The Pivot
Jun 16, 2014
General Nonsense
I've been spending a lot of time in Silicon Valley for my day job at CalendarTree. I feel like an embedded journalist. You might be interested in some of the things I've discovered.
The most fascinating phenomenon in the start-up world is called the pivot. That word has been used in every meeting I've attended. There's more to it than you think.
A pivot is when a start-up quickly changes from one product to another or from one business model to another. The valley is full of stories about companies that started with a lame idea and hit it big after a pivot. Most start-ups in the valley are software-based, so pivots are both practical and economical.
The pivot used to be the exception. For example, a company starts out selling PEZ dispensers online and later pivots to become eBay. You didn't hear about all of the companies that failed so the pivot stories probably sounded more prevalent than they were. It's similar to how a story of one shark attack makes you think there's a Great White under every surfboard. The human brain assumes that whatever it hears most frequently must be the best reflection of reality.
The valley attracts some of the smartest humans on Earth, and each of those humans, being otherwise normal, probably assumed they could use their talent, brains, and hard work to achieve specific business goals, such as building product X and selling the company to Google for a billion dollars.
And then they find out that success in the start-up realm is mostly luck. They discover this by trying great ideas coupled with great execution and failing. And they further discover it by observing unexpected successes at other start-ups. Success simply can't be predicted to any level of statistical comfort.
Smart observers in the valley look for the "tell" that an early stage start-up will be a winner, but none can be found. Oh, sure, the team needs to be smart, talented, and willing to work long hours. But nearly every start-up has that going for it. Most have great ideas as well. None of it predicts success.
So imagine if you will, some of the smartest, most rational humans the world has ever created, wallowing around in the absurdity of Silicon Valley, where success is mostly based on luck. How does one feel good about that? And what is the solution?
Answer: You institutionalize the pivot.
In other words, you move from a goal-oriented approach to a systems-oriented approach. The system involves assembling a team around a starting idea and then pivoting until something lucky happens. No one pretends to know where it will all end up.
Here's the system:
1. Form a team
2. Slap together an idea and put it on the Internet.
3. Collect data on user behavior.
4. Adjust, pivot, and try again.
Thanks to Google Analytics, Optimizely, Bitly, and other tools for measuring customer behavior in real time, a smart team can try different approaches and different products until something works out. A start-up in 2014 is a guess- testing machine.
Meanwhile, technology is increasingly becoming a commodity. A smart start-up can build nearly anything. If they need extra talent, connections, or money, the valley has plenty to offer. There isn't much of a resource constraint among the talented. That's the positive side of the "boy's network" in the valley. Everyone knows everyone. (The downside is not enough women.)
Another fascinating phenomenon in the valley is that every entrepreneur and investor seems genuinely interested in helping strangers succeed. I would go so far as to call it the defining feature of the start-up culture. Some of it has to do with the nature of entrepreneurs as serial problem-solvers. If you tell me what problem your start-up is experiencing, my reflex is to offer a suggestion or to connect you to someone who can help. And creating social capital makes a lot of sense when teams are fluid and who-you-know always matters. But beyond the practical and selfish benefits of being helpful, the dominant worldview in Silicon Valley is that if you aren't trying to make the world better, you're in the wrong line of work. The net effect is that the start-up culture is shockingly generous. If you need something for your start-up, folks will happily help you find it. I would have predicted the opposite.
But here comes the interesting part.
In an environment in which start-up resources are not limited, and no one can predict the next winner, and it is easy to measure customer behavior in great detail, the Internet is no longer a technology.
The Internet is a psychology experiment.
Building a product for the Internet is now the easy part. Getting people to understand the product and use it is the hard part. And the only way to make the hard part work is by testing one psychological hypothesis after another.
Every entrepreneur is now a psychologist by trade. The ONLY thing that matters to success in our anything-is-buildable Internet world is psychology. How does the customer perceive this product? What causes someone to share? What makes virality happen? What makes something sticky?
Experience and history give start-ups their ideas on what to test first. But the thing that worked for the last business often doesn't work for the next because no two situations are identical. So psychology on the Internet is an endless series of educated guesses and quantitative testing. Every entrepreneur is a behavioral psychologist with the tools to pull it off.
In this environment, quality is less important than speed. So the most prized technical people are the ones who can work quickly and produce one buggy prototype after another. And that brings me to the next observation.
Psychology has evolved to be a function of speed plus measurement. We're nearing the point at which the best psychologist in the world is any computer with access to Big Data, and any start-up that is rapidly testing one idea after another.
That's a system that makes sense to me. In a complicated environment, systems work better than goals.
Please excuse me while I go pivot.

I've got some news for you Scott...
"Building a product for the Internet is now the easy part."
Building the product has always been the easy part of making a commercially successful internet application. There are significant exceptions that will spring to everyone's mind almost immediately, but most web applications consist of pretty normal programming stuff.
I wish you well in finding the right team to create the right product to be sold in the right way at the right time to the right people.

[Because the alternatives are worse. Smart money is stranded at the moment. -- Scott]
So wait, is anyone snarky enough to double-down on "everything old is new again" and just invest in old, tired concepts and companies in the belief that nobody else is doing it...so they'd be getting out ahead of the curve?

I'm busy at work so I can't flesh this out at the moment, but I know there's a profound connection between the ideas espoused in this New Yorker commentary ("The Disruption Machine - What the Gospel of Innovation Gets Wrong.") and the observations Scott is making. The key is that I'm fairly convinced that both sides are both true and accurate (at least in broad strokes). I have a suspicion that reconciling the two seemingly-contradictory concepts would be the holy grail of startups.
Thinking while writing this comment, the loose idea rattling around in my brain is that Scott is arguing for an approach that takes an established approach that's not a good one, but tries to refine it to a logical extreme with the belief that it will eventually cross a threshold of viability. Jill Lepore, on the other hand, is almost arguing that constant disruption will never work, and thus a different paradigm (for lack of a better word) must be found.
In other words, Lepore is arguing for the very disruption she rails against, but Scott is arguing to stay true to the established concept of...disruption.
How meta.

So let me get this straight... never mind if the product is anything anyone NEEDS ( and they don't) or can AFFORD (and they can't) ... lets use psychology to "pivot" our way into the market so Amazon will buy us out for zillions. Great use of resources, while millions on the planet starve and die... lets encourage the production and invention of more useless crap. The criminals in the banking business nearly collapsed the entire world economy in 2008 lets sit back and see what group of idiots will finally succeed. Maybe one of these silicon valley companies will pivot their way to the top of the greed heap and do it!
Oh, by the way, I am not ignorant ... I know that thousands of attempts by entrepreneurs over the years eventually leads to so called "advancements" in technology or whatever ... I just disagree with most folks as to what advancements are and whether they are actually good for the world.
[No, you got every bit of that wrong. The product is almost always something the start-up team imagines the world wants or needs. The psychology problem is along the lines of "How do I explain the value clearly?" and "How can I convince users to trust us to do what we say?" -- Scott]

PLEASE keep these Silicon Valley insights coming.
I too am a founder with a world wide unique and truly innovative B2B solution and dreaming of global market domination with a return of millions.
My challenge is cash and letting go of my baby. I have not tried getting cash yet but my business sense tells me I wont get any (too early, I think, product ready and being tested by prospects now) which makes life more challenging. Once I'm over a certain curve I wont need cash anymore but bet THEN invertors will come knocking.

[I would say they are moving from a business model with bad odds to a business model with better odds. Unless you think trying one thing gives you the same odds of success as trying ten things. -- Scott]
So, instead of betting on 10 different groups of people doing 10 different things, you're thinking it's smarter to bet on 1 group of serial entrepreneurs doing 10 different things... on the pretense that their consistent failure has little to do with their quality as a group, and more to do with blind luck?
I'll agree that failure gives you experience, and experience increases your odds of success, but I'm not sure I fully agree with the blind luck thing. From what I've seen, the vast majority of startups have pretty obvious reasons for failing:
1. No compelling reason to use products/services.
2. Too much competition, and no distinguishing features.
3. Poor implementation.

So....they're trying to organize dumb luck.
Does it work that way? Are they just a bunch of hipsters enjoying a new buzzword? How many buzzwords have guaranteed success in anything?

There is a great saying, related to this theme: "Startups don't fail, they just run out of money." It seems spot-on in the multiple-pivot environment. One fantastic example of this is Adchemy. Here's the very long headline from the 24 Nov 2013 Business Insider story about the company: "After 6 Different Business Models And $120 Million In Funding, This Adtech Startup Thinks It's Figured Out The Next Wave Of Search". Yup, $120m will fund a lot of pivots...and eventually even the blind squirrel will find a nut! BTW, I am not at all grousing, just agreeing that luck plays a huge role in success, and, like Woody Allen said, 80% of success is showing up -- if you can get funded well enough, you can spin even multiple threads of bad luck (or bad decisions) into gold. And yes, there was an overabundance of quotes and metaphors in this comment!

Thanks for your insider account. I have to admit, as a life long programmer, not a lot of what emerges from Silicon Valley in the era of "social media" looks very useful to me. I kind of wish the "best and the brightest" were tackling some of the more pressing issues of our time.
There was a good article in the May New Yorker about a small corner of the online start-up world...

Another interesting point on the psychology issue, names.
I have no idea how to analyze this, but I wonder to what extent main street companies, large and small, run into the fact that a good name can be more important to success than the actual skill and work ethic of their employees. Remember when lots of businesses were AAAAAAAbout selling (it started with 3 a's at the beginning of the name, then 4, then 5...) so they would be the first listing in the phone book?
Likewise, general electric and general moters, grandma's cookies, etc. are named to get a specific response from the shopper, and no one else can have a similar emotional hook since the name is already owned. Heck, Tesla is named after an early electrical scientist, are that man's heirs strongly involved in the company? Or did the company just grab the name?
Meanwhile the Mai-Dung Chinese restaurant failed quickly, for reasons having nothing to do with the food or atmosphere.

Family and friends related to missing mother Brittney Wood were in Mobile County court Thursday, May 15 where they entered a plea of not guilty to charges surrounding a sex ring involving children.
Wendy Wood Holland, William Brownlee, Dustin Alton Kent, Mendy Wood Kent, James Cumba, Nelton Lloyd Morgan and Chessie Wood are all accused of sexually abusing children.
The district attorney's office said Randall Wood, who is also facing charges in this, case waived his right to an arraignment but did enter a plea of not guilty.
A then 19-year-old Brittney Wood was last seen with her uncle Donald Holland on May 30, 2012.
Authorities said Holland killed himself shortly after with Brittney's gun.
After his suicide, nearly a dozen relatives and family friends were arrested and charged with various sex crimes against children in what some law enforcement officials have called the worst child sex ring in the state of Alabama.
They are expected to appear in court again August 7.

Throw Pillow
Headdressby Amy Hamilton
Throw Pillow made from 100% spun polyester poplin fabric, a stylish statement that will liven up any room. Individually cut and sewn by hand, each pillow features a double-sided print and is finished with a concealed zipper for ease of care. Sold with or without faux down pillow insert.
Are you aware they are selling your work, just thought I'd let you know
I don't know if I'm comfortable with this. It's a beautiful piece but at the same time the headdress is a deeply sacred symbol to the plains native tribes.
I think it is beautiful work! But I absolutely love pieces that has used ink so it is not so "tidy" It is less tidy and takes away some detail but still has more character than those that did add all the detail to this. Keep it up x
I think this is still my favourite one Amy! It's awesome! It would look great in my bedroom (hint hint lol!)
i remember seeing this a while ago and thought it was just gorgeous. you're going to have to show me how you get this effect! is this digital or painted traditionally?
I love this piece Amy! I keep seeing a lot of your artwork on the internet, you are pretty much famous :D
How do I get in touch with you about this art work? I like but I need it to be bigger - can we arrange something?
Hello Amy, I really love the deep inking effects in this image. It really showcases the exquisiteness of this cultural headdress. Thank you! Sending you a big hello from Japan. :)

When GroupMe co-founder Steve Martocci threw out his desk chair for a Bosu ball to lose "the founder fifteen," we had an inkling it was only the beginning. After all, at least some of those early Fitocracy adopters had to be coming from inside the tech scene. Then we found out Michael Galpert–Aviary's own, personal self-quantifying fiend–was trying to foster (healthy!) competition in the workplace through a shared employee database measuring weight loss down to the pound.
But ff Venture Captial partner David Teten has really gone and done it. He emailed Betabeat to let us know that that ff's new ergonomically-optimized 5,000 sq. ft. office space on 6th Avenue can basically tell GroupMe's single Bosu ball can suck it, although not in so many words.
In a blog post that reads not unlike a motivational sermon, Mr. Teten explains that, like any good techie, ff was aiming for disruption, namely of the broken white collar model of sitting at a desk for 8-12 hours and thinking that three gym sessions a week can offset that. (Based on the massive crick in our neck that doesn't show any signs of healing, we're with him on that.)
Mr. Teten explains that since they had the luxury of building the space from scratch for ff's team and portfolio companies like Parse.ly and Phone.com, they did it with a few maxims in mind. Motion over statis. Standing over sitting. No added costs to living well. And flat surfaces. Did you know, for example, that "up to a third of women suffer permanent problems as a result of their prolonged wearing of heels, ranging from hammer toes and bunions to irreversible damage to leg tendons"? We wish we could forget it!
In any case, here are just some of the amenities ff staffers and its start-ups can expect: "a standing desk with anti-fatigue comfort mat," conference rooms with ball chairs, hand grippers (for flexing during tense term sheet phone calls), pedometers, wobble boards, and "walking meetings." Although those are technically outside the office.
Did we say the craze was official? Maybe we meant officially crazy.
Walking meetings is a great idea; running even better. Better still: A high quality closed net headset phone for a bike helmet; this might actually sell.
BTW, I work up 19 full flights of stairs. I take those stairs at least 3 times per day. And not the elevator ever. But that's me. David, call me?
The bike helmet headset thing sounds very Patrick Bateman.
It's been too long…why?
Just because it's such maximum efficiency, I think he'd be into it. And there would be a pulse monitor, so when he feels homicidal during a meeting, you can watch it rise while his face maintains composure.
Like the boss I had who sold by telephone his whole career and by the time I worked for him, he couldn't help himself from crossing his fingers whenever he lied. He would cross them and just wave them around!!!!
Walking meetings, like "David, walk with me," like West Wing?
"(Based on the massive crick in our neck that doesn't show any signs of healing, we're him on that.)"
I think you accidentally a preposition.

Decoding Manmohan Singh's red linesPosted: 24/01/2013 Filed under: Geo-economics, Sanjaya Baru, South Asia | Tags: foreign policy, India, LoC incident, Manmohan Singh, national security, Pakistan Leave a comment
By Dr Sanjaya Baru, Director for Geo-economics and Strategy
Many eyebrows were raised in Delhi and around the world when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh asserted that 'it cannot be business as usual' with Pakistan after the recent incident on the Line of Control (LoC). Because these remarks came after the National Security Adviser briefed opposition leaders about the government's approach to the issue, the leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha took credit for the prime minister's tough stance, while welcoming it. However, it has since become clear that Singh was adopting a more nuanced approach, not the sledgehammer response that the Bharatiya Janata Party and hotheads in the media were seeking.
The many expressions of surprise, accompanied by gratuitous remarks about Singh's 'uncharacteristic' toughness, ignore the fact that on vital national-security and foreign-policy issues, the prime minister has always drawn red lines and stuck to them. These red lines have been drawn both with respect to political parties and ministerial colleagues at home and foreign governments. When it comes to foreign policy, Singh has jealously guarded prime ministerial turf and defended the national interest.
In India's federal, parliamentary government system, foreign policy has always been the sole prerogative of the prime minister. Fully appreciative of the limits within which a prime minister could function in the kind of set-up that he had inherited, Singh was quick to draw red lines at home, as his first foreign minister, Natwar Singh, discovered early on.
The most dramatic event occurred when the Left Front state government of West Bengal informed the federal government in 2005 that it would not be able to ensure law and order at the Kalaikunda air-force base where a group of communist, CPI (M) protesters had planned to gather to disrupt joint air exercises between the Indian Air Force and the United States Air Force. Reminding Chief Minister Buddhadev Bhattacharya that no state government can prevent the central government from conducting defence and foreign policy, Singh threatened to impose 'president's rule' in West Bengal if the state government failed to discharge its constitutional responsibility of maintaining law and order, especially near a defence installation. Not only did Bhattacharya fall in line, the CPI (M) general-secretary Prakash Karat called on Singh and gave his personal assurance that there would be no disruption of the exercises.
More recently, there was a comment that Singh failed to impose similar discipline on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee when she blocked a bilateral agreement between India and Bangladesh on Teesta River water-sharing. Here, too, the fact remains that eventually the government of India was able to implement a large part of the understanding with Bangladesh. Singh also ensured, over time, that Banerjee's Trinamool Congress had to pay a price, and was ejected from India's United Progressive Alliance (UPA) coalition government (as the Left Front also earlier was). In both cases, the message was that state governments cannot cross certain red lines on matters of national security and foreign policy.
One can give several other examples where Singh may have initially stepped back in the face of opposition at home but eventually walked the talk. Faced with criticism at home, even from within his own party, for the famous India–Pakistan joint statement at Sharm-el-Sheikh, in July 2009, Singh not only defended his initiative twice in a month in parliament but also continued his dialogue with his Pakistani counterpart.
The last word
Indeed, even when UPA chairperson and Congress president Sonia Gandhi wrote a letter to Singh expressing concern about the India–ASEAN free trade agreement, Singh chose to stand his ground. When her letter was leaked to the media by a party functionary, Singh did not mind his reply being released to the media. The message once again was that on matters of national security and foreign policy, the prime minister would have the last word.
Externally also, Singh has not shied away from drawing red lines. When President Barack Obama sought to send Richard Holbrooke to India as a special envoy to discuss Kashmir, the US was told in no uncertain terms that Holbrooke would not be welcome.
On another occasion, when the Chinese government publicly warned India against permitting the Dalai Lama's visit to Arunachal Pradesh, Singh let China know that it could not dictate which parts of India the Dalai Lama could or could not travel to. A similar red line was drawn on the issue of the attendance of the Indian ambassador at the ceremony where a Chinese dissident was to be awarded the Nobel Peace prize, and on China stamping its version of India's map on Indian passports.
The toughness that Singh has demonstrated in the conduct of foreign and defence policy is not always evident in the handling of domestic political issues. But then, over the past two decades, successive Indian prime ministers, including Atal Bihari Vajpayee, have discovered the limits to their political power at home given the nature of coalition politics.
While many of Singh's critics imagine that he pursued the civil-nuclear-energy agreement with the US in the face of Left Front opposition because he was being adamant, or 'soft' on the US and so on, an important reason, apart from his conviction about the merits of the agreement itself, was his resolve not to allow domestic politics to limit prime ministerial prerogative in foreign policy and national security.
As he then famously asked his own party's leaders which head of government would take the Indian prime minister's word seriously in any international negotiation if he cannot stick to that word?
With Pakistan, Singh has adequately demonstrated his ability to overcome domestic opposition to his peace initiatives. If his dialogue with former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf reached a dead end, it was not for want of resolve on Singh's part. Rather, it was because of the turn of events inside Pakistan in 2007 [with Musharraf stepping down as army chief in November to become a civilian president]. Despite the November 2008 attack in Mumbai, Singh has shown consistency and determination in taking the dialogue process forward.
So, even Pakistan has to respect Singh's red lines, just as President Obama and President Hu Jintao were required to. Singh's firmness on foreign policy and national security appears to have triggered the 'no business as usual' remark. And it has had the intended impact.

For 2013 JP Australia has added an AST construction board to allow a bit lower price point. These boards are fantastic for flat water paddlers or those who are mellow on their boards. We are super stoked to offer these boards to the MACkite line up.
Also new for 2013 is the Fusion line of JP Paddle Boards. This is the shape of the future. While still a great straight line flat water paddle board, this board loves the waves and allows you to grow as far as you like before getting a wave specific paddle board.
As always the JP all around 11'8" and 10'8" are back in the line up as our best selling boards. These boards almost always rank #1 in our paddle board lesson fleet.
JP is your paddle board company.

SHADOW WOMAN Lizette Henry wakes up one morning and makes a terrifying discovery: She doesn't recognize the face she sees in the mirror. She remembers what she looks like, but her reflection is someone else's. To add to the shock, two years seem to have disappeared from her life. Someone has gone to great and inexplicable lengths to keep those missing years hidden forever. But the past always finds a way to return. Strange memories soon begin to surface and, along with them, some unusual skills and talents that Lizette hasn't a clue about acquiring. Sensing that she's being monitored, Lizette suddenly knows how to search for bugs in her house and tracking devices in her car. What's more, she can elude surveillance—like a trained agent. Enter a mysterious and seductive stranger named Xavier, who claims he wants to help—but who triggers disturbing images of an unspeakable crime of which Lizette may or may not be the perpetrator. With memories returning, she suddenly becomes a target of anonymous assassins. On the run with nowhere to hide, Lizette has no choice but to rely on Xavier, a strong and magnetic man she doesn't trust, with a powerful attraction she cannot resist. As murky waters become clear, Lizette confronts a conspiracy that is treacherous and far-reaching and a truth that, once revealed, may silence her and Xavier once and for all.Praise for Shadow Woman "Dazzling . . .

Now - February 7th – Ojai Artist in the Lobby – Gail Light
A California native, Gail Light has made Ojai her home for the last thirty years.
Horses and art are her passion. She divides her time between painting and being an avid student of classical riding and horsemanship.
She received a degree in Art at University of California Santa Barbara. Her work has been in juried shows at the Ojai Valley Art Museum, Santa Paula Museum of Art and annual shows of the Santa Paula Society of the Arts.
As an artist she is drawn to the world of nature, and to expressing the connection that exists between all living things experiencing life on the earth.
In addition to this, she is inspired by the physical design, architecture and beauty of all creatures, whether in excited movement or quiet contemplation.
Gail Light currently has work at the Santa Paula Museum of Art's

To see more of Gail Light's work visit her website: GLightStudio.com
Now - April 7th – Ojai Artist in the Lobby – Marilee Allen
I have been making art my entire life. I had the good fortune to enjoy art as part of the curriculum in my K-12 schooling in New Jersey. Upon graduation, I attended William Patterson University and earned a BA in Art Education. After teaching art for several years, I moved on to become a potter, plying my wares in the New York metropolitan area. After several years of self-employment, I migrated west to California. While raising my children in Ojai and Ventura, I continued to paint, craft and sew.

April 19 - Saturday ~ Shred Day 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Start gathering your old documents now. Bring them to the Ojai Community Bank parking lot on Saturday, April 19th between 9 and 12:00 p.m. The items will be shredded on site while you are there. Protect your identity and help the planet as the tons of documents will all be recycled and you will help save many trees.
June 6th – Ojai Artist in the Lobby – Iris Williams
Iris Williams will be showing a collection of colorful, sometimes fanciful, oil paintings at Ojai Community Bank starting April 5th thru June 6th.
This show represents the last 4 years of Williams' body of work. The collection is mostly figurative; friends and family, always attempting to tell the viewer a story.
Iris Williams has a rich connection to the community of Ojai. Her Paternal Grandparents came to Ojai in 1922 looking for a better life. Her family has called Ojai home ever since.
From the first time she felt the finger paint squishing between her fingers she knew she wanted to be an artist. She considers oil painting her favorite medium but is also known for her mosaic work, as well as Paper Mache.
Iris graduated from Nordhoff in 1974. Art was what got her through school. She studied with Sharon Butler for many years and then went on to teach art to kids when Sharon sold her Art workshop to Janis Hansen.
She and her husband Kirk Lowry, are the owners of Ojai Creates! Art & Imagination Supplies. Also known for their Sticky Fingers Studio, where they collaborate with various art projects.
"My painting style has changed recently as I have questioned why I paint. I used to paint with the hope that someone would love my painting enough to buy it. I don't think that way any more. The idea that an artist can create what ever they can imagine is so much fun, that now I try to stretch my imagination and tell stories with my paintings. I now find myself laughing at the ideas that come to me to paint and I can't wait to see them appear on the canvas."
Now - August 8th– Ojai Artist in the Lobby – Sally Carless
Sally Carless is a photographer, educator, and writer who has called Ojai home for over twenty-five years. Her current exhibit, A Year with the Eagles, is the culmination of a project that began on her birthday in April of 2013 when she went to the lake and discovered two baby eagles! She immediately fell in love, and followed the chicks from when they were just over a week old until they left the nest and flew off to new adventures later that summer. Sally immersed herself, spending hundreds of hours observing, photographing, and filming these amazing beings. She has continued to visit the eagle parents, and is now happily watching their latest chick discover the world. Sally is very excited to share her love of the eagles with the Ojai community. (continued…)
September 20th - Saturday ~ Shred Day 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Start gathering your old documents now. Bring them to the Ojai Community Bank parking lot on Saturday, September 20th between 9 and 12:00 p.m. The items will be shredded on site while you are there.

Now - October 17th– Ojai Artist in the Lobby – Janis Hansen and Her Students
Janis Hansen of (Janis' Art From The Heart) art school and her students will be displaying their works at the Ojai community Bank August 2014 -September 2014.
The show reflects 13 years of teaching as former owner of (Janis' Art workshop) to families of children who started at a young age of 5 and up.
Several generations of family members have participated in Janis' classes over the years.
Shelia Cluff has several pieces along with her 4 grandchildren who have been participating in classes over the 13 years as well as Cohen family who all 4 children have been students for over 4 years. Kathleen Hellwitz and her 3 granddaughters as well have all been doing art over the last 13 years. Alice Ramsay (owner of A&J Chinese food & bamboo creek spa) has been a student for last 3 years as well as her twins.) Her partner Jessica's daughter Christy has been a student for several years as well.
Janis is currently teaching at Ojai Creates Studio and welcoming new students.
Now - December 13th– Ojai Artist in the Lobby – Kirk Lowry
Kirk Lowry has been working with resins for the past 20 years. What started out as a Paper Mache hot air balloon for his grand daughter developed into a strange garden of Paper Mache sculptures that resembled something out of "Little House of Horrors". This developed into sculptural art furniture, that then developed into the paintings that you will see in this show. all of these previous art pieces had resin as the common thread. Along the way, he's developed a very unique style.
Friday, October 31st - Customer Appreciation Day & Halloween Celebration Day 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
We want to thank you, our customers. Join us for a fun afternoon of BBQ hot dogs, Halloween treats, pumpkin carving contest and Halloween costumes. Bring the kids by for trick or treating. Questions call Annette 646-9909 ext. 100

See all Philadelphia Foreclosures.
(all data current as of 12/12/2014)
Listing information deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Read full disclaimer.
Ask even the least experienced real estate novice and he or she will tell you that the latest trend in the real estate market are Philadelphia Foreclosures and Philadelphia short sales. Philadelphia Foreclosures have been hot since the housing market crash because buyers believe that they will be able to purchase homes at deeply discounted prices. This article will give a brief into to Philadelphia Foreclosures and other types of distressed properties.
Distressed Property – A distressed property is a property in which the borrower (home owner) begins missing monthly mortgage payments and has defaulted on his promissory note. For real estate purposes short sales,Philadelphia Foreclosures, and REOs qualify as distressed properties. Philadelphia Foreclosures and other distressed properties typically sell for a price below fair market value.
Short Sale – A short sale is any sale of real estate in which the proceeds from the sale of the property are less than the outstanding debt on the property. A short sale occurs when the debt holder agrees to release all liens against the property in exchange for an amount less than the total amount owed by the owner.
Philadelphia Foreclosures – A foreclosure is actually a legal process that occurs whenever a lender, usually a bank, attempts to recover the balance of a loan from a borrower (homeowner) who has ceased paying his or her debt. At settlement buyers sign both a promissory note and a mortgage. The promissory note is the contract that governs the terms of borrowed money and it includes things like the amount being borrowed, the interest rate and the repayment schedule. The mortgage is the document that puts the property being purchased as collateral for repayment of the loan. If the terms of the promissory note are not met the lender can use the mortgage to foreclose on the property and gain possession. Once the lender has possession of the foreclosed property the lender will usually put the property up for sale as a Philadelphia Foreclosures and keep the proceeds from the sale.
REO – REO or "real estate owned" refers to foreclosed properties that are owned by banks. Philadelphia REO is synonymous with Philadelphia Foreclosures. Once a borrower misses one or more monthly mortgage payments the lender will assess the amount of equity in the property and decide if a short sale is appropriate. If the property does not sell as a short sale and subsequently does not sell at sheriff's sale the lender retakes possession of the property and it becomes part of the bank's REO inventory.
About The Author: Understanding the process of buying Philadelphia Foreclosures can seem daunting but is really pretty simple if you read and follow this advice from Philadelphia Real Estate expert Frank L. DeFazio. Learn more about Philadelphia Foreclosures?

Spring Trend Forecast
The season's four top trends flatter your figure and your finances. And they can mix and match in combos that are fresh (but still feel grown up)
Wear It Well: Stripes
If you're phobic about this pattern, get in line — almost every woman worries it will make her look wider. The solution: Skip horizontals entirely and stick strictly to visually slimming verticals, or choose a purposely off-kilter combo of horizontals and diagonals — like this snappy silk dress — keeps the eye roving.
Left: Play off the shift's color combo with a cobalt cardi and crisp piped wedges. Dress, $40, New York & Co; nyandcompany.com. Cardigan, $39, Uniqlo; uniqlo.com. Venice wedges, $89, Tommy Hilfiger; tommy.com. Floral stretch bracelet, $25, Susan Graver; qvc.com.

RELEASED: Feb. 15, 2011
|Michael Uslan
EAU CLAIRE — Filmmaker Michael Uslan will conclude the 69th season of The Forum lecture series March 8 at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. His presentation, "From Fan to Filmmaker: The Journey to Bring 'Batman' to the Silver Screen," will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Zorn Arena.
Uslan is best known as the originator and executive producer of the "Batman" movie franchise — from Tim Burton's 1989 film to 2008's record-breaking "The Dark Knight." Less well known is that Uslan worked for more than two decades to bring his serious, dark version of the character to the screen. The principles that helped him persevere through years of rejection came from his blue collar New Jersey family, which taught him to "take what you love and make it your work."
Uslan's presentation is a highlight of the campuswide "Be a Hero" campaign.
"Cookies for a Cause," an Artists Series initiative to spotlight nonprofit community organizations, will be adopted by The Forum for this event. Cookies made especially for the program by Blugold Dining will be sold ($2, cash only) at the event, with profits going to benefit the Boys and Girls Club of the Greater Chippewa Valley. The Boys and Girls Club helps young people reach their full potential, gain self-esteem and become responsible citizens.
Established in 1942, The Forum presents the world's greatest minds and imaginations. A typical Forum includes a 60-minute lecture, a 30-minute question-and-answer session and an open reception. The program will be signed for the deaf and hard of hearing. Assisted listening devices and large print programs are also available upon request.
Tickets are $8 for the public, $6 for those 62 and older and UW System or Chippewa Valley Technical College faculty and staff, and $4 for those 17 and younger and UW System or CVTC students. Student tickets are half price, $2, until the day of the event. On the day of the event, students must pay the full student ticket price.
Patrons also may charge their tickets to Discover, MasterCard or Visa when ordering by phone. Call 715-836-3727 or, outside the immediate Eau Claire area, call toll-free 800-949-UWEC. A $3 handling fee will be added to all telephone charge orders.
Wisconsin Public Radio and Community Television have contributed generous promotional support for The Forum. The Forum is also funded in part by Visit Eau Claire ... The Unexpected Wisconsin. Best Western Trail Lodge Hotel & Suites (715-838-9989), 3340 Mondovi Road, is The Forum's exclusive accommodations partner.
The Forum is funded by the students of UW-Eau Claire and administered by the Activities and Programs office of the University Centers.

"Well you got caught with a flatWell how 'bout that?Well babies,Don't you panic..."NAME THAT TUNE KIDDIESyeah. im just that bored.
Not much in Nikki Land. Bored as all fuck.I'm also lazy as all fuck. I don't know how people put up with me. I mean, I know I'm not that bad, but if I was forced to deal with me, I'd probably punch myself in the head. If that makes any sense...Today's been very much a ska day for me. I don't know why. But it's cool.Yeah that's right! I said it! I listen to ska! lol. Or less than jake, anyway. I hear they like to call it PezCore. Hey, I don't care what it's called. I'll like it if you call it ska, pez, or slappy-happy nut cracker. :)I've also been listening to Stephen Lynch because the man's a comical and musical genious. I can't help laughing whenever I hear him. It's just too hilarious.Ska and Lynch, they cheer me up to no end. Reggae's good for that as well.Some guy from woohu was talking to me today. I don't know his name or who he is or anything. Well, I know he's from Michigan. Didn't matter, I had the time. Can't say I'm the most interesting conversationalist. I think you need to have lead an interesting life in order to be. I haven't. 'Tis a rather boring and quite possibly dismal existence I have. Can't say I give a damn, though.Ah, all the interesting shit is in my homepage journal, go there if you're bored. The link's up there.-=- nikki V
( Check it out, very great.. )
Ahh, well, what ws today?Uh, besides thursday and the (i think...) 12th, it was an all right day. Rachella and I were in weird moods. But it was good. very nice.I forgot whatever the hell it was that I meant to post. I did have a reason for updating, but now I can't remember. The thought's gone, up and disappeared like a fart in the wind. Oh well.It's been a trying week. Well, really it hasn't, but I don't care. I'm gonna pretend it has been, so I'm gonna break into the rum tonight. Poor Rachella says she only has some beer, and craves something else. I'm sorry, chickadee, I'd share if I could. :(Oh yeah, Miss Beverly is making me go to some basketball game or something. Sports and I do not mix under any circumstances, so there's my reason to drink. I don't enjoy going to these games with fucking horny-ass pimple-faced hip-hop wanna be's jumping all around and yelling incoherently because they think they're the bad-ass shit. *pfft*! And that's just the crowd. They players are even worse. Those guys actually think they're black, or even have talent. I'm no one to judge on athletics, but jesus. You're fucking confused little white boys, just sit down and think about it. *sheesh*That's all for now.I'm spent.-=- V
All right now, I don't usually read horoscopes. I don't buy them at all, it's all complete bullshit to me and only for naive prepubescents. But I was bored tonight and sitting here reading the TV guide (lol) and I was scanning them reading what they said. I get to mine and I expect to see what it always says for me, something about my work or business associates and all my love affairs. All of that is basically non-existent so my horoscopes are completely wrong anyways. But this time, I got this...Don't let anyone limit your creative expression. If you have something to say, then go right ahead and don't worry about whose tender sensibilities you might offend. If freedom means anything, it means the right to be provocative.Hahaha!!! That actually fits me!! Completely. I was shocked, I've never read a horoscope that actually fit a person. Well, it did this time. Although I know it was pure chance and coincidence, it's still funny to me. Ahh yes, the life of a Libra.I'm spent.
I hit my funny bone earlier. There was nothing funny about it. At all. It stung like a big-ass, hairy bitch. Sent pain up through my arm where it remained in my ring finger and pinkie for a good 5 minutes or so; feeling numb yet at the same time, bad tingly and very stingy. Not nice.Anyways....I'm bored as fuck. Seriously, severely, incurably bored. My pinkie still hurts. I like my little background thingy. :-) My little Nick-smacking-Matt-in-the-head-with-a-shoe-dorkfest thing. hehehe. It makes me giggle. I did have another thing I was gonna have for a background. It was kinda like a colage or some weird/funny/hilarious pictures of some of my favorite bands, and then it had "I <3 DORKS" underneath it. But I don't couldn't figure out how to move the entrie over to the right side. And I also screwed up the uploading a little bit. I'm a fuck head.I have this song stuck in me head, "Saying Good-bye" hahaha. It's from the Muppets Take Manhattan movie, lol. I dunno why, but it's there.I'm spent.-=- V
All right, one entry just looks stupid, doesn't it? So... I'm adding. I think I'm gonna stick with this template thingy for awhile, I likes it. It looks like me friend Rachella's lj. I loved hers. :~) <=(that's a terrible smiley. stupidest looking one I've ever seen. I can't help but feel proud)Ya know those times when it just seems your hair won't do anything? Well, I have that everyday. It usually doesn't bother me in the least, but tonight I just thought about it. It's not so much that I never style it, but the color. I really like my red and black chunking thing I got going on right now, but I still want my blue!! I'm planning on just putting chunks of three different kinds of blue all over my head, once I get the cash. Ah well, I won't have the cash for a while, I be a poor child.I lost my little kid-like, plastic, Animal of the Muppets watch! Yeah, sure the plastic was a little uncomfortable, especially when it got hot, but I still loved it. :( <=I dunno why, but that frown reminds me of a frog or toad or something. Hmm... anyone else?Side note (as if there actually was a point or topic to this post): I need an icon, anyone wanna help me out, maybe point me to where or how I could get one? Maybe a good Mest one? I'd love you forever and a day
Ugh, it's a Teusday. I'm tired. I have some very productive things I should be doing, but I'm not even close to getting started. Instead, I'm making a new journal. Smart, right?Leme break this down for ya... First, I had a blogger that I heard about from my friend JE. Then I got a Woohu journal and abandoned my blog. Then I tried a Live Journal, whilst still using my woohu. I put up one entry in the LJ, and stopped. I dunno, I didn't like it much. So I went back to me woohu. Now, I'm trying a Blurty. It's just like LJ, but I can't help but like this better. I dunno why.This sounds like some weird love chain doesn't it? *shrugs* Guess I have problems with commitment.I'm a proud slacker and a huge dork. I honestly am. I love dorks, I think everyone on the planet is a dork. From the fucking Dhali Llama (no clue, is that spelled right?) to Steve Erwin. It's just that no one wants to admit it. People get too wrapped up in acting cool or trying to be smooth and suave. Be dork, man! You'll have so much more fun and everything will be so much more relaxed.Anything you wanna know about me is in my user info, as usual.I think that's all for now.I'm spent.-=- nikki

... I want to put it aside for now – just by not thinking of it, maybe it can remove the depression hat off me.
BlueTrail has written 12 entries about this goal
Holidays are so rough… I got more depressed than before. Right now I am sitting here and thinking about what life is for. What if life gets so boring all the time?? How can I cope with it? Can I take it?
don't i wish life is just happiness – without anxiety, without depression, without fear, without perfectionism?
this question by itself is a form of perfectionism, unfortunately… i have been trapped badly and i had gone NONE instead of ALL in the past 72 hours. i had been sleeping, eating, watching tv shows etc… doing everything else but anything useful or productive.
i even started smoking – i really went pretty far to try to wake myself up and find stimulations
I found a great video clip talking about how regular exercise can help to battle depression. I would like to share with you and be sure to check it out -
i heard some noise first and looked around… then i realized that it is raining outside. sometimes i felt very blue for the raining day. today is not quite. maybe it's because that i got up early? anyways, yesterday wasn't pretty… yet today is another day. not sure it's going to be good or bad but i am still here writing this post – so i am still hoping the best!
i took a friend's advice and did something nice before i go to bed. i took a nice shower just now and clean up my table a bit for tomorrow. i also put away things left in the kitchen. now i can go to sleep and read the catalog from New York Institute of Photography. tomorrow is a new day. when i wake up, the sun is shining and the bird is chirping. it will be a beautiful day.
haven't done anything for the whole night… felt anxious and restless. still haven't started to watch the class videos. looks like i am better off go to bed. maybe there is something in the air…
after a full day of classes, i became very tired, easily distracted, and anxious… i just finished a whole bag of popcorn and didn't eat much for dinner. i didn't know what i did in the last two hours but the time was just gone….
i still have two huge goals for today… maybe it is the HUGE tasks intimidated me… but tomorrow they are both due. just have to do them ASAP! today looks like a bit of a down turn regarding my energy level and my emotions… i hope i can get over this temporary obstacle and continue to be positive
i wonder if anybody knows how to be productive when being tired?
better diet, concert, support, 43 things, setting reasonable goals, getting up early, clean room, candle, more water and tea, walking outside, flowers…. all these helped me to keep my depression under control!!
today while i was listening to the music, i realized that i didn't need to be the person i was trying so hard to be. i could just be myself – i don't need to worry too much about public speaking, about portraying confidence, about showing enthusiasm…. i am just me… there is so many other things in this world that i could associate with and could find joy from.
i think i will try to attend concert, performances, and art show once in a while – the often the better. i really really enjoy these things and i think they wakes up my soul – my deeply hidden soul and bring me to the surface to breathe.

Even though Kate Hudson is reaching her sixth month of pregnancy with baby number two, it doesn't look like she'll be slowing down anytime soon. With a summer blockbuster, Something Borrowed scheduled to hit theaters on May 6th, Kate's been busier than ever promoting the film. In fact, on Wednesday, April 4th, the stylish mommy-to-be traipsed around New York City making the talk show rounds. She managed to pull double duty, simultaneously chatting up her new movie and announcing her engagement to Muse frontman (and her new baby's father) Matt Bellamy. Her gigantic, emerald cut rock is certainly something to swoon over, but we have to admit that we were slightly more impressed with the expecting mother's four separate (yet equally fabulous) wardrobe changes in one day! Keep reading for photos of Kate's whirlwind day of fashion in NYC, and sound off below with your favorite looks!
Kate began her day early with Matt Lauer, flashing her huge sparkler alongside her burgeoning baby bump. We were glad to see the star looking happier than she has in years, and are delighted to report that she chose a pitch-perfect morning show wardrobe. Her lavender minidress with cute cap sleeves was just edgy enough for the morning show crowd, and her nude peep toe slingbacks were her best accessory.
After Today, Kate quickly changed into a multicolored bandana-style frock and flesh-tone blazer. Flowing, hippie-chick dresses are great for expecting mothers, because they provide plenty of wiggle room to grow throughout a pregnancy, yet still look great. Kate's vibrant purple Christian Louboutins completed her street chic style to perfection. Next, Kate arrived at the Ed Sullivan Theatre to film a segment with David Letterman – in a different frock! She kept her beige jacket, but swapped out her dress for a gauzy white confection and ballerina pink Louboutins.
Finally, Kate ended her night on-set with Letterman, in a spaghetti strap little black dress with tiny flecks of silver sparkle. We're dying over her towering black satin peep toe platforms, and plan to grab a similar pair for our (non-pregnant) selves! Which of Kate's wardrobe changes was your favorite?

ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) -- A man convicted of home invasions, burglaries and forced sex acts upon women has received a life sentence.
A Montgomery County judge sentenced 34-year-old Kevin Ray on Tuesday to life in prison plus 220 years. Ray was convicted in April of crimes including burglary, first-degree assault, sex offense and false imprisonment.
Prosecutors say Ray committed crimes across the Washington area in early 2012. In one case in Bethesda, prosecutors say Ray tied up residents and sexually assaulted a housekeeper before getting away. A day before, authorities say he stole cash and a vehicle during a home invasion in Silver Spring.
Montgomery County State's Attorney John McCarthy says Ray "is a career violent criminal" who deserves a life sentence.

Children should be involved at mealtimes
Parents should aim to involve their children in the preparation of meals, as doing so will bring many benefits for the youngsters. This is the view of Glasgow-based Chartered Psychologist Dr Christy Fergusson, speaking in response to a University of Illinois study that showed that eating as a family can help combat obesity in adolescence.
Dr Fergusson explains that including youngsters in cooking can make them feel a part of the process, as well as helping them learn all about different foods.
She advises: "If you have some pizza bases and you all put together a pizza, kids can get involved. Obviously centre it around healthy food or a healthy meal."
Mums and dads may also want to be organised in their eating practices, as Dr Fergusson recommended keeping meals structured in order to get everybody eating together.
With the television switched off, the family will be encouraged to talk about what they have been up to during the day, she adds.

Masters Of The Universe
By Michael Martin
As the primary songwriter for Depeche Mode, Martin Gore is the architect of some of the most darkly beautiful and sexually interesting pop music ever. When the band hit in the early '80s, they were groundbreaking, taking their synth-driven tales of kinky sex and near-spiritual romance to the top of the charts. Provocative phrases in songs like "Master and Servant" and "People Are People" -- and the band's judicious use of leather pants and eyeliner -- made the band extremely gay-interesting, if not gay-identified: though Gore is married and has two kids, he never made noise about correcting assumptions. Meanwhile, his intensely romantic lyrics provided enough electricity for the band to top the album charts in the grungy '90s (more than ten years after their debut), steer them past a rough patch that saw frontman Dave Gahan attempt suicide and enter rehab, and continually re-emerge with major hits. DM's brand of electropop has become classic, and much-copied: as the airwaves fill with acolytes, their sound is as fresh as ever. Their new album, Sounds of the Universe, comes out today. This summer, the band embarks on their first stadium tour of Europe. Gore spoke from his Santa Barbara, California, home.
Out: Why'd you come back?
Martin Gore: We never really go away. We have a hiatus of about three to four years between albums. Not because we're lazy. I got back to songwriting in 2007 and wrote through that year. We had a band meeting around February 2008, where we decided to get back in the studio. During that time Dave put out a solo record, so he was busy with that.
When you first arrived on the scene, your songs were a kind of pop-chart solace for sexually ambiguous and generally kinky-minded people. As the primary songwriter, do you take credit for that?
The whole process of songwriting and the way you're able to communicate with a mass of people globally is an amazing concept. I've had people come up to me saying, "You've changed my life." A little idea you get in the room on your own, doodling away and go out there and affect so many people's lives.
Did you ever feel like you were getting away with something?
I like the idea of doing something different. Early on, somebody somewhere called it "perverted pop" and noted you could get way with murder if you dressed it up in the guise of pop. [Laughs] We were very aware of what we were doing.
As a songwriter, are you still interested in the same themes?
I think that there are certain things that are recurrent. Recurring nightmares, maybe, that keep coming back. Dave sometimes laughs that I've made a career out of five topics.
Such as?
Obviously a general relationship theme. Love, lust, sex, power. They're all kind of interlinked, really. Maybe it's one topic.
