Update Home pics
3 weeks before it is finished.
They are preparing to pour concrete for the driveways.
This is a picture of the 1st floor (ceramic tile, put diagonally, with 4 inch granite in between them). I had to take this picture from our yard, because they have locked the door. This is a 2000 sq ft tiled surface. It took them 2 weeks and there are no groutlines yet.

Next time we touch 11700 on the DOW
we need the "plunge protection team", because that would mean a significant downturn to DOW 10700 - 10000.

Used Truck Trade-In Values Plunge, Deepening Auto-Sales Decline
Plunging prices for used pickups and sport-utility vehicles are deepening U.S. automakers' sales slide, with Ford Motor Co. the latest company to feel the pinch.
Gasoline near $4 a gallon helped send prices for used large pickups and SUVs tumbling at least 21 percent in May, Atlanta- based Manheim Consulting estimates. That cuts trade-in values, pushing light-truck sales down 16 percent in 2008, compared with less than 1 percent for cars.

World Famous negotiator Herb Cohen
An excerpt from a presentation by renowned negotiator Herb Cohen.
Considered the world's greatest deal-maker, Cohen has been a practicing negotiator for the past four decades, intimately involved in some of the world's headline dramas, from hostile corporate takeovers to hostage negotiations. Hilarious and insightful, Cohen teaches audiences powerful negotiation techniques to help in every business, career or relationship. Cohen's analyses, insights and humorous view of world events have appeared in many national and international publications, and he has been the subject of articles in TIME, People, The Economist, The New Yorker, Esquire, Newsweek, Rolling Stone and Fortune Small Business. Even Playboy called him the "world's best negotiator."

iMAX
One of the perks as a teacher (lol) is that you can go to iMAX for free. So we went to see 2 iMAX movies this weekend. 3D movies are an incredible experience. We saw "Dolphins and Whales 3D" and "Grand Canyon Adventure 3D: River at Risk".

So when will the Oil-Bubble burst?
This is quite simple, when other countries pressured by the US stop harrassing IRAN.
Isn't it ironic, that the one and only country to use the A-bomb and killing 400 000 - 500 000 innocent people (no they were not soldiers), is "frightened" that other countries would develop the same technology 60 years later?
The Japanese government may have deserved an A-bomb on their heads at the end of WWII because they were the last one standing of the Axis of Evil and because they treated POW so harshly. But those innocent people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki had nothing to do with the war. They were ... innocent. Trying to destroy the Japanese civilian population, sounds like Genocide to me.
Especially the SECOND bomb 3 days after the Hiroshima one, was of no use. There is no reason for killing another 250 000 people in Nagasaki, Japan was still in chaos from the first one and would have surrendered.
This sums it up:
"The role of the bombings in Japan's surrender, as well as the effects and justification of them, have been subject to much debate. In the U.S., the prevailing view is that the bombings ended the war months sooner than would otherwise have been the case, saving many lives that would have been lost on both sides if the planned invasion of Japan had taken place. In much of the rest of the world, the prevailing view is that the bombings were unnecessary, and that knowingly inflicting harm of this magnitude on civilians was inherently immoral."
