At the end of my recent article, "Five Minute Innovation", I left you with an admittedly intentional cliffhanger. I told you that the secret to five-minute innovation was learning to eat soup with a fork.
(Those of you who've just pulled out a spork and feel as if you've accomplished something might want to hold off on the victory dance for just a few minutes.)
At its core, innovation is the process of creating or discovering ideas that solve a problem, or fill a need. Logistical details regarding the quality and implementation of ideas generally reside outside the innovation process which creates them. History teaches us that for any kind of innovative breakthrough, whether in industry, art or academia, many ideas need to be created and evaluated before a winning idea emerges. The Economist estimates that the number of ideas needed to fuel a successful product development initiative approaches three-thousand.
Think about that for a moment. For a winning idea which is made manifest as a product in today's markets, hundreds or even thousands of similar ideas have to be created, validated, and filtered. Winning product development companies recognize this, but their challenge is none the less a formidable one. In order to fill a product pipeline, a winning company (or individual) must have an ability to come up with more ideas of higher quality, and in less time to compete in a global market.
They must master sustainable innovation.
Is it really possible to minimize the time it takes to create or discover an idea? In my experience, successful, rapid and repeatable innovation first means breaking problems down into their simplest, independent forms. Repeatable methodologies and task-based tools are then applied to tackle these simpler problems. Mastering skills and tools that enable quick creation of even a few ideas to solve simple problems is the key to developing breakthrough ideas when solving much larger problems. All it takes to develop these skills is a bit of mental calisthenics, and the will to exercise on a daily basis. The essential (and only) innovation exercise you'll ever need is this:
Challenge yourself to create and validate just one idea in 5 minutes.
I often pose this challenge to industry leaders, executives and students. Take the dumbest, simplest problem you can find and try to independently create one new idea to address it. Learning to eat soup with a fork is a perfect problem because the goal is so absurd. Why would we actually choose to use a fork to eat soup? The obvious answer is that we wouldn't. There is safety in this exercise, because very likely we don't care if the idea is good or not, and that's exactly the point.
Often we let the fear of failure and the high stakes of success constrain our creative and critical thought processes. We often focus on finding the right answer as the first answer, which means that we rarely learn anything about our own thought processes, let alone try to improve them. Five Minute Innovation changes the focus from finding the "right" answer(s) to honing our creative thought processes and finding one answer quickly.
So, first we need a methodology of thought, but which? The Scientific Method? Six Hats? Deming Wheels? Creative Whack-Pack? Rider-Waite? Take your pick or bring your own method – the important thing is to be consistent in any thought method's application. For our creative plunge into the soup, I'm going to use a methodology known as the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, or as it's known in the original Russian form, TRIZ.
A word or two about TRIZ: TRIZ is a wonderful problem solving methodology. Unfortunately due primarily to language barriers, it hasn't been as widely practiced as other methods over the years. The fundamental benefits and applications of TRIZ are relatively simple to master. Software applications such as Invention Machine Goldfire Innovator provide automation and facilitation of key benefits from the TRIZ method. For more information on the TRIZ methodology itself, the TRIZ Journal website is a good place to start reading.
Getting back to our forking soup problem, we have a definite tradeoff here, or what often is referred to as an engineering contradiction. A part of our system's design (presumably with the goal in mind of transporting soup) is completely at odds with what's happening (the soup falls through the fork tines). In the TRIZ method, this is a sweet spot for rapid, creative thinking. We are encouraged to consider using what are known as some of the Forty Inventive Principles by thinking about the problem through a pre-defined contradiction analysis. I'll spare you the theory here, but let's jump to the thinking part. One TRIZ-based analysis suggests that with this given tradeoff, we look at solving the systemic problems by any of several approaches:
- Change any parameter of the system including its phase, flexibility, consistency, temperature, (etc.)
- Introduce a porous element or intermediary into the system
- Do something in advance to increase the current system's efficiency
So, given these constraints for thinking about a way to solve the problem, what can you think of in just five minutes?
How about:
- Freeze the soup. ("Waiter, I asked for some really cold Gazpacho.")
- Use the fork to pick up a piece of bread which can then be used to soak up larger volumes of soup.
- Bend the fork tines to create a pair of pincer grips for grabbing the edge of the soup bowl, and bend the fork handle around to look like a cup handle. Grab the edge of the bowl with your newly formed pincer grips. You've just turned the bowl and fork system into a gigantic mug. (I take no responsibility for your dry cleaning bills or any restaurant blacklisting you may encounter should you try this idea.)
Are all these ideas winners? Probably not. The point is that it only took a short time to create and explore them.
Many ideas usually need to be created and evaluated before confidence to choose any single idea is sufficient. While everyone's creative capabilities are different, everyone has the ability to improve both the level and frequency of simple, pro-active problem solving through short and repeatable exercises.
Five Minute Innovation is a method which, when consciously applied, can help hone and tune technical and creative thought processes. If gaps or blanks appear during its application, that's just as important as coming up with new ideas. It indicates a need for additional knowledge and perspectives, which helps both current and future innovation cycles. Acquiring and managing knowledge is separate from the innovation process, but is another barrier to Johnny's innovation, which I'll talk about in a future article.
So, when you have five minutes to spare, what new ideas will you create?

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) North Carolina's defense hasn't had a particularly strong start.
Heading into Saturday's home opener against James Madison, the Tar Heels gave up big rushing numbers in a season-opening loss to Georgia and got off to a bad start before settling down in last weekend's win at Illinois. Now the Tar Heels are playing a team ranked No. 8 in the Championship Subdivision that has scored 136 points in its first two games.
''In two games, I don't know that I can say I know exactly what our defense is or what our offense is, or what our special teams are yet,'' coach Larry Fedora said. ''I don't know if in two games you've been through enough to be able to create that identity that you have. Another couple of games I think we'll know who this team is.''
The problem for the Tar Heels (1-1) is familiar: run defense. After surrendering nearly 1,000 yards on the ground in their last two games of 2015, UNC gave up 289 yards rushing to the Nick Chubb-led Bulldogs.
Then the Tar Heels allowed a 65-yard touchdown run on the third snap against the Illini, though they tightened up and allowed 117 yards rushing the rest of the night in the 48-23 win.
The Dukes (2-0) have rushed for 810 yards in two games.
''They probably watched our film and thought, `Oh these guys may not be that good in the run defense, they gave up all those yards to Nick Chubb,' all that type of stuff,'' UNC linebacker Andre Smith said. ''So they're going to come in really hyped, playing against Carolina, and so I just can't wait for the opportunity to play against those guys.''
The Dukes are seeking to beat an Atlantic Coast Conference team for the third time, the last coming against Virginia Tech in 2010.
''You see some of these games that get way out of whack with the score - most of the time that happens because you go in there and do things you normally don't do in a ballgame,'' new JMU coach Mike Houston said. ''If we can go in there and be us I think that's going to be our best chance for success.''
Some other things to know about Saturday's James Madison-North Carolina game:
DEFENSIVE HELP: UNC junior defensive end Tyler Powell hasn't played due to personal issues. He returned to practice this week. It's unclear what role he'll play, but it certainly will help a front still shorthanded with junior Dajuan Drennon yet to play due to an undisclosed injury.
FAMILIAR FACES: The Dukes will have some familiarity with the Tar Heels. Former South Carolina quarterback Connor Mitch and former Duke receiver Terrence Alls have transferred in after playing UNC last year. Offensive coordinator Donnie Kirkpatrick also coached against UNC when he was an assistant at East Carolina.
LOGAN'S RUN: Senior tailback T.J. Logan has been the Tar Heels' most impressive player so far. He ran for 80 yards and a touchdown to go with a 95-yard kick return for a touchdown against Georgia, then followed with a 58-yard return and a TD catch against Illinois. Logan is fifth nationally in all-purpose yardage (207 per game).
LINEBACKER PLAY: North Carolina's linebackers are still learning on the job. New starters Andre Smith and Cole Holcomb have had good moments, but there have been some shaky ones, too - including when Smith's defensive call to the line conflicted with another that came in on Illinois' long TD run. ''It's a young linebacking group,'' second-year coordinator Gene Chizik said. ''So those guys are going to have to continue to grow within the defense, and I think they are.''
OFFENSIVE LINES: James Madison's projected starting offensive line checks in at an average of 6 feet, 3 inches and 296 pounds, so the Dukes have some size. As for UNC, the Tar Heels won't have opening-game starter Tommy Hatton at right guard. He hasn't practiced or played since the Georgia game due to personal issues. Fedora had hoped he would return this week.

Product Description
Tired of dice rolling off the table? Weary of lugging around unwieldy dice towers? Looking to take control of your dice rather than your dice controlling you! Then, this portable dice rolling tower designed to assemble into a convenient, free-standing boot shape is for you!

Average Rating: 4 in 4 reviews
I wanted an inexpensive, transparent dice boot/tower, and this one fit the bill.
As is, this dice boot has a couple of drawbacks: i. it is a bit noisy for some tastes; ii. the smooth surface doesn't grip dice, allowing them to slide instead of tumble.
I bought a few dollars worth of Moleskin and a 'rubber husband' rubber jar opener and easily fixed both shortcomings. I glued sections of the rubber jar opener to sections of Moleskin and then applied the Moleskin to the surfaces that the dice make contact with.
To eliminate 'stuctural rattling' (the boot pieces don't fit completely tightly to each other, and so rattle a bit) I put three rubber bands around the tower.
The result isn't beautiful, but it is quiet and the dice tumble nicely.
I was somehow expecting something bigger when I asked the owner of the local gameshop to order me one of these babies. I wish it had been bigger, too, since the wall of the dice corral is barely 3/4" at it's shortest. Dice frequently bounce out: even more frequently if you're rolling more at one time.
Regarding another reviewer's misgivings about the randomization of the d4, I did some testing. I took a fair* d4 and dropped it into the boot, with the 1-corner initially pointing up and the 2-corner initially pointing toward the back of the boot in each of the 84 trials. (So, if the boot were bouncing the die in an insufficiently random way, we could expect to see a bias in the results.) Sum of chi-squared values divided by E was about 2.43, which the math majors amongst you might notice indicates adequate randomization**.
However, the boot loses 1/2 star for not being very visually impressive (I still want a big, ostentatious, 3-foot tall dice tower... maybe I'm just sick.), and a further full star for the frequency with which dice bounce out. In short, the dice boot is really only worth getting if you're concerned that your friends aren't rolling fairly. It won't keep your dice from knocking over your minis, it won't keep your dice from winding up on the floor, and it's not very beautiful to behold.
*(chi-squared method, 80 trials, 20 expected appearances per face, sum
of chi-squared values divided by E = <2)
**(a value over 6 might have been a reason to lift an eyebrow, and a value over 12 would have indicated a certainly biased roll.) So, drop your d4s into the dice boot without fear!
This is a great product I recently purchased from Tom Vasel whose podcast is sponsored here. It is a neat product that makes rolling dice fun and it's portable.

UNDERSTANDING EASEMENTS IN REAL ESTATE Part 5: Disputing Location and Scope of Use
As covered in my previous Articles on Easements, an easement, "is the right to use the land of another owner (or the right to prevent another property owner from using his or her land) for a special purpose." It is not an ownership interest in land but, rather, a non-possessory interest in the land of another. The right to use the land of another can be created by written agreement – Easements and Licenses – or by usage over time – Prescriptive Easement.
However, even when such use is agreed upon, the easement is limited in its scope to that intended by the parties. For example, an easement owner may not materially increase the burden of the easement on the servient estate or impose a new burden beyond that identified in the conveyancing instrument. "Normal future uses" of the easement that are within the parties' reasonable contemplation are therefore permissible, while "uncontemplated abnormal uses," which greatly increase the burden, are not. Obviously, determining whether this is "reasonable" or not can be the subject of intense litigation.
For example:
Location: The location of an easement may be implied from "use and acquiescence". Often, an easement is merely described such as "Able has an easement to cross the land of Baker" but it lacks any specific survey of where Able may cross Baker's land. Over time, by useage, the easement area becomes relatively if not precisely apparent. Unless specified differently, Able would only have a single easement so he could not reasonably cross Baker's land in different places each time. On the other hand, if Baker did nothing to stop this, then absent some agreement between them, a Court would have to order where Able's easement would actually be located.
Scope of Use
Ingress & Egress: Another common dispute concerns how the easement is being used. Easements for "ingress and egress" are common to connect Able's landlocked Parcel to a main road on the other side of Baker's Parcel. But how can Able use this land? If Able's Parcel has a home, then the reasonable use of the driveway would be for a driveway for Able (or his successors).
Construction: But if Able was seeking to build a home on his Parcel, that would typically require use of heavy equipment and many vehicles to travel on the easement causing noise, dust, and other possible disturbances to Baker. Generally, if the reasonably expected use of Able's land was for residential purposes, Baker would not be able to stop Able's construction, especially since it would be limited in time.
Subdivision: A different problem arises when Able seeks to subdivide his Parcel into numerous smaller lots and build homes on each. Not only does this substantially increase the disturbance to Baker during the construction period, but more importantly it permanently increases the number of vehicles crossing Baker's Parcel. Is this permanent increase beyond the reasonable scope that Baker anticipated? This may take a Court to decide.
Change of Land Use: Similarly, a different problem would arise if Able were to change the land use, for example from residential to industrial or logging. This might not only dramatically increase the number of vehicles crossing Baker's land but also allow larger and more noisy vehicles. While this might reasonably be beyond the use that Baker expected, a determination would be required as to whether Baker's opposition was in fact reasonable. Did he know that Able planned on industrial use? Is this the "highest and best use" of Able's land?
Litigation: As referenced in my September, 2016 Article on Enforcement, if a dispute between Able and Baker on the use of the easement cannot be informally resolved, one of the parties will likely file a lawsuit to specifically define the location of the easement and to enforce or stop the intended change in the scope of use. This would start with the filing of a Complaint in Superior Court typically requesting the Court to issue "Declaratory Relief", i.e: an Order identifying the rights and obligations of the parties. In doing so, Able might record a Notice of Pending Action (also called a "Lis Pendens") giving public notice of his claim. This could be especially important if Baker is in the process of subdividing or selling his Property. Able might also seek a Restraining Order and Injunction compelling Baker to allow his use during the course of the litigation. Baker, of course, would raise several defenses in seeking to defeat Abel's Complaint. The primary approach would be challenging the validity of Abel's facts and the reasonableness of his usage. Eventually, a Judge would make a decision as to the location and use of the easement and this Order would be recorded to create an enforceable written document, equivalent to a deeded Easement.
Alternative Dispute Resolution: Although no party could be compelled to use any process other than litigation, very often the parties find that a resolution can be achieved faster and at less cost by going through an Alternative Dispute Resolution process instead. This typically has two stages:
1. Mediation: In Mediation, the parties (often with their attorneys) with a trained Mediator who will seek to assist the parties to reach some mutually acceptable resolution and thus avoid the costs and uncertainties of litigation or arbitration. If such a resolution is reached, the result is generally a signed and recordable Agreement resolving the dispute. It is important to understand that Mediation is an "assistive" process only. The Mediator has no authority to make any decisions or issue any orders. Further, what is discussed in Mediation remains confidential and cannot be used against the other in later proceeding.
2. Arbitration: If Mediation efforts are unsuccessful, the parties then have the choice of proceeding to court-based litigation or to binding Arbitration (often called "private court"). While Arbitration has many pros and cons compared with litigation, its best features is the potential for a faster resolution and a lower cost than court proceedings. An Arbitration "Award" can be converted to a Court Order and be equally enforced. On the other hand, there is no right to a jury trial or appeal process available.

Classic & Current Contemporary Non-Schlock-Rock Metropolitan Music
Liars (Apr. 2004) - Todd Rundgren
This isn't supposed to be my "real" essay on this record. I have been putting off writing about it for a lot of reasons. But since it is the record I have listened to the most over the past couple of months, I guess it is time to acknowledge it on Deaconlight.com. This essay is going to be really boring so if you have something better to do, don't bother with this.
I am not going to write much about the record itself right now. I'm not ready. Part of me doesn't want to share it with anyone. The other part of me just doesn't have time. I could probably write a book about this record.
Then there was all the commotion with the Todd interview and concert and my essay on the show. Deaconlight.com is about all types of music, not just Todd. My Todd page and record notes on Deaconlight.com don't really indicate how important Todd's music has been in my life.
I got depressed about Todd the first time I met him in 1983. I tried to get an interview and he wouldn't do it. All I got was an autograph. For years after that I had a recurring dream that I was trying to get an interview with Todd, and he wanted to do it, but there was always something in the way not letting me. I continued to have this dream until I met him again in 1986 with my friend Warren Hudson, who was the Warner Brothers rep at the time. (Warren now runs Decatur CD near Atlanta.) Anyway, for some reason, that's when the dreams stopped.
I did finally get a chance to do a little phone interview with him on April 1 of this year to promote his appearance in Greensboro. But I still wanted to do a real interview on tape when he was on tour in the East. It didn't work out and I understand a lot of the reasons why. To make it worse, we didn't have the best exchange of words after the show. He was sick. I was tired. I was trying to joke around. He thought I was serious and made some comment about me "having an attitude." But now I feel like Todd thinks I'm a jerk. And not a cool jerk either. He was very nice to my kids, however, and I am grateful for that.
So now I'm all depressed again about Todd since his last impression of me was not a positive one. One thing that did perk me up was reading a posting on the TRConnection Web site where someone wrote that it was because of my Deaconlight shows back in the 1970s that he went to see Todd this year.
I will close for now by saying that Liars is a wonderful record. Some day I will tell you more about it. I think it is my favorite record since A Wizard / A True Star. It also proves the incredible musical talent this guy has to be able to put out such an original piece of work after all these years in the music biz.

About This Concert:
Associate Conductor Roderick Cox wowed audiences and critics last season in his subscription debut, and he builds on that success with one of the piano world's most dazzling talents, Alessio Bax.
- Minnesota Orchestra
- Roderick Cox, conductor
- Alessio Bax, piano
Valentino Dances
Piano Concerto
Symphonic Dances
Fun Facts:
- The Star Tribune called Cox's performance last season "a highly auspicious subscription concert debut. Cox will be in the vanguard."
- Dominick Argento's Valentino Dances comes from his acclaimed 1993 opera, The Dream of Valentino, about the silent-film heartthrob Rudolf Valentino.
- Argento, who remembers his boyhood music classes as "50-minute sessions of excruciating boredom," is Minnesota's only Pulitzer Prize winner in composition.
- Shhh: don't tell the Norwegians! Grieg, Norway's most beloved composer, wrote his Piano Concerto in Denmark (where he went for the sun) after studying in Germany.
- Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances was his final work, written in 1940 and summing up a long career with brief quotes from earlier pieces, but it also holds a beautiful alto saxophone solo that surprised everyone at its premiere.
- Alessio Bax has won several of the world's most prestigious piano competitions, and he also loves to write; his online journal "Have Piano Will Travel" began as a way for him to write about the music world, but he often included favorite recipes as well, so now many think of it as his food blog.
- Roderick Cox also conducts a concert that features a collaboration with African American artists and church choirs, entitled "Send Me Hope" on Sat Oct 7.
About this Concert:
In this collaborative concert, local artists and African American church choirs perform with the Minnesota Orchestra to celebrate the power of music to connect communities of diverse traditions and backgrounds.

Symphony No. 4
Fun Facts:
- Nathalie Stutzmann is a quadruple-threat musician: she plays piano and bassoon, and her gorgeous contralto voice has been heard in Carnegie Hall, Vienna's Musikverein, and the Proms in London. Lately her conducting career has exploded as she has formed her own orchestra, called Orfeo 55.
- Prokofiev's First Symphony embodies a light and buoyant 18th-century spirit, but his later works would inflame Soviet-era critics for decades with his brash composing style.
- At the heart of the concert, FRIENDS competition winner Bixby Kennedy performs Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, his last completed work and undoubtedly one of the most poignant.

Fun Facts:
- Drums and horns are ancient and universal. Fundamental sounds of celebration and dance, a call to action and a reverie. In jazz, they can whisper and shout, cajole and soothe.
- Kevin Washington is a master musician and has been featured in Modern Drummer Magazine. His dedication to drumming began as soon as he could hold the sticks.
- For this concert, John Raymond returns from New York to his Twin Cities home. His music is renowned as "electrifyingly new and strangely familiar at the same time with his mix of modern sounds and old-fashioned feeling." —Downbeat Magazine
- Of this series, Pioneer Press notes "Orchestra Hall's Target Atrium is the Twin Cities' answer to New York's Dizzy's Club Coca Cola in Lincoln Center—a smaller, more intimate venue where listeners can enjoy concert hall-quality jazz."

What was once a small music collective, Odd Future have since reached newfound levels of success after individually following their own artistic paths.
Around a decade ago, the collective known as 'Odd Future' first made waves on the scene due to their quirky and unique approach that blended music and fashion so authentically. Fronted by the well-known music and cultural icon Tyler the Creator, the group also includes a number of other notable names such as Frank Ocean, Earl Sweatshirt, Syd, Hodgy Beats and Taco.
Odd Future first began garnering attention at the start of the decade, when the group dropped their 'Radical' mixtape that fell underneath the genre of 'alternative' hip-hop. A number of Odd Future members made their debut on the tape, and the mixtape was met with both support and criticism, largely in part to the mature subject matter and widespread vulgarity used by Odd Future artists. Despite the controversial lyricism, the group quickly gained a loyal fanbase and began touring, producing more music and eccentric videos to accompany them.
The success of Odd Future occurred so quickly that the group hardly had time to adjust to the newfound fame and popularity. The demand for both more music and live performances was overwhelming, and the group began touring both nationally and internationally while simultaneously creating 'sub-groups' within the collective. Due to the high number of Odd Future members and varying creative approaches, Odd Future was able to create different types of music to appeal to a widespread group of music aficionados. While their success in the music industry was undeniable, the group decided to expand its creative abilities to a new platform; television. Their comedy sketch 'Loiter Squad' appeared on the programming block Adult Swim between 2012 and 2014.
Along with a successful music career and television series, the group's creativity expanded even further in a way that truly defined their quirkiness and eccentricity. The GOLFWANG clothing line quickly became a fan favourite, utilizing bright colours and patterns along with images and sketches designed by immediate members of the group. This clothing line quickly emerged at tour stops, pop-up shops and eventually even in established retail stores. The Odd Future crew didn't stop there, however, and began the now annual Camp Flow Gnaw carnival and music festival in Los Angeles, an event that has grown in popularity and success with each passing year.
Despite the fact that each of these successes incorporates the Odd Future collective, a large factor in their growth can be attributed to the individual popularity of Tyler the Creator. While Tyler has played a large part in the growth of the collective, some members have strayed away, with some even officially announcing their departure. It's hard to even imagine that mature, successful R&B artists such as Frank Ocean and Syd were even once members of the collective, especially considering some of the subject matter in Odd Future's lyrics regarding sexuality. There have also been a number of reported rifts between members, which is somewhat expected when so many creatives are looking to go in different directions. While some artists like Tyler, Frank Ocean and Earl have become household names in their respective disciplines, other Odd Future members have since faded out of popularity since the group reached its peak a number of years prior.
Despite the different directions that the Odd Future collective has taken, each and every member has played an extremely influential role in pushing the musical and creative boundaries. Their unique, weird and controversial approach to creating music makes them a famous standout in the music industry that has paved the way for other collectives, and friends, to go beyond the status quo and take full advantage of the creativity possessed by each member. While the group may not be the tight-knit collective it once was, the Odd Future name and label will live on through each of its members, regardless of the directions they choose to take.
Words by James Bilyk.

Well, I can't believe you didn't notice the brands play such a big part in our lives before. =P
Maybe it's because I work in advertising... but I use to think that people know how much they are 'brands slaves'. =D

I recently learned that the first stanza of Walt Whitman's poem, Song of the Open Road, had been engraved into rock along the AT at the entrance of the Trailside Museum and Zoo. I vaguely remember reading parts of Whitman's work in high school and college, so I thought I would look up the entire poem. Below are only segments of the entire poem that prove inspirational to me as I prepare for the trail (read the whole poem if you get a chance)!
Song of the Open Road, by Walt Whitman (1856)
Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road,
Healthy, free, the world before me,
The long brown path before me leading wherever I choose.
Henceforth I ask not good-fortune, I myself am good-fortune,
Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing,
Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms,
Strong and content I travel the open road.
The earth, that is sufficient,
I do not want the constellations any nearer,
I know they are very well where they are,
I know they suffice for those who belong to them...
From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines,
Going where I list, my own master total and absolute,
Listening to others, considering well what they say,
Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating,
Gently,but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me.
I inhale great draughts of space,
The east and the west are mine, and the north and the south are mine.
I am larger, better than I thought,
I did not know I held so much goodness.
All seems beautiful to me,
I can repeat over to men and women You have done such good to me I would do the same to you,
I will recruit for myself and you as I go,
I will scatter myself among men and women as I go,
I will toss a new gladness and roughness among them,
Whoever denies me it shall not trouble me,
Whoever accepts me he or she shall be blessed and shall bless me.
Now if a thousand perfect men were to appear it would not amaze me,
Now if a thousand beautiful forms of women appear'd it would not astonish me.
Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons,
It is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.
Here a great personal deed has room,
(Such a deed seizes upon the hearts of the whole race of men,
Its effusion of strength and will overwhelm law and mocks all authority and all argument against it.)
Here is the test of wisdom,
Wisdom is not finally tested in schools,
Wisdom cannot be pass'd from one having it to another not having it,
Wisdom is of the soul, is not susceptible of proof, is its own proof,
Applies to all stages and objects and qualities and is content,
Is the certainty of the reality and immortality of things, and the excellence of things;
Something there is in the float of the sight of things that provokes it out of the soul.
Now I re-examine philosophies and religions,
They may prove well in lecture-rooms, yet not prove at all under the spacious clouds and along the landscape and flowing currents.
Here is realization,
Here is a man tallied—he realizes here what he has in him,
The past, the future, majesty, love—if they are vacant of you, you are vacant of them.
Only the kernel of every object nourishes;
Where is he who tears off the husks for you and me?
Where is he that undoes stratagems and envelopes for you and me?
Here is adhesiveness, it is not previously fashion'd, it is apropos;
Do you know what it is as you pass to be loved by strangers?
Do you know the talk of those turning eye-balls?
Allons! whoever you are come travel with me!
Traveling with me you find what never tires.
The earth never tires,
The earth is rude, silent, incomprehensible at first, Nature is rude and incomprehensible at first,
Be not discouraged, keep on, there are divine things well envelop'd,
I swear to you there are divine things more beautiful than words can tell.
Allons! we must not stop here,
However sweet these laid-up stores, however convenient this dwelling we cannot remain here,
However shelter'd this port and however calm these waters we must not anchor here,
However welcome the hospitality that surrounds us we are permitted to receive it but a little while.
Allons! the road is before us!
It is safe—I have tried it—my own feet have tried it well—be not detain'd!
Let the paper remain on the desk unwritten, and the book on the shelf unopen'd!
Let the tools remain in the workshop! let the money remain unearn'd!
Let the school stand! mind not the cry of the teacher!
Let the preacher preach in his pulpit! let the lawyer plead in the court, and the judge expound the law.
Camerado, I give you my hand!
I give you my love more precious than money,
I give you myself before preaching or law;
Will you give me yourself? will you come travel with me?
Shall we stick by each other as long as we live?

Suggestions For Cumulus' National Platforms
This is Part Two of a series of suggestions for how to turn around some of Cumulus' most-struggling platforms. Part One can be read here.
Cumulus under the Dickey Brothers had a habit of launching a new content strategy and then quickly putting it on the back-burner after it failed to meet expectations. In the past few years we've seen Sweetjack, CBS Sports Radio, Nash, Rdio and Westwood One all have their turn in the spotlight. We checked on Nash last week and Sweetjack and the Daily Deals industry is more or less dead at this point. What about the others?
CBS Sports Radio
Thanks to the CBS and Cumulus owned stations that picked up the network, CBS Sports Radio at launch was established in the #3 slot of the five national 24/7 sports radio networks. ESPN Radio and Fox Sports Radio remain ahead of it, Yahoo! and NBC Sports trailing it. The national CBS Sports television network would rather clear WFAN's Boomer & Carton in mornings rather than the national radio content.
Very little in the way of Cumulus personalities or station content has made their way to the network and the stations that have flipped to the network since its launch have seen little in the way of traction. At the time of the network's launch in 2012, Cumulus abandoned most of its Sports stations longstanding relationships with ESPN or Fox Sports Radio, but has since made deals to bring ESPN programming to a few markets and take over operations of ESPN's Dallas station.
While the goal to have national Sports content that they didn't need to license from ESPN or Clear Channel, what has CBS Sports Radio done to break out in the marketplace? Jim Rome is the only marketable personality and nothing is being done to make him seem as important as he did when he was with Fox Sports Radio and ESPN TV. How can that change? Fix the web and distribution platforms as we'll get to below.
Other than placing their station's streams on Rdio, Cumulus has done little to help the streaming service differentiate from their much larger competitors. Where are the custom playlists from Cumulus personalities that were to be added? What Cumulus personality has a national appeal that could be used to help launch such a feature? Last week former Sex Pistol Steve Jones relaunched his "Jonesy's Jukebox" on KLOS Los Angeles. Why isn't this being placed on Rdio? Why aren't Nash Icon signed artists like Reba McIntyre or Martina McBride contributing?
Westwood One
Over the past several months many radio operators have gotten involved in the burgeoning podcast industry. CBS has Play.it, Hubbard bought a stake in PodcastOne from Westwood One founder Norm Pattiz, iHeart has added quite a few sponsored ones to their platform, and Scripps made the largest commercial play by purchasing Midroll. What does Westwood One have that many of these podcasting networks are building from scratch? National and local content AND advertsing sales teams. All spoken word content being produced for national syndication and local consumption could easily be packaged directly to consumers via podcasting (and music programming to Rdio). The infrastructure is in place just not being used to its full capabilities.
The Web
Every major radio group has built out a single template they use for all their stations regardless of format. Cumulus' is one of the worst for flexibility and usually the worst when it comes to having a station's site have compelling content. Very often there are noticeable errors or laziness. Why are WPLJ's hosts listed on the on-air-now by their daypart? How is NashFM.com not used to link to ALL the Nash branded stations so listeners can find their local one as opposed to directing them straight to New York? These are simple fixes.
Even Mary Berner mentioned on today's Investor Call that Cumulus has no digital strategy. Time to change that. There is so much that can be done on the web to tie in with the local and national shows and the unique content that Cumulus has the rights to. Why is Hubbard's WTOP Washington running laps over every other station in the country when it comes to digital revenue? They have content and a reason for listeners to go to the station's website. It's not a hard concept, just needs to be done.

Name a character from one of my fandoms, and I'll give you either
(a) three facts about them from my personal canon/fanon
(b) a reason he/she is lousy [Original said "sucks" but since I think oral sex is a good thing and lice are a bad thing, I amended],
(c) a reason he/she is awesome,
(d) three things that never happened to that character or
(e) three people that character never fell in love with and why.
Pick the character, and give me... two letters to choose from. I'll give you one, or both.
I think it looks like fun. I can certainly do X-Men, HP or Star Wars. I know a little bit about a bunch of other fandoms and am willing to try for anything you give me if I know the source.

People Don't Pay Any Attention To The Busybodies/
On the New York subway these days, they have endless automated announcements about anything you might imagine. Of course the result is that nobody pays any attention whatsoever.
Riding home last night about 10 PM, an announcement came on that said "Protect your belongings. Keep your cellphone out of sight." Here was the scene in my car at the time.
I realized that, in about a third of one car, I was looking at at least half a dozen people doing something or other on their cell phones. (You may have to enlarge this picture some to spot them all.) Not one of them paid any attention to the announcement. They all kept doing exactly what they had been doing. So I took out my own cell phone and snapped the picture. Good job busybodies!

There aren't many things these days you can make yourself that is cheaper and better preforming then what you can buy off the shelf from some big factory but Skin on Frame Kayaks are an exception. At around 30 pounds with incredible durability they will out shine almost any factory made kayak you can find, not to mention that it can be custom fitted to you and what you want to do with it.
To start the process you'll need to contact us so we can work out the details of your kayak. Below are the main options and explanations of what we offer so you can familiarize yourself with what we can do. If you don't feel like reading just get in touch and we can explain in person. Or if you already know what you want or have plans from somewhere else, no problem, we can do that.
The main hull options are width, length and shape and they relate directly to your size and what you want to do with your kayak. The hull is the main factor for how your kayak will perform. Manoeuvrability and stability are decided by the hull shape and our designs have been tried and tested to have a good balance of these features. This means only a couple decisions are needed to choose a stable and comfortable kayak.
Chines are the lines that form the long shape of the hull and we offer two choices here, Multi/Soft or Single/Hard. Multi chines provide a rounder hull shape at the cost of a bit more weight and build complication. Hard chine kayaks have a more angular hull shape, are a little lighter and easier to build.
Don't confuse width with stability. How stable a kayak is depends more on the hull shape then the width. Our kayaks are shaped to have a nice balance of initial and secondary stability as well as sea worthiness and manoeuvrability. You should base the kayak width on your body size for a proper fit by adding between 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) to distance across your back from hip to hip. It's important to note that the designs aren't just scaled to different widths, each one is reworked for it's specific width. Our standard sizes range between 18 to 24 inches (46.5 to 61 cm) measured across the widest part of the deck but if you aren't standard size we can adjust one of our designs to fit.
The longer the kayak the faster it can potentially go through the water, but potential that can't be used just turns into extra weight you have to push around. A 14.5 foot kayak will easily maintain an average paddling speed and use less of your energy doing it then a 17 footer. My two main kayaks are 18.5' and 14.5', they are both great to paddle but there is no doubt I'm less tired after a day in the shorter one.
For touring a longer boat does have more internal space for camp gear but most of that space is in the pointy ends and doesn't make a substantial difference. If you need internal storage room it's more effective raise the decks. In the end it's your kayak and the most important aspect is that it fits you.
Rocker is the length wise curve of the keel from end to end. More rocker equals quicker and easier turning, less rocker equals better travelling in a straight line. Most of our kayaks are designed for straighter tracking with moderate rocker but still turn well when a edging or leaning is applied. Rocker is an inherent part of the design and not something we can adjust easily. If you want lots of rocker we can find a design that works for you and work from that.
The top part of the kayak where most of the aesthetics come into play. The decks won't effect paddling performance much but can make a difference in internal storage area, foot room and the ability to roll.
We offer two options for the front deck of your kayak. A single beam running from the cockpit to the bow giving a peaked deck and lots of water shedding ability or a double beam which gives a flatter deck providing more foot room and storage area. In both cases the deck height can be adjusted fit you and personal preferences.
You can choose from completely flat across the gunnels or raised as high as you like for more internal storage. The flat deck has the least amount of internal storage but works best for Lay Back Rolls. The raised deck gives more internal storage room and provides a higher backrest when resting but you can always strap dry bags on the outside of a flat deck when touring.
The hole you slide into and attach your spray skirt to. We provide plywood versions or a more traditional steam bent wood coaming. They both function the same, however the steam bent version takes much longer to make. We provide the coaming pre-made if you are taking a class or buying a kit. Our main design is egg shaped, ideally a couple inches narrower then the kayak for aesthetics and at a length that makes it easy to get yourself into.
We prefer a system of non stretching lines using toggles for tightening which look and work great. Adding beads to the lines helps keep them off the deck making it easier to slide your paddle under them from a distance. Our lines are plenty strong enough to lift the kayak or pull yourself onto it with. We use either very strong leather cords or for ultimate strength a rope called AmSteel. For toggles and beads we use bone (real or artificial) or various hard woods.
The shape at each end of the kayak and we typically use a squared off slightly angled shape. Big swoopy ends are more traditional but so is paddling in ice choked water where those shapes let you go up and over easily. Squaring off the ends keeps the water length and overall length closer to the same, eliminating unused weight and length. We can also make special order Baidarka styled ends if you prefer but they do add build complexity.
There are many approaches out there to cover and seal a kayak frame. We have settled on what we believe to be the best material and most durable coating. The skinning and coating is one of the only things we don't offer custom requests for. After all the work of building the frame we will only cover it with what we think to be the best choice both for a durable kayak and for your safety.
Ballistic Nylon is our fabric of choice. It comes in a few different weights and we have tried most of them but now we recommend the lightest most of the time. Once the Urethane is applied even the lightest fabric is as tough as you could want and the kayak will weigh less both from the thinner fabric and the smaller amount of coating needed.
Adding dye to the fabric isn't a good idea, it will prevent the Urethane from adhering properly and de-laminated spots will start to show up after a couple years, especially if exposed to the sun for long periods of time. The better option is add Rare Earth Pigment to the Urethane before applying it or painting on top of the coating after it has dried. Painting on top with a urethane based paint is a great way to add logos, designs, names etc. Leaving the natural white skin colour results in a yellowing over time which gives a very nice parchment or rawhide look to the kayak.
We exclusively use a two part Urethane coating from the Skin Boat Store. It is incredibly durable and with a little care will last many years. It takes a bit more time and effort to apply then just painting but we believe a couple hours spent now will pay off in a few extra years of use later. If you don't have time now to do it right when will you?

Andrews Academy's very own Literary Interpretations class, taught by Mrs. Sari Butler, will be producing the school's biennial play late this fall. Entitled, Words by Fanny Crosby, this play offers a very good historical account of the life and spiritual journey of the famous hymn writer and poetess. "It's definitely my desire to have the audience become part of Fanny's hymn-writing experiences; to feel the depth of her words and to experience how the Holy Spirit moved her – to be challenged to be moved in the very same way," expressed Butler. Because of the musical nature of this play, quite a number of Crosby's hymns will be performed throughout the production by way of piano, organ, and voice. With the coaching of local teacher Mrs. Carrie Van Denburgh to guide them, a number of the class students will be serving as musicians, along with their acting parts. Despite the presence of music, Mrs. Butler firmly reiterates that "this play is not a musical." In fact, music makes up less than one half of the entire production, intermission excluded.
With a cast and crew of only 10 students to match the 14 characters needed, the class is confident that their production of this play will be quite the success. Interestingly enough, Literary Interpretations is made up of female students mostly, with only one male student. Because of the amount of male roles in the script, Mr. Ben Shelley has taken it upon himself to act the parts of the 3 male characters alone. "I'm sure that I'll be able to memorize all the lines in plenty of time, so long as I spend time working on it. But it isn't just lines that I memorize: it's adapting myself to fit the personality of each separate character. God has given me a very deep love for acting, so I'm positive that I'll enjoy most all of it!" says Shelley.
The Andrews Academy School Play will be held during the evenings of Saturday and Sunday, November 23 and 24. With just over three months to prepare sets and memorize lines, the Literary Interpretations Class is pushing ahead full-throttle to ensure that their performance is as well-prepared as possible. In a short interview, Kayli Mattson gave her opinion of the play, "I'm glad that Mrs. Butler will be serving as our director. She seems to be a very musical person and it's always nice to have another female's perspective on things." Even though most acting roles have already been filled, Mrs. Butler welcomes any non-acting help, such as stage and wardrobe management, scene artists, etc. Both Mrs. Butler and her students hope to see all AA Students, including people from the community, at either of the weekend productions and are eager to assist their audience in reliving the life of Fanny J. Crosby. More details concerning the play are to be announced.

One of the things that I have seen in my practice with respects to chronic constipation, I've spoken about constipation before, but one thing we are starting to recognize is that many kids on the spectrum not only have problems and digestive issues which we've known for a while but the regulatory aspect with respects to the nervous system's input to help with that sensation to have a bowel movement is compromised. So you know the things like magnesium and vitamin C and probiotics and sometimes laxatives can help and they are necessary for chronic states of constipation. What often goes unrecognized in persistent constipation when kids are not responding to dietary intervention, fiber, these other supplements is the potential for an underlying worm infection.
I have actually used a remedy called Vermox, also known as Mebendazole. Mebendazole or Vermox is actually an anti-worm medication, it comes in a chewable tablet that's specifically used for pin worms. Typically one dose of 100 mg chewable tablet is appropriate for most pin worm infections. But sometimes we need to use it a little bit longer, particularly for things like round worms or other types of worm infections that are more persistent so I'll commonly, if I am going to dose Vermox we'll dose it instead of one time, one day, use 100 mg chewable tablet twice daily for 3 days. And this has worked quite well for some kids with chronic constipation and helping to relieve that constipation. If that happens then we know that a worm infection is very likely. And I say likely because it's difficult actually to find a worm on a stool test so you may have done a comprehensive digestive stool analysis and not found a worm and that is not uncommon.
What I've also done for certain cases of constipation where they are not resolved because of other remedies is use the Vermox for 3 days then take a 2 week break and repeat it again for another 3 days at 100 mg chewable tablet twice daily for 3 days. So a common prescription could just be Vermox, 100 mg chewable tablet, 1 twice daily for 3 days and then have an automatic refill that is refilled 2 weeks later and take it again. So this is something to consider, discuss with your doctor if your child continues to have chronic constipation and the other remedies or laxatives, etc. just aren't working.

Year 4 children from three Hemel Hempstead schools have achieved the Discover stage of the the Royal Opera House Bridge Arts Award.
The 90 children from Boxmoor and George Street Primary Schools and Chaulden Junior School received their certificates at the Old Town Hall last week, after taking part in a project at Dacorum Borough Council's Old Town Hall theatre.
The Arts Award is designed to motivate and celebrate young people's artistic achievements, and to inspire them to connect with and take part in the arts.
It is open to anyone aged seven to 25.
The project included a performance of Captain Flinn and the Pirate Dinosaurs, by Les Petits Theatre company at the Old Town Hall.
Back at their own schools, the children were encouraged to 'discover' arts in their school environment.
They also took part in dance workshops and created their own 'art boxes' to capture their discovery.
The children also enjoyed visits from a scenic designer with theatre and film work, a storyteller and a professional dancer.
Each class presented their 'discovery' journey to the rest of their school as well as invited parents and grandparents.
Arts team leader at the Old Town Hall, Sara Railson, said "Discover is only the first step in the Arts Award journey.
"There has been an overwhelmingly positive response by pupils, teachers and school governors to this project and we are actively looking at ways of further developing and strengthening the Old Town Hall's work with local schools."

From the very name, one can infer its significance. It is said that distribution of curd rice in this hot summer month is laudable. The significance of this month appears in the story of Bhageeratha. Shiva orders Bhageeratha thus:
"In Jyestha maasa, wake up early in the morning and having finished the daily rites, take a holy bath. Then pray to the Lord with the form of Trivikrama and distribute curd rice and water to brahmins. If you act thus for one month with devotion, thn Shri Hari shall be pleased and river Ganga, capable of washing away all our sins, shall descend to the Earth." Bhageeratha followed the orders, and the rest is history. It is to be noted that this month was instrumental in the descent of river Ganga. This description is available in the 'Bhavishya' puraana (भविष्य पुराण / ಭವಿಷ್ಯ ಪುರಾಣ).
ವಿಷ್ಣುರ್ವೈ ಸರ್ವದೇವಾನಾಂ ಜ್ಯೇಷ್ಠ ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠಃ ಪ್ರಜಾಪತಿಃ |
ತಥಾಯಂ ಸರ್ವಮಾಸಾನಾಂ ಜ್ಯೇಷ್ಠ ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠ ತಮಸ್ಮೃತಃ ||
विष्णुर्वै सर्ववेदानां ज्येष्ठः श्रेष्ठः प्रजापतिः ।
तथायं सर्वआसानां ज्येष्ठः श्रेष्ठः तमस्मृतः ॥
Meaning :- Just like Vishnu is the supreme among all Gods, so is the month of Jyestha among all other months.

Sherwood Washburn
Sherwood Washburn, Pioneer in Primate Studies, Dies at 88 By WOLFGANG SAXON (New York Times, April 19, 2000) Dr. Sherwood Larned Washburn, an anthropologist and pioneering primatologist who linked the evolution of human behavior traits to the actions of apes and monkeys, died on Sunday at a hospital near his home in Berkeley, Calif. He was 88. Washburn was an emeritus professor of anthropology at the University of California at Berkeley, where he taught and worked from 1958 to 1978. He helped the university become a leader in primatology during his tenure with his study of baboon colonies in Kenya. His work also took him to remote areas of Sri Lanka, Thailand, Borneo and South Africa, where he made friends with the famous fossil-hunting Leakey family. On campus, Washburn's lectures inspired standing ovations from his students. In his research, Washburn took a holistic approach, proceeding from anatomy to function and behavior. In the classroom and on the printed page, he explained how bones, joints and muscles were related to movement and social behavior in humans and other primates. He wrote many articles, and his books included "Human Evolution: Biosocial Perspectives" and "Ape Into Human: A Study of Human Evolution." Sherwood Washburn, known as Sherry, was born in Cambridge, Mass. He graduated from Groton School in 1931 and, summa cum laude, from Harvard in 1935. He received his doctorate in anthropology from Harvard in 1940. He started his academic career as an instructor at Columbia University in 1939 and soon after became an assistant professor of anatomy. From 1947 until his appointment at Berkeley he was based at the University of Chicago. At Berkeley he was given the rare title of university professor in 1975. He won nearly every medal and prize given in his field, including the Wenner-Gren Foundation's Viking Medal in 1960, the Huxley Medal in 1967 and the Distinguished Service Award of the American Anthropological Association in 1983. The Fourth International Congress of Primatology in 1972 was dedicated to him. "Sherry Washburn was one of the great pioneers of the modern life sciences," said Dr. David A. Hamburg, president emeritus of the Carnegie Foundation. "He brought together an unprecedented variety of disciplines to provide insight into the evolutionary origins of human anatomy and behavior. He opened up the study of primate behavior in natural habitats." Washburn is survived by two sons, Sherwood, of Brooklyn, N.Y., and Stan, of Berkeley; a brother, Dr. Bradford Washburn, of Lexington, Mass.; and six grandchildren. His wife, Henrietta Pease Washburn, died in 1985 after 47 years of marriage.

White paper outlines travel trends for 2010
A white paper outlining key trends in the travel industry for 2010 and beyond, prepared by RDO member, Flagship Consulting, provides a useful insight for timeshare companies into the preferences of British travellers.
The research and publication of the Travel Trends 2010 white paper is part of the creation of content for RDO's online campaign, which has also seen the launch of RDO Twitter feeds and the Chief Executive's blog on RDO's website.
According to the white paper, the trend of 'staycations' – a term coined last year to refer to domestic travel – will continue this year, as various factors such as the economic crisis, the weak pound or the much improved domestic tourism offering tempts people to stay closer to home for their holidays.
Environmental concerns, higher air fares, and fear of major air travel disruptions like that caused by the Icelandic volcano, are prompting more and more people to abandon air travel and choose destinations easily accessible by train or by car, with countries such as France, Germany, Spain or Portugal seen as 'domestic' locations.
The strength of the euro is expected to continue to favour destinations such as Turkey or Egypt, although destinations in the eurozone such as Spain continue to be popular as customers seek good value for money. Other destinations on the up include South Africa, host of this year's World Cup.
The paper concludes that while family holidays will continue to be a firm fixture in the calendar, the way people travel is likely to change over the next decade due to consumer demand, increasing travel costs, global security issues and environmental and ethical concerns.
A full copy of the Travel Trends 2010 white paper is available on www.rdo.org.

text: Hey all! First off, I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. I couldn't think of one particular forum to place it in so I defaulted to "Miscellaneous." ... and away we go... I was recording some pre-production tracks tonight preparing for recording a full-length album with my band. I was running my Stingray 5 directly to an Avalon preamp and then into Pro Tools and I was able to get a pretty decent tone, but I couldn't get rid of the "natural brightness" of my bass. Every time I slide or move from fret to fret I get this nasty squeaking noise. If that weren't bad enough I keep getting a lot of that wonderful "clicking" noise when I'm playing. I'm not slapping, nor am I playing that hard. I'm in standard 5 string tuning and I just can't seem to get rid of all the extra noise. I think it may just be how the bass is, in which case it may be time for a change. I'm seriously beginning to consider a Lakland Skyline JO5 (if I could find a way to afford it.) I don't know if this would be an upgrade from my SR5 or not, but I've been wanting a Jazz bass for a while and I've heard Lakland Skylines are good 5-stringers for a decent price. So more or less, this post is just a rant as I needed to vent a little. If anyone has any ideas for recording and getting rid of the clicks and clanks please let me know. The main thing that bugs me is every time I listen to most other bands' recordings that fretting noise isn't there. I know a lot can be done in the mixing process, but listening to my bass recorded is driving me insane... almost "chuck my bass into a wall" insane. Hopefully it is in fact the bass and not just me... Well, I must say I feel a little better getting this off my chest and if anyone has any advice or opinions or has gone through the same kind of thing feel free to say so. Thanks and keep rocking! --Justin
