Kelly Marbaugh
Gk-12 Fellow (Partnered with Ann HajIbrahim, Central Catholic)
I received my B.S. with Honors in bioengineering from The University of Toledo in
May 2009. As an undergraduate student, I had the opportunity to intern with DePuy
Orthopaedics, a Johnson and Johnson Company as well as work in several biomechanics
research labs at The University of Toledo. These hands-on opportunities helped to
spark my interest in research. The excitement of going beyond what is known and tackling
challenges in research truly captured my imagination and piqued my curiosity in other
areas of bioengineering. When I began my graduate studies, I diversified my research
interests and focused on the emerging arena of biofuels. I am currently a doctoral
candidate in the Department of Bioengineering, investigating the downstream processing
of carbohydrates from renewable source biomass.
Over the years, I have realized that my interest and passion for science and mathematics
were fostered at an early age by dedicated, passionate, and talented educators. As
the daughter of an elementary school teacher, I have witnessed first-hand the commitment
necessary to develop a supportive learning environment which cultivates a life-long
thirst for knowledge and encompasses growth academically, personally and socially.
I am excited to use my experience and knowledge to promote science, math and engineering
while working with the students at Toledo Central Catholic.

Literacy Research Discussion Group: Visuals in cookbooks: Jamie Oliver and recent transformationsDate: 10 May 2011 Time: 1.00 - 2.00 pm Venue: County South, Room C89 Ana Tominc, Lancaster University Photographic material plays an essential role in contemporary instructional genres, such as cookbooks. Not only does such multimodality aid the reader's understanding of the process of preparation, but they also represent a certain lifestyle. Increasingly, certain kinds of cookbooks include also representations of particular places, people and habits. In this talk I focus on the visual aspect of cookbooks in Slovenia. While older cookbooks hardly contained a small amount of drawings, this changed as technological advancements in printing and photography allowed for photographs of food to be included in the books in a larger number. However, as Jamie Oliver's books were first introduced to Slovenia in 2002, they contained not only food photography (and, some of them also 'food-porn') but also the images of the chef-celebrity, his friends and family, and representation of his daily habits. In the final section of my talk I compare Oliver's visuals to those found in some very recent Slovene cookbooks. I argue that the visual element is just another part of transformation of cookbooks as genres in post 1989 Slovenia as it matches transformations found in linguistic material. This talk will include a number of food photographs which are designed to make you hungry - you are very welcome to bring your lunch!

How much "play" (wiggle) is there supposed to be when plugging in the charger to the 8X? Is the metal supposed to go all the way in until it reaches the black plastic and lock in?
Mine is charging fine, but there is some wiggle when it is plugged in and you can see perhaps a cm of metal when it stops going in. I am coming from an iPhone 4, which locked in solidly with no play when the charger was connected. Thanks! -
A little wiggle is normal, I believe.

Yeah. I have the exact same.. Had my phone well over a month. No issues. I think its designed to have a touch of play. The EVO 4G was notorious for loose charging ports. The solder joints broke. I'm contemplating making a kick stand that snaps in/on this area to make it easier to watch movies..

2 students were left stranded at bus stops this morning in sub-zero weather, while others were left home after buses either didn't start or stalled out on their routes this morning because of the cold.
"It was a bit chaotic," said Superintendent Jack Copps.
Copps wasn't notified of the problem until 7 a.m. — late in the morning for parents or district officials to arrange other rides for students, he said. The district tried to notify parents using its automated phone calling system, but the system first sent out only a garbled message, further compounding the problem.

The competition in Lone Pine volleyballŌĆÖs Desert Mountain League was intense this year with the final seeding for CIF playoffs coming down to a coin toss. Unfortunately, the coin did not flip in the Lady EaglesŌĆÖ favor, nor did their final DML league game Wednesday evening. The Eagles hosted the Mammoth Huskies who needed the win to end the season in a three-way tie for league champion with Desert and Desert Christian. Mammoth got the win, 3-1.
The Big Pine Lady Warriors volleyball six held their own through the first two sets of play against the Immanuel Christian Crusaders Tuesday afternoon on home court. While the Warriors got some momentum going through the final two sets, they fell 1-3. Big PineŌĆÖs final game will be this Saturday at 11 a.m. at home against the tough Trona Tornadoes. The good news for Big Pine: the team is very young; everyone should be back in 2014 and this year has set a strong foundation for good things to come.
The Lone Pine Golden Eagles Volleyball beat the Vasquez Mustangs for the second time this season and did it the hard way on the road. The Mustangs were ranked ninth in their CIF division, but fell 3-0 to the Eagles in Lone Pine earlier this month, setting up a real battle in Acton Thursday afternoon. Time for a little Vasquez payback. ŌĆ£We knew we would have a fight on our hands after our three-game sweep,ŌĆØ said coach Mel Joseph.

The Conway Ranch Fish-Out Derby
The Bishop Broncos enjoyed a much-needed football victory against their opponent, the Ravens, beneath the windless evening sky in Cal City. The first half kick off put the Broncos deep in their own territory at the 9-yard line. The team advanced the ball a short distance up field before the Ravens took over on BishopŌĆÖs 28 off an errant snap on the punt.
The Big Pine Lady Warriors hosted Lee Vining Thursday and sent the TigersŌĆÖ volleyball squad back up the hill with a 3-0 sweep. In game one Melissa Barlow executed a kill, putting Sienna Gutierrez at the service line. The score was 3-2 and Gutierrez went on a 6-point run. Lee Vining couldnŌĆÖt close the gap after GutierrezŌĆÖs serve, only getting a couple of point breaks from Mackenzie Kendall and Marie Lightner. Big PineŌĆÖs Anah-Kee Mason and Gena Lewis had multi-point runs at the line. Mason ran up 5 service points and Lewis added 6. The final score in game one: 25-11

I have less than 0 idea what the hell "Snooker" is, but I'm going to say it's the hands down perfect venue for farting in crucial moments. He had to overkill it though with the second puff. One rip is perfect. Unexpected, playful and hilarious. But to go back to it again 30 seconds later? That's amateur hour. Dude just got greedy. Should have pulled a Constanza and went out on top. It's all about showmanship in the farting game.
PS – How about this uptight bitch? Eyeing down the farter with no regard for humanity. Chances she's been hate fucked on that Snooker table? 4000%.

Eyewitness to the War in the Pacific
Donated Collection Helps Wright Museum Tell the Personal Side of WWII
(Published October 2007)
A diary, a makeshift rosary, and an altar fashioned out of cocoanut leaves illustrate one soldier's experience of the Pacific war in 1942.
Eldred L. Butler, PFC, Company K, 182nd Infantry, lived in Salem, Mass., where he enlisted in the Army on February 28, 1941. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, he was deployed to the Pacific, arriving first in Melbourne, Australia. Over the next several months, he'd serve in New Caledonia, New Hebrides, Guadalcanal, and the Fiji Islands.
Butler kept a diary chronicling his experiences during his first year in the Pacific. A devout Catholic, he regularly attended masses held at an improvised altar made out of locally-available materials. Sunday services occasionally could not be held if no priest was available, as Butler frequently noted in his journal. The diary is part of a recent bequest that was made to the Wright Museum by his family.
At right: Pencil and pastel sketch portrait of Eldred "Al" Butler.
Among the other artifacts in the Butler Collection is a rosary, remarkable for the fact that Butler replaced each bead with the seeds of native South Pacific plants. While the rosary is an extraordinary artifact that illustrates Butler's religious devotion and innate ingenuity, it raises as many questions as it answers: Why did the prayer beads need replacing in the first place? Did he wear them out—a consequence of the anxiety he must have felt, being in harms way in an alien land? Was it homesickness for the familiar sights and sounds of New England, coupled with a longing for his beloved sweetheart, Natailie? Butler passed away recently, taking the answers to these questions with him.
Butler's diary, however, is a remarkably illustrative source of information, documenting his own experiences 65 years ago. Butler uses a literary voice that combines a youthful exuberance with a strangely modern sense of irony:
September 13: Sunday. Went to Mass in field. Boys built a very pretty alter [sic].
September 18: Eats and quarters are just fine. Enjoying trip very much. Held rosary on top side last evening. Mess room is Monte Carlo at night.
Sept. 20: Arrived at the New Hebrides at 9AM. …Have been taking quinine for last few days.
Sept. 21: Slept on ground last night. Many rats and bats about. …Living in a coconut grove. Need to wash and shave and haircut badly. Much malaria on this Island. … This is wild country.
Sept. 27: Sunday. No priest. No Mass. Just another day. Ticks. Ants. Bugs. Etc. That's Tropical Splendor.
Oct. 2: Moved 7 miles north. Did a hell of a days work. …I could sleep on a picket fence.
Oct. 7: On guard today at the entrance post. Just heard the Cards won the series. Feel very pleased about it. [Note: Butler was a Mass. native and devoted Red Sox fan. St. Louis had beaten the N.Y. Yankees for the title in 1942. Butler's glee goes to show that some things never change. ]
Oct. 11: Millions of flies—Just awful. I wonder how my gal is.
Butler sent his diary back home to Natalie at the end of 1942. In a touching postscript, Natalie added the following passage:
September 24, 1943
Just an addition to your diary. Al, today is the happiest day of my life. Received your telegram, that you have arrived back in the States after 21 months of overseas duty. I realize to-day, that I love you more as each day passes. And I pray each night for you. May you come home soon and be with me for always.
With All My Love,

Updated Jan. 31, 2012: The United States Court of Appeals Ninth Circuit issued a ruling. The lawsuit has been dismissed.
University of the Pacific has been involved in a highly publicized lawsuit ("Jane Doe vs. University of the Pacific") related to a sexual assault that occurred on campus in 2008. Immediately after learning of the assault, the University contacted Jane Doe to express concern and to provide full support for her. The University then initiated an investigation and judicial hearings that followed best practices. Regrettably, the victim and her family were not satisfied by the process or outcome, and they sued the University in March 2009.
On September 17, 2010, after reviewing all of the evidence presented, the United States District Court in Sacramento dismissed the lawsuit - the judge wholly and fully rejected all allegations made against the University. Read the judge's ruling. The plaintiff appealed. On Jan. 31, 2012, a three-judge panel of the United State Court of Appeals Ninth Circuit upheld the District Court ruling. Read the Appellate Court's ruling.
The Association for Student Conduct Administration recently shared the details of this case with its members as an example of how a university should respond to a sexual assault complaint. Their independent analysis is also online.
Through the entire, painful incident, the University has remained deeply committed to act with sensitivity and respect for the privacy of the victim. For that reason, the University, the plaintiff and the Court have worked together to maximize student privacy by keeping most of the records related to the case sealed. Throughout the litigation, the University has honored the assault victim's desire for privacy, adhered to its legal obligations under FERPA (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act), and worked to protect the victim from further painful accounts of this incident in the media.
From the outset, this issue had the full and complete attention of the University. The University strongly encouraged the victim to go to the Stockton Police and immediately offered counseling and victim's advocacy services to Jane Doe. Even without a statement from the victim, the University proceeded immediately to investigate the incident under its policies and responsibilities under Title IX. The University tried the case under its judicial review process fairly and carefully, with full support to Jane Doe and with the rights and confidentiality of all of the students fully protected. After careful consideration and interviewing all witnesses, the judicial board found three students responsible for different actions under the University's sexual assault policy and levied significant sanctions against all three, including two suspensions, one dismissal, and permanent notation on their academic records. The case was appealed and the campus appeals board supported the findings of the judicial board. Full due process was followed in both reviews and Jane Doe was assisted and supported throughout by the campus Victim Advocate and best-practice judicial proceedings for victims.
The University was then, and still is, committed to doing all it can to provide a safe, supportive academic and social environment for all its students. We enforce a zero-tolerance policy for sexual assault and all forms of violence and provide required sexual assault awareness education for all students.
The University of the Pacific community has always expressed its sympathy and support for Jane Doe. Her lawsuit has not changed that fact. We recognize the pain and trauma Jane Doe has experienced as a result of the assault, and we hope that she finds comfort and healing in her future.
The University offers many resources for sexual assault. More information on sexual assault prevention, reporting and victim support resources at Pacific:

Energy Center issues weatherization subgrant to Community Services, Inc.
For more information: 573-751-1010
Volume 37-216 For Immediate Release: Aug. 4, 2009
JEFFERSON CITY, MO, AUG. 4, 2009 -- The Department of Natural Resources' Energy Center has issued $326,663 in Weatherization subgrant funds to Community Services, Inc (CSI), to help low income Missourians reduce home energy costs.
CSI. is one of 18 Missouri agencies that implement the state's Low Income Weatherization Assistance Program, enabling low-income Missouri families to permanently reduce their energy bills by making their homes more energy efficient. The elderly, physically disadvantaged and families with children are program priorities. Since the program began in 1978, weatherization funds have helped to weatherize more than 155,000 Missouri homes. CSI serves citizens in nine northwest Missouri counties: Andrew, Atchison, Buchanan, Clinton, DeKalb, Gentry, Holt, Nodaway and Worth.
The subgrant to CSI is from a U.S. Department of Energy grant administered by the Department's Energy Center. Additional program funding also comes from the Missouri Department of Social Services and through agreements made in rate adjustment cases by Missouri utilities to weatherize additional homes in their service areas.
The Department's Energy Center is a nonregulatory state office that works to protect the environment and stimulate the economy through energy efficiency and renewable energy resources and technologies.

Tennessee State University has been awarded a $900,000 grant by the NCAA to develop enhancements to increase student-athletes' academic performance.
TSU is among six institutions to receive the grant. The other schools receiving a $900,000 grant are California State University at Northridge, Coppin State University and Jackson State University. Morehead State University will receive $360,000 and Norfolk State University will receive $330,000.
(FCS), identified as "limited-resource" institutions, meet NCAA Academic Performance Program (APP) standards.
According to the NCAA, Division I institutions in the bottom 10 percent of resources as determined by per capita institutional expenditures, athletics department funding and Pell Grant aid were eligible to apply for the program.
The grant provides TSU an opportunity to expand its Complete College Tennessee Act activities to ensure that needed extra services are available to student-athletes, who because they are constantly on the road, are not always available to take full advantage of those services.
With the emphasis of improving the graduation rate among student-athletes, the NCAA aims to help schools develop sustainable plans to ensure that all teams meet the 930 APR benchmark, which goes into effect in 2016-17 for limited-resource institutions. TSU currently has a 67 percent graduation rate for student-athletes. The APR benchmark focuses on improving the eligibility and retention of student-athletes.
As a requirement, institutions receiving the NCAA grant must develop enhancements such as summer bridge programs, financial aid for summer school, funding additional staff, as well as improving facilities and technology for student-athletes.
The University plans to use the funds to enhance already existing student success programs such as the Academic Boot Camp and Excel-O-Rate summer programs, which have shown positive retention rate among students, including student-athletes. The programs provide mentoring and monitor participants' progress for at least two years to make sure students have access to tutoring, advising, counseling and health-related services.
The grant will help TSU ensure that academic enhancements are available to student-athletes at all times, including having mentors and tutors accompany student-athletes as they travel.
The Director of Athletics, Teresa Phillips, referred to the NCAA grant as a "huge enhancement for academic support for our student-athletes."
"There are so many challenges with retaining and graduating student-athletes within the APR expectation that a great deal of attention has to be paid to student services," Phillips said. "With this grant and the support of the University, we will be able to provide the needed services to meet our benchmark of increasing student-athletes' graduation rate."
The grant is the result of a proposal put together by the athletics department with input from several individuals.

Nexen is a Canadian oil and gas company based in Calgary, Alberta. On February 25, 2013, Nexen became a wholly owned subsidiary of Beijing-based CNOOC Limited.
It has three growth strategies: oil sands and shale gas in western Canada as well as conventional exploration and development primarily in the North Sea, offshore in West Africa, and deepwater exploration in the Gulf of Mexico.4
Nexen started in 1969 as Canadian Occidental Petroleum Ltd. (CanOxy), and was 80% owned by Occidental Petroleum, an oil company based in Los Angeles. In the first decade of its existence, CanOxy was fairly Canadian-oriented. During the 1980s and 1990s they increased their international holdings, first in the Gulf of Mexico, then into places like Yemen and the North Sea. Further Canadian assets were also acquired.
In the 1990s, Nexen, then known as CanOxy, purchased the assets of what once was the first state-owned oil and gas company in North America; Wascana Energy Inc., formerly known as SaskOil. Founded by Saskatchewan New Democratic Party Premier Allan Blakeney in 1973, Saskoil was privatized in 1986 by Progressive Conservative Premier Grant Devine.5
Acquisition by CNOOC Limited
CNOOC Limited, a major subsidiary of CNOOC headquartered in Beijing, acquired Nexen on February 25, 2013, Nexen. Nexen's common stock shareholders received cash proceeds of USD$27.50, without interest, whereas preferred stock shareholders of Nexen received cash proceeds of CAD$26, plus accrued and unpaid dividends without interest.4
Energy operations
Nexen has interests in Canada (including the Athabasca oil sands through a 7.23% ownership of Syncrude and the Long Lake project), the UK North Sea, the United States, and offshore West Africa. Beginning in February 2013, Nexen took accountability for managing approximately $8 billion in CNOOC Limited assets located throughout North and Central America.
Long Lake
The Long Lake project in the Athabasca Oil Sands was initiated in 2001. It was started in order to develop the Long Lake site using steam-assisted gravity drainage and the OrCrude process for on-site upgrading. Production capacity at Long Lake is 72,000 barrels of bitumen per day which, when upgraded, is capable of generating approximately 58,500 barrels per day. The proved reserves at the Long Lake site are 310,000,000 bbls.6
Nexen also has an Energy Marketing division that trades and markets proprietary and third-party crude oil, natural gas, liquid natural gas, and electrical power.

Pence, Democrats at odds over health care application
Legislators say Pence botched application
INDIANAPOLIS - Democratic state legislators said Thursday the Pence administration botched its federal application to expand the state's health care program through the existing Healthy Indiana Plan, but the governor said everything is in order.
Democrats said Pence's people messed up by failing to comply with the public notice component of the application to expand the program.
Pence is hoping to use an expanded version of the HIP program, which provides mostly state-funded health care to the working poor, as a substitute for full-scale expansion of the Medicaid program in Indiana under the federal health care law.
Democrats said failing to complete the federal application in time will delay the federal decision on Pence's request, endangering expansion and possibly forcing the legislature into a special session to ratify whatever compromise the state and federal negotiators might reach.
"How do we add 30,000 private-sector health care jobs? How do we make sure people are not seen in emergency rooms that are wildly expensive and extremely chaotic? We need a better health care system," said Minority Leader Scott Pelath. "But when there's all these questions about this potential HIP expansion that can't be resolved in the regular session, we have to ask the question, 'What's the game plan here?'"
But legislative Republicans, including the doctor who chairs the Ways and Means Committee, downplayed such a negative scenario and don't believe a special session would be needed, even if there were a serious delay in the approval process.
"No, not at this time," said Rep. Tim Brown, R-Crawfordsville. "I don't think that we're headed toward a special session. I think we'll be able to work with the law that we have in place. We have in place the ability for the executive branch to do some negotiating with the HIP plan. So I think we'll continue to move forward."
The governor released a response later denying there was any mistake in the application process, although he did refer obliquely to bureaucratic problems in dealing with Washington.
And he said there is no reason to believe the state's application has been jeopardized.
RTV6 attempted to contact the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to determine if the state failed to comply with its deadlines, but has yet to receive a response.

Before we moved on to Italy we hade a gig in Mora Sweden. It was one of those event things.
We arrived to a 20° weather Italy and the summer feeling was back. After a while the guys in Sister showed up. They turned out to be really cool ppl. All three gigs were great and the crowd was even better. Thanx to all that came out to see us.
I played on rented gear. You never know if the company are going to get the amps that you want but I was not disappointed. There were 2 jcm 800 Zakk Wylde 100W heads and 4 cabs waiting for me. You can't go wrong with Marshall.

New AALL Caucus on Consumer Advocacy A group of law librarians has begun the steps to create a Caucus on Consumer Advocacy. The caucus' statement of purpose reads: "Statement of Purpose of New AALL Caucus on Consumer Advocacy Business practices of legal information vendors (LIVs) warrant more vigorous consumer advocacy than our profession has pursued. Our caucus may: (1) recommend or implement improved disclosures of LIV practices that harm consumers or weaken LIV competition; (2) determine if law librarians and their supporters should renew efforts to investigate unfair, or anti-competitive, business practices by LIVs; (3) recommend further investigation to AALL, interested parties (such as library and attorney associations), or government agencies; (4) examine whether voluntary guidelines have provided adequate remedies to unfair, or anticompetitive, business practices by LIVs; (5) propose legal remedies to AALL, interested parties, or government agencies; (6) encourage law librarians to discuss or pursue these options among themselves and attorneys; and (7) partner with all parties seeking stronger consumer protections from unfair, or anti-competitive, business practices of information vendors. Our caucus may also take other actions to advance the strongest consumer advocacy allowed by law. Once AALL approves our caucus application, we will welcome partnerships with other LIS consumers like attorneys, their affiliated associations, and LIS vendors who follow the letter and spirit of the law in their business practices."

On editing & updating standards "What is important about these excerpts (and in my opinion, I don't believe these systems or approaches to be unique to West) is that they get to an underlying issue not being asked of lawyers and legal researchers generally, that is, what do you, the consumer, consider to be a quality update to a legal treatise? It's rare to find lawyers talking about such things, and law librarians had a perfect opportunity to do so at the recent AALL Vendor Colloquium, but instead limited their focus to pricing and subscription models, vendor communications, digital v. print, etc. Honestly, what difference does all of that make if you don't know what standards vendors use to measure the underlying quality of the product?"
The Mendik Library's DRAGNET has won the AALL 2011 Law Library Publications Award, Nonprint Division. The award honors "achievement in creating in-house library materials that are outstanding in quality and significance." DRAGNET (Database Retrieval Access using Google's New Electronic Technology) is a Google Custom Search engine that only looks at 100 highly-recommended free legal databases and web sites. It was developed over the summer of 2010 in a highly collaborative effort with input from all librarians.
From the New York Times: Morris L. Cohen, a book lover who shunned the practice of law because it was too contentious and became one of the nation's most influential legal librarians, bringing both the Harvard and Yale law libraries into the digital age, died Dec. 18 at his home in New Haven. He was 83.
Morris L. Cohen, at the University of Pennsylvania's law library in 1971, went on to be law library director at Harvard and Yale. The cause was leukemia, his wife, Gloria, said.
Mr. Cohen had worked at his Uncle Max's law firm and on his own in Brooklyn in the 1950s before deciding that enough was enough. "He wasn't cut out for practicing law," Mrs. Cohen said. "He was not confrontational."
Instead, he would become director of the law libraries at four universities: the former University of Buffalo, the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard and Yale. He brought to those positions a fascination with legal history — as evidenced in the six-volume Bibliography of Early American Law (1998), which he researched and compiled for 35 years — and with modernizing law libraries. He also brought that fascination to his classes in legal research.

The projects that we can (and should) be collaborating on are new and different and will completely change the way people access their law. As such, they will be met with resistance and suspicion and push-back from commercial vendors and government agents. Presenting a united front and creating a system that benefits from all of our areas of expertise from the beginning will go a long way towards legitimizing our cause. We have one chance to make a first impression, one opportunity to make free law an accepted resource in this generation. Don't mess it up.
If you were designing a law firm today, would you even have a library? I think many, including me, would answer, "Probably not." As long as the Internet exists, information that was in a law library will be available online. So why bother, right?

Great Advice on How to Start Selling Ebooks of Your Webcomic Quickly
- Posted by Johanna on December 4, 2013 at 7:10 pm
- Category: Digital and Webcomics
Ryan Estrada has posted a quick-and-dirty post on how to make an ebook of your webcomic. He covers putting together a PDF or CBZ and setting up a gumroad sales page. Then he goes on to cover why someone might buy work already available free online.
What if you make it and nobody buys it? First of all, waaah. That took like 12 1/2 seconds, total. If even one reader wants an ebook of your work, it's worth the time investment. And let me tell you something: I buy PDFs all the time. I buy PDFs of comics available in their entirety free online all the time.
I'd add that most all comic work is available online already, so providing an option allows you to possibly gather some income, instead of none.

WUSF Listening Post - St. Petersburg
I'm Brad Stager at the St. Petersburg Times Festival of Reading, where people gather for literature and an exchange of ideas.
BLACKBURN: My name is JoAnn Blackburn. I live in East Lake Woodlands in northern Pinellas County. My party affiliation? When I lived up north, it was Republican, but down here I've become a Democrat. And I've really have watched both the senatorial debates and the governor debates and I liked the things Jim Davis had to say, especially about the FCAT. As a diagnostic tool, I think that's very important. I think it's been much too harsh for students and schools to be judged on this one test every year.
CARRINGTON: Barbara Carrington, Clearwater, and a registered Republican for the second year. I came from Massachusetts, a Democratic state, but changed my party. I'm concerned about the taxes, so I'm watching those races very carefully. I went to buy a house, and could afford the house, and the taxes that were listed on the sheet were $1,500 and when I went to buy it they were $8,000. So, I'm stuck. So that's a very, very important thing.

"Great alarm clock so far"
I haven't been using it long so I haven't played with all the settings, but it was easy to set up with several different alarms & different sounds. I like having an analog clock face on my desktop. Has simple instructions for memory-saving settings.
Alarm message box is not pretty, but I don't know if there's a setting to change that. That's not a big complaint. No other problems with it.

Happiness is…Grooving to the Beat ala Michael Jackson
July 31, 2009 by Michael Wayne
Filed under Happiness
You may not have noticed, but we here at the Low Density Lifestyle website have restrained from mentioning Michael Jackson's name since his untimely death.
We didn't want to be seen as capitalizing on the sensational nature of the news, which is what every media outlet has done around the world.
But our crack research staff has informed us that we are the only website in the world that has yet to mention his name, and so, because we are feeling the pressure, this article does indeed mention his name.
But we are referencing Michael Jackson's name only within the context of the Happiness series, and especially the Happiness is… theme that I've been writing about this week.
Michael Jackson's music at the peak of his career – in the 1980's – was infectious, riveting and joyous, and it could get you moving in no time, even if you were someone allergic to movement and dancing.
And once you felt the infectious beat, you couldn't help but feel happy.
And so, to finish the week's theme of Happiness is… you'll get to watch some videos that are fun, unique and a salute to Michael Jackson.
The above video is a young Steve Martin dancing to Billie Jean. This video comes from a TV show that Steve Martin was part of.
Steve Martin has been creating happiness for so many people for so long, that it seems a good combination: Michael Jackson's song and Steve Martin dancing.
And the below video is pretty wild: it's inmates in a prison in the Philippines dancing to Thriller. I'll bet they were pretty happy to be able to pull off such a feat.
And there's one bonus video, thrown in for good measure. Below the prisoners singing Thriller is one of my favorites, Weird Al Yankovic, performing Eat It, his gentle spoof of Michael Jackson's hit, Beat It.
So get into it, let the beat move you, and see if you agree that Happiness is…Grooving to the Beat ala Michael Jackson.
One last note: if you read our Summer Hours, you'll know that for the summer we are publishing articles one less day a week, 4 days instead of our usual 5 days. So we'll see you again with the next article on Tuesday.
Happiness is…Having a Happy and Joyous Wedding Celebration
July 30, 2009 by Michael Wayne
Filed under Happiness, Love, Relationships
In the last couple of days in this Happiness series, I've been regaling you with tales of Happiness is…
You've learned during these few days that Happiness is…Letting the Sun Shine In; Happiness is…Being Happy Like a Baby; and Happiness is…Being Happy Like a Happy Pet.
Today I will turn my attention to that most complex realm, one that is chock full of many challenges – the realm of relationships.
Happiness is…when you are in a loving relationship with a partner, a relationship that fills you with joy all the way down deep into your soul.
Now imagine if a relationship like this decides to make the ultimate commitment – marriage – and decides to turn the wedding day into a fabulous demonstration of happiness and joy.
That my friends is what the above video is all about, which is why I call this article, Happiness is…Having a Happy and Joyous Wedding.
Set in the church they will get married in, this couple began their ceremony with one of the most happiest and joyous starts to a wedding.
I'll bet this couple is going to have a long and very happy marriage and life together, because they are having so much fun and exuding so much good spirit at their ceremony.
So watch the video and see if you agree with me that happiness can indeed be a happy and joyous wedding.
The bottom line, as I've been saying all along during this series on Happiness, is to let your innate happiness and joy, which is something we all have an infinite supply of, find its way to the top, and then let it shine through.
And when you do so, you too will be living a Low Density Lifestyle.
Happiness is…Being Happy Like a Happy Pet
July 29, 2009 by Michael Wayne
Filed under Happiness
I continue with the Happiness is… theme as part of the Happiness series.
Yesterday you read about Happiness is…Being Happy Like a Baby. Today you will learn the joys of being a happy animal/pet, and what we can learn from our fine furry friends.
Animals, like babies, enjoy the simple things in life, and can find joy in these things.
Which is why pet owners become so close and attached to their pet – the pets are such beacons of happiness and joy, and for the pet owner, the happiness and joy that the pet expresses rubs off on the owner.
So watch the video above, and see Jessica, the wild hippo who has become a household pet, and is incredibly happy living that existence. She is one very happy – and unique – hippo.
And in the videos below, you'll see a number of happy animals.
There's the dog in the sliding pool; the dancing chicken; the dancing chipmunk; and the rat and cat who are very happy together in each others company.
Happiness is…Being Happy Like a Baby

I've been writing the series on Happiness for a few weeks now, and I will continue all this week with articles titled Happiness is…
For example, the last article started this theme, and was called Happiness is…Letting the Sun Shine In. In the article was a video of a beautifully done, updated version of the classic song Let the Sunshine In from the musical Hair.
Today's article, Happiness is…Being Happy Like a Baby, is guaranteed to make you smile – and make you feel happy. It's a bunch of babies having a joyful time. Hopefully it will remind you to channel your own inner joy.
Because when you do so, you're more capable of living a Low Density Lifestyle.
As a bonus, below is a video that appeared on the Low Density Lifestyle website not too long ago, of joyfully laughing babies. Even if you saw it before, it'll get you feeling happy and glad all over.
Babies are quite in touch with their inner happiness and joy, but they don't have a monopoly on this. No matter how far removed you are from babyhood, you have it in you at all times, in all places.
And don't forget that. Ever.

Whenever you feel blue, whenever you're down, whenever you're unhappy, there's a way to turn that into happiness again and again and again.
You've got to Let the Sunshine In.
Watch the above video and sing along and see if doesn't lift your spirits. If it doesn't, watch it again, and make sure you Let the Sunshine In.
And you know where that song comes from, right?
From the 1968 classical musical, Hair.

Unhappy at Work? Top 10 Excuses People Make for Staying at their Job
July 23, 2009 by Michael Wayne
Filed under Happiness
For the last few weeks, I've been writing about Happiness, and for the last few days I've been talking about Happiness and Work.
I've said that one of the keys to happiness is working in a job you like, or better yet, having an occupation that is an expression of who you are.
But many folks aren't sure what it is that makes them happy, and are stuck at jobs they don't like.
When you're at a job that is making you unhappy, many people internalize that they should quit, but they don't do it.
And why is that?
If happiness is so crucial to living a Low Density Lifestyle, and being happy at the job you have is an integral part of happiness, then why don't you quit if your job is making you unhappy?
Even if you long desperately to quit, to get away from your horrible workplace, annoying co-workers or abusive managers, you may hesitate to actually do anything about it, because right on the heels of that impulse come a lot of other thoughts that hold you back from quitting.
And a lot of the thoughts are fear based.
Each of these excuses may sound to you like the voice of sanity, offering perfectly good reasons why it is in fact better to stay and endure that bad job just a little longer.
But those excuses keep you trapped in a job that is slowly but surely wearing you down and cementing your existence in a High Density Lifestyle.
And so, here are 10 of the most common excuses for staying in a bad job.
1. Things might get better.
That jerk manager might be promoted out of there. That annoying co-worker could quit.That mound of overwork could suddenly disappear.
On the other hand, things might also get worse. Or they might not change at all. If you've already done your best to improve your job situations and nothing has happened, just waiting around for things to improve by themselves make little sense.
2. My boss is such a jerk but if I quit now, he wins.
Who cares. This is not about winning or losing, this is your life. Move on, already.
3. I'm not a quitter.
Guess what these somewhat successful people have in common: Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Tiger Woods, Reese Witherspoon, John McEnroe and John Steinbeck?
They all dropped out of Stanford.
The old saying that "Winners never quit and quitters never win" is just plain wrong and leaving a bad job is just common sense.
4. I'll never get another job.
Well not if you stay in your current job while it slowly grinds you down, you won't. Move on now while you still have some self-confidence, motivation and energy left.
5. If I quit I'll lose my salary, status, company car, the recognition of my peers, etc.
Yes, quitting a job carries a price and that makes it scary. We all know this intimately.
But few of us ask this question: What is the price of staying in a job that makes you unhappy?
That price can be very high. It can not only ruin your work life but also your marriage, your family life, your health, your self-esteem and your sanity. Not all at once, but a little bit every day.
6. Everywhere else is just as bad.
That's just nonsense. There are plenty of great workplaces in every industry.
7. I've invested so much in this job already.
You may have sacrificed a lot of time, energy and dignity already in attempts to make things better. This will make it more difficult for you to call it quits.
This is similar to how the Nigerian email scammers sucker people in. At first it's a small investment, but then the amounts grow and grow. At each step the victim is reluctant to stop because that would mean losing all the money they've spent so far.
Quit anyway. Staying on is just throwing good time after bad.
8. I'll lose my health insurance.
Ok, so start looking for another job with similar health benefits.
Also, ask yourself: What good is job related health insurance if your job is actually making your sick – which bad jobs can absolutely do.
9. My job pays very well.
Here's the plain truth and the stark reality: it doesn't matter how well your job pays – if it makes you unhappy it's not worth it.
And if you make a lot of money now, use that financial security to quit and find a job that'll make you happy.
10. Quitting will look bad on my CV.
Whereas staying for years in a job that grinds you down and goes nowhere will look excellent.
Most people would be much happier if they quit bad jobs sooner, and for those who have done it they usually say that they wish they had done it much, much sooner.
Work and Feeding the Soul as a Path to Happiness: What Poets Tell Us
July 22, 2009 by Michael Wayne
Filed under Happiness
In yesterday's article I discussed Happiness and Your Job.
In that article was an excellent quote from Academy Award winning editor and sound designer Walter Murch, who discussed happiness in regards to work.
Murch said how the key to finding happiness in the work you do is to remember the thing that gave you the most happiness when you were between ages 9 and 11, and to do something that is a reflection of that thing.
When we were younger, our innate happiness and joy easily rose to the surface, and we effortlessly did those things that brought us joy. But over the years, as time goes by, we become more cultured and self-conscious and we get away from that.
We then forget that our soul's yearning for deep happiness is rooted in doing things that feed and nourish the soul.
In other words, we are happiest when we do work that is an expression of who we truly are.
To understand who we truly are requires reaching in and touching the poetic nature of the soul.
Poets have the ability to write about the soul's yearnings in a lyrical way that can reach in and resonate with the soul's poetic desires.
What can we learn from poets about this? Let's take a look:
In the middle of the road of my life
I awoke in a dark wood
Where the true way was wholly lost.
Pablo Neruda:
I didn't know what to say, my mouth
could not speak,
my eyes could not see
and something ignited in my soul,
fever or unremembered wings
and I went my own way,
deciphering that burning fire
and I wrote the first bare line,
bare, without substance, pure
pure wisdom
of one who knows nothing,
and suddenly I saw
the heavens
unfastened and open.
David Whyte:
the blades flash
lifting veils of spray as the bow rears
terrified then falls
with five miles to go
of open ocean
the eyes pierce the horizon
the kayak pulls round
like a pony held by unseen reins
shying out of the ocean
and the spark behind fear
recognized as life
leaps into flame
Always this energy smoulders inside
when it remains unlit
the body fills with dense smoke.
William Blake:
I went to the Garden of Love
And saw what I never had seen:
A chapel was built in the midst,
where I used to play on the green.
And the gates of this chapel were shut,
And 'Thou shalt not' writ over the door;
So I turned to this Garden of Love,
That so many sweet flowers bore.
And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tomb-stones where flowers should be,
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds
and binding with briars my joys and desires.
William Blake:
So he took his wings and fled;
Then the morn blushed rosy red;
I dried my tears and armed my fears
With ten thousand shields and spears.
Soon my angel came again;
I was arm'd, he came in vain;
For the time of youth was fled
And grey hairs were on my head.
Antonio Machado:
Last night, as I was sleeping,
I dreamt–marvelous error!–
that there was a fiery sun here in my heart
It was fiery because it gave warmth
as if from a hearth
and it was sun because it gave light
and brought tears to my eyes.
Rainer Maria Rilke:
I want to be with those who know secret things
or else alone.
T. S. Eliot:
I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope,
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing: wait
for love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet
But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the
Derek Walcott:
The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was yourself.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.
Antonio Machado:
Last night, as I was sleeping
I dreamt–marvelous error!–
that I had a beehive
here inside my heart.
And the golden bees
were making white combs
and sweet honey
from my old failures.
Happiness and Your Job
July 21, 2009 by Michael Wayne
Filed under Happiness
In the last article on this series on Happiness, you learned about a happy workplace where people like to sing.
But some of you may not have that type of workplace/job. In fact you may have a job that leaves you feeling rather unhappy.
Unless you have won the lottery, were born wealthy, are independently wealthy, or have a means of income that allows you to live a life of luxury, you have to work.
And that means having a job.
Now some have their own business, but even then it's a job.
And a job is something that you have for your entire life. It will probably be a few jobs over your life, and it may even be your own business for all or some of your working life.
So since a job is something that you will spend a gazillion hours of your life at, and it is also something that is central to your life – after all, a job = money – doesn't it make sense that your job should bring you happiness?
After all, if your job doesn't bring you happiness, or at least a modicum of happiness, then what good is it? Life is too short to spend most of your waking hours at something that is drudgery and that you have a sense of dread about.
Doesn't it make sense to do something you really enjoy? That's a sure recipe for happiness and living a Low Density Lifestyle.
That being said, I'd like you to heed the words of Walter Murch, an Academy Award-winning film editor and sound designer.
In Murch's book, The Conversations: Walter Murch and the Art of Editing Film, he discusses how to choose the work that makes you happiest.
Here's what he had to say:
"As I've gone through life, I've found that your chances for happiness are increased if you wind up doing something that is a reflection of what you loved most when you were somewhere between nine and eleven years old…
"At that age, you know enough of the world to have opinions about things, but you're not old enough yet to be overly influenced by the crowd or by what other people are doing or what you think you 'should' be doing.
"If what you do later on ties into that reservoir in some way, then you are nurturing some essential part of yourself. It's certainly been true in my case. I'm doing now, at fifty-eight, almost exactly what most excited me when I was eleven.
"But I went through a whole late-adolescent phase when I thought: Splicing sounds together can't be a real occupation, maybe I should be a geologist or teach art history."
What great advice from someone who speaks from experience.
My advice to you is to take it to heart.
Now That's One Happy Workplace!
July 17, 2009 by Michael Wayne
Filed under Happiness
In this series on Happiness, in which I've talked about 2 of the happiest countries on earth – Bhutan and Iceland – and gave you 7 ways to cultivate your innate happiness, one thing I haven't touched on yet is the place where most people spend many hours a day.
It's called The Job.
If you're like most people, you work at a J-O-B, and it's not always a happy place.
There's people grumbling, bitching, moaning, groaning and just plain being snippy.
Of course, there's also the good days when people are feeling good and having a good time.
But imagine if your workplace was such a happy environment that people occasionally broke out in song!
That's what happening in the above video. Watch it and enjoy the happy workplace having fun and enjoying themselves.
The workplace is a company called Connected Ventures, and the song is Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger.
This might not be your song of choice. If it's not, decide what song you will bring into the workplace and then start getting everyone to join in and sing.
That's right – make your workplace a happy one.
And if you decide to video it, send me the video and I'll be glad to post it up here on the Low Density Lifestyle site.
Because you then will be working in a Low Density Lifestyle environment and it'll be worth sharing to everyone.

7 Ways to Be Happier
July 16, 2009 by Michael Wayne
Filed under Happiness
I've been writing about happiness for the last 2 weeks. The happier you are, the more of a Low Density Lifestyle will you live, so it's important to look at happiness and understand it better.
By dong this, we can all get to know better what it takes to be happier.
Actually, deep down in all of us lies a deep reservoir of happiness. It's just that it gets buried so far down, and under so much internal stuff, that we lose sight of it.
One of the things that we need to know is that happiness shouldn't depend on someone else – it should come from within, from that deep reservoir. It just has to be encouraged to express itself effortlessly.
It's a matter of lightening the load, of feeling less dense and heavy, and of living a Low Density Lifestyle.
If you read yesterday's article and saw the video about the people of Iceland, you will know that they know how to take unhappy situations and failure and turn it into happiness.
To do so, it's a matter of cultivating your own ability to look at the situation and see it with a perspective that says, "Hey it's only castles burning."
So, in that spirit, I offer you 7 tips on how to feed and cultivate your innate happiness, so that it can blossom and bloom and come to the surface.
1. Don't take yourself too seriously. At times of hardship, such as loss or illness, we can easily lose our humor, and even more easily get very involved with the negative aspects of what is happening. We become the center of our universe. Remembering not to take ourselves too seriously brings a lightness and ease to the weight of circumstance around us. Remember–angels can fly because they take themselves lightly!
2. Don't identify with suffering, loss, or illness, as being who you are. Many people identify themselves as a cancer survivor / widow / recovering addict, or whatever it may be, but do not ask themselves who they are without that label or identity. When we do not identify with the negative label, then the positive sense of who we are has a chance to emerge and shine.
3. It's OK to be you, just as you are, warts and all. We may think we are imperfect, a mess, falling apart, hopeless, or unable to cope. But true perfection is really just accepting our imperfections. It is honoring ourselves, complete with all the things we like and the things we don't like. In this way we are not struggling with or rejecting any part of ourselves. Each one of us is unique, a one-time offer, but we cannot know it if we are facing away from ourselves.
4. Make friends with yourself. Our relationship with ourselves is the only one we will have for the whole of our lives, and we can be the greatest friend to ourselves. So it is very important not to put ourselves down or beat ourselves up.
5. Feel everything, whatever it may be. When we are suffering, our feelings get huge and can be overwhelming. It is easy to want to deny or repress them. But if we can really honor whatever we are feeling, then it will bring us closer to the happiness beneath the suffering or grief. Acknowledging our real feelings is the greatest gift.
6. Forgive yourself. Love yourself. Treasure yourself. These are big steps, but each one liberates the heart and sets us free. We need to forgive ourselves for feeling angry, for getting upset, for all things we think we have done wrong. They are in the past and we are not who we were then. We can then begin to embrace and love ourselves, for we are so worthy of that love. And then we can take any resistance or fear by the hand, invite it in, and open our heart to the universe.
7. Meditate. There is an overwhelming amount of research showing how meditation changes the circuits in the part of the brain associated with contentment and happiness and stimulates the 'feel-good' factor. Meditating on love and kindness makes us much, much happier! And the only way to know this is to try it!!
Ok? If you put this into action, you can cultivate your own innate happiness and feel lighter of body, mind and spirit.
You then won't have to move to Bhutan and Iceland – the 2 happiest countries on earth – to feel more happier (unless of course you really like those 2 countries).
Instead you can just be where you are, at any time, at any place, and just be happy.
