Digging Deeper: Finding Your Creativity Through Meditation

Wow, I love the analogy of ideas and fish. I also had no idea of the different types of meditation methods out there. I was first encouraged to take up meditation after reading the book, Mindful Manifesto (themindfulmanifesto.com). I know there are great brands out there i.e. Google hosting Mindfulness classes for their employees. But like others here, I struggle to make it a daily habit. However, as I'm currently trying to find some answers to my career change, and with David Lynch's post - I'm feel more compelled to make it happen. Thanks!
I can say buddhism and meditation have changed my life I am happy that more people are into meditation and the art of stilling the minf
mmmmm ))
Love reading about it, love doing it.
The fact that you haven't missed a meditation is 40 years is a little daunting for the rest of us to live up to. I try to do take time out for quiet time or meditation, but am inconsistent. I find that a good goal is just 5 minutes each day to start. Also, you can actually meditate in super short bursts throughout the day with the use of a short mantra or word. However, you manage it, being quiet is an art that grows creativity.
I appreciate reading about meditation and creativity. The trademark, the hefty tuition cost and the "I now bestow thou with thine mantra" thing have always made TM seem culty to me. I'm also skeptical of quick-fix, shazam! techniques of any sort. I personally have found vipassana (insight, mindfulness) meditation to be a transformational, freely shared, accessible practice -- no props, mantras or gurus -- one breath at time.
its a genuine post and having very good description....
I can't WAIT to make this a priority for myself in my life. I've been working meditation into my life but inconsistently. I know without doubt that in many ways it is the missing link to my untapped creativity, healing and improvement in productivity. Here I go!
very good post
Meditation is a wonderful practice, once I established a routine I found I looked forward to the time each day. Great article, thanks!
Beautiful article. I think it's important to understand the distinctions between the various forms of meditation. Research has now shown that the various approaches to meditation do not all produce the same results as one another — concentration, contemplation, mindfulness, TM, etc. — the different techniques engage the mind in different ways and produce different results. This is all covered here: http://meditationasheville.blogspot.com/p/how-tm-compares.html
David Lynch heads up the nonprofit David Lynch Foundation which has raised the funds to provide Transcendental Meditation instruction to over 250,000 at-risk students in underserved schools, veterans with PTSD, and women and girls who are victims of violence. David makes no money from his foundation--in fact he has donated large sums to ensure that others can learn.
I attended a Vipassana centres 10 day introductory course and it changed my life. I can't imagine living without meditation in my life now. I strongly recommend people giving it a go. They are free and all over the world. It provides you with the foundations of meditation without being forceful. You can just go ride the experience and take what you need.
A great meditation teacher is Susan Piver. With her online Open Heart project she meditates with thousands of people globally. If you subscribe (for free) you'll receive two email newsletters per week to introduce you to meditation practice: each newsletter will contain a 10-minute
This article couldn't have come at a better time! I just completed a Vedic Meditation course last week and can vouch for its benefits as mentioned in the article. I feel more grounded, more aware, more connected and more creative (I work in the design industry). I'm more responsive and less reactive, and am finding more opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals on a deeper level. Whether it's TM, Vedic Meditation, Vipassana, or simple meditation techniques using the breath or visualisation, it's definitely a practice that can change your world for the better... just remember though it's only with consistency that you get the goodies!
Well put and I whole heartedly agree! I've been practicing vedic meditation for about over a year. While it doesn't take away life's obstacles, it gives me a better way to look and (not) react to them :)
Great piece of writing here. Very concise, as Casey Caplowe mentions, but says everything it needs to in a neat little handfull.
Definitely something I needed to read at this time.
This is a beautiful, and powerfully concise essay. Having just finished reading another book on Zen practice, this is a good motivation to commit to mediation on a regular basis.
I'm interested in what book you read. I'm always looking for new literature :)
Katarina, its called Only Don't Know... its a series of letters to and from this korean zen master who set up a bunch of schools in the U.S. I think its totally amazing:
Training retreats or weekly meditations with others help to get the practice established. There is also a global peace meditation being called for Dec 21 at 5PM IST (3:30 AM PST) :-) http://www.wpsconnect.org/meditate.php
I would really like to get in the habit of meditating. It's something I've tried to incorporate into my daily routine but have never succeeded at. Any tips?
Do it when you get up in the morning, as one of your first morning routines.
I reckon this article is a puff piece promoting his business - but to answer your question - I did my own nearly 40 years ago after reading Alan Watts books - simple, choose a time you won't be disturbed (I locked the door to my room in a share house, and chose 20 minutes in the evening), a darkened room, place a lit candle about 4 feet away from you slightly above eye level, sit (lotus position if your knees can stand it - otherwise upright and attentive), and focus/concentrate all your attention on the flickering flame while listening to your breathing.
Thoughts arise - observe and let them drop. At first this is impossible, but with persistence, you will notice usual thoughts like celluloid film - each thought pulls the next association into view - you are not observing reality, just a movie of your own imagination - eventually there will be gaps between the thoughts - they will get larger - until - eventually - silence.
I did about 2 months of mostly daily mediation for 10-20 minutes of sitting still and concentrating - visual hallucinations are a side-effect of locking your vision, but past that - eventually - a zen moment of nirvana - an exploding vision of world consciousness - how everything is connected like spider webs of consciousness - everything is one - I just burst out laughing with uncontrollable blissful joy.
I went downstairs - sharemates thought I was crazy laughing at everything and unable to talk - standing around the kitchen I found I was 'hearing' people's thoughts - while one person was speaking, another sentence would come into my head, then seconds later after the first speaker finished, the next person would open their mouth and speak the exact sentence I just heard in my head (and to those who think 'predictable' - no, I tested it, these were not predictable sentences and they were exact word-for-word matches). The mind-reading fell away after a week or so, but ever after I have a crystal clarity view of the world around me which gives me joy every day - as I listen to people's latest moan about something, I think of the Zen monk in his hut, robbed of his few meager possessions by a thief in the night, looking at the reflection of the moon in the lake, saying 'I wish I could give him this beautiful moon ... !'
Frankle writes, "...you will notice usual thoughts like celluloid film—each thought pulls the next association into view—you are not observing reality, just a movie of your own imagination."
This image-concept, of "thoughts like celluloid film [as] just a movie of your own imagination," offers a great way of relating to one's "monkey mind" thoughts.
Thanks for offering up the beautiful moon, here on the eve of destruction. $; -)
(($; -)
Try taking the vippassana course in India, a 10 day no frills attached course offered for free. It is more intense, but will get you into a routine.
I've done a couple 10 day Vipassana courses (which are offered everywhere in the world) and it changed my life. Highly recommended, though it was probably the most difficult thing I've ever done voluntarily!
Yup it is really gruelling, unlike the new age MoJo about Meditation doing rounds!
You don't need to go to India to do this...
Yes you don't technically, but I guess the experience is very different in India.
Do it right BEFORE something that is already part of your daily routine. For instance, I started doing it right before I brush my teeth in the morning/evening and don't let myself brush my teeth until I'm done meditating. This works better than trying to fit it in after the end of your normal routine. Hope this helps!
I've been trying out some meditation apps and I'm sure they're not the same as what David Lynch is talking about- but I do definitely experience that sense of pure consciousness when I try them out.
Wow. Meditation is truly the spark that David Lynch describes here. I had never previously heard of an individual dropping all attachment and immediately hitting the level for bliss in TM before practicing for some time- but it makes sense that an artists who has as much focus as Lynch might be able to immediately access that spark. When all barriers drop away, and we realize that there are none between us and everything else- that is akin to the feeling David Lynch describes here. Wonderful!

Talking to Twitter
A great irony of Twitter, Inc. struck me today as I tried unsuccessfully to reach the company for comment on a story. While millions of people can talk to each other using Twitter's platform, it is exceedingly difficult to talk to Twitter.
The story I'm working on has nothing to do with the mid-Market payroll tax exclusion zone -- but it does concern Twitter. The company does not publish any phone numbers on its website. So, using an online media inquiry form, I sent Twitter a message seeking comment. Here's the automatically generated response I received almost immediately, from something called "Zendesk Admin 01":
Thanks for your inquiry. We are a small communications team based in San Francisco within a growing global company. Due to the high volume of requests we receive, unfortunately, we are not able to respond to many inquiries. When our team grows, we'll be able to respond in a more timely manner. For now, we will capture your contact information so that we can be in touch in the future.
In the meantime, follow @Twitter for news, interesting user stories, and updated stats about the company. Note that we currently only release global metrics and do not break out usage data on a country-by-country basis.
Twitter Comms
So my inquiry wasn't important enough to warrant a response -- but not to worry, they are going to "capture" my contact information. OK.
Undeterred, I set out looking for a phone number. Sometimes, if you type the address of an organization into a search engine, the phone number will pop up. Sure enough, a Google search yielded this: 415-778-6470.
A pre-recorded message thanked me for calling Twitter after several rings. I was then given the option of pressing 1, 2, or 3.
If I was a law enforcement officer and wanted to leave a message, 1.
For communications, 2.
For staffing, 3.
I pressed 2, and a robotic voice informed me that the voice mailbox was full. So I hung up and called back.
I listened to the three choices again. Then I heard this message: "If you know your party's extension, please dial it now. To hear these choices again, press star."
I pressed star. "If you know your party's extension, please dial it now. To hear these choices again, press star."
A loop! Groan.
I punched in "111" at random to see what would happen, and got another robotic message about the voice mailbox being full.
Guardian City Editor Steve Jones did manage to communicate, via email, with Twitter's CFO Ali Rowghani when he was writing about the payroll tax-exclusion zone -- but one of his email requests was completely ignored, and the only way he knew who to contact in the first place was by sifting through hundreds of pages of documents gathered through a public-records request.
Twitter has in its possession data associated with millions of users. It will benefit from legislation crafted specifically to keep the company headquarters within San Francisco city limits. Yet it seems next to impossible to talk to a representative of this company on the phone.
Why does Twitter have such poor communication skills? Let's Tweet about it.

UW–Madison's commitment to teaching and learning transcends the traditional barriers of age, distance and time. The university has embraced a growing movement in higher education to open doors to students of all ages, with many programs designed specifically to engage pre-college students, working professionals and retired people. Many programs are geared toward helping underserved populations experience the life-changing benefits of higher education. And access has become a 24–7 proposition, thanks to the growth of high-quality online degree options at UW–Madison.
Partnering to improve public education: Each year, more than 700 educators in K–12 education schools partner with the School of Education to give its future teachers those real-world classroom experiences that are so critical to teacher preparation. This partnership includes a unique collaboration with eight Madison schools that offers practicing educators an opportunity to grow professionally while they are preparing student teachers to succeed in culturally diverse urban schools.
Training technology's future: The DoIT Information Technology Academy is taking talented high school students from underserved backgrounds and transforming them into high-tech pioneers. Students who graduate from this rigorous four-year program are eligible for four-year tuition scholarships to UW–Madison. The program has been a resounding success, with 99% of students being accepted to post-secondary institutions by the time they leave high school.
Spanning generations: Grandparents University enables attendees to turn back the clock and return to college life, with their grandchildren in tow. The program allows grandparents and grandchildren (ages 7–14) to create memories and earn "degrees" through hands-on learning activities covering everything from lake research to rocket science.
Local culture tour: Twenty-six K–12 education teachers from around Wisconsin joined UW–Madison faculty and students on an eight-day tour, getting a firsthand look at the cultural richness of the state. Their journey took them from Madison to the shores of Lakes Superior and Michigan, stopping along the way in Muscoda, La Crosse, Eau Claire, Drummond, Bayfield, Ashland, Lac du Flambeau, Rhinelander, Door County and Wales.
Learning for life: Taking a wide variety of lifelong learning classes is now easier for Madison-area residents over age 50. The UW–Madison Continuing Studies Senior Learning Program provides intellectually stimulating, noncredit classes to Madison area lifelong learners age 50 and older, placing emphasis on learning for the joy of learning.
Expanding opportunity: UW–Madison's commitment to access for Wisconsin students took big steps forward in recent years. The Connections Program offers any student all of the University of Wisconsin Colleges two-year campuses along with many of the four-year campuses and several technical and tribal colleges guaranteed admission when they meet academic requirements after two years.
Fulfilling the college dream: PEOPLE, a program that partners UW–Madison with Wisconsin public schools, is identifying academically promising students from culturally diverse and economically disadvantaged backgrounds, giving them the ongoing support to succeed in college. More than 1,300 students are in some part of the PEOPLE pipeline, and 94 percent of graduates enroll in higher education.
Breaking down biotech: Thousands of children across Wisconsin have learned to "do DNA" through the Wisconsin BioTrek program at the UW–Madison Biotechnology Center. The program introduces students to the power and promise of biotechnology through fun, hands-on exercises, such as extracting DNA from a plant.
Helping gifted kids soar: College for Kids offers a challenging learning experience for highly motivated students entering sixth grade. More than 35 school districts contribute to this three-week program, which allows students to interact with peers, and encourages team building, and creative thinking and problem-solving.
Teacher advancement: A master's program for Professional Educators gives practicing teachers an advancement opportunity that fits their professional schedule. Participants become part of a two-year learning group and complete an educational psychology degree through a combination of computerized distance learning and summer on-campus coursework.
Speaking the language: More than 90 percent of students in the United States who study a foreign language choose French, German or Spanish — leaving a world of languages out in the cold. The UW–Madison Language Institute helps teachers in Wisconsin buck the trend through an online training in languages such as Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Korean, Persian, Japanese and Russian. The institute also takes the effort directly to students during the annual World Languages Day, which attracts more than 600 Wisconsin students.
Preschool literacy: The School of Human Ecology sponsors a service-learning program aimed at helping economically disadvantaged preschoolers get a "jump start" on kindergarten, while giving college students experience in the classroom. The Jumpstart program aligns college students with children, ages 3–5 years old, for a one-to-one learning experience through reading and in-depth discussion that helps children to develop language and social skills.
Lyrical language: Whether spoken aloud or written, words carry power. UW–Madison has a special class for teachers and youth services personnel, most from Madison and Milwaukee, on harnessing the might of spoken words and enlisting the talents of spoken-word poets and hip-hop artists in the classroom. It has proven to be a powerful social tool for students.
Engineering excellence: The Master's in Engineering Professional Practice (MEPP) program was a national trailblazer in removing barriers for working professionals seeking to advance their careers. Students take MEPP courses online — anytime and anywhere — and develop the leadership tools to take them to the next level. The Sloan Consortium ranked MEPP No. 1 in the nation.

We can help you find the right property for your new home, custom design your floor plan, deal with the county or city for permit processing, and get the best financing to fit your needs.
We are proud to offer more than 200 floorplans for modular and manufactured homes, ranging from 500 sq. ft. to more than 3,600 sq. ft, from such top manufacturers as Silvercrest, Skyline and Hallmark. You're sure to find a model to fit your lifestyle and your budget. Whichever model you choose, the Ma Williams touch means you're getting not just a house, but a warm, welcoming home.
At Ma Williams, we sell homes, not just walls and floors and roofs. Our clients don't live in "manufactured housing" – they live in genuine, inviting homes with all of the personal touches and unique features that make your home truly yours.
However, there may be some confusion over what certain terms mean in our industry. Hopefully, this explanation will help make things more clear.
Manufactured homes are not "mobile homes," though people still use that term to describe them. Today's manufactured homes are bigger and more deluxe than ever before, and can be permanently affixed to your property with a foundation like any other home. And since Ma Williams wouldn't let anyone live in a home that wasn't safe, or one they could be proud to wake up in every day, we build all of our homes to meet and many times exceed the high standards established by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The problem with the word "manufactured" is it makes houses sound like cookie-cutter boxes that roll off an assembly line. That's not what we sell. Ma Williams homes have hundreds of different floor plans and designs of all sizes and types. If you still can't find one that works for you let us help you custom design a plan just right for you. You can buy and finance these homes just like you would any site-built dwelling – but at a lower price. Find out more manufactured homes from Ma Williams
Modular homes generally cost a little more than manufactured homes, and take a little more time to build. They offer many of the same advantages as manufactured homes, as well as additional financing options such as rental financing. You can still choose from a wide range of interior and exterior appearances, so you'll get a home that looks and feels just right for you. All of our modular homes are built to International Building Code (IBC). Find out more about our modular homes

Suckers Announce New Album
By Jenn Pelly on February 27, 2012 at 1:30 p.m. EST

Video Premiere: Suckers: "Black Sheep"
By Larry Fitzmaurice on June 16, 2010 at 1:05 p.m. EDT
In this clip for Suckers' Animal Collective-y jam "Black Sheep", directed by the fittingly named Virtual Flame Productions, the Brooklyn indie rockers jams out to the Wild Smile track amidst psychedelic effects and VHS-styled imagery. All in all, it looks like a music video you might have caught playing on public access television at three in the morning. Except you're not watching television. You're staring at your computer.

MGMT, Yeasayer, Suckers Members Appear in New Movie Wah Do Dem
By Tom Breihan on May 12, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. EDT
If you're in search of this generation's Brooklyn hipster-pop equivalent of Singles (or at least Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist), there's a promising candidate in the form of Wah Do Dem, a new movie from directors Sam Fleischner and Ben Chace. Singer-songwriter Sean Bones stars as a recently-dumped Brooklyn skateboarder who gets lost in Jamaica after winning a free cruise. Norah Jones and Yeasayer's Ira Wolf Tuton also star in the film, and it features appearances by Suckers (who perform live in the film) and MGMT's Ben Goldwasser, as well as music from Santigold, Yeasayer, MGMT, Suckers, the Congos, and Bones.
The film arrives on DVD October 26, via Factory 25. Watch a trailer below, and click here to hear songs from the soundtrack.
Premiere: Suckers: "Black Sheep"
By Ryan Dombal on March 25, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. EDT
The new single from hotly tipped Modest Mouse devotees Suckers is called "Black Sheep". Feel free to stream or download it above. The track is featured on the Brooklyn band's forthcoming debut LP, Wild Smile, due out on Frenchkiss June 8. Suckers are heading out on a massive North American tour with label mates Local Natives soon; check here for dates. And if you like "Black Sheep", you can support it financially when it goes up on iTunes March 30.
Suckers Announce Debut Album

Since we saw Brooklyn indie rockers Suckers play an impressive set at last year's SXSW, they've gone onto take an increasingly familiar path-- release an EP with at least one great song, play shows with MGMT, do a Daytrotter session, sign to Frenchkiss.
Finally, their debut full-length is ready: Wild Smile comes out June 8. Most of the record was produced by Chris Zane (Passion Pit, Walkmen, Tokyo Police Club), and it features EP highlight "It Gets Your Body Movin'" along with recent single "Save Your Love for Me", which you can listen to here.
As a little bonus, the guys are offering a non-album cover of the Raveonettes' anti-rape song "Boys Who Rape (Should All Be Destroyed)", which you can download or stream below. Tracklist and a whole bunch of upcoming tour dates are after the jump, too:

Last year, Rising Brooklyn indie crew Suckers released their self-titled debut EP. And now, as they get ready to drop their first full-length, they've joined fellow Rising bands the Antlers and Local Natives over on the Brooklyn label Frenchkiss, which is quickly amassing one of the most loaded rosters in all of indiedom.
Hear Suckers: "Save Your Love for Me"

Earlier this month, we told you that Brooklyn up-and-comers Suckers had signed to Gigantic and that they'd release a new 7" on November 24 via Insound. But you won't have to wait until next month to hear "Save Your Love for Me", the sprawling, hymn-like six-minute A-side. (The B-side is a remix of Suckers' BNM'ed breakout jam "It Gets Your Body Movin'" by Chris Keating of Yeasayer.)
And yes, frontman Quinn Walker really is singing, "This world's a colonoscopy / Save your love for me."
Check below to hear the song:

Suckers [The Delancey; 7:45 p.m.]
Waiting in The Delancey, which is hosting the NME Showcase, I heard people around me repeatedly saying the name of the next band with exaggerated sarcasm-- Suckers!-- as if they'd just made off with the drummer's wallet. But Suckers neither suck nor get fooled. They're a savvy Brooklyn band who favor big moments and soaring chant-along choruses, and their reputation as a spirited live act drew an impressive mix of festival-going industry types and hometown fans.
Suckers Sign to Gigantic
By Ryan Dombal on October 5, 2009 at 1:05 p.m. EDT
Photo by Sam Fleischner
After catching our ear with their brilliant track "It Gets Your Body Movin'" and their self-titled EP this spring, Rising Brooklyn band Suckers are making moves. The group has signed with NYC-based label Gigantic and are prepping to enter the studio with producer Chris Zane (Passion Pit, the Walkmen, Tokyo Police Club) next month to lay down their debut LP.
In the meantime, they just released a 7" for "It Gets Your Body Movin'" in the UK via Make Mine. And there's another 7"-- featuring new track "Save Your Love for Me" on the front and a remix of "Movin'" by Yeasayer singer Chris Keating on the back-- due out November 24 via Insound. The band is currently touring all across North America, including a stretch on the Daytrotter Barnstormer tour. Click on for dates:

Sur La Table: Everything for the Inner Chef
Sur La Table is a favorite store of the wife and I. My wife loves to cook and I love to eat. Sur La Table has everything you could want or need to prepare a great meal; utensils, servingware, pots, knives, pans, gadgets, small appliances, table linens and food items. Every time we are at Ridge Hill we have to stop here and have never left empty handed yet.
Our last visit to Sur La Table we picked up a bottle of our favorite Bourbon Maple Syrup from Bliss as well as some extra large ice cube trays that I love. We've bought so many great things from here and I always love to see the seasonal merchandise; especially the Halloween items.
REI: Outdoor Gear
REI is a store that specializes in outdoor gear such as hiking, camping, cold weather, water and travel. I have shopping in outher REI stores before and find their merchandise to be of good quality and decently priced.
Our last venture to REI was in search of some items for an upcoming trip in November. We are both in the market for some new water shoes that are more durable and better equiped for hiking. My wife found a nice pair but unfortunately they did not have her color preference in her size; same here for me as well. We had to go online to find what we were looking for. Either way we still received the Labor Day Sale price which was half off of our items.
What to pay: The water shoes were normally $100; but were on sale for 49.99.
Charming Charlie: A Favorite of my Wife
We fist discovered Charming Charlie many years ago in Virginia and now there is a store here in Yonkers. Charming Charlie sells women's accessories and some clothing items for very inexpensive prices. My wife enjoys coming here and perusing the merchandise. She often finds a nice scarf, small bag or piece of jewelry to purchase. Soemthing I definitely like about the place is that everything is arranged by color; blues, reds, black, white, silver, pink; it makes it very easy to find what you are looking for.
REI: Buying a new pair of hiking boots and gear
This REI is pretty large with all the usual outdoor gear that you would need for any type of trip. I needed a new pair of hiking shoes for a trip and decided to stop in at the REI at Ridge Hill.
The sales associate was fantastic and assisted me in my search. I wanted a pair of breathable, comfortable low shoes that would replace my old tattered boots which were giving me trouble after my surgery, especially on more extensive hiking.
I had done research prior to me coming to the store, so I had an idea of what I wanted.
After trying on a few pair I settled on my shoe purchase. On to a jacket, pants and socks to complete my gear.
REI is a bit expensive but you are guaranteed to find exactly what you are looking for with all the outdoor name brands to choose from.
What to buy: My shoes were $110, jacket was $98, socks $9.95 each, gloves $16.95, pants $68.00.

Win this scow. Chincoteague native Barry Abell stands by the scow he hand-built based on old plans and designs of legendary Chincoteague boat builders. Abell has donated the scow to be raffled off to raise funds for a life-size bronze waterman's memorial to be erected in Reed Park on the Chincoteague waterfront.
- Filed Under
The Museum of Chincoteague Island and the Chincoteague Island Waterman's Memorial have teamed up to host a raffle with all proceeds directly benefiting the construction of a life-size bronze statue dedicated to watermen, their families and those lost at sea. The memorial statue will be located at a site provided by The Town of Chincoteague at Reed Park overlooking the Chincoteague waterfront.
The winner will receive a new, 16 foot Chincoteague Scow with a 50HP Mercury Outboard (4-stroke, Tiller-handle, Electric Start, Power Trim & Tilt), and Load Rite Trailer.
On most weekends this fall, the scow will be on display at the Museum of Chincoteague Island. The scow will also be featured at boat shows and events across the Delmarva Peninsula over the winter.
The wood and fiberglass scow was hand-built using traditional methods by Chincoteague Island native, Barry Abell, who developed the new design based on those of the original Chincoteague Island boat builders, including Herbert Jester, Charles Ralph Turlington, Louis Hancock and Shreves Wimbrow.
Abell spent 18 months designing and building the scow to benefit the Chincoteague Island Waterman's Memorial Project, which he founded in February 2006 to raise funds for a waterman's statue.
All the funds needed to purchase the outboard motor and trailer were donated by 50 Chincoteague Island watermen, businessmen and residents who also believe that a statue should be built to commemorate the work and sacrifice of all those "Who Go down To the Sea in Ships."
The raffle will officially begin on Oct. 6 at the Oyster Festival at Tom's Cove, sponsored by the Chincoteague Island Chamber of Commerce. Tickets will be for sale at $10 each or $50 for a book of 6 tickets. This will be a limited raffle event with approximately 4,000 tickets for sale.
After the Oyster Festival, tickets will be available at the Museum of Chincoteague Island and businesses around the island.
The raffle winner will be announced a year from now at the 2013 Oyster Festival. Additional cash donations by those who wish to support the memorial project are welcomed. Make checks payable to the Museum of Chincoteague Island.
In conjunction with the memorial project, the organizers are seeking information about watermen lost at sea, survival stories, any material related to local boat builders, and photographs of vessels and watermen from Chincoteague Island and surrounding areas that would be entered into the museum's archives and form the basis for a special waterman's exhibit.
Contact the Museum of Chincoteague Island at 757-336-6117 or Barry Abell at 757-336-3595 for any information regarding the boat, tickets, donations or the Chincoteague Island Waterman's Memorial.

The second one from a different seller was no better. I bought some better ones and have never regretted it. I also have a plastic tripod one of my friends bought for me at a garage sale ("I know you like pictures" she said) - I trust it with an external flash and thats about it.
Once a photographer is convinced that the camera can lie and that, strictly speaking, the vast majority of photographs are "camera lies," inasmuch as they tell only part of a story or tell it in a distorted form, half the battle is won. Once he has conceded that photography is not a "naturalistic" medium of rendition and that striving for "naturalism" in a photograph is futile, he can turn his attention to using a camera to make more effective pictures.

I often put three or four tiny scrapes of candle wax on the threads of aluminum filters or adapters before first use; the end of a birthday cake candle every inch or so around the circumference. That provides a slight lubrication that works into the thread but otherwise doesn't migrate much and seems to smooth out their operation.
I would advise not getting too gorilla-like in tightening such rings, just enough they don't wiggle or wobble.

If it's brass instead of aluminium then it's less likely to seize, but you just don't make a habit of leaving the Al one on your camera.
A tiny bit of candlewax on the threads will ameliorate this problem.

That's excellent advice.
Some folks tighten filters like a pipe fitting, causing problems that need not exist in the first place.
Filters and SURs are flimsy, having no strength against deformation.
Trying to separate those two parts seized together is particularly difficult since significant pressure will bend them out of shape.
Filter wrenches may or may not work.

I bought a set of cheap step-up and step-down rings and too many times, there were vignettes on my pictures. The size of my rings average down between 3 & 5 mm. I don't know what to think of that but I use less and less those rings.
One thing for sure, what matters the most is the ring size or tightening as DWThomas said. tightening is the rule, so far.

I have over 33 years of caring for children which began with taking care of my own children, and now for the last 13 years I have been taking care of my grandchildren while their parents are working. I am 54 years old but I have a young nature and spirit. I get around very well to be able to take care of children and to be able to be enjoyed by children in play and in other times of our being together. I have tons of patience and am very kind and understanding when it comes to how children learn and grow. I enjoy children very much and would like to continue to provide care for them. I am currently providing care for my very manner-able 4-year-old grandson who will soon be going off to school and who at the moment would also love to have a day playmate. Therefore, I am trying to find other children that I would be able to integrate into our daily routine or for us to integrate into a client's preferred routine and I be able to also make some money so that I can do some extra special things for my grandchildren that their parent cannot necessarily afford just yet. My involvement with children as far as showing respect and validating them has helped me to not have many discipline problems at all. I have found that when you treat and regard children in this manner as far as with the respect and require that of them coupled with the understanding of them, patience and love... that they are happy to please you; this creates a very happy cycle of loving each other even more and wanting to be work together. However, reasoning and using the above elements, quickly diminishes the bad behavior while at the same time announcing the consequences that have been established,(usually by the parent) if the bad behavior continues. Taking care of children is what I want to do until I can no longer do it. For me, this is much easier and less stressful. I suppose this is because of the pure nature of children.

Potassium Metabisulphite is sold in Home Brew shops and Boots The Chemist (UK) used to stock it. in 250gm Bottles.
Now back to Rodinal
What I was trying to suggest or rather asking is the effects of "the one SO2 and one mole of SO3 upon decomposition in water, both of which end up making HSO3- or the equivalent. It is acidic in water."
I'm referring to the "Orginal formula" Andresen suggests, and many book from Agfa in the early 1900's right through to the recent Darkroom Cookbook.
Yes it's definitely acid until the formulae is balanced with Hydroxide, my point is something different is happening when Metabisulpite's used because of the SO2 & SO3 which won't happen if we used the equivalent amount of Sulphite.
In most developers using small amounts of Metabisulphite it's probably irrelevant but in this old developer with such a high level it has to make a difference.

Jonesboro vs. Columbia
What: Class AAAA title
Records, rankings: Columbia is 27-4, and ranked No. 1; Jonesboro is 26-6 and ranked No. 2.
When, where: Thursday, 8:45 p.m. at Macon Coliseum
Admission: $12
Broadcast: GPB-TV
How they got here: Columbia defeated Lumpkin County 63-20, Fayette County 67-58, Sandy Creek 63-44, Westover (57-55); Jonesboro defeated Alexander (78-75).
Directions: Take I-75 South to I-16 East. Take Exit 2 and make a left. The Macon Coliseum will be on your left.
JONESBORO — Columbia has been in this spot before — playing for a state championship.
In fact, the Eagles have been in the Class AAAA title game the last five seasons, winning four of them.
But just because Jonesboro is making its first state championship appearance since 2004, doesn't mean the Cardinals are in awe of the situation.
"This is a very special game for us," Jonesboro junior Tracy Hector said. "We have been waiting on this moment for a while. There are a lot of people shocked that we have made it this far. We have worked as a team, and we have worked hard to get to this game."
Only one player on the Cardinals roster — DeAntre Mack — got a lot of playing time last season on a roster filled with nine seniors. The Cardinals lost at Statesboro in the quarterfinals last season, but a retooled roster helped them win the Region 4-AAAA Tournament and advance to the finals.
Jonesboro is lead by Hector, who transferred from North Clayton, and freshman James Walker, who was an eighth-grader last season at Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy.
"It is pretty amazing what this team has done," Jonesboro coach Dan Maehlman said.
Jonesboro has played back-to-back close games at Rutland in the quarterfinals and on Saturday against Alexander at West Georgia.
Columbia, which lost in last season's finals to Eagle's Landing, will pose the biggest challenge of the playoffs to the Cardinals. The Eagles are sporting a 27-4 record, which includes a 10-game winning streak coming into Thursday's 8:45 p.m. contest.
The Region 6-AAAA champions are led by junior Bryce Brown, who averages 15.1 points and senior Nick Singleton, who chips in 12.9 points per game.
Walker is averaging 15.8 points, but has turned it on in the postseason. Through the first four state tournament games, he has averaged 21.2 points. In the win over Alexander, he had a season-high 28 points.
"I'm just enjoying this moment right now," Walker said. "We worked through the summer, late nights, and all of our hard work paid off. We didn't worry too much about the missed free throws and missed dunks and all that, because I know my team, and I knew we weren't going to let those things break us down.
"We kept working. We kept playing and fighting threw it, and had our faith in God, and we got the win."
The Cardinals needed a game-clinching free throw by sophomore Zarrick Cooper to defeat Alexander, which came into the game ranked No. 1 by Maxpreps.
Austin Donaldson's layup with 31.9 seconds left gave Jonesboro a 77-75 lead, setting up Cooper to step to the line and nail the second of his two free throws.
Cooper, who used an unorthodox one-handed shooting motion, was overcome with emotion as he described his game clinching feat.
"It was hard," said Cooper, with tears streaming down his face. "I mean it was real hard to step up there and make those free throw. I've been working on my free throws all season long. I started shooting them with one hand because coach Maehlman told me to try it. I'm just glad that I was able to be in the position to make that shot and help send my team to state."

THE AUDACITY with which Puerto Rico's colonial voters, in 1940, handed the ruling capital a package program for their own economic salvation--carefully worked out, widely discussed, sworn to by all of the winning party's candidates, voted upon by the people in what could be interpreted only as a mandate to Muíoz--is probably unparalleled in modern colonial history. Previously, all major decisions affecting the island had been made in Washington. Moreover, the tenor of the entire situation was unmistakably such as to inform Washington that the Puerto Ricans were now ready and determined to take matters into their own hands, to create for themselves the reforms for which they had in vain begged the United States during the preceding decades, and to do this without regard to their political status--even as colonial subjects. There must have been men in Washington in those days to whom the entire matter proved again that Muíoz was essentially an irresponsible political adventurer.
The latter's first step opposite the federal government was, however, to write Roosevelt a letter of congratulations for his third election to the Presidency, in which Muíoz also mentioned his own victory and outlined the aims and policies of the Popular Democratic party.

Hercolubus, a planet so called by the sages of antiquity, is approaching our Solar System and is the cause of great concern for those who know about such cosmic phenomena.
In our former encounter, Hercolubus put an end to the Atlantean civilisation. These facts are duly related through all the "Universal Floods" of different religions and cultures.
The consequence of the very close proximity of Hercolubus will be great upheaval in all corners of our planet.
The internal fire will bring about innumerable volcanoes and earthquakes.
When Hercolubus is very close, a complete revolution of the Earth's axis will take place.
Throughout all the ages, great sages have deeply investigated the return of the "Red Planet" and have alerted us about this cosmic phenomenon.
The last great testimony was that of V.M. Rabolu, who left a universal message to humanity through his work "Hercolubus or Red Planet".

Man facing sexting chargeMay 09,2013
The Associated Press
ST. JOHNSBURY — Police say an 18-year-old Swiss boarding student at Vermont's St. Johnsbury academy is facing a child pornography charge after investigators found nude images of a 14-year-old girl on his cellphone that she had sent to him.
Eytan Baer pleaded not guilty on Monday to a misdemeanor charge of possession of child pornography.
The Caledonian-Record reported police began their investigation after the female student's mother became suspicious of her daughter's Internet activities. The mother told police and school officials that she was concerned her daughter had been sending nude pictures to other students.
Both Baer and the girl are still students at the academy, but they have been ordered not to have any "purposeful" contact at school or any contact outside school.MORE IN This Just In

Premier Hematology & Oncology – Florida Hospital Orlando
March 28, 2011 by Orlando Florida Magazine
Filed under Health & Wellness
What is Hematology?
Hematology is the medical specialty that involves the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the blood. Doctors of Hematology treat various blood diseases ranging from anemia, blood clotting disorders or other disorders of the blood or blood-forming organs. In fact, a hematologist will often diagnose and treat cancers of the blood, such as leukemia and lymphoma. Hematology is separate from but overlapping with the subspecialty of medical oncology. This is why hematology and oncology are mentioned together. Doctors of Hematology and Oncology have completed a specialized residency program after finishing medical school and a residency in internal medicine.
How hematology and primary care doctors differ
Beyond ordering a hematology panel and perhaps reading hematology results, your general doctor will not practice much hematology. While your primary care physician is excellent for most illnesses that you are likely to encounter, he will likely refer you to a hematologist if your hematology results are abnormal. Because doctors of hematology complete extensive additional training, they are the premier hematology specialists. In central Florida, many of the hematology referrals that are made come to the specialists at Premier Hematology & Oncology.
Why you might need a doctor of hematology?
Most often, your doctor will be the one to make a referral to a hematologist for a full or specialized hematology panel and workup. Some patients visit a hematologist directly, however. Patients that have been previously been diagnosed with anemia, blood clotting disorders or other disorders of the blood or blood-forming organs may want to contact a hematologist directly for treatment and follow up. These diseases can be challenging to and treat, a premier hematology provider can offer answers where others have failed.
If you need a hematologist
Before your hematology appointment, it is helpful to understand your hematology results so that you can have an informed discussion. For example, RBC stands for red blood cells, which are the cells that carry oxygen. If this value is low, it could indicate anemia. WBC, on the other hand, stands for white blood cells. White blood cells are the immune system cells that attack infections in the body. This number goes up in infection, but abnormalities could mean a number of different things. The third component of a hematology panel (CBC) is platelet number. Platelets help the blood form clots. If platelets are too low, it could mean that the blood will not clot as effectively.
If you are in Central Florida and want to speak with a hematology or oncology provider, contact Premier Hematology & Oncology.

Florida Hospital For Children – Pediatric Hematology

Florida Hospital For Children Pediatric Hematology
We often take our blood for granted. When we develop a disorder of the blood like cancer, however, we begin to appreciate how important the blood really is. When blood cancer strikes a child, as it does too often, effective treatment becomes the singular focus. Fortunately Florida Hospital for Children doctors of pediatric hematology and the children's oncology group are experts in fighting these diseases.
Blood disorders usually start in the bone marrow, which is the soft tissue in the center of the long bones of the body. Bone marrow is the place where blood cells are born but also the place where cancers of the blood come from as well. Many diseases of the blood can be cured with a procedure called a bone marrow transplant. While, cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma are particularly suited for treatment with a bone marrow transplant, non-cancerous blood diseases like sickle cell anemia and congenital neutropenia (low white blood cells) can be treated with the procedure, too.
In a bone marrow transplant, a doctor of oncology or of pediatric hematology infuses drugs into the bloodstream which target and kill the cancer and disease causing cells. Virtually all of the bone marrow is killed at the same time. Since people must have bone marrow in order to live a normal life, this is where the "transplant" of a bone marrow transplant comes into play.
In an allogenic bone marrow transplant (for humans, allogenic means tissue or cells that come from another human), bone marrow that people have generously donated is purified and made ready for transplant. The children's oncology physician or nurse infuses the donor bone marrow into the bloodstream of the patient. The marrow cells make their way to the bones and begin to make new, healthy blood cells.
While allogenic bone marrow transplant and autologous bone marrow transplant are performed routinely, it is still a specialized treatment and not available at every hospital. If your child needs this lifesaving treatment, you will be referred to one of a number of bone marrow transplant hospitals. In central Florida, the Florida Hospital for Children is the home of expert oncology and pediatric hematology physicians. Their children's oncology group specializes in the treatment of blood diseases and cancer, but also in the care of children. After all, each patient is a person and when it comes to pediatric hematology, each person is a child.
Good News for Bronchitis Fever Sufferers
March 14, 2011 by Orlando Florida Magazine
Filed under In the News
Bronchitis is a swelling of the lining of the air tubes. This condition causes the respiratory passages leading to the lungs to become swollen and increase mucus production. It is usually diagnosed by a doctor based on the symptoms that accompany coughing. This condition is also referred to as bronchitis lung.
There are two different types of coughs associated with bronchitis. If you have a lot of congestion you may have a wet cough; with this type of cough, while uncomfortable, is necessary to get any mucous and liquid out of your lungs. Humidity is very effective bronchitis treatment, it helps to break up the mucous, making it easier to get it out of your lungs. Try standing under a hot, steamy shower for ten to fifteen minutes. Make sure you dry yourself and wrap up good when you get out. A vaporizer, either steam or cool mist, placed in your bedroom at night will help you to sleep better too. Put some eucalyptus oil in the vaporizer as an expectorant to help get rid of the phlegm in your chest.
Do antibiotics work for either kind of bronchitis lung? No. Almost all cases of bronchitis are viral infections so antibiotics do not do anything to help cure bronchitis. Antibiotics are commonly still prescribed for bronchitis even though they can actually do more harm than good. Rest and low activity are recommended to alleviate symptoms. Usually treating the symptoms is all that can be done to help a person feel better untill the immune system can fight it off. It is very important to treat bronchitis lung as it can develp into pneumonia.
There are several natural products, herbal teas and syrups that can be of some help if the bronchitis fever is mild too. The herbal preparations for treating a mild case of bronchitis fever are too many to name here but they contain things like peppermint to open up nasal passages and help chest congestion, eucalyptus for chest and nasal congestion, preparations with this are generally for the vaporizer steam or chest rubs. Things like willow bark in pill form for a fever reducer but if you are under 16 or allergic to asprin you need to avoid it.
In addition to viral causes, acute bronchitis can be caused by chemical irritants. These include tobacco smoke, solvents, and gastric reflux. Smoking predisposes people to acute bronchitis. One way to prevent it is to quit smoking. This helps to decrease the amount of tar in the lungs and loosen up the bronchial passages.
Pelargonium sidoides is a plant found in South Africa. The root from this plant has been proven to be a complete bronchitis treatment, alleviating all the symptoms that go along with chronic bronchitis. Bronovil has the purest form of pelargonium extract in it. This bronchitis treatment comes in pill form and will not only ease the coughing and aching of bronchitis, it will also strengthen your immune system and actually help your body to fight the infection. You can read more about Bronovil at http://bronovil.com/. If you are suffering, or have a tendency to get, bronchitis, you will be very surprised and happy at how fast you recover if you use Bronovil.

4 Steps To Turn Your Date Into A Loving Relationship
4 Steps To Turn Your Date Into A Loving Relationship
4 Steps To Turn Your Date Into A Loving Relationship
If you are wondering why you are still single despite being a good catch, and why everyone else seems to have a partner in a long term relationship, you may already have exactly what you are looking for but not see it.
Arabella, a thirty-nine year old art dealer went through four or five guys a week and found each lacking in some essential quality until she followed the four L O V E steps.
Arabella had three criteria that she used to decide whether her date was worth her time and energy.
First the guy had to be attentive and focused on her feelings and needs – ask about her experiences, wants, tastes, bug bears and act accordingly. That proved she was wanted.
If it didn't happen immediately, the guy was burned out from her emotional list. Trust was broken and the relationship ended before it fully formed.
Second the guy had to take the initiative and make plans to be together based on their mutual interests – arrange to go out for meals, movies, weekend trips, skating, bowling etc.
If Arabella's date failed to make a plan one week, he was removed from her emotional list. Trust was violated and the relationship ended before it took root.
Third the man had to follow through on the plans – call to confirm, call to check in with her about the plans, or call in advance if plans had to change.
If the man didn't call on a single occasion to plan a meeting, he was eradicated from her emotional list. Trust was not consummated and the relationship ended before it took shape.
Why can't Arabella find a regular guy who treats her well and settle into a caring relationship?
Arabella's criteria are reasonable, common to most other people in dating relationships and make sense within the context of a caring connection. She was an attractive, good, loyal person, yet she seemed stuck in a negative spiral of opening up with hope and very quickly shutting down with disappointment and fury.
- after a short while she grew hungry for a close, reliable and predictable relationship
- Arabella went back into the dating scene, felt let down and retreated into her safe but alone mode – until the hunger started up again.
Each time Arabella threw a guy away when he failed to meet one of her three criteria exactly as she expected, she was reliving an older bad relationship and confusing the two situations.
Blurring past and present let downs prevented Arabella from giving life to a loving relationship
Arabella's father had broken many promises and made her feel as if she didn't matter.
When her current date didn't follow through with a promise to call, Arabela felt the same rejection, hurt and uncaring attitude. As a child she couldn't do anything about her situation, but now as an adult she has power and control.
As a child she would have wanted to cut her dad out of her life in protest at his lack of regard. Now as a grown woman she cuts the date who acted like her dad out of her life. Chop, he's gone and she is vindicated. She has prevented another man from treating her as badly as her father did.
But Arabella ended up alone
Arabella ended up never knowing that great feeling of being head over heels in love. No matter how much she tried to 'get into the guy' she was on the lookout for the slightest sign that he would act like her father. Since guys are human, he's going to mess up some time, and then the axe falls. Another man takes the fall for Arabella's father and she ends up miserable but in control.
Taking the four L O V E steps to a safe trusting relationship
L — Listen, before ending the relationship. If Arabella checked in with her guy she may discover that he is thinking of her, he hasn't forgotten her and cares about her. He isn't her dad who loves her one minute and disappears the next.
O— open your heart and mind. If Arabella was open to other possibilities as explanations for the guy not calling on time, she might discover that he had a work emergency, or that he was scared she may not like his ideas. Perhaps he feels inadequate and imagines that she isn't thinking about him. He isn't like her dad who wipes her out of his mind and has a good time leaving her alone to suffer and worry.
V —value what you have been given and shown. If Arabella took notice of and valued all the ways the guy has shown care, called, planned, followed through and been attentive, she would get a sense of the weight of evidence falling on the plus side. Perhaps she could allow him to be human once in a while. He won't be like her dad who constantly breaks the trust and security of the relationship, but a loving committed person who occasionally has too much to juggle and has to let a ball fall down.
E — empathize with him and connect. If Arabella allowed the guy to be a mortal with the same feelings as herself, she would not be the judge and jury finding him guilty of being her dad with circumstantial evidence. If Arabella examined the evidence and did the relationship DNA tests, she would discover that the guy is genuine, caring and trustworthy, and can keep showing it if given the chance to be who he is rather than trying to prove that he isn't a recent version of her father.
Arabella's odds of finding a good guy and entering into a lasting, loving and long term relationship are sky high if and when she follows the LOVE steps.
