I agree entirely, money does make the world go around and that is what I have my full time job for, I work, get paid, buy stuff for my kit and play gigs for nothing, that's the reality and truth of it. Obviously it is his full time job and he has to make money from it but whether he does it for the money or not is a different thing.
Also I say I would play for free but in reality I would need to be paid if it was my full time job. However if I was asked to go touring full time and they said we can't pay you but we can supply you with food, transport and accommodation, I would say sign me up doc!

I have been listening to a lot of Bonobo recently, they are beautiful. And Little Dragon… you have to download the Move d @stattbad wedding 2013-07-06 mix and have a little boogie.

The Clear Expert on Family Trips
Backroads Family Trips are incredible experiences for every member of the family. You have great opportunities to connect with your kids as you discover a new world together. You also get some welcome time on your own—and so do they!
Check out our Family Breakaway Trips: Big adventures for families with older teens and 20-somethings.
Why Families Love Traveling with Backroads
PARENT TIME, KID TIME, FAMILY TIME Each itinerary balances quality time together and apart, with welcome opportunities for everyone to take a break and recharge—usually impossible on a family vacation. As a parent, it's wonderful to get a break from being the decision maker or mediator and just relax!
WE BRING FAMILIES CLOSER TOGETHER through exciting travel experiences and stimulating adventures that let you interact in ways you'd never encounter back home. As young people leave behind TV and texting for natural wonders and cultural diversity, it builds their self-assurance and piques their curiosity about things beyond their usual life.
THREE EXPERIENCED TRIP LEADERS (and as many as five on Camping Trips) take care of all the day-to-day logistics. They're knowledgeable and enthusiastic motivators for your kids, interact with excitement and are inspiring role models. They'll make sure your gang has the best vacation ever.
A DEDICATED KID COORDINATOR orchestrates activities for the entire family, plus an hour or two per day of kids-only fun—often focused on local culture or the natural environment.
NO "CANNED" ACTIVITIES OR TOURIST THRONGS You won't have breakfast with cartoon characters, and there are no midnight buffets. You will get plenty of fresh air and outdoor activity together while discovering a whole new part of the world—and a whole new side of yourselves.
ACTIVITIES DESIGNED WITH THE WHOLE FAMILY in mind—including easier routes to suit kids' abilities and attention spans and great longer options for adults and teens.
MULTI-VEHICLE SUPPORT because we know that families need extra support. We use two or three vehicles plus a trailer for luggage and supplies.
MORE FAMILIES MEANS MORE FUN and makes the trip enjoyable for everyone. Some companies' groups are so small, you can end up traveling with one other family—not nearly as much fun as having a robust number of kids with like ages.

As of Thursday, August 9, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
JONESBORO — Clayton County Superior Court Chief Judge Deborah Benefield denounced a Riverdale teenager Thursday as a remorseless and evil cop killer who resisted for years every effort from authorities to turn him away from a life of crime.
Testimony showed Johnathan Bun, 18, was already a danger and menace to society when he shot and killed Clayton sheriff's Deputy Rick Daly during a traffic stop last summer.
Following the recommendation for the maximum sentence from Daly's family and the District Attorney's Office, Benefield sent Bun to life in prison without the possibility of parole plus 70 years.
Bun didn't qualify for the death penalty because he was under 18 at the time of the killing.
"He's never shown any remorse, never, not even up to this moment," said Benefield of Bun. "Even today, he looked toward a news photographer and smiled."
Bun was convicted of murder in May. Sentencing was delayed because the U.S. Supreme Court was weighing ruling on whether youthful offenders should be punished by life without the possibility of parole. The final decision leaves it to the discretion of trial judges.
Clayton Chief Assistant District Attorney Erman Tanjuatco said Bun is the "uncommon" exception deserving of the most severe punishment.
"He doesn't deserve to breathe the same air as we do," said Tanjuatco. "This is what the U.S. Supreme Court was talking about. This is an uncommon case. Make sure he never walks free and breathes the same air as we do. He will die in prison and that's a good sentence."
Tanjuatco scoffed at defense attorney Lloyd Matthews' expert witness who asserted that Bun was capable of being rehabilitated. Matthews fought for life with the possibility of parole but Tanjuatco disagreed.
"It wasn't the system that failed the defendant," said Tanjuatco. "The defendant failed the system. He didn't want rehabilitation. He didn't want supervision."
The state's key witness was District Attorney Tracy Graham Lawson. Lawson was a Clayton Juvenile Court judge for 13 years before stepping down in 2008 to run for office. It was she who saw Bun for the first time in a courtroom. He was 10.
"He began his criminal career in Clayton County at only 10 years old," she said. "He was carrying a knife on school property."
Because of his age, he was admonished and counseled to stay out of trouble. Lawson said that tactic usually works on young children. It is "rare" to see a child that young in Clayton Juvenile Court, she said.
"I would say less than 1 percent is less than 10 years old," Lawson said.
Less than two years later, Bun was back in court on a criminal trespass complaint. Two months later, he was facing a burglary charge. A few months after, he ran away from home and was gone an "extensive" amount of time, said Lawson.
"His father and uncle found him in his old neighborhood," she said. "He had marijuana and tobacco and threatened to shoot his uncle."
Bun was removed from the community several times and was placed in a treatment facility for seven months. Lawson said each time he was released, he went right back to committing crimes.
"His whole family was afraid of him," she said. "He would yell and beat up his brothers and sisters. He couldn't be left alone with them. He started sneaking out of his house at age 10, he was failing all his classes, missed more than 30 days of school, was suspended for 30 more. This was unusual behavior at such a young age, and it is a precursor to criminal behavior as an adult."
Bun was already smoking marijuana, using methamphetamine and drinking alcohol before he was a teenager, she said.
"I was afraid of him at that time, so afraid for the community, I recommended out of home placement," said Lawson. "That's very, very unusual. He had everyone concerned at a very, very young age."
Bun racked up 10 juvenile violations before graduating to armed robberies at 16.
"I know how hard we tried, we tried everything in the universe to change him," she said. "You can't change this young man, I'm convinced of that. Nothing worked."
Lawson said the shooting that killed Daly was not a "one-time isolated case."
"If they start at age 10 and every six months keep coming back into court constantly, that's indicative that he's a danger and menace to society," she said.
In making his argument for life without parole, Tanjuatco showed the judge photos of Bun's cell phone texts written just a few hours before he killed Daly.
"At 1:21 p.m., he's planning another armed robbery," said Tanjuatco. "That's just an hour and a half before the murder. Three hours before, he was arranging a drug deal."
Tanjuatco urged Benefield to look at how Bun lived his life, not his age.
"Drugs and guns, money and bullets, those were the things that were important to this defendant," he said.
Daly's only daughter, Amber Wright, and widow, Cheryl Daly, gave victim impact statements. Daly said her husband's death has been difficult and devastating.
"We were married 37 years and he was very loving, very giving, a wonderful man," she said. "He should get life without parole because he took my husband's life and he should pay with his life."
Wright had no sympathy for Bun's young age.
"No matter his age, he doesn't deserve to walk free," she said. "He killed my dad and he deserves to pay, to stay in jail. This wasn't a random crime, he actually took a life."
Benefield had the last word, praising Daly and all the men and women in law enforcement.
"Light must shine in the darkness and Rick Daly's light shines on," she said. "It can't and won't be extinguished. That bloody pay stub in his pocket shows that good doesn't pay well but you can be sure he's already heard the words, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.'"

It was started seven years ago as a way to raise awareness of childhood cancer in Middle Georgia schools.
"Our schools are some of the first to hear about a newly diagnosed child," says Jay's Hope founder, Cindy Gaskins. "We knew if we could inform administrators and teachers about the disease, they could help Jay's Hope reach out to those families to get them the help they need."
On Hats 4 Hope day, students donate one dollar to Jay's Hope and get to wear their favorite hat for the day. The hats serve a two-fold purpose, they are a visual reminder of what pediatric oncology patients go through during treatment and a way for students to show support for their peers battling the disease.
"It's always fun for kids to get to wear a hat to school because it's a rule, you can't wear hats," says preschool director Keisha Pitts. "So, for them to be able to do that and give a donation to an important cause is really great."
For Hartley, it was especially meaningful because her 10-year-old son, Trane, is a childhood cancer survivor. He was diagnosed with leukemia just before his second birthday.

Dr. Don Williamson Monday likened the division of the state into Medicaid regions to redrawing the map of Europe following World War I: Complete satisfaction is unlikely, disturbances to prior arrangements a given.
"There's no way you can draw maps and lines on a map that do not impact somebody's referral patterns," Williamson, the overseer of a major overhaul of Medicaid's delivery system, told dozens of providers and parties interested in the overhaul. "What we tried to do was minimize the impact on referral patterns, but there's simply no way to eliminate any impact."
Unlike that post-war Versailles map, Williamson will have another chance at drawing the boundaries, and those affected will have a chance to say where they think the final borders should be.
The preliminary map will group the state's Medicaid patients into five separate regions, based on geography, infrastructure and how patients are referred to doctors. The regional division is the first step in the overhaul, approved by the state Legislature last month and signed by Gov. Robert Bentley.
Under the plan, Medicaid will contract with regional care organizations (RCOs) in each region to provide care to an initial pool of just under 700,000 Medicaid recipients, with at least two RCOs in each region.
Payments would be delivered under a "capitation model" that could eventually shift to one where each RCO would receive a lump sum of money to provide care to those they serve. If RCOs could provide adequate care under Medicaid's cost estimates, they could keep any money left over. Although savings from the changes are expected to be small, supporters hope the move will incentivize preventative care and help lower hospital utilization costs, ultimately driving down the cost of the program.
While the complete move to the system won't be finished until 2017, the first part – the map – is due by Oct. 1 of this year. There will be a 35-day comment period on the map starting on July 1, said Williamson, who also said he would like to hold three public meetings on the map at locations around the state.
Williamson also stressed the map was preliminary. As if to emphasize the point, the version placed on the easel next to him had DRAFT stamped across it in gray letters. The map, Williamson said, was the agency's best guess at how to preserve current referral patterns in the state while creating regions that would be fiscally sound.
"It's not a perfect map," he said. "It may not even be a good map."
Reactions from providers and interested parties ranged from cautious optimism to scrupulous neutrality. Rural hospitals depend on Medicaid recipients to keep their doors open, said J. Michael Horsley, president of the Alabama Hospital Association, and preserving those patterns — and keeping Medicaid patients coming — is crucial to their survival.
"We'll have to wait to see what the individual input is (from members)," he said. "I don't know all the referral patterns, and where the lines might need to be moved a little bit. But in general, it's a very good first start."
Medicaid estimates that to be fiscally sound, each RCO will have to serve a minimum of 25,000 and 30,000 patients, in order to have a large pool of healthy adults to offset the cost of treating recipients with severe health problems. The five regions range in population size, with "Region C," taking in a number of counties in west Alabama and the Black Belt, starting with approximately 61,000 patients. Williamson acknowledged the region was on the borderline of viability, which also concerned Jim Carnes with Alabama Arise, a group that lobbies on poverty issues.
"As Dr. Williamson said, the framework of viability with participants in the system, this is at the limit of that, with high per-patient costs," he said. "We think every region needs a strong start, and I need to learn more about the referral patterns they're trying to maintain."
Williamson said Medicaid patients currently seeing providers outside their region would still be able to see their doctors, as long as the doctors continue to accept Medicaid patients.

Popeyes Lousiana Kitchen is set to open its first Johnson City location at the former Dairy Queen building along North Roan Street.
A little taste of the Big Easy will soon be coming to Johnson City.
Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, a fast food restaurant that specializes in fried chicken, jambalaya and red beans and rice, is set to open its first location in the Tri-Cities in mid-July, according to co-owner and manager Wais Shoja.
The restaurant will be located in the former Dairy Queen building at 2602 N. Roan St.
"The hype for it is there and we believe that there's a lot of room to grow. KFC is pretty saturated everywhere, but Popeyes can grow when it goes to an area. We believe the Tri-Cities is a good area," Shoja said.
Construction is under way at the location, and Shoja said the building is being completely remodeled.
"We pretty much just redid everything inside to keep it up to date," he said.
Shoja will be running the location with his family, who has operated a number of other Popeyes franchises in Washington, D.C., Maryland and New Jersey.
After looking for a new area to start another location, Shoja said he and his family decided the Tri-Cities market would be the best location because the area isn't as saturated with Popeyes locations.
"We saw that the Tri-Cities was a great market for it and there was none in that vicinity and we thought we would bring it over there," he said. "The KFCs, Zaxby's, Bojangles, they do well over there and it seemed like Popeyes would be something that a lot of people would be excited about."
Shoja said there are already plans to open a Kingsport location once the Johnson City Popeyes is up and running.
The restaurant will bring about 45 jobs to the area.
Shoja said the restaurant will begin accepting applications in the next few weeks.
Founded in New Orleans in 1972, Popeyes has more than 2,000 locations across the world. About 1,600 locations operate in the United States in Texas, California, Louisiana, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, New York, Georgia, Virginia, Mississippi and Tennessee.
Popeyes is operated by Atlanta-based AFC Enterprises Inc.

Dean's Update, December 16, 2011
CBA Wins Chick-fil-A shootout at Basketball Game with BYU-Hawaii
During halftime of the December 2 Cal State Long Beach—BYU-Hawaii basketball game, the CBA team out-shot the College of Education team 15-5 to win the Chic-fil-A free throw shooting contest. The CBA team consisted of Dean Michael Solt, Professor Art Levine, CBA Alum Travis Buchanan, and CBA Friend Ray Waters. It was great fun, with CBA alums, friends, and students cheering us on. The prize is a luncheon sponsored by Chic-fil-A sometime in the spring. Details are still being worked out about date and location, and I will keep you posted. It would be great to make this a CBA A&F event, too, and bring faculty, staff, and alums together.

RAVENEL — Two children playing a game of hide-and-seek found a body Friday in a wooded area little more than a stone's throw from U.S. 17.
The man was discovered behind a vacant house with busted-out windows down Roper Road Extension.
Tearful neighbors were stunned by the death.
"Oh, Lord, it can't be true. It's like a mystery thing," said Arthur Brown, who described himself as a lifelong friend of the deceased, who was identified by the Charleston County Coroner as James Butler, 67.
"He was a nice old fellow. He didn't bother anybody," Brown said.
The death is being investigated as a homicide, according to the Charleston County Sheriff's Office.
Charleston County Deputy Coroner Scott Ramsey said the cause of Butler's death had not been determined.
Friends, family and neighbors gathered Friday down a dirt road where Butler lived in a trailer. A spokesman for the family said they would have no comment.
Butler's residence was across Savannah Highway from where his body was found.
Brown said a neighbor went to Butler's house to get a jump for a car battery. There was no answer at the home, and the neighbor saw blood in Butler's truck. At that point, authorities were called, Brown said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 843-554-1111 or the Charleston County Sheriff's Office at 843-202-1700.

Chuck Landon: Martin can help Herd deal with WVU heat
Somebody will step up.
Somebody always does.
Whether it is Marshall's DeAndre Kane or WVU's Juwan Staten, somebody will step up and become the key player when the Herd plays the Mountaineers at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, in the Capital Classic at the Charleston Civic Center.
But does it have to be a star player? Does it have to be a leading scorer? Does it even have to be a starter?
Meet Chris Martin.
If Marshall is going to handle the intense pressure WVU's guards put on opposing ball-handlers, the Herd's backup point guard will have to step up.
Martin needs to be a key player tonight.
"Chris has got to be solid," said Marshall coach Tom Herrion. "He's got to take some pressure off Kane. We've got to be able to slide Kane to the wing and take him off the ball some. That's when we need Chris to run the offense.
"We need him to step up in this game."
That's because WVU's offense is based on its defense.
"Defensively, they're a juggernaut," said Herrion. "With their man-to-man pressure, they can take you out of a lot of things."
So, just how much on-ball pressure do the Mountaineers employ?
"A ton," said Herrion emphatically. "They want to turn you over and open the floor. Their defense creates offense. It's a very big component for them."
That means WVU's rotation of Staten (29.4 minutes per game), Gary Browne (21.4 minutes) and Jabarie Hinds (22.2 minutes) will come after Kane from the opening tip.
"I'll just play my game," said Kane, who has become Marshall's de facto point guard. "I'm going to pass the ball. I'm not going to try to beat a double-team or something like that. But if I see an open lane and they're pressuring me, I will try to go past them and make a play.
"I think they've seen enough games that they know I'm not going to get stripped or just turn the ball over like that."
Kane's statistics prove his point. The junior guard is averaging only 2.9 turnovers in 38.2 minutes per game. His assist to turnover ratio is nearly 3 to 1.
In fact, Kane has more assists (67) by himself than WVU's entire team (64).
But Kane also is the Herd's leading scorer at 16.0 points per game and the Mountaineers don't have a matchup for him. That's why Marshall needs to be able to slide him to the wing and let Martin play the point for meaningful minutes.
"I do tell coach that sometimes I want to be off the ball," said Kane. "That's my natural position. I just want to get out and run and get in transition in the open court. That's where I'm best. ... the open court.
"It would take a little pressure off me to get Chris at the point."
That's why the 6-foot sophomore needs to step up tonight.
"This will be a true test," said Martin. "I look forward to that. They are going to come after me. They're going to put pressure on me. They're going to put pressure on everybody. That's how they play. That's what they do.
"I know what I have to do. I just have to go out there and do it."
Martin doesn't need to be flashy, dealing showtime assists or hitting big 3-pointers. He just needs to be solid, taking care of the ball and running the offense.
If he does that, Chris Martin will be a key player.

Holy Cross drove 64 yards in 75 seconds to come back and beat host Central Catholic 37-32 on Friday night in the Holy Bowl.
Knights tailback Kyron Davis scored on a 20-yard run with 16 seconds left to cap a spirited game between the schools. Holy Cross kicking coach Chris Medina passed away Sunday, making the Knights' win over their rivals more emotional than usual.
"It wasn't about me; it wasn't about me running the ball," said Davis, who rushed for 197 yards. "We knew we had coach Medina with us."
The Buttons took a 32-31 lead with 1:36 left in the game on a 19-yard field goal by Cameron Culp. Central Catholic trailed 25-16 entering the final quarter but rallied behind sophomore quarterback Joseph Nava, who entered the game late in the first quarter after starter Josh Godfrey suffered a shoulder injury.
After connecting with Alec Parker on a 27-yard TD pass, Nava led the Buttons on a 73-yard drive that gave them a 29-25 lead. Nick Gomez capped the drive with a 1-yard TD run with 10:01 left in the game.
Holy Cross recaptured the lead on Sam Moreno's third TD pass of the game, staking the Knights to a 31-29 lead with 7:41 left.
Central Catholic failed to score on the ensuing possession, but LaShawn Thomas intercepted Moreno on Holy Cross' next possession to set up Culp's field goal.
With only 1:34 remaining, Holy Cross methodically marched down the field on five plays. Davis rushed for 23 yards on the drive, including bouncing off several defenders and then sprinting untouched the final 10 yards into the end zone for the winning score.
"I told our kids the whole night it's going to come down to one play, and someone has got to make it, and I don't know when it's going to be," said coach Mike Harrison, whose Knights got their second straight win in the series.

Digital Score: The Effects of Digital Synthesizer and Samplers on Film Music.
Digital Score: The Effects of Digital Synthesizer and Samplers on Film Music. - Cormac Staunton M.A.
The soundtrack is the final element in constructing a film's image, and as such soundtracks should be considered 'sound' images, constructed and chosen in similar manner to the way a visual image is created (Nelmes 109). Unlike other technologies such as colour and widescreen which took over 30 years to implement fully, sound was adapted by the film industry within a few short years (Cook, 28). Over the years new technologies have been developed to enhance the audio experience of the film spectator; stereo, Dolby and more recently digital recording and projection systems have all been implemented (Hickman 333). Since the 1950s the use of electronic and digital instruments and audio recording and mixing systems have been used and adapted by film studios, producers and directors. Over the next few pages we will demonstrate some of the musical devices used by directors and composers to create a sonic image. We take a look at how these new electronic instruments and digital audio systems have radically impacted the filmmakers and possibly even changed the way we 'hear' a film. We will also make the case that the digital synthesizer was in fact the first digital tool to impact filmmaking; long before the debate over digital video (DV) was even conceived by film critics.
A film soundtrack consists of the distinct parts; dialogue, music and sound effects. These sounds can be diegetic (sounds coming from within the mise-en-scene) or non-diegetic, sounds added from outside the scene which are often to inform the viewer in some way. Adding of songs of a particular era for instance can set the timeframe as in the case of 'Street Fighting Man' by the Rolling Stones in Apocalypse Now (Coppola 1979). The opening track can often be used to set the mood or tone of the piece. M*A*S*H (Altman 1970) uses the song 'Suicide is Painless' with its opening credit to set a tone of an anti-war message within it comedy setting. Where-as the black-humour of Catch-22 (Nichols 1970) uses no music during the credits to help underline the seriousness of its anti-war message (Hickman 15).
Director has a number of musical devices to help create and alter the mood during a film. By using differing chords a film director can add a sweet peaceful feeling to the piece or, consequently by adding a dissonant sound (26) the tone can be made to appear dangerous, stressful or violent. Use of minor keys (27) or microtone can suggest exotic or non western locations. Hickman also notes that non-diegetic music can take away from realism of a scene; diegetic music can serve to impose it (35). Diegetic music is powerful force in a scene: it can serve the identifier of a disturbed psychological balance, as with Hitchcock's Rear Window (1954)(37) or it can place the characters socially as in the television series The Wire: The rap/hip hop used in scenes in the ghetto signifies violence, gangs and drugs, however the sweet soul music emanating from Detective McNulty's car identifies him as being on the side of law and order.
Hip Hop relies heavily on sampling, which according to Demers "is a digital process in which pre-recorded sounds are incorporated into the sonic fabric of a new song." (41) In other word allowing DJs and record producers to mix different parts of two or more existing songs together over a new beat to create an entirely new tune. Almost all U.S. black music since the 1970s has incorporated some sort of sampling into the mix, and as such has had subsequently featured in many films. One such example is Boyz n the hood (Singleton 1991). This is a story of three young black men growing up together in the South Central ghetto in Los Angeles. In this movie the use of diegetic music helps to define some of the character. Furious Styles (Laurence Fishburne) the straight talking single father of one of the main protagonist listens to jazz, the less intellectual Mrs. Barker, one of the neighbours, listens to the Motown music of her youth, while the younger characters all listen to rap, again signifying the proximity of violence, gun-culture and gangs (Hickman 383).
Electronic instruments are often used to produce eerie or unreal sounds indicating an unearthly or disturbed tone. The theremin and ondes martenot of musiqué concrete were some of the earliest electronic instruments used. Composer Miklós Rozsá uses the theremin in both The Lost Weekend (Wilder 1945) and Hitchcock's Spellbound (1945) to help portray characters with psychological problems. In the 1950s elaborate electronic music labs were now able to create or synthesise an astounding variety of new sounds and in 1956 Forbidden Planet (Wilcox 1956) was the first movie to use an entirely electronic score. The composer Bebe Barron had used one of the labs to create the score (31). But mostly these advances were too expensive and unwieldy to implement and it was not until the invention of the synthesizer in 1964 by Robert Moog that electronic instruments became a force within the film industry. The synthesizer or synth as it is commonly known is an electronic instrument capable of creating new sounds as well as being able to imitate the sound of other more traditional instruments. By 1970 Moog had invented a portable version and it was soon in use in the rock world as musicians began to incorporate it into their live shows (359).
Wendy (né Walter) Carlos was also know for her groundbreaking work with electronic sounds. She became fascinated with the Moog synthesiser and in 1967 she won three Grammys for her album Switched-On Bach, which established the popular appeal of the instrument. Kubrick then approached her to score A Clockwork Orange (1971) in which she uses the Moog almost exclusively. Carlos was backing scoring films again in the 1980s with Tron (Lisberger 1982). Along with the soundtrack supervisor, Michael Fremer, they discovered that by synching the snyths with the video controller using the SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) time, tight synchronization can be achieved by comparing the time codes of the two signals, thus allowing music and the on screen action to be tightly coupled (Moog 54). In this movie she introduces digital synthesizers to the film world for the first time with the use of the Crumar GDS to create a lot of the sound effects in the film's computer world. (Wiki) Originally the idea was to have a symphony orchestra for the real world scenes and electronic music for the computer world. However, due to pressures elsewhere, Carlos could not supervise the orchestra recordings. In an interview with Robert Moog for Keyboard magazine Wendy Carlos discusses how the Crumar actually saves the day when the orchestral recordings were found to be lacking due to bad microphone settings, sessions be only recorded in mono when stereo was required, and some playing errors by the musicians, meant that a lot of the orchestra recording were found to be seriously lacking. With the help of the Crumar GDS to was able to synthesize additional parts for the orchestra and mixed them down with what she was able to salvage from the original tapes to complete the award winning score for the film (Moog 56).
Analogue synths tended to be expensive and unreliable, and thus did not have the impact digital synths did (Pierce 8). The use of digital synthesizers in film music really took off after 1978 (Palm 63) with the arrival of the digital synth and samplers. Many of the reliability and tuning problems inherent in the analogue synthesizer were resolved and many new possibilities opened up (Burt 243). Not least of which was the arrival in 1983 of the Yamaha DX-7 with its multi-voice patch system and the MIDI communications system that allowed digital synthesizers to be linked together or with other MIDI compliant synthesizers, drum machines, samplers and computers (Hickman 359). These advances opened up a whole new world for film music composers and movie directors effectively allowing them to replace large studio orchestras with a few relatively inexpensive synthesizers. Other sounds could also be recorded and played though the synthesizer, a gun shot or noise of a train, and the noise then changed by the instrument adding or subtracting pitch, tone or timbre of the sound creating a whole palette of audio from which the director or sound engineer could choose from (Johnson 16).
In 1982 Vangelis becomes the first composer to win Oscar for a virtuoso achievement in film scoring with a completely digital synthesized score in Chariots of Fire (Hudson 1981). In this score he uses the synthesizer to replicate the sounds of traditional instruments, but with Blade Runner (Scott 1982) he uses the synthesizer to create new sounds that feature in the futuristic world (31) adding a sense of reality to this most unreal of worlds.
Because of rock musicians knowledge of the digital synth a significant number of film composers have come from the rock world. According to Hickman (382) synths feature heavily in 1984 with two of the top grossing films of the year Beverly Hills Cop (Breast) and Ghostbusters (Reitman). German keyboardist/record producer Harold Faltermeyer capturing the synth-pop sound of the 1980s with his soundtrack for the movie, including the theme song Axel F which went on to top the pop charts. Composer Elmer Bernstein wins the Oscar for best music with Ghostbusters. The movie's theme and title track performed by Ray Parker Jr. (IMDb) also wins an Oscar for best original song. Digital synthesizers were also impacting the slightly more avant garde with acclaimed Talking Heads movie Stop Making Sense (Demme 1984) being the first movie to use all digital audio techniques in the recording and editing of the film's soundtrack (Doherty 15). Japanese techno-pop musician Ryuichi Sakamoto of the Yellow Magic Orchestra composed the score for Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (Oshima 1983) and later for The Last Emperor (Bertolluci 1987). Peter Gabriel has been very prolific in this area with at least five film scores to his credit. Many other rockers have been called on to score mainstream films, Nile Rogers, Eric Clapton, Joe Strummer, Ry Cooder, David Bowie all having successfully tried their hands (Reay 76-7). However, Hickman also notes (387) that one of the downside of the involvement of rock music and musicians in film scores and soundtracks is that often due to commercial pressure a song is chosen for its ability to sell soundtrack albums (OST) that for its suitability within the scene.
In more recent years the trend to use synthesizers has continued. The Matrix's (Wachowski 1999) synth driven techno score sets the futuristic and dark mood and supports the action scene very effectively (Hickman 435). Techno also features heavily in Run Lola Run (Tkywer 1999) in which the director created his own score using mainly synthesizers. Yet another trend that has been brought about by the introduction of digital synthesizers is that more and more directors are composing music for their films.
Another impact of the advance of digital technologies on film music has been the rise of the disc jockey. If postmodern culture has been defined as the culture of intertextuality, (Reay 115), then surely the DJ and DJ culture is the height of said culture. Mixing musical genres, styles and samples, beats and rhythms to create brand new musical experiences, the disc jockey and DJ inspired and dance driven bands have started to make their mark on film scoring. Using digital CD turntables and mixers, like the top of the line Pioneers CDJ-1000 CD player and the Pioneer DJM-800 mixer, a reasonable skilled DJ can create sounds, beats and moods to match the pace of the action in a film. Belfast DJ David Holmes scored Resurrection Man (Evans 1998) and then was asked by director Steven Soderbergh to score Out of Sight (1998) and Ocean's Eleven (2001). DJ Paul Oakenfold served as film composer for Swordfish (Sena 2001) and has contributed to several of the Shrek movies (Spinner).
The research shows that digital advances in music have had a profound impact on film making. From a purely economical point of view it is cheaper to score films digitally, however this has lead to the human cost of live orchestra musicians being forced to leave Los Angeles altogether in order to find work elsewhere (Burt 241) the need to hire rehearsal space. Artistically it has allowed directors to employ a much wider palette of sound to score a scene; composers have enjoyed a greater opportunity for expression and experimentation with a larger world of available sounds at their fingertips. The relative ease and inexpense of digital music technology has allowed filmmakers to compose their own scores and incidental music, as well as inspiring musicians to 'compose' and produce films.
However, the socio-political impact of digital music in movies is a lot more difficult to quantify as it is true that there is: "nothing to indicate that significant developments in technology have not been accommodated by pre-existing social formations" (Willis 21). The message is in the film itself and not in the technology that goes it produce it, the average movie going public is interested in the product and wants the 'song' to fit the scene and possibly enjoy it for its artistic merit because: "At the end of the day people don't care about technology, just the services they provide" (Watkinson 1).

Downtown seen from a different vantage
Beginning in March, visitors and residents who stroll in downtown Chapel Hill can register their belongings at Stacey Kirby's "The Declaration Project," use their smart phones to scan and explore Parasol B's "Depiction" installation and ponder illustrator Franco's "Everyday People" exhibit.
Mary Carter Taub's "Mobile Mural," a painting that will be wrapped around a working Chapel Hill Transit bus, will be on view throughout town as the bus makes regular rounds.
All four exhibits are part of Chapel Hill's first downtown public art project, titled "Windows on Chapel Hill" and "Mobile Mural." An opening reception for the artists and their works will be held Friday at Vimala's Curryblossom Café on West Franklin Street.
A committee chose the works for the project, which is a partnership of the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership and the town's Public and Cultural Arts Office. Organizers want the installations to draw people downtown and encourage them to see downtown in a new light, said Steve Wright, public art coordinator for the town of Chapel Hill.
Rather than choose to create a sculpture or other permanent piece, the committee picked works they thought would involve viewers, Wright said. While sculpture and other permanent art can engage viewers, "the idea that public art can be temporary and does not have to last for centuries is a catalyst for artists to be risky and it keeps things new and fresh," he said.
Kirby's "Declaration Project," which she also installed at a previous Durham Art Walk, is one example of this engagement. Kirby will set up an old-fashioned office in the Yates Motor Company Building, 419 W. Franklin St. Participants are asked to fill out a form and declare the belongings they are carrying. These declarations are filed on index cards. Visitors can look through the cards left by previous participants. The exhibit is meant to inspire dialogue among participants about the meaning of belongings, obsolete machines and objects, and the purpose of art, according to Kirby's website.
Artist Parasol B's "Depiction" invites interaction from smart phone users. Parasol uses paint, photography and other media. Phone users may scan a barcode on the paintings, then follow a set of instructions for staging or composing a photo and submitting it for a community-created photo collection.
The main location for "Depiction" is Vimala's Curryblossom Café, 431 W. Franklin St., but in an email Parasol stated that visitors also may find barcodes at Kirby's installation on the side of the Yates Motor building and near Franco's exhibit at 108 E. Franklin St. To find the barcode near Franco's exhibit, visitors may walk northwest on Franklin Street from Walgreen's to the next alley where there is a large black and white mural next to the Carolina Coffee Shop.
Franco, according to his website, "synthesizes art and activism to form a genre all his own - visual activism." His exhibit "Everyday People" contains faces of people of different complexions and genders, all with happy expressions, which are intended to "convey a sense of pride and a state of harmony."
At Friday's opening reception, visitors will get a first look at Taub's "Mobile Mural." Taub took images from town maps and placed them on a medium that is wrapped around a transit bus. The exhibit, according to a press release, combines form and function by "blurring the boundary between art and everyday life."
Go and Do
WHAT: Opening reception for "Windows on Chapel Hill"
WHEN: Friday, March 8, 6 to 8 p.m.
WHERE: Vimala's Curryblossom Café, 431 W. Franklin St.
ADMISSION: Free
ALSO: The "Mobile Mural" will be parked at 421 W. Franklin St. during the reception

The expected completion date for construction of a bridge on Cherokee Road is now around Christmas, stretching the original date back by about three months.
Cherokee Road remains closed while Johnson City's Thomas Construction finishes a project that includes replacing a 25-foot single span slab bridge with a box bridge over Little Cherokee Creek just north of Maple Lane Farms.
The Tennessee Department of Transportation, which hired the firm and originally expected a Sept. 30 completion date as specified by the contract, has been charging the construction company liquidated damages of $250 per day since that date, said Mark Nagi, TDOT's Region 1 community relations director.
An early November update on the project indicated the job would be complete by the end of that month or early December.
"According to project supervisor Jason Farmer, the project is ongoing with the contractor waiting on the concrete to cure as per our standard specifications," Nagi said Tuesday. "The contractor plans to start backfilling the structure toward the end of the week, weather permitting. After backfilling is done, they should be able to pave, install guardrail and then be able to open the roadway. Target for that is sometime around Christmas, weather permitting."
Johnson City officials said at the beginning of the project that while no city school buses used that route, motorists trying to get to and from their residences likely would be inconveienced.
The project consists of replacing a 25-foot single span slab bridge with a box bridge. The closure is about 250 yards outside the Johnson City limits when traveling southwest. Motorists can take Tenn. Highway 81 at the junction of Tenn. Highway 67 through Jonesborough to Tenn. Highway 34 to Tenn. Highway 381 back to Cherokee Road (Tenn. 67). Nagi said the plans require detours to be on state routes, though local traffic can use shorter routes on county roads.

The Mets All-Time "2 Guys" Team infield is beginning to take shape. We have already filled out the left side of the infield with Carlos Delgado and Wally Backman; today let's take a look at the shortstop position. A few notable tough guys have played shortstop for the Mets. Lenny Randle became a Met in 1977 after decking his manager with the Rangers, Frank Lucchesi. But Randle only played shortstop once for the Mets so he would be getting into this club of ours on a technicality. A more important note: Randle played for Billy Martin right before Lucchesi. If Randle was so tough, how come they never tangled? Word is Billy could be a little confrontational.
Larry Bowa, who played for us in 1985, is known to this day to be a crazy and rough character. But Bowa was hardly a Met. He was passing through on his way to retirement. Thinking of Bowa as a Met is like thinking of Mike Piazza as an Oakland A. So I'm tossing Bowa too. After deciding that I didn't find Teddy Martinez, Wilson Delgado, or Jose Vizcaino very rough around the edges, I zeroed in on two guys. Tim Foli and Bud Harrelson.
Tim Foli, who had two tours of duty with the Mets, was always known as a fiery guy. His nickname was "Crazy Horse" due to his sometimes out of control temper. Two incidents from Tim's time with the Mets come to mind. Once in 1971, the high-strung Foli confronted Ed Kranepool and a fight ensued over the quality of his throws to first base during warm-ups. The much bigger Kranepool ended up decking Foli. That's right, they fought over warm-ups. Hey, Jimmy, can we re-do first base? His next conflict got him shipped to the Expos as he was traded within a few weeks of an ugly shouting match with Joe Pignatano. What do you think Jimmy, is Foli our guy?
It's easy to confuse "tough guy" with "asshole." I guess there's a thin line. I'm not saying that Foli was a jerk, exactly, because frankly I have no idea. But he tangled with Kranepool and Pignatano — those are the wrong enemies. (By the way, I have a Joe Pignatano story for you, if you've ever got the time). One player you didn't mention whom I suspect might have been the toughest of them all was old Roy McMillan, 7th on the all-time list of games played at SS for the Mets. Couldn't hit a lick. He was all banged up and broken down by the time he reached Shea, but Harrelson revered Roy and followed him around at infield practice. They used to call players like McMillan "the glue" of the infield and it's something of a lost phrase, but a great way describing the importance of that kind of player. As far as I know, the sabermetricians haven't come up with a "Glue Index Equation," so that quality is currently undervalued in today's baseball. That said, barring a last-minute write-in vote for Kevin Mitchell (24 games at SS, thank you, Davey Johnson!), I think this is a case where the obvious answer is also the best. You know as well as I do, it has to be Buddy. Pete Rose would agree!
I forgot McMillan, that was a good one, Jimmy. Roy had that quiet toughness that I admire very much, a Gil Hodges like quality. Good job there. And yes, OK, in the end I know it is Harrelson who is the pick. We start with the obvious example of his standing tall and taking on big, bad Pete Rose in the 1973 NLCS. But it wasn't just that one moment. Buddy was a gritty leader on those late 1960's and early 1970's teams, an era of Mets squads that was as good as any we have ever had. A great defensive shortstop, Buddy was the best I have seen at tracking pop-ups. He had an uncanny ability to quickly recognize where a ball was going and always took the right angle.
I just breezed through Buddy's book, Turning Two, which is an entertaining read for a Mets fan looking for a happy recap. Harrelson was the only Met in uniform for both the 1969 and 1986 World Championship teams. He credits Casey Stengel for turning him into a switch-hitter. He played under Hodges and Berra. He roomed with Tom Seaver. As third-base coach, he waved around Ray Knight to score the winning run in Game Six of the '86 World Series. He managed Gooden and Strawberry. In short: Buddy was there. At Spring Training when the players stepped on the scales, Hodges used to say, "You're the strongest 147-pound player I've ever seen." Buddy strikes me as an old-fashioned guy — not that there's anything wrong with that. Loyal to the organization, he's not going to speak poorly about anyone: Buddy takes his trash out to the curb; he doesn't publish it between the covers of a book. (Terry Collins is like him in that respect: a company man.) The worst thing that could have happened to Harrelson was the day Frank Cashen asked him, more like ordered him, to take over the reigns as Mets manager. First, he had to follow in the footsteps of Davey Johnson, who should never have been fired. Secondly, Harrelson never wanted the job. He did well after taking over in mid-season, 1990 (71-49 record), but then Strawberry bolted for L.A. and 1991 was just a sad, crumbling affair all around. Harrelson wasn't cut out to be a manager, hated dealing with the media, just not his temperament, and the team fell apart around him while he stood by and helplessly watched. I think Harrelson's reputation with the fans suffered as a result. When he caved to management's demand that he start rookie Julio Valera over Ron Darling in a crucial late-season game, it was all over. Valera bombed and the veterans fumed. In the book, Harrelson poignantly wrote:
I never wanted the job of managing the Mets, and I kind of wish I had never done it. Once you're a manager and you get fired, you can't go back (unless you're Billy Martin and you work for George Steinbrenner). I love coaching, and if I had never managed, I might have become this generation's Frank Crosetti (who coached for the Yankees for 21 years after playing for them for 17 years). I might still be there as a coach.
Harrelson's time as manager was painful to watch. He just didn't have the temperament for the job. WFAN had just started exploding, and I still remember driving into Shea listening to Mets Extra with Buddy and Howie Rose. It was clear Harrelson hated every second of doing it. Eventually he quit the gig.
In the end, things worked out well as Buddy's involvement with the Ducks has been a great match for both him and that enterprise.
Speaking of toughness, in Turning Two, Buddy tells a great Bob Gibson story. Harrelson was named to the 1970 NL All-Star team. He walked into the clubhouse with Tom Seaver at his side. There's Roberto Clemente, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, Willie McCovey, Dick Allen, and Willie Mays. They spied Bob Gibson sitting at his locker. Seaver walked up, said hello, and shook Gibson's hand. Harrelson extended his, but Gibson didn't move. Just sat there and glared. He wouldn't shake Buddy's hand. Years later, Harrelson finally questioned Gibson about that incident. He said, "You shook Seaver's hand but you wouldn't shake mine."
Gibson replied, "I never shake the hand of a hitter."

Rebecca's Mentoring Experience
Each FOSF scholarship recipient is paired with a volunteer mentor. That mentor helps them navigate their way toward the goal of attaining a college education. Rebecca Leach has been both mentee and mentor. Please read along as she describes her thoughts and experiences with mentoring. Her writing is insightful and heart warming.
Rebecca Leach received her first FOSF scholarship in 2004 and graduated from California State University San Marcos with her BA in Communications in 2008.
Mentors in My Life
By Rebecca Leach
My perceptions of having a mentor have changed over the years.
I remember when a woman from the Department of Health and Human Services told me I was getting a mentor. She said a mentor is someone who helps you.
I thought to myself, I don't need any help and I certainly don't need a new person telling me what to do, and then leaving when the "task" was complete.
Eventually, I would meet my mentor, Karen, when I was a junior in high school. She said she was going to help me get into college. And, she did.
I wasn't too sure about this person in my life and expected that as soon as she was done helping me write college essays or filling out the financial aid forms, or even helping me file my first tax return, I would never hear from her again.
Boy, was I wrong.
Karen sent, several care packages to my college dorms and emailed or wrote me letters to check in on how I was doing.
One day, I expressed an interest in learning how to make quilt. It was then, I learned, she was a quilter. Every Sunday, I would meet with Karen and she would teach me how to quilt, or sew or cook, or bake, or paint, or repair a broken chair.
But more than anything, Karen always opened her heart to me. I never felt judged or stupid around her.
She was the first woman I had ever met that didn't yell when she communicated. She was happy and had good relationships with other people. She had a college degree and lived an empowering and independent life.
She was a different from many of the women I knew. She traveled around the world, owned her own home, visited museums and attended the theater. Over time Karen became more than my mentor, she became my friend and a role model.
Building that mentor and mentee relationship took time. A lot of time. At first, I was reluctant to the idea of having a mentor.
Then, something happened. First, I started noticing that other people I knew had mentors. Other non-foster youth friends of mine, who grew up in stable loving homes, often found mentorship in college professors or their work supervisors.
Second, I realized Karen wasn't my only mentor. I had mentors all around me, in my daily life.
And then, I too became a mentor.
Some observations and relationships I have had, got me thinking about what mentoring really is all about.
Sometimes, I think former foster youth get caught in the idea that we are fundamentally different from everyone else. Seeing other non-foster youth interact and form relationships with people they consider mentors reminded me how just how similar we all are.
Everyone needs guidance, knowledge, connection, and support. Sometimes it seems impossible to get all of those things in one place. Along the way in life, I have learned that mentoring comes in many forms. Perhaps a college professor or supervisor at work will have the knowledge, connections and support to help you grow.
I also realized that the most successful people I knew were emotionally successful people. Those who are happy and content with their lives and are that way because they have at least one caring person in their life whom they consider to be a mentor.
Karen may have been and I still consider her my "formal" mentor, but I have had several persons in my life that I look up to for advice and guidance. Sometimes it was at college with a professor or another student in my class who helped me understand the material or gave me tips for better study habits.
At times it was a supervisor or colleague who helped me develop professionally.
It was the scholarship and mentorship of FOSF. They believe in the support, education and advancement of foster youth.
Recently, it is my friend, Lila, who has shown me the love, guidance and friendship of a mother figure. Lila nurses me when I am injured, sick or heartbroken. She cooks for me and is always encouraging me to eat healthy. She includes me in holiday traditions, just as if I had always been a part of her family.
Many of the people you meet might not consider themselves mentors; yet, you might grow and learn something from each one of them.
When I was asked to mentor a young foster youth, I thought me … be a mentor? How is that possible? I am not perfect. I have a mentor, myself. So, how can I be a mentor?
But as my relationship with my mentee has grown over the last four years, I have redefined what a mentor is. A mentor is someone whom you learn and grow from in small and big ways.
No one is perfect. And the one thing we have in common as mentors is our desire to help empower younger people. Some qualities of a mentor include honesty, consistency, integrity, and open-mindedness. Sometimes they believed in me when I didn't have the ability or strength to believe in myself. It is this unconditional belief and support that has allowed me to be successful in my personal and professional growth.
Along the way I have been introduced to theater, museums, and National Public Radio. I have developed life skills and had travel opportunities. Other mentors have introduced me to live jazz or other cultural experiences and events. It has fostered my love for the outdoors, traveling and ethic foods.
If I can give my mentee some of the things I have learned, and encourage them to achieve their goals, I would consider myself a successful mentor. I would not be the person I am today, nor will I be the person I will become tomorrow without the love, guidance and support of the many mentors I have been blessed to have in my life. And most of all they have become a part of my chosen family – the family with whom I am able to create new traditions.
If I could talk to myself as 16 year-old, I would tell myself that I am happy to have had mentors in my life. A mentor helps you, supports you, offers an open heart and helps you become a better person.
Rebecca Leach received her first FOSF scholarship in 2004 and graduated from California State University San Marcos with her BA in Communications in 2008.
She worked full-time while attending college full-time. Without the support both financially and emotionally from FOSF, Rebecca would not have been able to graduate.
Though generous donations from its benefactors, FOSF was able provide enough financial support that during her senior year she was able quit her job and concentrate on graduating.
FOSF encouraged Rebecca to accomplish both her educational goal of graduating and her personal goal of studying abroad. During that time she developed leadership and public speaking skills.
Rebecca considers the board, supporters, volunteers and other recipients, the family she never had. At her graduation, volunteers and donors celebrated along side her, giving her the same love and encouragement experienced by any one of the other students who graduated that day.
Currently, Rebecca lives in Los Angeles and is the Southern Region Policy Coordinator for a child welfare advocacy organization California Youth Connection. Her new goals are to attend graduate school, receive her Master's in Public Health and help young women become empowered members of their community.

Product description
How did the classical Greek city come into being? What role did religion play in its formation? Athens, with its ancient citadel and central religious cult, has traditionally been the model for the emergence of the Greek city-state. But in this original and controversial investigation, Francois de Polignac suggests that the Athenian model was probably the exception, not the rule, in the development of the polis in ancient Greece. Combining archaeological and textual evidence, de Polignac argues that the eighth-century settlements that would become the city-states of classical Greece were defined as much by the boundaries of "civilized" space as by its urban centers. The city took shape through what de Polignac calls a "religious bipolarity," the cults operating both to organize social space and to articulate social relationships being not only at the heart of the inhabited area, but on the edges of the territory. Together with the urban cults, these sanctuaries "in the wild" identified the polis and its sphere of influence, giving rise to the concept of the state as a territorial unit distinct from its neighbors. Frontier sanctuaries were therefore often the focus of disputes between emerging communities. But in other instances, in particular in Greece's colonizing expeditions, these outer sanctuaries may have facilitated the relations between the indigenous populations and the settlers of the newly founded cities. Featuring extensive revisions from the original French publication and an updated bibliography, this book is essential for anyone interested in the history and culture of ancient Greece.

"Think about the process and not the end result. Go in with a good mindset" Brenda Martinez – World Champion Latina Runner
Hit The Ground Running
I agree with Will Smith when he asks, "Why wait for New Years to start something new, when you can start today?" New Year's resolutions put a lot of pressure on us to become new people. Starting today allows you to take it day-by-day, bit-by-bit, and make real changes like the boss lady that you are!
So, what can you do today to run 2014 like a boss? First things first: start by looking back and then walk ahead.
Backwards Approach
Don't worry, chica, you won't fall flat on your face. Many times it's extremely difficult to figure out what you want and need. You become so consumed with the bad aspects of your life that you forget how resilient and savvy you really are. That's why the backwards approach is so helpful.
First, consider what you don't want. By doing so, it'll help you to become clear on what you DO want, and more importantly, why you want it. Once you have that clarity, the only thing left to do is focus.
Start Off On The Right Foot
What better way to get focus then with some honesty? Take wanting to lose weight in 2014. It's not enough to say, "Well, I'd like to be healthier and have more energy", when realistically you don't just want to to feel self-conscious in some of the clothes you wear or you don't want your weight (or scale) to determine your self-esteem anymore.
In your business you can't just say, "I'd like be more profitable next year." You have to be honest about why. Try saying, "I don't want to keep losing money in a business I love come next year."
Remember, this is the time to be honest with yourself about the things that aren't working.
Stop Asking For Permission
Boss ladies don't ask permission, so why are you? Once you figure out what you don't want, it's time to stop asking permission.
The no permission approach requires you to take action despite that little voice freaking out. You know, that annoying little voice that tells you no when your intuition tells you yes; it tells you that you can't do something when you know you can! For the most part, she gets a big say in your life. She disguises herself as a little voice that is meant to keep you "safe," when in reality, it's just fear talking. The no-permission approach is meant to keep you moving and get you past that fear and doubt.
"Paralysis is a choice. I am literally paralyzed, but in many ways I'm free. A lot of people are free of physical limitations, but are paralyzed by fear, anxiety, depression, and a sense of helplessness. They don't believe their lives will improve and they're as good as paralyzed." Christopher Reeve – Superman
You may be thinking "that's all well and good, mujer, but how do I just ignore that little voice?" Well, try:
- Taking quick and decisive action so you get past asking permission and doubt.
- Learning how to decipher what's emotion, fear talking, and what your intuition is saying. Intuition is what keeps us safe and leads us down a path to fulfillment.
- Making sure you keep focus on the heart of the matter, what you want, and why.
In doing all these things, you'll get out of your head and away from the fear that is stopping you. There comes a time when you just have to do it to see if you'll succeed.
When I moved to L.A., it happened so fast it felt like blinked and I was in a new city. I never allowed negative thoughts to overwhelm me with doubt. I focused on the importance of the move and how it would be better for both me and my daughter .
I knew that if I listened to my doubts, even for a second, I would have never moved. The sprint approach kept me focused.
Run A Marathon
For those marathon women who need to take their time with their decision, I offer the step-by-step model. Both the sprint and marathon model require action, but you decide the pace. Although my move to L.A. was quick and decisive, it started with a marathon. I never told myself or others I was going to move. I simply started looking at apartment rentals in the area, then I started researching schools for my daughter. All I wanted to do was get a vibe on how it felt to even think about such a big move. All of that turned into making a few trips to L.A. to see where, if I did move, I would possibly live.
But just like with any race, a marathon can quickly turn into a sprint at some point. That time is usually when you know you're getting close to the finishing line, aka decision time. You either sprint to finish or you'll psyche yourself, get burnt out, and won't finish what you started.
It's Called Accountability, Mami
You ARE a super mujer (cue Alicia Keys!) but even superwomen and boss ladies like yourself need a team, a.k.a a network that keeps you accountable.
In the process of looking for apartments, I started networking in L.A too. Meeting people out here and telling them my plans to move, even when I wasn't sure I'd move. Numbers started to get exchanged, invites to future networks were emailed to me, and somehow those women started turning into my accountability team.
You may not need a coach, business consultant, or trainer just yet, but you still needs those folks that keep you accountable. Those that will ask how things are going and ask the tough question when you're not getting started. So, time to start telling those you trust about your plans.
Run 2014 Like A Boss
The hardest thing to do at this point is remain "realistic."
Building a business takes time. Losing weight and being healthier takes time—even years. Adjusting yourself to that idea is a challenge, but one you must face in order to push forward when it gets tough.
Accomplishing your goal is never the end, but only the beginning. Just like when you launched your biz, you knew that this was just the starting line!

Re: The Journey of a pHD bodybuilder - Train, Eat, and Think like a Pro!
Here is my first workout for this journal! I'm not going to list my weights on machines, because I don't care what I do on leg extensions. Most of the time they are maxed.
Thighs, calves, abs, HIIT
Rest periods: 1 minutes rest between every set, or less. On some of the super sets, I just went back and forth between exercises.
Squat machine - 3*10, 6 plates aside
Barbell lunges - 3*12, 185
Feet elevated full squats - 225 3*10
Alternating leg extensions w/ seated hamstring curls - 4 * 15
Reverse Hack Squats - 3 *12, 5 plates aside
Dumbbell stiff leg deads w/ weighted smith machine sissy squats - 3*10-15, 110 dumbbells, 10+5 on either side of smith machine
Decline sit ups w/ hanging leg raises w/ leg extensions - 4 sets to failure (high reps), and 4 drops on the last set of leg extensions
For calves
Donkey calve raise machine w/ standing calve raise machine - 4 * 8-15 reps
Old school tibialis raises - 4 sets, static contraction and partial reps at the end of each set
7 minute HIIT - 20 seconds sprint, 30 seconds rest intervals. I would have gone a longer, but my gym was closing.
Then stretching to close it out.
TOTAL: about 90 minutes. 23 sets of thighs (super set =1 set), 4 sets of abs, 8 sets of calves. 35 Sets total.
That's about as good as it gets for thighs. [img]/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Pretty happy with that.
On my reps, I just approximate, because I lose count anyway. So that is probably plus or minus 3 on everything.
I like that one squat machine in my gym, because you can go super heavy on it, and it just feels good mentally when you do that.
First time ever I did reverse hack squats after watching Layne Norton do them. It's a really good quad exercise, and you can go really heavy on this, too. Very short range of motion. I'll go up next time.

Matthew 7:20
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove;
and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
