Jay Leeuwenburg
Jay Leeuwenburg is an imposing, 6-foot, three-inch, 295-pound physical specimen which goes a long way in his field of work as an offensive lineman in the National Football League (NFL). Even before Leeuwenburg was a teenager, he weighed as much as 170 pounds. At the age of 12, however, he began losing weight at a rapid pace, and eventually whittled away to 130 pounds. Upon seeing a doctor, Leeuwenburg discovered he had type 1 diabetes.
"At the age of 12, I had not yet thought about being a player the NFL," says Leeuwenburg. "My main focus after being diagnosed with diabetes was to live a normal life and try to fit in."
Making Exercise a Priority to Control His Diabetes
Leeuwenburg immediately learned all he could about type 1 diabetes and how to manage it. One of the things that he learned was that exercise was a helpful way to control the condition. In high school, Leeuwenburg made it a priority to be physically active throughout the year. He accomplished this by playing football and basketball, as well as being a member of the wrestling team.
"From the onset of my diagnosis, I made exercise a part of my diabetes regimen," says Leeuwenburg, who adds that he never had any doubts that diabetes would hinder him in any way.
Leeuwenburg was a good enough offensive lineman to earn a scholarship to the University of Colorado. It wasn't until his senior season at Colorado that he realized he was capable of fulfilling his dream to play in the NFL. In 1992, Leeuwenburg was drafted by the Chicago Bears and became an all-pro offensive lineman. Leeuwenburg started every game from 1993 and 1995 before joining the Indianapolis Colts, where he appeared in another 37 consecutive games. Today, he plays for the Cincinnati Bengals and credits his impressive track record to hard work, lots of sugar and preparation.
High-Calorie Diet
Leeuwenburg says that he manages his type 1 diabetes while maintaining the rigorous exercise schedule of a professional athlete by following a high-calorie diet.
"On non-game days, I usually eat 4 to 6 eggs with 4 ounces of sausage, 2 pieces of toast and 1 piece of fruit. I also drink 2 cups of coffee with cream," explains Leeuwenburg, who says that this diet helps him with training and recovering from injuries. "For lunch, I eat 2 turkey sandwiches, 1 low-fat yogurt, one banana and 2 cookies. Dinner is a salad, a 16-ounce glass of milk, 12 to 16 ounces of meat, a baked potato with low-fat sour cream, and a desert, usually ice cream."
On game days, Leeuwenburg eats at breakfast consisting of 6 eggs and 4 pancakes, 3 to 4 pieces of fruit and 2 chicken breasts. He then takes 18 units of Humalog and 8 units of Humalin N on a sliding scale.
"It's important to keep in mind that I'm eating a lot more at breakfast on [game days] than I usually eat for breakfast," he says. "So I take more insulin because if your sugars get too elevated you become dehydrated and I get dehydrated enough with the game."
Leeuwenburg does not eat a lunch on game days because it conflicts with game. he does, however, eat a "lunch-size" dinner after the game. He then takes 14 units of Humalog and eats a normal dinner. At bedtime, he then takes 10 units of Humalin N."
When Leeuwenburg is not training, he says that he cuts his caloric intake by 30 percent.
Testing 40 Times on Game Days
On normal days, Leeuwenburg tests 8 to 10 times. On games days, however, he tests as much as 40 times, including every half hour leading up to game time. He once had a hypo during a game in high school and drank a six-pack of Coke to correct it. In college, he switched to glucose tablets. Today, the Bengal's trainer keeps Gatorade by the bench in the event that Leeuwenburg goes low.
"It gets in my blood stream quickly with no problems."
HbA1cs Between 4.9 and 5.8%
Leeuwenburg usually keeps his blood sugars around 120 mg/dl and his HbA1cs between 4.9 and 5.8%. When asked if he lets his blood sugars get high before a game, Leeuwenburg replies that each person with diabetes is different.
"On game days, I start at about 220 mg/dl and that works for me," he says. "I usually drink Gatorade during the first quarter, and then water the rest of the game."
Leeuwenburg says that he will only take insulin during a game if his blood sugars are high at halftime.
"I don't take any insulin at halftime unless I'm over 300 mg/dl," says Leeuwenburg, adding a word of caution. "It does not take much insulin to lower my sugars."
Active in the Diabetes Community
Jay Leeuwenburg is on the board of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation (JDF). In October 1999, he testified before Congress for more research money for diabetes. He also works closely with JDF, Roche Diagnostics and Eli Lilly to develop programs that help educate and motivate other people with diabetes.
Leeuwenburg was instrumental in helping start the "Bag of Hope" program in which bags were distributed to children recently diagnosed with diabetes. The "Bag of Hope" contains a workbook that explains diabetes in simple terms, a video where Leeuwenburg shares his experiences and gives tips on living with diabetes, a life-size growth chart of Leeuwenburg that reads "Yes, I Can! Yes, I Can!" and a workbook for parents of children with diabetes.
Prepare for the Worst and Hope for the Best
As Leeuwenburg prepares for the bumps and bruises that will come with being an offensive lineman in the trenches, he sticks by his motto that has made him successful in controlling diabetes and the NFL.
"Prepare for the worst and hope for the best with diabetes and life."

"What U Mean," the slightly reprehensible fuck-or-get-out track from Big K.R.I.T.'s Live From The Underground album, has a new video from Decatur Dan, quickly becoming one of the most dependable working rap-video directors. This one has K.R.I.T. and collaborator Ludacris, recapturing some of his early-'00s guest-verse zeal, firing away in crisp black-and-white. I love the shots of K.R.I.T. banging on the MPC.

Most students with disabilities will never serve in the military, but a one-of-a-kind program in Maryland is using lessons from the armed forces to help with everyday life.
The Young Marines is a national program that uses military principles to teach students across the country. But a special unit at the Kennedy Krieger High School in Baltimore is the only one to focus exclusively on middle and high school students with disabilities.
Students in the program have everything from autism to intellectual disability, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and brain injuries. The unit's leader 1st Sgt. Vivian Price-Butler, who is a veteran of the Iraq war, adjusts lessons to accommodate various reading levels and other special needs.
Nonetheless, Price-Butler holds all students to a high standard. Everyone learns about the military and does service projects, putting together care packages or visiting hospitals, for example. They are also taught the value of discipline, learning to tuck in their shirts and listen to their parents.
For many of the students, Price-Butler's approach is likely to have lasting effect, parents say. "When she speaks, these kids straighten right up and listen," one student's mother told The Washington Post. To read more click here.

All I can say is Ooo-Rah! 1st Sgt Price-Butler Ooo-Rah!.
This sounds like a wonderful program, a way to get kids involved in an organized activity for inclusion and to help them for their entire lives. I applaud 1st Sgt. Vivian Price-Butler
I would LOVE to see this reproduced, & spread like wildfire.
1st Sgt. Vivian Price-Butler, God bless you.

on September 26, 2011I like Melissa Harris-Perry. She's a bright and funny presence in a pundit empire that can't see fit to send Pat Buchanan off into the Sinai with a staff and a bag of rice. But, my word, this is all such terrible bollocks. Which is not to say that there might not be white liberals who are so flannel-brained as to give her argument some anecdotal truth. But in these situations, I find it helpful to remember the words of Adam Clayton Powell: Beware of Greeks bearing gifts, colored men looking for loans, and whites who "understand the Negro."
Speaking for myself, I did not vote for Barack Obama because I thought he'd be salvific for either me or the nation. I voted for him because he was the Democratic candidate and the Republicans had spent eight years hurling the entire American experiment down the slopes of Mount Doom. (Also, a lot of liberals voted for Bill Clinton in 1996 in large part because the Republican Congress had begun to show symptoms of what would flower into the impeachment dementia.) The problems I have with him have nothing to do with the fact that he hasn't saved the country. They have to do with the fact that he thought he needed Tim Geithner to help him do it.

Home › Academics › Colleges › Collins College of Business › Business Departments and Schools › School of Finance, Operations Mgmt & International Business › News Events and Publications › News › TU Professor Awarded Fulbright Scholarship for Business Research
Wednesday, April 18, 2007
Published on 4/18/07
University of Tulsa finance professor J. Markham Collins has been awarded a Fulbright scholarship to lecture and research in Eger, Hungary during 2008. Collins, who also serves as the associate dean of TU's College of Business Administration, will be a guest faculty member at the Institute of Economic Science at Eszterhazy Karoly College for five months beginning in February 2008.He will teach finance and serve as an academic consultant for the administration on the college's programs. TU's College of Business Administration has had an ongoing relationship with Hungary since 1990, and Collins has written two business principles books for the Hungarian market. One of his books, "About Finances Not Only for Financial Experts" has attracted attention because of its unique presentation."Hungarians have been interested in this finance book because it uses the country's existing accounting rules and applies them to insights and examples from the United States," Collins said. "Other American authors have only applied U.S. accounting principles to U.S. explanations without a Hungarian perspective. This book offers them something new, something different.""About Finances Not Only for Financial Experts," is in its third edition and was co-authored by Collins' wife, Rebecca Collins, who was a TU accounting professor at the time it was written. Collins hopes to gather new information from his Fulbright visit to enhance a possible future edition of the book. His second publication for the Hungarian market is entitled "Cash Flow and Liquidity Management."Both books present the material in a dual language format -- pages present one side in English with the facing page in Hungarian. Collins believes this format is popular in the country because it builds business language skills for Hungarian students while reinforcing the information by presenting it twice.Collins also said he looks forward to furthering the research he conducted with TU alumnus and current MBA student Haden Snyder. Their collaborative research project focused on ethnic Hungarians in Transylvania and the diversity of workplace attitudes from the country's different population groups, namely Germans, Hungarians and Romanians. "The Fulbright award will allow me to expand on our baseline research and apply it to a larger population in a different geographical area," Collins said. He hopes to build a partnership with a large company that operates in both Hungary and Romania for a comparative study of employees and the business environment. The research could potentially be widely used because their general methodology could be applied to other ethnically diverse work environments.The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program sends approximately 1,100 American scholars and professionals per year to more than 130 countries, where they lecture and/or conduct research in a wide variety of academic and professional fields. The Fulbright program, which is funded by Congress, is designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. Since 1997, TU has had six students receive Fulbright grants through this national competition.

I love the countertop cabinets in michelle16's kitchen. I am getting 24" standard countertops. 4 drawers would be below and I'm wondering if the top cabinets which would start right on top of the counter and go almost to the ceiling for glasses, mugs and some pottery display should be 15" or 18" deep. I'm also debating 30 vs 24 wide (4 drawer base cabinet.) Is 18" too deep?
Thanks |

Mine is 14" deep, full overlay, and fits everything I want to store. Dinner plates, pasta bowls, cereal bowls, both sized of drinking glasses, mugs, etc. I think you'd be more than fine with 15". |
- Posted by michelle16 (My Page) on Tue, Nov 20, 12 at 19:05
Hi Alexx- glad u like it, mine is 15 1/4 deep. I feel that is plenty. I think 18" might be too much. Might not be enough counter in front of it, to acheive the look.Unless you are going for a total hutch seperate furniture look, where this peice is by itself- and not paired with another -like mine, than in that case, I think 18" would be okay. |
- Posted by michelle16 (My Page) on Tue, Nov 20, 12 at 19:07
Forgot to add, that mine is 29 1/2 wide- so almost 30", which I think is needed to have glass wide enough for 2 doors, to visually see the glasses, mugs,etc. Are you doing just one of these cabinets by itself, or 2 like mine?? |
I wish I had room for two but right now,it's just one as the anchor end of a galley kitchen. We're opening up a wall and adding a wall of pantries but I think i'll miss the glass doors that I currently have and, love the look of these types of cabs--just don't want to give up practical storage space (at 18") but if 15 is enough and the counter showings nice then I'm good wi 15. Michelle16--totally unrelated but what is the overhang on both your regular counters as well as the island where you have the turquoise chairs? Breezy girl--also a beautiful cabinet. How wide is it? We're your cabinets custom or semi custom? Thanks you both |
Michelle16, I have a layout posted a couples pages into the forum "kitchen advice please transitional shaker kitchen for family". Would love your comments! I have proposed a wall of pantries. I wonder how those would look grey like yours. |

We have an 18" x18" which is perfect for large serving bowls. Here's another photo-taken after we dumped stuff in there and before we organized! |
- Posted by breezygirl (My Page) on Wed, Nov 21, 12 at 13:32
Thanks, Alexx. My cab is 24" wide by 14" deep. |
- Posted by michelle16 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 21, 12 at 15:08
Hi Alexx- the overhang on the island is i beleive 15". The counters are standard for inset which If i remember correctly is 1 inch. I think with an overlay door, you do more of an overhang to accommodate the cabinet door sticking out. I will measure, to make sure. Are you doing inset as well?? |
@michelle16: I think we are doing frameless overlay (not inset). I wonder what the minimum overhang is to still work for sitting??? @ breezygirl: thanks for the measurements--I'm thinking 24 or 27 wide; will need to think about how deep based on items and the counterspace needed. @1929spanish: THANK YOU for your photos, that helps me compare the counterspace difference to breezygirl. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. |

Here's what Buehl writes about counter overhang for seating: "The National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) recommends a minimum seating overhang (clear space) of: From personal experience, I think these are excellent recommendations. I have sat at 12" overhangs at counter-height and found them too shallow. We have 15" and it's OK, but my DH would have liked 18". We have friends w/a 12" counter-height overhang and I find it uncomfortable to sit at for any length of time. I have to sit sideways or "straddle" the peninsula or sit far from the counter edge. None of those is comfortable. My DH won't sit at it at all b/c he finds it much too uncomfortable. (I'm 5'10" & my DH is 6'5".)" ----------------------------------------------- My overhang is 17", and I find that to be almost perfect. Like Buehl, I'm not comfortable with 12". As an tall-ish adult, I can sit for extended periods of time at our counter stools with ease. |

I am 5'3" but with long legs for someone my height ... We have 15" counter height overhang and I find it very comfortable. My knees are nowhere near the back and do not hit the corbels either. Anything over 10" (I think) needs support under the granite, whether that be corbels, or other type of support. We do use backless stools however, which may make a difference. Our KD (or our granite guy?) tried to convince us to use less, but I insisted on 15" overhang based on the excellent information I received here. |

I am admiring all of the glass cabs in this thread, BUT I am wondering why most of you have opted out of interior lighting and glass shelves.... |
- Posted by 1929Spanish (My Page) on Sat, Jan 5, 13 at 22:06
My cabinet is about function - dish storage, not display. The photo you see was taken while we were waiting for two additional shelves and had stuff crammed in there. We happen to have dishes we like to show, but cabinets weren't lighted in the 20's, and we didn't think it was necessary to light them now. That whole wall plus the two small cabinets on either side of the sink are glass. |
- Posted by Lorenza5064 (My Page) on Sat, Jan 5, 13 at 22:19
I plan to use glass that is textured and obscures the contents of the cab. The cabinet that will serve as a bar will have retractable "pocket" doors and a mirrored back. Glass shelves are appropriate for this application because solid shelves would not allow the light to illuminate the cab from top to bottom. |
- Posted by breezygirl (My Page) on Sat, Jan 5, 13 at 22:47
Wy didn't I do lighting and glass shelves in my hutch? I was my own GC on a whole house reno, dealing with some difficult subs, have two young children and a DH who works long hours and travels very often, and was helping my Dad through prostate cancer surgery and radiation. I was a bit overwhelmed. When I changed the layout of the rooms in the main part of the house, including moving the kitchen, halfway through the reno, I was just happy to have a dish hutch in the new kitchen space! The lighting plan for the house was a major thorn in my side. I didn't know what to put where and struggled for some time with it. Learning how to light a large cabinet with shelves seemed just too much for my stuffed and stressed out brain. I knew it was expensive and complicated to do so. I was already over budget on so many items and decided that lighting the cab wasn't a priority. Like 1929Spanish, I knew this cab would be functional for storage not for pretty display. Besides, I'm not sure how all the dishes and glass would look lit. I don't think I'd like it much. Why highlight my boring stuff? My kitchen isn't about sparkly, shiny, glam areas everywhere you look. Sorry for the long explanation! HTH! |

Former sous chef Ben Davison, who'd moved to Mel's after a stint at Michael's of Cherry Creek (that space at 2710 East Third Avenue is now Déjà-Vu), is in charge of the kitchen. And that means a new menu, although Mel's focus continues to be New American takes on Mediterranean fare, with a few Asian items thrown in for fusion fun.
Meanwhile, Sorensen, who had been the chef at the now-defunct Starfish, another Mel and Janie Master production (its space at 300 Fillmore Street is now home to Campo di Fiori), had been planning to move to New York until the terrorist attack. He now thinks San Francisco will be his next stop.
Tyler Wiard, another Mel's veteran, just landed in Morro Bay, California (that's on the central coast, twelve miles west of San Luis Obispo), as chef/partner at a restaurant called Windows on the Water, a name he hopes to change. (And better sooner than later, considering the fate of Windows on the World, which had topped the World Trade Center.) Although Wiard says he would never have picked this location for his next project -- it was one of those friend-of-a-friend connections -- the restaurant presented an opportunity to expand on his eclectic modern-American style. "You would not believe the farmers' market here, which is a mile long -- and the wine industry is so incredible," he says. "It's like a chef's dream."
Although Wiard says he'd like to return to Denver, two things might prevent him from doing so: the economy, which he thinks is no longer conducive to opening a high-end eatery, and the possibility that Denver may one day be a terrorist target. "I don't want to sound paranoid or anything, but right now I'd rather live somewhere more obscure, you know?" he says.
Out of Habit: In my review this week, I raved about the lunch buffet at Namasté. But all-you-can-eat deals may be falling out of favor, if the recent closing of the remaining Healthy Habits locations is any indication. The small chain had shut down its Boulder site (4760 Baseline Road) last year, and now the eateries at 875 South Colorado Boulevard, 7418 South University Boulevard in Littleton and 14195 West Colfax Avenue in Golden are gone, too.
Finding any spread worthy of the Best Salad Bar award in our annual Best of Denver issue has become increasingly tough over the last few years. Even Wendy's, arguably the chain that put salad bars on the map, dropped them a few years ago because, as owner Dave Thomas announced at the time, "Offering fresh food on an all-you-can-eat basis has become too labor-intensive and cost-ineffective." I'd submit that we've also begun to move away from craving excessive amounts of low-grade food for cheap and toward smaller amounts of quality food for which we're willing to pay a fair price.
Now, if we could just start working on the ludicrous reality of paying $12.95 for a plate of mediocre food big enough to feed three people -- not that any of the three want to eat it...
Right on 'cue: The calls and e-mails about my September 13 Bite item regarding Brothers BBQ have been pouring in faster than a runny Kansas City-style sauce. It seems that more than a few folks had noticed the high grime factor at the newer spot (568 Washington Street), and several people mentioned that the original location at 6499 Leetsdale Drive wasn't exactly clean, either. "I can't figure out how Brothers passes city inspections," wrote Rich Clarkson, a note that prompted me to check on the eateries' health-department ratings. Although there's no inspection listed for the Washington Street location, the May 28, 2001, inspection of the Leetsdale site found only two violations out of a possible 34: personnel in need of training on food safety and food not stored below 41 degrees. (Check out the report -- or any others on Denver restaurants -- by logging on to denvergov.org.) And cleanliness wasn't my correspondents' only concern. "The Washington Street location has gotten so slow that I only go there if I can call ahead, and even then, the food is rarely ready," wrote Carl Goodwin.
Early this month, owners Chris and Nick O'Sullivan had pledged to clean up their act. So after getting off a ten-day river trip, one of my first stops was at the Washington Street Brothers. Things were looking pretty tidy there, and one of the kitchen employees was even out wiping down the tables. The service was definitely speedier, too. I had a few issues with my to-go order: I'd asked for a quart of Brothers' tangy sauce (which goes so well with the pulled pork) but accidentally got the sweeter version, and I didn't get any of the little sampler cups of sauce that normally come with the $16.95 dinner deal that includes a half-pound of meat, two sides and four buns. But I'd been so 'cue-deprived that I didn't care.

Since my last climb up Fargo street on 2/23/11, I was filled with both anticipation AND apprehension about Sunday's (3/6/11) "Annual Fargo hill street climb challenge"! When I did my climb back on 2/23/11, I had nearly collapsed upon finishing, and my lungs continued to burn like fire for the next 24 hours! So I had serious doubts as to if I could ever do it again!
With the hundreds of bikers, spectators, media, plus my LBS sponsor and my brother were there, so I had everything riding on this!
I got to Fargo early, and signed up and got my lucky number "7", and then it was time to face the music! So after some stretching and a good deep breath, I mounted my 24" mountain unicycle, and went for it! After about 100 feet I realized that, unlike last time, THIS time there were other participants…on BIKES…that I had to contend with during the climb!
They space the riders out as best they can but, invariably, people tend to bunch up now and then, and it happened to me more than once! I found myself having to balance in one spot, and sometimes hop in place, to avoid a collision! That slowed me down a bit, and gravity would throw me back down the massive 33% grade hill each time I hopped!
But, at the ¾ point up, I started gaining confidence that I might pull it off! To my great surprise, my legs felt strong with no noticeable lactic acid, and my lungs weren't burning like last time. With 50 feet to go, I knew I had it in the bag, and as I crested the top, I felt relief and great excitement, and this time, instead of nearly collapsing after my last climb when my buddy Steve was there, I THRUST my uni over my head in victory, as a tribute to my broter waiting below. I got my patch and now it was official!
After a few minutes, I rode back down, got lots of high fives, and chatted with several people. After giving a couple interviews with media that was there, a reporter from OC Register—who was late getting there and missed my climb—just asked me to "recreate it" by riding up for only about 20 feet, so he could snap some shots for the paper.
I said sure, and casually started my short, 20 foot climb. But after he said thanks and got the shot, I decided to keep going! So many more people had arrived since my first climb, so I thought, why not. I've already got my patch, so if I can't make it a second time, no biggie, I've got my patch anyway!
So I kept going…and going…and…I made it to the top for a *second* time in a row! Wow! From what the organizers told me, and they're been doing this even since the early 1990's, I am not only the oldest, but the ONLY person to have EVER successfully climbed Fargo on a unicycle! They say a few others have tried over the years, but none got very far. Next year I'll try for five climbs! Ok, I know that's a big goal, but I can dream can't I? lol.

The I-Pass is an electronic device that drivers put in their cars to expedite the process of traveling on toll roads in the state of Illinois. The I-Pass offers an advantage to drivers that equip their vehicles with it, because it can significantly save them time on their travels. Drivers that have the I-Pass installed in their vehicle can pass through toll checkpoints in Illinois without having to go through one of the booths. This means the I-Pass transponder will register the car going through the checkpoint without stopping, while those without an I-Pass device have typically stop to pass through toll booths.
Another nice feature of the I-Pass system is so-called "video-tolling." I-Pass users who for some reason forget their I-Pass transponder can still roll through the toll checkpoints at full speed, and their I-Pass account will be charged for the toll by their license plate number. This is a nice feature, but customers who abuse this privilege will have their I-Passes revoked and be charge fines for evasion of tolls.
Users pay their I-Pass account through credit card payments that can be made online at the I-Pass website. Users load money onto their accounts with their credit cards, and the account is automatically refilled with the credit card on file when it drops below a certain amount.
As well as all Illinois Tollways and the Chicago Skyway, the I-Pass can be used on other states' toll roads. These include the Indiana Tollway, the Ohio Turnpike, toll roads in New York and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The I-Pass is also good at all EZPass toll roads in the northeastern United States.
BESTPASS is completely interoperable on these facilities with the same or enhanced discounts and services.

The fail trail – the do's and don'ts when a social media PR crises hits [infographics]
More often than not, silence is never the best option when it comes to company gaffes.
A holding statement acknowledging an issue is good, it shows empathy and action. The next step is to establish the facts of the scenario and to make a further, timely response when these are established. Read More
The archaic approach of Ryanair to social media
One of the main reasons cited behind this decision was his claim that Facebook is a 'two-way tool' and maintaining a dedicated account would probably mean 'hiring two more people just to sit on Facebook all day'. Read More
Twitter is an editorial medium and brands must get tone of voice right
Twitter held an event yesterday that highlighted once again the importance of finding your voice on Twitter. I've written about this a number of times. At Powered by Tweets, the issue was brought to life by professional Tweeter David Levin who, among other things, is the voice of the Dolphin pub in London's Hackney. He also works for brands such as Adidas among others, but really came to prominence recently for what has become known as, "possibly the greatest conversation on Twitter ever". Read More
Ryanair is an analogue brand in a digital world and must change
Controversial low-cost airline Ryanair's negative attitude to all aspects of digital except ticket sales is a fast track to creating a socially toxic brand on a global scale.
One story in the past couple of weeks has leapt out as a case study for brands in how not to act in social media. It tells of a brand sticking its fingers in its ears and refusing to be told or to listen.
No surprise that the brand in question is everybody's favourite budget airline, Ryanair. Read More
Ryanair chief Michael O'Leary calls Facebook critic "an idiot"
Apparently never one to miss an own goal Ryanair chief executive, Michael O'Leary, has called the woman who racked up 560,000 likes, for her Facebook post about excessive charges, an idiot.
After being charged €300 by Ryanair for printing six boarding passes Suzy McLeod posted on Facebook asking people to like her post if they thought the charges were unfair.
And like it they did. In a couple of days she had more than 350,000 likes. That has now risen to more than 500,000. O'Leary though is unimpressed and he laid into the woman at a press conference yesterday. Read More
Ryanair passenger wins support of 357,000 Facebook users after €300 charges
UPDATE: There seems an almost inexhaustible supply of people wanting to share their unhappiness with Ryanair. The number of Facebook likes now stands at more than 387,000 and comments at 19,475.
TUESDAY - Ryanair is a brand that barely exists in social media, but it is one that is possibly one of the most talked about. Certainly in the UK and Ireland.
The story of a woman who was charged €300 by Ryanair for printing six boarding passes, and won the support of more than 357,000 users after she posted on Facebook in just five days, is a prime example of that.
But what of Rynair's response in social channels? Absolutely nothing, not a peep, it chooses not to engage and acts like an analogue rather than a digital brand. It begs the question is Ryanair a socially toxic (but successful) brand? Read More
Sir Martin O'Sorrell
Once upon a time in Ireland, if you earned your living as a writer, you didn't have to pay income tax. What a great way to encourage a creative culture, from the country that brought you Joyce, Behan, Yeats and Samuel Beckett. Now WPP is moving to Ireland to take advantage of the tax conditions.
Is the Irish government encouraging creative accounting as well? Of course it's not so simple. WPP is a holding company with hundreds of entities serving a variety of distributed client contracts around the world. It is, on one level, a British 'success story'.
As the Goverment launches its 'Creative Britain' campaign, it seems ironic that one of the major firms that capitalises on creative talent should be fleeing the country. I wonder if they'll all fly Ryanair.

I have very white, pinkish skin, so most pinks look terrible on me. I picked this colour at a sale, hoping that it would look good on me, and to my surprise it does. Does it ever! It's my favourite pink now, no question. :)
Application was a dream. It's a 2-coater like most of the polishes, the formula just perfect.
It is a bit lighter than in the bottle, but most polishes are.

An absolutely lovely rosey copper plummy gold shimmer. It's gorgeous - and not so warm that those who love cooler tones can't wear it. Great autumn shade. Very similar to an older (few years) OPI shade called 'I'd like to thank..'
Many of the China Glaze frosts are very sheer, and may take 3 coats before you are satisfied - but this one is more opaque, 2 coats is plenty. Luckily I can determine this before I buy, as my local beauty supply allows you to test polishes on paper. I find that if I use Sally Hansen Maximum Growth as a base coat, I can get up to a week with no chips with China Glaze - and that is without wearing gloves every time I wash dishes.
Definitely going to get a backup of this color!

Love this color for Fall it's a beautiful mauvey gold duo and I love it. It looks beautiful on my nails for the season. I put on 2 coats with the China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat which I am now almost done with and it still works beautiful. These are great nail polishes because 2 coats cover beautifully no streaking as I added pics because I really love how it looks on my hands they don't look old lol.
I also like the packaging the handle is easy to use and the brush doesn't apply too much or little color it is just right.
I'm only 33 but certain colors can make your hands look not so pretty but this color works well with my super pale pink toned skin. It makes for a beautiful manicure and eventually I am going to try the Gold Crackle over it to see how that works out. All in all a great polish and color for Fall. I really love it and it goes on beautifully and lasts a while before it chips but granted you should use a top coat in my opinion because it just makes the color look fresher. Highly recommended my sister loves it too so I know who will be borrowing it. So it's a definite goodie:)

Awakening (China Glaze) is part of the brand's core collection, I think- at least from the displays I've seen it seems to be. It is a pretty shifter though it's probably a love it or hate it kind of polish. I can't pin the color down though my camera seems to think that pink, gold, and purple seem to be in the running. I did a wikipedia color search and a mix of rose and mauve seems to be the closest approximate. Sort of. It's not exactly a color that calms down long enough for me to pin it down. With all that, it still manages to be subtle and not at all outrageous for all its depth. Application was simple and straightforward and I was done in two coats. If you like this sort of color, get it!

The color been described adequately enough but the finish compared to what's in the bottle are different. I was expecting a darker finish and this one was way lighter it looked 80's frosty on me. I also had to use quiet a few coats as the color is not saturated and it took forever to dry, even with seche vite.

Age: 44-55 Skin: Dry, Medium, Warm Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine Eyes: Brown
China Glaze Awakening is a shimmery dusty rose/mauve with a heavy gold flash. The gold duochrome in this one gives it almost a metallic finish. It also blends with the plum undertones of the base color making it dusty/bordering on muddy. This color was almost a coppery rose on my pale complexion with yellow undertones. While I don't absolutely hate it, I certainly don't love it because of the dustiness and metallic finish. (If this color were just the base with no gold in it, I'd love it!) The application was very good with total opacity at only two coats. The formula was thin but not runny and went exactly where I wanted it to. Wear time was also very good at four days with no chips and Seche Vite as my top coat. All in all, this is not a bad color, just one that I will not buy again.

...LOVE...This nail polish is amazing. It's base color is a plum-ish purple. But when the sun hits it in a certain way, or you turn your nail...it has a gorgeous gold reflex type of thing going on. I got a mani/pedi with this and it looks stunning on my toes! I prefer darker nail polishes, and this one is the perfect happy medium for me between bright and dark. With a top-coat, it wont chip, unless you're a nail-biter like me!

I'm glad I found this in a bin of reduced priced nail polishes. It's a purple-y gold jumble of colours. This duochrome effect is so beautiful, and definitely the opposite of boring. I like the mix of colours. I think if I were to choose a name for it, I'd call it "Golden Plum." The way it looks when the sun hits it is wonderful. It's like a unique sunset. A coat or two is sufficient. I wore it for a week straight on my toes and had absolutely 0 chippage. China Glaze is superb. : )

Remember our Car Studio Photography Set-Ups entry? That gave you a pretty good look at the insane amount of equipment required to shoot automobiles. But of course it didn't cover every possible situation; most of the earlier set-ups we saw were all about diffusing the overhead light, like this:
Australia-based Easton Chang, on the other hand, used unfiltered tungsten lighting while capturing a Holden VF Commodore, resulting in one of the "hotter" shoots of his career:
"All the lights were (boiling!) hot tungsten lights," Chang writes. "There were a total of 84 lights, including the ones lighting the front of the car which you can't see in the shot.
"The results? Absolutely boiling hot conditions, the paint (which was one off and uber expensive) started to bubble and the metal on my tripod was too hot to touch with your bare hands."
Chang, by the way, may just have one of the coolest jobs in the world: He travels the globe photographing exotic cars, capturing shots like these:
The varied nature of Chang's shoots mean that while some productions are calm, in-studio affairs....
...others require a little physical exertion:
What most surprised us, though, is the insane lengths Chang will go to in order to get the shot he wants. For example, to achieve a shot like this...
...Chang is pulling one of these moves (though presumably with a camera in his hand):
Obviously we don't recommend you try this, but the man has worked up an expertise in hanging off of cars.
Looks dangerous, no? The shot below is of Chang after he was discharged from the hospital, where he was laid up for three days last year. Not from falling off a flying Bugatti; he got food poisoning.

If you haven't read our recent interview with Métis author David Bouchard yet, then head on over there right away! In the interview we talked only a little bit about his recent book Seven Sacred Teachings of White Buffalo Calf Woman (More Than Words, 2009), which he co-wrote with Dr Joseph Martin, is stunningly illustrated by Kristy Cameron, and has an accompanying DVD with music by Swampfox, and for which Swampfox created seven flutes out of seven different woods, each in a different key.
David considers Seven Sacred Teachings to be one of his most important works to date. The seven teachings (Humility, Honesty, Respect, Courage, Wisdom, Truth, and Love) are universal to First Nations peoples, and are the strongest link between First Nation, Inuit and Métis communities. Read on to find out more, for in this post David explains in more depth the background to this fascinating and ambitious project, which brought together six languages: English, French, Ojibwe, South Slavey, Bush Cree and Chipewyan.
The Aboriginal people in Canada have had to deal with many negative experiences over the past century and more: but one of the golden, shiny spots from coast to coast in our country is the spirituality that remains intact. If you go into any one of our schools, any school from coast to coast in Canada with Aboriginal kids, you'll see posters or writings on the walls that refer to these teachings. Different people call them different things. Among the Ojibwe people they're called the Grandfather Teachings, amongst the Lakota and Dakota people (who used to be called the Sioux), they're called the teachings of White Buffalo Calf Woman. Among the Dene of the north and their cousins the Navaho in America, they call them the Dene Laws.
But the teachings are very, very constant and I thought it would be wonderful to take those teachings and express them through art and in different languages in a top-quality book. So I started working on the project a few years ago. At around the same time, I came across a young artist, Kristy Cameron, a Métis of Ojibwe descent. I just loved her art, and I talked to her about doing the book with me.
In our culture, there are seven sacred directions – the four of the medicine wheel (East, South, West and North), and then Up, Down and Within our Hearts. Each direction has a teaching associated with it, a colour that we associate with that teaching, and a trait that we associate with the colour; each direction has an animal or a bird that we think of as being representative of that teaching. So I put all of that together and then I said, "Well, if we're going to do this, we can't do it on a cd as a cd's too small, so we'll have to do it on dvd. So the dvd has me reading the whole book in English and then in French; then it's read in Ojibwe, Chipewyan, Swampy Cree and in Slavey. Those were the people I was

Double, Double, Toil and Trouble: Branagh's Macbeth is a Wonderfully Tempestuous Production
Posted: November 18, 2013 Filed under: Arts, Books, Books & Movies, College Students, Education, Shakespeare | Tags: kenneth branagh, macbeth, national theater live, seattle international film festival, Shakespeare Comments OffFor a brief week, the Seattle International Film Festival was able to bring Manchester International Festival's production of Macbeth to the Uptown Theater in Seattle. As a part of a series called National Theater Live (which includes Othello with Adrian Lester and Frankenstein with Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller), this production stars the illustrious Kenneth Branagh as the titular Scottish King. I was lucky enough to get tickets to see this thunderous play.
Co-directed by Branagh and Rob Ashford, the production was spectral, but appropriately stark. A lot of the eerie desolation came from the fact that it takes place in a deconsecrated Manchester church. The floors of the church were ripped out, so the stage was a pit of austere earth across which the witches skulked and the Scottish thanes clashed bloodily. Rain was poured unsparingly onto the actors. The dim lighting was the perfect harshness for this sinister play.

Look at that I cactually took the time to give myself an Avatar.
Look at that I cactually took the time to give myself an Avatar.
I've done it all, from 5+ hours to across the street. In Norcal I could use my binoculars to check the local point break from our front porch. In upstate NY I had an overnight drive through 3 states. Let me tell ya, that required some serious commitment! Once I got there, the water was always freezing cold, which made things even more interesting. At the moment I live in Annapolis, 2+ hours from the ocean. I have a sick job and don't regret it at all, but I think one's early/mid 20's are definitely best spent within earshot of breaking waves. I'm hoping to score a job in the Pac NW sometime in the next year or so and return to a more ideal setup.
About 5 minutes but I can hear the surf when it's up and can see the beach from my yard across the bay.
Used to be 150 feet. Now 5 miles due west.
3 hours. Been making the drive at least once a month for 8 years. Wish I could live closer but the wife's career is based in DC and she can't take her skills elsewhere. I often go more than once a month. Off season is much easier in terms of traffic etc.
1hr 20 min hrs to Central Jerz places.
3 hrs to my local Del places and beach house.
1 mile from the beach at MONMOUTH UNIVERSITY which is soooo good.
Been doing alot of daytrip hitups missions to NJ on winter break and during the end of high school. If you pick the good days and go all out for 10 hrs straight thats pretty satisfying and worth the drive. Delaware isnt what it was even 3 yrs ago. Nj is pretty much better on most situations. OCmd is fun too on a north swell so I got that in reach too from beach house. Del used to have so many spots but it blows now and everyone bunched at a few places. Still a few spots that noone looks at that I get empty in NJ and DE.
hey vtsurfer, my girlfriend is from vergennes/addison. You grow up there? Props for making that drive. Thats insane!
60 minutes from driveway to paddle out. Give or take, the 6/5/4 takes a little longer to get into these days.
about 15 minutes... For many years it was it was 1.5 hours, and the stoke was the same to go for session, but you definitely miss out on a lot of fun days.
20 minutes from VB, or an hour and a half from nags head which is the better choice 90% of the time
