

Tonight’s journey is winding down and lessening, like a summer rainstorm moving on across some high desert plateau. Wordlessly I remark upon its gentleness, expressing my sincere appreciation, to which she responds:

The difficult part is over… for now. Going forward, the hard part will be healing for others.

In a final benediction or a charge laid upon me as a summons, as if I were some sort of knight or initiate, Mother Ayahuasca instructs that I begin apprenticing to this visionary medicine work as a healer—informing me that one day I will be a medicine man/shaman who leads others into these realms for deepest healing of mind, body, spirit and soul.

Can one even refuse such a behest? Eyes still wet with tears, staring up at a fistful of glittering jewels flung across the inky sky, knowing that my entire life is about to change, I humbly accept.

Unexpected, this, but so it begins.

I am a wild becoming…

❧ ❧ ❧

I cannot guess the hour, only that it is very late at night or possibly early morning. I’ve returned to the warm, timeless cocoon of the kiva, seated atop my mat among the other participants, and the single white candle on the central altar has burned low. Again the air is thick with pungent smoke from sacred ‘smudging’ herbs, and in the shadows of the large chamber, a handmade pottery bowl containing crumbled up animal cookies and blessed water passes slowly from person to person. When the vessel reaches them, each participant sits up and takes it in hand, holding it to the heart, and speaks aloud—sending prayers of “sweet medicine” into the world. This is the transpersonal closing of the ceremony, wherein the work that we have collectively done for healing ourselves is now ushered outwards to others in the great web of life. It is a ritual that takes at least hour, but my already thankful heart opens yet wider to encompass the whole of humanity and earth, and I am steeped in tenderness, compassion, and even deeper gratitude.

❧ ❧ ❧

Cosmic mind

In the passage of time since my initial journeys, I have come to know Mother Ayahuasca intimately, yet like so much of the cosmos, she remains an unfathomable mystery. Just as I intuited that night, my entire life changed as a result of the shamanic initiation that subsequently unfolded—a rigorous, repeated, and sustained plunge into chthonic realms of healing, learning to work within the multidimensional realms of this powerful medicine that I might hold the space for others. Even as a healer, I’ve undergone a global shift, from diet and personal habits to self-care, my relationships included, all in support of this path.

More than ever before, I’m convinced that shamans are called. Anything less than such a summons—say, making the choice for an ego-based sense of self rather than soul, or as a identity/badge to wear—is woefully insufficient to carry one along the utterly demanding journey of initiation: the breaking open (both internally and into larger dimensions), repeated sacrifice, and unwavering devotion to an uphill, rocky climb.

Of my own apprenticeship as a medicine man, I will say little here, other than that the passage has been truly difficult—the most challenging thing I’ve ever undertaken. I have been left shattered and weeping upon the floor, and more than once I’ve been carried to bed after a healing, having given more than I thought humanly possible—and just as foretold by Mother Ayahuasca, the hardest parts have been what I’ve undertaken for others.

While I appreciate the Plant Teachers or Master Plants are perhaps the most powerful evolutionary force we can enlist for aid in our personal transformation, for at least a dozen reasons they aren’t for everyone. By her own words, Mother Ayahuasca is “not a magic wand.” Further, in a culture that doesn’t understand and cannot contextualize such medicine, finding the appropriate resources—especially for the essential integration afterwards, similar to when one returns from a vision quest in the wilderness—is a key factor in whether or not the changes will be lasting. (An increasing amount of my work centers upon integration coaching and counseling for those who have undertaken these journeys.)

Nothing about this work is recreational; simply the purging should offer a clue to that. Moreover, I have come to understand that the most profound levels of healing with plant allies—just as with working with any spirit or entity—are reserved for those who come in a respectful and ceremonial fashion, with an open heart and mind, willing to engage in a reciprocal relationship.

In our own ways, each of us seeks healing. We might call that a quest for meaning, or wholeness, or connection; it may be a spiritual path or looking for our place in the world. Yet all of these are simply other facets of healing and the process of finding our own light, along with the gift we have to offer.

Friend, wherever the trail leads you, whether to a medicine ceremony, to a mountaintop, or some other avenue of healing, may you find the soul courage to enter the darkest, most challenging places within yourself, to say ‘yes’ to them and, in doing so, uncover your innermost light.

To the best of your ability, trust the Mystery.

No matter how it may seem, you are never doing it alone.

A ceremonial altar

Multi Table Texas Holdem Poker

I have not played much texas holdem poker since before the holidays, and frankly, the last time I Played I was terribly dissapointed once again. My son things I'm the un-luckiest person around! WHY? Because I rarely win any type of race, even though I go into them with the best hand. Time after time, I get sucked out on the river after making the correct read, and pushing with the best hand.... I know the odds are supposed to be in my favor, but it's pretty tiring to get sucked out on 90% of the time.

Anyways, I decided to play a couple of Multi Table Texas Holdem poker tournaments yesterday. They were both low limit $5 buy in. One was a 45 player event, the other was a 27 player event. I was doing VERY well in the 27 player, taking a good pot on the first hand, after hitting a set of 9's on the flop... I played patientely, and was rewarded...

In the 45 player event, I was not catching many flops, and when I got pretty short, I pushed with a pair of Q's. I was called with KJo... who of course hit a K on the river to knock me out.... again....

So, back to the 27 player event.... I made it to the final table with a moderate stack, somewhat shy of average, but the big stack had a HUGE advantage, with 30K+ and the next big stack being 8K, so my 4K was not bad. I was NOT the sort stack for a change.

I sat tight for a while and let people beat on each other, and waited for some premium hands to play. When we were down to 5, I made a couple of moves, and found myself with 12K. That original big stack was replaced with another player.

I ended up going heads up with the original big stack player, going in as the dog, but after a few hands, I had the lead. We went back and forth for a while, when I pushed my stack with a small pocket pair, only to find him with a BIGGER small pocket pair! ;-)

After the results I have been logging over the past couple mouths, I'll settle for second! Texas Holdem Poker is a strange game!

Were these online games or live. I myself have been playing online for months and have come to the conclusion that the game is rigged for the benefit of new players. In the first eight days of play I made the finale table four times and this is with a field of 1200-2000 players. Since then I have not been able to get anywhere except in one freeroll for a million dollar tourny (I won a seat). Sure, I win my money back almost half the time but that's it. Every single game has ended with a bad beat or a lost coin toss. I just can't get anywhere.
Anyway, if your playing online maybe that's why your having such a bad time.

Most successful business leaders and individuals would agree that your business has to keep constantly moving forward and even re-inventing itself, if necessary.

In hindsight, some less than successful corporate shepherds will agree that moving forward is a better idea than just “seeing what develops” and then finally reacting.

As the case of Kodak has shown, nothing really develops anymore and no one really wants to buy cheap printers from among a plethora of cheap printers available from established market leaders

Dead SharkTreading water isn’t a very good option, because sooner or later, you end up sinking or being eaten by a shark. As so poignantly stated in “Annie Hall,” a shark….. has to be constantly moving forward or it dies.

Sears anyone?

But just look at IBM.

How much does the 2012 iteration resemble that of 1985? The change at IBM was more than just a move away from the obligation to wear white button downs.These days, if you seen an IBM logo on a laptop, you can be certain that it’s not going to be anew ultra portable.

Been there, done that and moved forward.

Whether through acquisition or playing to the strengths of your key players, successful companies manage to be ahead of the curve and anticipate the movement of the marketplace.

They don’t ask you for your zip code when you buy a pack of off-brand batteries

This past Friday was a big day for Standard and Poors and specifically for their Sovereign Ratings Committee, headed by John Chambers, the one not of Cisco fame (or infamy, depending on your perspective.)

Chambers had caught some significant missives hurled his way after his committee downgraded US debt just a few short months ago.

I was among those a little upset with the call and even had the audacity to question Chambers’ credentials, since after all, he was neither an economist, an MBA or anything remotely related to  such weighty  fiscal analysis.

He held a Masters in English Literature from Grinnell College. A fine institution, I’m sure, as they do not currently offer programs that allow the entire curricula to be accessed while in pajamas only.

In the meantime, he’s been a busy guy, in charge of a committee that is becoming a household word.

This time attention was all on the European Union and the downgrade of France’s national debt, in addition to its downgrades of Italy, Spain, Cyprus, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Malta.

Or as most people would refer to the final three: “Who?”

On top of that, with the creation of the European Union, Standard and Poors was able to also downgrade the derivative creation, the European Financial Stability Facility, as its rating is based upon the ratings of its component nations

Let’s face it. The invention of the European Union has been great business for the rating agencies. A mere 20 years ago, what kind of sovereign debt was really there to even bother assigning a rating to? Even China wasn’t on the map a generation ago, much less Slovakia, Estonia and some lesser known countries.

European Financial Stability Facility?

That’s like a bonus for the rating agency. It’s not even a country. Who would have imagined that there would ever be such a thing that would even need to be rated?

But you have to recognize when you’ve hit your peak.

Bruce SPringsteen sang “Glory Days” as sad testament to those who don’t realize that the peak has come and gone and are caught in that downward spiral.

Standard and Poors’ glory days are now and it needs to realize that.

Or die alongside the shark

First there were the “BRIC” nations, Brazil, Russia, India and China, which at the time were a reflection of the booming economies in the nations that were driving world growth. Those were heady times.

Then we all remember the “PIIG” nations, the ones that reflected the frightening downside of the faltering banking systems of the likes of Portugal, Italy, Ireland and Greece.

Once S&P gets though the next ratings assessment on the CRAP nations (Czech Republic, Romania, Austria and Poland) it will need new markets.

But that’s where the real genius of John Chambers comes to play. He knows that in a changing world you do play to your strengths, so Standard and Poors will soon be expanding its reach.

With Google’s recent purchase of Zagat and its famed restaurant ratings guide, it’s clear that this is the next big market.

But Chambers has his sights set on so much more.

Beginning soon, insiders tell me, Standard and Poors will take the restaurant and movie review world by storm, distinguishing itself from the universe of review services on the basis of its fluency with the wriotten word and literary stylistics.

Taking a page from Ted Turner, who decades ago decided to colorize the world’s great cinematic efforts, Standard and Poors will start by issue reviews of classic movies and restaurants.

Early word has it that there will actually be downgrades of “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “Citizen Kane,” while “Hardee’s” restaurants will be getting a strong vote of confidence.

Clearly, the impact on related businesses is for the investor to consider.

As advertising rates go down for showings of “It’s a Wonderful Life,” consideration must be given to lightening up on media holdings, particularly those sensitive to seasonal revenues.

Would you not want to get in on the deluge of new customers to Hardee’s?

The beautiful thing is that the potential for S&P is unlimited and the nimble investor shares in those opportunities.

But why stop there? Who wouldn’t want independent ratings of everything?

I for one would like to have Chambers ply his new vision and review the value and worth of “Consumer Reports.” Maybe if that option had been around earlier, I wouldn’t have been walking around with this anger over my purchase of a 1980 Pontiac Phoenix.

Maybe had that been done in 2000, Gore would have easily won Florida’s electoral votes.

Obviously, a natural area for issuing uprades and downgrades would be on our individual actions or thoughts. I don’t have the patience to wait for 1984, when I can have it all now.

For one, I wouldn’t have minded a downgrade of my poorly conceived idea of this past Friday to sell call options on the Amazon $175 call options expiring that same day.

When I scan the grocery store aisles for toilet paper, a rating from the Sovereign Debt Committee would go a long way toward allowing me to choose with confidence and to use the product without fear of future chafing due to inadequate support structure of the underlying plies.

Real synergy arises when you realize that the Sovereign Debt Committee could actually print its latest report on the CRAP nations on toilet paper itself. Or, if truly forward looking, could market nation specific toilet paper, made entirely of their debt instruments.

Now we’re really talking out of the box thinking.

And revenues.

The kind of revenues that could make the Sovereign Debt Committee an attractive spin off to help an therwise faltering McGraw-Hill.

Obviously, the real payday for Chambers would be the purchase of the spun off Soverign Debt Committee to Google, which could then assign Chambers to use his educationally derived skills and write copy for their Daily Deals division to go head to head with Groupon and LivingSocial, until Google does what it i ordained to do, which is to let it die an ignoble death.

Maybe in this case, even movement isn’t enough for this shark.

Brenda's 3 Visions (2)

Brenda's 3 Visions and Blood In The Snow Prophecy

Adam's Comment: On March 5th, I felt a need to go back and look at 3 visions that Brenda had. Plus, I had a vision myself about Caution Tape. So on March 6th I spent several hours in receival for her visions and did not even have time to post my Caution Tape Vision. Little did I know that they were going to be connected to a prophecy which came out in the newspaper the following day. Here are the sequence of events that lead up to the confirmation and prophecy.

Adam Posted: March 6, 2008 10:28 am

Hi everyone,
Thank you Brenda for making this post. I am answering it in this thread as it was in Chris' thread. It had the subject "Change".

Here is Brenda's post: March 3, 2008 2:39 am  Post subject: Change

Hello all,
I just wanted to let you know something that has occurred in my life since I have become a visionary.  The difference I notice most is that I am less selfish in relating to others. I've always considered myself a loving person, however I'm realizing that often I had related my anger and disappointment in a destructive way. God and the Angels, thanks to this forum, are teaching me to react in love, or not to react at all. It is becoming easier for me as time progresses and I listen to that "still small voice." I continue to grow and learn. I'm grateful and humbled.

Adam said: Brenda also had series of visions back in Feb in the old forum. Here is the transcription for these vision which I received in my session with the angels this morning, and a little over a year later. March 06, 2008

Brenda's Visions   February 23, 2007, 9:43pm

Brenda said:
A quick vision before sleep last night. I saw 2 blue birds perched together on a branch feeding seeds to each other and singing delightedly.

Another vision, I was awake and was thinking about two brothers. These brothers are acquaintances of my son and he spent the afternoon with them last Sunday.

As I was thinking, a vision came to me of blood splatters all over the ground. The ground was either snow or sand, I'm not sure which.

Transcription by Adam Kadmon March 6, 2008, 10:28 a.m.

1. The answer to Brenda's post is coming for she has made a comment the angels really liked. Yes Brenda has made changes and we have lots of reasons to give her an answer. She had a vision in the old forum which was in February of 2007.

2. In the vision these two birds were perched and they were feeding each other, singing beautifully. Here is the transcription for this vision. We saved it for Brenda, just for this post that she made here.

3. This show of love indoctrinates us as visionaries. These birds symbolize the food of life that God has given to all creatures. The song they sing represents the happiness they feel while practicing a spiritual life, for God planned a spiritual life for many of his creatures.

4. God knows many of his creatures have love in their heart. These birds who were perched in your vision come with a prophecy that God will communicate with people in this forum and we shall make progress as we move forward.

5. This is a beautiful testimony you made and we need something like this from the visionaries to show that there is some progress being made. We also know that a testimony is an example of how our visionaries are learning. When we see there is benefit from this whole process, we know that this process will benefit other visionaries. When we know that we are reversing evil within ourselves we can expect to help others.

6. So now lets reverse in Brenda's reasoning here. She had a reason for posting her testimony of love. It indicates she does not have any fear that her relationship with the angels in heaven isn't making progress as a visionary. And she is learning how to listen to this small voice inside of her which comes to her spiritually in her relationships. Therefore her relationships are getting better through this learning process and it is changing her life.

7. Brenda had another vision where she was thinking about two brothers that were acquaintances of her son. These brothers were a symbol of love in a family. They are also a symbol of friendship and they are connected to the relationship of your family. So this whole connection is existing in love and is a representation of spiritual growth.

8. So why did we use them in this vision? We never know how relationships of people we love will end up in life. But if we progress lovingly in each relationship, we will have a better chance to grow spiritually in each of them and when we need it, there will be some intervention from the angels in heaven.

9. So what is this small voice that Brenda is listening to? This is the voice that we will hear as a visionary in this religion. This is the voice that comes to us personally, as intervention from heaven, to help us in our confusion. It will come naturally in God's religion and when we learn to listen to it, it will change our life.

10. So this voice that you hear is something for you personally and it will also effect your actions in relationships. This voice will help you to control the evil that is all around you through your journey in life and you will feel how heaven is affecting you.

11. Brenda had another vision where there was blood splattered in the snow. It was hard for her to determine it was snow and this will be another prophecy here. The blood was something that was causing confusion and we will reverse in the meaning of it.

12. Somebody has suffered and blood is a physical vision of something that affects us in life. When this happens it is natural to have a reaction of fear. However, when blood is spattered in sand, it does not have the same effect. The reaction to it depends on how it is visually displayed in our confusion and we will explain how this is important for this religion.
13. When there is confusion, someone is usually suffering in their life, so we will try to help them with intervention from heaven. We do not want them to have fear because it will cause them more confusion.

14. When we try to deal with problems in life with spiritual intervention, we will always have spiritual growth in our relationships. As soon as evil is splattered into different pieces, it is more diluted in our soul and it will not coagulate and cause a scar on our soul. Therefore it will be miraculously healed from heaven.

Here are the articles that came out in the Toronto Sun on March 7, 2008.

East Lake Lamb Hat and other things

Joining Ginny and Nicole.

Yesterday was hard. I screwed up. A lot. Both as a mother and a friend. Sam woke up in the middle of the night with a runny nose and I couldn’t go back to sleep for hours. I slept through my alarm. There was tantrum after tantrum, and instead of handling the situation with patience and grace, I yelled. A lot. My mother had car trouble and I rushed to pick her up, forgetting to cancel my knitting date at my house with a friend who I hadn’t seen in a while. Something I had been looking forward to for weeks. It took multiple texts from her (while she waited in my driveway) before I realized what I had done. I was late picking Sam up from school. I missed the window for Caleb’s nap and when I tried to lay him down he was so frantic and over tired he refused to sleep for the rest of the day.  I accidentally fed Eddie sour milk. I ran out of diapers. Caleb scooted/zombie crawled over to a pile of folding chairs we had leaning against the wall and pulled one down on himself. He’s fine, but it scared the shit out of me. I gave up on cooking and ordered Dominos. For lunch. I mopped the floor and while I was putting the mop away, Eddie threw up on the floor.

As the day progressed, the family cold that I had managed to avoid the past two weeks seemed to finally catch up with me and my head began to pound and my throat started to ache. More tantrums. More yelling. More tears. It was like I couldn’t stop screwing up. It’s incredibly rare that I go to bed at night feeling like a failure in all aspects of my life but yesterday was one of those days. The house was in total disarray. After the kids went to bed, I cleaned up and took a hot shower and cried into a large cup of tea (okay, fine, half tea, half whiskey). I decided not to knit, and instead curled up on the couch in front of the fire with a blanket and watched trashy television for two hours.

Yesterday was rough, but I’m determined that today will be better. Gabe is out of town for the next few days and I refuse to spend those days wallowing in self pity. As I type this, Eddie is screaming on the floor because her favorite dress is dirty and I won’t let her wear it. My optimism is already waning.

Yesterday was bad. Today will be better. If I say it enough, perhaps it will become true.

This post was supposed to be about my knitting but I ended up whining instead. Let’s focus on happy stuff now. Yarn makes everything better.

I finished my test knit for sam lamb. She will make the pattern available shorty and I highly recommend trying it out, especially if you are relatively new to colorowork. It’s not too complex and it’s so fun to see little lambs appear before your eyes as the pattern progresses. Although I knit the adult size, Sam is modeling it for me because I’m terrible at selfies. Must be a generational thing. This was my first attempt at knitting continental. I think I did an okay job. I didn’t catch my floats either, and even after blocking there is a spot where it pulls a bit because my tension is off. I’m not sure if that’s because I’m a novice at continental or because I didn’t catch my floats.

I’m still working on my Hollows shawl. I’m nearly half way through. Once I finish, I will start on Chanukah gifts. In the meantime, I’m enjoying making something just for me.

lambs and lace

Joining Ginny and Nicole.

I started the Hollows shawl a few days ago. While it’s slow going (as most lace projects are), I am enjoying this pattern immensely. The yarn is so soft and I just love my color choice. I did a quick test knit this weekend for sam lamb. It’s blocking right now and I’ll show off the finished product when it’s done, but I couldn’t resist giving you a sneak peek because, well, lambs.

This is the second week of Sam attending a “real” preschool. I enrolled him at the local Montessori school and he wuvva it. Our current co-op is just a little below his level and he was getting bored. The only other co-op in our area that has a pre-school class doesn’t allow you to bring other children unless they are enrolled and since I’m not a fan of leaving my two year old and 6 month old home alone for four hours a day, I figured I needed to enroll Sam in a different pre-school.

It’s only four days a week for a few hours. Just enough time for me to get home and get a few chores done with one less child. Even better, I’ve been spending more quality time with Eddie, which she is loving. Mostly we read books but sometimes she likes to serve me tea or watch a Disney movie together. She is obsessed with Cinderella and insists that she has a fairy godmother somewhere out there. Wouldn’t that be nice if it were true?

Happy Thanksgiving, my friends.

Odila Cape and Other Things

Joining Ginny and Nicole.

I’ve included photos of the finished Odila pullover cape. Eddie loves it and she decided to let me add the pocket. I’m glad. It looks so much better with one. You might notice her eyes are a tad red-rimmed in the photos. She threw one of her epic tantrums ten minutes prior to us walking outside and thus the worse-for-wear look about her.

My chipped manicure, on the other hand, for that I have no excuse.

I received my Quince and Co Tern in Dusk for my Hollows shawl and I had to knit up a few swatches before figuring out the needles size required to get as close to gauge as possible. I was going to start on it yesterday but on Sunday I volunteered to knit up a quick test knit for one of my favorite designers, Sam Lamb, so I’ll most likely start the shawl later in the week. Her designs are simple, cozy and always include the perfect amount of color work: just enough to make the design interesting and fun but not so much that you feel intimidated or feel like you’re committing to a project that is going to take FOR-EV-ER. Naturally, I had to purchase some new worsted weight yarn for said project so I stopped by my LYS and picked up Dream In Color Classy in Prince William. I am in love. It’s soft. It’s squishy. It has a funny name. All the important characteristics of a good yarn.

Yes, I cover my couch in blankets everyday, all day because little children have little grubby hands and if they ruined my perfect, beautifully crafted Pottery Barn couch I don’t know if I would have it in me to continue loving them.

Temperatures have dropped considerably this past week and every afternoon around 4:00PM, just before sunset, a heavy fog rolls in and blankets the property. It’s eerie and beautiful all at once and one of the many reasons why I love this time of year.

Episode 24: Titanfell

“6.0 for WoW might be out this week but there’s something at Blizzard that won’t be out as a new ghost enters the graveyard of games.”

General Blizzard

After seven years of production Blizzard finally decided to cancel Titan. It’s probably not a shocker since the earlier announcement that the game was being reevaluated. So we’ll probably never find out what Titan was going to be about, but there are some pretty good guesses out there.

If you are a fan of Blizzcon but can’t make it this year, you are probably going to buy the Virtual Pass. It has now been revealed what game rewards you will get when you buy the ticket.

Diablo 3

The Blood Shard prices for Kadala’s shop items has gone up. But luckily so has the chance to get those sought after legendary items.

World of Warcraft

Did you delete a character by mistake (or maybe in a nerd rage) then you can easily undelete it with the new restore my character in-game tool.

The last episode of Lords of War is out and this time it’s staring Maraad the Draenei who accompanied Wrynn in the previous videos. And don’t sweat it Maraad, we’ve all messed up the occasional escort quest.

Episode 18: The Warlords of Draenor Edition

“Prepare for War…lords as the street date is FINALLY revealed. And put on your wooly hat and gloves as we venture into the final wing in the Hearthstone Naxx update…”

New director says university’s Catholic Studies aims high in pursuit of faith and reason

| June 4, 2015 | 0 Comments
Michael Naughton

Michael Naughton

The University of St. Thomas in St. Paul tapped a man well versed in cultivating Catholic identity to direct its Center for Catholic Studies.

When Michael Naughton started at the university in 1991, his doctorate in theology and masters of business administration guided his work connecting the Church’s rich social tradition with modern business practices. In directing the Center for Catholic Studies, he’ll be at the helm integrating academia with faith among as many of the university’s disciplines as possible.

“Catholic Studies was never started to be its own discipline or enclave,” said Naughton, who had served as the center’s interim director since September and officially accepted the appointment in May. “It’s always attempted to be yeast and to connect to other fields and other areas.”

As the center’s director,  Naughton will oversee the center’s journal, “Logos”; the John A. Ryan Institute for Catholic Social Thought; the Habiger Institute for Catholic Leadership; and The Terrence J. Murphy Institute for Catholic Thought, Law and Public Policy, a collaboration with St. Thomas’ School of Law.

Role of Catholic Studies

Despite its broad reach, Naughton said Catholic Studies is still a project in its infancy but forms its students into leaders able to link their faith with their professions and families, which Naughton called “a unity of life.”

Naughton’s work with colleague Robert Kennedy as a fresh faculty member in 1993 paved the way for their involvement with founding director Don Briel’s vision to develop a project incorporating Catholic principles into other disciplines. Because St. Thomas is known for its successful entrepreneurship, Naughton said Briel’s vision was to create a place for the university to try new things and not get lost in specialization. Naughton succeeds Briel as the center’s second director in its 20-year history. Kennedy oversees the Catholic Studies undergraduate and graduate programs.

The oldest and largest program of its kind in the country, Catholic Studies has attempted to bring together theology, philosophy, history and literature, as well as business and law.

“It’s not an alternative theology department,” Naughton said. “It’s an interdisciplinary way of being.”

Naughton is quick to point out that Catholic Studies is not the only program at St. Thomas that fosters Catholic identity. He noted that there’s “vibrancy” in the university’s other departments.

“There’s a lot going on, but Catholic Studies is attempting to really recover the specific contributions of the Catholic tradition, particularly in a way that’s fostering this interdisciplinary engagement,” he said. “And it needs to be in cooperation and collaboration with all the other entities within the university, otherwise it can be simply a club, and that would be the death of Catholic Studies.”

The center’s vision, he explained, is one expression of the renewal St. John Paul II envisioned in “Ex Corde Ecclesiae,” his 1990 document describing the mission and identity of a Catholic university.

Expanding reach

With support from the university’s administration and donors, Naughton said he’d like to see Catholic Studies delve into areas that might not be an obvious fit, including enhancing its Latino leadership program and relationship with engineering.

Naughton highlighted the center’s role in the new evangelization — finding new and creative ways of engaging people with the question of “how can we creatively and faithfully help people to bring the Gospel to the world?”

Catholic Studies has worked with the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace and with the United Nations’ Holy See offices in Geneva and New York. It is co-sponsoring a human and natural ecology seminar the first week of June to prepare bishops for Pope Francis’ message from his encyclical on the environment.

Naughton also recently was appointed to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ domestic justice committee.

Let's Meet Them on the Hills

I'd like to share with you a metaphor for Web 2.0 and other e-Learning tools:

The story begins in my hometown of Windsor, Ontario, where late in the summer of 2007, city workers saw the need to remove the lone hill in Memorial Park. Those unfamiliar with the geography of southern Ontario, might be interested to know that the extreme southern leg of the province is FLAT. Thanks to the same glaciation that fed the great lakes thousands of years ago, the land is flat, but fertile.

So flat is the area, that the city council had more calls in sadness and frustration at the loss of the hill, than had been experienced by elected officials in recent memory... Which is why, in the fall of 2007, the hill was rebuilt!

To me, the interesting thing about this hill, is that it drew people to the area. It is no coincidence that this photo taken shortly after the hill was rebuilt, has been christened with a picnic table (no doubt by energetic teens in the neighbourhood).

FACT #1: E-learning tools, Social Networking sites and Web 2.0 products draw people to use the World Wide Web. Whether out of curiousity, or as a meeting place, these 'virtual hills' serve important purposes, and as soon as they are built, people find them, and begin using them! It's a fact that the first reaction of 'supervisors' to new technologies is to block access; but eventually, (too often after a number of years!) the value of the tool seems to win out.

Hills seem to draw attention and people no matter how large or small. in August of 2007, the pile of dirt pictured below was added to the park across the street from my home. Within hours, young people from the neighbourhood had built a motocross challenge area. Taking the picnic table and spare planks from garages nearby, the park had a new, 'most popular spot'. Even though this park boasts a soccer field, a baseball diamond, a soccer pitch, a child's playground and tennis courts, the final weeks of summer saw young people gravitate to the small pile of dirt in far greater numbers than any of the other attractions.

FACT #2: No matter how insignificant technological learning tools appear to adult educators, young people will enthusiastically join in using these tools... Often to the point of ignoring all types of traditional learning resources.

Now that winter has come to Canada in the form of great amounts of snow, the community toboggan hill has become the recreation centre for the community. Now that the patches of dirt can no longer accommodate bicycles, the 'X-games' fans decided that hills could benefit from the addition of some creative accents.

Fact #3: The use of the Read/Write Web can be hazardous! One should not dive into using evolving e-learning tools until he/she has taken the time to use the tools... and perhaps the more basic tools that might lead one to consider newer tools. Beyond the risks teachers need to take in trying new 'tricks', these new Web tools pose perils of which we need to be aware. These hazards are often the ones that grab the most headlines, even though the rich learning opportunities afforded by these tools are worthy of their own attention.

Hills and e-Hills were both meant to be climbed. When new hills or e-hills pop up on the horizon, they will draw the attention of young people in particular. Educators need to be prepared to meet the students who attempt to scale these hills. Now that I think of it, maybe it was a teacher who chose to put that picnic table on top of the hill in Memorial Park...

Online reputation key to small business success

The success of small companies can be strongly affected by online user reviews, a Harvard Business School research report has found.

The study showed an improvement of one-star to a company’s rating on business feedback sites can lead to a 9% increase in sales. The report also claimed 80% of online shoppers will base their decision on whether or not to purchase items on customer reviews.

Constant monitoring of online reviews has become necessary for most online retailers, particularly with the rise of social media channels that allow instant feedback.

Mentors Program

Charter Schools – In 1988 Ray Budd conceived the notion of Charter Schools. Theses unique school systems provided an alternative to public schools systems.

The charter school is designed to operate as legal and financially autonomous schools. They have unique characteristics.

These include:

They operate without tuition
They have no religious or philosophical affiliation
They maintains a highly selective student admissions process and ongoing student success determines their ongoing participation
They employ a faculty that have both specialized skills and that maintains high moral and educational operating standards
And they are owned by a single entity that provides leadership, polices, procedures, ongoing training, and development

Program Overview:

Over the past 15 years the Council of Tribes has been developing the nationwide Mentors program into a charter school network.

Today, the Mentors programs are not a local community organization but rather a school system that serves the entire community.

Each Mentor programs operate without tuition. The programs are free.

However there are associated costs for meeting room rentals, snacks and food. All are expected to contribute toward this cost. There is an initial $25.00 non-refundable registration fee. Registration fee is payable at the first Orientation meeting and is used to cover miscellaneous expenses. No one in the Council of Tribes receives a salary or paycheck.

The Mentors programs have no philosophical affiliations. Everyone is welcome regardless of group or club affiliation.

We have very strict code of conduct polices and The Council of Tribes’ Mentors Program prohibits any form of discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, age, disability, gender identification, or any other characteristic or status protected by law.

Each Mentors program is owned by the Council of Tribes and run by local Program Administrators.

The Council of Tribes provide leadership, polices, procedures, ongoing training, and new classes and program development to the Program Administrators. Together we provide a non-political learning environment where apprentices can focus on acquiring skills and social knowledge of the overall lifestyle.

Apprentice Selection:

The Mentor program maintains a highly selective student admissions process and ongoing student success determines their ongoing participation.

A Balance of Inclusivity and Restrictive Membership

The Mentors Program is designed for those who are serious about their personal growth and are willing to dedicate a substantial amount of time to their personal development.

For us, inclusiveness means creating an educational environment where people with a sincere desire to learn can do so without distraction.

However we also believe in the concept of restrictive membership.

There are people who will not be eligible for membership in the Mentor Program.

Sex Offenders: – Individuals who have been convicted and are listed as Sex Offenders are subject to a review of their situation. Convictions of rape, molestation and pedophilia immediately disqualify you from membership in a Council of Tribes’ Mentors program.

Sex Workers: – The term “Sex Worker” is an umbrella term describing the overall sex industry.

The industry is divided into categories such as phone sex operator, Pro-Dominatrix, adult store owner, prostitutes etc.

Most sex workers qualify for enrollment in the Mentors Program.

However those involved in the physical act of sex for money such as prostitution or Pro- Dominatrix work that include sexual services are ineligible for enrollment.

Divisive Individuals: – Communities often have individuals whose patterns of behavior will disqualify them from the program. Evidence of repeat difficulties with divisiveness, gossip and rumormongering and creating division through intentional manipulations or drama may disqualify an individual from enrollment.

Drugs: – The use of non-prescription drugs are not allowed at any Mentor Program events or training sessions.

Mentor Selection:

Each Mentors program seeks out the most qualified individuals in the community to be Mentors. These Mentors have both specialized skills and maintains high moral and educational operating standards.

We actively solicit new Mentors but they have to pass through an initial vetting process as well. We do ask for and check references. Their community reputation means something to us. Individuals may self-nominate themselves as a mentor and we encourgae you to do so.

We invite you to join the Mentors core. For more information contact Master David Walker.
