The
untimely
death
of
John
"Lukey"
Yang,
16,
on
Tuesday
from
an
automobile
accident
has
shocked
and
saddened
the
Milwaukee,
Wisconsin
community
and
all
the
friends
and
family
that
knew
young
John.
The
local
news
reported
the
tragic
accident.
Funeral

Lukey

and
Chapel
Funeral
Home
in
Milwaukee,

Lukey
will

on
Monday.
"Lukey", as he was called was like a little brother to Elvis Thao 25, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Elvis,
a
freestyle
rapper
and
musician
with
RARE,
a
popular
band
that
is
based
in
Milwaukee,
Wisconsin
writes
this
tribute
to
his
young
friend
Lukey.
He
was
a
good
kid.
Smart,
brave,
creative,
and
to
me,
most
importantly,
fun.
This
dude
was
funny
as
all
hell.
Man,
he
was
funny.
If
there
was
one
thing
that
I
liked,
it
was
his
brightness.
At
age
16,
he
knew
how
to
hunt,
fish,
touch
cars,
fix
houses,
drive
and
so
much
more.
A
lot
of
things
that
at
my
age
(25)
I
do
not
know
how
to
do.
He
was
also
very
athletic,
yet
clumsy
(haha)
at
the
same
time.
He
was
also
a
rapper
and
a
great
dancer.
This
dude
could
dance.
We
always
had
fun
with
it.
Messing
with
each
other.
He
absolutely
loved
music.
And
I
really
would
have
liked
to
use
him

What's in store for the Year of the Fire Dog?
The influence of the fire element creating earth prevails, increasing the opportunities for harmony and peaceable solutions to global and environmental challenges, even as there remain potential for fire-earth related disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, nuclear events, building and mining collapses, etc. Industries related to wood such as writing, publishing, furniture, textiles, will do well because they fuel fire. Healthwise, the fire element governs the blood circulation, heart, and the earth element affects the spleen, shoulder, stomach and digestive system, cancer and diabetes. Finance, energy, electricity, stock market and airline industries will do well.

The
recent
death
of
Steve
Jobs,
a
man
who
dared
to
dream
and
create
beyond
the
constraints
of
the
prevailing
consciousness,
brought
many
people
including
me
to
a
place
of
deeper
reflection.
What
does
it
mean
to
be
really
alive?
How
do
I
make
sure
that
I
am
living
my
highest
potential
every
day?
How
do
I
ensure
that
I
will
feel
at
peace
when
it
is
my
time
to
leave
this
planet?
“Your
time
is
limited,
so
don’t
waste
it
living
someone
else’s
life.
Don’t
be
trapped
by
dogma
—
which
is
living
with
the
results
of
other
people’s
thinking.
Don’t
let
the
noise
of
others’
opinions
drown
out
your
own
inner
voice.
And
most
important,
have
the
courage
to
follow
your
heart
and
intuition.
They
somehow
already
know
what
you
truly
want
to
become.
Everything
else
is
secondary.”
--- Steve
Jobs
