Boost your Motivation by Making a Powerful Vision, Strategy 2
By bobap on February 4, 2013
In my last blog I shared with you one strategy for boosting the motivational impact of your vision, the first of the three factors of self motivation. In today's blog I will share with you a second strategy to have that impact.
It is so important for people who want to get motivated that they take action to increase the motivational impact of the three factors. This is really the only way you can have a lasting effect on your level of motivation. Wishing to be motivated will not by itself increase your motivation.
And if you aren't motivated, you won't accomplish your goals, and your dreams will not come true.
In my last blog I explained one thing that makes your vision – what you are trying to accomplish – more motivating, is that it is important to you.
Another thing that makes it more motivating is clarity. The more clear you are, the more motivated you will be.
Clarity impacts the vision in two ways:
- You must be clear in exactly what your goal is. "Losing weight" is not clear. "Losing 20 pounds" is clear. So is "weighing 135 pounds." Without clarity, you will never be sure when you have achieved your goal. With clarity you will know exactly what is expected of you.
- You must get clear on exactly how you will accomplish your goal. Getting clear on how means creating a step by step plan for accomplishing it. Creating a plan includes writing it down. If it isn't written down, either on paper or in a computer, you don't have clarity.
Getting clarity is not difficult. But it will take thought and it will take writing it down.
Getting clarity is like taking a trip. You don't need to plan your itenarary if you don't really have a destination. But if you have somewhere you want to get to, you better plan out how you will get there.
And a written plan makes your life so much easier when you sit down to work, because you know exactly what the next step is.

Thirteen-year-old Nebraska girl Luli has been dealt a rough hand. Certain she's destined for a more glamorous life, Luli packs her things --including her new birthday gift, a Smith & Wesson .45 --and hitches a ride to Vegas. Dressed like a girl twice her age, she's immediately picked up by a wannabe cowboy but the two fail to hit it off and Luli is ejected from the car. Luckily, she soon meets Glenda, a grifter who acts as Luli's big sister, albeit one who offers her drugs and uses her as an accessory to a robbery. Luli's life on the road takes more than few calamitous detours, but her flippant attitude and feisty demeanor prevent the dark moments from veering into gratuitously grim territory. Rated R for disturbing content involving a teen, violence, drug use, language and drinking.

Last night was Katie Couric's special episode of 20/20 – "The Jubilee Queen." For those of you who were able to watch, you know that it had its touching moments..and its ridiculous moments. What was my favorite moment?
"I've longed for kids since I was very, very young. And so … I'm waiting to find the right person, someone who's willing to take on the job." - Prince Harry
Oh yea, William says he and Kate are keen on having kids as well..but let's focus on Harry, shall we? If you recall, in his March interview with Seth Doane, Harry spilled the beans that, "I'm 27 years old, and not so much searching for someone to fulfill the role, but obviously, you know, finding someone that would be willing to take it on."
I don't know if it was the water in Brazil or his kiss from model Fernand Motta, but the eligible bachelor has been all about letting American journalists in on his romantic hopes and dreams.
Harry, it's okay.. I know you might think dropping hints to American journalists, who I clearly follow, is the way to get my attention but if you call, I promise I will pick up the phone. Stop sharing your personal feelings with the media and just call me, maybe.
If you were following my live tweets last night, you may have realized I have put my sassy pants on one leg at a time prior to watching (@RoyallyKate and @PetiteHRH can attest to that). In all seriousness, despite it's "Dumb American" moments (Would you kill me if I went on the balcony? Does your grandmother text you? Maybe the Queen will friend me on Facebook..), there were some special highlights that caught my attention..
"She would have loved Kate.." – William on his late mother, Princess Diana
"She had the best seat in the house probably." – Harry on Diana not being here for the royal wedding
"You don't mess with your grandmother." – Prince William
"I'm just very keen to have a family and both Catherine and I, you know, are looking forward to having a family in the future." – Prince William
"Once you're in the military, she means a lot more to you than just a grandmother. She is the queen. And then you suddenly, it's like start realizing, you know, wow, this is quite a big deal. And then you get goose bumps and then the rest of it." – Prince Harry on his grandmother
"Without him she would be slightly lost I think." – Prince Harry describing his grandparents' relationship
"The man is an absolute gem." – Arthur Edwards on Prince Charles
Fascinators off to you, Katie Couric.
and no, I am not actually expecting Prince Harry to call me.. I'm not delusional

otherwise there are minor differences in reality.

Comments about KCNC Bike KCNC Razor Disc Brake Rotor:
These rotors work just as good as any other super lightweight rotor that costs double or triple the price!
The open design does take some getting used to until pads bed in. If your someone who wants to keep weight and price down on your bike and doesn't tend to grab a handful of brake at every corner then these will serve you well.
I used a 180mm rotor for front and 160 for rear on my XO trail brakes / Pivot Mach 5.7 without issue over the last 100+ miles of riding.
New out of the package, I did have to slighlty tweek the front rotor a hair to avoid rubbing, but 160 was perfectly true. Keep in mind all open rotors like this will easily come out of true with less material stiffness, which is why my best use opinion is XC/Trail use.
Thus, if you tend to be on the brakes alot, I'd recommend a more closed designed rotor like the Avid HS1's or Shimano equivalent for your type manufacturer brakeset.
Overall, very pleased for my intended use and price. They even come with rotor bolts.
Lastly, the weights are etched on the rotors.
(180 = 94gms) (160 = 73gms)
Hope this helped.

SBRC approval to charge/bill special education administrative costs to the special education program
When a district presents evidence of unusual circumstances that would justify charging administrative costs to the special education program, the SBRC may authorize such expenditures using the following criteria:
a. The district has a separate school for special education which has a sufficient student population to warrant a certified special education administrator. If approved, the district may bill the prorated (proportionate) portion of the cost to other resident districts for students served in that school as well as include the prorated portion of the cost related to its own resident students in the special education program expenditures. These districts determined that the special education students are best served by providing the special education program in a separate special education school/facility, have a school listed on their BEDS data collection coded "05 special education" and have a special education administrator listed on their BEDS staffing data collection whose expenditures are coded on the CAR-COA in the 2330 function for special area administration.
b. The district has one or more private facilities located within the distict with a sufficient special education student population that is served by the district. If approved, the district may bill the prorated portion of the administrative cost to other resident districts for students served in that facility but shall not include the prorated portion related to its own resident students in the special education program expenditures. These districts have a residential facility or day program located within their district boundaries which serve school-age children, but which are not accredited schools. This means that Iowa Code requires that the educational program be provided by the district of location. The instructional program will either be provided directly by the district of location or through a purchased services contract for an educational program from a qualified provider.
The amount that may be charged is the lower of actual or approved costs. All costs must be allowable costs pursuant to Iowa Code and Iowa Administrative Code. Actual costs for this purpose are costs for administration that are measurable directly without allocating and are exclusively devoted to the programs of identified students served pursuant to their IEPs. These costs are costs that would normally be coded on the CAR-COA in the 2330 or 2410 function. Prior SBRC approval is required.

Topic: TinyMCE 184.108.40.206 Released
This release fixes a pretty critical bug with the new paste functionality. When the selection range was collapsed it would delete existing characters.
It also fixes some problems with the table plugin that has been in there for a while. We also fixed a IE 7 specific bug where event attributes would get a wrapper function in it's output.
If you are using the 3.2.3 version and the new paste plugin we strongly recommend that you upgrade to this one.
We want to give our thanks to everyone that has sent in patches and new features to the paste functionality. We will look into them in detail for the next release we just didn't want to add new functionality to this minor upgrade.

Unfortunately, there is no way to create a spellchecker. Using regexp. It may be possible with a python function, but I'm not all to skilled in python, and don't know if it's feasible.
To ensure caps at the beginning of a sentence, including multiple sentences in the same line of text, and that all other words that are not all caps (INCLUDING proper nouns mind you), the following three, in given order, should suffice.
regexp: \b(\w+[a-z])
replace: lower(\1)
regexp: ^(\w)
replace: upper(\1)
regexp: ([.]\s\w)
replace: upper(\1)
You're welcome x2 Combo!
If you want to replicate EVERY majuscule A, you need
regexp: A
If you want to replicate ONLY a SINGLE majuscule A, you need
regexp: \bA\s

lol Shad thanks man - my self esteem balloons with your heaped praise!
All the very best my good man
Seriously though I also like the simple tyre choice of gloosy effect. Think it enhances the snow base
They were reasonable until recently, just £20 for a tac squad. In fact it was worth buying the IH box for regular tacticals of any other chapter as you got all the extra IH bits for a measly £2 which went for far more on ebay than that. However they just bumped the price up to £25 per IH box which put an end to that.
lol. I've tried to give the others a bionic 'bit' be it an arm or leg. And they all have the ravenwing techy helmets to enchance the look.
Its true, though I think when the 20 marines are all together on the table it won't look that repetative. We'll have to wait and see! As for bionics on helmets, I've always thought of them as external additions rather than an example of the bionics that lie underneath if that makes sense?
lol yeh a few bits - they all get used/traded/sold in the end.
Yeh I went with blue as I'm trying to limit the colours in the army to 3 strong tones (metal/blues/deep red) and didn't want to introduce a vivid colour to a rank and file marine. That said it does look a bit subdued, it was blue or red and I went with blue.
Thanks for the encouragement Dio. Loving your Dkok.

Gorm for a beach house gate
Materials: Gorm shelves
Description: For the safety of our grandson (2) who loves playing ball on the terrace, we needed a gate at the top of the stairs.
I used 3 Gorm shelves, 2 boards and two strap hinges and a door latch.
I drilled holes of different sizes through the wood and decided to call it "Champagne".

Heavy rains put a damper on area businesses
Published: Sunday, June 24, 2012 at 5:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, June 24, 2012 at 5:38 p.m.
Although the heavy rains from Tropical Storm Debby are much needed to relieve drought conditions, the torrential downpours, submerged roads and sporadic tornado warnings experienced Sunday did not render a favorable forecast for local businesses that depend on Florida sunshine.
With more bad weather expected into Tuesday, the National Weather Service estimates the rainfall in the Sarasota-Manatee area will accumulate to eight inches plus.
"It shut us down for today, that's for sure," Mark Stukey, owner of Ray's Canoe Hideaway on the Upper Manatee River, said Sunday.
Stukey's canoe business is only 5.5 miles downstream from the Lake Manatee Dam, which runs on a computer system that matches the inflow of water with the amount to be discharged.
As of Sunday, the water being discharged was at about 2,400 cubic feet per second, according to Paul Ramsey, Lake Manatee Dam's operator in charge.
To Stukey, that means the water has risen about half way up his boat ramp but is still manageable. "It's better than it was on June 22, 2003, when the water was all the way in our boathouse," he said.
Five days of continuous rain caused a malfunction in the dam that day, and water was flowing at about 7,500 cubic feet per second.
But, along with many other waterfront businesses, such as the Anna Maria Island Beach Cafe and O'Leary's Tiki Bar & Grill, Stukey will keep his doors open regardless of heavy rains.
"We get lookie-lous who like to see the water rising," he said, but quickly added that there will not be any canoeing. "You're only going to go one direction on a day like this – downstream – and we don't do pick-ups."
Marty Marcus, owner of the Beau Lido Suites on Lido Key, says their occupancy rate was down about 65 percent for the weekend. "People have canceled or they're coming for a day and leaving early."
Still, there is a benefit to all this rain, says Dan Noah at the National Weather Service. "It should wipe out the drought once and for all and start to replenish the ground water."

Community proud of fine girls players
Our Lady Prophets just concluded a tremendous basketball season with a stunning record of 27 wins and only 4 losses. In addition, the sophomore team won the conference with an undefeated record.
Those teams represented their school and community in the highest quality of play and sportsmanship in all their games throughout the entire season. They had great senior leadership from Riley Walters, Cassie Riley and Molly Corbin and a great work ethic from the entire team.
They were tenacious in defense and quick and sure with their passing to offset the height disadvantage they often faced throughout the year. Don Robinson again did a great job of developing a game plan and preparing the Lady Prophets for each game.

Will Work For Donuts
This morning, I photographed my cousin's family as part of a trade I'm doing with her. I don't normally do family portraits so I was thrilled when she thought of taking some on a white bed to let the kids play. We had such a great time and I feel lucky to have photographed this beautiful family.

Waste Management Receives Chelmsford Recycling Contract
IPR is out and WM is in; there will be no changes in recycling procedures for residents.
The Town of Chelmsford will put its recycling duties into the hands of Waste Management beginning on July 1. No recycling procedures will change for residents. The Board of Selectmen voted last night to discontinue service with recycling contractor IPR prior to the March 1 contract extension/termination deadline. Town of Chelmsford Recycling and Solid Waste Coordinator Nick Parlee received two unsolicited bids from Waste Management, each coming in at a significantly cheaper rate than Allied Waste, who also put in a bid. Allied Waste currently resides over Chelmsford's solid waste pickup. That could all change come 2015 when their contract runs out at the same time as the new contract with Waste Management.

[Originally Published 5/24/2012]
It appears that Merriam-Webster is going to have to revise another word in their dictionary. perseverance-(noun)see BLACK SUNSHINE's Matt Reardon. After three long years, several record deals, and a staph infection that nearly cost him his leg the extreme skier turned rock 'n' roll frontman bursts onto the scene with his latest band BLACK SUNSHINE. Recently Away-Team's Jason Rybak had the chance to sit down with Matt to discuss BLACK SUNSHINE's inevitable path to becoming this planet's next big, bright stars. However, you may need to grab a cold beverage and pull up a chair…this is no short journey!
AWAY-TEAM: Congrats on the upcoming release of your new album, and your current tour. You guys rocked tonight.
MATT REARDON: Thanks, dude! Tonight was cool, it was a good show. It was nice to be on the big stage.
AWAY-TEAM: Like I said before, to see the response…and the fans standing outside of your merch tent for hours, that was awesome.
MATT REARDON: I mean the response, the only thing that's being spun on the radio around here is "Once in My Life". Everybody in the front knew the words, I was just amazed. That's the coolest compliment you can get as an artist, to watch people sing your songs.
AWAY-TEAM: Yeah, I mean that is what you do this for…that's what you're looking for as an artist.
MATT REARDON: Oh yeah, and even the songs that they didn't know, they were just all… everyone was all into it. It was cool.
AWAY-TEAM: And that was the same thing with me, I had really only heard "Once in My Life"…and that's a great song, but your other shit just rocks. I was blown away.
MATT REARDON: We wanna have an album that takes you on a journey. But, you know, I'm a huge fan of this latest SHINEDOWN album. It comes out and fucking kicks you in the teeth. It makes you just like… after the first two songs you're like, "Holy shit man!". It gives you a breather and it picks back up again, and that kind of quality musically where you can take people on a journey in their lives…
AWAY-TEAM: Was that the driving force for enlisting Bob Marlette as a producer?
MATT REARDON: I think Bob saw a lot of potential in my vocal chords, like he did with SHINEDOWN; I've had that comparison with them quite a bit, and that's a big compliment.
AWAY-TEAM: You've got huge vocal control, never having seen you live before, I was quite impressed.
MATT REARDON: Thanks man. We just did like fourteen shows in a row. We were doing radio at like seven in the morning. I can't believe they're (re: vocal chords) still working out good, I'm still learning all the time but uh…working with Bob was a situation where I just kind of knocked on his door pretty much, and found a way to sneak in the back door, and you know… just talked him into giving me a chance. I kept sending in demos, and finally I sent him "Once in My Life", "Burn to Shine", and "Tears" and he was like "Okay, what label are you on? Let's do the album". 'Cause I kept getting record deals, and then the deals would fall apart, and record labels would fall apart and…
AWAY-TEAM: You know I had read that, that you'd had about three years of…
MATT REARDON: Mmm,hmm.
AWAY-TEAM: …meetings and trying to land record deals?
MATT REARDON: I had several record deals in that process. But, I also had several record deals that just wouldn't do anything, because it just didn't have the people behind it, and the right energy, and the right kind of mindset that, you know the music business doesn't work so good without that. And we wanted someone like Kevin Zinger, and a good radio guy like John Kuliak, and just people that were forward thinking and wanted to step outside the box and shake things up a bit.
AWAY-TEAM: So, uh, how'd you all meet?
MATT REARDON: "Toast" (drummer Matt "Toast" Young) and I… I moved from Vermont to Lake Tahoe, I was on a mogul tour and I ended up in this tiny town of Truckee, CA and I was on a open mic one night and "Toast", who was on drums was like, "Dude, you've got a great voice". I was playing acoustic and singing like some TESLA song or something like that, and he was like "I have a band", and he was just starting. I knew he was the drummer, and he invited me to play guitar with him. And I was in a band at the time, called FUNGUS, with Shaun Palmer who's kind of like a Shawn White, I guess I could say. Shaun Palmer's got his own video game, and I was his guitarist. It's one of these things where I was a pro skier, he was a pro snowboarder, our bassist was a pro skier and we just had this whole family style thing going around the local scene. "Toast" and I bonded really, really good, and we played off and on; and he went out and became a drum tech for like the best drummers in the world…and I always had a lot of respect for him. He didn't give up on his dreams. He always wanted to be a drummer on the pro level, and he had every bit of talent to do so. Here he was working with Josh Freese, and Matt Sorum, and Brian Tichy.
And then umm, the bass player… I had a record deal in Arizona where they moved me back from Germany, and it was this Christian rock deal where they threw a bunch of money at us, and I moved back there and I met Chris Serafini from being out in the clubs and I was a big fan of this producer who had a band called LET GO and he was the bass player for that, and I was like 'That guy can flat out play'. He's a good hang, he's a good mountain biker; "Toast" is a great snowboarder and skier. That was just umm… over the period of years meeting people like that.
And then I was shit-faced drunk down here in Florida in Miami, I'd just finished doing seven days of recording with KK Downing from JUDAS PRIEST and Yngwie Malmsteen. They just randomly found my voice, or my demo on uh, a Union management desk, you know Union Entertainment they handle NICKELBACK? And uh, it was real random, when we finished the record, I was just kind of baffled. I had just gotten a job to headline Laguna Seca Raceway for Red Bull, and my guitar player that I had been using just got the job for Miley Cyrus. And they were like "Dude, you should go down to the Keys. There's this kid that plays violin, he plays drums, he plays guitar, he plays bass. So I drove down there, and went into Dirty Harry's, I think it's called. And he was in the house band, he was playing like violin…and he had been on tour with the Van Zandt's as a multi-instrumentalist. And just solid, just good people, good southern style; and I flew him out two days later. We did a gig like ten days later in front of 7,000 people. That's ultimately the story behind each and every person.
And then once we got the record deal there was no like…I mean, I listened to some of the people in Hollywood…they were like "Dude you need a dude with tattoos", so I was working with a couple different people so the look was right and then I was like 'fuck this man!' I want family style and good people, and now we all own the business, and we're all like business partners together, and umm…yeah it's EASY!
AWAY-TEAM: That's gotta be a great feeling. Essentially you are running a business, and to be able to do it with your "family"? That's great!
MATT REARDON: We wouldn't be doing this if I'd had listened to all the fuck-heads in Hollywood sayin' "Oh he's gotta look like this, he's gotta do this" I mean umm…
AWAY-TEAM: (sarcastically) Yeah, there's gotta be the look.
MATT REARDON: Yeah, but there's also a feel that you can't buy.
AWAY-TEAM: And a voice that goes along with it, and you've got that voice.
MATT REARDON: You know it's funny, we were almost signed by Universal/Republic, the like top rock radio guy was like "I have the band that we're gonna sign". He ended up signing like eight bands that did nothing and they spent millions of dollars on them. And it's kind of nice because that certain gentleman is in our camp now working our stuff at radio independently for us. And the one guy, there was two, but the one guy at the end of it all was like "Well they're over thirty, it's too radio friendly, and I don't hear a hit", and that same guy just heard it and he didn't know, he only knew my last name…that same guy heard it under BLACK SUNSHINE and was like "This is a hit!" And he heard the same song, same shit-different day, two and a half years ago…
AWAY-TEAM: Under REARDON? (the name of Matt's former band)
MATT REARDON: Yeah. And he said it was too radio friendly and he didn't hear a hit, and I wrote that down. I was like 'That's the dumbest shit I ever heard in my life.' It's good though we're working with good people, we have a good team. This is Uncle Vern (points to Tour Manager Vern Stratton), he and I have stuck together through and through. He takes a lot of shit!
AWAY-TEAM: So the debut album…
MATT REARDON: Mmm-Hmm
AWAY-TEAM: It's been out there that it was the product of a horrific accident you suffered while you were skiing…
MATT REARDON: A couple of songs on it, yeah.
AWAY-TEAM: Tell me about that, how was the recovery, and all the surgeries and all of that? How'd that go?
MATT REARDON: I didn't really have a horrific accident, to be honest with you. If you've seen a poster of what I do, or you know what I do, if you've seen the videos…
AWAY-TEAM: Yeah, yeah.
MATT REARDON: So, I went into a hospital to get a routine procedure, I was down in New Zealand, and when I went into the hospital in France I contracted a staph infection from the hospital. Which then became, you know, I went from like hero-to-zero where it was a little bit like umm, I woke up the next day and they're like "We might have to amputate your leg, if this spreads any further. You have a serious problem with a staph infection". A staph infection, you get in a hospital. They sew you up and then you get it from being in the surgery room, and I had like the worst strain that you can get. And there's one anti-biotic called Vancomycin, that saved my life, and they opened me up like seven times and they cauterized everything, so I lost all the nerves in my leg, and umm, they burned everything to the point where I was like I had this gimp leg with no muscles. I couldn't ski again, I couldn't walk again, the right way and I ended up finding the right doctor. Took a second mortgage out with my parents to help pay for it, and I ended up getting like eleven surgeries, and an artificial meniscus, and grew my own cartilage in a Petri-dish for a year and they put it back in. So it was like surgery-after-surgery-after-surgery. That was just to where I could walk correctly, and you know, I couldn't even push in a clutch in a car. I wasn't supposed to be able to ski again, or run, or walk and I'm just fine. So it was a long process, and very character building but I'm actually skiing better now than I ever have in my entire life.
AWAY-TEAM: So you seem to be a bit of an adrenaline junkie…
MATT REARDON: (laughs) I like a challenge.
AWAY-TEAM: What's the bigger rush, jumping out of a helicopter? Or taking the stage?
MATT REARDON: It's really, you know, it's a lot in the same. When you're in Europe doing the freaky shit with the helicopters, it's like when I get down to the bottom I'm just so jacked! It's the same when I walk on stage, but it's kind of funny I'm getting really comfortable with walking out onto bigger stages. And it's cool, 'cuz I'm understanding the energy that you can control and translate out into a crowd. And we're just learning the big stage, I've done some bigger stages in Europe, but tonight was like a big pinnacle for us. And they're just two different animals, those two things; but they're one and the same you know what I mean? I don't know how to describe that really. You know, when you ski a big face in Alaska or a first descent, and you have an avalanche chasing you, you just cheated death, you beat Mother Nature and you kind of feel larger than life. You get the same feeling when you walk off after nailing a big show.
AWAY-TEAM: So I understand you worked on a movie soundtrack? Mount Saint Elias? Tell me about that.
MATT REARDON: It's a buddy of mine who is one of the world's best mountaineers…we used to be on a team together for about eight years, this guy Axel Naglich, he plotted to ski the longest ski run in world's history. The place where you do that is Alaska so you can ski down the fjord to the ocean from 20,000 feet. It's a dangerous, gnarliest, and one of the guys that taught me how to play guitar; which I wrote a song about him on my first album, which has been kind of an anthem for people that have passed away, which is called "White Room". He died on that mountain, and I knew about the mountain from that. Then Axel contacted me, and I'd worked with Red Bull before he said "Hey man, I'd like you to… 'cuz you know me, I'd like you to write a song. Because we're gonna spend all this money on Nothing Else Matters from METALLICA with the orchestra…Do you think you could do something like that?" I was like "In my sleep, no problem". So I submitted a few things, and then, they were like "Alright", and then Red Bull was like "Fuck it, let's hire the Vienna Orchestra". I happened to be in France, doing a film at the time, they flew me to Slovenia…and we worked with a composer there and mapped it all out…and then they liked that first thing, which was an insane type of ballad, kind of crazy, it's called "Second to None", and then, then they were supposed to license CREED's Higher, and they were like "Let's have Reardon do it. He sounds like CREED." So then I wrote a song called "Higher Ground" and then uh, they produced it and they liked it, and they just kept taking more. We just won Sundance for best sports documentary. It actually has won, almost every film festival that it has entered. If it hasn't won, it got second place; and only once it got third place. That's out of like, seventy different film festivals worldwide right now.
AWAY-TEAM: That's some heavy shit man. So when you write a song, does it go back to your sports roots?
MATT REARDON: With this guy, I know him, but… does Jack Johnson sing about surfing? No, he sings about life, you know, the trials and tribulations, and what you go through. And I knew what was going through his head, 'cuz I've done some gnarly shit, but, nothing like what he did. Because what he did was gnarlier than Mt. Everest times ten. He did it with skis on his back, and he did some fuckin' crazy shit. But umm, it's one of those things where you just tap into your own energy, and what feels best.
AWAY-TEAM: You can put your energy into somebody else's?
MATT REARDON: Oh Yeah, I've been submitting country music, lately. Because I like country. It came across my desk and somebody was like "Can you write a country song?" I was like, 'of course I can', I started out in Louisiana I grew up on Hank Williams Jr. It's about real stuff, real things that are happening in life, not just some pissed off music, ya know?
AWAY-TEAM: Growing up in Louisiana, how the HELL does a Louisiana boy end up becoming a world-class extreme skier?
MATT REARDON: (laughs) My aunt and uncle lived in Connecticut, and my dad was starting over, again for the second time in his life. He had his partner embezzle all his money, so me and my dad shared a room, shared a bed in my aunt's house. I finished high school, he was getting back up on his feet; and my uncle took me to see a ski movie, I was like 'I wanna do that, I'm gonna do that'. He took me skiing, and then I got hooked, and I bought a pass, and I was detailing cars for a living in high school, and bar backing. Got a job, and worked, worked, worked…didn't get into the college of my choice, was trying to go to UVM, and then umm, I ended up getting a bar back job and joined the Killington Mogul Team. I trained in aerials…
AWAY-TEAM: What part of Connecticut?
MATT REARDON: I graduated from Avon High School.
AWAY-TEAM: Are you kidding me? I used to work in Avon all the time. I'm from Holyoke, MA!
MATT REARDON: Right on! (punches fist)
AWAY-TEAM: Matt, thanks for your time, and good luck. I know you'll go far.
MATT REARDON: Thanks dude, I appreciate it.

I Love watching these beautiful views of Italy. I enjoy hearing the descriptions of what I am seeing. Plus just listening to the music version as well. Nice to be able to choose which way one likes to listen. I also have the one of Scotland given to us as a gift. Which is why I looked for and bought this one of Italy. It is truly wonderful and what I was looking for. I do wish there was a map showing the route.

The Internet as a disseminator of information can be invaluable, but the development of some Web sites that dispense medical advice, and even some that provide prescription refills at large discounts, bother me.
I will not give the Internet addresses for these sites because I am not convinced they are in the best interest of the consumer. Anyone who watches TV today has probably already been exposed to some of them, but call me old fashion, if I need a doctor, I want to see a doctor. And hopefully, so do you.
I want to emphasize medical information found on the Web is just that, information. There are no doctors with offices on the Internet. Only a physician who sees the patient in person and who is allowed to run all necessary medical tests can be expected to provide accurate medical advise.
The consumer, in my opinion, also makes a poor doctor. To borrow and twist an old saying, the doctor who tries to heal himself has a fool for a patient. If youre sick, see your family physician. Do not depend on information gleaned from the Internet to treat yourself.
Now that I have all necessary disclaimers posted, I want to offer The United States National Library of Medicine as one site people seeking medical information might want to try.
The library of medicine, located at http://www.nim.nih.gov/ is not for the neophyte researcher. The site offers links to health information, including Medline, Medline plus, and other resources. There is also a large database of publications, information on research programs, and general information on visiting the library, directories, and frequently asked questions.
This is one of those sites where professionals might well find more information than the laymen. It is also a site that could easily lose surfers in a quagmire of articles and information they dont really want to read.
MedicineNet.com at www.medicinenet.com/Script/Main/hp.asp helps to bring the information into the range of usable information to the consumer.
A menu on the left side of the page offers quick and easy access to Diseases and Treatments, Procedures and Tests, The Pharmacy, a medical dictionary, first aid, and poison control centers.
Simply click on one of the topics you want to research and you will get a quick, simple and easy-to-read explanation of what the ailment is and the most common means to treat it. You also will find a list of drugs used for treatment and explanations of what they are, how they are used, what they do, and side effects.
The best thing about the site is how easy it is to find your way around and obtain the information you are looking for while still providing a large library of topics.
While I recommend this site for people wanting to expand their personal knowledge, one of its beauties is its lack of medical advice. The site provides information without pushing this or that cure.
To re-emphasize what I said before: First, go to your family doctor. If, after you have learned what your ailment is, you want additional information, you may find it on this site.

A BUDGET airline stewardess will keep her job despite being exposed as a part-time porn star.
Ryanair hostess Edita Schindlerova, 22, secretly appears on X-rated websites posing as Edita Bente, reports The Sun.
But airline bosses have supported Miss Schindlerova, despite appearing in graphic photos showing her having sex with a mystery man.
"What people do before or after they work for us is their business," a Ryanair spokesman told The Sun.
The paper claims the stewardess has confessed her raunchy antics to colleagues, telling one pal: "I had this **** a year ago with a pilot with nothing better to do than check the Internet."
Miss Bente, who operates out of Stansted, Essex, also features in Ryanair's 2009 calendar wearing silver high heels and a purple bikini.

Recap: Kobe, Lakers outlast Mavs despite Dirk's best efforts
Recap: Lakers 103 at Mavericks 99
Kobe, Lakers outlast Mavs despite Dirk's best efforts
DALLAS — Much has changed since the Dallas Mavericks handed the Los Angeles Lakers a season-opening 99-91 loss on their own floor back on Oct. 30.
For two teams that had high hopes and playoff aspirations coming into the 2012-13 season, the journey has been long and winding since the Mavericks captured that win in the Staples Center to kick-start their season. Still, with the season series knotted at 1-1 after the Lakers returned the favor with a 115-89 rout at the American Airlines Center on Nov. 24, the two teams again collided in a Sunday matinee in Dallas with hopes of making a second-half playoff push.
The Mavs also hoped to capture the third meeting as they continued to eye the postseason, sitting one game behind the Lakers in the Western Conference standings and four games behind Houston entering the day for the eighth and final playoff spot. But instead the Lakers (28-29) would again walk off Dallas' home floor with a win under their belt, outlasting the Mavericks (25-30) in a 103-99 thriller.
"It's another tough one. I mean, it seems like it's a theme of the year," 11-time All-Star Dirk Nowitzki said after the loss. "We're always right there in some of those games and we can never pull them off. And if you want to be a playoff team, you've got to find a way to win at least half of them. We finally pulled one out in New Orleans the other day, but we haven't really won those close games at a high clip, so that's really going to hurt us. This was another game that we needed to have against a team that's right there with us in the hunt and just not good enough.
"It was a big game, obviously, and on the national TV stage. You know, it was a fun one, and we just came up a little short. But the Lakers are always a fun game. The crowd here is always into it. So yeah, it was definitely a fun game."
The Mavs would find themselves in an early hole after falling behind 7-2 out of the gate, before receiving a boost from a technical foul call on perennial All-Star Kobe Bryant at the 9:16 mark of the opening quarter for arguing with officials. Dallas also forced two fouls on Lakers center Dwight Howard with 7:56 left in the first, forcing the big man to the bench. The Mavs then claimed their first lead at 13-12 after four-time All-Star Shawn Marion leaked out for a transition score.
But with Bryant off to a hot start and Antawn Jamison giving the Lakers a lift off the L.A. bench, it took every bit of Nowitzki's nine first-quarter points to take a 30-27 edge into the second period.
With reserve guard Jodie Meeks coming alive in the second stanza, the Lakers continued to get a strong effort out of their bench while regaining the lead with a 13-4 run to open the quarter. Mavs center Chris Kaman then made his much-anticipated return to the lineup after missing 10 games due to a concussion, immediately jumping into the scoring with a tip-in on a miss by point guard Darren Collison to bring the Mavs within two, 43-41.
The Lakers immediately responded with back-to-back 3-pointers by Bryant and ex-Mav Steve Nash, however, to keep the home team at bay. But a thunderous slam by sixth man Vince Carter would keep the Mavs within an arm's reach while exciting the crowd, before Nowitzki continued his first-half assault with a driving three-point play.
Back-to-back scores by backup big man Brandan Wright then helped the Mavs tie the game at 54-all heading into the halftime intermission.
Led by Nowitzki's 16-point, eight-rebound half to keep pace with Bryant's 16 points, five rebounds and six assists to lead the Lakers, the Mavericks found themselves even at the midway mark while outshooting the visitors, 51.3 percent to 41.5 percent. The Mavs also held a 23-20 rebounding edge and a 26-14 advantage in points in the paint to overcome their eight turnovers in the first two quarters.
Opting to start veteran big man Elton Brand over rookie center Bernard James to open the second half, Mavs coach Rick Carlisle saw his team open the third period with a score by Brand and a corner 3 by Collison to gain the upper hand on the scoreboard. But Bryant continued to fire away, before Nash answered Nowitzki's 3 with a trey of his own to force a timeout by Carlisle with the Mavs down 67-62 and 7:51 left in the third.
Mavs leading scorer O.J. Mayo then connected on his first field goal with a floater in the lane after missing the three prior shot attempts and scoring just three points in the first half. Nowitzki then again took matters into his own hands, collecting his 10th rebound of the night before swishing in a 3 from the top of the key to give the Mavs a 71-70 edge with 3:34 left in the quarter.
"With national TV and long timeouts, he looked like he was fresher," Carlisle said of Nowitzki. "And I think that's also a good sign going forward."
Bryant and Nowitzki then exchanged scores before the Lakers surged ahead and took a 79-75 lead into the final 12 minutes of play.
With Howard struggling at the foul line, the Mavs remained close before taking an 82-80 edge on rookie Jae Crowder's 3 with 9:06 left on the game clock. The Mavs then collectively responded to an array of scores by Bryant, going ahead 90-87 midway through the fourth when point guard Mike James fed Nowitzki for a transition slam.
But, after working on Metta World Peace down low and not receiving a foul call, Nowitzki was assessed a technical of his own with 5:48 remaining for giving an earful to the officials. Howard then tied the game at 90-all with 5:09 left for either team to take control down the stretch.
Splitting a pair at the foul line with 4:01 left, Howard put the Lakers ahead before Mayo was called for a technical after arguing as well following his fifth foul of the night on a drive by Bryant. Mayo would get his revenge, however, draining a 3 to bring the Mavs within one shortly before Nash's long-range bomb that forced a timeout by Carlisle with his team trailing 99-95 and 1:12 left to answer.
Nowitzki wasn't done, drawing Howard's fifth foul with a lefty score inside before connecting on another jumper to reach the 30-point plateau. World Peace then cashed in on 1 of 2 at the foul line to put the Mavs in a 102-99 hole with 16.8 seconds remaining to tie.
But the Mavs would miss on their opportunity to draw even after a timeout by Carlisle led to a broken play with Carter feeding Mayo in the corner for a miss from behind the arc, leading to Carter's foul on Bryant and the sharpshooter's split trip to the charity stripe to go up four with 3.9 seconds left.
"We were trying to get a good quick two if we could, and if the 3 presented itself, we wanted to step into it. You know, I don't know if [Mayo] even got behind the line, but you know, it was a look. It wasn't a great one, but, you know, there's too many other things we hadn't done well that put us in that position leading up to that point really over three quarters. That's just how those things go," Carlisle said of the sequence.
Carter then missed from 3 before the final buzzer sounded.
"Definitely a missed opportunity," Brand concluded. "It's like a two-game swing. You know, we had it. We were right in it till the end, took a few leads and just couldn't finish off. Kobe got hot and that hurt us. Definitely a two-game swing. We needed this one with so much at stake."
"Just weren't good enough to get the stops we needed," Nowitzki added. "Just made some errors, and that comes back to bite you against good teams."
Finishing with season highs in points and rebounding, Nowitzki also collected his first double-double of the season with 30 points and 13 rebounds, hitting 11 of his 19 shots.
"You know, it always comes back to if I would have been in this shape all season long. I'd probably think we'd be right there or might be in the playoffs," Nowitzki admitted. "But I wasn't. I missed almost two months. I've been fighting back a long time and obviously that didn't help. Now, we're in this situation. We've got to make the best of it and try to keep battling. We've got a lot of big games coming up and we play Houston twice. We play some of the other teams that are right in front of us, so we've got to make the best out of it and keep pushing."
Off the bench, Carter added 15 points and Brand recorded 14 points to add support.
Bryant, meanwhile, led the Lakers with a game-high 38 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists.
"He was in a groove," Carter said when summing up Bryant's night. "He got rolling early and we got him taking the pump-fake shot into his fadeaway. When he's making that, it's just tough."
"I think he was rolling today," Nowitzki added. "He made some tough shots, especially at the beginning of the fourth. He got them going. … We wanted to try to mix it up on Kobe and sometimes play him one on one or sometimes bring the help early, but he made some tough shots. It's not like he was wide open all night. A couple of the 3s were like from 30 feet, so he was spectacular."
The Lakers' 47.2 percent shooting also bettered the Mavs' 44.8 percent, hitting 13 of 25 from 3-point range and ending the night with a 45-44 rebounding edge as well to overcome Dallas' 44-24 advantage in points in the paint.
"I think when we look at it on film, we're going to see a lot of other missed opportunities offensively and other things we could have done defensively that were unrelated to [Bryant] that would have put us in position to win," Carlisle concluded.
"It's one game that we felt we could have won. We just didn't win it and we didn't get it done, so we have to win the next one. … Every game's a big game, so this is not any different from playing anybody else. I don't care about the players or the records on the floor. We need to win games, so every game we play is a big game right now," Carter said while looking ahead.
