Atlanta Police stalk Critical Mass
iReporter shelbinator , or Shelby Highsmith uploaded a video to iReport.com a few weeks back that really caught fire on the Web. His video, entitled "Atlanta Police stalk Critical Mass" covered Atlanta's monthly Critical Mass bike ride, when Atlanta bicyclists essentially take over the road in order to raise drivers' awareness of bicyclists. More than 120,000 people viewed Highsmith's video on iReport.com and the Atlanta paper even sent readers to the iReport.com video for more info. In response to the controversy raised by the critical mass ride and the publicity afforded them by Highsmith's iReport, Atlanta bicyclists have decided to host a "Courteous Mass," and plan to uphold traffic Regulations in a ride planned for July 11. We can't wait to see how it turns out, via iReport of course!
There's power in unity.

Interestingly enough, Courteous Mass was in the works by early June, before the police changed their policy (or got one). This timing is serendipity. Video coming soon, but it was kinda dull.
Unable to upload again, gets stuck half way
Will someone please tell me what or where Richard Quest of CNN Internatonal is. He used to host the Business Traveller program every month, but I have not seen him now for 3 months and currently the program is hosted by Adrian Finigan and Andrew Stevens.
No one respects the rights of a bicyclist, or motorcyclist, more than myself, but Critical Mass in Seattle seriously needs some mentoring by Atlanta's organization. Hopefully their excellent role modeling will spread quickly.
Please see today's news about what happened in Seattle this weekend:

The female passenger terrorized in this story is pregnant.
I'm sorry to report that this reflects the norm for this particular organization's behaviors, having respectfully yielded to these rides myself twice only to get my car kicked both times - a grandmother with a little grandchild in the car. Hopefully they will have learned from this - too late for their victims.
Bailout will not repay taxpayers !

The bailout will not repay taxpayers! Nonperforming assets are defaulted loans on which the borrowers are in default for at least 90 days. Why will defaulted borrowers suddenly start paying their nonperforming loans when the Treasury buys them from Wall Street and banks? Treasury will have to foreclose homes, repo cars and boats and send credit card accounts to collections to recover just a fraction of the book value of the nonperforming loans. Holding defaulted loans long term will not make them perform. The bailout is a huge loss to tax payers!

Cada Día es un Diamante
Cuando revisamos nuestra vida, por lo regular la evaluamos en semanas, meses y años, sin embargo, la verdad, deberíamos enfocarnos en los días.
Los Kabbalistas nos enseñan que a una persona se le dan una cantidad exacta de días para vivir. Dentro de cada día hay una chispa de Luz que debemos perfeccionar. La totalidad de todo el trabajo que se hace en un determinado día, desde restringir el enojo hasta compartir, se suma a la perfección de la chispa de Luz de ese día.
