Nathan Isgur, 1947-2001
Nathan Isgur, one of Canada's leading theoretical physicists, died on July 24th 2001 at Williamsburg,VA. Nathan lost his struggle with multiple myeloma, a rare Cancer of the bone marrow.
Nathan was born on May 25, 1947 in South Houston, TX and finished in high school there. He studied next at Caltech, where he graduated with a B.S.c degree in 1968. This was the period of the Vietnam War and Nathan chose to come to Toronto for his graduate studies to avoid the draft; he had a letter of introduction from Owen Chamberlain (at Berkeley) to R.E.Pugh, at the University of Toronto, who took him on as a graduate student. Nathan received a Ph.D. degree in particle theory from Toronto in 1974. Meanwhile, Nathan's passport had expired and he couldn't travel outside Canada until 1977 when President Carter issued a pardon to Americans who evaded the draft.
With an NSERC Fellowship, Nathan was allowed to stay at Toronto as a post-doc. By 1976 the Physics Department, under the leadership of Robin Armstrong, recognized Nathan's outstanding merit and hired him as an assistant professor, even though Nathan had no experience outside the Department. Nathan had started to publish immediately after his doctorate, and his first remarkable publication was in 1975 on the mixing angle of pseudo-scalar mesons due to annihilation into gluons (his explanation is standard now). Shortly thereafter, Nathan and one of us (GK) embarked on a long collaboration, involving the study of excited baryons in quark models. This was a good time to work on the subject, and although Nathan had no prior experience in the subject, his physical intuition, hard work and sheer determination made the project very successful. The principal physical idea of the model was taken from QCD: the forces between quarks are flavour-independent. This "QCD-improved" quark model for baryons still remains the benchmark for theoretical and experimental work. Nathan was an ideal collaborator, working out everything with tremendous enthusiasm, and being equally good at generating brilliant ideas and doing laborious calculations.
He had a large group of graduate students, usually 5-6 at a given time. During Nathan's stay on the faculty at Toronto (14 years), he mentored 13 Ph.D.'s, most of whom are now doing research at Canadian and U.S. campuses. These are: S. Capstick, K. Dooley, P. Geiger, S. Godfrey, G. Grondin, R. Kokoski, R. Koniuk, D. Kotchan, K. Maltman, C. Morningstar, C. Reader, E. Swanson and J. Weinstein.
The most important research conducted later by Nathan was in collaboration with Mark Wise, who had been an under-graduate student in Nathan's classes at Toronto. Mark was by now on the Faculty at Caltech. Isgur and Wise studied the semileptonic decays of mesons with a charm or beauty quark and they discovered what is now known as the heavy quark symmetry of QCD. This symmetry, which becomes exact for infinitely heavy quarks, leads to important simplifications of form-factors in such decays. This work was strongly acclaimed and led to Isgur and Wise receiving the Sakurai prize of the APS in the year 2001, jointly with M. Voloshin.
During this very productive period at Toronto, Nathan was also teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, running seminars, and organizing canoe trips. Nathan was a superb teacher at all levels: One of us (PS) still remembers vividly Nathan's infectious enthusiasm and laconic style when lecturing to first-year undergraduates. He would stand up in front of the class and devote most of his time to explaining and discussing the physics of a particular problem, waving his finger up and down to mimic an accelerating electric charge or dashing across the lecture room when illustrating the effects of special relativity. He hosted annual picnics and Raclette parties at Toronto's Centre Island, to which he invited what seemed to be the entire particle physics group at Toronto. For many students, Nathan became the inspiration for why one should study physics, and the role model for how one could contribute.
Among the activities at Toronto, two Conferences organized in part by Nathan are memorable. One was the Baryon Conference (1980) in Toronto and the other was the Advanced Study Institute on Quark Interactions at Whitehorse, Yukon (1984). The latter was especially great fun for the participants. These meetings brought together many influential researchers in "quark physics" and were useful in the development of light and heavy quark spectroscopy.
Nathan interacted a great deal with experimentalists. Nathan was one of the leaders of the CHEER project – this envisaged an electron ring to be built at Fermilab by a Canadian group to study electron-proton collisions. Although CHEER was not funded – in favor of the Tevatron proton antiproton collider – the project led to a strong Canadian involvement in the ZEUS experiment at the HERA electron-proton collider in Hamburg, Germany. Canada contributed significantly to the construction of both the HERA collider and the ZEUS detector, in large measure because of the intellectual excitement that Nathan generated in pursuit of CHEER.
Nathan was also involved later on in several Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council grant selection committees (GSC), eventually becoming the Chair of the Subatomic Physics GSC in the early 1990's. He was influential in changing the manner in which nuclear and particle physics was funded in Canada, helping to bring in an "envelope" system of funding for subatomic physics. Nathan also took a strong interest in TRIUMF, now Canada's premiere particle and nuclear physics. Nathan became one of the clear leaders in Canadian physics, eventually adopting this country by taking out Canadian citizenship.
Nevertheless, Nathan was lured back to the USA by the newly built accelerator at Newport News (CEBAF), which eventually became Jefferson Lab (JLab). The attraction was the opportunity to build an entirely new Theory Group and influence the experimental research of the Laboratory. Nathan accepted the offer to become the head of Theory at JLab in 1990 and eventually became the JLab's Chief Scientist in 1996. Nathan took with him those Toronto graduate students who had not quite finished their projects, and they all finished their degrees at Newport News. With his move to JLab, Nathan ceased to do undergraduate and graduate teaching, although he joined the Faculty at William and Mary College at Williamsburg.
At JLab, in addition to being Head of the Theory Group, Nathan was involved in the direction of the experimental program and also was directing the liaison with southeastern universities in the USA. This work led to 62 appointments to the Physics Faculties in this area, through joint and bridged positions. Nathan also encouraged Canadian work at JLab, and groups from the University of Regina and University of Manitoba now play key roles on various JLab experiments.
Nathan was devoted to his family. While in Canada, he married Karin Bergsagel, with whom he had two sons, Bram and Ben. By chance, his father in-law, an oncologist at Princess Margaret's Hospital in Toronto, is a world expert on multiple myeloma, the illness Nathan was diagnosed with in 1996.
During his last four years Nathan published extensively, mainly as a single author, trying to record his thoughts on hadron physics. This was in addition to his duties at the Lab, and the rigors of his medical treatment. Nathan continued to be the intellectual centre of the Jefferson Lab until shortly before his death. His determination was heroic.
Nathan's achievements in physics have been recognized through large number of honours both in Canada and the United States. Nathan was a recipient of the Herzberg Prize (CAP), the Steacie Fellowship and Prize (NSERC), the Rutherford Medal in Physics (RSC), and the Sakurai Prize (APS). Nathan was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and a Fellow of the American Physical Society. The Southern Universities Research Association held a special ceremony of recognition for Nathan in December 1999. Nathan was an invited speaker at numerous conferences and universities throughout the world.
Canada has lost one of its great physicists and teachers.

Leung Chun-ying says public need time to understand HKTV decision
Chief executive downplays plummeting poll numbers, as consultant says government twisted her reports to justify HKTV decision
Tanna Chong email@example.com
Leung Chun-ying yesterday sought to downplay the impact on his governance of the massive protests over television licensing and his administration's resulting plunge in popularity.
The chief executive said licensing was a complex issue that the public would take time to understand.
Leung was speaking a day after the latest University of Hong Kong poll showed public approval of the government plunged to a 20-year low in the first half of this month.
"We should not read too far into the comments made in the lengthy process of television licence vetting," he said. "[Licensing] is a very complex issue that will take citizens time to understand … Because of the Executive Council's [confidentiality] system we cannot talk too much."
Leung was responding to a question at a Newspaper Society lunch about the impact of the issue on his governance amid fresh controversy over accusations by a consultant that the government was misusing her reports to justify denying Hong Kong Television Network (HKTV) a free-to-air licence.
Jenny Ng Pui-ying, managing partner of Value Partners Asia, said on Thursday that the government had been quoting her company's reports "out of context".
Ng, whose company wrote four reports on the licensing issue, also said she regretted the decision to issue only two licences instead of three.
Leung did not react directly to the consultant's comments, but said "the government's exact wordings should be quoted".
"I didn't hear [the consultant's] exact wordings," said Leung. "But on this relatively complex issue, any comments made about the government should be based on our original wordings and context, instead of quoting the sayings of legislators who have had meetings with officials."
The chief executive refused to answer further questions on how to make sense of the government's "exact wordings and context".
He also brushed off questions about critical public sentiment, saying: "All indices should be taken as reference."
The poll results showed the public sentiment index towards the government had dropped below 60 - to 58.3 - on a 200-point scale for the first time since the university's Public Opinion Programme began collecting the figures in 1992.
Speaking about government intervention, Leung singled out the free-to-air television industry as a market which required "appropriate intervention".
The controversial decision to award licences to subsidiaries of TVB and iCable has continued to ferment since its announcement on October 15, which led to an estimated 80,000 protesters rallying outside government headquarters .

Neat Catch22. The government says nothing of any relevance - so, no one can comment. Nice one CY!
I have to say I have a real problem understanding many of them.

Loon Mountain opens for skiing Friday
The resort will be open Saturday and Sunday, closed on Veterans Day, and then will reopen for the season on Friday, Nov. 15.
During the off-season Loon made improvements to the tune of $1.3 million, which included 100 new semi-automated snowmaking hydrants and 29 new high-efficiency low-energy tower guns. Loon also boosted its snowmaking water capacity by over 40 percent by installing two new pumps.
"The new snowmaking hydrants reduce snowmaking startup/shutdown times on key snowmaking trails by 75 percent," said Kwasnik. "This allows us more flexibility in making snow during short cold-weather windows. In the past, we'd have to wait for a 12-hour window of cold weather to make snow; with these easy-on, easy-off hydrants, our snowmakers can now fire up the guns during a six-hour window."

Camping Mas Patoxas: Bit of a fast food joint.
The Camping Mas Patoxas has all the necessary services available. The friendly reception and its 'I' point provide all the useful information of the camping itself, the region and its places of interest you could wish for. There is also a large bar-restaurant with terraces, an ice-cream parlour and a handy take-away and pizzeria for those times you don't want to cook.
The restaurant is comprise of a lounge with full service bar, a patio with good views at the swimming pool while you enjoy a selection from their appetizer and beverage menus. We found out that the restaurant offers some tapas, Spanish and European food. To us it was more a bit of a fast food restaurant where the food was cheap, convenient, filling, and some tasted good. Not really a highlight, but what to expect?- Beer Tasting

Empordanet: Typical tapas dishes.
There's nothing more synonymous with Spanish cuisine than tapas, the tradition of eating small dishes as an appetizer, snack or in combination to form a main meal of the day. The latter has become a growing trend worldwide in recent decades, and that should come as no surprise to food-lovers: after all what could be better than mixing and matching all the glorious taste sensations of Spain for supper?
After our visit to the Gothic Quarter with its beautiful church Esglesia de Sant Pere and amazing Josep Pla Viewpoint we enden up at the Plaça Major. It was definitely time for a refreshment and maybe even some tapas. We found the typical tapas dishes at the Café Empordanet. We just sat down, enjoyed the weatherand looked up to the beautiful facades of the surrounding buildings and enjoyed the vibrance of this beautiful spot.
Favorite Dish: We (especially the childeren) enjoyed the Calamares. To the uncultured eater, calamares resemble onion rings, but are in fact circles of squid in batter. We ate them and thought they were chewy but delicious, and best to go with a squeeze of lemon.- Wine Tasting

Camping Mas Patoxas: No restaurant can top this!
Making your own food at the campsite is simply a great way to spend time with friends and family, to entertain and to simply enjoy your background. Having a so called "meal at home" is becoming increasingly popular and the eating out is decreasing, probably a budget thing. But anyway, it brings your cooking outside – so you don't have to miss out on the fun while still preparing a tasty and memorable meal.
I guess that making your own meal has numerous regional variations in many parts of the world. We like to stay outside, have a cold beer or good wine and communicate with each other while one is putting the meat on the gas cooker and enjoy each other's company. This time being together is quite priceless and therefore we had a few meals of our own during our stay in Pals. The surrounding was beautiful at the patio of our mobile home, the sun going down behind the mountains and the amazing Pyrenees in the background. No restaurant in the vicinity could top that! At the local shops we bought some fine pasta, meat and fish and (of course) the necessary beer and wine.- Beer Tasting

Sa Marina: Excellent, a nice experience. Not to be missed
It was a nice experience. Every thing its clean, the foods are fresh and the cook is superb.
The staff its very friendly and helpful, there is a special and cheap menu for kids. Excellent value for money, the wine list its good and not expensive. Many people say its the best restaurant of area.
Favorite Dish: My favorite dish was the Samarina salade with honey sauce and the duck with pears.
For my wife was the salad with two different types of melted goat cheese with Jabugo jam and the fillet with the special sauce of five types of pepper. -
Sa Marina: Barbaque/Grill
Nice clean place, we ate Al fresco and this wasn't to exciting as there was a road just off the pavement.
The staff where friendly and helpful, fetching high chairs and extra seat's to put a carry cot onto.
Favorite Dish: Local Ham and Melon /Home made Gazpacho soup for starters then Steak cooked as requested with Potatoes and Veg, Catalan cream for dessert. -
Bar El Pedro: Exquisite dining experience. NOT TO BE MISSED.
If the amazing Hilltop village of Pals wasn't enough to entice you, there is one location that just cannot be overlooked. The restaurant is situated near the top of the Old Town, where window boxes of all descriptions overhang the meandering cobbled and arched pathway leading you towards the exquisitely quaint 'Bar El Pedro'.
My family and I booked for 7:30pm, just as dusk was falling. The ambience was set by the pleasant nature of your hosts which is self evident as soon as you enter and are pleasantly guided towards your dining experience. One of the things that impressed us the most was no matter how much you were to spend, the same service and attention is dedicated to each customer. Through into the left and right segments is where the locals can be found enjoying the sumptuous cuisine, which is always a good sign if you ask me! The restaurant is rather exclusive so booking is a must, yet although being so does not reflect in the excellent value for money. Family of four - 2 Adults & 2 Children aged 10 & 12 enjoying 2 starters 4 main courses, 4 deserts, 1 bottle of red wine and a couple of cheeky ports Oh! And their cheese selection is really varied. Local produce too. Anyway, that bounty cost us no more than 90 Euros....... I know, superb just try it for yourselves. We hope you make some memories, I know we have.

Kate Winslet and Ned Rocknroll Catch Book of Mormon Fever in London
Newlyweds Kate Winslet and Ned Rocknroll joined a slew of British stars when they attended the London premiere of Book of Mormon last night. The couple skipped the red carpet but were spotted leaving the theater hand in hand. Plenty of celebrities did walk the red carpet, including Homeland's Damian Lewis, Rufus Sewell, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Downton Abbey stars Elizabeth McGovern, Sophie McShera, and Laura Carmichael. These stars aren't the only celebrities who are fans of the hit musical — last week Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake saw Book of Mormon on Broadway in NYC.

TBH I was waiting for that match to end. It only got good towards the end.
It had it's good and bad points. Although some parts had me cringing, just like the WWE :)

Do you believe you can survive on little sleep and be productive at work? The study of neuroscience could provide the answer.
In this week's video, FT business education editor Della Bradshaw talks to neuroscientist Tara Swart who explains the growing demand of the discipline in business schools.
Ms Swart says the subject has an appeal because brain-scanning techniques give tangible data which executives can analyse and act on. She reveals that the data shows there is a connection between brain function, physical well-being and workplace productivity.

Canucks lose game 1 to the Sharks 3-1.
Raffi on Corrado. SMACK. It was that kind of night.
It started out well, but went downhill fast in the third. The Canucks struck first, but gave up three straight goals in a 3-1 loss Wednesday night in Game 1.
After a scoreless first period in which San Jose outshot Vancouver 15-9, the Canucks got on the board at 12:26 of the second. Dan Boyle snapped a tie at 9:17 of the third period and Patrick Marleau added insurance less than 5 1/2 minutes
Canucks Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin combined for only four shots on goal. Alex Edler led the club with five.

I'm on vacation right now, but I had to come out of hiding for this one. HR 810 passed in the senate today, 63-37. That was enough to meet the 60 vote mark for passage, but it won't be enough (four votes short) to override the presidential veto that Bush is still promising. The future of stem cell research in America still very much hangs in the balance.

Rendezvous Stafford hotel, Sydney, Australia: review
75 Harrington Street, The Rocks, NSW 2000Show on map
Rendezvous Stafford, in Australia, is a Sydney hotel offering spacious interiors, friendly staff and an idyllic Sydney Harbour setting.
Expert Rating
Mark Chipperfield has been a journalist and travel writer for over 20 years. He moved to Adelaide two years ago to edit a magazine in the Barossa Valley and has since explored many parts of South Australia. In his spare time, Mark writes a blog, Beer Airways, about craft beer, food and travel.
Who goes?
Well-heeled international visitors (mostly middle-aged), a few interstate business types and regular guests visiting from the provinces.
Just two minutes' walk from Circular Quay and almost under the shadow of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, it is hard to imagine a more idyllic setting. Galleries, cafes and restaurants on the doorstep.
The hotel is a mishmash of architectural styles. The main section dates from the 1980s and the décor reflects this heritage. But the property includes a number of restored Georgian terrace houses.
The hotel is professionally run, with a 24-hour concierge service.
Choose from spacious studios, one-bedroom apartments or a small collection of Georgian terrace houses. The one-bedroom apartments are more contemporary in design. Guest rooms have small kitchens, mini bar and tea and coffee making facilities. Rooms on the top three floors all have harbour views – ask for one with a balcony.
Food and drink
The hotel does not operate a restaurant, but does offer a breakfast service in the poolside lounge.
Value for money
The Rendezvous scores points for location, size of rooms and overall friendliness but without the price-tag of a five star establishment.
Access for guests with disabilities?
None – this is a historic precinct.
Yes. The spacious, low-maintenance rooms make this hotel ideal for people traveling with families.
Address 75 Harrington Street, The Rocks, NSW 2000

Product description
This play ran at the National Theatre, London, throughout 1978 and the New York production in the autumn of 1982 was equally well received. In counterpointing the experiences of an Englishwoman helping the French Resistance during the war with her life in the following twenty years, the author offers a unique view of postwar history, as well as making a powerful statement about changing values and the collapse of ideals embodied in a single life. Plenty is also a major film produced by Edward R. Pressman and Joseph Papp with Mark Seiler as Executive Producer, and directed by Fred Schepisi from a screenplay by David Hare. The cast, headed by double Oscar-winner Meryl Streep, includes Charles Dance, Tracy Ullman, John Gielgud, Sting, Ian McKellen and Sam Neill.

Reviewer: robert mills from san diego, CA United States
very complex to operate. slowly getting used to how to operate and use the menu. having trouble setting the squelch and also using the lock out function key, yes as the simple manual say's you need a quick hand.reception with the stock antenna is more adequate for my location. I satisfied with the scanner and with more use I will become more familiar with all it's operational capabilities.

Reviewer: Warren Hardman from Lochbuie, CO United States
Better than expected! Works great and Scanner Master programming was right on.
The only negative is the lack of a printed manual. I tried the cd and had no luck with it.

For Beginner?
August 17, 2013
Reviewer: Randy Carothers from Rockwall, TX United States
First of all I have zero back ground in scanners. I wanted a simple scanner however needed a trunked and digital one for my area. Simple and trunked digital appear to be mutually exclusive terms since I guess these are pretty much state of the art at his point. On kind of a "hope" I decided to go ahead and let Scanner Master program the 396 for my area but figured that would add several weeks to the order and I would have to reprogram. Boom, I get the email saying it has shipped and few days latter it arrives. I plugged it in and another boom. Scanner Master programmers had put each jurisdiction in my area on a seperate key so I can scan one or all with the push of a button! I would actually call that plug and play and was up and running in less than five minutes. So if you are intimidated at all by the complexity just let Scanner Master program your scanner. You can then take your time figuring out how to launch cruise missles with it. Highly satisfied.

July 23, 2013
Reviewer: Rohn Daughtry from Pink Hill, NC United States
my wife and each have one. we both enjoy them very much. use the software to program them. it will make life much more fun! also, download the "easier to read " manual off the net. do not waste your time on the cd manual. i have been an electronic tech for years, have 2 degrees in electronincs and a ham radio op for almost 20 years, and the cd manual was useless to me.
if you use the radio alot buy another charger (at least one for the car) the radio does eat battteries.
all in all , have not had this much fun with a radio in years.

Love this better than my radio shack
April 2, 2012
Reviewer: Aram Attarashany from Renton, WA United States
In the last 4 months or so that I've owned this canner, I have been nothing but satisfied. My old scanner was making me old because it was not very "metro area friendly." On this one, I've only monitored local Motorola systems so can't talk about any other system experience.
You really have to know what you're doing and it's recommended that you pick up "Scanners for Dummies" to learn the methods of radio communication.
The scanner is a lot easier to use, supports more than one site, and it's way easier to switch talkgroups on this not to mention number tagging.
Alpha tagging is a chore since you have to turn the scroll knob on top of the radio. I would have prefered keystrokes like on a phone and using the knob to turn the cursor.
Otherwise, splendid work Uniden. I knew I could count on you!

Buy it...
October 6, 2011
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Smyrna, TN United States
I have had mine for a while now and it performs really well. No problems with VHF high band reception as previous poster mentioned. Most of what I monitor is VHF and I'm picking up CSX rail comms from a great distance, not to mention it's ability to pull in VHF signals from nearby counties. Runs all day on a full charge, and that's with the light activating on squelch.
Computer programming is recommended, however - you will benefit from learning how to tweak it and program manually on the go.

This little scanner is well worth the money a little powerhouse! I had tried 2 other digital scanners including a radio shack pro model and the reception wasn't good at all so i returned them.

Thanks guys i will do my business here in the future.

Recent Spello reviews
"My husband and I just returned from the most perfect week at Casa Spello. Our home while in Spello was Augustus and "home" is best way to describe the feeling of this spectacular apartment. It was appointed with everything we needed. Its location was ideal for exploring the charming town of Spello and surrounding Umbrian villages. And the sunsets?! Wow. We relied heavily on Gina's recommendations and, as a result, enjoyed some unique adventures and fine dining we never could have found on our own. From Nadia's warm welcome to our final goodbyes, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We'll cherish our memories of Casa Spello for the rest of our lives ... and hope to return again one day."
"Just a week returned from an eight night stay at Villa Buonanotte Barbanera and my family and I would love to get on the next flight and visit again. My wife and I, our 6 year old daughter and our 20 month old son, spent Pasqua (Easter) in Spello at Andrea's beautiful villa. The villa is as spectacular in person as it is in the pictures – and the views are even better. The conversion/restoration of this 14th century church was done with care and an incredible attention to detail. It retains the old world feel but contains all of the modern conveniences you want. The décor is comfortable and stylish. Our daughter loved having her own space upstairs with its unique Moroccan inspired theme. The outdoor space is a treasure, made even more spectacular by the fact it is within the old city walls. You never tire of walking into the private garden from the street and seeing the tremendous views. The location of the villa provides the best of both worlds – a country feel/view but with in-town convenience. Andrea herself was a joy to work with during the planning process and a genuinely great person when we met her. She can organize all sorts of activities for you, restaurant recommendations, pantry stocking – pretty much anything. During our stay she said to me that she knows there are many nice villas for people to stay in, and so it was important for her to provide a service level that elevates a stay with her above other options. These are not hollow words, she clearly believes and acts on them. She is also clearly well known and respected in town as many local business/restaurant proprietors knew her and knew that we were staying with her. I also wanted to mention Sabrina, a young woman Andrea relies on occasionally when she cannot meet a guest for check in (which was the case for us). Sabrina was so nice, and so great with our kids, that we actually had her babysit (or "funsit" as my daughter said) for us half-way through our stay. We were a bit unsure how it would go as the kids didn't know her. It couldn't have gone any better, the kids had a great time with her, going out for gelato, going to a playground, and just hanging out at the villa. It went so well in fact that when we told our daughter we were going to have her come again later in the trip she jumped for joy. I would not hesitate to return to Buonanotte Barbanera or suggest it to others. It was an integral part of our fantastic vacation. If you're going to Umbria give Andrea a call!"
"Our stay in this apartment in Spello was really great. The apartment is situated only a block from the main square, where you can find shops, grocery stores, banks and the post office. The apartment is as cute as it looks in the pictures, with a brick vaulted ceiling that was built centuries ago. The bed and the chairs were very comfortable (we slept like babies). The flat screen TV and the Wifi worked great the entire time. Views of the Umbrian countryside from the large patio were as advertised! The bathroom and shower are a bit tight but were perfectly adequate for us, with good water pressure and fixtures. The kitchen is adequately supplied and made us feel like real Italian residents. We can't say enough about Roberto, the owner of this property. He was totally helpful and congenial in every way. We are so glad we picked Spello for our extended stay. The convenient train station allowed us to reach many hill towns. It is just the right mix of locals and tourists to give the amenities you want (restaurants, shops, sights) while feeling like a local. And, it has that medieval feeling you want from an Umbrian hill town!"

Actress Lupita Nyong'o accepts the Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role award for '12 Years a Slave'. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images)
Last night when the news broke about Lupita Nyong'o's Oscar win, I nearly cried. As she spoke, I thought of all those mahogany hued sisters rendered nearly invisible by white supremacy, colorism and our own collective self hatred.
Those simple yet profound words of hope resonate so deeply with me:
"When I look down at this golden statue, may it remind me and every little child that no matter where you're from, your dreams are valid. Thank you." Oh what a way to begin the week!
There is so much dynamic writing and music online about empowerment (our inspirational word of the month), awareness, life lessons and dancing in the rain. I hope you'll enjoy reading these pieces, too!

I lose whole chunks of time reading, whether on the bus ride home, or in those rare hours of solitude at a cafe. These days, my mind and eyes move quickly, zig zagging from articles and blog posts to podcasts (NPR, SoundCloud, Marc Steiner show, etc.).
Yes, sometimes this leads to information overload, but it also pushes me to continue growing, exploring and understanding novel ways of seeing the world. The inspirational links below connect to an overarching theme, love: love of self, culture and community. Enjoy!

Live In Color! – Emelda
I am convinced, great books find us. Oh the euphoria of connecting to words which resonate so deeply with your own experience. A few weeks ago one of my best friends, Shannon (former Live In Color co-editor) blessed me with two books. One of them, Smart Women, Smart Choices: Set Limits and Gain Control of Your Personal and Professional Life by Hattie Hill, is transforming the way I think about lots of stuff.
Hill, an entrepreneur, international speaker and consultant, lived the lessons of this book, and after the dissolving of her first marriage, she reflected inward: "When did I cross the line from smart, independent woman to one whose cape was so weighted down with others' concerns that I could no longer fly? In fact, I could barely walk."
It's taken me years to admit this to myself, but I am a pleaser, easily placing other people's needs before my own. Yes, I know it's detrimental, but until now, I had no concrete language for understanding these choices. With each section of Smart Women, Smart Choices, Hill helps me confront pieces of myself.
We meet women who do it all, and fit into various roles: "the juggler, " "the achiever," "the doer," etc. Yet each shares a common trait, in addition to caring deeply for others, they carry them, shouldering more than their load with co-workers, friends, children and spouses. Oh, how well I relate!
Hill, though, is not satisfied for us to simply observe similarities, she demands change. At the end of each chapter there are questions and exercises. Clearly, we must do our work.
I am ready. For me, 2014 is about clarity, and doggedly removing obstacles which impede growth. Currently, because of my own busy life, I read a little at a time. Here are some of the passages that stand out:
Superwoman is a myth. No longer is stronger, faster, better, the formula for success in living a meaningful life. Women must discover a new way of meeting the overwhelming demands of modern times and that requires new choices.
We need to differentiate between carrying and caring.
Caring is an act of love. Carrying is a misuse of love.
Control is the illusion that we can make everything happen to perfection if we keep a firm grip on the reins. We really don't trust anyone to get the job done but ourselves. As we take over the controls, either subtly or overtly, we begin to carry.
Loving starts with ourselves. If we don't love ourselves, we cannot love one another.
Live In Color! – Emelda
I am addicted to inspiration. Admitting is the first step, huh? One of my favorite blogs, Rowdy Kittens, which honors the beauty of living small with gratitude and grace, regularly posts links to other great content around the web from articles to podcasts.
Recently, while brainstorming in the shower (isn't it the best place for ideas), I thought, why not add to the effort? The world always needs more motivation and positive energy, right? So, visit Live In Color each Monday, and connect with content which feeds your soul. I cannot think of a better way to begin the week.
Here's what caught my eye today:

Live In Color! – Emelda
Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. I use the word "love" here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace – not in the infantile American sense of being made happy but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.
– James Baldwin
We're kicking off the months at Live In Color blog with one inspirational word, a guiding light to carry us through our days, especially during those moments when all feels dismal. Isn't this the beauty of inspiration? It empowers us to see the world with fresh eyes.
Throughout February, we celebrate love. I know. I hear you groaning! Valentine's Day is Friday, the stores are overrun with teddy bears, chocolate candy and flowers. Our focus on love though is no ode to these superficial sentiments wrapped in commercialization.
No. It's about increasingly moving towards an authentic love, rooted in faith, family, and self confidence. It is taking time to celebrate the enormity of subtle moments we ignore: your child tugging at you, eyes reaching for affection and reassurance, a friend's easy laughter over lunch, or significant other's hand falling subtly against your skin, carrying both warmth and fidelity.
Those instances when you realize life, in all of its complexity and beauty, presents you with endless possibilities to see it anew. This is love which inspires, transforms and uplifts. We hope you will join us in this ongoing journey.
Your Turn
Please do share how love guides you this month, not merely as a word, but a principle within your life.
Live In Color! – Emelda
It's challenging being a brown girl in a world where lightness is synonymous with beauty. Some of us feel invisible at times, ignored and marginalized. Often, when we are acknowledged it's through the prism of stifling stereotypes, from gold digger to gum poppin' baby mama.
Ambush & Kareem Ali, a DMV-based hip-hop duo, are out to change all of that. Their latest track, "Love In My Heart" is an ode to everything commercial rap refutes, authentic black beauty. The video, shot by Keystone Productions (yes, full disclosure, that's my hubby's company) follows one woman's journey to self love.
We watch as she struggles with a boyfriend who refuses to see her, even as she acquiesces to his notions of Eurocentric femininity. But Kareem Ali reminds us with a confident grin, his voice steady over the vibrant beat, "…when chocolate looks good, baby, nothing looks better."
In a world where singers and rappers extol "yellow model chicks" without hesitation, it's refreshing to hear and see a brother admiring skin tones the color of rich mahogany. Images matter immensely; this visual essay, these rhymes, stand as a testament to the power of resistance, and a willingness to define ourselves for ourselves. It's all rooted in love; Ambush & Kareem Ali didn't have to work to convince me.

Live In Color! – Emelda
A few weeks ago, my good friend and fellow blogger Michelle Whitney wrote eloquently about creativity and how, sadly, our culture shuns it at every turn. Her post was a response to Jessica Olien's piece on Slate, Inside the Box.
Michelle is all about resistance and rebellion, and not blending into society's narrow definition of who she should become. She says without apology: "I choose to live creatively. It is at the essence of who I am as a person in this world."
When not writing at Surviving a Creative Life , Michelle creates everything from dazzling tiny ornate hats to yummy applesauce. We are pleased she is our first guest blogger for 2014!
Is your creativity melting away in this 9 to 5 world?
Jessica Olein has written an interesting article on Slate about how people say they value creativity, but they really want everyone to jump in line and dutifully follow the status quo, even if it is to the detriment to those who talked the talk about valuing creativity in the first place. I hate to say it, but as someone who lives in the 9 to 5 world, she's right. I see it almost every day.
Though her company initially hired her for her problem-solving skills, she is regularly unable to fix actual problems because nobody will listen to her ideas. "I even say, 'I'll do the work. Just give me the go ahead and I'll do it myself,' " she says. "But they won't, and so the system stays less efficient."
Ideas for how to manage projects, streamline workflow, and integrate technological advancements are nearly always met with metaphorical brick walls in the workplace. If the ideas are presented from the bottom to the management then they are almost certain to fail or to be dismissed outright without even a friendly ear. After awhile, people become apathetic and stop suggesting creative solutions to problems. The resistance to creative change, even in the positive, is astounding!
Most people agree that what distinguishes those who become famously creative is their resilience. While creativity at times is very rewarding, it is not about happiness. Staw says a successful creative person is someone "who can survive conformity pressures and be impervious to social pressure."
To survive a creative life we can't let that apathy consume us. I've lost count of how many times I've heard, "We've been doing it like this for XYZ, which is why we should keep doing it like this going forward." This is not a reason for doing something if there is a way to improve upon it–especially in our technological world of lightning-fast changes.
"Everybody hates it when something's really great," says essayist and art critic Dave Hickey.
I ran into this myself in a creative writing class back in 1990. I had written a first-person short story from the point of view of a character who dies (not that my story was really great or anything, but who am I kidding, it was pretty awesome for a high-school kid). The character continued to narrate the story from beyond the veil of death. My creative writing teacher insisted that I couldn't do this.
"You can't have a narrator that's dead."
"Why not?" I asked.
"You just can't."
In 1999 the movie American Beauty was released, and guess what–that's right, the narrator of the story was dead. That movie won 5 Oscars and according to IMDB had 74 total award nominations and 94 wins.
Why again couldn't I write a short story in which the narrator is dead? It's exactly what Olein is talking about in this article. The story was something new at the time–it was definitely out-of-the-box. My creative writing teacher had quite a bit of jealousy rattling around inside her when it came to my burgeoning writing talent (there were many other issues that made this abundantly clear, but that's a post for another day…). And just because she had never seen someone write a story with a narrator who dies, she rejected it as an impossibility.
Unfortunately, the place where our first creative ideas go to die is the place that should be most open to them—school. Studies show that teachers overwhelmingly discriminate against creative students, favoring their satisfier classmates who more readily follow directions and do what they're told.
And even if our teachers do support us in our creative pursuits and encourage new ideas and innovation in our thinking, what is our current obsession with testing doing to the creative among us?
Even if children are lucky enough to have a teacher receptive to their ideas, standardized testing and other programs like No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top (a program whose very designation is opposed to nonlinear creative thinking) make sure children's minds are not on the "wrong" path, even though adults' accomplishments are linked far more strongly to their creativity than their IQ.
I've had long conversations with a teacher-of-the-year friend of mine about No Child Left Behind and how it leaves no room for creativity in its curriculum demands. We also talked about direct instruction (mostly experimented with on low-income children, of course) being the same way. We're teaching our kids only to follow directions and stay within the lines. Teaching a test is not teaching problem-solving, which is something that life requires of all of us. Problem-solving often involves finding creative solutions to complex issues. You can't learn this by picking A, B, or C on a multiple-choice test.
To live creatively is a choice. You must make a commitment to your own mind and the possibility that you will not be accepted. You have to let go of satisfying people, often even yourself.
I choose to live creatively. It is at the essence of who I am as a person in this world. I've never really fit–I'm the proverbial square peg and I refuse to carve corners to try to wrongly wriggle into a round hole. I choose to be myself and, accepted or not, here I am. Now if I could just let go of satisfying myself…
As writer Anais Nin once said, "Perfection is static, and I am in full progress…"
Michelle was born a creative genius (really, I swear!). Okay, maybe not a genius, but definitely creative. She works a stressful 9-5 that is creative-adjacent, but lacks in actual creativity. In order to survive this situation while still being able to pay her bills, she seeks to find the creative in situations all around her. It's a survival tactic, because surviving a creative life is not always easy and often it makes you question yourself down to the very fibers of your being.
Michelle is a trained writer and photographer and an autodidact in just about anything else she can get her hands on.
Style rebels decimate boxes, crushing rules with stilettos, sneakers, timberland boots, or any other form of fabulous footwear! Solange, singer and founder of record label Saint Heron, easily fits this description, a free spirit willing to take risks. In our era of stylists and filtered selfies, it's refreshing to watch a celebrity experiment.
Years ago, she embraced her natural tresses, eschewing straight weaves which show up on female entertainers of color from red carpets to magazine covers. Folks were upset, tweeting furiously: Who did she think she was cutting all of her hair off like that? Wearing it natural? Why?
We love Solange for not allowing the pettiness of public opinion to dissuade growing feelings of freedom and joy. Her taste is a genuine reflection of a global sensibility; some of our favorite pieces marry African prints with bold colors and intricate shapes. Lately, these looks are catching our eye:

It's a new year, and we are excited to bring you our first blog chat! These interviews with inspirational people in a variety of fields from artists to community activists, educators and entrepreneurs, are so uplifting for us. A little over a week ago I chatted with Shanise Morris, a young talented entrepreneur whose background spans communications / writing, culinary arts, poetry and painting. What is such a multifaceted person to do? Why become your own boss of course! She recently founded Plush Plum Events, which specializes in event design and planning.
Shanise is part of a steady trend as increasingly women combine professional experience and education to start businesses. According to statistics gathered by the Center for Women's Business Research (2009), "one in five firms with revenues of $1 million or more are owned by women."
Yes. Women entrepreneurs rock! So relax, put up those feet, and watch our interview. We're sure Shanise will inspire you, too!

She named her dog after my daughter!!! WTF
Get a dog and name her Bitch and then tell her that you named it after her.
I was all prepared to be like, maybe she just likes the name? but no. She's being nasty on purpose. What you gotta do, though, is let that roll off you like it's nothing, cause that's exactly what it is. If she was any kind of a decent woman, not only would she not say that, but she'd be taking care of her own kids. She - and her nonsense - are beneath you.
I don't get all the ladies on here debating weather Lily is a freakin dog name or not the point is BM knows she has a daughter named Lily and decided to name her dog that knowing it would piss SM off that in my opinion is the issue not what is more common a dog named lily or a person geez.
Quoting Anonymous:
Thinking you are taking it to personal. She liked the name. Its a good thing.
