My iPhone 6 Review
I have my original bag that the Apple store gave me when I purchased my first iPhone 3G at the Apple Store at West County Mall in St. Louis, MO. That special Friday in the middle of September is always a special time for us who love the rush of getting the newest iPhone.
September 2014 seemed different. It was tougher this year in making a decision. My iPhone 5s was perfectly fine. It was fast, comfortable and it did what I needed to do in business and socially. But on Friday morning September 19, 2014 I stood in line at 5:30am at a corporate AT&T store and waited in line until 8am. I purchased (Through AT&T Next) an iPhone 6 – 64GB – Gold.
I contemplated my decision the whole day. The phone sat on my desk at work and just seemed so HUGE to me. The experience was definitely different.
This weekend the new iPhone 6 has grown on me. It's slim, sexy. light, has a beautiful display and an updated camera. I haven't had a chance to really test out the camera but in previous reviews I agree that it handles light much better than its predecessor the iPhone 5s. Battery life on the iPhone 6 is slightly longer lasting.
After using the iPhone 6 for 3 days now I can say that Apple will need to have an updated iPhone 5s type size phone in the future. In real honesty the iPhone 5s or even the iPhone 5 were perfect sized phones. Some people just have smaller hands, some people simply want to use a phone with one hand. The previous Iphones allowed us to do that.
Is this the end of the Apple iPhone 4 inch screen?
When Average Starts To Creep In
I have been wanting to write this blog post for quite some time but life has been a little rough for the month of June 2014.
From finishing up a large work project, working through tooth pain and then ending up having a root canal it's been a long painful month of June. The root canal was perfectly painless. A big shout out to Dr. Charles Clarke in South County for being a cool cat and letting me watch Iron Man, listen to Above and Beyond in my ears while loud drilling sounds echoed through my ear canal. The pain before the root canal was not cool.
I feel peaceful tonight. One of the large projects I have been working on finally wrapped up. I have closure! It was a project I have been working on since March 2014. I have logged over 184 hours on this project in addition to my daily duties in the life of an IT Solution Architect.
With all the above being said, I felt average start to creep in during these past months. When I mean average I mean "not awesome." One of things I read recently from Jon Acuff was the comparison between average and awesome. Anyone can be average and go through the daily groundhog day to day routine, but to be awesome you have to go through the pain and suffering to hit a homerun at the end of the day.
"You don't need to go back in time to be awesome; you just have to start right now. Regretting that you didn't start earlier is a great distraction from moving on your dream today, and the reality is that today is earlier than tomorrow."
― Jon Acuff, Start: Punch Fear in the Face, Escape Average and Do Work That Matters
Through the past several months I wanted to just be average. Life has been hard lately. Why can't I just be an average person doing average things? Well I believe that God put me on this earth not to be average. I truly believe that God put me on this earth to be awesome. To serve people. To give. To love. To provide mercy. To provide grace in difficult circumstances.
Being average sometimes is going through the motions everyday at your job and being that person that says well I'm here to just collect a paycheck. Being awesome is working for your paycheck and going beyond what you would normally do during your 8-5 job.
Average has a tendency to creep in within various aspects of our life. Our jobs being one of them but they also could be our personal life and family.
So at the end day when you feel average creep in on you take a moment and pause and say NO to average. Be awesome instead.

What's In Our Trader Joe's Shopping Cart?
So you probably have noticed that I have been posting photos every week from Trader Joe's of things we have purchased. As consumers, especially when we are trying to lose weight or make good decisions with our food choices we have no idea where to start or what to buy. Meat – check. Vegetable – check. But what about everything else that is in the store.
Rule of thumb: Outside perimeter of the store = healthy (in most cases).
I have had several people ask me to list the items that appear in our Trader Joe's shopping cart on a weekly basis so here it is:
- Trader Joe's Dry Roasted and Salted Pistachios
- Organic Cashew, Almond & Cranberry Trek Mix
http://bit.ly/1p3XBPZ - Trader Joe's Medium Sized Cooked Frozen Shrimp

- Trader Joe's Smoked Andouille Chicken Sausage

- Trader Joe's Valencia Oranges – Organic
Total items: 34
Total bill: $115.18
It's time to retool
May 1, 2014 brings a re-tooling in my life. New hustle. New goals. New ideas. New dreams.
Retool: Adapt or alter (someone or something) to make them more useful or suitable.
The month of April 2014 brought a lot of "lessons learned" in my life. The month of April 2014 was one of the toughest months I can remember walking out in my life.
I'm encouraged that at 38 years of age I'm truly still in the editing part of my life.
Your 30s are a period of Editing. This is the decade of sorting out interests, where you discover what you really care about and who you really are.~Jon Acuff
May 1, 2014 brings a fresh new set of days.
May 1, 2014 brings a fresh new set of memories.
May 1, 2014 brings new life.
I have been part of Jon Acuff's #30DaysofHustle since January 1, 2014 and can't thank Jon enough with all the pouring out of wisdom he has been giving thousands of people. May 1, 2014 starts new challenges for hustling in my life.
For me my hustles this month are:
- Take my weight loss journey to the next level.
- I have been maintaining. Time to start losing again! I want to lose 5-10 lbs this month.
- Continuing Education
- Complete one IT Training Course in some type of discipline whether it be a Microsoft Server training or project management.
- Blog more
- Blog more on FatManOnaDiet.com
- Love Outrageously
- Everyone needs a hug! Give more of them. Reach out to more people who need an encouraging word, help, or simply just a hug (or a fist pump).
So, there is lots to do. Rise up and be part of the Awesome Revolution!
Thanks for listening. Love – Big J.

Never Look Back
It's been a while since I have written on my blog. I've been kind of busy. Work, church stuff and daily life. It's sometimes feels like Groundhog Day.
Recently, I had to make a tough decision in my life that was made simply on a matter of principle.
When something doesn't line up with your principles, then never look back. Move on. Move forward. Continue to be awesome!
Since last Thursday, I have been off the social media grid. I have to say it has really been refreshing. What's weird, though, in order for you to know how somebody is doing these days all you have to do is simply go onto their Facebook or Instagram feed and you can know everything you want to know in less than a couple of hours.
So what did I learn by unplugging for over a week? I'm definitely an extrovert and I miss the interaction of people on a daily basis.
The very short time I have been disconnected I have had time to clear my head. I'm excited for things ahead for my wife Rachel and me. We have some internal projects we are working on and hoping to launch some things online this summer.
Rachel and I are passionate about healthy eating and living. It's important to us to stand with people and support them in making changes with regards to their health. We want to be a resource for people.
It's time to start being awesome – 2014 is not over yet. There are plenty more days in the year to say "good morning" with a smile, buy someone a cup of coffee, open the door for someone, say an encouraging word, or give someone a hug.
I'm currently reading a book by Bob Goff called Love Does: Discover a Secretly Incredible Life in an Ordinary World. So far it has been changing the way I think about things. It's showing me to live life outrageously.
Thanks for listening. Love – Big J
This Year In Music 2013
Even though I have dedicated my blog to living life well in 2013 it has been an outstanding year in music and I wanted to share some of my love for music and the artists that have inspired and moved me (literally) in 2013.
I have been contemplating for over the past several weeks, so the winner of my number one favorite album of 2013 goes to Disclosure's album "Settle". Putting it simply, I am blown away by the talent of the two very young individuals that make up this band. Not only was this album well put together but the vinyl pressing and packaging was excellent. I have also seen live shows via YouTube and they bring it. My favorite song on the album is "Latch."
Runner up would be Pretty Lights "A Color Map of the Sun". Another amazing album that took some time to put together. Watch the documentary on how they put the album together here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xpcs0Caq9A0&feature=youtu.be
My Top 10 Albums of 2013:
Disclosure – "Settle"
Pretty Lights – "A Color Map of the Sun"
Paul McCartney – "New"
Washed Out – "Paracosm"
Kaskade – "Atmosphere"
Young Galaxy – "Ultramarine"
Nine Inch Nails – "Hesitation Marks"
Daft Punk – "Random Access Memories"
Tegan and Sara – "Heartthrob"
The Digital Age – "Evening:Morning"
I took some time and put a rad Spotify playlist together (62 songs) that showcases some of my favorite tracks from 2013. Enjoy! If you like an album, buy it on vinyl!
For me 2013 was a turning point in music. Both for vinyl record sales but also in creativity and artists digging down deep to put out epic product.
My favorite Vinyl record pressing in 2013 would have to be Paul McCartney's "New" album. I pre-ordered it in October 2013, the pressing was delayed for 2 months and I finally received before Christmas. The packaging was beautiful and came with a very nice photo booklet and interview of Paul McCartney when he was making this record.
So that's it. We say goodbye to 2013 and look forward to what 2014 will bring.

A Trainer. An Update. A New Year
I just recently finished a four-week stint with a personal trainer. It was quite an enlightening experience. I have been working out regularly since I was 17. I always thought I knew about everything there was to know about working out. The problem: I was bored and needed a kick in the butt.
So, 4 weeks ago I signed up for a $99.00 jumpstart program through Dynamic Fitness Management (DFM) at Club Fitness in Arnold, MO. My trainer was Mark Feinstein. My initial session was to check my weight and measurements and then my body fat. During the initial week, my body fat was 28.6 percent.
Having a personal trainer was very fabulous. Having someone coach you along and then help you stretch after each session was very motivating.
I learned the proper way to do dead lifts. Dead lifts will kick your but and help you build strength.
Now the disappointing factor. After four weeks, I had to stop. The amount of money that is required (at least by Dynamic Fitness) is nowhere near what I would call economical or feasible for someone who is on a budget. All I can say is at a minimum my buy-in was between $500-$1300 for 1-3 months of sessions. After finding out how much this cost I was quite depressed and wish, there were alternatives that Dynamic Fitness could offer me. Unfortunately, after speaking with their Arnold, MO site manager the price was the price.
The good news: I found out that DFM offers a Synergy Class (free!!) that Mark teaches during the week and the weekend. I'm hoping that these classes can help solidify my basic foundation that Mark has provided to me already.
Additional good news: Within these four weeks, my body-fat percentage went from 28.6 to 26.6 percent.
Bottom line: Definitely do the $99 jumpstart program. It gives you a new start on working out. I can't tell you how much more motivated I am now.
My compliments go out to Mark Feinstein. I highly recommend him. If you are looking for a personal trainer, then you can reach out to him at the Arnold, MO Club Fitness. Not only was he personable but was professional and has a sincere heart to help people. He was also very knowledgeable of the exercises we performed and went above and beyond my expectations each week. Thank you Mark!
Health Update: There is always the skeptics out there that say that you should have whole grains and eat less fat. That is completely false in my book. With the obesity rate over 30 perfect in the United States things have to start changing. My recent blood tests are proof that you can eat all the fatty foods you want. I eat no grains and consume less than 150 carbs per day. Did I mention no grains? No bread, no cereal. No Red Lobster cheddar biscuits!
My previous and recent cholesterol and triglycerides reading:
March 6, 2010: 175 / 129
December 20, 2013: 123 / 43
2014 is upon us! Happy New Year. Let's all agree 2014 is going to be an epic year of change. What change do you want to make in 2014? If you are going to make a change in 2014 with your weight make small baby steps. View my long journey on my blog and let it be an encouragement moving forward.
My health and fitness goals for 2014:
Lose another 20lb and/or get to 199lbs. My current weight is around 221-225lbs as of this writing.
Reduce my body fat by another 10%.
Cook my own meals. Experiment with new recipes.
Help more people lose weight.
Serve more in the community.
I just did ten push ups
So I had this crazy notion to get down on the floor and start doing push ups. For the longest time when you are 100 pounds overweight you tend to have a hard time pushing up!
So tonight I just decided to do ten push ups. I probably could have done five more. I can't express how excited I am. I can do a push up now. This is huge for me. This is also a new challenge for me. When I was one of those, you know, muscle heads in the late 90's I would get up in the morning and just starting doing push ups.
So guess what I'll be doing tomorrow morning when I wake up now? Yes, push ups!
Oh. I'm down a total of 94 pounds now since 7/2010.
Love – @bigjstl
Can you believe it? It's October 1, 2013. Fall is here. Hay rides, Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes and cooler weather.
Today marks another significant achievement in my weightloss journey. I'm down -90.6lbs. My goal now is to be down -100lbs by 12/31/2013.
September 2013 marked another amazing experience for me. On September 3, 2013 I ventured into doing a 21-day detox from meat (red meat, chicken, turkey and fish). I'm happy to say that out of 30 days there was only two days that I had meat (fish and some turkey). The experience was not that difficult. I really don't feel any different but it has allowed me to change some of my eating habits for the good.
Note: I dislike people labels. After this experience with eating no meat I truly respect people who make that choice in life to be a vegan or vegetarian. For me I consider myself a Vegetarian before 6pm. I do see myself moving away from bulky red meat and sticking to fish and other lean meats.
Three more months left in 2013! Challenge yourself to do something awesome for the rest of the year. Volunteer. Help someone in need. Journal your food for a whole month. Be awesome!
Love – BIG J
Yearly Goal Accomplished – What's Next?
Hi Everybody. I'm so excited this morning. I'm finally in the 220's! This morning's weigh-in was 229.2. My total weight loss for the month of August 2013 was 4.4lbs. Total weight loss since 2010: 85lbs.
UPDATE: So I was able to get online at SSM and I looked at the weight trend section. My heaviest recorded weight was 12/28/2009 – 314lbs.
I'm glad I started Fatmanonadiet.com. It has been a great journal experience for me and I have learned and continue to learn so much regarding what works for my body chemistry in losing weight.
I owe a lot of my progress to the principles given by Mark Sisson over at http://www.marksdailyapple.com/ and the priciples of the Primal Blueprint.
For the past couple of weeks I have been experimenting with interval (or intermittent) fasting. A good article on this can be found over at Nerd Fitnes (super awesome website by the way) here: http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2010/02/08/intermittent-fasting/.
For me lately as my major body weight loss has slowed down I have had to find out things that work specifically for my body. The cool thing about all of our bodies – they are completely different. The way we sleep, eat and love. For me not eating breakfast in the morning and making sure I have a good solid lunch and light dinner has definitely kick started my weight loss again just over the past couple of weeks. From 8/10/2013 to 8/31/2013 I lost 2.6lbs by adding intermittent fasting into my routine.
Words of encouragement: Keep going. I can't tell you how important it is to remove grains from your diet. I struggled so much since 2008 up till this year because grains were still in my diet and the excess carbs I had in my body had nowhere to go. Read my previous blog posting from 4-4-2013 Say NO to Bread: http://www.fatmanonadiet.com/2013/04/04/say-no-to-b-r-e-a-d/
Another great resource (and I'm all about digging in and learning more and then learning more again) is: The Beginner's Guide to Paleo Diet over at Nerd Fitness: http://www.nerdfitness.com/the-beginners-guide-to-the-paleo-diet1/
Now onto fitness. That is a whole other code to break. I have been training lately like I'm running for a 10K when in reality I should be doing much less. Why? Well for my body I have found the more fitness I do the more I'm going to eat. So over the past couple of weeks I have been doing simple 30min or less walking routines and doing a full body workout once a week for 25 minutes.
I use the Gain Fitness app for the iPhone. This is a very fabulous app. Here is my basic workout: http://gainf.it/r/172qn
Here is my review on this app: http://www.fatmanonadiet.com/2013/05/02/boom-down-76lbs-new-iphone-app-recommendation-and-status-update/
The goal for my workouts is to exert maximum force on my muscles until they have reached exhaustion and then let my muscles rest for 7 days. I'll report back in a month and let you all know my findings.
I'm excited to say that I have hit two major weight loss goals for myself.
1. Lose 30lbs in 2013. I have lost over 40.8lbs in 2013. Boom!
2. 1st major goal weight milestone – 230lbs – Completed 8-31-2013 – 229.2. Boom.
Thanks again everyone for your support and encouragement through Twitter and Facebook. I hope my suggestions and testimonies continue to inspire and help you live life well.
Love – BIG J

It's the kind of audacious but small-stakes insider trading that normally wouldn't have merited much attention.
Golfing buddies Scott London and Bryan Shaw netted just $1.3 million, a blip in a world where Wall Street kingpins pocket hundreds of millions in ill-gotten gains.
The two men made one misstep after another. Their haplessness virtually guaranteed they'd get nailed, experts said. The scope of their ill-fated caper was made clear Thursday when federal prosecutors in Los Angeles filed a criminal charge against London, alleging that he passed insider tips to Shaw from 2010 to 2013.
Criminal complaint filed against Scott London
London, a former auditor at KPMG, and Shaw, an Encino jeweler, kept trading even after Fidelity Investments suspended Shaw's brokerage account, according to the Justice Department complaint. They swapped packets of cash in public. London brashly predicted that authorities weren't interested in "small fish" like them.
Their most glaring blunder was the decision to trade shares of Herbalife Ltd., a controversy-scarred Los Angeles company that was under intense scrutiny by federal authorities. The pals not only brushed aside the heightened risk in Herbalife but also privately bemoaned that they missed out on bigger profits by not trading more frequently, according to the criminal complaint.
There were enormous stakes involved in the link to nutritional supplements maker Herbalife. The New York Stock Exchange was forced to halt trading of its shares for two hours Tuesday morning after KPMG resigned as Herbalife's outside auditor because of the emerging trading scandal. The halt was intended to prevent panicked traders from dumping the stock out of fear that Herbalife itself was about to release damaging news.
"You got two knuckleheads who keep affirming each other's stupid ideas," said Gene Murphy, a white-collar defense attorney at Murphy & Hourihane in Chicago. They kept at their scheme "even when warning flags are going up [and] the hairs are rising on the back of the neck."
Even Shaw's attorney, Nathan Hochman, conceded the fatal flaw: "It was probably less greed than stupidity."
London fed Shaw confidential tidbits on Herbalife and footwear maker Skechers USA Inc., two companies whose audits he oversaw in his high-ranking job as head auditor at KPMG's L.A. office, according to the complaint. He also leaked information on other KPMG clients.
Shaw rewarded London with tens of thousands in cash, often slipping him manila envelopes stuffed with $100 bills during clandestine meetings on a side street near Shaw's Encino business, according to the complaint.
Shaw also gave London a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona watch worth $12,000, jewelry for his wife and Bruce Springsteen concert tickets.
London's lawyer labeled some of those allegations as "completely bogus," such as the value of the concert tickets.
London publicly admitted wrongdoing in an interview Tuesday night with The Times, saying in penitent terms that he gave bare-bones information to Shaw after his friend's business had suffered financial trouble. The mea culpa appeared to be part of a calibrated strategy to lighten the personal and legal backlash against the Agoura Hills man who had been involved in a variety of civic activities.
However, the actions Thursday from the Justice Department and Securities and Exchange Commission portrayed London as far more involved in the scheme than he had acknowledged, including advising Shaw how to structure trades to conceal their activity.
London plans to plead guilty May 17 and "hopes he will be spared prison time," said his lawyer, Harland W. Braun. Shaw's lawyer said he also expects charges to be filed against his client.
The federal charge of conspiracy to commit securities fraud through insider trading carries a statutory maximum penalty of five years in prison and a fine of $250,000, or twice the gross gain or loss from the offense.
Shaw made $450,000 in Herbalife at one point and the men salivated at the notion that they could make even more, according to the complaint.
In one call, London referred to rumors that Herbalife may be going private, telling Shaw "[t]hat is going to be where you make a ton of money."
What London, 50, and Shaw, 52, never accounted for was the financial and media firestorm that would ensue from any news pertaining to Herbalife.

This simple bread actually contains no yeast, which makes it a snap to prepare. Its slightly dense texture and tangy flavor make it the perfect companion for rich foods like eggs or braised beef.
This recipe was featured as part of our Irish Breakfast for St. Patrick's Day.
- 1Heat the oven to 400°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Lightly dust a baking sheet with all-purpose flour; set aside.
- 2Place both flours, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine, breaking up any lumps. Add buttermilk and melted butter and mix with your hands until almost all of the flour is moistened and the dough holds together, about 1 minute.
- 3Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn out the dough. Knead until it forms a fairly smooth ball with no visible pockets of flour, about 1 minute. Work the dough into a flat round about 7 inches in diameter and 2 inches thick. Place on the prepared baking sheet and, using a sharp knife, slice an "X" across the top, edge to edge and about 1/2 inch deep.
- 4Bake until the internal temperature registers 190°F to 200°F on an instant-read thermometer and the bread makes a hollow sound when tapped, about 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before slicing, about 2 hours. (If you slice the bread before it has completely cooled, it will be crumbly or fall apart.)

How to increase serotonin in the human brain without drugs. Radiation No Concern for Space Crops? Radioactivity lingering in the soil near the site of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident has not prevented life from creeping back at the Ukrainian site.
Now researchers have discovered that oil-rich flax plants grown in the highly radioactive soil can apparently adapt and thrive with few problems. The first generation survived with changes in barely 5 percent of the plant proteins, and researchers have also collected results from a second generation of flax grown in a radioactive plot of land near Chernobyl. But a mystery remains as to how the flax – a source of plant fiber and dietary oil – has adapted biochemically to the highly radioactive environment. Either way, researchers have been surprised to see that "the radioactive Chernobyl area is not a desert, but is full of life," according to Martin Hajduch, senior scientist at the Slovak Academy of Sciences' Institute of Plant Genetics and Biotechnology.

Margaret "Molly" Brown, was an American socialite, philanthropist and active who helped others into lifeboat No. after the Titanic struck the iceberg. She was eventually forced to bored the lifeboat herself, and then uged the crew to return to look for survivors. She became known as "The Unsinkable Molly Brown," her fame as a survivor helped her promote issues close to her heart--workers and womens's rights, children's education and literacy, and the well being of Titanic survivors.
Titanic Jewelry Collection
For four magical days, the Titanic's elite passengers reveled in every modern luxury known at the time. During the early part of the 20th century, it was considered quite sophisticated for wealthy families to spend portions of their time in Europe which meant crossing the Atlantic at least once per year. Even to these jaded travelers, the Titanic ship was like no other. Not only was it the most impressive ship of its time draped in every luxury imaginable but so were its passengers. The women of the Titanic would plan for months to bring the right fashionable apparel aboard such a luxurious ship. Along with extensive outfit planning came accessorizing: large hats, mink stoles, gloves and of course, the jewelry. Jewelry of that time was depictive of the Art Nouveau and Edwardian eras. Art Nouveau jewelry was influenced by naturalism involving unusual designs within a symmetrical frame often encompassing foliage, leaves, enamel, pearls, crystals and gemstones. Edwardian designs included more formal jewelry: tiaras, brooches, rings, pendants, earrings, bracelets and sautoir necklaces. Many were set with brilliant gemstones, including diamonds, crystals and of course, pearl. Join JTV as we embark upon a journey of adventure and elegance and mark the 100th year of the Titanic's maiden voyage. Read More

Using Scooters and Go-Karts to Disrupt Engineering Education
Originally posted on Make::
Charles Guan is not a typical engineer. He not only makes electric vehicles very well, but is currently inspiring and teaching students as an instructor in a class he created. His mission is to give engineering students a meaningful hardware experience as early in their career as possible, by requiring them to work through the challenges of sourcing parts and building something reasonably complex – a working electric vehicle. The class has now been successfully run three times, with the current curriculum based around two-person teams, each of which is allocated a budget, access to a well-equipped shop, and a semester to build (and compete with) their vehicle.

Of course, getting people interested in the class isn't hard, especially with the hum of electric motors and joyous students zipping around the halls in scooters or go-karts. Charles has…

In May, The Monacelli Press will release a new book called Martha's Vineyard: Contemporary Living by Keith Moskow, AIA, and Robert Linn. The principals of Moskow Linn Architects in Boston, the authors have assembled a collection of houses from such firms as the Office of Peter Rose, Hutker Architects, Rick Sundberg/Olson Kundig Architects, and Shope Reno Wharton.
The book is a sequel of sorts to Moskow's first volume, The Houses of Martha's Vineyard, and features more recent projects. "We have chosen to study the introduction of a contemporary vocabulary to the island's landscape," he and Linn write in the introduction. A handy map shows approximately where on the island each project is located, and floor and site plans complement the full-color photography. Wood and stone are the predominant materials in the featured houses, many of which consist of a group of smaller pavilions rather than one large building. Fans of the Vineyard--or just of contemporary takes on a traditional vernacular--will enjoy perusing its pages.--m.d.

This is amazing. I hope there is more to this that the story reports but from what the comments on the story say this seems to be an all to common type of thing the police in Lakewood pull.
This woman had a nice collection of guns. The police somehow found out about it, went to her house, with no search warrant by the way, and found she was not at home. They got the manager of the condo complex to open her unit without her consent ! and they went in and took all of her guns! When she found out, she went to the PD and asked for her guns back. The police acknowledge that the guns were legally owned but will not give them back without a court order!!
I really hope she has a good lawyer and that she bankrupts the city for this!

Thirteen runs, six balls, three bowlers to choose from. Only one winner.
Fifty thousand people are watching your every move. The decision you make will be discussed and debated endlessly on talk shows, newspapers and over cups of coffee. And if your decision costs the game, you will get pilloried publicly.
I wonder what ran through the mind of Indian cricket captain M.S. Dhoni during the recent India vs. South Africa ICC World Cup match. Dhoni overlooked the popular options and chose Ashish Nehra to bowl in the last over. Nehra basically handed the game to South Africa.

Stop, is a video installation of images of youth from Brooklyn & Liverpool who state the multiple times they were stopped by police. Read more
Stop, is a video installation of images of youth from Brooklyn & Liverpool who state the multiple times they were stopped by police.
About this project
Stop Happens!
Or more accurately, Stop will happen. We surpassed goal #1 of $2150! The past few days have been very encouraging I want to thank you all for the support so far!
Final Goal = $3600
To fully realize my vision for the project, I want to go to Liverpool to participate in the video shoot there. To do this, I need to reach $3600 in contributions. If you haven't backed the project, please back it for at least $1. You'll become part of broad base of support bringing this important project to life. And with this backing, you will be connected to the project and get updates about it in the coming months.
Project description
Stop will be a video installation. It will put faces to the numbers — hundreds of thousands — of people who are unjustly detained by police.
I need funds to complete it. It comes out of a collaboration between myself, Joann Kushner an artist in Liverpool UK, and young adults in Brooklyn and Liverpool who we have been working with since 2011.
Last year New York police stopped almost 700,000 people as part of their "Stop and Frisk" policy. The overwhelming majority, about 90%, were doing nothing wrong at the time and were completely innocent. Most were young and Black or Latino. A similar policy exists in Liverpool and developed after NY police chief William Bratton was invited to be a consultant with his counterpart in Hartlepool UK, in 1996. In the UK, young adults of all races have been criminalized.
Stop will be a projection of portraits of several youth from East New York Brooklyn and Liverpool, UK. Brooklyn will be on one wall and Liverpool will face them on the other. The life-sized projections will stand and face each other, the audience will be in the middle. Over time each of the young adults will reveal how many times (35, 50, 83, etc) they have each been stopped by the police during their lifetime. The youth will be having a virtual "conversation" across an ocean with each other as well as with the audience. The audience will see the faces and bodies and hear the in their own voices the numbers that cause them to be viewed as statistics.
But this can only happen if I reach the fundraising goal by August 7th. You can pledge using the BACK THIS PROJECT button in the right hand column on this page.
The larger project, Post Code Criminals, gives voice to Liverpool and New York community concerns about contemporary policing strategies, which effectively criminalize youth based on the neighborhood they live in.
I've been leading workshops with young adults from East NY Brooklyn (a neighborhood with one of the city's highest police Stop and Frisk rates) since last December and Joann has been working with similar youth in Liverpool. We have been teaching them photography and art. They have made work about their communities and the police intervention in their lives.
This multi faceted project will be exhibited in Rush Arts Gallery. The show opens September 13, 2012.
Using cell phones, our students have made a powerful series of photographs about their neighborhoods and lives. Stop needs to be part of this exhibit and I need your support to make this video installation happen.
What is the money for?
Production costs. Your support will enable me to rent lights ($300), professional HD video cameras ($375), studios to shoot the video ($675), assistant ($200). It will also pay for backdrops, cabs, car rentals and many miscellaneous things to support the shoot ($600). All this is for video sessions in both Brooklyn and Liverpool.
The Kickstarter goal of $2150 is for two video shoots - one in Liverpool and one in Brooklyn. However this is a minimum to make this project happen and relies on my Liverpool collaborators to shoot their part without me present. I really want to go to Liverpool to participate in the shoot there, and to do this I'll need an additional $1450. Being on hand to do the shoot myself will make the project stronger and I'd be able to meet with people there to advance plans for bringing the project to Liverpool. So I'd like your help to make this happen too.
What will it look like?
The installation is straightforward. There will be life sized projections of the young adults on opposite walls. They will stand fairly motionless through the length of the video; a cross between a full length portrait and part of a collective line of youth from their city. The audience will walk between the two rows and have the opportunity to look at the portraits and hear the numbers of stops each person has been subject to. Collectively it will be an ever-increasing number.
If you give, you will also receive. I've put together some great rewards. If you contribute you can have one of them. Take a look at the right hand column to find the one that is right for you. With some of the rewards, I'm selling my past work in order to raise funds for this piece. If you just want to give money to the project, that's great too, but I'm happy to pass on some of my work in exchange.

Sailbourne Entertainment (a European film production company) selects the Jones family to be the subject of their documentary: Life and Times in the Caribbean. It requires that a camera crew follow the family around for six days after which the family will receive $10,000 US. Irving (the patriarch of the family) signs the contract to do the show against Angela's (his wife) wishes. Now, Irving, Angela, Tracy (their 17-year-old daughter) and Nathan (their 10-year-old son) have to coexist while the camera crew films their every move.
Keeping Up with the Joneses is a Barbadian sitcom with international flavour. It shows how a regular family deals with its day-to-day issues and aims to provide a highly entertaining package from which morals and values can be extracted from each episode.

Ran strong for 7 years.
Relatively light weight.
Made extremely cheaply. Hard to fit together when assembling, required a rubber mallet and lots of WD40 to bang into shaft. Gearing for height adjustment very low quality.
nothing now
doesn't work, reliability issues
I like the "Black and Decker" quality, durability, and reliability.
the screaming
Very powerful and easy to use.
No real cons. The extension cord can be a bit awkward to deal with at times, but that's what you expect from any corded product.
good job when it works
didn't work very long, about 1/2 hour.
My lawn has a really nice, clean, finished look to it after I use my Edge Hog. Edging with a manual edger, especially with my Bermuda grass, is extremely difficult, so I really appreciate the dependability, power and consistency of the Edge Hog. I love it!
The only thing I'd change would be the way the blade is replaced. It's probably just me - I'm not much of a tool person, and I find it awkward. But I still give it 5 stars!
It is powerful and easy to use because it is lightweight.
It doesn't have a lock to hold the trigger down. Had to switch hands a couple of times.
REALLY easy to use.....leaves a beautiful edge. Never use your string trimmer to do this job!!!!
The only con I have is that, after a year of use, for some reason it just seized up and the blade wouldn't turn. I took it to a "certified" Black & Decker repair shop here in Ft. Worth. It's been there two weeks and not fixed yet. They say the part they need is on backorder. That means either this machine breaks down a lot or so seldom that the part(s) aren't readily available. In either case, maybe I should buy a different brand that has better reliability. I hate to change brands but SHEESH.....two weeks to repair it???????

Did we really need another Mummy movie?
I know trilogies are the chic thing to do nowadays, but did we really need a 3rd Mummy movie? I could understand the sequel. After all, the first film was a blockbuster smash–one that I very much enjoyed–but it's already been 7 years since The Mummy Returns–one that I did not enjoy–and the rest of us have long since moved on, so why can't Hollywood.

At Home: The Counterfeiters
Like a lot of the films that win the Oscar for best foreign language film, I had not heard of The Counterfeiters when it won that award last February. That's probably because at that time, the Austrian Holocaust drama was still a month away from being released in Seattle theaters and they just don't play trailers for foreign films at Hollywood-heavy multiplexes.

Are you a long-time Mint.com user like I am? Wouldn't you like to really learn how to best use it to manage your personal finances? I've always been a pretty big fan of their online budgeting software, but never quite figured out all the little hacks and tabs.
It works great for creating a monthly game plan of how I'll spend my personal income as well as creating long-term goals for investing and saving.
But the only thing I found annoying was that there's no comprehensive guide on how to use it and maximize it to manage my finances. Until now…
How to Use Mint.com with The Mint Manual
Enter The Mint Manual: A shortcut to mastering and saving money with Mint.com by Tim Murphy!
Finally there's a step-by-step guide that will show you how to use Mint.com while saving you tons of time and headache. It also includes instructions for using different types of devices.
The design and format is beautiful, clean and easy to understand. The Mint Manual is made up of 5 stand alone sections, in case you don't use the other types of devices:
- The Mint Website
- iPad App
- iPhone App
- Android Tablet App
- Android Phone App
Tim doesn't just do the cut and dry tips either, he includes screenshots, secret tips and even a cheat sheet. He uses his own finances as examples and even displays a few super nerd sections (that you can skip if you're not a financial nerd).
Q&A with Tim Murphy
1. As a long time Mint user, what gave you the (genius) idea to create a Mint Manual? Does Mint have anything close to this for it's users already?
I've been a Mint user for about 4 years. The idea for the book actually came from Chris Guillebeau's book, The $100 Startup. He told the story about Brett Kelly doing a detailed user guide for Evernote called, Evernote Essentials. Brett was extremely successful with that book, which made me think about other programs that had a lot of users who might not be getting the most out of said program.
Mint stood out because 1) it's got a ton of users — 10 million or so 2) it's really easy to learn the basics, but the fine points take time, so most people just stop at the basics (that's what I heard from every Mint user I talked to). I wanted to provide a short-cut to all the good stuff.
Mint does have some tutorials, but they usually just cover the basics and don't really drill down. I haven't seen anything that's nearly as comprehensive and easy as The Mint Manual.
2. Yes, I agree. Your guide is full of simple instructions and helpful screenshots. How long did it take you to compile everything into this epic guide?
It was a lot of time and effort, especially the screenshots. One of the barriers to entry in making a Mint guide is that obscurring all of one's financial information (while keeping the guide pretty) is really time consuming. As for the writing itself, I really put my head down and cranked out a workable version in about a month.
Then it went to editing (Alexis Grant) and design (Justin Jurek). Design took longer because there is so much iterating. Beginning to end, it was 2-3 months.
Slightly embarrassing note: I actually hate techno music but I heard that a lot of programmers use it when writing code. I tried and found it really helped me focus by drowning out any other distraction. Because I don't own any techno songs, I used http://www.getworkdonemusic.com/.
3. How did you learn about all the little tips and tricks? (I especially like the part where you suggest opening multiple tabs — so smart!)
Yes! The tabs part is a huge time-saver. Most of the tricks I learned by my own trial and error over the years. That's a very inefficient way to learn, and will turn off a lot of people, which is why I wanted to create the The Mint Manual as a short-cut.
I also contacted Mint Help from time to time and spent a good amount of time on the Mint forums. That gave me an idea of what was causing users confusion and where people needed help.
4. Between the full version website, the iPad/tablet apps and the smartphone apps, which Mint version do you use the most (or find most user-friendly) and why?
Which do I use the most? I still use the web version the most, mainly because it has every feature I need and I can work very quickly. After that, definitely the iPhone app.
Searching all transactions is a lot easier on iOS than Android, and I also love being able to split transactions when organizing on the go (something you can't currently do with an Android device).
5. What's your favorite feature about Mint? Why do you like it?
Macro-level: I like Mint because it makes managing your money easier and so much more enjoyable. I'm convinced it was made for people who hate doing their finances. Between budgets, goals, bill reminders, alerts, and instant access to your financial history – it doesn't get easier. And it's FREE.
Micro-level: I LOVE that you can look up transactions from years back and see exactly how much you spent, at what vendor, and when – all in like 5 seconds from a mobile device. I've used this during negotiations (to compare what I've spent on comparable services in the past), when reviewing bills (to see if my bill went up from last time), and just to review overall spending.
6. Are you hoping to be an official Mint consultant or enter into a collaboration with Mint? You never know!
Am I hoping to be a Mint consultant? Ha — with all my cheer leading it probably sounds like I already am! (I'm not Obviously I think Mint is the best personal finance software out there.
I'd love to collaborate with them, if nothing else to get The Mint Manual to more of their users – that's definitely win-win-win. There is so much more to Mint than most people realize, and The Mint Manual fixes that by showing short-cuts to all the good stuff.
Thanks for taking time to answer my questions, Tim. And thank you for creating this super helpful and time-saving guide for all of us to benefit from!

Washington, D.C.--- June 6, 1998 --- A signed calendar from Newt Gringrich and accompanying correspondence garnered the highest bid at a charity auction for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF).
The autographed calendar skyrocketed in value after his office faxed a letter to the Task Force yesterday stating that the donation was made without the Speaker's knowledge or consent and that Gingrich "does not support the Gay and Lesbian Task Force [sic]."
The calendar and that letter, along with the letter his office originally sent with the Calendar wishing the Task Force a "successful event," was a featured item in the auction which included more than 600 items, including cruises and trips, art work, and Redskins tickets.
After much spirited bidding, the "Gingrich Package" went for a whopping $1900. "We're incredibly grateful to Speaker Gingrich for his generosity and his help," stated Kerry Lobel, NGLTF Executive Director. "The Speaker has our assurance that we will commit the proceeds from his calendar and the letters to fighting the anti-gay intolerance and discrimination he spurs," added Lobel.
The Speaker's office also aided, albeit indirectly, in garnering not only money but publicity for the event. The auction, along with letters from his office, was mentioned in today's Washington Post "Style Section." Appropriately, the winner of the "Gingrich Package" lives in Georgia and was raised in Cobb County, Gingrich's own home county.
"Contrary to the reputation Newt Gingrich gives Georgia, our state is at the forefront of pro-gay and pro-lesbian issues. I thought it fitting to bring the calendar home to Newt since he was so generous to give it to us," said Garrith Xavier-Carey, the winning bidder and a real estate professional from Atlanta.

More often than not, that man was Serge Gainsbourg, the seductive singer-songwriter who orchestrated the careers of ye-ye wunderkinds like France Gall, and penned songs for Brigitte Bardot and Petula Clark. Unlike Bardot, Clark was born in England, but became a huge star in France, on the back of songs like this re-recording of her anglo hit "Downtown."

Te Ata Memorial Auditorium
USAO Ballroom
Austin Hall
CHICKASHA – After scoring a hat trick in Thursday's game at Lubbock Christian, Stephen Owusu was named Sooner Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week. Owusu came in off the bench in Thursday's game to score three unanswered goals to give the Drovers the 3-1 win over the Chaps and help secure the undefeated season. He comes in as USAO's second leading scorer with 11 goals so far this season. It is his first year with the Drovers and his first career hat trick. It is Owusu's first conference honor and the Droves' sixth of the season.
CHICKASHA – With three key starters and two big scorers off the bench coming back for a senior year, the Drovers are in good shape for a strong 2012-13 season. Head Coach Brisco McPherson said he thinks this year's team will come in with strong athleticism, coupled with the benefit that there are seven seniors and five juniors bringing in a high level of play and experience. McPherson said he was impressed with the intensity the players showed in their two preseason scrimmages.

CHICKASHA – In the summer of 2008, Annie Zoch made one of the toughest — and consequently one of the best — decisions of her life. Zoch, from Mannford, turned down a scholarship from Oklahoma State University and instead decided to attend USAO. "I originally chose USAO because my sister already was there," Zoch said. "I am so glad that I did, my college experience was better than I ever imagined it could be." The 2012 graduate now faces the challenge of her first post-college job and the thrill of a limitless future.

Shawnee Peak Resort Website Launch – Capturing "The Unique"
Having just returned from visiting Shawnee Peak to celebrate their 75th birthday, I'm reminded just how different every resort really is. Sure they all have grooming, lessons, rentals, retail, food and beverage, and such – but the nuances that give each resort their own character is what we always need to discover and focus on.
The unique nature of each resort is what I love to discover and then showcase through the custom websites we design. I also love the transformative effect that we gain from coming in with a fresh perspective. For Shawnee, as you can see from the before and after screenshots here, that transition was most dramatic. The site now is in-line with the brand vision of Shawnee Peak's marketing director, Rechael Wilkinson. She has done an amazing job of establishing an attractive, honest, and unique visual identity for the resort, and has applied it consistently to every touch point in a very short time.
The success of this project started with connecting on person to person level and learning these important nuances of the resort. Rachel and Josh – with Chet looking over our shoulders, provided us with a very honest view of what the resort was really about. Who their customers are today, and who they want to attract tomorrow. We listened very closely, added our own thoughts, and together designed this website to accurately reflect what is great about this brand, and connect with their customers of today and tomorrow.
As Rachael generously offered: "I have really loved working with Propeller. From the first on-site visit where we did a tour of the Mountain on ATV's, through to the site launch – Propeller's reativity, responsiveness and ease to work with has made this process smooth."
The before and after in this case is significant. Now we're telling the true and honest story. We're also making it easier for visitors to find this gem through improved SEO. By making it easier to buy online, we're contributing real ROI.

The ongoing cost of toner is key. We looked at what it would cost to buy each printer and keep it stocked with toner for three years. To calculate this, we worked out a usage scenario that takes into account the amount and type of output you might expect for an average home. This scenario includes an average output of 10 black and white prints and one full colour print per day. It includes the cost of replacement toner cartridges, but not other engine components such as the 'drum' which have a fixed life in most models and must be replaced separately at regular intervals (though not as often as toner). The cost of these parts and the service intervals vary from printer to printer.The prices we paid range from $269 for the Samsung CLP‑315 to $1007 for the Kyocera Ecosys FS-C5100DN. The Kyocera costs less for toner over three years ($945) than the Samsung ($1043). But the Samsung still works out cheaper to own over the three-year period, at $1312. The Kyocera closed the initial price gap somewhat, finishing at a total three-year cost (printer price plus toner) of $1952. The difference is more dramatic, however, with two other similarly priced printers, the Dell 1320c ($399) and the Konica Minolta 1600W ($464), which ended up at opposite ends of the cost scale in our three-year total cost projection. Three years of toner for the Konica Minolta printer works out at $709, but for the Dell this cost blows out to $5237. This brings the cost of ownership (toner and printer cost only) for three years to $1172 for the Konica Minolta 1600W, versus $5636 for the Dell 1320c.
