New UK Government Publications on an Integral Approach to Climate Change
The UK Government (Environmental Ministry) just published a significant report regarding societal and industrial adaptation to climate change. It was written by David Ballard (who has published in the Journal of Integral Theory and Practice) and his team. This is a pretty significant application of AQAL integral theory (using quadrants, levels, and lines) and has undergone peer review process to be formally published by the UK government. We thought you'd appreciate seeing this!
Image by David Titterington [+view gallery]
Dear friends,
I hope that this email finds you all well. Two major reports on organisational and industry-wide responses to climate adaptation, written by Alexander Ballard Ltd (of which I am a Director), were published by Defra (the UK's environment ministry) on 1st July.
The first report is the first assessment of the UK's 'Adaptive Capacity' to respond to the impacts of climate change. This was prepared as part of the UK's first Climate Change Risk Assessment, on which I was a member of the Steering Committee. The report uses a radically new methodology: previously, adaptive capacity has been assessed by measuring population-level indicators (e.g. literacy) since some of these correlate well with the capacity to recover from disasters. However, these do not necessarily correlate at all with the capacity to adapt to climate impacts, many of which may lie in the future and be accompanied by major uncertainties. It is necessary for decision-makers to prepare for these impacts, however, since many major decisions last for many decades and need to take account of a future that may be very different.
The report looks at a selection of climate risks from 8 industries in depth. It shows that there are considerable challenges in responding to many risks, this being a function both of the 'structural capacity' of the industry (i.e. of structural barriers to change), also of its 'organisational capacity'. In other words, it will not be as easy to adapt to climate change as some might assume. The report is also intended to show where interventions might be helpful.
We have successfully used this approach to assess capacity and to recommend places for possible intervention in a number of Asian and African industries since first developing it in the CCRA.
The research was undertaken roughly two years ago. Given the novelty of the methodology, and quite properly, Defra submitted the report to peer review, which it comfortably passed, and we are delighted now to see it published after responding to reviewers' suggestions. Our report has already been used as a major source for the Economics of Climate Resilience project published earlier this year; both the ECR and our own reports have been produced to support development of the UK Government's National Adaptation Plan, which is also due for publication in July 2013.
People at the 2011 Venwoude event may remember that this research was being completed at that stage – and that early results were being shared and discussed. The PACT approach that underpins this report of course owes a great deal to Ken Wilber and to Susanne Cook-Greuter insights, etc. Climate responses – on both mitigation and adaptation – require extremely high organisational – indeed social – capacity, which is not normally available. Of course the report was written primarily for a blue/ orange audience, often with very positivistic ideas as to what counts for an acceptable epistemology and it could sometimes be frustrating – much had to be left on the floor of the editing room. I could not restrain myself altogether, however, and was rather surprised that so much of the writing on biodiversity managed to get through to publication. This section actually manages to quote Gregory Bateson!
Copies of the Adaptive Capacity report may be downloaded below.
The second report investigates barriers and enablers to increasing capacity. It follows on from the Adaptive Capacity report. This report was part of a wider and quite ambitious programme that had the purpose of helping those charged with implementing the UK's first National Adaptation Plan. Our own research looks at barriers to capacity raising for adaptation, also at how capacity might practically be increased.
It is probably the largest piece of work yet undertaken of this type and it has been very well received. The Defra client said that the overall programme 'has produced what I think is a quite unique and new picture of the views of businesses and the public'.
Copies of the research into barriers and enablers to increasing adaptive capacity may also be downloaded below.
The research is the first, we think, that looks explicitly at the process of capacity development, clearly linked to Ken Wilber and other hierarchical theorists. The results show a very clear difference between lowest and highest levels of capacity. The results are actually quite sobering. It should be noted that very few high capacity organisations indeed could be recruited from the quantitative exercise – only one out of around 1950 met the (not very challenging) criteria. We conducted primary research here, only comparing and contrasting with the PACT framework after completing the work. In practice we were unable to differentiate between the highest levels of capacity in PACT terms, the numbers at the higher levels being so small.
You might also be interested in the use of Ken Wilber's AQAL Framework for categorising barriers. This worked reasonably well, though the inevitable limitations of the interviewing approach meant that – I think – there was almost certainly considerably more that could have been discovered in the left hand quadrants. Of course this follows on from 'Using the AQAL framework to accelerate responses to climate change', an article I wrote with input from colleagues Peter Reason and Gill Coleman which applies the AQAL framework for climate mitigation purposes and which was published in the Journal of Integral Theory and Practice following review by Ken Wilber. This was an output of the 'Insider Voices' project undertaken with University of Bath colleagues a few years ago – copies of the article may also be downloaded below. It was distributed and discussed at Venwoude.
With very best wishes,

Assessment of the UK's Adaptive Capacity for Responding to the Impacts of Climate Change
David Ballard, Doogie Black and Kate Lonsdale
This report was produced for Defra, the UK's Environment Ministry. It looks at the capacity of industrial sectors in the UK to respond to information about current and potential future climate impacts. Innovative in approach, it was produced as part of the UK's first Climate Change Risk Assessment, on which ABL's David Ballard was a member of the Steering Committee. It was a major input to the Economics of Climate Resilience Project, which was also published in 2013.
PREPARE – Barriers and Enablers to Organisational and Sectoral Adaptive Capacity: Qualitative Study
David Ballard, Carole Bond, Nick Pyatt et al.
This report was commissioned by Defra, the UK's Environment Ministry, to explore some of the implications of the Adaptive Capacity report (see above) in more detail. The report covers insights from 73 in-depth qualitative interviews carried out with decision taking and with 'framework organisations' (who set the context within which other organisations act) in the UK. These show how barriers change as capacity to adapt increases and discusses how capacity might be raised most effectively. The report also benefits from almost 2000 quantitative interviews carried out by our project partners, Ipsos MORI.
Using the AQAL Framework to Accelerate Responses to Climate Change
David Ballard, Peter Reason, Gill Coleman
This article was published in the Journal of Integral Theory and Practice in March 2010 and summarises some of the main insights from the 'Insider Voices' project (see below). The article benefited from review by and detailed discussion with Ken Wilber himself, who described it not only as a major contribution to the field of climate change, but also to Integral Theory itself.

As climate change is one instance of a class of problems which are global and trans-national, and the world is at multiple levels of development on the spiral, climate change seems to be a good way to introduce policy makers to the study of interior development — even if, as the science moves on, climate change came to be better understood as a natural cycle.
Mon, 2013-09-30 07:04
It just seems rather ironic that carbon emissions were picked as the big global issue, when we've now had several decades of evidence that carbon is not a problem -- see the latest IPCC report footnote that they can no longer come to any agreement over a best estimate of climate sensitivity.
I completely understand that they have to stay on message, but what an unfortunate piece of bad luck to back the wrong horse! And it was only 50/50 all along, as the temps could have just as easily gone up in a cylce, rather than be stalling at the peak of a cycle. Bah!
Anyway the problems of building a safer and more just world for everyone, run much deeper than simply getting everyone to follow the climate change narrative. How does one say, sign up theocratic Iran to a global governance? How do these big geopolitical things work? How do you get involved at a grass roots level with North Korea? How do you hande the tensions between modernity and ancient tribal codes in Egypt?
But yeah, climate change... whatever.

After taking an MBA from London Business School, David Ballard worked in a series of increasingly senior mainstream roles in business, from which he gained wide experience of business processes and strategy. In his late 30s, in 1991, he made a significant change of direction and began work on sustainability issues with a particular focus on climate change. Recognising the importance of significant transformations in institutions and society, he studied Buddhism and psychotherapy and worked on organisational change for some years before returning to work on environmental sustainability in the late 1990s. Since then he has led many leading edge projects on responses to climate change and is recognised as a leading thinker and change agent in the field.

Plan your Yellowstone National Park vacation. Reservations, Extensive Information, Maps, Top Attractions, Old Faithful Webcam, Forums and much more. Since 1997.
Yellowstone National Park is located in the northwest corner of Wyoming, and includes small areas of Montana and Idaho as well. In addition to its superb Rocky Mountain scenery, the park is one of the world's principal wildlife preserves. It's also the site of America's greatest concentration of geysers and hot springs, which form a visible and spectacular link with the primeval forces of the Earth's creation.
Yellowstone is also the oldest national park in the country. In fact, the original idea of setting aside natural resources like Yellowstone began here when some of the territory's first explorers began a unique campaign to preserve the beauty of these lands for generations to follow. Here more than two million acres of a high mountain-ringed plateau have been set aside for permanent protection as a natural preserve. It's been called America's finest and most diverse vacationland.
Yellowstone National Park's Top Ten things to see:
We are sometimes asked, "What are the things I must see when I visit Yellowstone?"

The ink was all but dry on an agreement that would have brought to an end an ongoing civil rights suit brought by the U.S. Justice Department against the Philadelphia schools.
But an eleventh-hour snag in a settlement aimed at protecting the religious right of Muslim employees to wear long beards now threatens to derail the deal.
"The School District refused to sign the agreement if it were made public," the Justice Department wrote in a recent court motion. "There was no suggestion . . . that any settlement agreement, reached between two public entities, would be anything other than a public document."

St. Jude Medical (NYSE: STJ ) announced on Friday that it has enrolled the first patient in its trial to judge the effectiveness of its Amplatzer Cardiac Plug in preventing stroke in patients suffering from atrial fibrillation. The trial, dubbed the ACP Trial, will measure both efficacy and safety of the device, while enrolling between 400 and 3,000 patients in the U.S. and Canada.
The American Heart Association estimates 2.7 million Americans suffer from atrial fibrillation, making the market a potentially lucrative one for St. Jude. The World Health Organization further projects around a third of all atrial fibrillation patients will suffer a stroke in their lifetimes if not treated.
The Amplatzer Cardiac Plug first won CE Mark approval in 2008, and St. Jude is hoping successful data from the ACP Trial can contribute to an FDA approval, as well.
St. Jude's President of Medical Cardiovascular and Ablation Technologies Division, Frank J Callaghan, explained the opportunity provided by the trial, saying:
The AMPLATZER Cardiac Plug has shown great promise in international markets and we look forward to establishing the evidence required to make it available in the U.S.... This trial will help us understand the long-term benefits of LAA occlusion therapy for lowering the risk of stroke in atrial fibrillation patients and potentially improve their quality of life.
St. Jude shares rose 1.3% on Friday with the announcement.

If you are visiting in a community like Barrie for a while, get hold of a local newspaper and check out for special dinners - Strawberry Suppers, Fowl Suppers (turkey/chicken - not bad food!), or Robby Burn's Dinners.
The food is home cooked by the members of the church, or by the group organising the meal, and is normally delicious. The desserts are usually the thing that everyone is waiting for be it strawberry shortcake at a "Strawberry Supper", or lemon meringue (my favourite). The price is usually right too, and it goes back into the community or church.
The pictures I'm showing is from the January Robby Burns Night at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Barrie. The haggis was made by the minister, Rick Horst, a Dutchman who does a great Scottish accent, and who addressed the haggis in the traditional manner. There was talent afterward - a sing song of old Scottish songs, and great Burns' poems recited.

You want to see something "typically Canadian"? Come to Heritage Park and take a look at the throngs of geese and loons. The Canada goose is the most widely identified Canadian bird, partly because it migrates across the US during the winter. The loon, on the other hand, is famous because of its place on the Loonie, the Canadian one dollar coin.

Nothing Beats Immunoassays for Sensitivity, Specificity,...
Process Development Jobs Still the Most...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
It's All About Validation
Two drug developers yesterday began taxiing for takeoff on the proverbial runway for initial public offerings by filing plans to sell their first stock, helping ring out 2013 with a thunderous comeback for the industry on Wall Street after years of hype about revival.
Eleven Biotherapeutics, a clinical-stage biotech focused on engineering proteins into therapeutics for eye diseases, is looking to raise up to $69 million, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Separately, Argos Therapeutics, a developer of immunotherapies for cancer and infectious and autoimmune diseases, told the SEC that it plans to raise up to $60 million through a revived IPO. The company's latest filing followed up on a confidential IPO filing the company made on November 12—something made permissible for companies with annual revenue of less than $1 billion through the Jumpstarting Our Businesses (JOBS) Act enacted last year.
Eleven Bio and Argos became the 36th and 37th biopharma companies on the IPO runway with pending or postponed plans, according to data by Burrill and Co. Neither company disclosed exactly how many shares it plans to sell, the offering price of those shares, or the percentage stake of ownership that investors will hold upon completion of the IPO—details that companies typically furnish closer to when their offerings reach the market.
In its Form S-1 registration statement, Eleven Bio said it would use its IPO proceeds to fund a Phase III program for its lead product candidate, EBI-005, planned for 2014. The program would consist of two pivotal clinical trials—one evaluating the safety and efficacy of EBI-005 for moderate to severe dry eye disease, the other assessing the safety of treatment with EBI-005 for one year.
If the program is successful, Eleven Bio stated, it plans to submit a Biologics License Application to the FDA, seeking approval of EBI-005 for dry eye disease before the end of 2016. Eleven Bio also plans to launch a Phase II trial to evaluate EBI-005 in patients with allergic conjunctivitis in 2014.
EBI-005 is designed to treat elevated levels of the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1) to fight inflammation and pain associated with dry eye disease, as well as redness and itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis. EBI-005 was developed through Eleven Bio's AMP-Rx protein engineering platform to design and generate drug candidates that target cytokines.
Eleven Bio plans to trade its shares on NASDAQ under the symbol EBIO starting with the IPO, whose underwriters include Citigroup, Cowen & Co., and Leerink Swann.
Argos will use its IPO proceeds in developing its lead product candidate AGS-003 for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and other cancers. The company is enrolling patients in a Phase III trial of AGS-003 in combination with sunitinib (Sutent) for mRCC under a special protocol assessment with the FDA. The trial's primary endpoint is overall survival.
AGS-003 showed promising results in a Phase II study where, in combination with sunitinib in mRCC patients, median overall survival was 30.2 months—compared with 14.7 months in 1,189 mRCC patients with similar risk factors treated with sunitinib or other targeted therapies, according to data from the International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium, or the Consortium.
AGS-003 is among candidates developed through Argos' Arcelis technology platform, designed to generate fully personalized immunotherapies by using biological components from a patient's own cancer cells or virus. The immunotherapies use dendritic cells to activate an immune response specific to the patient's own disease.
Also under development by Argos through Arcelis is AGS-004 for HIV. The company is conducting a phase IIb trial of AGS-004 that is being funded entirely by the NIH, under a $39.3 million contract.
Argos plans to trade under the symbol ARGS on NASDAQ. The company's filing is its second proposed IPO in two years. The first was a $78.8 million initial offering filed in 2011, then withdrawn last year, with the company citing market conditions.
Underwriters for the revived filing include Piper Jaffray, Stifel Needham & Co., and JMP Securities. Only Needham carried over from the initial filing, which also listed as underwriters Canaccord Genuity, Lazard Capital markets, and BMO Capital Markets.
Argos is one of 15 companies to have filed and withdrawn IPO plans since 2010, according to Burrill, which lists a total 59 therapeutic, diagnostic, and industrial/agricultural biopharmas as having gone public this year as of December 30. Those companies raised more than a combined $6.359 billion, one-third of which came from the year's single largest IPO, Zoetis, Pfizer's animal-care spinout, with more than $2.2 billion raised.

Erik Morales: Beating Marcos Maidana is Not Impossible
By Jhonny Gonzalez
Many believe former champion Erik Morales (51-6, 35KOs) is up against an impossible task when he returns to the ring on April 9 against hard punching junior welterweight Marcos Maidana (29-2, 27KOs) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Morales is a 4-1 betting underdog and the number could get higher. Morales understands his position. He says the comments of concern are fueling his motivation to win. Morales wants to prove everyone wrong, as he did in the first fight with Manny Pacquiao in 2005.
"As with Pacquiao, it was a tough fight, but not impossible. I accepted the fight with Maiden because I think I can beat him. He's stronger and younger than me, but I'm sure I can beat him. I'll win. Maidaina is a good fighter, he is very strong, young, but he's smaller than me. I do not mind gambling, even if it's not in my favor," Morales told Sal Rodriguez.
Morales is looking at their gap in experience as a big advantage in the fight.
"I have the experience, a lot more than him. I've had wars, and this is not going to be easy for him. This will be a contest of strength but also of intelligence and that's where I have the advantage."
[QUOTE=vxrandall;10152627]i dont have a lot of points and i've never bet against anyone on here before but i just have a funny feeling about this one. i dont think morales is as nuts as most people think he is. i…Comment by llamas1 on 02-25-2011
Maidana is a tough fight for anybody. Hes big strong, hits like mule kicks and he can take a punch. Morales is 34 years old, had the fight beat out of him by Pac, has only had some tuneup fights…Comment by [email protected] on 02-25-2011
maidana was lucky to beat the count with khan in the very first round... i don't think he can survive with el terrible...yes, as i've said, a shot morales can beat maidana...Comment by Trenchant on 02-24-2011
He has a chance "Morales", he has a chance. If he is 100% focused and 100% in shape, maybe he can do this. I know Morales sees something in Maidana that he can exploit. ****, he dropped Diaz, he came…Comment by Sweet Jesus on 02-24-2011
[quote=ricky1978;10154218]it is not impossible to beat him, just that Morales wont be the guy to beat him. The last time he got in the ring with a hard puncher got KOed in the early rounds....Pacquiao, anyone??[/quote] Compare Pac and Maidana…Post a Comment - View More User Comments (24)

"Better Days" and Chief Grape. Picture taken in Sicily. Meet with Jean-Marc in DC & VA this coming March 10th-11th-12th or during his 2012 US wine tour
se reposer (reuh-poh-zay) verb
Verb conjugation: je me repose, tu te reposes, il/elle se repose, nous nous reposons, vous vous reposez, ils/elles se reposent (past particile = reposé)
A Day in a French Life... by Kristin Espinasse
The Flu and The Blues
"Repose-toi bien, Maman. Je te vois à midi." That was my son, Max, who stole past my bed, on his way to swipe a pair of his father's socks. I am so far behind on laundry....
Lying here with la grippe, I wonder how much farther behind I'll fall... if I stay in bed another day? In my mind's eye, I see papers stacked high on a desk, emails filling an inbox, dishes that need putting away--and a couple of teenage girls who might like a break from pasta and canned sauce. (Jackie's best friend is here for the week. Every time it is Jackie's turn to stay at her girlfriend's, she returns home to tell me what a magnifique cook the mother is. Every time the friend stays here, I roll up my sleeves in determination. Usually it is skill that foils my plan: this time, au moins, I can blame it on the flu.)
Chief Grape is resting beside me; he is not feeling much better than I. He had the flu last week. This week it is something else. Trop de travail.
Ambition, drive, determination... Do we not sometimes chase after the wind?
Neither of us feels comfortable about being in bed on a work day and, though we lie here silently, I can almost hear that unspoken fear that tortures each of our minds: What if I never get up again?
But rest is needed, encouragement too. I look over at my tortured husband, and borrow my son's caring words: Repose-toi bien, cheri.
Thank you for so many excellent tips on how to be a better listener (previous post); this time would you mind sharing your best tips for feeling better? Advice for easing the flu--or the blues--is appreciated. Click here to leave a message in the comments box.
Note: I am sorry and feel terrible about not being able to respond to every email and inquiry. I appreciate and read each and every note you send; it is a pleasure to read about you and, while reading, I am sending best wishes your way.
French Vocabulary
Repose-toi bien, Maman. Je te vois à midi = rest up, Mom. See you at noon.
la grippe = flu
magnifique = magnificent
au moins = at least
repose-toi bien, cheri = rest well, dear

Susie Essman, Richard Lewis are a hit and a miss
In the eyes of any talent booker, Richard Lewis and Susie Essman would seem like a totally compatible pairing for a comedy bill. Both standups regularly appear on Larry David's HBO hit comedy "Curb Your Enthusiasm." They're the same generation (Lewis is 65, Essman 57), and their takes on their Jewish backgrounds, aging and sexuality aren't too dissimilar.
And so Lewis and Essman were brought in as co-headliners for the second annual Laugh It Up Milwaukee benefit Saturday, presented by the Bayshore Community Foundation and hosted at the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center in Whitefish Bay. »Read Full Article(6)

Bastille Days builds upon existing French tradition
Thirty-two years ago, the East Town Association wanted Cathedral Square residents and businesses to feel the tender love and care that only a free festival could provide.
The idea birthed Bastille Days, a free, four-day celebration to commemorate French National Day — when the "storming of the bastille" started the French Revolution to overthrow Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette's absolute monarchy in 1789. »Read Full Article(7)

Art City Asks: Curator and artist Ana Hansa-Ogren
Ana Hansa-Ogren moved to Milwaukee two years ago, with sculptor and designer Nadeem Mesbah, and took to remodeling the top floor of a Catholic school in Bay View. The space at St. Augustine's, once home to 7th and 8th graders, with its Terrazzo floors, tiled walls and large windows has been transormed into a studio and home. Soon, the pair will begin hosting one-person exhibitions and dialogues about art featuring national and regional artists.
In the meantime, Hansa-Ogren, an artist and curator, has a solo exhibition called "How To Find a New Land," which opens Saturday at No Bones Projects, 133 Pittsburgh, Suite 407. No Bones is a project space established last year by Billy Dimmit that places an emphasis on experimentation, self exploration and personal experience.

Browser Choice Screen: Update Starts in March
Between the middle of March and the end of May 2010, Microsoft will be providing a browser choice update to users of XP onwards. The update will allow alternative browser installation.
According to a Microsoft press release, Windows users from XP and upwards with Internet Explorer installed as default browser will receive a software update via a browser choice screen. This will enable them to easily define and install an alternative web browser as standard. According to the press release the move will begin with a short test period and should be completed by middle May. The update is said to deactivate but not uninstall Internet Explorer. In Windows 7, IE will automatically be removed from the taskbar but can be recalled as a quick-start button via the program menu.
In his blog posting, Microsoft's Vice President and Deputy General Counsel, Dave Heiner, explains the browser choice screen in detail. Tests by Windows manufacturers will take place in France, Belgium and the United Kingdom before being rolled out in Germany and other European countries the middle of March. Software for the screen will reach computers in the form of an automatic update. For Windows users whose settings ask them to first confirm the download, the update is optional. The browser installation software starts with the first log in to IE after the update, then according to users wishes: after the preview screenshots (see gallery) a relevant link will appear on the Windows desktop.
The update is a result of a
resolution between Microsoft and the European Union, arrived at in December 2009. The simplified installation of alternative browsers is valid only in Europe. A dozen browsers are available including Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome. The software presents the browsers in random order, which according to Dave Heiner, is part of the EU agreement.

In this title there has been a lot of talk of vector masks and in this movie I am going to talk about exactly what a vector mask is, how to create one, how to delete one, how to disable and enable one, and how to copy one. So firstly creating a vector mask, currently you maybe hadn't noticed that I have a gray outline around my kettle. That is a pen path. This pen path has been saved on the Paths panel. It's called which Path 1. I am going to first of all deactivate it by clicking beneath. That makes the gray outline go away.
This pen path was created by drawing around the edge of this object. Now you can see that as I am drawing this, I am getting a solid shape. That is because I have the wrong type of behavior selected. So in a situation like this, press your Delete key twice and you will be asked, what you want to do? You want to clear the vector mas. Yes you do, okay. So then you reset to the Pen tool behavior and then you can draw your pen path. And I realize I am not going close to the edge and I am just sort of illustrating roughly how you would do this.
While it's in progress it will be a work path. To make a work path into a saved path, you literally just double-click on it and you give it a name. I don't need that one, so I am going to throw that one away. Now it's not necessary to save your path in order to use it as a vector mask. But you might do so, because perhaps you are sure yet that you want a vector mask. The difference between a path and a vector mask is that the path is just potential. It's there to be called on any time when you need it.
The vector mask applies to the specific layer. Having drawn my path, rather than saving it as a path I could have made it into a vector mask, or if I'm being especially cautious or I'm not yet sure where I'm going with this illustration, I could save the path and then later on turn it into a vector mask and that's what I am going to do now. So the path is active and I could make it into a vector mask by coming to the Layer menu and choosing Vector Mask > Current Path and then that will reveal the background layer.
I am going to undo that. And instead of making my vector mask that way, I'm going to do it this way, because I think this way is slightly easier. With an active path all you need to do is hold down the Command key or the Ctrl key click on what's now the Add vector mask, usually the Add layer mask icon. But it becomes Add vector mask when you hold down Command or Ctrl. So there we have it, the vector mask. The vector mask is like its companion, the layer mask, continuously editable and nondestructive.
So what do I mean by that? By nondestructive I mean that if we don't like it we can just throw it away and we are back to where we began. So we haven't actually deleted any of that background; we are just masking it. I am going to undo that. By continuously editable I means that if we go and get our Direct Selection tool, the white arrow, and we come and click on the path edge, we see the anchor points and then I can adjust those anchor points. And it's quite common to want to do this.
Because when you actually see the mask in the context of its new background you might realize that it wasn't as accurate as you as you originally thought it was and you can use this technique to come in and just finesse the edge of that mask. Should we want to temporarily disable the mask, we could hold down the Shift key and click on it. We get the big red X appear there. Hold down the Shift key and click on it again and that brings it back. The essential difference between a vector mask and a layer mask is that the vector mask is made from pen paths and is consequently smooth and sharp on its edges.
Except when it's not. Because you can actually feather the edge but that's another story and we will be dealing with that in a separate movie. But typically the quality of a vector is its crispness and its scalability. A layer mask on the other hand can be softened. It can transition from 100% Opacity to 0% Opacity and that softness can vary around the edges of your layer. While it's possible to feather a vector mask, the feather is going to be the same degree of feather all around. In this case, the kettle, we can't have one side softer and one side harder.
But before we get on to the feathering aspects of vector masks, essentially what makes this object, this kettle, a good candidate for a vector mask versus a layer mask is the fact that it is made up of very graceful, very smooth, and because it's photographed very crisply and it's all in focus, very crisp shapes. So it really blends itself to the quality of vectors as opposed to a layer mask. Which is not to say that we can't also have a layer mask with it.
And that's another story and I will be dealing with that in a separate movie. But we've seen how to create the vector mask. We've seen how to disable the vector mask, how to edit the vector mask. What if we wanted to copy the vector mask? Well, the results that we get likely to be little bit odd, but sometimes it could be a happy accident. I am going to turn off the current background layer and let's say that I want to select that vector mask and I am now going to drag it onto this layer of branches down at the bottom.
If I want to copy it, well if I want to move it first of all, I just drag it and then what we are seeing now is the top layer without its vector mask. If I turn that off, we see the bottom layer with the vector mask applied. If I want to copy the vector mask you do exactly the same thing. But as you probably guessed you also hold down the Option or the Alt key as you do so. So I have that same vector mask applied to both. So those are the basics of working with a vector mask, creating it, using your Pen tool or any combination off your Shape tools: editing it, remember it's continuously editable, disabling it, moving it and copying it.
- Converting shapes to paths and paths to shapes
- Moving, deleting, copying, and rasterizing shape layers
- Drawing pen paths
- Inverting a path
- Combining shapes
- Adding strokes to shape layers
- Creating shape layers from type
- Creating custom shapes from Illustrator symbols
- Building a photo grid
- Combining vector masks and layer masks
- Converting a shape layer to a selection, vector mask, or layer mask
- Working with paths and clipping paths

Don't fret if you find yourself allergic to your rabbit. A little preemptive care goes a long way in keeping rabbit allergies at bay.
Tip 1: Hay is an essential part of a rabbit's diet, but it doesn't mean you have to forego your own well-being if you're allergic to it. Instead of spreading hay around your rabbit's area, keep it contained to a single spot, store it in air-tight containers and wear gloves to avoid direct contact with it.
Tip 2: Keep the rabbit cage on a rug or other easy-to-clean surface, such as a plastic chair mat (available at office supply stores) or a cut piece of linoleum.
Tip 3: Prevent your (and your rabbit's) allergies from acting up — keep dust and dander to a minimum by using a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate arresting) air purifier and vacuum.

SINSHEIM, Germany (AP) -Hoffenheim midfielder Boris Vukcevic has been moved from Heidelberg University Hospital to a rehabilitation clinic as the player's condition continues to improve following his serious car accident.
Hoffenheim manager Andreas Mueller says "we remain very confident in Boris' recovery. But the situation is still very tense so we want to continue dealing with it respectfully and sensitively, especially for Boris and his family."
The 22-year-old Vukcevic remains in a coma induced after operations on his head and brain following the accident on Sept. 28, when his car collided head-on with a truck.
Vukcevic is a diabetic and police said he had a sudden drop in blood sugar level when he lost control of the car on the road between Heidelberg and Hoffenheim, a suburb of Sinsheim.

Pleasanton, CA - "licensed massage therapists" search results
About Licensed Massage Therapists
Licensed Massage Therapists make a lot of money, even in this current economic depression. With the high level of stress of everyday living, most people are looking for a way to relax and they dont mind shelling out the money to do so. Massagers can make a lot of money and they also get to travel if they work for companies such as cruise ships. They also dont just make people relax, but they are also trained to relieve pain and help people heal from injuries. They are also known as wellness professionals. To become a local Licensed Massage Therapists, the therapist will also need be patient. They should also be good at making people feel comfortable and they should be okay with being close to others in a small and intimate place. It is important to also pick a certain sub-category that falls under being a LMT. That would include Swedish massage and Reiki and even animal massage. There are quite a few others and they can all be found with a quick online search. Specializing in one type of massage can narrow down your selection of clients and make it easier to target potential customers. To work in this profession, the licensing is quite different depending on the state. Each state has their own requirements for getting licensed, so it is a good idea to check with your states licensing board.

More on Licensed Massage Therapists
The next step would be to get into a training program. There are a ton of Swedish massage schools and some are even offered online. Whatever local Licensed Massage Therapists school you decide to go, just make sure that it is regionally accredited. You will need to have at least 500-600 hours of training before getting licensed. Some students can complete the program a lot faster if they double up on their classes. These classes usually include mock sessions where the student will practice massages on other students. Some students (depending on the program) will graduate with a degree or a certificate. While all states do not require Licensed Massage Therapists to become certified, it is a good idea as it can land you more jobs. Because the competition is so fierce, being certified can help you land jobs in various fields. Each accredited school should be able to provide their students with a list of requirements needed for getting certified in your particular state. Some exams will be offered by the Federation of Massage State Boards. The reason this job is so lucrative is because you can start your own business easily. Massage therapists can charge a lot of money, no matter if they are new in the business or a seasoned professional. Most massagers charge around $15 dollars per hour (if they work for a company or agency). For your own business, you can triple that rate to at least $50 dollars per hour. If you are not comfortable working for yourself, then there is a lot of different salaried jobs available. The massage school you attend should have a plethora of information on the subject.

It sure has been awhile since I last checked out my blog on 1Up. So much has changed since my last one. Gears 2 has come and gone. Halo Wars has come and gone, Street Fighter 4, Resident Evill 5, and some other great games as well. Right now I am currently looking forward to this holiday season. We have a TON of games coming out that have the potential to be amazing. I would have to say my top 3 would have to be Halo ODST, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, and I know I am keeping my fingers crossed with this one Starcraft 2. My birthday recently passed although I did not pick up any games I bought the special edition of Watchmen on DVD, amazing movie! Also just checked out the game, I have not played it yet but from what I hear it isn't too great so I might not even bother. I managed to get my hands on a sealed new-in-box 20th Anniversary Gameboy Micro thats pretty cool. Comic-Con starts tomorrow and I am disappointed that I wont be able to go, perhaps next year for sure. I am missing out on a lot of cool stuff going on there and exclusives too. We went to the Phoenix Comic-Con back in February and that was pretty cool but I bet nothing will beat San Diego. Speaking of comics if you haven't already then check out the Blackest Night story arc in Green Lantern so far it is bad ass. Also am reading the Gears of War comics and i just picked up the new Halo Helljumpers, I have strong hopes for that series. I started playing WoW again with some buddies from work but gave up (again) a few months later, got my lock to 55 then I rolled a Death Knight (65) which I have to admit I had a lot of fun with. I am sure I will go back again someday just to play for fun. I believe the next MMO I am looking forward to is Star Wars the Old Republic, I sure hope it wont let us down. I know I said LOTRO would be my last MMO but lol things change.

ODSTPosted: Jul 24, 2009 12:00AM PST by Liquid_Ocelot_Wesker
might possibly have the best story in a Halo game. I'm more of a PS3 guy, but I just picked up Gears 2 and am digging the story but the way Marcus grunts makes me luagh. He's like an ape. I hope that ODST comes with a free Gold Trial...
