(from OHO's Jay Graboski via Facebook 11/5/15)
". . . Today, 11/06/15: Off to Bill Pratt's Woodlawn production studio (The Bratt) to collate the score of tunes intended to grace our forthcoming compilation of tunes about Maryland (& related topics) by local musicians/bands (The MD/CD). These will be then handed over to engineer/producer/author Tyree Ford for mastering. When I get this finished master back, then begins the arduous task of (for me) securing licenses authorizing the use of 5 of the 6 cover songs ("Baltimore," "Barefoot in Baltimore," "Raining in Baltimore," "The Streets of Baltimore" & "The Lady Came From Baltimore") as well as assembling the credits; then (for David Pugh) creating an attractive graphic package. Is that "Ode to Baltimore" somewhere in this compendium? Time will be the wiser. . "

(from Bernie Sanders)
". . . About two decades ago, long before I ever imagined I would campaign for the presidency, I wrote a book titled Outsider in the House about how we used the authority extended from my electoral victories to make changes for the better in the lives of people who don’t have many allies in positions of power. My decision to run for president was inspired by the events outlined in that book, and if you really want to understand what this campaign is about and how we will leverage our political revolution to create real change after I’m elected, then you should read it. Because I think it’s important, I want to try something pretty wild here: For a very limited time, make a contribution to our campaign — of any amount — and we’ll send you a recently released updated version of my book, now titled Outsider in the White House. . .

". . . Starting in December, the likeness of former Vice President Dick Cheney will grace the U.S. Capitol, in accordance with a Senate tradition honoring former vice president. The Huffington Post was tipped off by a Senate resolution "authorizing the use of Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center for the unveiling of the marble bust of Vice President Richard Cheney on December 3, 2015." The resolution, not yet officially introduced, was confirmed by the office of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Wednesday. Cheney, vice president during George W. Bush's two terms, left office in 2009 with a 13 percent approval rating. As part of the vice presidency, Cheney served as president of the Senate, and it's traditional for the Senate to honor former vice presidents with busts of them in the Capitol. In 1898, the Senate passed a resolution establishing the practice.
Marble busts of those who have been Vice Presidents of the United States shall be placed in the Senate wing of the Capitol from time to time, [and] that the Architect of the Capitol is authorized, subject to the advice and approval of the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, to carry into execution the object of this resolution. . ."

". . . A former judge for the International Court of Justice and renowned expert on human rights law told a reporter this week that former vice president Dick Cheney should be prosecuted for war crimes and torture. "I voted for Obama but I think he made a great mistake when he decided not to instigate legal proceedings against some of these people." The former judge added that, despite the inaction so far, he believes eventual charges are inevitable: "I think—yes—that it will happen." . . ."

". . . Richard Clarke, the man to whom nobody in the administration of C-Plus Augustus listened because what did he know, anyway?, had a chat with Amy Goodman in which he minced no words regarding his former employers. "I think things that they authorized probably fall within the area of war crimes. Whether that would be productive or not, I think, is a discussion we could all have. But we have established procedures now with the International Criminal Court in The Hague, where people who take actions as serving presidents or prime ministers of countries have been indicted and have been tried. . ."
(from http://americanfreepress.net/cheneys-long-list-of-crimes/)
". . . In the pantheon of warmongers and political criminals, a special place has been reserved for Dick Cheney. In his recently released memoirs, Cheney sounds proud of his crimes, but he knows if he were to step off a plane in Europe or in many other parts of the world, like Henry Kissinger, he would be placed in irons and handed over to the International Criminal Court in The Hague. But without fear of prosecution, Cheney persists in lying about the reasons he took America into two wars and how he cherry-picked information to forge fictitious links between Iraq’s former leader Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda, alleging they both plotted together the 9-11 attacks. He even has the audacity to blame his lies about Saddam having weapons of mass destruction on others while still justifying an Iraq war that cost over a trillion dollars, thousands of American lives, and an untold number of dead Iraqi civilians. . ."

1. Embrace Self-Awareness
If you don't see the obstacle or believe it's a hindrance, you'll never reach your goals, blaming everything and everyone but the person responsible. This is particularly obstructive to resolving Habitual Obstacles.
2. Use Time to Your Advantage
This is most important with External Obstacles. You must learn to manage your impatience and be ready when the smoke clears. The harder the obstacle, the more time it will take to overcome. Set a preliminary schedule with clear milestones so you can track forward or backward progress. This way you'll see the cumulative impact of miniscule change.
3. Commit to Focused Discipline
It's easy to get distracted with the present. Business people are just that--busy! There is always a fire to put out or a new critical opportunity to distract you. True discipline is about making yourself emotionally commit time and effort to your benefit regardless of external factors.
4. Engage Your Own Creativity
I like to create rhythm in my life so I can freely engage the creative part of my brain for problem solving. There's no better place to apply expansive thinking than on issues holding you back.

(from http://www.politico.com/story/2015/10/hillary-clinton-sexism-bernie-sanders-215375-with
MY insertions added) ". . . The once respectful Democratic primary has devolved into a slugfest about gender. . . " -artificially and NOT without intention on the part of the purported 'victim'- ". . . with Hillary Clinton surrogates expressing outrage over how Bernie Sanders is conducting his campaign — even calling for him to fire his staff over alleged sexist remarks. . . " -the operative word here being 'alleged'- ". . . And it’s sent a signal flare to Republicans, who have been reminded of the pitfalls of using the wrong language when taking on Clinton — and also of her campaign’s ability to turn it to her advantage. . ." -is this really what we want to see in our elections? ". . . (Clinton's people) said a recent Bloomberg Politics story that quoted Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver as joking that “we’re willing to consider her for vice president ... we’ll even interview her . . .How arrogant and sexist can you be? . . .” -Arrogant? Maybe. I must have missed the sexist part. Did YOU hear the sexist part????- ". . . (this 'development' began) in the first Democratic debate earlier this month, when the Vermont senator said “all the shouting in the world” won’t fix the country’s systemic problem with gun violence — a comment Clinton and her allies have since interpreted as an implicitly sexist filleting of the former secretary of state. . ." -I must have missed the sexist part. Did YOU hear the sexist part????- ". . . It also signals a widening gender gap between the candidates that could work in Clinton’s favor the more she looks like a strong woman under attack by a male opponent. . . " -A woman, granted. I think more disingenuous is more appropriate than STRONG.-I must have missed the sexist part.
