Frenzy of Friends

My new visiting friend, Adam, left yesterday, and I’m hanging out with Shug, the dog, on the last day of this house-sit—a good time to blog.


Unlike my usual quiet Moab winters, this one’s been chock full of projects and surprises like visits from intriguing people from near and distant lands.


Bad News and Good News



The bad news is our Moab City Council flip-flopped and voted against the Resolution declaring "corporations are not people" that I talked about in the last post.  It looks like we’re going work to put it on the ballot so the people rather than the council members can decide, which is better anyway.


The good news is that I have gotten visits from amazing people this whole past month.  My first visit was from Benjamin, from France, and his two friends Yasmin and Marisa, from Mexico, all traveling without money. 



Forward the (R)evolution Friends

Benjamin, Michael (an English chap I've never met), and Yazmin,
in Mexico before I met them in person.
Some of you might be familiar with the Forward the (R)evolution moneyless voyagers.  I've been in contact with them for the past three years.  They began as three Europeans (Benjamin from France, Raphael from Germany, and Nicola from Italy) who hitched, without money (except for border-crossing fees), by boat from Europe to the Canary Islands to Brazil (where Nicola returned to Europe), then overland to Columbia, by boat to Panama, overland to Mexico (where Raphael’s and Benjamin’s girlfriends, Nieves and Camille, joined them from Europe).   Raphael , Nieves, and Camille later returned to Europe from Mexico while, to my joy, Benjamin continued northward via California to Moab, joined by two friends from Mexico, Yazmin and Marisa. 

Benjamin, in his mid 20s, is the first human in the flesh I’ve ever met who is committed to living completely without money, having gone three years moneyless, so far.  I felt child-like joy meeting him, like I had reunited with a long-lost soul-mate.  And his friends, Yazmin from Puebla and Marisa from Chihuahua, impressed me to no end, having the courage to leave Mexico, using nearly no money, on an odyssey across the US.  All three were a pure pleasure to be with, like I had known them all my life.  I got to oil my rusty Spanish, too.     
Marisa (in Mexico?) before I met her

Marisa is making a documentary of this incredible journey.  I tried to embed the teaser video of her work thus far, but it's not working.  So you'll have to watch it at Forward the (R)evolution.



My friend Bruni (whom I house-sit for) gladly offered to host them at her house for a couple days, to freshen up, before they stayed with me in a big “guest” cave for several days.   We ate scavenged food, played music around the fire, played their home-made replica of the Settlers of Catan game, hiked, philosophized, and hung out with my Moab friends.

They continued east, planning to go to Boulder, Colorado, then to Taos and Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Austin, Texas.  Marisa planned to then head to New York and Benjamin and Yazmin back to Mexico.  Benjamin wants to hitch a boat back to Europe from there.

Meanwhile, Raphael and Nieves are back in Germany, gaining notoriety living virtually moneyless with their new baby (see Spanish article Viven Sin Dinero in lanacion.com).



Glen
While my three friends and I were in the big cave, a dude named Glen showed up, saying he decided to swing through the Moab area to see if he could find me.  I had been house-sitting most the winter, so this was magical synchronicity.  Glen writes an excellent blog, The Practical Primitivist, and had just finished a wilderness course in Montana and was on his way to another one near Phoenix.  I found his wisdom profound and I learned invaluable things from him.

Adam

After all those friends left Moab, another mellow and loveable dread-locked visitor, Adam, showed up from Virginia.  He was also heading to the wilderness school in Montana and decided to first come to Moab.  He stayed with me mostly at this latest house-sit.  But we took Shug, the dog I’m caring for, up to the little cave and stayed up there a couple nights, relishing the luxury of the canyon.  Last Saturday night, Adam and I went to the Trashion Show at Frankie D’s and danced to Techno with lots of Moab friends and had the time of our lives.  I said my sad goodbyes to Adam yesterday morning as he hitched out of Moab.

I also drink teas from Pinion, wild grasses,
and Mormon Tea as a daily staple.

Film-makers



While Adam had been here, a film team from MAHA Productions, based in Europe, showed up and filmed me and my friends Sallie and Helena for a documentary called Backroads USA, about off-the-beaten-path characters across the USA.  I usually don’t like that sort of thing, but they were so personable and wonderful, like old friends, that I loved working with them.  They took us to dinner afterward, along with another chap they had filmed, named Lou, and fun was had by all.



Bracing myself for what’s next 
The coming weeks call for an even stranger and new life for me, and I pray I can walk it with grace, with equanimity.  Mark Sundeen is taking me with him on part of the book signing for The Man Who Quit Money.  Funny, I didn't plan or decide for any of this book stuff to happen.  But that's the nature of this lifestyle, letting unfold what may, and things more magical happen than I could ever plan, much less conceive.



Here’s part of the itinerary, in case anybody out there wants to come:

Online Roulette Software

     Today I am going to discuss about some roulette software that you can find for free online.

     Of course these programs are protected by copyright laws (not enough I would say), so I can not offer them to you, because that would get me into trouble. You can get them on torrent or bitcomet, or whatever you use for other downloads.

     The first one and the best one, in my opinion is roulette sniper, second edition.
     This software does a simple task for a machine, but very difficult if it ws for us to do it: it counts how many times a number that is red, black, even, high, low, etc.has came up since you began to record the spins. It records all that concerns that number. You can customize it to announce you when a red number hasn't come for 10 times in a row, for example. Or when the first dozen has not come for 17 spins. You get the idea. It is very useful and only fails if you get greedy and you want to win all the money in the casino.
Read the instructions and play for no more than, let's say, 30 minutes.

      The second best, in my opinion is roulette pro 1.6. This one was really hard for me to find. If you need help in finding it comment here and I will help you.

     Roulette pro 1.6 does not use counting methods to predict the next spins, like roulette sniper. It is based on analyzing some patterns that occur when spins are generated. You will have to read the instructions carefully on this one, because it is a bit hard to use. It took me a while to figure out how to use it.
Also you will need a good background in which patterns can be found, like 2000 spins the minimum. You can select the length and depth of the string of numbers you want to analyse, and you need some practice in fun mode, before you try it on real money mode.

     Another roulette prediction software would be roulette killer. You can find it very easy if you google for it.
     This is another counting software, like roulette sniper, but uses far fewer numbers for the prediction.
It brings more suggestions and a different strategy to bet, a more aggressive one, that is why you have to take care and do not play it if you have played that day with another software. Also, don't play for like more than 10 minutes using this software. Wait for the percentages to rise and only then bet. Do not bet every single time, because it can be wrong and you will lose all your money in no time.

     Good luck, and don't forget about responsible betting!
     Also comment below if you know any other roulette software that you think could help others! Cheers!

Las Vegas Event Locations


Looking to provide a new solution for an ever present problem, Las Vegas Event Locations has opened a new website to showcase the best private home solutions available for events in Las Vegas. By combining the best available homes in one easy location, and by adding the expertise and experience of Las Vegas concierge and event planning services, this is a website that really dials into the need rather than how to spend a lot of money.

Las Vegas is a place where the choices for events are as varied as the people who come here. Just a quick glance at the landscape reveals one inescapable fact, most of the advertised solutions are both expensive and confining. In fact many of the strip casinos almost act like the resent your business. Their solutions are generic and utilitarian and many of their rules are dictatorial.

Las Vegas Event Locations helps people avoid these problems by using solutions that are away from the Strip, and yet close enough to be convenient. Excellent solutions that not only offer tremendous costs savings and the flexibility of using your vendors and entertainment, but also provide character and uniqueness as well. Check their new website before your Las Vegas event and create something truly unique and memorable.

Free Hamza Kashgari

Iran Solidarity supports the campaign to free Saudi columnist Hamza Kashgari who fears for his life.
Below is a petition text which you can sign here
You can join the FB group Free Hamza Kashgari here


On 12 February, Malaysian police deported 23 year old Saudi columnist Hamza Kashgari, who fled Saudi Arabia after making comments on Twitter claimed by some to be "insulting" to the prophet Muhammad. There have been widespread calls from Islamists for his execution; in Saudi Arabia, blasphemy is punishable by death.

Theocratic regimes like Saudi Arabia will not tolerate the most basic freedom of thought and expression. We defend the right of everyone in the world to freely express their views, including to criticise religion. We condemn the Malaysian government for detaining Kashgari who had fled the country and handing him over to the Saudi authorities. We are also concerned to learn of reports that INTERPOL may have promulgated a Saudi government warrant for his arrest. The implications of this mean that no asylum seeker or refugee is free from persecution even after having fled.

We demand that the Saudi authorities immediately and unconditionally release Kashgari. He has not committed any crime.
