... even hear it. It's like the news banner that runs across the bottom of the TV screen: you know it's there and you subconsciously absorb the information but you don't give it much thought. In other words, it's always in the background, like a running commentary. Sadly, this running commentary isn't usually something positive and self-affirming like, "You're a beautiful, loving person. You deserve love. You are worthy, kind and smart." On the contrary, the most common running commentaries are rooted in fear-based lies that develop in early childhood as a way to protect ... say it's like having a taskmaster sitting on one of their shoulders, constantly criticizing, never satisfied. But that's only how they describe it once they become aware of its existence! Again, the first, and, in some ways, most challenging, step in healing is developing a witness to the commentary. This process of noticing, developing a witness, and de-fusing from the beliefs can take months, if not longer. It's often a struggle to remember to pay attention to what's occurring in the silent and invisible inner world of psyche, especially when life keeps most people moving too ...

... his ideas. His popularity is ever growing. Anything written by and about this artist seems to spawn debate. Banksy has also published several books through the years. The initial ones were self-published works. In it he reveals a little of himself but focuses much more on his paintings, social commentary and graffiti. The first of his books appeared in 2001.

... . The tape scandal added to earlier concerns about her political neutrality, raised after she fired "news analyst" Juan Williams for comments he made on Fox News. Regardless of NPR's bias, or lack thereof, independent news coverage requires independent broadcasters. I, for one, have no interest in getting my news, commentary or entertainment brought to me by my elected representatives in Congress or by whoever happens to occupy the White House. Requiring public producers and broadcasters to rely on individual contributions, sponsorships and product licensing would inevitably make them beholden to new interests. But it is a mistake to believe that ...

... IRS should be in writing, and you should seek clarification if a request is vague or unclear. Requested documents can include bank statements, canceled checks, closing statements, deposit slips, receipts, payroll tax filings, etc. It is in your best interest to provide everything requested and to organize it clearly. A commentary explaining certain items and calculations can also be helpful. Even if you have provided all the information requested, the agent might still want to visit your home or office, and you have the right to schedule a convenient time. You are not required to attend the meeting, and often, it ...

In cases such as these, the linkback or reposting strategy can be modified to include a bit of commentary explaining how one's views have changed, what new information is available and the reasons for the adjustment. This kind of honesty takes a lot of courage; shows great respect for readers and can often create a lively commentary thread. Speaking of commentary, this is also a great way to refresh older posts.

... , you will really benefit by developing a few basic filters. (Think of simply establishing some ground rules that limit the Voice, along the same lines as you might have "parental controls" for what you would allow your kids to watch on TV.) As a starter, I suggest you filter all commentary from the Voice for topic, timing and tone - the 3 T's. By topic I mean you should be clear on what you empower the Voice to comment on. Some topics, like what you have learned from a particular experience or encounter, may be very productive. Other topics like; how ... the least convenient, can turn into an incessant nag, virtual-parent, bully or worry wart.

The one that if its non-stop commentary, analysis and anxiety came from anyone outside your head, like a partner or employee, you would surely fire them in a blink of an eye. The one that if you don't get a better handle on, will never allow you to truly enjoy significant freedom, peace or happiness. We ...

... these unbecoming and mistaken conclusions so unwittingly foisted on traditional enthusiasts? Therein lies tradition's interpretative language problem. Not recognizing the inherent fallacy in human nature, as it relates to the uncertainty in spiritual recommendations, it behooves devotees to depend solely on their own mental prowess, regardless academic acumen or commentary consensus. Each mental capacity must attempt to extract reason from the source material and not from extraneous productions. The truth is there for the thinker; it behooves us then to be a thinker. Take either private or popular interpretation only under advisement. Consider intimation and recommendation for harmony in the ...

Many of you know I have my favorite gurus who help guide my thinking... just as (I'm hoping) you let me guide yours. One such team that I respect and follow are the folks at Grantham, Mayo, van Otterloo & Co. (GMO), a Boston-based global money manager. But before we get into GMO's investment outlook let's see why many money managers generally do not outperform the market. Efficient Markets? It is said that markets are efficient if, at every moment, prices reflect the true value of all known information. Market efficiency is an attractive idea but with so many market participants across the globe, one wonders if all known information can get magically bottled into a single true price. Many ...

Did you know that that the pain of losing money in your investments is twice as bad as the pleasure you get from making it? Studies show that we require at least a 2-to-1 ratio of gain to loss, and that the trauma of losing money is two times greater than our euphoria from winning an equal amount! Loss Aversion In the investment world, this slightly complex human reaction to losing versus winning is called Loss Aversion... not loss minimization - which is something else. Minimizing your losses is good. Basing your investment decisions on emotion and loss aversion is not good. I have been talking a lot about loss aversion these days because I've noticed that a lot of folks are still wary of ...

Radio station WEEI in Boston is great example of how a marketer should use instanteous conversation with friends to create a "pull" situation with their market. WEEI is a sports talk station in which the format is a combination commentary and talk. How do the program hosts know what to make commentary on? In times past, talk radio was traditionally a push situation. The host decided what was going to be talked about and you either listened or you turned them off. At WEEI, as the hosts do their show, they also have a texting technology ...

... . Blogs represent fresh, original, and relevant content that fills a much needed vacuum epitomized by the incorrigible and insatiable need for instant information demanded by the masses and feed by the major search engines. Blogs then matured into a medium for providing very industry specific and insightful relevant authority based commentary on a particular subject matter. This is when smart business owners and corporate marketing agencies began to place credence on the value of a Blog. The Blog was no longer simply a vessel to communicate the mundane and/or spectacular events of an individuals' daily life, it became a real ... 'log' resulting in the creation of the term WeBlog. Initially this novel concept served as a platform for individuals to enter the social environment of the Internet by serving as a personal diary.

In the recent past, the world's economy has seen crisis after severe crisis. Yet, investors and money managers are "bullish" and anticipate economic growth with only minor pull backs - a healthy sign for a bull market. Already in 2011, we have witnessed riots and revolts in the Middle East and North Africa, a war-like situation in Libya and devastating earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan. Through it all, world markets have largely held steady. So is all this too much of a strain for global markets, or can they absorb these shocks and continue higher? I wish I had a crystal ball... but, alas, I don't. I do, however, have the next best thing... numbers! Numbers are a market lover's best friend ...

Ever wonder why markets make sudden moves from one extreme to the other, or why markets may decline in the face of good news and rise on bad? Seems crazy, right? Well, many times stock market movements are based on more than new information such as earnings reports or corporate downgrades... markets are quite often moved by investor sentiment. Psychological factors affect not only the average investor, but also professional money managers who tend to be driven by greed, euphoria and fear!
