SHORT COURSE: Applied Storytelling
Story can touch and transform everything you do. Applied Storytelling will give you the translation tools to put story to work in whatever field you operate.
"If someone asks you what there is to do,
Light the candle in their hand." ~Rumi
Influencers, artists, teachers, therapists, activists, executives, environmentalists all now use stories to reach their listeners, because nothing works so strongly on the conscious and unconscious mind. In story both hemispheres of the brain light up and all the gender possibilities in us unite; thus the magic! Even Sci-fi stories are now being used to help companies imagine how their business might be affected by technological developments (Times: leading article).
" Our five days together are still locked in my memory. I noticed my imagination letting itself loose as the days progressed, as if a hole had gradually been opened in the top of my head. I felt it profoundly." Phil Barber. Life Coach
If you haven't discovered the power of story, or if you would like to deepen your knowledge, come spend some time with us and we'll share with you the tools we have developed for you to apply story whatever your passion, whatever your occupation.

Business Opportunities
Project title:
ABC (Animal Bone bioChar): BIO-PHOSPHATE industrial replication franchise model for organic horticultural applications
Business cooperation and investment proposal offer with high financial and non-financial benefit business opportunities
ABC (Animal Bone biochar) BIO-PHOSPHATE is a recovered organic phosphorus fertiliser produced from food grade animal bones with the advanced 3R zero emission pyrolysis and nutrient recovery technology environmental performance. The current investment project is aimed at the implementation of an ABC processing plant hardware installation (full scale industrial replication and production franchise model) and the global market uptake of 3R zero emission pyrolysis technology and ABC BIO-PHOSPHATE natural products. The complex 3R technology and all its auxiliary systems haven been specifically developed for high tech processing of animal by-products only.
The ABC BIO-PHOSPHATE project awarded Seal of Excellence quality label from the European Commission. This quality label is a guarantee for investors to find high standard projects from European SMEs with strong feasibility and capacity of development.
We are looking for qualified and solid business partner(s) - equity investment - with proper references for the 2018/2019 implementation of 3R biomass-to-recovered natural fertilizer and biomass-to-liquid bio-fuel green energy industrial replication model in 2018/2019:
- 20,800 t/y throughput capacity.
- 12,500 t/y output ABC (Animal Bone bio-Char) BIO-PHOSPHATE production.
- External investment need: CAPEX €9 million, OPEX: €1 million year 1.
- Sales from year 2: > € 17M/year EXW during 20 years life time.
- IRR = 25%. Pay back= 3-4 years.
- Industrial installation/operational Authority permits: already available.
- ABC application Authority permits: already available (West Hungary).
- Market focus: Producer Organizations for fresh fruit and vegetable organic products; adsorbent industry (virgin/regenerated adsorbents)
- Marketing and sales: prepared for organic farming/adsorbent sectors.
- Full value project insurance and international reinsurance made.
Outline that gives the business leading edge: The EU is >95% is importing the mineral phosphate, most MS 100%, mineral phosphate containing Cadmium and Uranium toxic elements. The new EU Fertilizers Regulation revision law harmonization (2018) provides strict safety criteria for fertilizers (including very low Cadmium content), for which most traditional mineral fertilizers cannot meet under market competitive conditions. The new EU concept is to utilize the approx. 2Billion t/y unexploited biomass resources in the EU. Terra Humana Ltd. is the only one vendor in the EU who is specialized on high nutrient dense bio-phosphate recovery since 2002.
Results so far: Significant liquid cash finance invested for project development 1989-2018, including European Commission co-financed projects between 2002-2017, majority from Terra Humana Ltd. and in minor scale additional European Commission co-finance made since 2002. Successfully development completed and proven demonstrated, full industrialization made.
Status: post development-prior commercialization-no revenues yet.
Key goals: Extensive market valorisation and market capitalization of the 3R Zero Emission Pyrolysis Technology and products by 2018-2020 to reach immense market and economical values.
The 3R investment is characterized by high return on capital, high financial and non-financial benefit business opportunity, rapid pay back, above average expected growth in revenues and earnings in strategically important key business sector. In all investment phase our work is low risk profile performed and fiscally conservative with offered stability, but still maximizing the gains. The proven and advanced 3R technology opens new technical, economical and environmental perspectives and opportunities. Please contact us for details.
The 3R is a "Product of Europe", which development is priority supported and co-financed by the European Commission Framework Programme 5, 6, 7, CIP-Ecoinnovation and H2020 since 2002 (for more information please visit our 3R PROJECT References site) under transnational scientific and technological development cooperation in eight EU countries and Israel.

The way the news media runs itself has been a sore spot with me for a long time. MaybeÂI just notice it more now but their political biased seems to bear it's naked soul more often then it used too.
I have, of course, been watching the bs, I mean conflict in the middle east. It disturbs me that every single bomb and casualty that lands on the Lebannon side of the border is reported and the media does it's best to downplay the bombs that land in Israel.
Israel has been under almost daily attack for years (decades). Israel has apparently had enough. They have started retaliating right away. The world media raves about the "innocent civilians" on the islam side of the war. Hardly a mention of them in Israel. Apparently there are no innocent civilians in Israel. Not even children on a school bus. Did they think I would forget?
This one sided reporting could be no accident and is unforgivable.
I have seen the "six o'clock news" deliberately confuse issues by saying they didn't understand them. The news media doesn't have the Right to proudly say they don't understand something. It's their job to know, and find out if they truly don't know.
The news media lets us down everyday and I'm tired of it.

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present the most Wearable Sin I plan on doing in this series, Lust. I wanted ALL of the looks to be a bit more... Editorial. Like something you'd see a model wearing in some High End fashion magazine like Vogue Italia. I ended up opting for something classicly sexy, like a smokey eye and cat Eyeliner. And False lashes that my Mama couldn't even tell were there. XD Either the lashes are that damned good, or I did a fine job blending my own lashes in.
In doing this I discovered that I NEED to practice my nose contouring more. >.<

And finally: A kickass corset from OrchardCorset.com
You'd never be able to tell in pictures, that in person, my foundation is actually two to three shades too dark/orange for me. LOL. I didn't want to use a Matte foundation with this look because I wanted a dewy looking finish that I wouldn't have been able to achieve otherwise. I also missed using my Dream Liquid Mousse. It was my go-to foundation for QUITE a while.
I was initially going to do a juicy red lip with this look... but I think it would have taken away from the drama of the eyes and made the look overwhelming and unpleasant to look at. So I went for something semi-nude, I think it's a much nicer alternative.
Also, initially in the plan for this look was normal-not-winged-eyeliner. Clearly that plan changed. As I was looking at my eyes in the mirror, with normal every day eyeliner(no lashes applied yet either) I decided that there wasn't anything remotely special about the look... so I started playing with winged eyeliner, the shape, the length, the width... Finally I came out with a thing-ish but dramatic cat-eye.
Top it off with thick black falsies, and I was in love! The lashes made my eyes look wider, the colors[maroon, hot pink, and gold] made the icier toned blues in my eyes pop out- atleast in person. It didn't translate to well into the pictures.
Also, instead of using my normal Eyebrow pencil, I actually used three matte eyeshadows- a red, a brown, and a tan. They're darker than usual and not as strong as I like, but it worked out in the end.
After today's look, I was comparing this to how Envy turned out, and I'm contemplating revisiting Envy. It's an option, I suppose. Anyways, let me know what you guys think! :)
Until next time...

You've got to give Philadelphia Eagles corner Jalen Mills credit. While the team may be boring in their color selections, he isn't afraid to take things to a neon level.
That's been on display on the top of his head for seasons now.
But he's recently expanded his bold color choices to his feet. Take his shoe selections for this current road trip down to North Carolina for tonight's matchup with the Panthers on Thursday Night Football.
Not only is he going bright while traveling as seen below:
He's also going neon on his feet during warmups this evening with a green goblin theme:
But are they more neon than his hair? Tough to say.
Just don't let him design the next Birds' uniform.

I'm working on rolling out a series of pedal kit build tutorials that walks you through building one of our tagboardeffects DIY guitar effects pedal kits and here's the first part of that series. One of the goals I've had for a while now is to try and make it as easy as possible for people new to building electronic circuits to do so and our guitar effects pedal kits are a great way to dive in. So I am creating a complete walk-through of building a kit, showing you step-by-step how to do it and explaining it well enough that you should be able to build your first kit with minimal problems.
Are you a beginner and need help getting started? This category is for you!
Guitar Effects Pedal Building – Offboard Wiring Demystified
Probably the most complicated thing to grasp for first time builders is in regards to the offboard wiring. Mark at tagboardeffects has a great explanation in his Offboard wiring page, but sometimes the generic board just isn't enough. After all, "Where do the potentiometers go?", "How do I wire the ground wires?", etc. just isn't shown in the diagrams. So I decided I would make a practical application showing a kit completely wired (minus the jacks) so you can see how it works.

Fresh hope for missing mum Breda Delaney with possible sightings
The daughter of missing Dublin woman Breda Delaney said there has been a number of possible sightings of her mother reported by social media users.
Emer Delaney said local gardai are also examining many CCTV cameras in the area in the hope of detecting images of her mother.
Emer renewed her appeal to taxi drivers and other early morning road-users who may have seen her mother.
Breda Delaney (72), a retired university lecturer, went missing from her house at Avondale Court, Blackrock, in the early hours of last Saturday.
"My mother was very, very severely depressed and very, very anxious and may not have been acting normally," she said.
She has not ruled out the possibility she could have travelled to the UK.
The emphasis of the searches is still on coastal and wooded areas of Dublin and Wicklow and there is also the possibility she could have gone to the south east as she is originally from Ferrybank in Waterford.
A meeting of volunteers helping in the search took place at Dun Laoghaire library last night.
Mrs Delaney (above) is 5ft 4in, of slight build, with shoulder-length blonde/grey hair and blue eyes.
When last seen she was wearing a white cardigan, a grey calf-length skirt and black shoes.
Emer urged anyone who may have seen her mother to contact gardai directly in Blackrock on 01 6665200.

This is an outdated post that was written during the 2016 U.S. presidential primaries, albeit not previously published. Its principal message, however, is still relevant. Back in 1968, the late senator Bobby Kennedy predicted that in 40 years it was a realistic possibility that a black man could be elected president. I wonder what would have been the reaction if someone had suggested that in 40 years a woman might also become president. Laughing hysterically? Sneers and jeers? Dumbfounded silence? But no, wait, that never would have happened. No one would have ever even thought of Read More
Because she's a woman
Well, the election has been over for months, the inauguration has taken place, yet there is still one issue that I notice people are denying, or at least are reluctant to face. And that is, did Hillary Clinton's gender have anything to do with her loss? The prevailing wisdom seems to be that she was a flawed candidate and that she represented 'business as usual' in Washington, which the majority of people no longer wanted. Those things may be true, but I can't get myself to agree that sexism has completely been eradicated and that a woman has an equal chance of winning the presidency as a Read More
Freedom of Speech–Part 2
As I have mentioned before, I don't believe adoptees have freedom of speech. Whenever an adopted person tries to bring up the fact that adoption is not all it's cracked to be, he or she is met with rebuttals. I analyzed several of those rebuttals in my earlier post. So now I'd like to share another rebuttal, and one that I consider the piece de resistance— "What did you want your mother to do? You were unwanted. She did what she thought was best for you by giving you up." Aargh! Obviously, anyone who could say such a thing has been too influenced (brainwashed) by the adoption industry and Read More

A Note to Our Readers
Our readers will have noticed that our blog and Facebook page have become more political of late. But not to worry—we are as passionate as ever in our convictions about the importance of family preservation and adoptee rights. With the fate of our democracy seemingly hanging in the balance, we feel strongly that bringing attention to some of these issues is the right thing to do. For those who share our political point of view, we hope that our more political posts and Facebook updates will give you food for thought and will inspire some political action on your part.

Sharing our Stories–A First Mother's Perspective
We believe that sharing our stories is one of the best ways to counteract the prevailing narrative that adoption is always good and to show instead that it is actually much more complex, with far more negative consequences, than is generally believed in American culture. We have shared adoptee stories and are so pleased today to be able to share a story from a first mother's perspective. Irish-born Christine Lindsay is the author of multi-award-winning Christian fiction and non-fiction as well as a motivational speaker.

Bye Bye Security
The incoming administration has made it clear that revamping our social safety net, limited as it is, is one of their top priorities. Among the proposed changes is the complete repeal of the ACA/Obamacare, with the elimination of the Medicaid expansion that some states have adopted as the first step. Other proposed changes are to convert social security benefits from a guaranteed benefit to citizens based on their work history, or that of their spouse, to one that is needs based. Normally when the government determines "needs based" the figures they use are unrealistically low. Privatizing Read More

It was from a cookbook called Nestle Classic Recipes. The recipe is called "No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake Pie" (p. 89). I modified the recipe to fit my 7" heart pan, from the 9" round pan size they provided. It fit beautifully! Rather than a whipped cream topping, I went with strawberry slices. This was a delicious, thick cheesecake! I only needed a small piece to be satisfied. Yummy and super easy.
Happy Valentine's Day!

I did actually finish a project this weekend – but no pictures as this is meant to be a holiday present for someone who sometimes reads.
Unfortunately, my WIP list didn't go down any, as this was a total impulse cast on. That's the thing about deadlines and someone as obstinate as myself…I'll do anything in my power to try everything I can to not complete them!

Just thought I'd use the opportunity to reintroduce a friend off mine. So B is also for Brian Phipps. He's an old school friend and we go way back. Nowadays he's a wildlife photographer and a bloody good one at that. He's done a fair few magazine articles and the like and is becoming pretty well known. He specialises in British Wildlife and travels all over the UK for his shots.
Check out his website here, and take a look at his work. He sells prints and cards etc, so if you see anything you like you can treat yourself, or someone else to some of his pics.
So go check him out :)

Luxury Travel Advisors are proud to offer some of the world's most stunning and exclusive wilderness resorts.
Our luxury wilderness holidays offer an endless program of activities for the adventurous traveller.
Have you ever dreamed of sailing in the Galapagos Islands, fly fishing in Yellowstone National Park, sleeping in a Treehotel in Sweden, or climbing to the dramatic Taktshang Monastery built into a sheer cliff face at 3050m in Bhutan?
Alto Atacama
The lodge opened in 2007 and was considered one of the greatest architectural achievements in Chile, making Alto Atacama a truly indescribable place. The imposing mountain peaks that surround the lodge will give you a panorama of infinitely varying chromatic colours throughout the day. All followed by the total darkness and silence of the desert night, lit by a countless number of stars. It's a tribute to the Atacama desert a place where you can live, breath and learn about the desert, it's people and it's culture.
Built to blend seamlessly into its surroundings, appearing as part of the terracotta-coloured hills that rise behind it. The lodge offers over 30 cultural and adventure excursions, from bike rides to volcano treks, photo safaris to picnics at high-altitude salt lakes, and visits to geyser fields, amongst others. The lodge also boasts a private open deck telescope for stargazing. To relax the Spa features six outdoor pools, indoor and outdoor Jacuzzi, sauna and steam bath.
Explora Atacama
Four spectacular outdoor swimming pools are the place to cool off. A stay at Explora in Atacama comes on an all-inclusive basis and includes a number of excursions per day, tailored to one's personal interests by multilingual guides. On offer are horse riding in the sand dunes, sunset hiking to the Moon Valley, volcano climbing, cultural excursions, relaxing in Explora's private hot springs, and much more. Atacama is the ultimate destination for those looking for both adventure and natural beauty.
Set in a 700-mile-long desert amid six soaring volcanoes, the mile-and-a-half-high town of San Pedro de Atacama is close to the driest place on earth—in some parts of the Atacama Desert, it hasn't rained in more than a century. But there are oases: Guests can take guided excursions to hot springs and boiling geysers, or to the buoyant turquoise waters found at the nearby salt flats.
Explora's multilingual guides offer guests 5-7 excursion options per day, including hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and visits to archaeological sites. To watch the world's best sunset, catch a 15-minute ride to Valle de la Luna, then hike an hour and a half through miniature sand mountains. Or if you really want to earn your pisco sour (a favoUrite Chilean cocktail), top 19,455-foot Volcán Licancábur. Rumor has it, there's a magical surprise in the crater lake at the summit.
Located at an elevation of 8,000 feet, the explora en Atacama lodge features 50 stylish, design rooms with Jacuzzis and boasting spectacular views of the desert, mountains and volcanoes. The high standard restaurant serves international cuisine and the bar and lounge area form a perfect place to exchange the adventure experiences of the day.
If you have a favourite 'WILDERNESS' destination you think we should know about, please get in touch.
Please remember all our trips are interchangeable. Why not combine Chile Wilderness with Peru Wonders?

Housing and Registration
HOUSING PIRATES: Housing Pirating is a practice carried out by third-party companies that act as agents to solicit registrants for room reservations. The "Pirates" might inform registrants that they have secured the best possible rate, or that the room block is "sold out" and that if you do not book with them immediately, you may not get a room. Additional deceptive tactics include distributing forms or promotional materials that appear to be issued by HFMA.
Housing Pirates often don't deliver on promises to customers. When customers arrive, reservations are non-existent. Sometimes the rooms have been cancelled and hefty cancellation fees have been placed on the customer's credit card. Don't be misled! And remember, unless you have initiated the communication, please do not provide anyone with your personal information, especially your credit card number.
To update your online booth profile:
Tutorial Video:
The balance for your booth space is due by March 7, 2018.
The booth personnel badges allow entrance into the exhibit hall, Sunday evening Opening Reception and General Sessions. Exhibitors from companies that participate in the Executive Connection meetings also are invited to the Tuesday All Show party.
The industry continues to evolve, and while the heart of who we are remains the same, so must we. Our loyal, long - time members and attendees know and trust the acronym ANI, but those unfamiliar with the history of the event need more. With help and input from our members and association volunteer leaders, we've decided to change our name from ANI (Annual National Institute) to Annual Conference. The name change is also a reflection that our new Annual Conference will be different in many ways from years past.

Faceted search is a technique for accessing a collection of information represented using a faceted classification scheme.
In a faceted classification scheme, each object or document can be classified based on multiple facets that represent independent ways of describing it. For example, the facets in a product catalog include category, brand, price, etc. The facets in a library catalog include subject, author, time period, etc. Faceted classification represents the fact that, as David Weinberger says, Everything is Miscellaneous, and it is artificial (if not impossible!) to arrange a large, diverse collection into single, pre-determined, hierarchy or taxonomy.

"I had an amazing experience at Simply I do when I got my wedding dress there. I was even that bride that every bridal shop dreads...
I was engaged and married in 2 months and needed to buy a dress off the rack. Simply I Do was the first place that I looked and was treated marvelously and they had a so many dresses in stock, in so many sizes it was very easy to find the dress of my dreams! I had originally gone in by myself and found the dress I wanted but felt needed to go look at dresses with my mom as well. We went to 4 other bridals stores and were treated poorly at 3 of them because it was such a short turn around, one even refused to work with me because I wouldn't be ordering anything. I ended up returning to Simply I Do to get my dress, Andrea was incredibly helpful and their seamstress Francis was precise and timely as well.
I so much appreciated the way I was treated I refer anyone I can back to them. 3 of my friends have gotten their wedding dresses or bridesmaids dresses there and all have been so so happy.
5 stars all the way around for location, selection, service, and convenience!"
"Love them! First place I tried on wedding dresses and thought I had found "the one." Mom wasn't sure and wanted me to try other places, but I still ended up coming back for the first one! Everyone was extremely nice. Bought all bridesmaid dresses there and they were very accommodating helping me choose colors and styles. The dresses came in slightly off color and they notified me in case I wanted to change it since we still had time. I have no complaints!"
"I always have an amazing time at Simply I Do. The service is amazing and I would highly recommend them to anyone who's seeking that special experience. Andrea knows her stuff. When I'm ready to buy for my big day, I'm heading to Simply I Do."
"Had a FANTASTIC time. Abby helped us and did an amazing job! So happy with the decisions made today- so helpful and honest."
"I loved this place and how helpful everyone was. It was such a fun/exciting experience. I found my dress here and can't wait to get it. Definitely recommend!"
"The owner is amazing and extremely helpful!! She helped me find the perfect dress for an event I had!! So whether you need a wedding dress, prom dress, bridesmaid dress, or just a fancy dress she has it!!! And now even has some boutique clothing too!!!"
"The woman that helped me was the sweetest and funniest employee ever! She was honest and made me feel beautiful in the wedding dress I said yes to! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience and wonderful customer service!! They also have GREAT payment plans!"
"Getting my wedding dress here was amazing! Not only did Emily listen to what I wanted, she quickly picked up on my style. I felt soooo comfortable and cared for! I went on my own just trying to figure out what I liked and ended up finding "the one" Emily celebrated with me and made a big deal out of it! I couldn't have asked for a better experience!"
"My daughter had a prom dress picked out by 1 hour and she absolutely loves it. Thank you for being there for my daughter in this special time of her life"
"I got not only my wedding dress here, but also our bridesmaids dresses and tuxes! Everything has been great working with these ladies! They have helped with all that I have wanted and truly couldn't have been better. I'd recommend them to anyone! Also loved their bigger sizes of dresses for women who are bigger than a 8!"
"They were So helpful and polite! What a great experience"
"From the first moment I walked through their door I knew they were the ones I was going to buy my wedding gown from! They know exactly how to make a girl feel special and help her find the gown of her dreams. I am so glad I went to Simply I do and I highly recommend them for all your gown needs."

Snowed In!!
I've started to blow the snow out of the driveway, but the wind is still too strong and it makes it tough. The plow has gone by and left a bit of a pile at the end of the driveway. This amount of snow is pushing the limits of my little 5.5HP 24" blower. I have to get something heavier for next winter!
I measured 14" in the middle of the driveway, and 32 at the street. But the best part is the blowing and drifting! The snow is almost up to the dining room window.
This is the back door of the garage. A few feet out it's waist deep...
Looking along the back of the house...
From the bay window in the dining room...
The view out the patio door...
We have no plans to go anywhere today and I'm taking my time at clearing the driveway. Nancy's making some chicken wild rice soup. The whole house smells great!
Not everyone has hunkered down for the day...
Before this latest round of snow, there was over 4' of snow on the edge of the driveway... Once I get it cleared out and it quits blowing, I'll have to measure it again...
Down the road...

That's a lot of snow. Do you get what's referred to as "lake effect snow"? I'm not sure how far you are from the great lakes...ReplyDelete
TIme for a loader, I'm sure you can paint it Kawasaki green!Replies
I think were at the edge of the snow band that gets the "lake effect" snows 25 miles south of us the snow is never as deep. They still get snow, just not as much.Delete
I've been eyeing some John Deere stuff, it's pretty close to Kawasaki green...
I've never seen snow that high. You've sure seen more than your share of it this year, and also many other places in the east.
Good thing you were not without power for long.
I can nearly smell your Chicken wild rice soup from here

The soup was good!!! And yes, this is one heck of a winter!Delete
Too bad we're not closer together. I'd be looking for a Payloader for us to share.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm giving serious thought to a tractor with a loader or a PTO powered snow thrower. I wish I still had my old plow truck.Delete
I feel the pain Erik ... we had to call in the big guns to plow/blow the drive this year, first time since living in the current location and now we've had to dig a snow moat around the house because of the worry of quick thawing this weekend. It's quite a sight.ReplyDelete

Visual Content For Your Business and Why It's Important.
What do we mean by visual content? It's basically what people see when they look at your business through your website and social media media platforms. Is the visual content for your business up to scratch?
Are the images you use on social media eye popping? Do people scroll through their newsfeed and stop when they get to your image because it has really drawn them in? If not, then why not? It's important your images are getting your message across and stand out enough to make people actually read it, then you'll be wanting them to Like, Share and Retweet that image.
Visual Content For Your Business is Key!
So how do you get your visual content for your business up to scratch?
- Be sure you use colour, stand out from the crowd and don't be afraid to be bold.
- Make sure you use the correct image size for Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter, you want the right sizes so that your images are easily seen and the text on it easily read.
- Give people a reason to comment, ask a question through your image.
- People connect with things they can relate to, so be sure you're targeting the right people.
- Humour is always a good way to go, make people smile or giggle and you'll get people sharing your content and paying attention more.
- Coupons almost always work and infographics too.
- Tips, always give people tips, they want value.
Image quotes like the one below are always a great way to get people interacting. Just a simple Like on a post can go a long way. So always have it in the forefront of your mind that you want people to notice your images and don't be afraid to go Bold.

6/15/05: Todd Geib, 22, Casnovia, MI
Geib was last heard from during a series of cell phone calls between 12:47 a.m. and 12:57 a.m. on Sunday. At 12:47 a.m., he called the friend who had driven him to the party to say that he'd "had enough" and was walking home. He then called a friend at 12:51 a.m., but all he said was, "I'm in a field," before the phone call cut off. The friend called back and heard only what she thought was either breathing or the wind before the call ended. The phone was then used twice over the next few minutes in an attempt to call the friend back with the last attempt ending at 12:57 a.m. Geib's phone was not used again after that. Neither were his credit cards.
The area where Geib was last seen was thoroughly searched three times. During one of the searches, an estimated 1,500 volunteers as well as aircraft searched the area around the party site. Nothing was found.
Three weeks later, on July 2, 2005, Todd Geib's body was discovered in a remote pond near the party. It was reported, "according to the couple who found Todd, he was standing upright in Obenhall Lake. They remember it distinctly because his head and shoulders were sticking out of the water. With a blood alcohol content of .12, the cause of death was ruled "drowning." The manner of death was ruled "undetermined." The Michigan State Police closed Todd's case." (Piehl, 6/12/09).
One police officer initially provided speculation to Geib's mother, Kathy, that her son had gone for a swim. But it didn't make sense. Geib was found fully clothed with his wallet in his pocket. (Piehl, 6/12/09).
Geib's family does not believe the official ruling. They believe Todd Geib died as the result of a homicide.
In 2009, Geib's autopsy report and recovery photos were reviewed by Dr. Michael Sikirica, a board certified Forensic Pathologist and CEO of Forensic Identification and Profiling Labratory. He showed the file to his team, other investigators and also shared the data at an international convention of Medical Examiners. All agreed with Dr. Sikirica's conclusion--that Todd Geib who had been missing for three weeks, had been dead 2 – 5 days. (Piehl, 3/3/10).
Despite these new findings, the Michigan State Police refused to reopen Todd Geib's case.
In March 2010, Kathy Geib told WZZM13, "We can't bring him back with an investigation, but Todd deserves justice," said Kathy Geib. "It's almost like saying Todd's life is worth nothing when we have all this evidence and no one turn back to see what happened." (Brenzing, 3/18/10).
Kathy Geib is still fighting to get the case reopened. A small rally--Justice for Todd--was held June 10, 2012 in Ravenna, Mich. to help urge police to change their minds.
"There was no water in his lungs," she elaborated in an interview with Heather Lynn Peters of MLive on June 6, 2012. "From what we have found from the professionals is that he had been placed in the water after he was dead. They are 100 percent in agreement that in this case there were clues missed."
She hopes it will be enough for police to open a case.

Disorientation? Having trouble breathing? Sounds like this man was drugged. .12 Alc level is barely over the legal limit for driving. Ignorant society chalking up every person whos drunk and dies to an accident. Its just sad

worth adding that the lake Todd Geib's body was found in is near Half Moon Lake where both Michael Noll and Craig Burrows were found -- "Geib left the party and was apparently walking home to the room rented from his cousin near Half Moon Lake." http://ccadp.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=victims&action=print&thread=6744

Police and other authorities are embarrassed and afraid to tell us what we already know:
They don't know the answers.
The medications found in Todd's system were placed there by someone or something other than Todd himself.
Supernatural variables are involved.
This is one of the most chilling and bizarre cases of mysterious disappearance and death in existence.

If there is no water in the guys lungs he didn't drown. These poor people that this situation happens to are somehow drugged into confusion. He said "he'd had enough" when on the phone to his buddy that he called. Whatever killed him, was with him,in that field when he made those bizarre calls.
