Contrary to popular belief, Oktoberfest, the annual German beer festival, doesn't begin in October, it actually starts this weekend! Just because I can't travel to this year's event doesn't mean I shouldn't celebrate in the comforts of my own home. You can, too, by following my plan for the ultimate Oktoberfest.

Miep Gies, the last surviving member of the group who helped protect Anne Frank and her family from the Nazis, has died in the Netherlands aged 100. She and other employees of Anne Frank's father Otto supplied food to the family as they hid in a secret annex above the business premises in Amsterdam.
Anne's diary of their life in hiding, which ended in betrayal, is one of the most famous records of the Holocaust.

If money is no object, here are some cool decorations but a little pricey. I prefer to either make my own decorations like the Penguin ornament that I put up or make something out of food so I can eat it later, LOL.

Another one of my random trips - this time to McLeod Ganj. I had just had possibly the most depressing 7 weeks of my life in the Delhi summer, and desperately needed a break. Two very close friends, Ronak and Dalia, were already in McLeod Ganj (Himachal, gotta love it!) and I just HAD to go!

I am an animal lover and I know that I sort of went into my feelings about them before in another blog, but I thought I would write another one. Just in case you do not know who PETA is you can go to www.peta.org to get the full aspect on PETA, but be warned, there is some graphic material on there. Basically PETA is "People for the ethical treatment of animals", which basically they state that animals should not be used for any kind of meat, fur, or be used in any way such as pulling farm equipment, having jobs, etc.

The National Socialism of Obamanomics
By James Srodes
It is commonplace today to believe we should refer to the benign innovations of John Maynard Keynes during the Great Depression in order to understand what is driving President Obama’s team of economic strategists. But a look back to that time leads one to conclude the Depression-era economist who appears most relevant to what is going on bears the improbable name of Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht.
From his post as head of the Reichsbank, in a career that ran nearly 20 years, Schacht w as in effective control of the shambolic German economy for successive Weimar Republic governments and the pre-World War II regime of Adolf Hitler.
