Famous because it's the beach where Nurse Nellie washes that man out of her hair in South Pacific, Lumahai Beach's setting is all you've ever dreamed Hawaii to be. That's the drawing card, and if you're adventurous and safety-conscious, a visit here is definitely worth it. The challenges are that it's hard to find, there's little parking, and there's a steep hike in; also, too many people misjudge the waves, even those never intending to set foot in the water. There's a year-round surge of onshore waves, massive sand movements (especially around the river mouth), and a steep foreshore assaulted by strong currents. Like the mythical creature from the deep, rogue waves have actually washed up on lava-rock outcroppings and pulled sightseers out to sea. Our advice: Look from the safety of the scenic overlook or walk on dry sand only. Or, take advange of Lumahai's length and find adequate parking 1/2 mi. further where the river comes in. Amenities: none. Best For: solitude; walking; sunset.
One of the most spectacular beaches on the South Shore is inaccessible by land unless you tour the National Tropical Botanical Garden's Allerton Garden, which we highly recommend, or trespass behind locked fences, which we don't recommend. On the tour, you'll see the beach, but you won't lounge on it or frolic in the calm water behind the promontory on the eastern point of the beach. One way to legally access the beach on your own is by paddling a kayak 1 mi from Kukuiula Harbor. However, you have to rent the kayaks elsewhere and haul them on top of your car to the harbor. Also, the wind and waves usually run westward, making the in-trip a breeze but the return trip a workout against Mother Nature. Another way is to boulder-hop along the coast from Spouting Horn—a long trek over sharp lava rock that we do not recommend. Do not attempt this beach in any manner during a south swell. Amenities: none. Best For: solitude; sunrise.
The long, wide fringing reef here is this beach's trademark. The waters near shore are often too shallow for swimming; if you go in, wear a rash guard to protect against prickly sea urchins and sharp coral on the bottom. High surf during the winter of 2009 blew out a section of reef, creating some tricky currents for the novice oceangoer. And there have been a number of drownings and near-drownings here. A recent land disagreement cut off the traditional trail down to the beach. Now, like many other North Shore beaches, this one requires a hike along a steep, rocky trail.Slippery when wet. Amenities: parking. Best For: solitude; sunrise; nudists.
This is a great beach to sit and people-watch as diving and fishing boats, kayakers, and canoe paddlers head out to sea. Shore and throw-net fishermen frequent this harbor as well. It's not a particularly large harbor, so it retains a quaint sense of charm, unlike Nawiliwili Harbor or Port Allen. The bay is a nice, protected area for limited swimming, but with all the boat traffic kicking up sand and clouding the water, it's probably not good for snorkeling. Outside the breakwater, there is a decent surf spot. Amenities: showers; toilets; parking. Best For: solitude; swimming; sunrise.
Few—except the public relations specialists at the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa, which backs the beach—refer to this beach by anything other than its common name: Shipwreck Beach. Its Hawaiian name means "long beach." Both make sense. It is a long stretch of crescent-shape beach punctuated by cliffs on both ends, and, yes, a ship once wrecked here. With its onshore break, the waters off Shipwreck are best for body boarding and bodysurfing; however, the beach itself is plenty big for sunbathing, sand-castle building, Frisbee, and other beach-related fun. The eastern edge of the beach is the start of an interpretive dune walk (complimentary) held by the hotel staff; check with the concierge for dates and times. Amenities: parking, showers, toilets; food and drink. Best for: surfing; walking; sunrise
Highway 560 on the North Shore literally dead-ends at this beach, which is also the trailhead for the famous Kalalau Trail and the site of an ancient heiau dedicated to hula. The beach is protected by a reef—except during high surf—creating a small sandy-bottom lagoon and making it a popular snorkeling destination. If there's a current, it's usually found on the western edge of the beach as the incoming tide ebbs back out to sea. Makana (a prominent peak also known as Bali Hai after the blockbuster musical South Pacific) is so artfully arranged that you'll want to capture the memory, so don't forget your camera. The popularity of this beach often makes parking difficult. Start extra early or, better yet, arrive at the end of the day, in time to witness otherworldly sunsets sidelighting Napali Coast. Amenities: lifeguards; parking; showers, toilets. Best For: swimming; snorkeling; sunset; walking.
This is one of the premier spots on Kauai for sunset walks and the start of the state's longest beach. We don't recommend much water activity here without first talking to a lifeguard: The beach is exposed to open ocean and has an onshore break that can be hazardous any time of year. However, there are some excellent surf breaks—for experienced surfers only. Or, if you would like to run on a beach, this is the one—the hard-packed sand goes on for miles, all the way to Napali Coast, but you won't get past the Pacific Missile Range Facility and its post-9/11 restrictions. Another bonus for this beach is its relatively dry weather year-round. If it's raining where you are, try Kekaha Beach Park. Toilets here are the portable kind. Amenities: lifeguards; showers; toilets; parking. Best For: sunset; walking; surfing.
A half-mile long and adjacent to the highway heading north out of Kapaa, Kealia Beach attracts bodyboarders and surfers year-round (possibly because the local high school is just up the hill). Kealia is not generally a great beach for swimming or snorkeling. The waters are usually rough and the waves crumbly because of an onshore break (no protecting reef) and northeasterly trade winds. A scenic lookout on the southern end, accessed off the highway, is a superb location for saluting the morning sunrise or spotting whales during winter. A level, paved trail follows the coastline north and is one of the most scenic coastal trails on the island for walking, running, and biking. Amenities: lifeguard; parking; showers; toilets. Best For: surfing; swimming; walking; sunrise.
This beach went relatively unknown—except by some intrepid fishermen, of course—for a long time, hence the common reference to it as "Secret Beach." You'll understand why once you stand on the shore of Kauapea and see the solid wall of rock 100 feet high, maybe more, that cups the length of the beach, making it fairly inaccessible. For the hardy, there is a steep hike down the western end. From there, if you make the long trek across the beach—toward Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge—and if you arrive just after sunrise, you may witness a school of dolphins just offshore. You may also run across a gathering of another kind on the beach—nudists. Because of its remote location, Kauapea is popular with nude sunbathers, although the county is trying to curtail the shedding of clothes here. A consistent on-shore break makes swimming here questionable. Amenities: parking. Best For: solitude; walking; surfing.
Five minutes south of the airport in Lihue, you'll find this wide, sandy-bottom beach fronting the Kauai Marriott. This beach is almost always safe from rip currents and undertows because it's around the backside of a peninsula, in its own cove. There are tons of activities here, including all the usual water sports—beginning and intermediate surfing, bodyboarding, bodysurfing, and swimming—plus, there are two outrigger canoe clubs paddling in the bay and the Nawiliwili Yacht Club's boats sailing around the harbor. Kalapaki is the only place on Kauai where sailboats—in this case Hobie Cats—are available for rent (at Kauai Beach Boys, which fronts the beach next to Duke's Canoe Club restaurant). Visitors can also rent snorkel gear, surfboards, bodyboards, and kayaks from Kauai Beach Boys. A volleyball court on the beach is often used by a loosely organized group of local players; visitors are always welcome. Families prefer the stream end of the beach, whereas those seeking more solitude will prefer the cliff side of the beach. Duke's Canoe Club restaurant is one of only a couple of restaurants on the island actually on a beach; the restaurant's lower level is casual, even welcoming beach attire and sandy feet, perfect for lunch or an afternoon cocktail. Amenities: parking; showers; toilets; water sports; food and drink. Best For: swimming; surfing; partiers; walking. www.kalapakibeach.org.

Bluegrass vocalist and fiddler Rhonda Vincent began her professional music career at the age of five, playing drums with her family's band, the Sally Mountain Show. She picked up the mandolin at eight and the fiddle at ten, performing with the family band at festivals on weekends. After appearing on TNN's nationally televised You Can Be a Star program in her mid-twenties, Vincent struck out on her own, singing with the Grand Ole Opry's Jim Ed Brown, eventually leading to a deal with Rebel Records. Her work with Brown and her Rebel recordings caught the attention of Giant Nashville's president, James Stroud, who signed Vincent to record two contemporary country albums. After her time at Giant, she moved to Rounder Records, and demonstrated her passion for the traditional music she grew up with, on Back Home Again. A car accident in December 1999 kept her from a planned trip to Nashville for auditions, so she hired her band (unusually named the Rage) through the Internet. Rhonda Vincent and the Rage have been gaining popularity at bluegrass festivals since their formation, playing hard-driving, high-energy contemporary bluegrass music. Her 2001 album The Storm Still Rages was nominated for seven International Bluegrass Music Association awards, including Female Vocalist of the Year, while fiddle player Michael Cleveland and banjo player Tom Adams earned nominations in their respective instrumental categories. A three-year unbroken string of IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year awards led to the 2003 release of One Step Ahead, another tour, and another well-deserved showering of critical praise. Recorded in front of a hometown crowd in St. Louis, Ragin' Live arrived in 2005, followed by All American Bluegrass Girl in 2006, Good Thing Going in 2008, and Destination Life in 2009. ~ Zac Johnson

Full review
Another year, another fresh crop of Apple iMacs. Last year's model was pretty special, introducing a new body design and packing the touch-sensitive Magic Mouse. This time it's the innards that have evolved -- a new load of processors is the basis of Apple's latest harvest. This 21.5-inch model of ours, packing a 3.06GHz Intel Core i3 processor, will set you back £1,000 -- but is it worth it?
Bare-faced chic
The design hasn't changed much -- Apple has stuck with the aluminium unibody, and we have to say we're pleased. Machined from a single block of aluminium, if this computer had pores, class would be oozing from every single one. Each edge is delightfully sharp and precise, and we can't help but like the Spartan, minimalistic approach Apple has taken. A glossy black Apple logo is the only decoration you'll find on the front of this all-in-one, with all the functional bits and bobs relegated to the sides or rear of the machine.
Down the right side you'll find a DVD rewritable drive and an SDXC card slot, while the left side is completely bare. Round the back, connectivity is still pretty sparse -- apart from the power switch, you'll get a 3.5mm headphone jack and an audio line-in socket, four USB ports, a FireWire 800 port, DisplayPort and Ethernet port.
You'll also get an Apple Magic Mouse in the box, which, in our experience, can get uncomfortable with extended use. There's an Apple Wireless Keyboard included, which leaves an impressively small footprint, but if you're going to be doing a whole lot of typing you might want to upgrade to something a little bigger and more comfortable.
The design is indisputably beautiful, and we've never seen an all-in-one as smooth and elegant (not since the last one, at least). In saying that, the sparse aesthetic has its drawbacks. Reaching around the back of the iMac to plug in your headphones or USB peripherals could well prove annoying, as could having to get your hand around the back to hit the power button. We're not convinced that four USB ports is really enough to cater to the peripheral-hungry youth of today, either. Unless you already own all the necessary connectors and adaptors, outputting video via DisplayPort is quite a hassle.
The lack of clutter on the face of this machine gives the screen a chance to shine. It's just as well, because this 21.5-inch LED-backlit panel looks rather stunning. It's incredibly bright and vivid -- enough so that it's able to cancel out all the annoying reflections you'd normally find on a panel this glossy. It boasts a maximum resolution of 1,920x1,080 pixels, so hi-res imagery and video rendered on this screen will look pleasingly sharp. We threw some of our favourite 1080p video content at this display, and found it so bright and clear our eyeballs almost evaporated.
Working hard or hardly working?
When our vision returned to normal, we took a look at what's inside this iMac. This new line introduces Intel's Core iSeries. The 21.5-inch version is available with either a Core i3 or Core i5 processor, while the larger 27-incher comes with i3, i5 or i7 options. If you do decide to upsize, you'll also have the option to choose quad-core iterations of the i5 and i7 CPUs -- ideal for those who like their computer grunty (and their wallet empty).
Our review sample is the weakest possible configuration, but it's also the cheapest. Our iMac has a dual-core Intel Core i3 processor clocked at 3.06GHz, backed up by 4GB of DDR3 RAM and an ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics card. There's also a 500GB hard drive lurking in the belly of this beast.
So how does the weakest configuration of this machine perform? Very capably, we found. This computer is a million miles from sluggish, and we didn't find it struggling with any of the tasks we threw at it, including playing back some 1080p video content. Our iMac scored 202.71 when we ran the Xbench Mac benchmark test. For a sense of perspective, this 27-inch Core 2 Duo iMac we reviewed last October scored 190.52.
If you're looking for something to handle cutting-edge gaming, or you're in a line of work where you need something capable of handling CPU-intensive tasks (video editing for example), it would be wise to opt for a more powerful configuration. If, on the other hand, you're looking for a home desktop machine to handle ordinary computing and video playback, we reckon you'll do fine with this configuration.
It's a pricey piece of kit, but there's actually some very reasonable hardware stuffed inside this Apple iMac, and the high cost is justified by the impeccable build quality and an impressive display. Our only real gripes are with the relatively paltry connectivity options, and having to reach around the back of the darned thing to plug in a USB stick.
If you're all about the connectivity, check out the similarly priced MSI Wind Top AE2400. It isn't as slick, but it offers a tonne of connectivity options, including a TV tuner.

I have another account. I am posting anonymously because Im afraid this may be a dumb question.
Im in my late 20s. I have no degree. Im going back to school to major in something not related to art. My goal is to be an artist but I do not want to major in art. I have been through an atelier program so I dont think art school can teach me much that I do not already know. I want a degree for the sake of having one. I'm motivated by an interest in learning something. I heard some companies such as Disney will throw out your resume if you do not have a degree.
The problem is .. my friend is trying to convince me I will never make it as an artist if I study something other than art. They think I am giving up on my career and ruining my chances of success. I think this is wrong but I thought I might get a more informed opinion from the people of this forum.
Portfolio was everything when I started. I assume that's still true. Maybe some programs are degree-conscious -- a corporate gig probably would be. But most places, if you've got a killer portfolio and can deliver as promised, that's what they're looking for.
I was once on the receiving end of a critique so savagely nasty, I marched straight out of class to the office and changed my major (sketchbook).
I know about this. I need to assure myself and the people trying to tell me what to do that I can still develop a portfolio at my age. Some think I am too old to be successful. With each passing year success goes farther and farther way.
There are a few things you have written that are disturbing to me so I'll address these things specifically.
By posting anonymously, you avoid the "taint" of sounding like and idiot on your real account, but it means we can't see your art. If school doesn't have anything to teach you anymore because you are very good and atelier educated, shouldn't you be a professional artist by now? It seems not because then you say:
And even more disturbing, in a different post you say:
Which means that you don't have a portfolio. What good is all the time and money you have sunken in your atelier education if you spend the next 3-4 years doing something unrelated to art for the sake of putting a paper on your wall?
I doubt their animation department will be much impressed in a degree unrelated to art. It's like going to a hospital and say you are a doctor of fine arts. Also, many smaller companies would be impressed by the portfolio and don't care about the degree, and the good people at Disney won't care about your degree if you have both a portfolio and extensive experience elsewhere.
That's an awful lot of money and time to "learn something" have you ever thought about, I don't know, reading books or listening to educational podcasts? What is it? Are you trying to put off facing the real world? It's hard to tell with absolutely no background information, but do you like doing art or did you just like the idea of doing art?

People that think that are just trying to rationalize their own shortcomings or lack of ambition. Who on earth would tell anyone in their 20s or 30s they are too old for anything? Probably not anyone who is old enough to know better.
With each passing year success will still be there for you. You just have to make the move and stop watching years go by. And stop listening to people who tell you you can't do something, especially because of age. That's absurd. Listen to yourself.
There is no need to get a degree or go to art school, if your work is good people will never ask if you have a degree or something

This seems odd to me? Why wouldn't you want to major in art if that is your goal and you want a degree? Not to mention you say "art" like it's one thing...what kind of "artist" do you want to be? And more importantly...why?I have another account. I am posting anonymously because I'm afraid this may be a dumb question.

Couldn't agree more. That's one of the best things about being an artist imho...you learn about and touch on so many different aspects of life and history. I just personally don't think it's very realistic to work toward a degree that has nothing to do with art and at the same time build a professional, competitive portfolio and become a successful artist. Like I said...sounds odd to say say your goal is to be an artist...and I'll achieve that by becoming a biologist over the next three years.

If I remember correctly, James Gurney got his first degree in Anthropology before he went to art school where he became roommates with Thomas Kinkade. I'm not sure what his rationale was. But, I wouldn't be surprised that it was that whole middle-class professional parents wanting you to get a "real degree" kind of thing. (Plus, I think Gurney has a passionate interest in the sciences that influences his art.)Couldn't agree more. That's one of the best things about being an artist imho...you learn about and touch on so many different aspects of life and history. I just personally don't think it's very realistic to work toward a degree that has nothing to do with art and at the same time build a professional, competitive portfolio and become a successful artist. Like I said...sounds odd to say say your goal is to be an artist...and I'll achieve that by becoming a biologist over the next three years.
Some exeptional good artist can get there without an art degree. Others need the school to learn to find their own style, to talk about their work, to learn new things,...
But you want to be an artist you say. Why do you want a degree for an other profession? When you are a (full time) artist, you can't do another job. You have to choose: a job and keeping art as a hobby or second job, or going for art all the way.
I admit I am afraid to start a career as an artist, because I know how much work it will be. Once I get started I'm afraid I won't have any time to develop any other interests, such as writing skills. I'm not skilled at organization or time management, and I think pursuing an education would be a good way to develop those skills, without the risk of being fired. I'm not getting a non-art degree just because I think I'm so great I don't need to study art. Sorry if it comes across that way. I have already been to art school but I left because they are not good at teaching and I am not good enough to work around their "screaming tantrum" style of instruction.
To tell you the truth, I actually am considering going to art school (somewhere other than the one I have already been to..). I want to get an associates in something else beforehand, so I can be sure I am ready for the amount of work. I need to prove to my parents I am actually capable of doing well at school. They will not risk funding an expensive art school education otherwise.
My portfolio is only academic studies. I'm working on a portfolio that focuses more on imaginative realism. I suppose in a way I am already an artist, I have sold some things in a gallery, but not nearly to the point where I can support myself on that alone. I know this is difficult to verify since I'm not posting any of my work, but I like doing art a lot. I don't just like the idea of it.
No, not really. Education is lax enough that if you're reasonably smart you can get through a degree while learning dick-all about time management skills. You know you can fudge things because there's no real consequences, and most of the profs don't give a shit. I learned way more time management on the job by having real consequences to screwing up and even more by having a job and working on my art projects after work.
I think you should get a job, if you can. You should risk being fired. You should get some experience being a responsible adult who gets shit done. If after that you decide to get an education in either art or non-art, it will be because you have a better idea of what you want and you will have a better chance of succeeding.

"There are two kinds of students: the self-taught and the hopeless."
- Dr. Piotr Rudnicki
Ok, I get it. I do. However, art is not a 'thing'; it is a lifestyle. It is a commitment to yourself and the world to keep creativity alive. That being said, I am working on my B.S. in Digital Design and Animation. I am 32, I have a husband, 2 boys, am currently taking 20 credits at school, and am a manager of a finance department at a local college. I have all of that going on AND I still work on my art every day. I know I'm not the best and I know I have a lot to learn but I love art and getting my skills right so I find the time to do what I have passion for. It all depends on who you ask and where you are hoping to end up if you should further your education or not. A killer portfolio may be the key or you may need education but if you're going to rely on your portfolio, how are you going to show an art director you can do charcoal art if you've never worked with it? Your portfolio has to highlight your skills.
Getting an education means you've (hopefully) been instructed in the right ways to do things but it's only a foundation. Even with an education, you have to perfect your skills. An education is priceless and can never be taken away from you but if you're relying on JUST your education to get you through, you're in for a rude awakening. My full time job has nothing to do with art but it gets the bills paid. My art is part of who I am but being mature and responsible is also part of any career choice. And ummm, since when is age such a determining factor? If you're trying to make it big in the art world but you think you can't learn from school...you may need a huge piece of humble pie.
I wish you all the best.
Yeah, because his dream was to find Incan ruins and draw them and stuff like that. It was actually related to what he wanted to do. In a way, Dinotopia is fake anthropology.
I have read interviews with him, and if I recall correctly, he was not planning to do ancient ruins art when he started. He studied anthropology because he had a real interest. Later he found a way to combine his two main interests.
From his website:
I would say he didn't just pick a random degree for the sake of having a degree or to put off doing art. And the OP didn't ask about James Gurney, there's only one James Gurney and he paints so much, he probably paints in his sleep. It's hard to put oneself against someone like that.Where did you go to college?
I went to the University of California at Berkeley, but I didn't take any classes in the art department there. Instead I sought out the archaeology and paleontology professors and asked them if they needed an artist to render artifacts. They let me loose in the vast Kroeber Museum collection. One of the things I got to do for school credit was to render Egyptian scarab carvings for a scientific publication. After participating in an actual archaeological dig, I decided to major in anthropology. I then went on to study drawing and painting at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.
I'm pretty sure in Arizona they can ask you to present your art degree if they have probable cause to suspect you're creating art illegally...
While I can't speak to the relative value of a degree (mine is in art, but hasn't yet proven to be worth the paper it's printed on) I'll second Vineris on this - college is a pretty poor way of learning time management, probably because that's not what they're teaching you (they're teaching you biology, or slavic literature, or women's studies...) and depending on the rigor of your chosen major you may be able to get by on the four-star organization technique of last-minute panic. Better to seek out books/courses/people who teach time management as a subject in and of itself, which it really is.
(PS - School can fire you, too. The only difference is that you'll be paying them to do it.)
malice, whimsy, and illustration.
No. There are places that will do tests to make sure you can draw. Why the hell would a degree prove you still drew that portfolio? It just says you took the courses. Considering places like the Art Institute have given out degrees for crap work - it means nothing.
Think about this for a second. Which is the easier way to determine if someone actually draws?
1. Pull out a Degree
2. Have that person draw...
Then again, I could just not hire that person and go with someone else if there is that kind of doubt.

i think it's a good idea to get a degree thats not art related you never know if the art thing will works out.
I was in a similar dilemma as you, a bunch of years back. I wanted to do art but I wasn't sure of the whole thing, stability, future proof-ness etc. So I pursued architecture and worked on my skills throughout the course. But that's a lie I'd say, cause when I got involved with architecture with the passing of years, I got more and more distanced from my art side (assignments, projects and all the stuff). I didn't do event 10% the work I had wanted to do on art.
Honestly, it wasn't entirely my choice to pursue architecture, my dad pushed me in. All the while I wanted to go into animation. But I realized the good part of having done a degree different to what I love doing after I'd done with Arch; I have something to fall back onto, in case art doesn't work out as a career for me. And in India, the society kicks you in the butt on a daily basis if you don't have a degree, so more of a reason why doing this was a good reason too. I travel to the Middle East frequently as well, you need a degree for certain types of Visas.
So what I'm doing now is working as an architect for a couple of years (for the work experience; backup, you can call it) all the while pursuing iAnimate (an online animation course, I'm onto my second semester soon) and also Scott Eaton's Anatomy course. Its a stressful schedule, but it helps my conscience. The whole process is also motivating me indirectly.
I didn't ask anyone an opinion of what I should do, I'm just doing what I feel is right. Playing it safe, in a way. Hopefully this gives you a better idea of possibilities.
Don't bother looking at my sketchbook. I haven't updated that thing in years. :/
WTF is this shit and why doesn't it go away?? For an artistic position they only care about your portfolio. Full stop. (well. you should also be easy to get along with and meet your deadlines - but that's harder to tell right away.)
yeah the whole late 20s thing is nonsense, i fel like i learn quicker and work harder now than i ever did before; like ver, reason; i got a wacom for xmas at 28.
now theres years to catch up on is all...

I can only speak for myself, but going to college and getting a non-art related degree when I knew I wanted to be an artist was the worst choice I've ever made in my life. (although in my case it was a choice made because of finances, not because I wanted it) Now I have a worthless degree in something that couldn't even get me a job, and I can't go back to a traditional art school since I screwed up by already getting a degree.
You don't get any chances to do things over. If you go to college, that's it. Are you sure you don't want to get an education that's actually relevant to your desired career? Why invest all th etime and money into getting a degree if you're not planning on using it? It doesn't make sense. You say you're interested in learning something and getting a degree for the sake of it... What makes you think you won't learn anything if you go to art school or that the experiences there are somehow lacking compared to non-art universities?
If you are going to pursue a different degree, what will it be in? I could see a business degree being useful to an artist. You could then minor or double-major in studio art, or illustration, or what have you.

In some ways, technology has evolved in a way that puts mere humans in a bind. Consider the email conundrum. From the moment you wake up, it seems the inbox is calling your name. And if you're like most of us, you answer its call pretty quickly.
"The brain hates uncertainty," says David Rock, the CEO of Results Coaching Systems and author of "Your Brain at Work." "It's literally painful to not download your email the moment you arrive at your desk in the morning. But once you've processed 30 or 40 emails, you've ruined your brain chemistry for higher level tasks that are going to create value."
In fact, a University of London study done for Hewlett-Packard found that "infomania" — a term connected with addiction to email and texting — can lower your IQ by twice as much as smoking marijuana. Moreover, email can raise the levels of noradrenaline and dopamine in your brain by constantly introducing new stimuli into your day. When those levels get too high, complex thinking becomes more difficult, making it harder to make decisions and solve problems — key roles for all managers.
In short, the brain's capacity for decision-making evolved at a time when people had less to think about. Great, so now you have an excuse for not keeping up. But you still need a game plan.
1. Take control of email.
Don't start your day with email. Set your email so it doesn't download new mail automatically or, at the very least, turn off any alert system. Instead, set a time to check for messages manually — preferably later in the day, after you've used your brainpower for more important things.
Equally important is that others at your business know how you want email used. "Emails should be short, concise, and used only when a conversation is not an option," says Adrian Moorhouse, managing director of executive coaching firm Lane4. "The easier communication is to digest, the more likely it is that the messages will be delivered effectively."
Some colleagues seem unable to help themselves. We all know the type. They send too many emails; they gossip or forward jokes. Get them to divert their personal chatter online by allowing them to use social media at work (even if it's just at set times of the day). Or talk to the worst offenders one-on-one. Peter Taylor, the director of the project management office for Siemens and author of "The Lazy Project Manager," says when he's cc'd on emails, he tells the senders to cut it out. "If people had to produce single sheets of paper and hand them out every time they wanted to communicate, they'd be a lot more conscientious. I educate everyone who I communicate with and as a result, the emails I do receive are pertinent to me. I restructure those emails, copy them into ongoing documents, and keep my inbox very small."
If you're reaching a breaking point, do the email equivalent of filing for bankruptcy. Simply wipe your inbox to start afresh. It seems drastic, but it can work. Send a message to all contacts letting them know what you're planning, select all emails, and delete or archive them. If you're planning a new regime of folders, rules, filters, and information-sharing disciplines, starting from scratch isn't so crazy.
2. Prioritize your prioritizing.
To help you prioritize, start by setting clear goals. We all tend to do this subconsciously, according to Lane4's Moorhouse, but writing them down helps you actually achieve them. Here, too, time of day really matters. Prioritizing is one of the brain's most energy-hungry processes," writes Rock in his book. That means it's best done when your mind is fresh and well rested. Allocate time to order your thoughts — dashing off a to-do list of tasks that are "front of mind" is easy, but it won't break the back of the work you need to cover.
Try organizing your thinking visually. One great way is with Mind Maps, diagrams of ideas linked together in a tree system that help you visualise all of them in context to each other. That way you won't forget any of your ideas when you have to decide which ones are the most important.
3. Blindside the data (approach it from an unexpected direction).
Break down complex information into sub-groups. Once you've determined a goal, you can "chunk" your work into groups to achieve it. You can also do this with your to-do lists.
According to an experiment at Wilfred Laurier University, (It's About Time: Optimistic Predictions in Work and Love, European Review of Social Psychology) people are generally very bad at estimating when they'll finish their own work, but good at guessing for others. So gauge your timing by using someone else's experience. You'll be less stressed if you're realistic about your workload.
4. Do less.
To do less, you should delegate more. Too many managers can't resist the temptation personally to get involved in everything that's happening. But effective delegation means limiting the amount of information you have to process, as well as empowering those around you. Then, ask for regular briefings.
5. Unplug.
Many managers feel they can't shut off the fire hydrant of information. But they can take a break from it. "It's tempting to think that more information makes for better decisions," says Penny de Valk, CEO of the UK-based Institute of Leadership and Management. "But in most cases, it just erodes your focus. You need time to synthesize information and generate real intelligence."
That takes discipline, of course, but it's useful to stop thinking when you are stuck on a project so your brain can recover. "You do need to switch off and rebalance your brain chemistry if you're going to come up with new ideas," says Rock. Stefan Sagmeister of New York-based design firm Sagmeister says he so much believes in the power of time off that he closes up shop for 12 months every seven years to pursue "little experiments" that he doesn't have time for in his daily life.

"The food offerings accommodate all dietary needs without compromising taste and flair." ~Diane B.
" Food in the morning was delicious…" ~Kyle
"The food here is excellent! Breakfast is made with guests' dietary choices in mind (omnivore, vegetarian, vegan, food allergies, etc.). The conversation at breakfast with the inn keepers and various guests ranged on many topics relevant to sustainability and sharing." ~Christine D.
"The food was great (we had dinner there one night as well as the full farm breakfasts made to order), the people were great and the concept of an eco B&B was the best!" ~MaryJo and Doug
"The food is varied, exceptional, and plentiful to say the least." ~Bonnie
"One of the highlights of my stay was… the food that was lovingly prepared and cheerfully served to me throughout the weekend! From the cheesecake, to the tea, and the brunch on Sunday morning...I can't put into words how delicious it was! The eggs were from happy chickens on a local farm, the jam was homemade, as was the butter and the biscuits...truly one of the best breakfasts I have ever eaten." ~Sara G.

Functional Neurosurgery

Find out about upcoming clinical trials for movement disorders, including essential tremor and Parkinson's.
About Functional Neurosurgery
Functional neurosurgery involves the restoration of neurological condition and function. This is one of the fastest-growing areas of neurosurgery and provides great hope for patients with previously untreatable conditions, including:
- Movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease, essential tremor and dystonia
- Epilepsy
- Spasticity
- Neuropathic and cancer pain
- Peripheral nerve disorders
We specialize in deep brain stimulation, stereotactic surgery (such as Gamma Knife) and focused ultrasound.
A Multidisciplinary Team
Each patient evaluated by the Functional Stereotactic Neurosurgical Program at UVA is assessed by a large multidisciplinary team specializing in the patient's particular disorder. The clinical team includes specialists in neurosurgery, neurology, physical therapy, neuropsychology and electrophysiology.
A Pacemaker for Your Brain
Deep brain stimulation is a surgical treatment where a medical device is implanted in the brain to treats tremors associated with Parkinson's disease and other disorders. The device, which is like a pacemaker for the brain, sends electrical impulses to specific parts of the brain.
At UVA, our outstanding reputation for this treatment attracts patients from throughout the mid-Atlantic region. Our collaborative team approach provides a rare one-stop shopping experience in which we work together to monitor and manage your treatment for the best possible outcome.
In 2009, the Michael J. Fox Foundation awarded UVA funding to conduct investigations with the National Institutes of Health treating six Parkinson's patients with deep brain stimulation.

Russian Genius Found To Be Living With 26 Dressed-Up Skeletons In His Apartment
Anatoly Moskvina, a 45-year old Russian man who can fluently speak 13 languages and considered by many an all around genius, was discovered to be sharing his apartment with the skeletal remains of 26 women he dug up and dressed like dolls. He was busted after his parents came over for an unexpected visit. JESUS! Where the f*** did you hide them when you knew they were coming over?!
Russian media reported the bodies were females aged between 15 and 26 who died years ago.
Life News said Moskvina is a historian who sneaked into graveyards at night, dug up bodies and took them home in plastic bags.Back in his apartment, he dressed up the bodies as dolls wearing dresses and stockings.Moskvina is believed to have slept in a coffin during one nocturnal cemetery [excursion], BNO News reported.
Hey -- geniuses work in mysterious ways, you know? Take me for instance, I live in this apartment with 68 cats. "But you're not actually a genius." And this isn't actually an apartment -- it's a van.

text: On realgm some people think that Walter Hermann would be a nice fit to fill our void at PF. i like that idea but i cant remember if he was good at pf or not when he played for us. i thought he primarily played the SF or when Vincent was coach the bench. I would love to have him if he can hold his own down low as he would give us that shooting PF to pair with Mek. Other ideas are trading for Sean Williams or Channing Frye. i dont mind either of those as they upgrade the PF spot, but if we sign Hermann to the MLE we wouldnt have to trade anyone. Thoughts? Post any other options you guys have.

The Foundation
So He said, "No, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I have now come." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, "What does my Lord say to His servant?" Joshua 5:14 (NKJV)
Worship begins with the proper position to God's revelation—and the proper perspective. What Joshua thought was a conversation with a stranger quickly transformed into something much different! The Lord revealed to Joshua who He was, and once Joshua realized who he was speaking with, he physically and spiritually put himself in a position that declared the worthiness of God, and he worshiped.
When it comes to how we worship God, what should our position be? We see the answer in Joshua's actions. When he understood he was in God's presence, his first move was to hit the ground. "And Joshua fell on his face to the earth..."
The foundation for Joshua's worship was that he actively and immediately sought to humble himself before the Lord. The same is true for our worship. The attitude of our hearts must first be grounded on the truth that He is God, and we are to be humble before Him. Whatever we find ourselves doing, our daily practice as believers should be to clothe ourselves in humility before the Lord.
And from that position, we can rightly respond to God's revelation. When we aren't humble, God isn't worshiped. But from a humble position, we can honor God above all else. Once Joshua had fallen before the Lord, it's then that he began to worship. We aren't told what his exact actions were, but we know that he was honoring the Lord with all that he had—truly giving Him reverence.
It was from a position of humility and a heart of worship that Joshua invited the Lord to speak to him. By taking those first steps, he was then ready and willing to obey the Word of the Lord. What a wonderful example of worship and the Word! Once we respond to God's revelation in worship, we can then respond to His Word with obedience.
Andrew Wooddell
Worship Leader, Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale

Others pulled us outside, as soon as we walked in the door.
Not everyone was angry. Some owners had a sense of humor, like the owner of Frank's Family Restaurant in Citrus County, who joked about why rodents might have been in the kitchen.
"I even like to get out of the cold," said owner Bill Wineski. "Plus its kinda attractive to something that's hungry, it's called a restaurant."
We heard lots of excuses and explanations for the problems found in 2012.
Like the ice cream shop that said chocolate sprinkles were mistaken for rodent droppings.
"You won't find a cleaner restaurant," shouted the owner.
But we discovered inspection reports rarely lie. In fact, time after time, we found restaurants that said they were cleaned up but still had roaches weeks later.
"One, two, three, four... yeah this restaurant is filled with roaches,' we said during an inspection of the Steak Escape inside the Citrus Park Mall.
In January of last year, CiCi's Pizza in Kenneth City that told us their kitchen was clean. Later that night we showed roaches running around the dining room on live TV.
After our report, the restaurant closed down for weeks to complete a renovation. CiCi's eventually invited us back and we were so impressed we even tried out the pizza.
"For guests that haven't been here in a couple months they're going to see a completely new restaurant," said Kyle Smith, CiCi's Senior Vice President of Operations back in April.
We were happy to find lots of restaurants like the Columbia on Clearwater Beach that quickly addressed any problems found.
But a few instead, tried covering up issues, unable or unwilling to get their kitchen clean.
