University Hall celebration marks second series of teacher-created materials
Wednesday, November 13, 2013
On Tuesday, Nov. 12, representatives of the publishing house, Lesley faculty and administrators, education professionals, alumni and other members of the public — about 150 people in all — gathered in the University Hall Amphitheater for an engaging and interactive presentation on how integrating the arts can help classroom teachers achieve the Common Core standards.
Shell Education, the professional resources division of education publisher Teacher Created Materials, and Lesley forged a partnership more than a year ago via Lesley University trustee Barbara Russell and Lesley professor of education and mathematics Dr. Linda Dacey, co-author of numerous educational resources.
"This relationship brings two educational innovators together who share a dedication to transformative teaching and learning through active classroom inquiry," Dacey says.
"There is nothing more powerful in education than the creation of teaching techniques and materials developed by teachers for teachers," Russell says. "With Lesley's unrivaled reputation for teacher training, and TCM/Shell's development of many award-winning programs, this partnership will benefit young people and their teachers for generations."
Shell provided attendees with tote bags brimming with free samples of the newest series of books designed for immediate use in the classroom, according to Professor Dacey.
Dr. Lisa Fiore, dean of faculty and a professor of early childhood education, adds, "The partnership with TCM/Shell is a unique opportunity for educators to collaborate on projects that directly and indirectly impact teaching and learning, capturing multiple perspectives."
The secret to the success of the partnership, Fiore says, is that the publishing house's editorial staff consists of experienced educators.
"These creative working relationships with content, curriculum and pedagogy experts at Lesley embody a commitment to developmentally appropriate materials, responsiveness rather than reactivity to standards and assessments," Fiore says.
This year, 10 Lesley faculty members and one doctoral student authored books:
Other Lesley faculty members who have written books for the previous year's series include professors Mary Ann Cappiello, Anne Collins, Louise Pascale and Erika Thulin Dawes.
Following introductory remarks on Nov. 12, Linda Dacey and Lisa Donovan, an adjunct faculty member who is also a professor at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in North Adams, will give an interactive presentation, "Achieving the Common Core Through the Arts." Dacey and Donovan were co-editors of TCM/Shell's four-book series on arts integration.
"Arts integration provides powerful strategies for achieving the Common Core State Standards," Donovan says. "The arts provide rich exemplars for the expanded notion of texts.
"A text can be a painting, a choreographed dance, a work of theater. The creative process by its nature encourages the development of Common Core skills such as metacognition, close observation and inquiry-based learning."
Jenn Bogard, Donovan's co-author on Strategies to Integrate the Arts in Language Arts, agrees:
"As teachers, we know that students of all ages are motivated to learn when they encounter a novel experience, when they can access content through multiple modalities, and when they feel connected to ideas.
"In this series, we bring together our experiences as teachers and learners, and we design lessons that bridge important research and theory with day-to-day practice."

Signs memorandum with the Tamil Nadu Government
CHENNAI: Global computer major Dell has announced that it will set up a manufacturing facility at Sriperumbudur, near here. The memorandum of understanding in this regard has been signed between Dell and the Tamil Nadu Government.
Addressing a press conference here on Thursday, Paul-Henri Ferrand, Vice President (South Asia) of Dell, said the company would be investing $30 million over five years. This would go up to $60 million by the end of ten years. He expected the facility to go on stream to in the first half of 2007. The facility and related operations would be located on a 50-acre land, he added. The facility would directly employ 1,000 people and provide indirect jobs for 4,000 people.
Mr. Ferrand said the upcoming facility would initially focus on production of desktop computers and servers. Over a period it would start manufacturing notebooks and other computer products. At present, nearly 70 per cent of Dell's business in India was accounted for by desktop computers.
Mr. Ferrand said the Chennai plant would be Dell's sixth manufacturing facility in the world and fourth in the Asia Pacific region. Dell has two facilities in China and one in Penang, Malaysia. He said the new facility would allow Dell to reduce delivery time from about 12 to 15 days to 3-4 days.
The Union Minister for Communication and Information Technology, Dayanidhi Maran, said the State Government had allocated 130 acres of land at the Sripermubudur Hi-Tech Park for housing various electronic units. Competitive and conducive environment, availability of skilled labour and port facilities were the key factors that made Dell decide on Chennai as the location for its plant.
Rajan Anandan, Vice-President of India Sales, Dell, said "wherever Dell set up its operation, it contributed great amount to that country's revenue, for example it contributed nearly seven per cent of Malaysia's GDP." He said Dell had grown to a Rs. 1,800 crore company in India over the last six years and was growing at 60 per cent. It had a market share of 46 per cent among large companies with over 1,000 employees.
Tamil Nadu Industries Secretary Shaktikanta Das said Dell setting up its unit in the State would make a significant impact on the overall investment scenario of the State.

Updated clone of Westood Studios' Dune2 which uses data files from the original game. New features include multiple unit selection/control, high resolution support, multiplayer gaming, improved gui.
User Ratings
User Reviews
I've compiled Dune Legacy 0.96.3 and I'm impressed that somebody updated it. The features are all there. I'd just like to see the difficulty reduced on early scenarios: certainly the ai is basic, despite this it still manufactures too many units, which makes the first few levels very annoying! I'd also like to build 4-piece pavement on early scenarios. In my opinion, pressing 'h' should select the construction yard (currently doesn't work).
Works fine on my Windows 7 machine but does not work with Mac OS X 10.9.5. dyld error, can't find SDL_mixer library
A classic game adapted to modern times.
FINALLY!! Dune 2 is resurrected thank you for whoever decided to take the time to make this game after i heard dune 2 the maker got taken down i was hoping someone would pick up dune 2
08.07.2013. Overall gameplay needs more powerful Rocket towers, removal of Great House-unique units from the sub-houses clearing the mess, and putting periodically attacking Sardaukar from early missions. Also, missions 3 Atr, 2 Hrk, 6 Hrk are a bit too hard for an Easy level. If possible, game scroll speed max should increased and the settings of scroll speed kept saved. Cheers!

In or around April 16, 2010, precinct commander captain Charles Cox emailed precinct officers instructing them to conduct a directed traffic enforcement at a location in Cobb County, Georgia. Cox referenced a citizen complaint about speeding, racing and littering on Groover Road. The next day, Sergeant Andrew Marchetta sent an officer to survey Groover Road for its applicability for a traffic checkpoint. The officer reported back to Sergeant Marchetta that the road was not conducive to traffic enforcement using speed detection devices due to the limited sight distances on the road. Sergeant Marcetta then decided a few days later to set up a traffic safety checkpoint on Groover Road. Sergeant Marcetta's plan was to stop every vehicle approaching the checkpoint from either direction and check the driver's license, vehicle registration and proof of insurance. Officer David Smith assisted Sergeant Marchetta with the checkpoint. The checkpoint/road block began on April 9, 2010, at approximately 6:45 p.m. while it was still daylight outside. The checkpoint was marked by two traffic cones, two patrol cars that were parked with their blue lights on, and the officers themselves who were wearing bright yellow vests.
At around 7:05 p.m., the appellant (Douglas Brown), approached the checkpoint in a Nissan Maxima vehicle with a pizza delivery sign on it. He initially attempted to drive around the checkpoint, but when Officer Smith yelled at him to stop, he did so. Officer Smith told Sergeant Marchetta that he smelled the odor of marijuana coming from the appellant's vehicle. Ultimately, Brown was arrested for DUI/drunk driving and a drug offense.

My son was the only one who did not cry, they said. That's good, but how much attention can he be getting? I saw staff carrying these crying children. It seemed chaotic to me, but it was also because all the parents drop off and pick up at the same time, and I know that can be chaotic. I visited mid-day and things seemed much calmer and my son was happy and playing outside. When I picked him up, though, he seemed bored and ready to go. Should I give this school a chance because almost all kids are brand new except three or four of them and some of the staff is also brand new today, or should I run away??

That's one of the few advantages of a shallow bilge like mine as well, even the most modest loss of FW will show itself immediately on my boat...
I only have one large tank, built right into the hull. It's very low, right above the keel, which is good for stability but it'ss not easy to check for water level. I have a counter-level hand pump which is the main pump when out cruising. For drinking water, I carry three 5 gallon containers which get filled with known good water. Replaced the old Jabsco noise-maker with a new centrifugal pump which is so quiet that it could drain the tanks and I'd never hear it running. For emergency supply, kept in the ditch bag, I have a manual reverse osmosis unit. IMO, a necessary gadget to have on any boat going far from shore.

U.S. Soccer has issued numerous tributes to Landon Donovan in the lead up his final appearance for the U.S. National Team and the latest has a distinctly academy feel.
In an interview with U.S. Soccer, current Galaxy U-17 and U.S. U-17 defender Hugo Arellano reflects on Donovan's impact on his own career and the career of other young players. Donovan was himself famously a member of the same residency program that Arellano -- and Galaxy U-16 goalkeeper Eric Lopez -- is a member of.
Bruce Arena leaving Omar Gonzalez's status for FC Dallas match up to U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann
CARSON, Calif. – Landon Donovan is scheduled to be back in the fold for the LA Galaxy after appearing in Friday's U.S. National Team match against Ecuador, but could Omar Gonzalez also be back in the lineup for the FC Dallas match?
According to Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena, the final decision will be left to U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann on whether or not Gonzalez will rejoin the Galaxy or stay with the U.S. for their Oct. 14 friendly against Honduras in Florida.
"The decision will be made by the coach and what he thinks is in the best interest of his team and everything that he needs to do," said Arena. "This is not an easy situation for a national team coach when he can't rely on the domestic players because of the league. It's not easy on anyone so he doesn't need to be bugged by me during the week. It's an awkward situation for everyone.
"It's difficult on a national team coach and the best way to [fix the problem] would be to honor international dates if we can get to that point with our league, so that it doesn't become such a challenge for everybody to make it work"
CARSON, Calif. –Landon Donovan will take the field for a final time for the U.S. National Team this Friday against Ecuador and according to the Galaxy great, it couldn't have happened without the influence of U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati.
Donovan was named captain for the match on Tuesday by U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann, but the 32-year-old forward told reporters that he has yet to speak to the national team boss ahead of the game. While Donovan's relationship with Klinsmann has been noticeably frosty since he was excluded from the U.S. squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup,
"I give Sunil a lot of credit for making the effort to make this happen. He made sure that this was going to happen and I'm glad that he did. I wasn't sure at first, but he did a good job of making sure that it all came together. I'm sure that it's going to be a terrific event and I'm very excited."
And when asked if his USMNT swansong would not have happened without Gulati's sway, Donovan's answer was revealing.
"I don't know for sure," admitted Donovan. "But I'd say that's a safe assumption."
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The LA Galaxy will get their first week-long break in little over a month this week and the respite could not come at a better time for striker Robbie Keane.
Due to his participation in Ireland's UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying campaign, the Irishman has traveled considerable distances bouncing around from Southern California, Dublin, Tbilisi, Georgia, Montreal, and San Jose.
After the Galaxy's 1-1 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes, Keane admitted that he's eagerly looking forward to a little rest before LA return to action this Saturday against FC Dallas.
"It's been a tough few weeks for me personally. I'm absolutely shattered to be honest with you and it'll be nice to have a week without traveling," said Keane after LA's draw to San Jose. "I've been feeling the effects over the last couple of days so it'll be nice to rest and not have to travel. I've endured a long 10 days with some 40 hours of traveling and it was taking my toll. I'll just refresh myself and get ready for Saturday's game."
With some needed time to rest, Keane believes that he'll be able to better aid the Galaxy as they look to erase Seattle Sounders FC's slim three point lead in the Supporters' Shield chase.
"It's in our own hands," said Keane. "We're playing the teams around us and they'll be tough games, but we're quite capable of beating anybody."
LA Galaxy goalkeeper Jaime Penedo will rejoin the club this week from the Copa CentroAmericana, but even though Panama did not win the Central American championship, Penedo will leave with some silverware.
Penedo was awarded the tournament's Golden Glove award for best goalkeeper after conceding just two goals during Panama's three games. Panama finished the tournament in third place after defeating El Salvador 1-0 in the third place match on Saturday afternoon at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
The award comes on the heels of Penedo's Golden Gloves showing at the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup when Penedo was instrumental in Panama's run to the final. By finishing in the CentroAmericana's top four spots, Panama earned a berth in the 2015 edition of the Gold Cup.
LA Galaxy goalkeeper Jaime Penedo and Panama finished third at the 2014 Copa CentroAmericana on Saturday with their 1-0 victory over El Salvador.
Defender Roman Torres scored the only goal as Penedo earned his second straight shutout of the tournament despite Los Canaleros playing a man down for the last 24 minutes in the match. The Galaxy 'keeper exits the tournament with two wins and a draw and just two goals conceded.
Panama will be joined in the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup by Costa Rica, Guatemala and El Salvador.
LA Galaxy goalkeeper Jaime Penedo and Panama are going to the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup, but their dreams of playing in the Copa CentroAmericana Final and a chance at the 2016 Copa America Centenario fell just short on Wednesday.
Panama earned a 2-0 victory over Nicaragua at Houston's BBVA Compass Stadium, but were unable to earn the three goal victory that could have placed them in a random draw with Costa Rica for a berth in the Central American final. Blas Perez and Roman Torres scored the goals for Panama in the victory. Los Canaleros will now face Honduras in the third place game at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Saturday evening.
With Panama already through to the CONCACAF Gold Cup, questions remained on whether Penedo would opt to return to the Galaxy, but the goalkeeper told reporters in Texas that he hopes to stay with the national side.
Penedo confirma que se queda con la selección hasta el 3er partido.

Bradford Jamieson IV started as the U.S. Under-20's earned a 1-1 draw against Argentina on Tuesday in the final match of their South American excursion.
Zach Pfeffer scored the lone goal for the Americans in the 61st minute to help the U.S. end their international trip with a 2-0-1 record. The trip was a highly successful one for Jamieson who appeared in all three matches and scored twice in the team's 3-2 victory over the Defensa y Justicia Reserves last week.
The 17-year-old Galaxy Homegrown Player will now return to Southern California where he's expected to be available for selection for Saturday's USLPRO playoff match against the Rochester Rhinos at StubHub Center.
Jamie Penedo and Panama suffered yet another disappointment in an important match.
Blas Perez and Roberto Nurse scored to put the Panamanians up 2-0, but saw their lead fall apart in the last 15 minutes as Costa Rica scored twice -- including a Celso Borges penalty kick goal -- to earn a point in the Group B match. Perez had a chance to save the evening for the Panamanians with a penalty kick attempt, but his effort was saved by goalkeeper Patrick Pemberton to preserve the draw for the Ticos and book them a ticket to 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Despite the draw, Panama still has an opportunity to qualify for the Copa CentroAmericana final in their Group B finale against Nicaragua on Sept. 10 in Houston. If Panama can score four goals against the Central American minnows, they'll qualify for the final in place of Costa Rica and have an opportunity to qualify for the Copa America Centenario.
Robbie Keane started and went 75 minutes as Republic of Ireland kicked off their Euro 2016 campaign with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Georgia on Sunday in Tbilisi.
Everton midfielder Aiden McGeady scored twice for the Irish, including one tally in the 89th minute to seal three points on the road for The Boys in Green. Tornike Okriashvili scored the lone goal for Georgia.
In the 23rd minute, Keane played setup man on McGeady's opening strike as he fed James McCarthy who dished it to McGeady for the opening strike. With one minute left to play and the score nodded at 1-1 after Okriashvili's equalizer, McGeady eluded a defender and fired a left-footed rocket that gave the Irish the vital road victory.
Keane will now rejoin Galaxy ahead of their match against the Montreal Impact on Wednesday.
The Irish return to Euro 2016 qualifying action next month when they host Group D rivals Gibraltar in Dublin on Oct. 11 before traveling to face reigning World Cup champions Germany in Gelsenkirchen three days later.

On December 4, 1978, the sports headline in the Arizona Daily Star read: "Quihuis another name for boxing in Tucson." That was the only one of the many accolades accorded "Battling Mike Nelson," whose life, for more than five decades, touched on nearly every aspect of the sport. One of Tucson's top boxers in the 1930s, Mike reigned as Arizona Welterweight Champion from 1932 until 1934. He was a promoter, trainer and manager and served on the state boxing commission under three different governors. He also was semi-pro baseball player and umpire and an avid golfer and bowler who spent more than 30 years promoting sports activities for the City Recreation Department. In addition, Mike was a newspaper reporter and sportscaster for a Tucson Spanish Language radio station for many years. He was widely known and honored as Tucson's "tireless Good Samaritan" and fighter for the needy. It was the sight (in 1948) of a legless 13-year-old boy dragging himself along the ground on a skate-wheeled cart that prompted Mike to raise money to buy a wheelchair for the youngster. Later he raised funds for artificial legs for the boys and others. In 1982 he received the Jefferson Award for community service and leadership. Once asked about his first "pro" fight, Mike recalled: "It was in 1923. I was 11 years old and this promoter promised us $1 each." The three-round bout ended in a draw and the promoter ran off with the receipts. "We never got the money," he laughed. "I'm still waiting for that dollar." Mike died Nov. 16, 1988, after suffering a heart attack at the age of 76. In the words of former Arizona Daily Star Sports Editor Tom Foust, "Little wonder that Mike's heart finally gave out. He worked it overtime in more than a half century of giving to others."

A shop that specializes in home and life design, Crosell and Co. is one of the cutest stores in Bucktown. I adore this shop for dinnerware, fine china and general home decorating.
Entering Crosell is a journey into a world of magic, sparkle and glimmer. Housed in a two story black and white brick house at Damen and Armitage, Crosell is a great stop for a house warming gift or just to dream up new decor ideas for your abode. Tables of china, candles, picture frames and home entertaining must-haves cover every inch of their tables. I especially admire the fine details of the Juliska dinnerware, can't get enough of the Michael Aram sliver leaf platters (great for fall entertaining) and covet the Mary Rose Young colored bowls that embody fun and youth. Crosell and Co. is the place to go if you envision elegant dinner parties complete with with gold embroidered goblets by Arte Italica or a more casual event where Bella Cucina Artichoke and Lemon pesto spread is served on Vietri silverware.
Their variety of dinnerware ranges from sophisticated to playful, providing options for those with conservative to avant-garde taste. And Crosell and Co. also facilitates wedding registries. Though they carry high-end lines, the staff is always friendly, down-to-earth and ready to answer your questions. This is a must-go if you are looking for an elegant gift or need a bit of unique and refined home decorating inspiration!

The post Spirituality: An Art, Not A Science appeared first on Rebel Zen.]]>
What The…?
After an inward period, I seems I can feel the floodgates about to open on a new phase of woo-woo writing from me, so I want to preface it all with an explanation of my dissonant ideas and how I am really quite comfortable with it all.
You see I am a very "spiritual" person. I believe in a Higher Power (God, The Universe, The Tao – it's all wonderfully vague and Definitely Demanding of Sentence Case). Also I am in communion with a group of enlightened beings that I call The Buddhas or The Hosts.
Yes, that's correct, by in communion I mean I talk with these beings. I "believe" they are benevolent and are present to help me to reconnect with my Higher Power and to understand The Plan for my life. I "believe" that when I ask, they are there and able to help me, they help me to get clarity and conviction around The Plan (which is for the higher good, I might point out) and they give me the abilities I need to make the plan happen here in the world.
So, yeah, all pretty way out. But note the quote marks around the word "believe". I put them there because I have a caveat when it comes to my spiritual beliefs: I have them – but they're all made up.
Yes that's right. I believe – but I also believe it's all in my imagination.
And in no way does the latter take away from the power and the "realness" of the former.
I have developed over the years a Theology of Relativity, the basic premise of which is that spirituality is just stuff we make up, collectively, individually, to deal with life and to explain the mystery of this bizarre existence we find ourselves in. Our theologies are relative because we are free to make up our spiritual lives as we see fit. There is no objective spiritual truth around which we need stubbornly cling.
I see spirituality as mysterious and powerful. I meditate and pray regularly and when I do I have rich, colourful and powerful experiences. I talk to enlightened beings, I feel physical bliss, I have great insights into my life and the nature of the universe and I feel empowered and connected to the "spirit in the sky".
None of it makes sense in a mechanistic way – which is no problem. It's contextually irrelevant.
I care not a jot about whether it is True or scientifically verifiable and of course it is not. What I do care about is the result. It makes me a better person.
Bit by bit, as I go inward and reflect, as I meditate and pray on the questions of life, as I read words of spiritual wisdom, I become a better man. I become more inclined to be patient, to forgive, to be kind, empathetic, compassionate. I see life through a less selfish lens.
I am less attracted to profligacy and more to a healthy lifestyle. I am more concerned about the results of actions on others and less with self-gratification. I feel happier and more content with what I have.
All of this self-growth comes to me via my meditation, my talking with Buddhas and with my Higher Power. It comes from my powerful meditations that involve cosmic energy filling my body, making me high on Love in a very real physical way. And this is all painted in and by my imagination.
Spirituality is like art – it doesn't need to make sense, and its power and appeal spill out of that.
Fantasy is useful in that it is therapeutic. Spirituality enables me to confront the epic mystery of life and the universe, and how weird it all is that it exists and we're here, in it, amongst all this stuff. Why it is this and not that? How come all this stuff?
Here's an important thing: spirituality is useful for coping with life but it does not opt you out of life's scientific rules. It can help you deal with tragedy, but clearly, it does not avert it. Trust in God, tether your camel. You cannot pray away a disease, but science may be able to prevent or cure it.
And run a mile from any religion or guru who tells you they have the One Truth. Honestly, I may talk to imaginary friends, but if you think God wants you to in any way be horrible to females, gays or anyone really then you're doing it wrong.
For that matter, if you think that anyone is going to burn in hell because they subscribe to this fantasy instead of that one, then go find a mirror and spend some extended time in front of it.

The post Self-Mastery: The Door to Success? appeared first on Rebel Zen.]]>
By self-mastery I mean "the power to control one's thoughts and actions" and if self-mastery is the door to success then self-discipline is the key that opens the door.
I think a lot of C-suite executive types would find this so obvious as to be mundane, however, I doubt many musicians and other types of "creatives" ever give this much thought, let alone effort. The ones that do stand out via their achievements.
Self-discipline in thought and deed had long been my failing. I am very interested to see if I can truly, consistently reverse that trend and see what difference it makes in my life.
Having said that, here is my list of:
Thursday October 3rd, 2014
By the way, should you be thinking: "What, is that ALL you got done yesterday?", let me point out that I run a business and have little kids, so great swathes of my day is necessarily taken up
coping with revelling in all that this dumps at one's feet blesses one with.
I mention the last bit about answering the phone late at night because this is, for me, a surprisingly dedicated action that requires some self-determination. Not because Jarra is anything other than a delight to converse with but because I struggle with "doing phone" and especially later in the evening when I am winding down. I tend to view the phone as an energy sapper, not least because between bad reception up here in the hills and my less-than-perfect hearing it is sometimes technically a struggle to hear people properly.
But here's the thing: self-discipline means remembering what you want. And by this I mean remembering what you REALLY want in the big picture, not just what you want right now.
For example, when, in the moment, I don't want to get out of bed at 6am and exercise, I remember what I really want in the big picture (to be fit and healthy and, frankly, to look good on stage ha ha) and this motivates me to swing my legs over the side of my bed and grumble up and at 'em. Same goes for the phone, if it rings late at night and answering it helps me get what I REALLY want in the big picture, then I need to remember this and resist the Monkey Mind's urgings to go for the immediate gratification of chillaxing on the couch, sans phone.

The post Music and Music Business as a Discipline appeared first on Rebel Zen.]]>
However, I am merely a student, not yet a master, and the issue I have with blogs is that they are so easy to publish that there is it seems a "master" on every street corner. It reeks of fakery and lacks credibility, and so while I no doubt have some things to teach (I've been at it a while) I do not wish to join the Insta-Master Brigade.
Instead what I have decided to do here is to start documenting my path exploring music and music business as a discipline. It will help me to stay on track and grow as a musician and as a person, and perhaps it will help you also. This will mean keeping notes of what I do each day to progress my music, both in terms of playing/writing/performing and in terms of seeking an audience for my humble rock tunes.
I am not certain it will always make for riveting reading, because being self-disciplined is not always that exciting, but it is very necessary if you expect to live a life of any substance (as opposed to substances ha ha). No doubt along the way I will find some nuggets to share. Let's begin:
Progress Report:
Tuesday 30 September 2014:Up at 6am – 45 mins Exercise (body weight workout). Eat clean (health food, no junk food, no sugar, no booze). Promote gig on Facebook. 1 hour writing book. 15 mins further planning book. Some thinking: Identified "obscurity" as biggest hurdle, i.e. need to raise profile. Resolved to tackle marketing/PR better.Early bed.
Wednesday 1 October 2014: Up at 7:15am – Rest body day. Eat clean (health food, no junk food, no sugar, no booze). Chatted with coach/friend Troy on Skype re raising profile. He suggested begin by documenting (blogging) the process every day. I suggested might be a bit boring but ok, thus these notes. Was to rehearse with Peter DW for Friday gig but he had to pull out so opted to listen to a very informative podcast about PR instead as I need to get my head in this space. This lead me to a beginner's guide to PR which was very useful indeed.
I do believe getting press is vital part of raising profile as a musician. Not because I give a crap about being in the paper for its own sake (like I did when I was young) but because obscurity = no audience for my music and my music is designed to help people! No point being awesome if nobody knows about it!
Spent a lot of time thinking about how so many things have changed in the world and what this means in terms of getting people to care about my (our) music (both current bands). Too many thoughts to document here on my phone with one finger.
Also had thoughts about how best to proceed with CFTB ep & texted boys re this. Think we should do 5 songs not 7. It's enough for now, IMO – see what they say.

The post Cleaning Toilets appeared first on Rebel Zen.]]>
I was the singer in one of the most popular bands in my home town and things were looking very, very bright indeed.
Pity I was miserable.
6 months later, quite by misadventure, my rock star dreams looked dashed and I was cleaning toilets to get by. And it was the best thing that ever happened to me.
In a weird way, it was just the medicine that the doctor ordered, and it kind of made me feel better, more grounded, happier even.
I know that sounds mad but if I hadn't had that experience of bending over cleaning other people's shit from the bowl, how would I have learned the value of humility? How would I have learned the happiness that comes from serving others.
I suppose life would have taught me the lesson one way or another, perhaps through parenthood or (considering the reckless way I used to carry on) a brush with law. But this fast and dramatic reversal of fortune weirdly made me happier on one level. And this satisfaction that comes from humbly serving others has stayed with me to this day.
Having said that, I'm quite glad I don't clean dunnies for a crust anymore. That shit was gross.

The post 4 Tips for Success (And 1 Freakin' Cool Dawg) appeared first on Rebel Zen.]]>
(Yeah I know, that link is some pretty dorky shit. You might like to forget about that and pretend instead that this freakin' cool dog is the font from which the following wisdom did spout…)
1. Plan to survive:
Eat well. Whole foods. Minimise sugar, wheat & dairy.
Drugs. Avoid them. Minimal alcohol & coffee. No smoke.
Sleep. Get enough. No laptops at night.
Exercise. Get enough. Mix it up.
Stress. Avoid it. Meditate.
Happiness. Be grateful. Serve others. Be mindful around people.
Keep the wolves from the door. Then shoot for the moon.
Persist. Stay clear about goals. Keep at it.
2. Focus:
Decide what is essential.
Just do that.
Stop doing other shit.
3. Build an awesome team:
Only the best people.
People who you love to work with.
People with talent and drive.
4. Never grow complacent:
Once something works to bring success, keep doing it.
Don't let down your guard.
All sounds like good horse-sense to me… but the trick is following through!
"Ideas are commodity. Execution of them is not."
Michael Dell said that apparently. It's my favourite quote.

The post 4 Tips for Success (And 1 Freakin' Cool Dawg) appeared first on Rebel Zen.]]>
The post The Simple Truth About Getting What You Want appeared first on Rebel Zen.]]>
"Ideas are commodity. Execution of them is not."
This quote, by Michael Dell of Dell computer fame, is now my official motto. For too many years I have had a tendency to think and dream and plan and then re-think, re-plan. Sure, I eventually move, often in sudden bursts of enthusiasm, but really I think the true do-ers in this world are the ones that see real results happen for them.
For example, when I look at bands or artists or actors or the like, it is very often obvious to me that it is not purely their talent that has helped them scale the heights of success but rather it is their drive, their determination and their bias for action. While it's true that we need focus, that busyness in and of itself is not enough (without focus we tend to open too many fronts without making enough progress in any one area), it is also true that those who just have or find a lot of energy and get their hustle on are the ones who are most likely to get what they want.
And to some extent, life is about getting what we want. While your philosophical nature might lead you to want more than a life that is all about go-getting, even this sentiment is also a statement of what you want! In fact most "thinkers", people (like me) who like to read and contemplate and chill, would say "yes" in a flash to a windfall of money because we imagine it takes away the stress of having to stop "just being" in order to go out and "just do".
I think that is why it is so important to "just do" the things that we love to do, and that we are good at. I don't particularly like doing bookwork, financial projections or anything to do with spreadsheets really – and as a result, I am hopeless at that kind of work. It's not that I don't have the raw mental horsepower to do the work – it's that I don't want to do it; I get bored and take far too long to get anything done. On the flipside, I really enjoy writing and can bash out a decent article in a couple of hours and a book in a couple of months.
A few years ago, after a very adventurous and exciting youth spent gallivanting all over the place having fun, working hard and generally running myself ragged, I "retired" to the Dandenong Ranges and began working from home, writing and bringing up some little kids and doing a lot more navel-gazing.
I have not been a complete hermit or anything and have certainly kept getting off the couch to go out and play gigs which is more than can be said for most musicians newly burdened with child rearing responsibilities. Not blaming them, it is a fucking hard thing, bringing kids up and the only SANE response is to drop as many superfluous responsibilities as possible to free up your energy. But I could not drop music, it is like water to me, I must drink or I die.
But having said that, I have still not been madly executing at the rate that I could have been and this is now my focus, I am pushing myself to execute my ideas – not too many of them just the good ones – and to make them happen. I think the time spent contemplating, experimenting and going deep to discover what I really need in this life to be happy was not time wasted, I am very clear about what I want but now this introspection is not so important for me. I know what I want, I know where I am going and the thing to do is stay focussed on what it is I want, my best ideas for making these things happen and what needs to be done to make it so.
And that's the crux of it, no matter what you want, you will always need to do things that you either don't like doing much or that on any given day at any given time, you don't feel like doing but you must push on and do it anyway. You must remember what your big picture desires are and put these above your little picture desires.
Our BPDs are the big goals, the big wants, the consistent things that you always come back to wanting.
For example in my life one of my biggest and most unflinching desires is to stand in front of big crowds again and sing my music with a band. This is happening; it is slowly coming true. Just this weekend past I stood before a crowd of 300 or more people with my band at a local festival as we rocked out our tunes. Two years ago I didn't have a band to do this with! So progress is being made – but it takes the strength of mind to remember what my Big Picture Desire is whenever I get run down and tired, or whenever I want to do things that just don't help the cause.
For example, it gets pretty damn cold up here in the mountains where we live and sometimes I hate the idea of going out after work into the cold and rehearsing of an evening when it is raining and I feel so very tired. But I remember that the LPD is to sit on the couch and chill, and that this gets me no closer to my BPD – and I get out and get to work.
Same goes for eating and drinking like a glutton. Truth be known I fight every day with a voice inside my head (the monkey mind) that says "Come on – let's eat! Let's drink! All the food! All the booze! Whoo—hooo!" – but if I did that I would be fat. And I don't think being fat particularly helps any of my Big Picture Desires – not my music desires, not my desires to live long and prosper, not my desire to feel good in my body – so I try to remember my BPDs and eat sensibly.
Same goes for "executing" which is just a business corporate way of saying "getting the plan done for real". It usually means a lot of work, it means getting it done when you would rather chill, it means just going with the plan instead of having fun inventing a new one. It means finishing things you start and not starting things that are distracting you from the path you decided to go down.
In closing, I think my opening paragraph bears repeating: More than ever I am convinced that success is very much about the ability to decide what you want, make a plan and then stop over-thinking it and just get busy making things happen – whether you feel like it or not.
So what are your Big Picture Desires? What are you going to make happen?

The post How To Experience A Mind-Blowing Meditation Everytime appeared first on Rebel Zen.]]>
Firstly – why is it so hard for you to access this positive realm, this internal garden of joy and abundance? Why is it that you have tried but had little or no meditation experiences that you would describe as "mind blowing"? Why do I find it so easy while so many people find it so impossibly hard?
Is it a skill that I am just naturally good at like someone might just be good at playing the piano or fixing things around the house? Or is it that for some reason it was in my nature to try really hard at meditation until it worked for me, and since then I have just known how to access this awesome state?
It is true that back in my 20's, for a year or two, I did work very hard at learning to meditate successfully. I like to learn by reading, and tend to avoid joining groups, so I read voraciously about meditation first. Eventually, I came to a point where I was like, "Ok, not going to learn much more by reading so better get into it and start meditating, start trying it out until it works for me".
So I began practicing and I found it very difficult. I couldn't sit cross legged comfortably (still can't, I usually sit on an exercise ball). I found my mind racing and discovered that I had never realized that my body was riddled with pain, so low was my awareness of my own body.
It was all very hard but I had nothing better to do, so I just decided to sit it out until I got there. I was chasing what all people who meditate chase, which is a sort of blissful state. That's what we want really, we want bliss. I wanted to feel good, and all the books said meditation could deliver that, so I sat.
And I sat.
And I sat.
I had no kids, no girlfriend, no job.
So I just sat a lot, sometimes for most of the day and night. And for ages, nothing. But then eventually: Boom! I got there.
And boy, did it feel good!
And then I would come back and it would be real hard to do but I would eventually get there again. And, over time, I learned that I could get there if I applied gentle discipline to my mind. After an initial period of allowing my mind to sort of unwind by thinking a lot, I would quite my imaginative mind by just paying attention to whatever was happening, to whatever my senses were picking up on in real time. I learned to stop judging things as good or bad. And this is the secret, stop labeling things as good or bad and just "let go", stop judging everything as either "like" or "dislike". When you do this, it's like you have passed the test and you are granted access and allowed to slip into this altered state of mind, where you return to the truth and remember that everything is cool, that life is wonderful, and that we are all one.
"We are all one" sounds so stupid and meaningless when you are just in a normal state of mind, but when you arrive back home, back to the Garden of Feeling Awesome, you sort of "know" what it actually, deeply means. In a wordless way, you can feel that it is true and that everything is just perfect.
And then you get up and go back to your day-to-day life and sometimes you're a chilled out dude … and sometimes not! That's life – but when you meditate successfully, regularly, you are definitely more of a chilled dude, more often than if you didn't meditate.
If you want more info, there are two ebooks in my store that explain my personal method for meditating, both describe the same method, so whatever benefits you seek from meditation the books will help.

The post The Power of Inconsistency appeared first on Rebel Zen.]]>
If you have an introspective nature and a commitment to doing the Inner Work, you may become aware that you have, to some degree or another, an incredible propensity for inconsistency.
I sure know I have.
The thing is for many years, I beat myself up over this. I still do actually, but less so as I am learning three things:
There is a trend in Silicon Valley type start-up culture to celebrate failure. Basically the idea goes that failing is a part of being a gung-ho entrepreneur in the making, so go and break things, and once you've failed a few times you might just go and win at something.
I kind of agree actually, especially as it applies to personal development. And I think the same applies to being inconsistent.
If you look back at the careers of your favourite artists, be they musicians, painters, whatever, it is very normal for their output to be easily categorised (according to taste and/or commercial success) on a sliding scale from Great to Shithouse. It's actually kind of expected, in fact, that all great artists will be kind of inconsistent, if not in output volume then at least in quality.
Same goes for businesses – a good example being Google, whose product range and output has been huge over the last decade or so, and has included total duds and runaway successes.
Regular readers of this blog may have noticed that a few months ago I made a bit of noise about rolling out a new commercial arm to the Rebel Zen website. I spent many, many hours planning and writing and reworking the website to integrate my marketing skills into the concept of the brand, catering to creative people. After knocking myself out getting it ready over an extended period of time, I launched. And I asked for feedback.
Most of the feedback I got was positive, but I got one email from a long-time reader, Manny, who gave me a blunt opinion that what I done made Rebel Zen seem like it had a split-personality and that this wasn't a good thing.
I respectfully thanked Manny for the opinion, but kind of brushed it off.
But then over the next couple of weeks, now that I was able to look at the work with a little perspective (not being all caught up in delivering it), I just couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. It just wasn't quite right.
To my horror, the feeling only grew stronger.
Eventually I came to agree with Manny's comments. There was nothing unsound about the idea of helping creative people with their marketing –
but it just didn't seem to belong as a part of Rebel Zen. It looked to me like an extra arm grafted onto an otherwise healthy body.
I left it a while to give myself time to think about it. Then I got really annoyed about it for a while and avoided it altogether. And then I pulled it. Just wiped it offthe site like it never happened.
And that's ok. It was just a step in the creative journey.
The end result is that I feel really clear about what Rebel Zen actually is and is not going forward and about the importance of sending single, clear signals out there for maximum impact.
Like I said, I used to bash myself up a lot about being inconsistent. But now I am more selective about the areas in which I focus on improving my ability to be consistent while allowing myself full licence to be erratic as I want to be in others, creative process being one of them.
In the end the things you've started that are worth finishing wait for you. The trick is to get them done of course, but eventually I do. And if I am a little inconsistent in my ways along the journey, well, I don't think that matters – to an extent. Obviously if you are constantly erratic, never finishing anything at all, then this isn't going to work out too well. But if you're a creative person, then you're not a robot. If you start five paintings (or songs or businesses) and only finish one – but that one is amazing, then does it matter?
Michael Jordan said that his secret for shooting so many points was taking more shots at the basket than anyone else.
I think it was him anyway, but I'm not sure … I quite consistently avoid all sport like the plague!

The post How To Discover Your Super Power appeared first on Rebel Zen.]]>
Well, I believe you do have such a Super Power. I believe we all do – each and every one of us.
I believe that, on a sliding scale, we all have a big bunch of attributes that are very weak in us, and a lot that are very average in us. We also have a smaller group of attributes that we are much stronger in than most people. Finally, at the top of the scale, we have one big daddy Super Power: a truly amazing personal attribute with which, if we identify and utilise wisely, we can realise our full potential and do great things in this life.
I have finally figured out mine, it's taken me some time and a lot of inner work. Maybe the story of how I did will help you to figure out what your Super power is…
I told a strange story a little while back, about how, after an intense massage administrated by a very New age hippy guy out in the suburbs of Melbourne, I had a trippy encounter with a group of extra-terrestrial / spiritual beings.
When I had the encounter, which took place in the shadowy realm where the divide between the imagination and the "real" become very blurred, the head-honcho alien, who I like to call Grandmaster Mu (for the sake of convenience and because the name tickles me) said something odd to me. Looking down at me as I lay on my bed, with his cohorts gathered around behind looking over his shoulder, he said something like: "You are afraid of your own Power."
He and his mates then proceeded to give me a kind of "metaphysical tune up" while I slept (they asked my permission and started working as I drifted off), purportedly to fix the issue, mentioning to me that it would take some time and some work. In the years since they have revisited me during meditations or just before I sleep to continue the work.
This was all very well, but of course I have been mystified by what this wonderful "Power" that I supposedly possess is! I made a lot of guesses (see original Grandmaster Mu article), but they neglected to mention it by name. I now think this would be because when people discover insights about themselves and about life without being told directly, they realise them much more deeply.
In my Tarot work, I have also repeatedly received the Tarot card 4 of Cups in which a young man sitting under a tree in contemplation is being handed a magic cup, which to me always represented the opportunity provided by possessing a special gift or Power … but still … no idea what the super power specifically is!
Well, I'd been able to make plenty of guesses, without blowing my own trumpet I am not short on talents (or failings!) but I had the feeling the power in question underlies these technical skills, like singing or writing or what-have-you.
I actually haven't spent THAT much time thinking about it, for while I may entertain visits from aliens here and there, I do actually live a functional life in "the real world" and accordingly spend most of my time happily and appropriately dealing with that. However I have recently been reading a lot of Richard Koch who writes about the 80/20 principal in some depth, as it applies not only to business but to life in general.
One thing that Koch mentions a lot is discovering your 20%; the "powers" or personal attributes that you possess that are so strong in you that when you leverage them you get far greater results than you do from the other 80% of attributes that are not as strong in you. I have spent some time thinking about this and it was not too hard for me to come up with a shortlist of my strengths and positive attributes. But one concept that sits inside the (very fractal) 80/20 principal is that within the 20% there is another 20%, and within that 20% there is another 20%, and so on.
So without getting too hung up on exact percentages, this logically leads you to think that out of a limited set of powers, there must be one power that we all posses which is our Super Power – that is to say, you are SO good at something, one thing in particular, that if you focus your energies on this you will surely hit some home runs.
So again this got me thinking: "What the hell is my Super Power?" I looked at my shortlist of Powers but it was not immediately obvious to me which one stood out above all the others. So I put it aside and went on with my life.
But the unconscious (or is it the sub-conscious? I am not sure which) is a powerful thing and a pro-active servant. While we sleep and drive and work and play and hustle and bustle and fuss the sub-conscious is busy mulling over things and searching through the vast databases of the brain and the even vaster Universal database – the primordial soup that we swim in – until it comes up with an answer. Then it patiently waits for an opportune moment when your conscious brain is having a rest to bubble the answer up for your conscious consideration.
And this is what happened to me recently when I was meditating. I hadn't thought about the Super Power thing for a week or two, but on this particular morning, after meditating for just a couple of minutes – Pop! Up it came! The answer, if you please, on a silver platter!
Suddenly, I just knew what my Super Power is. Funny thing was, "it" wasn't even on my short list, but as soon as I saw/heard the answer in my mind, I just knew. Of course! So obvious once I consciously knew!
I have no doubt that if I concentrate my efforts on this Super Power of mine then I will be able to exercise massive leverage in all my ventures.
It is now clear to me why Grandmaster Mu said I was fearful of my power. Looking back, I can see that I was for some time very fearful of my power, specifically due to a horrible, violent assault that I was the victim of some years ago. I always laughed it off (once I had recovered and was back on my feet) but in reality I can see it shocked me and caused me to be afraid.
But, even without knowing exactly what the issue was, I have been much less fearful since Grandmaster Mu and his gang did their "tune up" and have been unconsciously utilising my Super Power much more confidently. From here on, I know I will need to be careful not to abuse my power, but never fearful – fear is a dead-end.
Now, I apologise – you have read this far – but I am not going to tell you what my Super Power is! I am sorry if this disappoints you but we must not dilute our powers by blabbing about them!
However, I wrote this to encourage you to find your own Super Power. I can't give you the exact formula for doing so, but I would encourage you to do a lot of deep conscious introspection to get the ball rolling. Then allow time and space for the unconscious mind to do its job.
Make sure you meditate and spend enough time relaxing and if possible, spend time in nature on a regular basis – not just barbecuing meat and drinking beer but walking, sitting and allowing your mind to settle without too much talking or activity.
It may take a long time, but keep searching, and the answers will come.
Good luck!

The post The Yes Meditation: How To Empower Yourself To Be Awesome appeared first on Rebel Zen.]]>
I was sitting there, watching my mind, just being aware of my thoughts, waiting for them to settle down, when I caught myself thinking negatively. And I was suddenly struck, not for the first time, by how deeply negative my "tapes" are sometimes (all the time? Not sure…). The truth is, even though I am a relatively positive-minded guy, certainly inherently optimistic, I still regularly think things and then just quickly negate them. I usually do this without being conscious that I am doing it.
Over the last couple of years, due to my work with Tarot and my meditation and personal development work, I have become aware of this and have made some inroads into catching myself playing these negative tapes in my mind and, when I do notice I'm doing it, transmuting the thought into its positive opposite. I think it has had a remarkable affect in my wellbeing.
But I have not yet completely quashed the bad habit, and today, as I was settling into a meditation, I suddenly caught myself thinking: "Oh no, I couldn't do that, that's not me. No, that's not possible" in response to some creative thought that had popped into my mind just prior.
So to counter-act this I just started meditating in the energy of "Yes" and it was awesome.
It's laughably simple but it worked so well for me. All I did was start repeating: "Yes, I am…" and then filling in the blanks with whatever came to mind. I kind of imagined I was in a meditation class – a really weird meditation class – where everyone in the circle was me! And our teacher had asked us to go around the circle repeating and finishing off the statement with whatever came up.
"Yes, I am … awesome"
"Yes, I am … capable."
"Yes, I am … loveable."
"Yes, I am … wonderfully successful."
"Yes, I am … going to have a great day."
Just whatever positive stuff came up. (Writing now, I wonder what would have happened in that imaginary class if I'd come up with something bummed out like "Yes, I am a total loser" but that didn't happen.)
It was fantastically empowering. And I am going to do it regularly because I think we all owe it to ourselves to reprogram our negative sub-conscious programming. It's not just self-help hocus-pocus, it's a very real influence on our conscious state of mind and day-to-day experiences of wellbeing. It takes self-discipline and work to fix our minds, but we can do it.
So here's the practice in two steps:
1 – Do the Yes Meditation regularly. But probably not on the toilet, refer to next step for explanation of the above toilet reference.
2 – Try and catch yourself repeating those subterranean negative programs, that limiting self-talk, and deliberately affirm the positive opposite.
A good time is when you are on the toilet.
I know that sounds weird but often it's one of the few times we get any peace, and so when I enter the little room, I like to take a deep breathe and, you know, release, and sort of hear my own thinking. Often, I will then realise that I have been neurotically repeating negative bullshit thoughts to myself. When I this happens, I clock what it is I was saying, what negative thought I was affirming and I overwrite it by simply repeating the positive opposite a few times while I finish my business.

Not Even Grimm's Actors Can Save Three Days of Rain from Itself
Everyone in San Andreas Dies Except for the Rock
Tomorrow's the Malt Ball! Yes, indeed, and since you are coming (you are coming, get your tickets here) we're continuing with the final installment in our gripping and suspenseful weeklong series, Get to Know the Malt Ball Bands! (Don't miss a single installment: Part I is here, and Part II is here.)
We've got four more bands to tell you about in this stirring conclusion, but don't forget to check out our own handy beer-and-band guide, PLUS the Oregon Brewers Guild has even more info about the beers that'll be pouring tomorrow. They've also got a list of the sandwiches that the People's Sandwich of Portland will have available—each one is named after a band!
Click the jump for profiles on Weinland, Denver, Stay Calm, and Archers.
Outlaw country band Denver are the real deal. This isn't city-slicker cornpone posing. Take a listen and hear the echoes of country's raw, dangerous past—something that's in short supply in Nashville these days. Guess it takes the ragged forests and mountains of the Northwest to inject some real fire back into country music. Not that you should take this as any kind of recommendation, but Denver sounds damn fine after a few, or a few too many. Denver hits the stage at 6:45 pm.

Young members of Aung San Suu Kyi's opposition party seek louder voice
Published on Jul 5, 2014 3:08 PM
YANGON (AFP) - Aung San Suu Kyi's Myanmar opposition party faced calls to inject new blood into its ageing top ranks as it opened a landmark conference on Saturday dedicated to its youth wing.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner's National League for Democracy (NLD), founded after a bloody crackdown on a failed popular uprising in 1988, is preparing for key parliamentary elections next year that could sweep it to power.
Maung Maung Oo, one of the organisers of the meeting of about 150 opposition party members aged 16 to 35 - the first of its kind - said the aim was "to promote a new generation of leaders".
"Not only our party, but the whole country faces a generation gap," he told AFP.
