Today; Starbucks ‘brewing’ a new strategy. Why? Because they have finally figured out that the $100.00 a cup coffee boat is stinking and it’s sinking. In early March they are starting a new marketing strategy, they will now be selling instant coffee for under a $1.00.
Now this is a company that has consistently racked us the consumer over the beans with high prices for way too long. CEO Howard, you rode us like a mule plowing the crop for the last time. With your high priced fancy named cups of JOE.
Then McDonald’s slipped in while you were golfing at the Country Club on our hard earned dollars... and socked it to you...with their own fancy coffee line for a lot less.
I’m not a McDonald’s fan, but I’ve always liked their low cost good coffee.
Why am I talking about Starbucks? Because their over priced product is out reach for someone in debt.
The problem with having eyes is that you can see all of the commercials flashing before you telling you buy, buy, buy.
Here are my suggestions, this is primarily going out to someone that wrote me this morning with the subject marked urgent.
Dear Urgent,
I felt the panic in your letter, and I thank you for trusting me with your personal information. But after reviewing your letter I thought about all of the people that could be helped by reading my story. So my reply is made public to reach out to everyone that can and will possibly benefit from my failure.
My personal story started 30 years ago with me in college and living off of my one and only credit card. My parents had given me the card for emergencies only, while out of state.
I was born and raised in Denver, Co.
Anyway, I was young and I didn't know how to manage money, like most kids.
That is why students can get sucked into the credit card debt across the globe.
I don’t really remember how I got behind in my living expenses’ but I was using the card for everything gas, clothes, food, books, rent...
Until one day my mom called me and said that the card was over the limit… to my surprise... I didn’t even know it had a limit. :)
She told me she had closed the account and she ordered me to cut up the card immediately.
And she said "if you can't afford to live out of state, pack your car and bring your a** home."
I needed to figure out what I was going to do. Fast. I really enjoyed living far away from my parent’s strict rules and regulations, and I wanted to prove to myself that I could make it on my own.
So I finished school living on smoothies, cereal, bread and water, literally!
I had a job as a waitress, making just enough to pay my bills, with very little left over.
I was living in a one room compartment; I wouldn’t call it an apartment because you could sit on the bed and cook dinner on the hot plate. Nope it didn't come with a kitchen.
But because I was determined to make it, I stuck it out.
I started working my new job as a surgical tech, with hours from 3:00 am to 12:00 pm.
Now, I was looking for a new job. I just couldn't keep getting up at 1:30am to go to work.
I would read my neighbors’ paper every morning then put it back in front of their door.
Finally a breakthrough, there were lots of jobs for Flight Attendants. My though was what an awful job… but the pay wasn’t bad and I could see the world. I love adventure. So I applied...
And the rest is history. I have been with the same company for 29 years and I love my job. I have been a Purser for the last 6 years. This means my primary destination is out of the USA. When I leave for work, I'm going to Aisa or Europe.
however that doesn’t mean it can’t come crashing down any day.
I am a realist. Nothing is a sure thing except death and taxes.
I believe in continued education in something you enjoy.
If you can’t afford to go to college turn a hobby into a business.
Be creative. But here is how you can start on the road to clearing up debt one bill at a time. But you must make some important changes, right away.
1)Cut up all credit cards, use a debit card.
2)Remember that we only wear 20% of the clothes in our closet, no new clothes.
3)All extravagant spending has to stop; spa or club memberships must be cancelled.
4)Dining takes place in the home with your family, no restaurants.
5)This is a good time to diet also, no high priced packaged foods; vegetables are about the cheapest thing in the supermarket.
6)No high priced sodas, liquor beer or wine, yep water with some lemon, tea or coffee. A big can of Folgers is about $8.00 and that’s about 30-40 cups of coffee.
7)I don’t have a home phone, I use Skype on the computer and my cell and that’s it. Skype.com Skype to Skype is free on the pc.
8)For exercise take your camera out to the local park and walk the park looking for things to photograph, the more you shoot the better you’ll get.
9)My photography teacher in High School would give us an assignment every Friday, He would write on the board 10 different place that we had to take a photo. i.e. like the grocery store, the laundry mat, church, backyard, medicine cabinet, basement or attic… you get it. Well I challenge you to do that. Create your own list of 10 locations.
10)Remember that we don’t gain weight overnight, we can’t build a house in one day and you can only get out of debt one bill at a time. It might even take you several years to dig yourself out… but you can do it. Just don’t give up. The freedom you gain will far outweigh the pain and suffering you may endure while you’re getting your life back together. I will be praying for your success and strength to go the distance. If it’s any consolation to you... it took me about 6 years to payoff all of my debts. And now I can sleep at night.
The lesson I learn as a young woman in my late teens was the best thing that ever happened to me. And yes I did have to pay off the max out credit card. My parents believed in tough love then and now.
And I believe if you make the mess... take responsibility and clean it up!!!
You are not alone in this... look at the big 3 auto companies and many other companies that are guilty of over spending. We all need to learn how to restructure our lives periodically. Never get comfortable or complacant... because your life can change over night. Peace, Rudi

Following her huge retrospective exhibition at Tate Modern last year Yayoi Kusama now finds herself with a starring role in a Louis Vuitton window display on New Bond Street, London.
If you visit our SPRING OF MODERNISM show this month, two things will become abundantly clear about the 20th century artists in the exhibition. Firstly, they’re all linked, in one way or another, to the 1913 Armory Show in New York City. Secondly, they are all tied to each other... matthewsgalleryblog.com/2015/03/14/spring-of-modernism-th...

I, just in the last two years or so, was introduced to watercolor pencils. I had never heard of them before. I had a lot of fun trying them out. I think I am a better photographer than painter or sketcher, but this was the 9th one in the whole world that I ever did. I got my inspiration from a pretty picture on a notecard, but the flowery bush on left, style and position of the gate, and some of the people, and the front of the cable car, and the neon pink car and the red and blue builings on the right are all figments of my own imagination. I feel I can write this up a bit as part of "My Story" and also of "My Life As" because this pictures my first memories of life. I was about 2 and half years when we moved to San Francisco, maybe 3, and I don't remember on a conscious level, any of my life before that. I loved the Cable Cars, and would ride them by myself when my parents left to go to work. One time I took one up to the Fairmont Hotel, and ordered a chocolate milkshake and a tunafish sandwich. I was about 4 or 5. The restaurant at the Fairmont called my parents at work and said what I was doing. Supposedly my mother was horrified. Horrified that she and my Dad were neglecting their children, or horrified that she got caught...I don't know. My Dad came and picked me up, but first had lunch with me. I'll tell you what, that was the best tunafish sandwich I have ever had before or since. Every day when they went to work, my parents would say, "Now, you kids don't leave the property today." We would always nod agreement, and as soon as they left and we had a bowl or two of cold cereal with a ton of sugar on it, we left to explore San Francisco. My brothers were supposed to watch out for me, but they didn't very often. If we went to the Haight Ashbury District to the Haight Theatre, we would stay together until we got in the theatre, and then my brothers would say something like, Ewwww, you're a girl, or you are a creep, or something mean-spirited, and tell me to go sit on the other side of the theatre. This being 4, 5 and 6 and 7 years old, and running around all over the place was pretty dangerous, but such was my life. I loved knowing my way around, seeing new sights, and when I was a little girl, they didn't have the Transamerica Pyramid Tower, but I knew Twin Peaks, and Lombard Street (the crookedest street in the world), and Fisherman's Wharf, and Chinatown, and the Zoo, and one of my favorites of all, Golden Gate Park. I would see the dinosaur skeleton, and the DeYoung Museum, and the Palace of Fine Arts, and the Legion of Honor, the Playland at the Beach Funhouse, the Aquarium, the Natural History one (I forget its exact name). There was one on Science too. Near all of this, and I think actually in Golden Gate Park was Japanese Tea Garden. I loved that place. I thought Fortune Cookies and little bridges and pathways and beautiful gardens were the coolest thing since ice cream. Later in life I got to stay of the 28th floor (I think it was) of the Transamerica Building, and I have crossed the San Francisco Bay Bridge, and the Golden Gate Bridge so many times, but that was with my folks in a car, not walking or bus riding or cable car hopping. So maybe you begin to see how I developed a taste for sightseeing, knowing intimately the area I live in, and exploring, and for looking for ways with a camera or a watercolor pencil or tissue paper and foil, whatever, to express the joy in my surroundings.

For the Old Women, Wisdom and Laughter group, I'm 74 now, a woman, and did this artwork and then photographed it for Flickr when I was about 58 years old, and then having a lot of wisdom about my adventures as a very young little girl in San Francisco, California. If you wanted more of a picture/portrait of my actual self, than some artwork and writings, just let me know and I'll remove it from your group. Thanks.

After being brought on by TIME Magazine founder Henry Luce to cover industry and business for Fortune in 1929, a position that gave her a front-row seat to the aftermath of the stock-market crash, she was hired as LIFE magazine’s first female staff photographer.
She is believed to have been the only photographer in Moscow in 1941 during the World War II German raids of the Kremlin, which allowed her to take Soviet Leader Josef Stalin’s portrait. In Europe, she shadowed the Air Force, photographed Nazi atrocities and even survived a torpedo attack en route to cover the North African Campaign. After the war, she documented the final years of Mahatma Gandhi‘s life, producing the iconic image of the proponent of nonviolent protests with his spinning wheel. In the 1950s, as she started to develop Parkinson’s Disease, she continued to photograph the Korean War, and wrote her autobiography Portrait of Myself until she officially retired from LIFE in 1969.
A mural honoring female artists from the early to late 20th century specifically: Tina Modotti (garage door-left side-left figure); Frida Kahlo (garage door-left side-right figure); Kathe Kollwitz (garage door-right side-left figure), and; Elizabeth Catlett (garage door-right side-right figure). Painted by Mary Nash in 2001 and one of the finest murals ever to be displayed in Balmy Alley.
Tina Modotti (1896-1942) was an Italian photographer, model, silent film actress, and leftist who once playfully described her profession as men; Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) was a Mexican painter, who has achieved great international popularity. She painted using vibrant colors in a style that was influenced by indigenous cultures of Mexico as well as European influences that include Realism, Symbolism, and Surrealism. Many of her works are self-portraits that symbolically express her own pain. Kahlo was married to and influenced by the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera and shared his Communist views. Käthe Schmidt Kollwitz (1867-1945) was a German painter, printmaker, and sculptor whose work offered an eloquent and often searing account of the human condition in the first half of the 20th century. Her empathy for the less fortunate, expressed most famously through the graphic means of drawing, etching, lithography, and woodcut, embraced the victims of poverty, hunger, and war. Elizabeth Catlett Mora (1915- ) is an African American sculptress and printmaker. Catlett is best known for the black, expressionistic sculptures and prints she produced during the 1960s and 1970s, which are seen as politically charged.
Photographed at 'Balmy Alley', in San Francisco's Mission District, on November 12, 2007
This portrait of a youthful Frida was taken by her father, Guillermo Kahlo, in Mexico, in 1926. This image was taken at the Harn Museum of Art in Gainesville, Florida when Mirror, Mirror ... Portraits of Frida Kahlo was on exhibition.

Week 11
I’ve only very recently discovered that perfect moment of quietude that in my head can perfectly be translated into tranquility. For me tranquility is a myriad of things, from emotions, to places, to moments of the day.
Fun enough i was never a morning person but mostly a night owl. However it’s in the late hours of the night or the first early hours of the morning that i find my tranquility. It’s the looking through the window to the break of dawn, the start of a new day, barefoot, holding a hot cup of coffee while the whole house is still quiet, while everyone is still sleeping.
This does make me sound like i have a house full of kids, which is far from reality as i still live in the comfort of my parents’ house but i find those quiet moments that i have just for myself to be a great way to represent tranquility.
Being myself, straight out of bed - or not - with messy hair, no make-up, nothing to do and just having time for myself, physically, mentally and emotionally, seems like the picture perfect way to represent this week’s theme.
