Union County Launches Support 4 Soldiers with Local High Schoolers
Union County's popular student engagement program, UC STEP, kicked off its first service-based initiative, Support 4 Soldiers, last week at the Westfield Armory on Rahway Avenue in Westfield.
"The board is so excited to see the dedication of our students to a project and a cause that not only binds them as a community, but also gives back to the heroes and she-roes who sacrifice themselves to protect our civil liberties," said Freeholder Linda Carter.
The kick-off event not only provided the opportunity for the participating schools to collect campaign supplies and merchandise, but also the chance to interact with military personnel to learn how soldiers across the country benefit from care packages like those that the Support 4 Soldiers campaign will create. More than 20 schools across the county will be participating in the program by setting up collection boxes in the respective schools.
Lieutenant Colonel Bill Morris, executive officer and Brigade Full Time Officer in Charge, thanked the students at the kick-off, and commented on how efforts like S4S go far in boosting moral; reminding everyone that despite the uniform, soldiers are just regular people.
"When this uniform comes off they [soldiers] are regular members of the community just like you," he said.
Support 4 Soldiers was the winning campaign from the first UC STEP Summit which was held on Dec. 13, 2013. Winning with more than 1,800 votes, the large-scale community service project features a partnership with the Board of Chosen Freeholders to collect items to be used in care packages for active military troops at home, and abroad. Also partnering in this endeavor is Bonds of Courage, a nonprofit organization supporting troops, veterans and their families to build morale, and to meet needs involving jobs, health, families, and finances.
The campaign also features a point-based competition for the most successful S4S campaign, in which the winning school will receive a $1,000 Start Now grant, provided by the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders.
Union County Announces Winner of UC STEP Civic Engagement Challenge
The winner of the UC STEP Civic Engagement challenge was recently announced by Union County Freeholder Chairman Christopher Hudak at Union County's 157th reorganization meeting. Group Lavender won the challenge with over 1800 votes from students, teachers, parents and community members with their "Support 4 Soldiers" campaign.
"Over 4600 votes came in county-wide for the various projects," Hudak said, "The Freeholder Board is proud, not only that our local student came up with such thoughtful and inspiring ideas, but more that the members of our community came together to show them such great support."
The headline event of Union County's very first UC STEP program, the Civic Engagement Challenge brought students together to brainstorm and create a county-wide community service campaign which will be enacted through the Freeholder Board in connection with Union County students.
"Support 4 Soldiers" will include a coordinated drive to collect items to be used in care packages for active military troops. Collection sites will be located in local schools, movie theaters, and libraries.
UC STEP, promotes positive youth development through focusing on topics like leadership, personal growth, and more importantly, civic engagement.
This year's event, hosted by Kean University, brought together 192 high school sophomores and juniors from 26 high schools across the County, and featured discussion sessions, including "You Be the Judge," which focused on crafting an effective elevator speech, and "How to be an Effective Leader," which focused on identifying the diversity, concerns, and values of individuals.
Union County Urges Students to STEP UP and STAND OUT at 1st Ever UC STEP Program
As Anna O'Brian stepped off of the bus onto the grounds of Kean University, the teenager was not too enthused with the prospect of spending her day there.
But after spending her day bonding and working together with students from the far reaches of Union County she raved about her enriching experience at the UC STEP Program.
"When I thought about the day I was missing at my school, I wasn't really looking forward to it," said the Westfield High School student. "But the activities have been amazing. I've done things I've never done before."
Anna, along with 192 other Union County high school sophomores and juniors, was selected by her school to participate in UC STEP- a unique program promoting positive youth development through focusing on topics like leadership, personal growth, and more importantly, civic engagement.
"Civic engagement through service and community activities not only inspires youth to become active participants in society, it also fosters empathy and makes students more aware of the issues that plague their greater community," said Freeholder Chairman Linda Carter.
"I can't think of a better program to close out my Chairmanship. As an educator, this is something I'm extremely passionate about," she said.
Hosted by Kean University, the half-day program featured discussion sessions, including "You Be the Judge," which focused on crafting an effective elevator speech, and "How to be an Effective Leader," which focused on identifying the diversity, concerns, and values of individuals.
The most popular session was "Civic Engagement," which brought all of the UC STEP participants together to create, plan, and propose social action projects- the best of which would be chosen by popular vote and executed by Union County's Board of Chosen Freeholders with the students.
As part of the competition, the students divided into 10 groups containing students from different schools. Using a set of facts about Union County, and minimal guidelines, each group was instructed to envision a project that would be realistic and replicable in other schools, recognizing the diversity of the County's demographics.
The result was something amazing, according to Amy Wagner, Bureau Chief of Union County's Bureau of Government Relations and Community Outreach, who served as planning team leader for the program.
"The students in each group, despite not knowing each other, really embraced the idea of the civic engagement project. It was wonderful to see them working collaboratively and talking about themes like giving, homelessness and mentorship," Wagner said.
Benjamin Freedman, a student at the Academy for Information Technology talked about his group's service project- Bringing Holiday Spirit to the Elderly
"The people that have given us hope, deserve some hope back," he said.
After the presentation portion of the session, the students voted on their favorite projects. The top four projects were:
- 4 Seasons of Service: a project that involves different community service projects based on the seasons of the year.
- Bands for Benefit: a project that involves organizing a large scale concert whose proceeds would benefit Union County's Homeless.
- Lending a Hand: which involves Union County high school students serving as tutors and mentors for children in county shelters.
- Support 4 Soldiers: a project that would support a coordinated drive to collect items to be used in care packages for active military troops.
The projects are now open to a larger, community-wide vote to determine the contender which will be announced at Union County's Reorganizational Meeting on January 5th.

Broken Projector: The Man Who Paints The Future
Broken Projector By Scott Beggs on August 9, 2013 | Be the First To CommentThe fantastically talented TyRuben Ellingson has been painting the future for years. Getting his start as a VFX art director on Jurassic Park, he's gone on to envision vehicles, worlds and weaponry for James Cameron, Guillermo del Toro and more. This summer his work can be seen stomping in Pacific Rim and flying through Neill Blomkamp's Elysium, and we were lucky enough to speak with him about his ever-expanding sci-fi universe. Plus, Geoff defends screenwriter Damon Lindelof for saying he's tired of destruction porn with a straight face, and we challenge ourselves to sum up the week's movie news in only three words. You should check out Ellingson's website, and follow the show (@brokenprojector), Geoff (@drgmlatulippe) and Scott (@scottmbeggs) on Twitter for more fun stuff on a daily basis.

TyRuben Ellingson Uses Google to Rain Conceptual Movie Death Down From Above
Movie News By J.L. Sosa on March 4, 2011 | Be the First To CommentFor a company with the motto "Don't be evil," it's a bit ironic that Google is enabling TyRuben Ellingson to create weapons of mass destruction. Ellingson — the lead vehicle designer for James Cameron's Avatar, whose credits also range from Battle: Los Angeles to Hellboy and Blade: Trinity — was singing the praises of Google Sketchup Tuesday night. While speaking at his undergraduate alma mater — St. Cloud State University — he praised Google's free 3-D modeling software as an easy-to-use tool for creating conceptual designs, including the deadly powersuits used by humans to rain devastation upon the unfortunate Na'vi. Aside from ease-of-use, Ellingson noted the program is free which means that even you can start drawing things meant to kill other things in wonderful, violent ways. So, as countless people are out there using SketchUp to create detailed virtual cities, you've got Hollywood artists using it to create equally detailed city-vaporizing toys. Is anyone else fighting back the urge to burst into "The Circle of Life" right now?

New York Times says Apple is developing a curved glass smart watch
In today's Bits column, New York Times writer Nick Bilton says Apple is developing a curved screen watch. Apple has declined to comment on any of this, as usual, but an Apple-branded smart watch been long rumored.
There has been a good deal of interest in a smartphone-connected watch. There was lots of excitement around Kickstarter-backed Pebble watch, and I personally tried the iPhone-connected Citizen watch with decidedly mixed and mostly negative results.
There's no denying how nice it would be to get mail and messages without having to dig my iPhone out of a pocket, and integration with Siri and other services would be a winner.
To add a little juice to the rumor, Corning Glass, which makes the Gorilla Glass used in the iPhone, is about ready to launch bendable glass called "Willow Glass" which might be just the ticket for Apple to introduce on a smart watch.
Former Apple UI designer Bruce Tognazzini recently wrote a lengthy treatise about an Apple iWatch, discussing not only the drawbacks and features of existing smart watches, but what the "killer apps" for a wrist-based Apple device might be.
The watch industry has been in the doldrums for many years, with a lot of younger users simply not buying watches and getting the time of day from their cellphones.
If anyone has a chance at helping the watch make a comeback, Apple is a good candidate. Like all rumors, take this with a few grains of salt, but it makes sense for Apple to pursue this.

Falling Creek Park
Primary tabs
Course Details
Course Reviews
My 11 year old son and I played this course for the first time this weekend and while it was a very hot day (95 degrees when we finished at noon) I was really impressed. In addition, the park looks recently renovated and was a terrific setting for a disc golf course. Not living in Bedford however, I would not have known this course was here if not for finding it online.
First impressions...
Some VERY long holes - bring a good distance driver - you'll need it.
Since its a very long course, be prepared for a bit of walking. If its a hot day, bring your own water.
The course is mostly flat with gentle, rolling hills and good visibility to the holes.
Cedars are your enemy. They eat discs like candy. Fortunately there are lots of rocks around.
You may want to bring a map, the progression between holes is not always clear.
It's a long course and since I couldn't find my favorite distance driver that morning I walked away with a +8 - and I was PROUD of it. But I definitely look forward to playing it again - most likely in the fall when its not 95 degrees outside.
Kudos to Bedford for hiding away this little gem.

Vodafone Group Plc (VOD) and other telecommunication companies "will benefit" from draft European Union rules intended to reduce roaming fees, said Neelie Kroes, the vice president of the European Commission for digital agenda.
Vodafone Chief Executive Officer Vittorio Colao called yesterday for a stop to an "autopilot regulation mentality" that continually puts new regulations on industry and damages resources. EU regulators last year proposed prices caps for Internet-data charges outside a user's home country from July 1. The rules need the backing of EU governments and lawmakers before they become final.
"If consumers lose their fear of using their smartphones and tablets when traveling across Europe, operators will benefit as well," Kroes said in an e-mailed statement. "Message to Vittorio and Vodafone: I call your bluff, and indeed do not respond well to threats. I take the side of the Vodafone customer."

in trying to come up with the color i want for new kitchen cabinet doors, i'm wondering if i can mix gel wood stains to get a shade i like. also, is it possible to layer stains...i.e., apply a thin coat of one color as a base and then a second coat in another color? i will be staining red oak, fresh doors, and i am ready for some serious experimentation.
also, i will need to do a small amount of refinishing on great condition existing cab boxes. frames are solid oak and boxes are high quality wood veneer that i can sand to bare (i've tried this already on one area). but i'm wondering if i can just rough sand them if color experimenting shows i can match or nearly match the door color. i hope you know what i mean. |
Follow-Up Postings:
There should be no problem mixing gel stains. But to be safest, use the same type of stain from the same manufacturer. I regularly layer stains and glazes to get the color match I want. If you want to rough up the finish then apply a gel stain, what you are doing is glazing. You will need to recoat the stain with a compatible clear finish to lock it down. |
Here is a link that might be useful: coloring wood
kmealy, thank you for your response and for the very helpful link. so THAT'S what glazing is! with the clear finish, do you think it will be durable enough for kitchen cabinets? thanks again.. |
Be sure to experiment on scrap pieces before you hit the cabinets. I've used gel stains and my experience is that they look best with just one coat, but with each successive application the wood looks more "painted". |
- Posted by sombreuil_mongrel (My Page) on Wed, May 2, 07 at 21:01
I wouldn't "rough up" the pre-finished surface before adding gel stain. If you sand through to the wood that area will "take" darker, and the uneven look may not be what you're after. You could instead use a liquid deglosser. I used gel stain on my unfinished cabinets. I was very easily able to get a glazed effect with two coats. I used Bartley's brand. My case was a bit different because I applied pore filler over the new oak, so that acted as a sealer to prevent the stain from soaking in. On bare wood, if you work fast, you may be able to get it in one coat. Bartley's gel stains dry very fast, you do not get a lot of working time, doubly true on bare wood. The Bartleys gel varnish is also a good product. Casey |
The idea of running some test panels is a good one. It's sort of a cardinal rule. Be careful with your top coat over existing finish. In the last 10-15 years, cabinet mfr have been using a lot of 2-part conversion finishes on cabinets. These are generally very tough, but not agreeable to repair or top-coating with anything. It can range from splotching to not adhering well. Oil-based gel stains will have a longer open time if you add a little mineral spirits (1 teaspoon per pint). For good information on glazes, see either Bob Flexner's "Understanding Wood Finishing" (2d ed.) or Jeff Jewitt's "Complete Illustrated Guide to Wood Finishing." Both have good information and lots of photos. Sometimes the glaze is left to "hang up" in the moldings, corners, and details. Other times, it's applied to add depth and adjust overall color. |
thanks all, for the additional advice. i will experiment like crazy before deciding on how to procede. |

Whoa, did AJ McCarron learn that a year ago. His facial expression when asked about it said that much. Still, he made it out the other side with a national championship ring after things slowed down.

actions are taken. Surveillance that provides information about where and how youngsters are injured or made ill while working is essential for both targeting and evaluating prevention efforts. Over the past decade, government agencies have substantially improved the surveillance of illnesses and injuries sustained by adult workers; more recent surveillance initiatives have begun to provide information regarding young workers, at least with respect to their work-related injuries. However, these activities are limited and poorly coordinated. The lack of specific attention to the need for data regarding issues related to the protection of young workers as a special population has often meant that even data on relevant age groups are not available to the public.
Recommendation: The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, in collaboration with the Bureau of Labor Statistics and other relevant federal and state agencies, should develop and implement a comprehensive plan for monitoring work-related injuries and illnesses sustained by workers under the age of 18 and for monitoring hazards to which these young workers are exposed. Additional resources should be allocated to the appropriate agencies to implement plan components not currently funded.
The health and safety hazards that children and adolescents face in the workplace and the protections to which they are entitled under the law are little known or understood by children and adolescents themselves, by their parents, and by other adults who are in a position to give them guidance. Although a number of efforts are currently under way around the country to provide information and training related to making workplaces safe and healthy environments for young people, they are scattered and uncoordinated. The committee proposes several plans to begin to remedy the lack of knowledge and to promote understanding of the conditions necessary for safe and meaningful work experiences for children and adolescents.

Hi, I completely new and completely lost. I have an order for next saturday and will be away from next monday-thursday. Therefore must set everything for when I come back.
The client wants a 12"x18"x3" west indian fruit cake (black cake) covered in marzipan and fondant (I'm guessing I would need 7-8 lbs ea). It will be decorating it in flowers made of fondant (below) in one corner and a written message in the center. Then light fruit cake, cake pop individually wrapped.
I'll be baking the cakes in a few hours and wondering:
- Would I fill this cake or just fill my pan which happens to be 12"x18"x3" to the top? If I fill it what kind of filling would I use?
- Should I bake it low and slow or at the normal 350 until its done?
- How much should I charge for the black cake?
- What kind of icing would I mix a light fruit cake with for cake pops?
- How much should I charge a pop.

You Won't Recognize Any of the Lyrics in the New 'Annie' Trailer
We get to hear two songs from the movie in the trailer: "A Hard Knock Life" and "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile." If you're looking to hear Quvenzhané's "Tomorrow" you're going to have to go back to the first trailer. In "Smile" the un-PC opening line "Hey, hobo man / Hey, Dapper Dan" has been changed to "Hey, America / Let's turn it up." In "Hard Knock Life," "when you're in an orphanage" has been changed to "when you're a foster kid" to reflect Annie's more modern living situation. And then there are songs that are going to have to be cut altogether. It's hard to imagine anyone singing "We'd Like to Thank You, Herbert Hoover" in this version.
This trailer also highlights Rose Byrne's character much more heavily, as she rides high off the success of Neighbors. It has also minimized Cameron Diaz's Miss Hannigan, the most criticized part of the first trailer. That character is still looking questionable though.
Annie will be out in time for Christmas.

Agree with Boone, the most lopsided 1-0 game I can recall ever seeing. Everyone seems to be writing off the Rangers. I'm not so sure. There's something good going on with them. They've had a horrific playoff schedule but despite having played 3 more games than the Habs, looked like the fresher and much quicker team throughout. Habs, for whatever reason, simply ran out of gas. I still believe the Habs are a better team, but they couldn't overcome the fatigue factor which ultimately did them in. Losing Price is NOT a valid excuse or justification for falling short. Toker deserved a better fate for his performance. - Comment on 'This isn't something that can't be done,' Habs' Gionta says of a comeback (2014-05-27 10:42:26)
For me, there's no doubt the Habs are the better team. At no point during the three regular season games with the Rangers did NY out skate the Habs like they have during this series. I believe the Habs are worn down and quite likely don't have the endurance to win three in a row. I really don't care too much about line combos or other strategic stuff at this point. If the team can't overcome the fatigue factor, it makes no difference. Also, playing without Price SHOULD NOT be an excuse for losing the series. Toker has played very well, made countless big saves and has given the team more than a fifty-fifty chance to prevail. The team in front of him hasn't performed. - Comment on Liveblog: Conference Final Game 4 – St. Louis scores in OT, pushes Canadiens to the brink (2014-05-26 00:32:52)

Seems like no one is talking about PK. Whats up with him? He looked like the weak half of a 3rd d pairing, not a Norris trophy winner. His decision making is shaky, he looks slow, and he's running around in the dzone way too much. I agreed with Boone's saying he looked like he was drunk on one shift. Seriously, his drop off in this series is staggering. He must be hurt, please, someone tell me he's hurt! - Comment on About last night … (2014-05-15 01:34:11)

Pretty easy to summarize where we're at. Good news, leave Boston even up and we've won 3 of 4 road games which is not easy in the playoffs. Bad news, as Boone correctly points out, this loss is the result of a bona fide collapse. Losing after winning game 1 isn't the end of the world, but the way we lost makes it a hard pill to swallow. Imho, makes game 3 a critical contest. Simply cannot give the Goons more momentum. We're not playing Tampa Bay.

Having disability ramps installed in your home can grant you a new sense of freedom that you may not currently have if you are in a wheelchair. Your home should be the one place where you feel the safest, but you should also feel free to come and go as you please.
If you've found your normal entryway of your home has become difficult to navigate, you should consider having disability ramps installed. Any entrance that poses a risk for falling, or areas where the sidewalk has cracked or a nearby tree has uprooted the walkway could benefit from the addition of a disability ramp.
Adding a ramp to your home can give you control over your life again, allowing you the ability to enjoy the outdoors. Getting out of your home can have great health benefits, including brightening your mood and warding off depression. A healthy dose of sunshine can rejuvenate your spirits, and the ability to move around as you please will feel liberating.
Maybe you've delayed installation due to a concern about the ramp's effect on your home's value. If you have to sell the home again in the future, disability ramps can be used as a unique selling point, and may even translate to a faster sale. Essentially, you're making the home safer for yourself. Some companies offer low risk installation, in which the ramps can easily be removed later if needed. There is little, if any, structural changes to the home during this type of installation.
With ramps installed at your entryways you no longer will have to rely on anyone else to help you in and out of your home. You can do daily tasks like getting the mail and retrieving the newspaper all on your own, because you won't have to travel up or down stairs.
For those who are wheelchair bound, freedom of mobility can be a lifesaver. With the addition of a ramp at even the main entryway to your home, you can't take yourself out easily and simply. Ramps make life easier for a disabled person, and can really open doors to a new lifestyle.
Even those who aren't wheelchair bound can benefit from disability ramps. Anyone who has trouble walking, has had knee surgery, or has difficulty with steps can find the functionality of a ramp to be largely valuable. Many disability ramps come with rails for added safety and are perfectly inclined to meet safety regulations.
Before having a ramp installed at your home, make sure you are aware of any local codes or standards that need to be followed. If you've been considering making the transition from steps to ramps, don't wait any longer. Grant yourself the freedom to get up and out of your house, enjoy the fresh air and have your independence restored. A disability ramp is the lifesaver you've been waiting for, and can be a very valuable addition to the home of anyone who is disabled.

About This Project
Reclaimed pallet wood
From Plan:
Required Skill Level:
Starter Project
Estimated Time Investment:
An Hour or Two (0-2 Hours)
Finish Used:
I made my own version of milk paint and stain and stenciled a bird I drew, then heavy sanding to create the, "old look". I have tons of pallets, my neighbors are always dropping them off at my house, my RV pad is a WRECK from all sorts of old wood, and pallets. I love it, but I am looking like a hoarder, I.AM.NOT!
I also made this table out of an old shutter my neighbor dropped off for me, I took it apart, and that was the hardest part, other than the sanding... so much sanding! I finally got out the belt sander, which I really try not to use. The table is not quite finished, it's still wet in the pics, and not attached, I am painting the bottom white, and adding one more coat of stain on the table top. My number one rule, sand, sand, sand!

Thanks! I didn't use plans
Thanks! I didn't use plans for the table, I built around the shutter pieces, and then just built as I went. I added
trim around the side apron to for texture, and under the bottom shelf is a brace. I can't figure out sketchup, so I just look at pictures, and try to figure it out.

Do you think a perfect hybrid (meaning a being who is one with both shinigami and hollow form without any internal nor external conflict of control or intentions) would open up a 3rd territory to explore?
What im saying is you have the hollow territory and the shinigami territory. Arrancar and Vaizards are what break into them.
But would a perfect hybrid open up a 3rd territory? (i dont know what it would be called, it prolly would be a new race). But essentially what i mean is that do you think it would reveal a 3rd and/or possibly 4th release?
I simply want the thoughts, opinions, and possibilities that lie in your heads.

About Leon Jimenez
I am primarily a pencil artist. Due to it's limitations I have branched out to painting, photography and digitally native art. My subjects tend to come from Pop culture since that is what inspires me. I have been creating art professionally since 1987 and founded laartwork.com in 2003. I have been featured in the book Marilyn in Art. I have had solo shows in Hollywood and have sold prints to over 40 countries around the world. Seeing copies of my art all around the web (including this site) and in galleries provokes mixed emotions. I am flattered that my work inspires other artists, but would like the credit for being their first. It has pushed me to be even better and show a wider range of abilities. I would like to thank Fine Art America for providing a place for anyone to offer their work to the public and a big THANK YOU to those who support artists everywhere and their rights to express themselves freely on any subject.

I work in IT. Enough said I think – food is so much more interesting.
I learnt to cook working in pub kitchens when I was a teenager; we made pretty much everything from scratch. I still tend to cook in the same quantities and freeze down - our freezers are full of re-filled take away tubs. I love making stews, curries, pizza, pasta, experimenting with burger/meatball mixes and seeing what else I can feed into the bread-maker.
When not at work, bumbling in the kitchen or spending quality time with the family, I like to cycle. I've completed London to Paris 3 times for Action Medical Research, all of which were fantastic. On one of these trips I towed the Charity's mascot, Paddington, the 300 miles to Paris. I also used to organise 100 mile sponsored rides for them.

But this isn't meant as another anniversary obituary to a great musician, the internet is flooded with those already and still they don't do justice to any light that has burned out. The mystery surrounding the lives of musicians such as Kurt's is matched by an equally inscrutable question; why are musicians so much more likely to travel such a difficult road when they seemingly have it so good? Of course it's a question that's asked following almost every celebrity's untimely passing, but rarely has it been answered adequately. Why do so many musicians choose to end up battling addiction, depression and anxiety?
The fact is no one answer will sum up the situation for every musician. People argue that it is exactly because they have it so well that they become depressed or start taking drugs. Famous musicians, actors and writers all battle personal demons because they have achieved the dream that so many aspire to, but still don't feel satisfied. This in turn leads to feelings of guilt because they have been provided with all the things in life we assume we want. Adoration, near unlimited funds, recognition that they are indeed unique to the world; all these things seem like the answer to happiness. Many musicians, including Kurt Cobain, argued that when these things failed to make them happy, it brought on depression, due partly to finally discovering your dream was not the answer you had been looking for. Part of it, they argue, is feeling guilty at having been supplied with all the finest commodities in life and still not finding happiness. They feel responsible for not taking joy in something so many people work all their lives for. In his suicide note, Kurt asks himself "Why don't you just enjoy it?" and admitted feeling ashamed that he doesn't find joy in performing or writing music anymore. When part of your persona belongs to the public, the pressure of expectation can weigh heavy.
Another reason is that these artists were always destined for a life of alcohol abuse, drug addiction and an untimely death. That's because of who they were as a person, and it is this same reason that led to them finding fame in the first place. Their environment growing up pushed them to reject both the concept of normality and the hope of a better future. These people are usually more impulsive, less inclined to consider consequences and often less interested in self-preservation. Combined with the ready access to drugs, alcohol and the offer of a more hedonistic lifestyle, it's little wonder celebrities go off the tracks. Besides, who can resist the idea of a pulling up from a downward spiral and becoming a better person as a result? History is littered with people that have risen from the ashes of an addiction and now see things 'in a new light'. The fact is, drug and alcohol addiction is glamorised in the media. We look at artist like Kurt, Ian Curtis, Jimi Hendrix, Amy Winehouse and see a whirlwind of self-loathing, indulgence and controversy and we think "Oh to have a life as interesting as that". What we don't consider is the reality, running out of money to fund your addiction, the pain inflicted on loved ones and the well of narcissism that can swallow a person whole for years.
There are those that have pulled themselves back from the brink, of course. The most memorable of these artists will always be the ones that died too young. Johhny Cash, Ozzy Osbourne and Eric Clapton, to name just a few, have all battled with serious addiction problems only to survive and go on making music. These are the people that managed to conquer their demons and find something else in life, but it's unsurprising that so many others never find their way back.
[This guy did drugs? No, surely not]
So since Kurt Cobain's death over two decades ago, have musicians learned anything? The short answer would seem to be 'no'. Musicians still die young and albums filled with tales of addiction and redemption are still selling by the tonne (well they would if everything wasn't digitalised now). The truth of the matter is it seems to be many musicians' curse that they must endure a time when they battle with some kind of psychodrama in their lives. The drink and drugs often play an integral role in creating some of the world's greatest musicians, leading to the question of whether taking addiction out of the equation would actually be detrimental to music. All of this is moot anyway, because the world is going to stay largely the same. Musicians are still going to die before their time and music is still going to be inspired by the darkest recesses of our lives. The drug dealers win, the public wins, in truth, the only ones that really lose are the musicians that don't make it back from the edge.

The Hyphen and the Ellipse
The Hyphen and the Ellipse
Bill Gates, Bill Clinton and Bono have it.
So does the suburban mom of a dyslectic child juggling the demands of her corporate job and family, as does the finance company executive who found his heart broken by the plight of children caught in the web of sex trafficking. It's the same for the factory manager who spends Christmas assisting desperately poor families in Mexico. Then there is the real estate agent who helps set up micro-businesses in Columbian barrios.
They all have it…
They all have a cause greater then themselves that they are passionate about and are keenly motivated to free up their time to devote to and find the funds to finance the cause. In short they all want to find ways to leverage the "cubicle" of their corporate "life" towards the fulfillment of a "lifestyle" that centers around a worthy "cause". It has been my privilege to preside at hundreds of funerals, in thirty years of ministry. On these occasions there are three bits of data which is invariably shared about the deceased. There is the d.o.b. (date of birth ) and the d.o.d. (date of death) which obviously bracket the lifespan of the person. Between the "d.o.b." and the "d.o.d." is the symbol which indicates the accomplishments and relationships representative of the life of the person. It is the hyphen (-). This little dash mark carries with it the weight of everything that happened to and the investments of the deceased person as witnessed to by others who remember them. The hyphen is a powerful symbol to be sure. However, I would contend that for the people I've encountered who have had the most meaningful lives another symbol is very apropos. The ellipse (…) or the dot dot dot, points to more than a life well lived, it speaks to a life of purpose which carries on in their legacy long after the d.o.b.- d.o. d. case is made. "Ellipse people" are always people of passion for a cause greater than themselves who have taken action to enhance the greater good through the cause which stirs their heart. It is ellipse people who create things like:
•The Clinton Global Initiative to battle AIDS.
•The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to take on the cause of illiteracy.
•Bono's ONE foundation dedicated to achieving equitable economic opportunities in third world countries.
•The corporate lawyer dedicated to creating a homeless shelter in a community where none exists.
•This is the bullet point where you enter your name and your passion if you have "ellipse person" DNA. If you would be so bold as to make the move from a cubicle to a cause then you have found a home at businesstochangetheworld.com.
Business To Change The World is devoted to connecting the dot dot dots between the causes that stir people and the ways and means for them to be achieved and make a comfortable living at the same time. Business To Change The World will connect the dot dot dots in the following ways: •Provide great content through articles videos and other media from people who have successfully made the move from cubicle to cause.
•provide a network where people looking for a cause and those with means to support causes can connect.
•provide resources where people can learn how to make a full-time income on a part-time basis in order to leverage time and money to the cause.
•provide regular podcast Interviews with people who have found a way to be successful in business as a means to support a worthy cause.
•provide a regular newsletter where the latest and mist effective strategies for moving from cubicle to cause are shared.
•develop a community of like-minded "ellipse people"
Are you ready to begin connecting the dot dot dots of your cubicle to cause story? If you're still with me then I know you are. Lets get started by signing up for our newsletter or emailing us directly.
For Causes that Matter,
Robert B. Miller

The amount of greenhouse gas produced by the livestock industry is staggering – the Worldwatch Institute estimates that meat and dairy production accounts for 51% of the world's total emissions once you factor in livestock respiration, land use, methane production, and a whole range of other figures. Faced with this statistic, it's pretty easy to see how cutting meat out of your diet can reduce your carbon footprint. It's also important to consider the distance that food travels to your plate, so consider buying locally produced, minimally packaged produce at farmers markets – you can even check to see if any nearby farms offer a weekly CSA (community supported agriculture) box.

Simple though it may sound, planting a tree is one of the cheapest and most effective means of removing CO2 from the atmosphere. A single tree is capable of absorbing 48 pounds of CO2 each year while producing enough fresh oxygen for 2 people. Trees also remove airborne pollutants like sulfur dioxide from burning coal, nitrogen oxides from auto emissions, and other particulates, making them a great boon in urban environments. Finally, planting a tree near your house can actually improve your home's energy efficiency – trees provide shade during hot summer days, and during the winter they lose their leaves, allowing sunlight and warmth to stream in through your windows.

Nudism & Health
Wake Up Call
Well I hope this is the right venue to write this. It is really a story that has yet to materialize but hopefully will be realized.
I will go to a good friend's funeral tomorrow, dead from a massive heart attack on Friday.
Two hours from life to death at 50.
The point of this is reflection. I became a nudist four years aqo, and joined AANR a little over a year ago. I have enjoyed the direction toward improving nudists' health being taken. The stories and articles are motivating and I have given thought to changes, even more so now.
I will turn 55 in a couple of days, and it is time to let go of some bad habits and instill healthy ones. Before AANR, I would never have considered nude yoga let alone a nude 5K, both of which I am looking forward to pursuing. So this is my nude health story in the works!
Please keep the motivation and healthy living tips coming!
It Was Always "Natural"
My experience with being nude started really at birth and ever since. My Parents weren´t nudists but, living in Holland, it is the norm. Then we came to Canada. At the tender age of 6, I remember Mom just letting us go nude at the lake all the time. I always thought the other kids were strange wearing bathing suits.
Why? As time went on my brother and I would always be nude at the house, even when there were guests of Mom and Dad's around. Of course they came from the old country. As I got older I always went hiking nude. Sure, we ran across people out in the woods, but they stared and we continued on.
As a adult now I go to the resorts that have non-clothing options. I guess I feel the opposite from those who feel great when they take off their clothes. I feel normal when I feel the warmth of the sun, or the feel of sand or leaves on my skin. I love it when
the waves of the ocean hit you and you feel every thing. The best part is when you are nude with others; there is true fellowship with them. You see all of them as they are with nothing to hide.
I think the whole world should be nude. After all isn't that how it started in the beginning?

Bare Buns
In 1986, I was on a business trip to California and I had heard Black's Beach was in the area so I decided to find it and check it out. It is north of San Diego not too far off I5. The beach is at the bottom of a tall cliff that runs a fair piece of the coast in that area and you got to the beach by going down a somewhat torturous hand-hewn path in the cliff. The beach itself is rather narrow but stretches for some distance on either side of the entrance to the path.
It was a weekday so there weren't a lot of people, some couples but mostly men; still, they were all naked. I doffed my clothes and except for my fair hide looked almost like a native. It was refreshing as I walked along the water's edge which was surprisingly cold. In fact, there weren't many people in the water and those that were didn't stay in long. The few people around didn't pay me any mind, this was reassuring and I soon got over my initial shyness.
I stayed about an hour on the beach and found out that the California sun is very unforgiving to redheads, I got a nasty sunburn, especially in places that hadn't seen much sun before.
In 1975 I bought a sailboat and quickly found that sailing offers many opportunities to to go bare buns to the wind. I do it as often as I can and have been fortunate in that my lady friends like to do it also. Unfortunately, while they don't mind going nude sailing, they've been reluctant to do it in any other venue. Those who have joined me on my boat in the nude can attest that nude sailing is a very pleasant experience. Everyone should try it, it's the only way to sail.

When I First Became a Nudist
I remember well when I had my first nudist experience. I was running down the street outside my home in San Antonio, Texas. My diaper fell off at age three and the rest is history.
Since then I have enjoyed the outdoors, swimming, sports, martial arts, you name it as a nudist. That means 61 years of absolute joy and freedom.

Part of Every Good Day
Our back yard pool was the place where I first experienced nude recreation.
It was a warm summer day. I took off my suit and went skinny-dipping for the first time. I felt natural and free and alive.
Since then, every day I'm able to be naked outside is a very good day. It could be a stroll through our garden in the cool air of dawn, lying in the warm sun, being in the yard in the still of the evening with a full moon shining on me, or taking a dip in a cool mountain stream or lake on a visit to the wilderness.
Being naked is being more at one with nature, more at home as a human being, more myself.

Stylish & Functional
Bought these shoes for my nine year old. This is his second pair of this shoe. He absolutely loves them. He wears them daily. They seem to hold up fairly well considering he is constantly riding his bike, scooter, and skateboard. It's not always easy to please a nine year old when it comes to style, but these shoes and a pair of bright blue skinny jeans seem to keep him happy.

This is me at home on the piano (yes just got out of bed) playing an old Pet Shop Boys b-side that I've always loved. Although it's a song about a funeral, and despite being set in the context of the formal, stiff-upper lipped way British people approach death, I think it's more about how "passing on" should really be seen as something more positive...much more a part of life I suppose. In this case, a release from prejudice and a sense of hope…
