No, I can't seem to blog lately. Aside from being too busy, I've been a black mass of negative emotions shot through with nostalgia.
So I'll just take a little time off until I have time to sort out my own thoughts, and put them down in words, on my own terms, in my own time.
Seems like the people around me are getting married, having kids, hooking up with new partners, settling down. In a way, that scares me, because I'm starting to feel old, something I've not really had any reason to worry about previously.
Also, a friend from Curtin, whom I've not seen in years, has been battling cancer for almost two years. He's currently getting a stem-cell transplant, which also happens to be his last chance at beating the cancer that seems to be insistent on colonizing and destroying his body. Spoke to him recently, felt a little heartbroken and helpless wishing I could say more to him than what he's probably heard from everyone, and felt more painfully aware of my own mortality than I have in yonks.
All in all, yeah, I need to catch my breath a bit, and think harder about what I really want in life. Time seems to be running out, all of a sudden.
Every Morning Should Be A Blessing

A Home is Not Just A House
It's now 8.30am. I've been up since before 7.
I've managed to drive myself home, packed my things, clean house a bit, and then shower, after spending the night at a very drunk turtle's house, not out of an altruistic need to take care of him, but because the churning in my stomach indicated that I'd had to much to drink myself (actually had quite a fair bit more than him, due to being utter shite at playing drinking games lol), and would benefit from a R & R at his house until the sensation of bloatedness went away.
Didn't want a repeat of what happened the last time I tried driving home with a funny tummy from too much alcohol. I never made it home. Pulled up in front of a friend's house halfway, to throw up all over his driveway, and spent the rest of the night feeling very miserable because of the wasted very expensive steak dinner that'd made a reappearance all over said driveway.
But I digress. I'm tip-tapping here on Blogger at this hour, because I'm sitting here feeling vaguely subdued, because today marks the end my five-night "house-sitting" stint, and I feel like I've nowhere to really go home to.
I quite like this house I've been spending my nights away from home in, because it reminds me of the house I used to rent when I was in Miri. Small, practical, simple, in a slightly desolated neighbourhood. Quiet. With only myself for company.
It's not as lonely as it sounds. All those years of living away from home has made me appreciate the silence of an empty house. Coming back was traumatising, never managed to get used to the constant chatter and suddenly explosive rages of my mother.
A friend offered her house, which would be vacant for a few days while she went on a much needed holiday, knowing how miserable I was getting, and this house-sitting stint was more an excuse to escape all the chaos and sound of home than anything else. I feel almost like I'm regaining some semblance of sanity, without the constant noise and the angry accusations and admonishments of home.
How is it, that my own home doesn't feel like home? This almost feels like I'm running away from home again, never mind the reasons I give to make it seem like otherwise.

So very.

I know I am very OCD and very annoying sometimes because of that, but it really does hurt that you just snap at me when all I've been trying to do is think ahead a few steps so I can come up with some semblance of a solution a little earlier... Because I like having solutions on hand instead of feeling utterly lost without any idea on how to proceed.
Maybe having an over-active potty-mouth connected to a neurotic worrisome brain isn't the very best combination for your strained patience sometimes, but I thought you knew me enough already to understand that I wasn't trying to get on your nerves.
Maybe a little silence on my part would be beneficial.
Feeling subdued and distinctly untalkative now.

I Know Idealism Isn't Quite Me, But...
So far work's been a stressful, exhilarating, exciting, scary, exhausting, informative experience. I've been grinning like a Chesire cat throughout, despite the somewhat steep learning curve - I've not once felt the tedious boredom that has been consuming me for the better part of a year in all these weeks, and all this knowledge to absorb so quickly has kick-started my dormant brain-cells into working over-time.
Was always terrified of the dearth of creativity and the shortage of new things to learn about, and with all this flurry of activity and planning and writing and more planning and phone-calls and meet-ups and finding out about the little details and the behind-the-scene things of mundane matters that I never thought much about I'm bouncing around in stressed-out overjoyed mania.
And all this, just doing free-lance work which doesn't feel much like work, just a session in applying known skills to practical use. I start a salaried job next week, which I'm very sure will be highly stressful and not quite as fun - it's in events, for a club, but I've reasons (which I won't elaborate on in case I pull a Dooce) to think that I'll probably earn myself some tongue-lashing in due time, but I'm so excited to start!
I know I sound remarkably like an over-enthusiastic, idealistic greenhorn, and I'm aware things won't always be such a positive experience, but for a long time in my life there's been no aim and no self-satisfaction in the things I've been doing, and right now, things have taken a hundred-eighty degree turn and I've been happier than I've been in a long time.
Or maybe this is just the other end of the spectrum of my very variable mood-swings (this week-long crazy-happy-meth-high-esque headiness confirms that suspicion), but like I've always said, the mania bit of my bipolar disorder has always been the most agreeable silver lining of my affliction.
I must say though, my IBS doesn't quite agree with all this excitement. I get really bad rumbly tummy before AND after meetings, the former from apprehension at the outcome, and the latter probably from the relief PLUS the worry from the new issue of how to proceed from then on. Even a controlled diet doesn't quite prevent the incidences of running to the toilet with my guts almost spilling out anymore.
Hot, hazy weather's making me feel ill too. Started getting migraines on my first day because of the unbelievably humid, dusty conditions, and then very bad nausea and dizziness. Took a day off on Wednesday (the turtle was a bit appalled at how flexitime my hours were in comparison to his nine-to-five slavery) to rest, because my backache was beginning to flare up again - nothing too unexpected, it makes for a constant companion for the insomnia that comes with every one of my manic episodes.
However, for all that, I can safely say that I'm as happy as happy can be, for lack of better ways to express this pure, unadulterated joy filling every molecule of my being.
Because between learning new stuff, and snuggling up to the turtle, and enjoying socialising with the fun, funny, interesting people in my life, I've been nothing but the happiest girl in the world lately.
Feels like a long way from the girl so depressed she couldn't even bring herself to crawl out of bed.
Today, I can honestly say that I love my life, and am happily making it known here - even if a happy post appeals less to you web-voyeurs than a miserable, self-pitying one, fuck if I care, just feeling too crazy cheerful. =D

Today, Irene Be Sappy
Sounds corny, hun, but all I need from you is your love.
It's been a pretty tumultuous first year, but so far it's looking pretty good.
I love you, every day, even when I'm moody and snappy and prone to inexplicable incidents of letting loose with the copious water-works.
I know there's many a time when you watch me helplessly and wring you hands in bewildered incomprehension, all the while wondering if this relationship with this crazy, emotional-wreck of a pampered princess' actually worth it.
I'm actually quite glad you mostly choose to stick around until I'm worn out from yet another hysterical bipolar episode, with your quiet comforting hugs awaiting me when I'm finally all cried-out and in need of a cuddle. And I've never said it to you before, but I do feel very bad all the time at subjecting you to all that shit... I'm just so sorry I'm not very good at keeping all that under control yet.
You've been the best boyfriend ever, hands down - I can't even think of any other guy I've ever dated that would come over my place (without me asking) after I'd just had a job interview (and leaving the all-important DotA session early at that!) to be there for me, to give me a congratulatory hug should the outcome be favourable, or offer a shoulder to cry on should it not quite work out. So supportive!
And that's just one example why you're so awesome. I'd like to list out the hundred and one reasons why you rock here in this post, but I think this is about as mushy as most of my readers can tolerate, and I don't want them boycotting this blog for fear of suffering PDA-overload here, so I'll uh... leave them unsaid here on public domain. I'll tell you when I see you again, OK?
Tomorrow's our anniversary. It's been one year, and then some, if you count in all the months you were in love with a troubled commitment-phobe who gave you every excuse under the sun not to be in a relationship with you, despite enjoying your company all the while. We've had some false starts, major dramarama, and almost-catastrophic misunderstandings, but all's good now.
I know I tell you this every morning when you give me my morning call, but... I love you, hun. More and more and MORE with every passing day. You've been the only person who's managed to make me feel so crazily deliriously in love consistently - even after so many months! Looking forward to the next three-hundred-and-sixty-five days of bliss by your side, hun... I'm hoping that life with you will be even more awesome!

"Can you tell me, what is it you want in life? You've never answered me when I asked you that."
"Heh. Haven't you realised it yet? My needs are simple enough. I just want to be happy."
"That's it? 哈哈,你的要求真的太低。"
"I assume you wanted to hear me say that I desire wealth and success? Of course I do, to a certain extent. But I've met some people who've done nothing but spend years and years chasing after those things. Not to say that they were unsuccessful. But sometimes it's an endless chase that doesn't bring as much happiness or contentment as you'd expect."
"Most people are chasing after something to that effect."
"Maybe wealth and success are the things that bring contentment to some. Maybe those are their priorities in life. There's nothing wrong there, different people find self-satisfaction in different things. I just think that after so many years of being so sad, I deserve to be happy now."
"Maybe you're right. But you'll someday find out that without money or power, people will treat you as if you were nothing."
And I thought I was the cynical one.
I have no idea how to alleviate the tense atmosphere here - the bitterness and the rage at the injustice of how things are hangs in the air like a bad smell.
I want to tell her, sometimes we have to learn to let go of things that cannot be changed, insignificant things that won't make a difference in the comfortable existences we already are living.
Maybe it's just naivete on her part, but blood is not thicker than water. Your family are the people who genuinely care about your welfare, and not a feigned concerned acted out for their own benefit.
Why bother to push so hard for things that won't make you happy, or for acceptance amongst those whom you have always resented?
Flippantly, I tell her, "So let me be a happy nobody then."

My parents are annoying as hell sometimes, but on days like today, they're just too cute.
Mrs. Chan's been sick with cough, runny nose, and fever since she got back from China. Mr. Chan has been insisting that she's somehow managed to contract the H1N1 virus there. The ensuing conversation occurred whilst she was trying sleep off her illness:
"You're sick. If your fever gets any worse you best go to the hospital. Swine flu can kill if just left too long to its own devices."
"If I die you can just find a new wife. You're so lengjai, that shouldn't be a problem."
"Only NOW you call me lengjai. Isn't that like thirty years too late already?"
Few minutes later, after trying to persuade her to seek medical attention and getting scolded for his efforts:
"You Cantonese people very garang. Mouth very bad one."
"Isn't it a bit too late for you to come to that realisation?"
And their daughter watches on in detached bemusement LOL.

The Musical Shift
Something's happening. I remember my first blog how I wrote about how I started looking into rock music because I didn't get to do it before as I was going along with what everyone around me was listening to.
I've noticed something recently, how I seem to be going away from it even more. Some songs my sisters like that I used to like I don't like anymore. Some I still do. Ever since I started listening to Nu Metal and some symphonic metal it seems to have taken me away a bit just that little bit more.
Well, I haven't looked into other Nu Metal bands that much but I have looked at is Slipknot and I like their All Hope is Gone album. I have already heard and liked some Linkin Park songs before I was properly listening to other types of rock/metal. I've heard are some songs that I liked from the Blackout. I have looked at symphonic metal bands such as Within Temptation, Nightwish and Kamelot where some of their songs I liked. Most music I listen to now though happen to be Korn and Nightwish at the moment. I am still exploring though. I'm sure I'll get more soon.

An Israeli amusement park acknowledged that it was renting out its facilities on separate days for Jewish and Arab school trips, but said it was at the schools' request.
Superland, in central Israel's Rishon LeZion, said in a statement issued Thursday that some Israeli junior and senior high schools booking end-of-the-year student fun days requested that events for Jewish and Arab schools be held on different days. Requests came from both sectors, the park said, and it followed through by setting aside a few separate days in June for the Jewish and Arab schools.
The segregation came to light after a seventh-grade teacher at an Arab school posted on his Facebook page that he had been unable to book a particular date using his own name, but that when he called and identified himself by a Jewish name he was able to secure the date.
Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni reportedly asked Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein to decide whether Superland was discriminating against Arab students in the wake of the discovery.

ST. LOUIS -- In the final road non-conference contest of the season, Indiana State dropped an 83-66 decision at Saint Louis in front of 7,205 fans inside Chaifetz Arena. The Sycamores had their four-game winning streak snapped and fell to 7-3 while Saint Louis improved to 10-2. Indiana State was led in scoring by 16 points from Manny Arop, who went 7-of-12 from the field while Justin Gant and Khristian Smith each poured in 12. ISU hit 24-of-50 shots from the field (48.0 percent) against one of the toughest defenses in the NCAA. The Sycamores hit 14-of-26 shots in the second half (53.8 percent). Saint Louis owned a 34-22 edge in rebounding, which netted a 15-4 advantage for the Billikens in second-chance points. Jake Odum hit three free throws in the contest to give him 460 for his career and ties him with John Sherman Williams for second-most in the history of the program. Odum is now just 83 made free throws behind Larry Bird for the school record. He now has 1,249 career points and moved into 16th on the Sycamore scoring charts. The Sycamores were whistled for 29 fouls in the contest as compared to 21 on Saint Louis. SLU hit 27-of-34 from the charity stripe (79.4 percent) while ISU was 15-of-21 (71.4 percent). Manny Arop led off the scoring in the contest with a long jumper just under a minute into things to take a 2-0 lead. Saint Louis went on to score the next eight points before Demetrius Moore and Khristian Smith scored consecutively to get the Sycamores within 8-5 at the 15:34 mark. A lay-up by Dwayne Evans staked the Billikens to a 23-12 lead with 8:33 on the clock before Justin Gant sparked a 7-0 spurt for the Sycamores which was capped with an Arop trey with 6:23 remaining to draw Indiana State within 23-19. Arop continued his strong offensive performance with a conventional 3-point play at the 5:55 mark to draw the Sycamores within 24-22. With 4:24 on the clock, Khristian Smith drained a jumper to cut the Billiken cushion down to just two points after a SLU charity toss, a steal and conventional 3-point play from Jake Odum with 2:07 left in the opening half knotted the score at 27. Saint Louis finished the first half on a 7-0 run and Smith's last second heave from near mid-court bounced off the back of the iron and the Sycamores found themselves down 34-27 at the break. Arop led Indiana State with 12 pts in the first half. Gant scored first for the Sycamores in the second half to cut the Saint Louis lead down to 34-29. After a Cummings jumper at the 19:11 mark, the Billikens rattled off four points in a row to take a 40-31 lead and forced a Sycamore timeout. Gant and Devonte Brown then each converted conventional 3-point plays with 15:30 remaining to draw Indiana State within 43-39. A pair of Saint Louis 3-pointers got the Billiken advantage back out to 10 points but Khristian Smith stopped the bleeding with a conventional 3-point play with just over 13 minutes remaining to get within 49-42. Arop made it five consecutive points for the Sycamores on the next possession to get within 49-44. Saint Louis would go on to take a 64-51 lead with 6:19 remaining in the contest before Odum converted a conventional 3-point play in transition to get the Sycamores within 64-54 with just over six minutes to go. Smith would go on to answer a 5-0 Billiken run with a triple from the left corner to get back to within 69-57 with five minutes left on the clock. Odum converted a driving lay-up with 3:28 on the clock to get the Sycamores within 74-60. Dwayne Evans scored 24 points to lead Saint Louis, on the strength of a 16-of-20 performance from the free throw line. Four different Billikens reached double figures scoring. Indiana State returns home to Hulman Center on Saturday, December 21 when the Sycamores face off against IUPUI at 3:35 p.m. (ET).

Midweek Break at Royal Esplanade Hotel, Ryde
An article by Simon No comments yet
Although a very old fashioned hotel, the atmosphere as soon as we arrived in reception gives us a really good feeling as we were met by really friendly staff on reception that were quick to get us checked in and to our room.
The staff were very much on the ball, the waiters and waitresses were happy to serve you and always remembered if you had tea or coffee, a little thing but all done with huge smiles which makes all the difference.
The food was really good, all very tasty and an excellent variety, each plate or dish looked great, the room was large and comfortable even being old fashioned this added to the character of the hotel, everything you needed was there, wonderful views from our room of the hover craft and bay.
The hotel is in easy reach of all the places to visit, a great place to have a walk after you evening meal. We went on the Isle of Wight steam railway during our visit which was really nice; a pleasant was to spend a few hours. We also visited Carisbrooke Castle which at £6.80 each we thought was reasonable and interestingly was where King Charles I was imprisoned.
The dining room was very well laid out with great staff that knew how to run it, well done to the manager for running the hotel so well and keeping happy smiley staff which was nice as we have been too many places where the staff don't seem interested in their jobs.
Thinking of visiting the Isle of Wight? Why not have a look at Bay Royal Esplanade Hotel, Ryde
We would like to thank John and Judith Hall for taking the time to write this blog post.

Saybrook University
That sudden, awful, impulse you just had might mean something after all07/28/2009
Let's admit it: we've all had some really bad impulses.
Shouting at a lecturer, running in traffic, stealing an inadvisable kiss … who hasn't had a sudden, mad, urge to do the unthinkable?
It's a basic fact of human life, and once again evolutionary psychology is claiming to have explained it. Turns out, it's a survival mechanism. Who would have guessed?
In a recent paper published in Science, Harvard researches say these urges are "ironic processes of control" that help us tame our anti-social impulses.
"These monitoring processes keep us watchful for errors of thought, speech, and action and enable us to avoid the worst thing in most situations," the authors write.
In a post on the New York Times' "Mind" blog, author Benedict Carey expanded on the idea that these self-destructive impulses evolved as a way of helping us manage our anti-social tendencies.
Perverse impulses seem to arise when people focus intensely on avoiding specific errors or taboos. The theory is straightforward: to avoid blurting out that a colleague is a raging hypocrite, the brain must first imagine just that; the very presence of that catastrophic insult, in turn, increases the odds that the brain will spit it out.
"We know that what's accessible in our minds can exert an influence on judgment and behavior simply because it's there, it's floating on the surface of consciousness," said Jamie Arndt, a psychologist at the University of Missouri.
So there you go, question answered, problem solved, right?
Maybe – unless you actually want to actually understand what's going on in your mind, with your thoughts, and your impulses. Then this theory has absolutely nothing to tell you.
In fact, says Saybrook faculty member Kirk Schneider, it's a classic example of what Rollo May, in his book Psychology and the Human Dilemma, called "turning mountains into mole hills."
Don Moss new President-Elect for the APA's Society on Hypnosis07/28/2009
Don Moss, Saybrook's Mind-Body Medicine program director, has been elected President of Division 30 of the American Psychological Association for the term of 2010 – 2011.
Division 30 is the Society of Psychological Hypnosis.
The election is one more example of Saybrook's long leadership in the American Psychological Association's divisions as well as in the field of mind-body medicine and hypnosis.
The current President of Division 30 is Saybrook faculty member Eric Willmarth, whose term expires in 2010. Willmarth also received the American Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis' Presidential Recognition Award this year.
From spiritual questions to daunting medical challenges: alumni scholarship support student research07/28/2009
Saybrook PhD student Erica Hamilton wants to create a multi-dimensional model for addressing a painful women's medical condition. PhD student Les Ernst wants to interview spiritual directors across the U.S. to study how they teach people to discern an authentic spiritual experience.
Both of them will be able to complete these ambitious dissertations, thanks to support from the Saybrook Alumni Association.
This month the Alumni Association named Ernst and Hamilton its 2009 scholarship winners.
The $8,000 scholarships, begun last year, are awarded annually to two PhD students, in any Saybrook program, who have completed their coursework and are looking for funding to help complete their dissertation.
Saybrook Alumni Director George Aiken says there were nearly 20 essay and candidacy level doctoral students who applied, and that all of them were highly qualified.
Survey says: Ritalin doesn't work06/02/2009
If the scientific establishment didn't have ADHD, this is the sort of thing they would be paying attention to: a long-term study recently completed by the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH) showed that there are few-to-no long term benefits for treating children with ADHD with Ritalin.
According to the NIMH report:
The eight-year follow-up revealed no differences in symptoms or functioning among the youths assigned to the different treatment groups as children. This result suggests that the type or intensity of a one-year treatment for ADHD in childhood does not predict future functioning.
A majority (61.5 percent) of the children who were medicated at the end of the 14-month trial had stopped taking medication by the eight-year follow-up, suggesting that medication treatment may lose appeal with families over time. The reasons for this decline are under investigation, but they nevertheless signal the need for alternative treatments.
And, perhaps most importantly:
Children who were no longer taking medication at the eight-year follow-up were generally functioning as well as children who were still medicated.
These are the kind of results that humanistic psychologists have been predicting for some time, and humanistic psychology can be excused an exasperated sigh when it reads that the NIMH now thinks that the actual symptoms of individual children might be the most important factor they present with, as noted below:
The researchers also speculate that a child's initial clinical presentation, including ADHD symptom severity, behavior problems, social skills and family resources, may predict how they will function as teens more so than the type of treatment they received.
The wonderful, weird, worrying future of employment06/02/2009
For a generation of new college graduates, the future is not what they expected.
It had seemed so easy: get a BA, go get a job at an investment bank or a big company, make lots of money and the rest would take care of itself.
But "the rest" didn't take care of itself – and as industry after industry has been roiled by social and technological change, there is an increasing drumbeat that "there has to be a better way" to handle work. "The future of work" is big news in the media, even a Time Magazine cover story last week.
Meanwhile, the easy future is no longer an option. According to a terrifying report from ABC News, only 20% of new BA's are finding a full-time job right after college. As these students try to piece together a healthy economic life with the tools they have, they are the unwilling vanguard into the new economy.
But what will the future of work look like? What trends will be most important, what skills will be valued, and what will a "day at the office" look like?
Kathia Laszlo, a Saybrook faculty member in Organizational Systems, says that much of the current chaos in the economy comes from the fact that "We have created an artificial separation between work, learning and life."
Tell your Saybrook story - on video!06/02/2009
Saybrook invites all interested students to take 3 minutes at the June RC and tell the world something about themselves
Almost every Saybrook student has a story to tell – and one way Saybrook stands out from other institutions is the quality of its students.
Saybrook students are often already professionally successful and personally accomplished: many seek higher education so that they can have a greater impact on the world. They tend to have unconventional ideas and an intimate knowledge of how much their profession needs unconventional ideas. They understand that quantitative thinking is never a substitute for qualitative thinking. In short, they're looking for more than a grade or a credential: they're looking for an education.
In an effort to get to know its students better, and to better present its students to the world, all interested students are invited to "tell their story" to our camera at the June RC. Each student will have up to three minutes to say whatever they want about themselves, their education, and Saybrook.
Fighting Prop 8 with social networking: how to spread equality through technology06/02/2009
On May 26, California made national news when the state's supreme court upheld Proposition 8 – a ballot initiative that stripped the right to marry away from gay and lesbian couples.
Legal analysts say the court made its decision because … while acknowledging that marriage is a "fundamental right" … the state constitution does not explicitly protect "fundamental rights," and that therefore there is no ground to protect them from a popular vote.
Political analysts, meanwhile, point out that State Supreme Court justices are elected in California, and that the six justices had been threatened with recall efforts had they voted the other way.
But Joel Federman, who directs Saybrook's Social Transformation Concentration, says there is sufficient precedent already for California to stand behind gay marriage.
"The California court had a precedent they could have followed to declare Proposition 8 unconstitutional, a 1996 US Supreme Court decision, Romer v. Evans, involving a constitutional amendment, Amendment 2, passed by a majority in Colorado, and intended to deny state and local government protection of "homosexuals, lesbians or bisexuals" from discrimination," Federman wrote at topia.net. "As Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the majority in that decision, striking down Colorado Proposition 2: 'A state cannot...deem a class of persons a stranger to its laws.' That eloquent phrasing captured the essential meaning of equal protection under the law, and applied it to same-sex discrimination."
Eventually, Federman says, same-sex marriage will be an "unquestioned right, as obvious to the fair-minded as interracial marriage."
"But," he says, "in the meantime, we protest."
But what will that protest look like? Civil rights marches emerged for the era of TV – what new forms of protest will emerge for the era of Facebook and Twitter? How effective will they be?
Chip Conley, who introduced a new generation to Maslow, to receive an honorary Saybrook degree06/02/2009
Saybrook President Lorne Buchman is pleased to announce that Chip Conley, a humanistic and socially conscious entrepreneur, will be the Honorary Degree recipient at the June, 2009 graduation. He has also graciously agreed to be graduation speaker.
The Honorary Doctorate Committee, composed of students, faculty, administrative staff and board carefully considered the outstanding candidates who had been nominated by members of the Saybrook community and graduating students for this year's honorary degree. The candidates who were chosen each represented a substantial body of work and high achievement in disciplines that embrace our values and principles. Although there were many nominees of substance, the top choices were forwarded to the President and the Board of Trustees for consideration, resulting in the decision to elect Chip Conley.
Chip's most recently book PEAK: How Great Companies Get Their Mojo from Maslow is introducing a new generation to Maslow's work, and is once again demonstrating the relevancy of his writings and humanistic thought to contemporary business practice.
New money - and tough questions - for native arts05/19/2009
The Ford Foundation recently announced that it is endowing the first permanent arts foundation for the art and culture of American Indian, Native Hawaiian and Alaska Native artists.
"This," says Saybrook psychology faculty member Stanley Krippner, "can be a bonanza for indigenous arts."
Krippner is just one of Saybrook's many community members who have done extensive work with America's native peoples, and many of them are thrilled the prospect of native artists finally receiving ongoing support and recognition.
But they also warn that there's a big difference between "appreciating" native works of art that are preserved behind glass, and supporting the living, breathing, cultures that create today's native traditions.
The first is easy, they say. The second is far more complex and challenging.
Healing into Possibilities05/19/2009
Seven years ago Alison Shapiro was the picture of a healthy 55 year-old. A happy life, a successful career; no health issues, no weight issues; her blood pressure was normal. She was in the middle of living out a lifelong dream, illustrating her first children's book. She had three of 17 pictures finished.
Then she had a stroke. Twenty-four hours later, she had another.
You may think you've got problems, but probably not like Alison had.
The two strokes struck her brain stem – the most lethal place for a stroke to hit. Fifty percent of brain stem stroke victims die; others suffer from "locked in" syndrome, where they are fully conscious – and fully paralyzed. By the time the strokes were over, Alison's left side was mostly paralyzed, and her right side was wildly uncoordinated. She couldn't swallow, she couldn't sit up, her speech was heavily slurred, her eyes wouldn't focus, she couldn't walk.
It was the kind of event no one is ever prepared for.
"There I was, in that hospital," she says. "I was completely stunned. It's a very sudden event, it's like a train wreck: one minute your life is fine, the next minute you can't move. When it happened, I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do. I had no idea how to face it."
But don't feel bad for Alison: she figured out how to face it. And she wants you to know that when you have to face it … or any other adversity … that you can, too.
Today Alison is healthy, active, and engaged with life again: a fully functioning person who has published her children's book. In fact, she says she feels more empowered than she ever has before.
And this month Alison, the Chair of Saybrook's Board of Trustees, is seeing the release of a book about her recovery experience.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Report: D-backs again interested in trading Justin Upton
In what has becoming seemingly a yearly offseason event, the Arizona Diamondbacks are once again trying to trade two-time All-Star right fielder Justin Upton, according to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports.
The 25-year-old Upton had a disappointing 2012 campaign which saw him hit .280, a mark consistent with his career numbers. But his stats dropped substantially from 2011 in several categories, including home runs (31 to 17), RBI (88 to 67) and slugging percentage (.529 to .430).
In his story, Rosenthal cites insiders who say there's a very distinct chance Upton will be moved by opening day 2013.
Major-league sources, however, say the team is again engaged in active discussions about Upton, and one estimates the chances of him playing elsewhere next season are "80-20."
The D-backs tried to trade Upton following both the 2010 and 2011 regular seasons, and his name was mentioned in frequent trade rumors before last July's trade deadline.
The Diamondbacks will be seeking help on the left side of their infield this offseason, and have already traded for Oakland shortstop Cliff Pennington. As Rosenthal points out, Texas shortstop Elvis Andrus could make sense as a trade target, as the Rangers will likely be trying to fill the hole in the lineup if Josh Hamilton should leave via free agency.
Additionally, Texas has shortstop Jurickson Profar in their system, and the 19-year-old is considered by most to be the top infield prospect in all of baseball, making Andrus expendable.

BMW R1200GS & Adventure Handguards - A large adventure touring motorcycle like the BMW R1200GS or R1200GS Adventure needs the best protection for its handlebars and controls. Protect your BMW's bars, levers, and controls with a set of Touratech handguards. Built out of extremely tough plastic, these hand guards give you the benefit of being flexible, absorbing impact instead of transfering it to your handlebars or bar mounts like a rigid aluminum or steel guard.
Available in several different colors, these guards come with all the necessary mounting hardware and are designed to be an exact fit for your BMW R1200GS's original handlebars. If you'd like extra wind and rain coverage, additional spoilers are available for purchase separately.
I have crashed by bike way too many times with these on. I have never broken a lever or handguard. The white guard looks really sweet on my red R1200GS with the red spoiler added on too.
By Iain on Dec 17, 2011 at 05:12:42 PM
I took the regular hand guards that cam with my GSA and installed these. Not only do they compliment the bike but they actually hold really nice in the event of dropping your bike or hitting some barks. This is not a necessity to have but will give a very nice look to your bike with functionality, just make sure you ask for the fairing that mounts on top to give you the complete look and additional hand protection.
By Atiba Odusanya on Dec 20, 2012 at 10:12:23 PM
Nice product but there are no specific instructions for my 2005 BMW R1200GS. I had to call tech support to know how to mount the inner brackets. The 2008 & later models require the inner brackets with the large tabs mounted up (as shown on the .pdf instructions) while the 2007 and earlier needs to have the large tabs mounted down. There is nothing to note that! After much trial and error, they look and perform great.
By Mitch Hartley on Apr 10, 2013 at 09:04:14 PM
My R12GSW had BMW guards when I got the bike; I didn't think they offered much wind protection and they seemed pretty flexible. I decided to get some white Touratech hand guards (the bike is white) and the additional upper section to improve the wind protection and make the bike more visible from the front. Before installing the Touratech guards I pushed on the end of the BMW guards as hard as I could parallel to the handlebars and noted how far they deflected. I did the same thing with the Touratech guards; they deflected at most about one fourth as much as the BMW units, so I can say the new guards are much stiffer. I haven't ridden the bike with the new guards yet. Pay close attention to the R and L halves of the supplied handlebar clamps (they are slightly different) and get them installed in the position shown in the instructions (match an R and an L on each side of the handlebar) Put the upper sections on before you install the guards or you'll be taking them off to complete the installation.

DENVER—The former chairman of the board of the Midland Symphony Orchestra of Michigan saw Shen Yun International Company and praised the music after the evening performance on Feb. 23 at the Temple Buell Theater.
"The orchestra is excellent. It's very interesting to me to hear the blend of the Chinese instruments and the Western instruments," Mr. Chapman said.
According to the Shen Yun website, the ability to blend the two kinds of instruments is what makes the Shen Yun Orchestra unique. "The sound produced is uniquely pleasing to the ear. The ensemble at once expresses both the grandeur of a Western orchestra and the distinct sensibilities of China's 5,000-year-old civilization. The Chinese instruments include the erhu, dizi, pipa, and suona."
Mr. Chapman loves classical music and enjoys going to concerts. Because he knows music well, he was able to discern subtleties in the orchestra. "It's interesting to me because you can hear the Chinese, the pentatonic music, but you can also hear the Western chords and sort of thing."
Even audience members who are not music experts notice the precise timing the orchestra must have to coordinate with the dancers and with the animated backdrop. Mr. Chapman found that facet of the performance intriguing.
"It was very interesting to me to see how they were able to maintain the precise timing versus the events … on the screen." He thought it was very hard to do.
Shen Yun uses animated projected images that interact with the performers. According to the Shen Yun website, "These digital backdrop designs complement and synchronize all aspects of the performance: the characters, color of the costumes, specific dance movements, props, lighting, the story being told, particular notes played by the orchestra, and special audio effects."
The skill of the musicians and of conductor Antonia Joy Wilson was remarkable, in Mr. Chapman's opinion. "For me, the precision that has happen, being able to coordinate with the dancing, with the events on the screen and so on, requires a great deal of focus and precision, and that was amazing to me," he said.
All aspects of the performance were extraordinary to Mr. Chapman. "It's all wonderful. The costumes are amazing to me. The colors … the bright colors were just amazing, and of course the dancing," he said.
Mr. Chapman said Shen Yun would stay with him. "It's a unique performance, something I'll remember for a long time."

Show all reviews
MPH by Washington Tremlett
I think that MPH is an acronym for "Mediocre Patchouli Here". I don't give too many negative reviews, as I try with all objectivity to get an "organic metaphor" for a scent. I believe that every fragrance has at least a semblence of anguished thought behind it, because as a parfumier releasing something subpar could spell disaster not only for your sales, but also in your respect in the field. The art of scent is becoming quite the flooded market, and as a "house", especially on the fringe of popularity (seven different fragrances with a total of ten reviews?), satisfaction with ho-hum could ring the death-bell for any continued success... that being said I had never heard of this perfume house until the wonderfully amazing Dimitri sent me a sample nestled in with a plethora of decants when I purchased a couple of amazing fragrances. This was probably one of the last of the lot that I sampled, and in the last three hours I have been everything but impressed. Citrus??? it laughs at you out of the bottle before falling dry on the skin without a shred of identity... Lavender??? The scented dryer sheets I picked up at Target today for 1.99 had more lavender, and the shred of pepper I got was enough to think about think about think about maybe wrinkling my nose to think about maybe, just maybe, affecting a fake sneeze... On the tail end I was so wiped out from the boredom that the very slight drydown comparison to A*men (or any one of a thousand patchouli/oakmoss dries) that I would really rather fall asleep than continue the observation... If, for some reason, I awaken to the most heavenly pulse I havfe ever had the opportunity to relish I might edit my review, but for now this will be classified under my "intense waste of three hours I'll never have the gift to relive" genre, and for that I give four thumbs down.

Craig Bierko
|Craig Bierko
August 18, 1964
Rye Brook, New York, U.S.
Craig Philip Bierko (born August 18, 1964) is an American actor and singer.
Early life[edit]
Bierko was born in Rye Brook, New York, the son of Pat (Distillator) and Rex Bierko, who ran a local community theatre.[1][2] Bierko's mother was a Jewish-born convert to Roman Catholicism. Bierko has said he is "very connected" to his Jewish heritage.[3] His surname is Polish.[4] He attended Boston University intending to study broadcast journalism at the School of Public Communications but graduated from Northwestern University in 1986 with a BS in theater arts from the School of Speech.,[5][6]
Bierko got his big break in 1990 when he was cast opposite Valerie Bertinelli and Matthew Perry in the CBS sitcom Sydney; however, the production lasted just 13 episodes. He went on to make steady appearances in various television shows including Amen, The Powers That Be, Wings and Ally McBeal. Bierko may be best known for his role as Timothy in the 1996 action film The Long Kiss Goodnight, as Max Baer in the film Cinderella Man, as Tom Ryan in Scary Movie 4 (spoofing Tom Cruise throughout the film) and on the Broadway stage as Harold Hill in The Music Man. He was also the original choice for the character of Chandler Bing on the sitcom Friends but turned it down.[7] He had a short role as a jazz musician love interest for Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) in the fourth season of Sex and the City. He had another short role as attorney Jeffrey Coho during the third season of the ABC television series Boston Legal and as a lead in the short-lived Unhitched. He was also cast as Dave Lister in the pilot for the American version of Red Dwarf, which was not picked up as a series. He appeared in 2001's Kate and Leopold in an uncredited role, and in TV's Law and Order: Special Victim's Unit as Andy Eckerson, a United States Deputy Marshal who is working with the SVU (and ex-flame Det. Olivia Benson) to recapture an escaped convict. [8] His role as heavyweight champion Max Baer in the 2005 movie Cinderella Man, starring Russell Crowe and directed by Ron Howard, was controversial since Baer was depicted as vicious and cruel. Baer's family, especially actor son Max Baer Jr. bitterly resented it and publicly attacked the film.
Bierko was slated to appear on Broadway in the Manhattan Theatre Club production of To Be or Not to Be but withdrew from the production August 29, 2008, for unspecified reasons.[9] He starred as Sky Masterson in the Broadway revival of Guys and Dolls which began performances at the Nederlander Theatre on February 5, 2009, and officially opened on March 1, 2009.[10] The production closed on June 14, 2009 after 113 performances.[11] He performed the role of Peter in the 2011 New York Philharmonic production of Stephen Sondheim's Company with Neil Patrick Harris, Patti Lupone and Stephen Colbert.
Bierko was slated to replace Bertie Carvel as Miss Trunchbull in Matilda the Musical at the Shubert Theatre along with Jill Paice as Miss Honey on 3 September, but did not start performances until 17 September due to a "minor injury".[12] On November 19, it was announced that Bierko will not return to the role of Miss Trunchbull due to "medical circumstances", following a shoulder injury sustained during rehearsals.[13]
On July 22, 2014, it was announced that Craig has been cast in the lead role in the Lifetime dramedy series UnREAL, playing Chet, who is the "sexy and arrogant" creator of a reality dating show.[14]

Mark Lewis first recipient of the Gershon Iskowitz Prize at the AGO
Date Posted: May, 15, 2007
On May 31, photographer and filmmakerMark Lewis will be jointly recognized by the Art Gallery of Ontario and theGershon Iskowitz Foundation for his contribution to the visual arts in Canada.As a recipient of the 2007 Gershon Iskowitz Prize at the AGO,Lewis will receive a $25,000 award and his work will be featured in a temporaryexhibition at the AGO in 2008.
The AGO's permanent collection includes one of Lewis' most famous works – Algonquin Park, Early March(2002), in which he uses a slow reverse zoom. The four-minute film,shot in Ontario, begins with whiteness that the viewer perceives to besky, but as the image unfolds it is revealed to be the frozen surfaceof a lake.
"Lewis returns to the locale made familiar andfamous by the Group of Seven painters, artists such as Tom Thomson, andrealizes a work of startling revelation," says David Moos, AGO curatorof contemporary art and a member of the jury that selected Lewis. "Asin many of Lewis' films, the viewer is transported in both narrativeand perceptual terms."
Lewis has always been fascinated withthe social phenomenon and power of film. His work explores thepictorial possibilities of this art form, often using 35mm film,professional actors and basic cinematic techniques characteristic ofavant-garde and mainstream cinema. His works seek to make connectionsbetween art history and cinema.
Some of Lewis' other popular works include: Rear Projection (Molly Parker) (2006) and Rear Projection (Golden Rod) (2006). Molly Parkeris a filmed portrait of the actress that is superimposed on a backdropof an abandoned gas station. It has been described as a Renaissancecinematic portrait. Golden Rod was filmed in the samelocation, but from a different angle. It explores the disorientingeffect of the camera's slow movement through the landscape. Both worksuse a cinematic technique from the 1930's that allowed stars to be'transported' to dangerous or exotic landscapes. This technique hasbeen supplemented by what is now called a green screen and digitaltechnology.
Mark Lewis was born in Hamilton, Ontario, in 1957.He now lives and works in London, England. He attended Harrow Collegeof Art (London) and the Polytechnic of Central London. Starting out asa photographer, Lewis eventually began to experiment with film in themid-1990's. He is the co-founder of Afterall – a research andpublishing organization – and founding editor of the Afterall Journal.Every issue of the journal brings together five international artistsand discusses their works. Lewis is also the principal lecturer ofresearch at Central St. Martins School of Art and Design, in London.
Earlierthis year the AGO and the Iskowitz Foundation partnered to raiseawareness of the visual arts in Canada with the renaming of the annualaward established 20 years ago by Canadian painter Gershon Iskowitz(1921-1988). Iskowitz acknowledged that it was a grant that enabled himto achieve his distinctive style. The AGO is home to the artist'sarchives, which include early works on paper, sketchbooks andmemorabilia.

This seminar comparatively
explores the diverse practices of art making across colonial
This seminar aims to reanimate the plurality of early North American material culture through a multicultural investigation of the uses and meanings of colonial objects. It is designed to challenge familiar disciplinary paradigms by introducing students to an approach that is at once more geographically expansive and culturally inclusive than existing models of American art historical study, which often distinguish "American art" (art of the United States) from the "Art of the Americas" (Latin American art). By comparatively exploring issues including artistic identity, cultural hybridity, and Atlantic trade, the course will engage students in the ongoing internationalization of American art history and help them identify new ideas and methodologies for future research. Through reading and writing assignments and an oral presentation, students will develop knowledge of the critical theories of colonialism and postcolonialism and further improve their skills of visual analysis, research and communication, and critical thinking.

Originally written on Fox Sports North | Last updated 1/6/13
The NHL lockout is finally over, and it couldn't have happened at a better time for Minnesota sports fans. The news broke early Sunday morning that the NHL and the players' association reached a tentative agreement to bring an end to the league's 113-day lockout. Hockey fans across the country celebrated the return of their sport -- especially those in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. The 24 hours before the end of the NHL lockout was a rough period for Minnesota sports fans. It was announced late Saturday afternoon that Timberwolves forward Kevin Love re-fractured a finger on his right hand, the same injury that kept him out for the first nine games of the season. There is no timetable set for Love's return yet, but it's likely he'll be out for a while. He missed five weeks when he fractured two fingers in his right hand in October. Just hours after Love's latest injury became public, Minnesota fans had to watch their beloved Vikings lose a playoff game 24-10 to their hated rivals, the...

Even with Bobby Cannavale, 'The Big Knife' doesn't cut it
The Clifford Odets play "The Big Knife" had not been revived in 60 years.
It's certainly not because people have lost their fascination with Hollywood, or that studio bosses are suddenly beacons of ethics or movie stars live beyond reproach. (Though vehicular homicide while drunk does stretch the definition of reproach).
Nope, it likely has not been revived because it is dull -- painfully, completely dull.
Bobby Cannavale, as always, is very good, especially when losing in it, with veins taut in his neck, face red and muscles tense. He recently proved it in Broadway's "Glengarry Glen Ross" as well as on "Nurse Jackie." Richard Kind (Broadway's "The Producers," TV's "Luck"), who gives off such a nice guy vibe, is great as heartless, disingenuous studio head Marcus Hoff.
Yet people were audibly snoring at Roundabout Theatre Company's production of "The Big Knife" at American Airlines Theatre. That's inexcusable, but understandable. It's the sort of play that actors may love and has some great lines, but never fully gels.
There are jumps in logic and people become extremely angry, but it's not completely clear why. Just as journalists seem to love "Lucky Guy" more than people in other lines of work because it's about a newspaper reporter, it could be that actors like this because it's about the movie business. Cannavale plays Charlie Castle, a huge movie star and a war hero.
Charlie is disaffected and claims he wants to leave this life, but Hoff is not inclined to let his moneymaker go. Charlie seems pretty easily persuaded, but his wife, Marion (Marin Ireland, Broadway's "Reasons to be Pretty," TV's "Homeland"), wants him to leave.
They're separated and both have extramarital interests, which is a good idea because they have negative chemistry together.
Much of the angst stems from some time back, when Charlie fatally hit a kid with his car.
He drinks a lot, which could be to forget his crime, but his conscience has not kicked in enough to make him turn himself in and give up his mansion or millions. Complicating matters is the fact he had a starlet with him at the time of the accident.
Marion also has a tendency to drink too much and she talks even more. Worse, she does not seem to understand the concept of being paid off. Charlie's agent, Hoff and his henchman all try to deal with the situation. Marion storms in and out as the butler (Billy Eugene Jones, "The Mountaintop") carries around drinks and is the most logical person on stage.
Fortune cookie aphorisms are tossed about: "Never underestimate a man because you don't like him."
People enter and exit, yell a lot and get very worked up. Charlie, in particular, screams a lot and drinks too much, but who could blame him? By the end, I wanted to scream a lot and drink, too.

AHADI Kenya Trust ambassador Cecilia Mwangi wants the elderly people infested with jiggers given a priority in the cash transfer programme for the elderly. Speaking on Saturday in Uasin Gishu county when the Trust took its anti-jigger campaign to Kiambaa, Mwangi said poverty is one of the causes of jiggers.
"We want the government to give priority to those infested with jiggers. They should be aided financially to improve their livelihoods,"she said.
The Sh12 billion cash transfer programme for elderly,orphans and vulnerable was launched two weeks ago by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The funds allocated to social safety program are meant to benefit about 500,000 elderly people,orphaned and vulnerable in a bid to alleviate poverty in the country.
She wondered why many elderly people especially those affected by jiggers continue to suffer and there were money for them.

Heavy Lifting, Inc. is a creative marketing company. As the name implies, we enjoy tackling the difficult jobs. The challenging problems. From the big, important, overarching branding assignments, to the small, strategic, tactical work that might make a big difference.
In our minds, the "heavy lifting" isn't always done with the big, conspicuous assignments. Sometimes the jobs that make the biggest difference are the ones that companies have difficulty wrapping their heads around. That's where we believe we can help.
We have big agency experience and all the resources to handle branding, digital, collateral, print, broadcast, and full campaign development. We've done it for big brands like In-N-Out Burger, TaylorMade Golf and Kawasaki. But because we're small and agile, we can also handle those pesky projects that you may not have the immediate resources to handle.
We would love to have the opportunity to get together and talk about some of your current challenges and see if we could be of service. Please contact us if we can answer any questions or lift anything heavy. We have strong backs and strong constitutions. We'll be waiting by the computer. Stretching.

About the Book
The spirited child—often called "difficult" or "strong-willed"—can easily overwhelm parents, leaving them feeling frustrated and inadequate.Spirited kids are, in fact, simply "more"—by temperament, they are more intense, sensitive, perceptive, persistent, and uncomfortable with change than the average child.Through vivid examples and a refreshingly positive viewpoint, Mary Sheedy Kurcinka offers parents emotional support and proven strategies for handling their spirited child. Raising Your Spirited Child will help you:
- Understand your child's—and your own—temperamental traits
- Plan for success with a simple four-step program
- Discover the power of positive—rather than negative—labels
- Cope with tantrums and blowups when they do occur
- Develop strategies for handling mealtimes, bedtimes, holidays, school and many other situations
Filled with personal insight and authorative advice, Raising Your Spirited Child can help make parenting the joy it should be, rather than the trial it can be.

Badin is situated on Notre Dame's South Quad, between Howard (another women's hall) and Coleman-Morse (an academic building). You can trip out of Badin's side door and end up in South Dining Hall, which is nice for those South Bend winters! We have four floors and lots of character, and are the only dorm on campus with a porch. We also have a great view of St. Mary's lake from the "lake" side of the building, and there are four rooms on the fourth floor with skylights and great views of the Golden Dome.
Our mascot is the bullfrog (in case you haven't already figured that out), and our color is green (but we like to throw accent colors like pink and navy in there when we can). We made Notre Dame history by becoming the first and only hall to win the prestigious Hall of the Year award two years in a row—for the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 academic years. We're known for being tight-knit, but are always looking for new ways to strengthen our community.
