Since Sept. 17,2011, large groups of demonstrators have been protesting against what they perceive to be the overt shameless corporate American greed. They are fed up by the rapaciousness of Wall Street, inattention and ungratefulness of the large banks that received large sums of money under the TARP that bailed them out of economic, financial crises during the early days of the recession only to turn back and hit the same tax payers with bank fees and sorts of money schemes. What is worse is that the bank presidents and higher officials are rewarded for their work with large bonuses ranging in the millions of dollars.

What is Occupy Wall Street all about?

“#OCCUPYWALLSTREET is a people powered movement for democracy that began in America on September 17 with an encampment in the financial district of New York City
Inspired by the Egyptian Tahrir Square uprising and the Spanish acampadas, we vow to end the monied corruption of our democracy.”

Having spent more than 23 days on the pavement of Wall Street, the protesters are organizing themselves to finally deliver a message to the financial world.

Protesters appear to come from all economic groups, religious, ethnic backgrounds. They are organizing themselves in general assemblies. Unable to use a microphone or bullhorns, they form what is called "waves of human microphone" which repeats what the speaker says to the rest of the assembled crowd.

Thus far, the movement has a website, www.occupywallstreet.org. It is seeking donations from volunteers. The donations can be in foods to feed the people who have been sleeping on the streets. Early scuffles with the police have not deterred them. Neither have the changing environmental elements. Just like the protesters of Tahrir Square and the Spanish acampadas, they are willing to brave the elements and police to effect change in the financial life of this country. In other words, they want to stop the monied corruption to repeat their own words.

=================
Here is a sample of this poetry book:

This poem was written by the author of "...Soaring on Wings Like Eagles..," "Freedom Rides to sweet Magnolia..,"

A Dream Deferred
Debt is slavery!
Its yoke the 99% is ready to break once for all
People not Profits! Down with Corporate Greed!
Remember the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP)!
Listen to the voice of the people on the streets
Why have you refused to help us
It is your turn to step up to the plate
Bankers, pay back your debt to the tax payers
And to the millions of families who do not want to be foreclosed on
Homelessness is inhumane
Joblessness can lead to all kinds of vices and temptations
Let us reclaim our voice and ‘hood from Wall Street to Detroit,
From the favelas of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo to India
These hill-side shantytowns are no better than the ghettos
Of Detroit, Cleveland, and Chicago
The wilderness is reclaiming the land; inhabitants are fleeing the physical degradation
They are making their last stand against economic injustice
The 99% has had enough. Main Street is asking Wall Street to repay its debts
Who is out there to listen to their cry of agony and humiliation?
We are getting on the economic freedom rides
Help us get free from debt, foreclosure. Give hope to our young and educated children
Help us! Help! Help! We are drowning in the filth on the streets!
Won’t you come down from your highrise to witness the misery we are vegetating in?
We are cold and hungry. Do not let the human voice¸ the human microphone disappear

Schwazenegger Revealed to Maria Shriver He Fathered Child with Long-term Staffer: Maid Tell All

2011-05-17T08:42:00.000-07:00

Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger recently revealed that he had fathered a child out-of-wedlock with one of his maids. He has been married to Maria Shriver for 25 years. He recently confessed to her that indeed he had fathered a child with one of their staffers. Technically, the former Governor of California always had two women at home. In this sense, he took advantage of Maria Shriver who thought she was the only woman in his life. Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger cared only about his needs, his needs to have access to women, to become the top politician of the state and now to revive his shriveled movie career.

Great dress designed by the queen's designer: What Others are Saying About This Dress

2011-04-29T04:42:00.001-07:00

This gorgeous was designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, it has a lace applique bodice and skirt, and veil. The bride is wearing her hair down, with a tiara a loan from the royal jewelry.

Here is what others are saying about who was wearing what...

Ms Burton said creating the royal wedding dress had been the "experience of a lifetime".

Prince William is wearing the uniform of colonel of the Irish Guards, as well as his Royal Air Force wings.

The lace on the bride's dress details a rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock, and was hand-made by the Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court Palace.

The bridal train measures 2m 70cm, and along with the lace, all other fabrics used in the creation of the dress were sourced from and supplied by British companies.

Kate Middleton is the perfect Grace Kelly princess bride”

What are they saying about the dress?
The lace motifs were pinned, "framed up" and applied with stab stitching every 2mm to 3mm around each lace motif.

Workers washed their hands every 30 minutes to keep the lace and threads pristine, and the needles were renewed every three hours, to keep them sharp and clean.

The veil is held in place by a Cartier "halo" tiara, lent to Miss Middleton by the Queen.

The bride's earrings were a wedding day gift from her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton.

The earrings were the bride's "something new". For her "something blue", a blue ribbon was sewn into the interior of her dress, while her "something old" was the traditional Carrickmacross craftsmanship used to create the bridal gown.

Made by Cartier in 1936, the tiara was purchased by the Queen's father, the Duke of York (later King George VI) for his Duchess (later Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mother) three weeks before he succeeded his brother as King.

The designer said she enjoyed every moment of making the royal gown
The tiara was presented to Princess Elizabeth (now the Queen) by her mother on her 18th birthday.

The bride's bouquet is a shield-shaped wired bouquet of myrtle, lily-of-the-valley, sweet William and hyacinth. It was designed by Shane Connolly.

Diana favourite
Maid of Honour Philippa Middleton's dress was also designed and created by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen.

It is of a heavy, ivory satin-based crepe, with a cowl front and with the same button detail and lace trims as the bride's dress.

The four young bridesmaids' dresses were designed by childrenswear designer Nicki Macfarlane and hand-made by Ms Macfarlane and her daughter Charlotte Macfarlane at their homes in Wiltshire and Kent.

The mother-of-the bride Carole Middleton is wearing a sky blue silk dress with short pleated sleeves and pleated pockets by Catherine Walker - a favourite designer of Princess Diana.

Over that Mrs Middleton is wearing a sky-blue wool crepe coatdress. Her hat is by Berkshire-based Jane Corbett.

The groom's stepmother, the Duchess of Cornwall, is wearing a champagne silk dress with matching duck egg blue and champagne hand-embroidered coat, both by the designer Anna Valentine.

Sarah Burton - who made the billowing red and black poppy dress Michelle Obama wore for a state dinner and the wedding dress Sara Buys wore for her wedding to Tom Parker- Bowles - has long been the hotly-tipped favourite for the role of royal wedding dress designer.

She said she was incredibly honoured to be asked to design the historic dress, saying she had "enjoyed every moment of it."

The designer joined Alexander McQueen's studio in 1996 as an intern, working alongside him on his collections for 12 years before he took his own life in February 2010.

The designer was named creative director of the Alexander McQueen label the following May.

The mother-of-the-bride Carole Middleton wore blue
Guests at Westminster Abbey include David Cameron, in a morning suit, along with his wife, Samantha, who is not wearing a hat.

Mrs Cameron is wearing a £495 Burberry London teal knee-length dress, £75 Aldo shoes, and an orange shawl.

Victoria Beckham, who is attending with her husband, ex-England football captain David, is wearing a midnight blue Philip Treacy hat along with a dark blue dress which is one of her own designs.

Beckham, with a 1920s-style slicked-back hairstyle, is wearing a Ralph Lauren morning suit and carrying a top hat.

Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Princess Michael of Kent, Queen Anna-Marie of Greece and Princess Mathilde of Belgium are also wearing creations by Irish milliner Treacy.

The gold for Miss Middleton's ring was given to Prince William by the Queen shortly after the engagement was announced.

It had been made by Llandudno-based jeweller Wartski, Clarence House said.

The prince, who was made a colonel of the Irish Guards in February, is also wearing Royal Air Force wings, in a nod to his job as an RAF search-and-rescue helicopter pilot.

Outsourced, a Funny Show to NBC's Thursday Lineup: A Half-hour of Cheer, Laughter, and Introspection!

2010-09-24T08:16:00.000-07:00

My smartphone reminded me that the debut of the show was near. It is this Thursday. Thursday night at 9:30 pm. So I got onto Facebook, then texted and twittered some of my friends to remind them. I wanted to make sure I had something to talk to my coworker about his daughter's debut. The coundown is over!

"Outsourced," the comedy about a man from the Midwest who gets sent to run a call center in India, debuted as the newest part of NBC's popular Thursday night lineup. It got started with great fanfare and lots of expectations.

The half-hour show is definitely a satire about consumerism and prejudice. Yet, it does a good job of going crosscultural as it takes a look at what's going on in American and Indian cultures. For example, the idea of selling anything even excrements and vomit or making any products such as cheesehead and dancing breasts makes us take an introspective look at ourselves.

Obviously, you will hear about jokes about both cultures, good and/or bad ones. Indian food, Indian accents, Indian names, the crazy caste system, American dating and stupid consumerism etc. are part of the show. Even the American pop culture is fair game.

No it is not insensitive in regards to the Indian culture. Some critics are saying that it is an excuse to mock the Indian culture. I see the show as a new vehicle to get acquainted and exposed to the richness and beauty of the Indian culture.

It is a good transition between the Office and Donald Trump's show as it takes a light look at the economy.

One new show to watch from now on....

A great debut, Kody! Way to break into show business! We hope to see more of you in the next episodes!

Fans of the Twilight Saga Series Are Playing a New Love Triangle Game Found at LittlebitsofLoveArt.blogspot.com

2010-07-05T16:41:00.000-07:00

Fans of the Twilight Saga series are involved in a very serious game which they hope will be spread all over the nation and the world. Inspired by the series and their love of art that can help heal and inspire others, fans are looking for Bella and Jacob's love art notes in places that nobody would think about. Once a lucky finder is able to find one, he/she reports their findings to Little Bits of Love Art by sharing the impact of this love note finding on their own lives and on their friends. In turn, they may go ahead and strategically place it somewhere else so the journey of searching, finding, discovering and healing can have its own life story.

Needless to say that as a fan of the love triangle between Bella, Edward and Jacob, I was so happy to be the discoverer of a love note seen here

The message was clear to me and my friends. I read it and looked at the back of the card where I found the address of this blog, http://littlebitsofloveart.blogspot.com

From the Quileute Nation to San Francisco and Washington state, you too can be part of this inspiring art game devised by a group of artists whose desire is reach out and touch a soul.

Anybody can participate. If you are a fan of the Twilight Saga series, if you are as beautiful as Bella or as handsome as Edward or as muscled as Jacob, you can be part of the Little Bits of Love Art

Who Wore What at the 82nd Award Ceremony? The Sparkling of Silver, Gold and Red on the Red Carpet

By now, we all have our favorites among all the elegant gowns and dresses worn by the grandes dames of Hollywood. We saw them shining in the exciting fashion of the season designed by some of the best contemporary designers. Penelope Cruz and Sigourney Weaver stole our breath with their red but regal shades of red. Cameron Diaz, with bold red lips and Kate Winslet wore strapless gold gowns while Jennifer Lopez stood out in a great pale-pink dress. Cameron Diaz's dress was designed by Oscar de la Renta. Kate Winslet's gown is an elegant pewter and gray Yves Saint Laurent couture, held on top with a satin column skirt. She also had on a deco-inspired $2.5 million yellow-diamond necklace from Tiffany & Co.
