I just found you while googling “oil spill corn cobs”. I like this post very much, because it expresses similar thoughts to mine. I support the idea of using alternative eco-friendly oil spill cleanup solutions like the ones you mentioned and any other ones, and to apply as many of these as possible starting right now.

Obviously some solutions will be more cost-effective and easier to apply than others, some will create more jobs than others for Louisiana and Gulf Coast people who may have lost their livelihood due to this crisis; but why not provide people with ways to chip in according to their expertise and belief; they’ll be more passionate about participating.

Personally, I decided to focus on spreading the news about Adria Brown’s Golden Retriever oil spill clean up method using corn cobs because Adria is a friend of mine, her method is patented, and I believe she can make it happen. Plus her solution makes a lot of sense to an engineer and physicist’s mind like mine.

I am also using this gulf oil spill opportunity to inspire myself (and everyone out there who comes across my posts and comments) to look even deeper inside myself (themselves) and find the real source of all the messes I (and all of us) experience in life.

After years of studying quantum physics and using various introspection methods, I have come to the conclusion that the biggest problem is my (our) addiction to feeling bad about various experiences in life (e.g. angry, sad, fearful and most of all powerless–the main characteristic of victims)

31 years ago, I started this introspection using technologies of consciousness introduced to the west by Indian monk Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (such as Transcendental Meditation and the TM-Sidhis program). In the late 90′s, I started attending Landmark Education’s transformational seminars (such as the Landmark Curriculum for Living and the Communications Curriculum). And now my main tool is one I created to fit my desire, which is to create PERMANENT freedom from any unwanted condition in my life.

Over the past 11 years, I have developed, used and facilitated for others a process I call the Unconditional Freedom Process. (check out the bottom of webpage http://recovery.windenberger.com and listen to the May 27th 2010 interview on radio show “Truly Sustainable Sarasota” on WSLR, and find out what I had to say about unconditional freedom from powerlessness in relation to the oil spill disaster)

Anyway I am glad I stumbled upon your site today, and I look forward to exploring the mind of DCS.

I understand this is a busy time for you. It is because this is such a crucial time for New Orleans, and the state of Louisiana that I’m writing. I’m sure you’ve gotten a great many letters voicing their opinion about the recent brouhaha over the noise ordiance curfew. As a member of this wonderful city, I must add my voice to the topic.

Street musicians are deeply entrenched in our city’s history. It is an element that adds to the wonderful ambiance of the French Quarter. In Disney’s The Princess and the Frog, the music of this wonderful city is aptly portrayed. There is even a scene in the movie where Prince Navine is dancing in the street with a Brass Band. That is classic New Orleans. Before I moved here one my fondest memories ever, is having an experience with a group of musicians playing during carnival season. It is a vital part of this city, and it brings such a wonderful, positive element that I think New Orleans needs, especially now.

I understand that the pressure to enforce the ordinance is apparently coming from residents of the Quarter. I’m sure a compromise can be reached, and I completely understand about the noise level. For about six months I lived on Bourbon and St. Louis, so yeah I get it, noise. However, I also work in the French Quarter, down on Charters and Governor Nicholos so I also know that are plenty of area’s people can live if they don’t want to be disturbed by the street musicians. It is, Mayor Landrieu a common sense issue. While everyone has a right to peace and quiet, if you choose to live in certain areas of a city, especially one that is such a tourist center, and has been home to the street musicians that give this city such a unique flavor for decades, certain things need to be accepted, and I believe this is one of them.

I’m confident after listening to so many of the voices that support the musicians, both local and visitors whose lives have been touched by such a vital part of our city, that you’ll do the right thing for all parties involved. I urge you, if you cannot get rid of the silly curfew all together that you extend it, significantly. Bottom line Mayor Landrieu this ordinance does more harm than good, and that should be reason enough.

Thank you for your continued support of New Orlean’s best traditions.

Sincerely,
Crystal Storm

Just saying.
