This eight minute song is a beautiful combination of arranged harmonies, rhythms and bass lines and thus helps to slow the heart rate, reduce blood pressure and lower levels of the stress. The song features guitar, piano and electronic samples of natural soundscapes.

WEB Notes: There are only 320 million men, woman and children in the United States. Think about what than means folks. If every soul was working we would have a 30% plus unemployment rate, obviously we have retired folks, but children do not work either. The numbers we receive from the government are nothing but lies.  

(ZeroHedge) – Curious why despite the huge miss in payrolls the unemployment rate tumbled from 7.0% to 6.7%? The reason is because in December the civilian labor force did what it usually does in the New Normal: it dropped from 155.3 million to 154.9 million, which means the labor participation rate just dropped to a fresh 35 year low, hitting levels not seen since 1978, at 62.8% down from 63.0%.   Continue reading “People Not In Labor Force Soar To Record 91.8 Million; Participation Rate Plunges To 1978 Levels”

(Paul Craig Roberts) – Have you seen the economic recovery? I haven’t either. But it is bound to be around here somewhere, because the National Bureau of Economic Research spotted it in June 2009, four and one-half years ago.

It is a shy and reclusive recovery, like the “New Economy” and all those promised new economy jobs. I haven’t seen them either, but we know they are here, somewhere, because the economists said so.   Continue reading “The Case of the Missing Recovery”

Please look at this case. Everything on the case I have posted online so you can view the Sheriff’s reports and evidence. You will see this falls under the color of law.

We have planting of evidence, excessive force, police brutality, filing of false reports and changing reports to fit their lies.   Continue reading “Help Me to Clean Up Riverside County, California”

A controversy has erupted in Texas after a judge ordered children removed from the home of their Christian homeschooling parents – over the homeschooling itself – even though the Texas Home School Coalition notes the state doesn’t allow that.

A 2005 memo from the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services notes that,”Whether parents choose to homeschool their children or send their child to another private or public school is not relevant to the CPS investigation. When CPS staff investigates a family for abuse/neglect, the investigation must focus on the occurrence, or risk, of abuse/neglect and not on the child’s educational setting,” according to the Texas Home School Coalition.   Continue reading “Texas Family Battles Judge Over Homeschooling”
