A former Milwaukee County development director received support tonight from a selection committee charged with recommending a replacement for late Wauwatosa 8th District Alderman Tom Treis.
Robert Dennik told the committee about his background in lobbying at the local, state and federal levels, his experience in county government and his knowledge about policy and procedure. He recently took a position as vice president of business development for VJS Construction Service and serves on the Milwaukee County Research Park board.
He received more votes from committee members then the other six applicants who each participated in 15 minute interviews. After three rounds of voting to narrow down the candidate pool, Dennik received three votes to runner-up Thomas Lutzow, chief executive officer for Independent Care Health Plan.
The Wauwatosa Common Council will vote on Dennik's selection at its next meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 17, at Wauwatosa City Hall, 7725 W. North Ave.

I accidentally signed my name on the back of a check made out to someone else. I need to give that check to that other person but my name is in ink on the back. I was wondering if the check is ruined or if I can somehow fix the check. If I can't, can I deposit the check even though it's not made out to me if I have the owners consent?
The correct payee should still be able to endorse the check and deposit it. Don't try to erase or obliterate your name -- that might look fishy to the bank, and they might not take the check.
The correct payee could probably sign the check over to you (making it a third-party check) but many banks won't cash those. If the payee owes you money, the best way to get it is to have him deposit the check into his bank, then withdraw money to pay you.

Nanowire transistors with a perfect crystal structure and a well-defined Si–SiO2 interface cannot be grown with the actual technology. The shape of the semiconducting channel varies from source to drain. By self-consistently coupling the three-dimensional Schrödinger and Poisson equations, interface roughness (IR) effects are studied in Si triple-gate nanowire transistors with [100], [110], [111], and [112] oriented channels. The full-band electronic transport is computed in the nearest-neighbor sp3d5s* tight-binding model. IR is included by adding or removing atoms at the Si surface. A comparison of the different channel orientations is achieved by calculating the variations of the transistor threshold voltage.

One thing Australian harness racing trainers got tired of seeing last year was the sight of Follow The Stars disappearing up the track on his way to winning their 2 year old classics. Those trainers would have hoped that the brilliant son of Art Major would concentrate on age group features in New Zealand before heading back across the Tasman but the New Zealand handicapping system has meant that Australians will get to see plenty of Follow The Stars starting with the Victorian Derby. The New Zealand handicapping system rates every win in a race with a stake of $15,000 or more as a win that attracts a penalty, even as a 2 year old. Hence going into his 3 year old year in New Zealand, Follow The Stars is classed as a C8 for handicapping purposes which means he is graded just behind our best Grand Circuit horses. So not surprisingly the All Star team have decided that it is too tough for a early 3 year old to race those older race hardened horses and are heading back over the Tasman with their star where under the Australian handicapping system, Follow The Stars is still an M0. Being an "Aussie" by birth, Follow The Stars was always going to spend a lot of time on that side of the Tasman as he is eligible for everything but the New Zealand handicapping system has fast tracked his appearance. The All Stars team have mapped out a programme for last years champion 2 year old and everything is on track at this stage. Follow The Stars is due to head to the North Island on December 13th and trial in the north before having his season debut run in the $20,000 Waikato Guineas at Cambridge on January 9th. From there it is on the plane to Melbourne to contest the Victorian Derby heats on January 31st. Following the Derby, Follow The Stars is expected to spend most if not all of his season in Australia which while not what a lot of Australian trainers would have been hoping for, will be greeted with a sigh of relief by a lot of trainers in New Zealand. With his great 2 year old record and being from the great American maternal family that he is from, Follow The Stars has stallion potential written all over him if he can reproduce at three what he achieved as a two year old. Harnesslink Media
All the talk before the race was about the lack of depth in this years $100,000 3 year old Ruby with only four horses given any real chances of taking the winners prize. That was about the only thing that the pundits got right with the dual Derby winner King Denny overcoming a trip in the death seat to cement his standing as this years premier 3 year old. From the time the mobile left the mile, the carnage began. First to break was the smart Mum's Pride and Trouble Rieu went out in sympathy soon after. While all this was going on, All Royal Gal had shot to the lead from barrier eight with rank outsider Monseignur settled in the trail behind the leader. Passing the 900, star filly Majestic Time went off stride meaning there was no mid race pressure. Going pass the 400, Mark Purdon let the brakes off and King Denny straigthened up in front but to everyones surprise rank outsider Monseignur appeared up the passing lane and for a few brief seconds looked likely to cause the boilover of the season before King Denny lifted and got home with a neck to spare at the finish. Monseigneur, a ten start maiden went the race of his life for second while Sir George Grey ran home well for third., Trouble Rieu made a great recovery to run fourth but lost that placing in the inquiry room for his excessive early gallop with Djokovic being promoted to fourth. King Denny's season is not over yet with a campaign centered on the Victorian Derby his one remaining goal as a three year old. By Mark Robertson
Victorian harness racing trainer Brent Lilley will aim two of his rising trotting stars at the NSW Oaks and Derby in the coming weeks at Tabcorp Park Menangle. The former kiwi horseman had Daenerys Targaryen in this week's Oaks and despite not racing since December 2013 he is confident of a strong showing. "I was undecided on whether to nominate her but I was told they were looking for fillies for the Oaks and after my filly's strong performance at the trials last week I thought she would be up to it," Lilley said. "She trialled at Melton on May 12, she finished second behind Stunning Jasper but the margin between them was only a half head, she hit the line full or running which was good to see because she is coming back from a pulled muscle in her back." Daenerys Targaryen won the Redwood Classic at Maryborough last season when trained by Mark Purdon. "She has plenty of ability and to get her ready for this campaign she has been doing plenty of work on the treadmill and I have also had her doing plenty of swimming as well." "After the NSW Oaks I will concentrate on the Victoria Oaks as well." Stablemate and New Zealand Northern Trotting Derby placegetter Twentyten will be aimed at the NSW Trotting Derby. "He is a very talented trotter, he beat the best in New Zealand before he ran third in the Northern Derby and I think he is going to be very competitive in any race he competes in here in Australia." "He will go towards the Victorian Derby after he races in Sydney and then I will get him ready for the Breeders Crown so he has still got a few features to go before the end of the season." The Gr. 1 NSW Trotting Derby will be held on Saturday May 31 at Tabcorp Park Menangle. By Greg Hayes - SKY Racing
It was a brilliant Barry Purdon quinella that marked the 100th year since the first ever running of the harness racing Victorian Derby. In a tactically brilliant move Craig Demmler switch Our Sky Major - a noted leader - off the pegs in the opening stages to take the lead off his stablemate - a noted sit sprinter. From there the McCarthy army enforced the pace through the middle stages with Bling It On finding the chair and Lettucrockthem in the one by one. But a lack of mid-race pressure told the story of the race as Our Maxim was produced along the sprint lane to claim the $200,000 classic in gritty fashion. A winner of over $340,000 in prizemoney now, Barry Purdon has never been willing to split his two rising stable stars and the VHRSC Victoria Derby proved just why. Our Sky Major clung on for second in a mile rate of 1:56.0 with the last half coming in 54.2 seconds while Yayas Hot Spot shot along the pegs to claim third to complete an all New Zealand bred trifecta. by Blake Redden Harness Racing Victoria
The Kiwi's struck their first blow on harness racing's Hunter Cup night with Our Maxim in the third and final Victoria Derby heat. Barry Purdon and Zac Butcher combined to upstage favourite Lettucerockthem via the passing lane. It turned into a race of tactics with Our Maxim utilising his front row draw as he kept working forward to eventually find the top but Luke McCarthy and Lettucerockthem came with to take the front mid-race. Rather than allowing a speed battle to develop, Butcher eventually relented, handing over the lead to the favourite who was working through a sizzling 28.2sec second quarter of the last mile. That mid-race pressure might have proved the difference as Our Maxim just pegged back the favourite in the straight to run a mile rate of 1:55.9. The official margin was a neck by 5.6 metres with Vicbred Super Series winner Major Secret sitting parked for the last lap and putting in a brave performance to make it into the final. Our Maxim has now taking his earnings to in excess of $215,000 from his 18 starts in what was his fourth win. by Blake Redden Harness Racing Victoria
In the second heat of the Victoria Derby it was expected to be another McCarthy domination with Allblack Stride sent out the long odds-on favourite but harness racing punters were left bleeding when the favourite folded up as the entered the straight. After securing a fairly easy run in front, Allblack Stride couldn't sprint with Young Modern, who threw out the first challenge, but then Motor Smoker and SA Derby winner Paua Fella who both came rushing down the outside. The run to the line saw Motor Smoker pull out all stops to kick on and defeat Paua Fella by a head with Young Modern in third and the Peter Manning-trained Znana getting through from three back the pegs to secure a place in the final. The time of the race was slower than heat one with the winner recording a mile rate of 1:56.9 and quarters of 31.7secs, 29.7secs, 29secs and 27.1secs. Motor Smoker has now won three from four this preparation with driver Gavin Lang explaining post-race that having the horse gelded lead to plenty of improvement between his two and three-year-old seasons. by Blake Redden Harness Racing Victoria
The first of the Victoria Derby heats for 2014 kicked off harness racing's Del-Re National Food Group Hunter Cup night in style and it saw a brilliant performance from blistering New South Wales three-year-old Bling It On. The half-brother to Miracle Mile winner Baby Bling was stuck three wide early before rolling around the field to take up the running in the early stages. It was a heady Luke McCarthy drive that kept his rivals at bay in even quarters of 30.8secs and 30.5secs to open the last mile before he let rip off the back and flew through the third quarter in 27.5secs. Fellow New South Wales visitor Yayas Hot Spot returned to near his best while trailing the leader into the race and never giving up even in a slashing last quarter of 26.5secs. The official margin was just under four metres with Kiwi invader Our Sky Major working mid-race to find the breeze and holding on for third clearly. The overall mile rate was 1:54.8 with the winner, Bling It On, appearing to cruise to the line with something left in the tank for next week's final. by Blake Redden Harness Racing Victoria
After finishing second in the Treuer Memorial at Bankstown, Jim Douglass believes former Victorian Derby winner Scandalman is nearly back to his best. Scandalman was having his fourth run back from a lengthy spell and has improved steadily with each run this campaign. "Ian (Wilson trainer) gave him four trials to get him ready to race and while the trials were good hit-outs he needed to get some racing under his belt," Douglass said. "He is a stallion and during his break he was very big and fat and it has been a job to get the weight off him but he is definitely getting fitter and fitter with each run." Douglass expected a good performance at Bankstown but was even more confident of a forward showing after completing the warm up. "He felt very sharp in the preliminary on Saturday night, he felt like he was ready to run a race and I actually thought on the turn I was a chance of beating Washakie but he held us to about a length all the way up the straight. "Scandalman won't be going to the Newcastle Cup, he chased very hard in the Treuer and has had four runs in four weeks so he won't be racing this weekend but I'm sure Ian will have him in somewhere the following week, there are a couple of options coming up including the Shirley Turnbull Memorial at Bathurst." Scandalman is still assessed M0 but Douglass expects him to take the next step in his career within twelve months. "I think we all expect this season to be the one when Scandalman starts racing against the better opposition and I'm sure he is ready to make that step up, he will benefit from the experience of chasing home horses like Washakie." "The Treuer was a good race for the stable because Tori Jack finished fifth as well and it was good to see him run so well." Nancy O'Grady | Executive Assistant | Harness Racing New South Wales |
Former Victorian Derby winner Scandalman will have his first run in more than seven months on Saturday night when he competes in a heat of the M0 series at Newcastle. The five year old stallion has not raced since winning the Goulburn City Sprint in March but with four trials 'under his belt' driver Jimmy Douglass is expecting a good performance. "It has taken him a while to get into race condition, he is a five year old stallion and he does so well while he is out that Ian (Wilson trainer) has had to give him four trials to prepare him for his first run back," Douglass said. "He trialled at Menangle on Monday, he was beaten about two lengths in 1:54 in the fast class trial, he has been getting better and better with each run and while there will be definite improvement after Saturday night I'm still expecting a pretty good run from him especially after he drew barrier one." Douglass stated that Scandalman has always been a horse that has improved with racing and his win in the Victoria Derby was proof of that. "He won the Victoria Derby after an absolute gut buster in the heat a week prior and I honestly think he is a horse that could race ten times and he would get better with every run, he just thrives on racing." "Despite his performances as a younger horse he is still only classed M0 so this upcoming series with the final at Menangle on Miracle Mile night looked perfect for him, after that Ian will sit down and reassess what races to target him at." Douglass is returning from suspension this week and Scandalman will be his first drive back. "Luckily I got to drive him in the trial on Monday otherwise I might have needed to have a practice myself." "I'm back from suspension after Thursday night but I won't be driving on Friday so Newcastle will be the first meeting for me and I've got a few nice drives so I'm looking forward to it." Dale Walker (Harness Racing NSW)
The Australians were left with a few crumbs after New Zealand's big guns blasted the locals off the track at Saturday's feature harness racing meeting at Melton.
The New Zealand harness racing contingent made their presence felt on Del-Re National Food Group Hunter Cup night and they struck the first blow in the Group 1 events when Ohoka Punter capitalised on a fast pace in the VHRSC Victoria Derby.
The biggest owner in New South Wales Emilio Rosati believes Ee And Em Stride can play a major role in the Victoria Derby on Saturday night after drawing barrier one. The son of Christian Cullen has won five of his eleven starts and finished second in his Derby heat on Saturday behind Lennytheshark.
Dr Hook, Mah Sish appeal as top prospects but no guarantees of Victoria Derby success. New Zealand's chances of a group one treble at Melton on Saturday received two boosts and a giant setback yesterday. Kiwi harness racing horses will be among the favourites for the Hunter Cup, Australasian Trotting Champs and Victoria Derby.
Champion Bolinda harness racing reinsman Chris Alford snared a quartet of winners at Tabcorp Park Melton on Saturday, including a rare treble of all three heats of the VHRSC Victoria Derby.
The headline act going into the VHRSC Victoria Derby heats was Guaranteed and he didn't disappoint anyone with a dominant display ensuring he will retain overall favouritism for the harness racing final to be run next week at Tabcorp Park.
Tony Herlihy is no stranger to bringing horses across the ditch for a mission at our premium Group 1 harness racing events but with Our Bettor Dream he is starting with the softly, softly approach.

University of Iowa Operations Manual
(Amended 9/93; 2/15/95; 2/01; 1/02)
(Excerpt from):
a. Statement on Tenure and Academic Vitality at
The University of Iowa. (Regents 2/14/74)
The Basic Premises. The basic assumptions on which The University of Iowa
proposes to function over the next several years are: First, tenure will
continue as a cornerstone of the University's relationship with faculty members.
Tenure is not only consistent with academic vitality but essential to it.
Second, consistent with the University's educational needs and as permitted by
its resources, faculty members in probationary status will be given the
opportunity to acquire tenure if their performance merits tenure. No system of
tenure quotas is contemplated. Third, the University must provide mechanisms by
which a varied group of new faculty members come to the University so that the
institution may continuously revitalize itself. Fourth, the University will
retain the flexibility to adjust its educational programs to meet the changing
needs of students and society, and to take into account advances in the world's
knowledge base. In the process of making such adjustments, every effort will be
made to plan well in advance and the faculty will play a major role in defining
institutional needs in the process of departmental, collegiate, and University
is not a very well understood concept. If a university is to perform its
function effectively, it is essential that faculty members in their teaching and
research feel free to express new ideas and divergent viewpoints. In the process
of teaching and research, accepted "truths" often must be challenged
and questioned. A good university must create an atmosphere which, in a positive
way, encourages faculty members to express new ideas and divergent viewpoints
and to make inquiries unbounded by present norms. Such an atmosphere currently
exists at The University of Iowa; and tenure has contributed substantially to
the creation of this atmosphere and to its continuance. Put simply, free inquiry
and expression are essential to the maintenance of excellence; tenure is
essential to free inquiry and expression; The University of Iowa's consistent
goal is excellence; and the tenure system must continue if the University is to
recruit and maintain a distinguished faculty. While tenure would be an integral
part of the University's relationship with the faculty without regard to the
competitive situation, it also is important to note that the outstanding
universities throughout the country have tenure systems and that The University
of Iowa's competitive position as it attempts to recruit and to retain
outstanding faculty members would be damaged beyond repair if tenure were
abandoned or seriously weakened.

I went to my new house today to meet an exterminator who was going to take care of some ants that have taken up residence under the house.
While I was walking around the house, I noticed a spider in a bush on one side of the house. I asked the exterminator, whom I suppose is an expert in these things, if he could identify it and he said that he didn't know the real name of it, but locally they call them banana spiders. He added that it would grow about three or four times bigger and indicated that it would be about as big as his hand. He said that it was relatively harmless to humans, and they are good to have around to catch mosquitoes.
The picture I have here was taken with my cell phone and it is not very clear at all. Apparently, this one is a baby. It is only about an inch and a half across. If this one survives and is still around when we move in, I'll try to get a better picture. In the meantime, if you are interested, here is a very good picture of a banana spider that I found and a little bit of information about them.

Practicing Connection
Don't you love those moments when you FEEL so ALIVE? Dipping your toes into the cold ocean, walking in the moonlight, hearing exciting news, seeing something wonderful happen, feeling the rain on your skin, or tasting something delicious like ice-cold watermelon on a hot day.
I love those moments. I live for those moments and while those moments wouldn't be "those moments" if they happened all the time I still desire to live in one of them forever. Don't you?
So I wonder, what is it about that feeling? Why do I get the same feeling of wonder during different experiences?
My belief is this: it's a feeling of connection. It's tasting the life that is all around us. It's a tiny awakening within our being that reminds us we are all connected. We are all alive. And when I say we I mean WE: the dirt, the plants, the rocks, the trees, the water, the sky, the animals, and the people. We, collectively are all alive.
So, while I long to stay in that awakened consciousness it does not stick around as easily when I am rushing to work or doing necessary chores. The awakening, the feeling of connection then becomes a discipline: a pattern or habit of thought.
It is the discipline of seeing life in everything, not just the sweet eyes of a puppy or the soft skin of a baby, but in the ants that annoy you, in the vegetables on your plate, in the cotton of your clothing. Something had to die so that you may live. Something dies everyday so that something else may live. The plants eat the fungi in the dirt, the insects eat the plants, the animals eat the insects, and so on and so forth.
There is no living without dying.
When I realize that it becomes an honor to exist here and now. My life however small it may be in this vast universe is important, because today I am the physical manifestation of life. All that fuels me and passes on to a new experience within my body allows me the strength and the love to share the connection and the awakening with everyone else.
In everything that you or I do we have the opportunity to practice connection and awakening. There is no task too mundane and no meal too small to be insignificant within our experience – everything we do matters and everything you and I do has the power to make a difference.
Let's make a difference together.
Don't Fear Change. Embrace it.
Thank you David at Age of Aquarius Photography for putting this motivational clip together for us. We appreciate you!
Living on the Fence
For many years I chose to travel along the neutral top of the fence. Looking down from my perch I could understand why one might choose to travel along either side, but for me there was certain level of safety on top of the fence.
Remaining on the fence allowed me to proclaim the benefits of both sides while renouncing the cons but never forced me to bare the responsibility of owning either. In a sense, I was having my cake and eating it too, or at least so I thought.
At the time what I was failing to recognize was that my attempt at living neutral was not derived from the oh-so-smart part of my big brain I boasted. No, it was not intelligence or uncanny insight that had me tight rope walking my way between sides, it was fear.
Yup. I was terrified to choose a side.
What if I was wrong?
What if I chose a side and none of my friends, family members, or clients approved?
What if they all abandoned me?
I was terrified of the repercussions of jumping down. But it wasn't just the repercussions of the potential lost relationships, it was the burden of responsibility, too. By picking a side I would have to own it. I'd actually have to live out in the open for all to see, for all to judge. Choosing might lead to losing. I couldn't talk myself into taking that risk.
All those "what-ifs" weren't mine, they belonged to Fear.
Fear is like a Vampire, for it to get to you you gotta invite it in. Once you do, it just starts sucking the life out of you. That is exactly what happened when Fear became my roomie.
Eventually (and fortunately), balancing on that fence became exhausting. My nervous system was taxed. My adrenals couldn't take any more. Living in the middle had me attempting to please both sides all the time. Some of you know this feeling. It S-U-C-K-S. Big time. I was going through life being what the person in front of me needed me to be at that moment.
While I must admit there was a small amount of pride I felt for my chameleon-like abilities, mostly I was tired and lonely. Living Agnostically was no longer an option.
So I hopped down off the fence.
And I was right. There was judgement. People I cared deeply for chose to no longer be in my life. I lost friends and clients. I felt depressed and began to doubt my decision. I found my Self staring at the fence thinking about climbing back up on top of it.
I was frustrated. I cried. Screamed. Broke a lot of things. Lost my shit on more occasions then I would like to admit. Got angry, sad, angry again… and then out of seemingly no where, I got really freaking happy.
This hurricane of emotions turned out to be the purging process I needed to let go. When I un-balled my fist it exposed my palms to receive. New relationships began to flow into my life. I found myself surrounded by like-minded individuals whose dreams aligned with mine. They motivated me, encouraged me, and challenged me to be the best version of myself I could be. They actually liked me.
Not only did I receive new relationships but also peace. I felt calm inside. I was learning to be OK with Billy. I no longer had to validate myself through my relationships. I could simply be. The being has lead to doing.
Making the decision to live life on my terms was uncomfortable, but not nearly as painful as living on the fence.
It's Up To YOU.
*Thank you David Kloz and Age of Aquarius Photography for putting this rant together for us. Much Love.
The Problem with Motivation
"Mot-to, Mot-to, Highly motivated", I would shout from the top of my lungs as my section, platoon, or company would double time next to me.
Then in perfect unison my brothers would shout it back, "Mot-to, Mot-to, Highly motivated!!!"
And motivated I was. How could I not be? I was one of the few, the proud… I was a Marine. "OO-fucking-Rah!" I loved being in the Marine Corps. I loved leading motto runs. I loved blowing shit up. I loved doing P.T. I loved putting on my uniform. I loved every damn minute of it.
Until, I didn't.
There was a pivotal point during my enlistment where my motivation went from a state of being (this all encompassing state of readiness and eagerness to obey) to more of a running joke about overly enthusiastic 'Boots'. At the time I really didn't notice the shift in attitude. My lack of motivation was not due to an abundance of not-giving-a-shits or complacency. If anything, I cared more about the Marine Corps the day I drove out the front gate for the last time then I could have ever cared about it standing on those yellow footprints.
The issue was a simple one; my motivation to be an outstanding Marine was replaced by the action of actually being an outstanding Marine. The desire to make the cut, or prove myself worthy of the eagle, globe, and anchor insignia I wore so proudly on my chest, faded as I accomplished that goal.
In a sense, as my confidence grew, proficiency increased, and my place among my brothers solidified my motivation took a nosedive. I no longer needed to pep myself up on a daily basis to face the fear that I might not succeed. For all intents and purposes, I had succeeded. I was a Sergeant of Marines. My dream had become reality.
Mission accomplishment sent my mind looking for new feats to take on. My mind took my motivation to excel as a Marine with it. My heart knew it was time to move on. So I did.
I cranked Neil Yong's "Rockin the Free World" as loud as I could and drove off base. By the time I had belted out the final chorus, Fear and Uncertainty had reunited me to my old friend, Motivation. Billy was back and ready to prove himself to the civilian world.
But what happens when our motivation is gone, but we can't move on?
What do we with ourselves when the title, job, sport, relationship, or goal we have been clinging to for so long no longer provides us with the awe-inspiring purpose it used to?
I think a common response is to blame motivation. Hang a 'will be back' sign with an indefinite return time on our chest and wait. We expect at some point the vigor that drove us to our current position will eventually return. That's the problem with motivation; it's a moody asshole. One day it's got you setting your alarm clock and up running before the sun rises, the next it's no where to be found. So we keep forcing the feel and chugging along hoping motivation will feel sorry for us and return.
Maybe, just maybe it's not a matter of motivation.
What if instead it's a matter of growth?
What if the title, job, sport, relationship, or goal you've been aligning yourself with no longer fits because you've out grown it?
I didn't stop loving the Marine Corps. I simply out grew it. The Marine Corps didn't change. I did. I could have reenlisted and forced the feel. But I would have been miserable, the that last thing The Corps needs is one more disenchanted Staff NCO.
The reality is at some point we have to accept change. We have to accept the only way we can live a life that makes a difference is by allowing ourselves to be different. Besides, Motivation loves change. Want to get motivated? Go attempt something that scares the shit out of you. You'll be walking hand and hand with Motivation like never before.
It's time to stop clinging to those things that no longer define us; it's time to stop forcing the feel. It's time to stop waiting for motivation.
Do something that forces you to be different today than you were yesterday. (I am sure there is at least one thing you've been contemplating in the back of your mind for a long time but you been too scared to confront it.) If you do this, I promise you want have to look for motivation, because Motivation will find you.
Are YOU Ready?
At some point in our lives we have fallen victim to the belief that getting in shape and staying in shape takes hard work. This idea is even built into calling the practice of getting healthy; "WORKING OUT". Sounds terrible. Even Pavel Tsatouline, Russian kettlebell master and all around badass, says, "in the Russian language there is no word for 'workout'… the implied meaning of a workout means let me just go and see how much I can reduce myself to a pile of shivering J-ello as quickly as possible."
Again, sounds terrible.
Health does not come from getting up and beating the shit out of your body everyday. A healthy body is derived from understanding what your body needs, then making it a daily priority to provide your body with said need. It is understanding that those needs change on a daily basis. This requires you to have a relationship with movement, food, thought, and spirit. (Yup, I said spirit too. You don't really think you are just a body do you?)
The hardest truth for almost everyone that I have ever worked with to grasp is that being healthy does not require hard work at all, it only requires conviction: a firmly held belief. When you are convicted to getting healthy or to a way of living it is no longer a hassle or hard work, it's a lifestyle.
Yes, there will definitely be some work involved in getting healthy. BUT if you are really ready, if you are really going to jump down the rabbit hole of health, the hard work you will have to do isn't going to come from physically destroying yourself. No, the toughest weight you are going to have to lift, will be figuring out what you really want and why. The toughest rep you are going to pull is owning your shit.
For years, I have watched some of my clients accomplish their goals and some of them fall short. This inconsistency could have been enough to make me pull my hair out. (Luckily, I don't grow much hair these days.) With each client's result, good or bad, I am always left asking myself, "What did I do right or wrong?"
Then a few years ago it occurred to me it wasn't about a right or wrong course of action or flaw in program design. The difference between the client who "succeeded" (I use this term loosely b/c success is subjective) and one who didn't was about a state of mind.
After years of frustration, observation, and consideration I have arrived at a definite conclusion; One must be ready.
I have come to think of these four words as the "iceberg phrase".
Like an iceberg, the initial appearance is nothing miraculous. Just like reading those four little words probably didn't send you into a state of enlightenment. Nor did they knock you off your chair into a complete "'Aha' coma". Similar to seeing a picture of an iceberg, it's cool, but really it's just a big chunk of ice. You can open your freezer and see ice. No big deal. BUT to get up close to that iceberg and witness its size, is a totally different experience. To see it flip over and feel the power it creates connects us to our humanly position among Nature's wonders.
The realization of how much deeper that iceberg goes below the surface when it flips upside down and reveals its true whole self, is to understand what lies within those four words, one must be ready. It's the difference in shrugging your shoulders and letting out a passive, "I'm ready" and running to the top of the nearest hilltop with the rising sun and proclaiming for all nature to hear, "I'M READY!!"
Being ready is not about having a membership to one of the trendy new gyms or 'boxes' that are popping up around you, owning stylish gym clothes, or the latest fad in foot apparel. Ready is not an instantaneous emotional decision to commit to a goal because your piers decided they were all going to do it. Being ready does not come from deciding to prove some one else wrong or right. Ready is not powered by anger, fear, or ego. Ready is not going out and beating yourself into 'a pile of shivering J-ello'.
Ready is when you are no longer OK with the individual who is staring back at you in the mirror. Ready is the realization that you love yourself so fucking much you absolutely refuse to continue living life in such a way that causes unwanted and unneeded pain and suffering. Ready comes when you decide to flip over that iceberg and start revealing your true self to the world regardless of what the repercussions may be. Ready is when you realize this relationship, job, or body no longer fits you so you kindly remove yourself (or shall I say, your Self). Ready is you when realize there are no safety nets and you jump anyway.
Your coach, teacher, Sifu, mentor, instructor, best friend, trainer, spouse, parent, or anyone else cannot decide when you are ready. Only you can.
The reality is some of you reading this are not ready. That is OK.
I know I've forced 'ready' when I wasn't, many times. I have watched clients' motivation fade because they started working with me when they weren't ready. As much as I tried to inspire them or adjust their program so that it better fit their lives, it didn't matter because they were not in a state of readiness.
But when you are ready, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY READY… health & fitness will no longer be an enslaving act of self-torture. Instead getting healthy will become a catalyst that will empower you to become your greatest Self. The Self you know deep down inside you are capable of being.
It's in there.
Are you ready to let it out?
Vertical Climb
The B.E.S.T. Approach
A funny thing happens when people find out what I do for a living. They always ask me THE question. It's kind of funny because I always know when it's coming. This sort of serious inquisitive glaze fills their eyes, they shift their body weight, as if they are preparing to be enlightened and then IT roles off their tongue. So I clear my head, wet my lips, and get ready to tell them a truth that they inherently know, but are usually not ready to hear.
The conversation usually goes something like this:
Inquiring mind: "What is the BEST exercise for ________?"
(You can fill in that blank with almost anything – 'for runners', 'to help me lose weight', 'overall total body toning', 'my butt', 'my abs', 'this spot right here' 'this extra baby weight I can't seem to get rid of', etc. – it is literally an endless list.)
Me: "There is no such thing as a best exercise for ________."
That is about the time the twinkle in their eye disappears and the look of confusion sets in. I can almost hear the next few thoughts go through their mind:
"You clearly don't know what you're talking about…"
"Whatchu talking bout, Willis?"
"Great…God really does hate me."
In those next few moments, I feel an overwhelming amount of empathy because I know your co-worker, your sister's friend, the trainer at the corporate gym you belong to, your neighbor, and the latest issue of your favorite fitness magazine have all told you that there is indeed a best exercise or super sexy movement that you should be doing to cure "________".
They are all wrong… and all right.
As a culture we have clung for far too long to a one size fits all approach to health and fitness. While there is no such thing as a "best exercise" for everyone, there is definitely a way to sift through all the options and end up with a fitness program that best fits YOUR needs. A program should be designed around YOU, not the other way around. That is why I have decided to dedicate this blog to sharing my approach to health. I call it the B.E.S.T. (Breathe – Evaluate – Select – Trust) method to getting healthy.
Too many people seek out a health & wellness program with this idea in their head that a superior program exists. Unfortunately, this just isn't the case. No program is superior to another.
Health, and more specifically fitness, programs co-exist on a horizontal line without one superseding another. Indeed, there are some that are more dynamic, comprehensive, or appealing than others, but to reign one over another is a fallacy. Depending on the individual, "Sweating to the Oldies" can be just as beneficial as "Crossfit". For a program to be truly superior it must fit all of YOUR health needs, not just be an 'ass kicker', so to speak. Again, a program should be designed around YOU, not the other way around.
The convicted practitioner who shouts out to the world from his fitness pulpit that his program is superior to the rest does so with one huge assumption: that everyone is ready for HIS specific program.
My goal is to help you understand and choose which program is B.E.S.T for YOU. Before we can make that choice we have to determine if you are ready. That is what I'll be discussing in my next blog; ARE YOU READY?

• Property rights vs. community pride is a conflict as old as civilization itself. In recent months, we've reported on two attempts to regulate the appearance of properties in an effort to clean up our communities. Back in October, Kershaw County Council rejected, 3-4, third reading of an ordinance which would have given the county authority to demolish uninhabitable dwellings deemed a nuisance to neighbors or the community at large. More recently, Bethune Town Councilman John Fulmer proposed an ordinance which, if passed in December, would fine owners of blighted properties if they don't clean them up after being ...
It started accidentally. Some good ideas and memorable moments are like that. They aren't planned. They're born, bringing with them an ability to nudge a way naturally into our lives and become a tradition.

Regarding your editorial in the Nov. 14 C-I regarding "Pit Bulls," I was disappointed that you chose to use the two recent incidents in Kershaw County as an opportunity to condemn a particular breed of dog, instead of focusing attention on the actual problem, which is the lack of responsible pet ownership. This would have been an appropriate time to support the passage and vigorous enforcement of laws that focus, not on breed, but on people's responsibility for their dogs' behavior. These include measures that hold owners of all dogs accountable for properly housing, supervising and controlling their dogs ...
