My humble opinion about Feng Shui

Feng Shui is an eastern custom with principles in the Chi (breath of life). It looks for harmonize the life and its environment in a group of superstitions and rules dictaded by an expert in the field. I really agree with the Feng Shui argument that believes in the position of the wind ant the sun to build a house and also that the environment of the house is directly related to the our lives, but what I don't agree with is the fung shui principle related to the spirituality. In my opinion Feng Shui is a superstition, nothing more, nothing less.

Water

Nowdays it may sound strange to talk about "drinking water from the faucet" but around ten years ago, most people in DR used to drink water directly from the tap. I remember that only wealthy people used to drink bottled water. But currently that is no longer possible, nobody in healthy mental condition drinks that water. Why? The reason is clear, obvious, you can get easily sick with any bacteria.

Something more about feng shui.

Feng shui could be a practice, art, theory, tecnic or whatever is really interesting.
Feng shui based in the feeling this comfort or unhappiness could be synonim of luck. Is evident that because of feng shui some people move their lives for example today feng shui has become an aspect of decorating as important people in the world. So i understand if your place is nice good and comfortable your lives is just like that.

In many cases i disagree with feng shui becauses people shouldn`t take it so seriously.

Policy and Politics Collide as Obama Enters Campaign Mode

WASHINGTON — The summons from the president came without warning the Thursday before Labor Day. As she was driven the four blocks to the White House, Lisa P. Jackson, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, suspected that the news would not be good. What she did not see coming was a rare public rebuke the president was about to deliver by rejecting her proposal to tighten the national standard for smog.

The White House announced the decision the next morning, infuriating environmental and public health advocates. They called it a bald surrender to business pressure, an act of political pandering and, most galling, a cold-blooded betrayal of a loyal constituency.

“This was the worst thing a Democratic president had ever done on our issues,” said Gene Karpinski, president of the League of Conservation Voters. “Period.”

Industry groups and their Republican allies praised the move, which leaves a far more lenient ozone rule in place for at least a year. But then they reeled off a dozen other proposed environmental, labor and health regulations they also wanted killed.

In the weeks since that decision, the administration has made a number of other environmental decisions, sending mixed messages that left both environmentalists and industry lobbyists perplexed. Two major clean air rules have been delayed, at least temporarily. The Interior Department announced a significant expansion of offshore drilling in the Arctic and the Gulf of Mexico over the next five years. Last week, the administration bowed to pressure from protesters, green groups and residents and officials in Nebraska in announcing that it would delay a decision on the bitterly contested Keystone XL oil pipeline until after the 2012 election. Taken together, the moves mark the White House’s growing awareness of the costs of environmental regulation in a battered economy.

But the full retreat on the smog standard was the first and most important environmental decision of the presidential campaign season that is now fully under way. This examination of that decision, based on interviews with lobbyists on both sides, former officials and policy makers at the upper reaches of the White House and the E.P.A., illustrates the new calculus on political and policy shifts as the White House sharpens its focus on the president’s re-election.

The decision pitted Ms. Jackson, a Princeton-trained chemical engineer and self-described “New Orleans girl,” against the White House chief of staff, William M. Daley, a son and brother of bare-knuckled Chicago mayors who was brought in to help repair relations with business and Congress. It also shows the clout of Cass R. Sunstein, the legal powerhouse who serves, mostly behind the scenes, as the president’s regulatory czar with the mission of keeping the costs of regulation under control. While Mr. Daley has recently given up some responsibilities at the White House, he remains the administration’s conduit for business interests. The ozone decision was jarring because it was wholly unexpected. Ms. Jackson considered resigning but soon abandoned the idea as a futile gesture.

Many of the president’s supporters remain unsettled, fearing that the ozone decision meant he was abandoning environmental issues. But White House officials cite two major vehicle emissions rules, the pipeline delay and the president’s stated promise to carry through on other clean air measures as evidence of the administration’s devotion to their causes.

How a Person Becomes Shy

For some people, shyness may be a genetic trait and for other people it might be a learned behavior. Since the late 1980s there has been some research that indicates genetic links for shyness in some people. Those different genetic links are currently being studied.

Other people might suffer from shyness because they feel awkward in certain situations. This may have developed because they were never taught how to act in those situations or because they suffered from harsh ridicule or an embarrassing incident in those types of situations in the past.
