There's this cloud of guilt that follows me around. It's relentless – it's there on saturday mornings, sunday afternoons, tuesday evenings…it feels especially stinging when I'm procrastinating – say, reading the latest self-indulgent prose on Thought Catalog.
I've struggled with this for almost as long as I remember. I remember filling out some silly survey back in high school (maybe one of those email chain surveys…I don't even remember) that asked something like "what makes you happiest?" And I think I said something like "being productive." I was 15, max. Little workaholic in the making.
Student life naturally lends itself to this no-boundaries lifestyle, where every moment theoretically could be put towards doing readings, studying, or writing papers. Add some extracurriculars on top of that and the problem is exasperated. One of the things I was really excited about when I graduated and started work was this idea of "closing the office door" – of being able to have guilt-free evenings and weekends, where I can lounge around watching re-runs of Law and Order SVU (Stabler and Benson are my friends; we solve crimes together), and not feel a tinge of guilt about it. Not saying five evenings a week of that would lead to a particularly fulfilling life…but it was a good option to have. Free time, to do whatever it is I want, no strings of "but I really should or could be doing x, y, or z" guilt attached.
Indeed it was pretty much everything I had dreamed of. I cooked elaborate meals, savoured in the joy of learning and trying new recipes, did my dishes with music on as I danced in the kitchen. And yes, there were some episodes of Law and Order. Life was good.
But this was short-lived. Within a few months I had found myself some new volunteering commitments to take on. I love getting involved in the community and putting my skills to where I think could make some sort of difference. It gets me excited and makes me happy – that's why I seek them out. But they also take away that dream life of evenings of freedom to waste away as I please. I guess I didn't want them to waste away, but I wanted the option. Ah, life is complicated.
The thing about the volunteering involvements that I tend to find myself in is that they are not time-bound. I'm not serving food at the soup kitchen. I like developing programs and organizations, drafting communication plans, developing fundraising strategies…for me, that's getting to the "meat" of it that's really fulfilling. But guess what the problem with that is? No. Time. Boundaries. Just deliverables and deadlines. The plus side: fantastic flexibility, I can be doing it at 11pm if I wanted. The down side: that guilt cloud is back.
It's ironic, really – there is a part of me that craves this idea of guilt-free leisure time, but the choices that I make consistently are completely against that. Consulting: not a profession known for its boundaries. Co-founding a social enterprise: who are we kidding – running a business is the furthest thing away from having boundaries. Compounding both of these at the same time: some crazy idea that effectively zaps away all of my free time. But I love them both in every other way.
There were some periods this past year where almost all of my waking moments were consumed with work or the Hub. There was just so much to do, and never enough time to do it all. I think there may have been a few weeks where the only time that I didn't feel guilty not working was when I was pausing to consume food. I didn't complain much because this was work that I loved, that I find meaning in, that I asked for. I didn't have to do the Hub, it doesn't help pay bills – but I wanted to. In many ways, it was a dream come true.
Around the same time some articles surfaced. One I received almost obscurely – from someone in high school that I don't really talk to that often. The article was titled "Get Busy Living", and the premise was that being busy gets in the way of living. Here are some excerpts:
We wear "busy" as if it is a badge of honor. We talk about "busy" as though it's something to be proud of. We let "busy" fill the void.
…We feel guilt when we're not getting things done…
When you're busy, you miss out on amazing opportunities. Because there's no time for creative thought. No time for trying new things. No time for taking chances and coming up with brilliant ideas. Busy clutters our mind from thinking clearly and objectively about what we really want and probably should be doing.
When you're busy, you can pretty much say so long to spontaneity. There's no wiggle room. There's barely room to breathe, much less room to really capture what the moments in front of us have to offer.
When you're busy, it wains our your ability to form strong relationships. To sustain bonds. To celebrate. To build new connections. Whether it's our family, friends, or clients, when we're occupying all of our time with getting "stuff" done, we're not making room to let anyone in.
…a life constantly filled with "busy" isn't really being lived.
Talk about resounding prose. The New York Times ran a opinions piece not long after, called "The Busy Trap", with a similar argument: Busyness serves as a kind of existential reassurance, a hedge against emptiness; obviously your life cannot possibly be silly or trivial or meaningless if you are so busy, completely booked, in demand every hour of the day.
I reacted negatively to these assertions at the time, though – while it made some good points, I rejected that it applied completely to me, because I felt that I was living my life. I was living the dream and finding meaning in the work I was doing, only this part of the dream temporary involved not doing much besides working. I didn't feel that I was being busy to fill a void – I was finding a lot of meaning in what I was busy with. It wasn't just filler, it was good stuff. It just happened to be a lot of good stuff. Maybe too much good stuff.
And then I burned out. I saw it coming, I was cautious of it – but hey, we needed to launch this thing and there was no stopping. There was a point when I snapped briefly at someone for asking me something, saying: "I just don't have the bandwidth to deal with this right now." I felt really bad about it. I worked harder at prioritizing and things became a little more manageable again, but I was still "working" 70+ hour weeks, easily.
So I put quotation marks around the word "working" above because it was a concept I struggled to define. In many ways it wasn't work because it was my choice to take it on and I wasn't being compensated financially…anytime soon, if at all. I was doing extra things for my paid job too, because it allowed me to pursue my passions there. But in other ways the choices that I made early on had morphed into commitments, which made it feel like work. And I guess the activities themselves resemble work, too. But volunteer activities often resemble work in their nature. And one could argue that volunteer activities are, by definition, leisurely – because it's what one chooses to do in their free time.
The reality was this: if I indeed have lots of free time on my hands, what would I choose to do? Pretty much exactly what I was busy "working" on. That's what I would actually want. Example: I would love to be reading about trends in social entrepreneurship in my free time anyway. Now I was doing it as one of my "extra things" for work…and suddenly it felt a little different.
The lines between work and leisure had never been blurrier. What had started as "leisure" activities had felt very much like work and had effectively taken over my life. What happened? Was the answer simply to do less?
As evidenced by this blog post that has quickly turned into a thousand word saga (I'm impressed you're still reading), my time in Jamaica has given me a good chance to reflect on this. Living in this environment has really allowed me to break out of my usual bubble and gain perspective on what's important for me, in my life. In my first couple of weeks I had a nostalgic taste of what it is like to have free time. I had taken care of things for the Hub before I left to last me for a few weeks, and since it isn't safe to go out on my own after dark, I had quite a bit of time on my hands. I plowed through almost all of my emails. Watched some Law and Order. Did more reading than I've done in a long while. Didn't feel that guilty for the most part. And you know…it was nice. I think free time is something I want to keep in my life.
But I also want to keep living the dream of spending some of that free time to do things I find meaning in. Without feeling like it's "work", or that it's a chore. So yes, doing less is part of the answer, I think – but I'm starting to think the perception on choice is also key to preventing that shift from "leisure" and "enjoyable" to "chore" or "work". It appears that once something becomes a commitment, the enjoyment seems to evaporate – it turns into a chore, something I "have to" do instead of something I "choose to" do…regardless of whether the action that created the commitment in the first place was very much a conscious choice.
Perhaps the answer lies in reminding myself of this choice. That all the to-do's, some of them not so enjoyable, ultimately stem from something that I do want to do. And that if I really didn't want to do it anymore – I can also choose not to. The reminder of choice helps frame activities less as obligations (which tend to have negative connotations), and more as enjoyable activities that I continue to opt in to. And things I have evolved into activities I don't enjoy…I need to opt out of. Responsibly, of course.
I guess there are also tangible strategies that I can employ to help make this happen. For example, not put myself into more commitment than I need to. Earlier today I was at a local yoga studio, trying out their zumba class. It was so much fun and I'd love to do it more. But with this thinking in mind, I know that signing up for a regular class could increase the risk of me seeing it as a "chore" rather than an activity of choice. So I'm going with the drop-in classes approach. It's a tad more expensive, but worth it if it means that I'm actually going to enjoy myself when I go, rather than the dread of "I have to"…perspective.
From experience, I also know that things tend to feel more obligatory as their due date draws closer. Another strategy I'm going to try: do activities way ahead of their deadlines, so that they don't feel as much like obligations. I've had some success with making "must do" and "nice-to-do" lists each day. They help me prioritize for the day. Though maybe I should rename them, to the "to-do list" and then the "I want to do list". It's still good to write lists because I get such satisfaction from checking boxes off, but I need them to not feel like obligations, and reinforce the idea of choice.
I also need to set up some boundaries and carve out some guilt-free "me-time", for me to do as I please. To flip that round, maybe I can carve out hours on the weekends / evenings to be productive, and be pleased with whatever I get done in that time. An article earlier this month on "Be More Productive. Take Time Off" argued that "when there's less time to work, you waste less time. Constraining time encourages quality time." Which I think has a lot of wisdom. So many a times I am on my email trying to get through it and it takes forever because I get sidetracked way too often. I also tend to have a short attention span, especially when I'm not under pressure. I regularly have 15 tabs open (that has got to stop). When I'm on a deadline with constrained timeframes I am great – I can stay focused for hours, just hammering away, until my stomach alerts me that it's time to eat. There really is magic in doing one thing at a time.
Without bounded timeframes though, it's a bit of a free for all. I feel like I'm going to be here forever anyway, so I might as well "reward" myself by (continuously) checking my Twitter, reading some fun articles, check what's new on Facebook, find some new music for my playlist…because there is no time bound, my focus wanes and I end up being less productive, more guilty, and ultimately less happy. Ok, so maybe what I will do is set time boundaries on "productive time", with dedicated activities for that time (the "to-do list") as goals. And maybe I won't get through the activities in that time, but I'll have to stop anyway. Whatever gets done gets done, and the rest of the time is for me – to do as I please and follow what my heart desires, with no guilt attached because I had already put in my time during my "productive" block hours. The "I want to do list" will serve as a guide and reminder of things I enjoy and find fulfillment in, but I am not limited to that list either. If I am so inclined to return to incomplete activity sometime later in the day, I can – but I don't have to. And if I don't, I surely shouldn't feel guilty about it. It can wait until the next block of productive time. In some ways the work is never over, but I need to stop for my own sanity and well-being.
I also need to watch my plate. Mostly, in how I fill it up. Over the last 10 years I have been incredibly lucky with amazing opportunities that have come my way. I always want to take them all, because they are always too good to pass up. And these are all things I want to do. But too much of good things, especially when it's things like awesome community projects, can get overwhelming and exhausting. I need to budget free, non-productive time in my days when evaluating my own availability. Otherwise I'm on that fast track to burnout in no time.
Remember that Get Busy Living article I quoted? And how I had rejected it at the time as something that applies to me? It's funny how much more resonating it is now as I am seeing it with a broader perspective. As the article put it so eloquently…
Here's to scheduling time not to be busy. To having the room to breathe. To sustaining bonds, to celebrating, to building new connections, to letting people in. To doing things I want to do without feeling guilty.
Off I go.
Special thanks to Bryn for planting the seeds for me to think through this, for caring for my well-being when I wasn't in a place to do that myself. For telling me that working at 10pm isn't normal. xo

Dear Volvo: Stop Trying To Fight The Germans And Embrace Your Volvo-ness
I really want to root for Volvo.
I really want to root for Volvo.
Volvo officially introduced a 508 horsepower S60 Concept built by Polestar Performance at the Gothenburg City Race in Sweden yesterday. The turbo sports sedan features a six speed manual and is capable of a 3.9 second run from 0-62 mph.
The current Volvo S60 R-Design — like all R-designs — has been limited to suspension tweaks and expensive aesthetic upgrades. No more! An inside source tells us the next R-Design S60's getting a power boost.
We were just saying something about needing the Focus RS500, we think — can't really remember because this 410HP, mid-engined, rear-wheel-driver Volvo S60 headed for the Belgian Touring Car Series wiped out our memory. Imagine if it where a wagon.
Here's what you need to know about the all-new Volvo S60 ham sandwich: it's very safe to eat, the handling is rather crisp (but only on the outside), and it's more Italian than Scandinavian.
The Chinese have bought Volvo, but can the newly-redesigned 2011 Volvo S60, unveiled this morning ahead of next month's Geneva Motor Show, finally elevate the Swedish-founded and American-tainted brand from knock-off Canal St. faux-luxe to a true entry-level luxury contender?
The upcoming 2010 Volvo S60 will be equipped with a system to detect the position, direction of travel and velocity of pedestrians and cyclists, then automatically brake to avoid colliding with them.
Featuring Volvo's new "racetrack" design, the Volvo S60 Concept previews the newest safety and design features we expect to see on Volvos in the future.
This video on the creation of the all-crystal center console in the Volvo S60 Concept, debuting at the Detroit Auto Show, is so Swedish, it should just have the title "Bork, bork, bork!"
Apparently normal hinged doors aren't good enough for the recently unmasked Volvo S60 Concept. Make 'em open automagically, and make the rear doors translate and rotate instead of swing. That's better.
Volvo's set to debut the S60 Concept at next month's Detroit Auto Show as a preview of what to expect out of the 2010 Volvo S60. Full scoop and early press photos below.
According to the boys at Motive, rumors of the demise of the Volvo S60 may be premature, especially when you consider it's the top-selling sedan from the Swedish automaker. Of course you've got to keep in mind Volvo's run by Ford (for the moment anyway), the same company that killed their own top-selling sedan, the…
A quick-on-the cameraphone reader caught what appears to be a Volvo prototype headed south on I-275 outside of Detroit — likely North Carelton. It's the same route Michigan troops followed on their way down to battle the Ohioans in the battle of Toledo, which may be significant in a manner we're not yet aware (those…

Are Royalty Agencies Stealing Your Money
Please click on the image above to enlarge
When you become a member of a royalty agency you give them control of your music so they can collect your royalties if it is played live on radio, or basically any public performance. Now you don't give them that control over your music so they can go out and collect your royalties and keep them for themselves or give your royalty payment to someone else. But that seems to be what is happening in Ireland and on a global scale in fact. We have two main agencies that collect music royalties. IMRO and PPI.
You have not sold your music or given away the Intellectual Property rights of the music.
You have merely given these agencies control of your music to license on your behalf any public use by a commercial business of your music. If a commercial outlet such as a Radio Station uses your music on a public broadcast you are entitled to be paid a royalty payment. The royalty agency was set up to act on your behalf to collect the royalty payment from the Radio Station and distribute this royalty to you, minus some expenses for collecting the money. These expenses are enormous in Ireland.
Copyright Act
Right to equitable remuneration where rental right transferred.
125.—(1) Without prejudice to the generality of section 124 , where an author has transferred his or her rental right he or she retains the right to equitable remuneration for the rental.
(2) The right to equitable remuneration conferred by this section shall not be waived by the author and the author shall not assign the right to equitable remuneration except to a collecting society for the purpose of enabling the collecting society to exercise that right on his or her behalf.
(3) The right to equitable remuneration is transmissible by way of testamentary disposition or by operation of law, as personal or moveable property and it may be further transmitted, including by assignment, by any person who legally acquires the right.
(4) Equitable remuneration under this section is payable by the person to whom the rental right is transferred or any successor in title.
(5) Subject to section 126 , the amount payable by way of equitable remuneration is that which has been agreed by or on behalf of the persons by and to whom it is payable.
(6) An agreement is void in so far as it purports to exclude or restrict the right to equitable remuneration conferred by this section.
(7) References in this Part to the transfer of the rental right by one person to another include any arrangement having that effect whether made by them directly or through intermediaries.
(8) In this section, "collecting society" means a society or other organisation which has as one of its main objects the exercise of the right to collect equitable remuneration under this section on behalf of more than one author.
Irish Music Rights Organisation – IMRO
It states on their website: IMRO
Collects royalties on behalf of songwriters, lyricists, composers, arrangers of public domain music and music publishers.
IMRO will collect and distribute royalties earned by you for public performances of your music in Ireland. Public performances include radio/television broadcasts, live performances and online uses
Phonographic Performance Ireland
PPI Website States:
PPI is the only organisation in Ireland to collect royalties for copyright recorded music on behalf of record companies and performers.
IMRO and PPI
IMRO states it distributed 40.1 million in royalty payment in 2013, to members and affiliate members and cable rights holders.
So who got all this money?
The running costs of these agencies are staggering, can go into millions every year. They can even use Irish laws to take people to court if they don't pay them.
But those laws are there to protect us too. Intellectual Property and Copyright Law is there to protect us as well as these agencies. If these agencies are not paying us the money they have collected for us they are abusing these laws. Your Intellectual Property of your music is still yours.
The Intellectual Property Act was put there to ensure your work would be recognized as yours. It states in that Intellectual Property Act, the conditions applicable to your work and businesses that use your work are to compensate your for the use of that work, in their commercial business. They cannot use your music without having license to do so. The Copyright law is there to enforce any misuses of your work.
Now if you have given a royalty collection agent permission to license your work for public broadcast in what ever form and that agent collects money on your behalf and does not give you the money, he is breaking that law. You have been deceived and misrepresented.
A royalty agent cannot or should not, accept a logging situation from a radio station where you have been played and you have not appeared on that log. It cannot or should not, accept a sample log from that station because you may have in fact been played and if you are not on that sample log, you get no royalty payment.
That would be negligence on behalf of the royalty agency who has licensed your music work to that station, he would not be representing and protecting the Intellectual Property of your music properly, and therefore allowing the radio station to use your copyrighted music without paying you a royalty.
A royalty agent cannot legally give a blanket license to a radio station to play all the music the radio station wished to play from that portfolio without getting back a complete 100% playlist of all music played from that portfolio. Because the agent would not know who had been played and could not divide the money paid to the agent for the use of the copyrighted music within the blanket license to the artists that had actually been played.
This is the same across the board in shops, businesses, hotels, restaurants, whatever, your Intellectual Property ownership of your music never changes, it still belongs to you. It must have the same protection for any public broadcast.
If for instance a pub paid IMRO or PPI a yearly license to play music on their premises. They played your CD or Song in that premises, you would be entitled to get some royalties out of that payment.
But here is the strange thing, when IMRO or PPI collects the payment from that pub and your music is played IMRO or PPI have no idea your music has been played or not, in most cases. They have no system in place to track the actual music played. They say as mentioned in other articles, they do all these survey's and so on but still they have left your music to be played on a blanket license without having a proper structure in place for you to get the royalty payments, you may in fact get nothing.
So who gets your money?
They have plenty of resources to go out and collect the money but seemingly no resources to find out what music is actually being played in the pub or venue.
But that is their responsibility
That is what those businesses
Were setup to do
Otherwise they should not be trading
From IMRO Website:
IMRO will collect and distribute royalties earned by you for public performances of your music in Ireland. Public performances include radio/television broadcasts, live performances and online uses
PPI Website States:
PPI is the only organisation in Ireland to collect royalties for copyright recorded music on behalf of record companies and performers.
They have collected your money
So where is it?
They have licensed a commercial business to use your music protected by Copyright Law to be played on a commercial premises and you may have receive no royalty payment. So where is it?
On a local basis this has a devastating effect on local musicians who would play some of their own music live in venues or have their music played on the system in the pubs, yes IMRO collect money for live gigs in Venues as well, big or small.
Bands or individuals are entitled to royalty payments if you are playing some of your own music during your gigs if IMRO has a music license issued to that Venue for Live performance.
They go to the venue, or business, measure up the premises, issue a bill accordingly, usually get paid (or take the owners to court if they don't pay) and have little or no idea what music is being played in the premises, (ever in fact in most cases) unless something specific is going on and they have, for some reason need to contact the premises again. That premises is then billed yearly from then on.
Your music could be played on a background system everyday in that venue and they wouldn't have a clue and as you may never come up on their surveys or radio sample and consequently you would get no money. But a music license has been paid and you should be getting part of that money.
But a system was shown to IMRO, how to collect the data from live bands performing in pubs some years ago but they refused to engage with it and have done nothing since.
So the local bands CD's or Mp3's are played on the sound systems and so on and the two royalty collection agencies in the country have no idea what is being played in most of these premises nation wide.
So how do they figure out who to give the money to, legally they can't, because they don't have the correct information. But they collect and distribute the money anyway to whomever they want and the music owner that was played may get nothing. But that music owners, music was used in a commercial premises and is entitled to a royalty payment.
It will be interesting to trace the actual money distribution for the past twenty five years.
It is now a known fact from our research
That thousands of people are getting absolutely nothing.
Some people have received NO Royalty PAYMENTS for
Over twenty years
So where did that money collected on behalf of these members go?
Why doesn't the entire membership of these agencies get their money?
Who is pocketing all our money?
IRSC codes are not tracked either we have been told by a person in PPI. So who knows who is being played in shops, gyms, banks, pubs on background systems?
If you get an album printed / duplicated for instance, you have to pay at source for any cover track, you have recorded on the album, you pay royalties to the owner of the cover songs. This is a very good idea in theory, but in reality what is actually happening? What happens the money?
From speaking to a PPI representative, this information was relayed: this money is paid to PPI but if that person who owns the songs you have recorded is not a member of PPI, they may not get any money, because they are not a member of PPI?
So who gets the money, who does it go to?
If someone records one of your tracks and they pay the money when they get their CD's printed that money goes to PPI, but you are not a member of PPI, so you may not get the money either, you don't even know the money has been paid.
So who gets the money, who does it go to?
These are the questions we want answers to.
We will get our answers in court.
Do you want to join this group?
It's Free.
Are you having the same problem? Contact us
No one person within a blanket license is entitled to more than another if the amount of public airplay cannot be
100% determined across all media.
Please look at that statement above carefully
We are aware that neither IMRO nor PPI have full records of all airplay because they never put the structure in place to achieve that. Please reference other articles on the website for reference to these.
Basically, if a blanket license cannot provide a full and comprehensive payment structure for all its members and cannot track public performances 100% that blanket license cannot be a legal document. It lets its members open to having their music played publicly and no royalty payment is received. The Intellectual Property Act makes it quite clear that this is not to be the case.
We have been told about all these complicated strategies these royalty agencies have in place all over the world to calculate the amount of airplay of public broadcasting. They mean absolutely nothing, they are just pure guessing and in doing so excluding some of their membership from payments. There is in fact no way to figure out who should get paid.
Are you on the "Guess List"?
If not, you will not get your royalty payments.
You can't just get figures from a Guess List and decide to make a stab at paying people, it is absolutely ridiculous. But only ridiculous for some, it seems to quite beneficial for others, those on this Guess List. But who are the others on that Guess List that is the question?
Guessing is certainly not good enough when you are going out threatening to take people to court if they don't pay you. Their guessing is costing us a lot of money and they are misrepresenting us and our copyrighted music because we are not on the Guess List.
These agencies are not serving the purpose they were set up for and will have to be replaced and should pay us back the money collected belonging to us.
They should also be prosecuted in our opinion.
We have contacted police agencies calling for an investigation into what now seems to be a Global Misappropriation of our money not just in Ireland.
The money collected here is going world wide through Affiliates of the Irish Royalty agencies. It is a fact also that there are other agencies around the world using similar systems which are basically doing the same thing. Collecting money for one member and giving it to another due to lack of proper information for distribution.
What is actually going on here? This is a massive movement of money going around the world, but who is getting it all, billions. Is this a system for all the big boys of the music industry to get the lions share of the money collected?
Lets see
Royalty agencies should not be allowed to trade without having a system that can track all music publicly played. They cannot represent members of a royalty collection and distribution organisation because they have not got the proper payment information at their disposal.
Please Note: The points raised on this website are not a reflection of the performance or of any involvement of the royalty agencies paid staff.
And if any statements were made in haste and anger in a previous publication of this article we offer a sincere apology.
We find it a real pity that the arrogance of these agencies has led to this, all out situation now.
All we ever wanted was the money owed to us.
How awful to think that some of the most brilliant and respected, by us, of our countries top artists may now be dragged into this and maybe their reputations smeared, all because of a few who would not put this essential structure in place properly. For this we are truly sorry.
But maybe the time is right to bring it to a head
To sort it out properly once and for all.
We have to stand up for our rights through this website and protest at this wrong being inflicted upon us. We have had years of being ignored and brushed aside, condescending remarks and basically made feel like stupid fools every time we contacted these agencies looking for our money. They asking for playlist they should have on their records and had responsibility for getting, but as stated above they have no system to collect these records.
This is the last outlet affordable and practical available to us, and we are far from fools I can assure you. There is no one too big to be beyond reproach.
The information that remains on the website is factual from the information available to us presently, until it can be proven otherwise.
Documentation from various sources has been sought under the freedom of information act to corroborate the figures and facts we now have. We will publish the updates as they arrive.
We have received a legal threat
To have this website removed.
But thank God for the Internet. Blogs, Social Media, Advertising, one site down another fifty up., not by the same website owner obviously.
We Will Not Be Silenced This Time.
As soon as the police investigation starts we will be seeking to have these agencies "Right To Trade" removed and will be contacting their Webhosts to have their websites taken offline.
We will be referring this matter to the companies registration office for assessment also because the Articles of Association of these agencies seem to conflict with their collection and distribution methods, and consequently members can suffer deceit, misrepresentation and funds collect on their behalf, misappropriated.

Left today on a backpacking trip with Mark Blacksten, Todd Boykin, Nolan Huckabay, Emmet Polster, and Shane Ward. We returned to the Bushnell Lakes, a series of three interconnected alpine lakes near Coaldale, Colorado (not far from Salida along the Arkansas River). The trail we hiked was about 6 miles up, with a 4,000-ft. elevation gain. A pretty serious hike.
We got rained on several times on the way up, and the total hike ended up taking more than six hours.
At the trailhead…
Along the trail.
The first scenic overlook, 3 miles up the trail.
Second nice overlook. Clouds starting to roll in.
Eventually it started raining on us, about two miles short of our destination at the first lake (10,500 ft). It rained on and off for the next few hours.
We arrived in the rain, waited for it to end, then set up some tarps and got everything put together. We had a couple hours of late-evening sunshine before the rain started up again. Here we are during the break.

A hip replacement kept Soo Hill resident Lynn Richards from golfing as a retirement sport. Now he says he's found something better that gets him exercise and a prize along the way. He's been metal detecting for nearly eight years.
"Oh, I love it," said Richards. "I get with the guys, we go and we have a good time."
Those guys are all part of the Yooper Coinshooters, a club that meets once per month and heads to local parks and beaches to find what's buried underground. Richards says he's found some keepers.
"Last year I found an 1853 large cent," Richards said.
And that's not all. He also has a collection of silver dimes, Canadian cents, tokens, and even some copper. Those are just some of the many things to find here in the U.P.
"There's a lot of history buried in the ground," said Dave Myers, owner of Discount Vacuum in Marquette.
At Discount Vacuum in Marquette, you can find a metal detector, but more money gets you more sophisticated equipment.
Facebook fan Amanda Stenson Johnson writes, "I bought one for my husband for Christmas. He has just lately started to tinker around with it. I came home the other day and there was the ugliest rock I had ever seen--that was his treasure from his first day using it."
Myers says don't underestimate those rocks. Some meteorites are rare in quantity but high in value. Around the world, they've been sold for thousands of dollars.
"There's a special crystalization that's formed in the rock due to the tremendously slow rate of cooling that has to take place in outer space," Myers said. "That crystalization cannot form in our atmosphere."
Finders, keepers is the motto for the hobby. Parks and beaches are the best places to explore, but be sure to check with city officials on the rules and regulations before you head out. For more information on the Yooper Coinshooters Club, visit their website.

Idea for a shotgun weapon.
It's like having 2 Sawn-off double barreled shotties in one hand.
Done with PMG
It's like having 2 Sawn-off double barreled shotties in one hand.
Done with PMG
Nice idea!
reminds me of hek from warframe except that this makes sense
i like the idea, but the shells would have to be 20 gauge if it were to have any real world functionality, anything around 12 gauge would break every bone if your wrist and even if i could keep it from doing that the recoil would be enough to jerk the gun in almost any direction, sorry if i got too technical, i like guns...
Damn girl you badass
I would not want to go up against that lol
This will be an AWESOME shotgun to own
I've honestly never thought of that before.. just two under over's side by side... Lol. When I get the money I may have a project! Lol.
nice but what does the front look like
Very cool concept, very realistic idea...and great artwork!
Crazy idea, but it rocks!
That much kick...might need a handle between the barrels, especially if you're nuts and fire all four at once.
Really cool design
Really cool design
i'd call this "Salsa" because whatever get hits with all 4 barrels is gonna look like chunky salsa
A shot gun pepperbox. Cool!
Nice, love the idea.
Quite the cool concept you've got there.
Great concept, I like the prospect of portability and 4 shots of devastation.
i believe the quad barrel shotgun does exist, but somehow this seems more practical in my opinion
Four barrels of lead-hearted death. Wunderbar.

To answer your question: No. But I have a funny story about him.
Im at Love nightclub in DC, and AI is there. Im 'parkin lot pimpin' so im in the front and have a view of everybody comin in. AI pulls up, has his Lambo vale-parked, dapps up the owners, etc. I see a guy i assume is AI's lil cousin, dressed exactly like him, whte tee n all, a few ft from AI and I assume he's there as a double, like presidents do, to throw people off. He's a few ft from AI but they're not interacting...AI goes straight in with his white tee of course. They stop the doppelganger at the door and make him get a collar shirt and he gets in a half hour later.
I didnt find out till a year later that it was 'Bobby Mays'... judging from that night he either vaguely knows AI or just timed shyt perfectly and figured he could pass for a cousin.

All We Need Is Love
Scholarship Entrant: Tatianna from Roscoe, IL
Essay Question: If you could earn a living doing what you love most, what would it be, and how would it change the world? Describe the specific goals you would set to make that dream a reality.
Vote for Tatianna: 0
One of my favorite things to do is get to know how people spend their time. Outside of work, how we spend our time defines our values, interests, and personalities. If I could earn a living getting to know people by spending time doing their favorite activities, I am sure that the world would be a more open and loving place. People would understand why other people do what they do, and therefore they would be more accepting of people that are slightly different than they are. In order to make this picture perfect world, I would first need to keep myself in check when meeting new people. It would be crucial that I and the people around me not judge anyone else for enjoying different activities than we do.

Friggin' genius… Log in to Reply sledhead November 13, 2011 that guy is probably a fox employee giving him instructions Log in to Reply Torres03 November 13, 2011 Henderson VS Guida on here??

Log in to Reply MMAMike November 13, 2011 Nice feint with the right and booya with the left uppercut, boxing 101! Classy move not blasting him with the 3rd shot. Log in to Reply steamer November 13, 2011 @kidfrosty I caught that right away. Most guys would have just thrown until the ref pulled them off. He totally pulled that last on. Good guy. RESPECT Log in to Reply PitfighterZ November 13, 2011 Kind of a mismatch, which means DJ is actually improving his striking. Very composed, picking his shots, and controlling the distance. One opening and the fight is over. Log in to Reply DilleyWilley November 13, 2011 Very happy that Demarques won this fight. Fighting out of my hometown I'll always root for him. Log in to Reply drunkentigah November 13, 2011 I think that guy in the suit was the athletic commissioner? I always see that guy talking to the fighters after. Whatever he does.. It looks like a cool job. Log in to Reply Pitbull November 14, 2011 Nice finish, Johnson is awesome down to earth kind of person. The reason why he didnt keep attacking was because he knew for a fact that Clay was out of it..Bruno I been following MMA since UFC 1. I first found out about this site back in high school I believe the year was 2006 or 2007? 2 buddies of mines who have also been following MMA before it went mainstream everywhere else told me about MMATKO.com! Its ironic how I been visiting this site since my HS days and only this year I began posting comments on your awesome posts! Thanks B.. YOU'RE THE ****ING MAN! No homo.

Splish Splash Song Lyrics
Splish splish, I was takin' a batj
Long about a Saturday night
A rub-a-dub, just relaxin' in the tub
Thinkin' everything was alright
Well, I stepped out the tub, put my feet on the floor
I wrapped the towel around me and I
Opened the door, and then I
Splish, splash... I jumped back in the bath.
Well how was I to know there was a party going on?
They was a-splishin' and a'splashin'
Reelin' with the feelin', movin' and a'groovin'
Rockin' and a'rollin', yeah
Bing bang, I saw the whole gang
Dancin' on my living room rug, yeah!
Flip flop, they was donin' the bop
All the teens had the dancin'
But there was lollipop with a Peggy Sue
Good Golly, Miss Mally was-a even there, too!
A- well-a, splish splash, I forgot about the bath
I went and put my dancin' shoes on, yay...
I was a rollin' and a strollin', reelin' with the feelin',
Moving and a groovin', splishin' and a splashin', yeah!
Yes, I was a-splishin'' and a splashin'...
I was a-rollin' and a-strollin'...
Yeah, I was a-movin' and a-groovin'
We was a-reelin' with the feelin'
We was a-rollin' and a-strollin'
Movin' with the groovin' splish splash, yeah!

Publisher's Description
Was the birth of the Republic an accident of history or part of a divine plan?
Is God on America's side?
Is it possible a providential hand intervened at critical junctures during the American Revolution?
Larkin Spivey, a decorated Marine Corps officer and respected military professor, believes so.
This provocative account of the American Revolution offers historical evidence that the hand of God was at work during the pivotal era of America's founding. Author Larkin Spivey, a respected military historian, shows how a series of remarkable and miraculous occurrences laid the foundations for the Republic. With compelling facts and interpretations, this portrait of early America is both amazing and uplifting.
Whether you agree with his conclusions about how God's providence ties in with American history, Larkin hopes that you will continue reading to learn about the "magnificently complex men and events that contributed to the founding of America, and why I might consider them miraculous.

Despiral Biosphere by ValaSedaiWatch
©2012-2016 ValaSedai
Part One of a commission for *kossmoe
I enjoyed doing this one very much because I could stay very true to the original sphere concept.
Since it's somewhat impossible to put the whole of Despiral Lake into the bottle I decided for a biosphere filled with creatures that usually inhabit said lake.
Now for those creatures. The red-pinkish one on the left are Liver Leaves, the eye ball bearing ones on the right are called Pleyents and the little bulbs hovering above the surface are the "residue" of a Handslug. (yup I really did my homework for this one xD)
Check out this work for more information:
I hope you enjoy.
Part Two will follow shortly.
Do NOT use!! For use by *kossmoe only!!
lol! organs!
another pretty bottle that i wanna drown in!!! :3
(yes,i do notice that im starting to become a nuisance -_-'
but i cant help it!!soo cuteeeee!!!!!! <3 )

in response to Sammeh! Helpful
Yeah I'm getting about 4 hours on my 2010 13" MacBook Pro since I installed Lion. The battery life is much worse than it was on Snow Leopard.
deepblue1 Jul 21, 2011 1:20 PM
in response to Sammeh!
It is very similar behaviour in my macbook air 2010. The fans don't stop. I checked with my activity monitor and there is an application called AGAadminservice which is using 98% of the CPU all the time!!!
it seems there is an undocumented battery drain feature :-)
deepblue1 Jul 21, 2011 2:04 PM
in response to Sammeh!
I found a thread that helped me solve this battery problem. perhaps you want to have a look:
now my MBA seems quiet and efficient as with Snow Leopard
Sammeh! Jul 21, 2011 2:45 PM
in response to deepblue1
I checked the discussions page and the terminal command isn't working for me it just gives me a message saying command not found. I checked the folder where the file should be located and the com.citrix.agadminservice.plist file isnt there. It seems that my battery drain is being caused by something other than that because I looked at Activity Monitor and there is nothing using that much of my CPU. Guess I'll just keep searching and hope I find something or hope Apple releases an update to fix this.
JoshTN Jul 22, 2011 7:40 AM
in response to Sammeh!
This may not be an option for you, but I called AppleCare and had them help me reinstall Snow Leopard because there were a few bugs that were really a problem. I then restored from my Time Machine backup and now I'm back on Snow Leopard without any issues. I'm going to reinstall Lion probably after 10.7.1 or 10.7.2.
PhangirloftheOpera Jul 22, 2011 12:40 PM
in response to Sammeh!
I just called Apple support and they talked me through resetting the power manager, the battery now seems to be fine. I can give you the steps the gentleman over the phone gave me, it might just help.
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Hold down Ctrl+Option+shift
3. While holding down these button, press and hold the power button as well.
4. Hold all buttons for at least ten seconds.
5. power back on the computer.
For me that worked, i don't know how it will work for everyone else but immediately my power estimation jumped up to around 9:30 and 10 hours. Which is two hours more than i started with.
DarthWolf Jul 24, 2011 4:09 PM
in response to PhangirloftheOpera
ok i maybe stupid but which is the option key?
twtwtw Jul 24, 2011 4:21 PM
in response to DarthWolf
starting from the space bar (in either direction), it's command, option, control
DarthWolf Jul 24, 2011 4:28 PM
in response to twtwtw
ahhhh the "alt" key many thanks
oh and i have now tried the reset and my battery life is better than before lion so thats cool
DarthWolf Jul 24, 2011 4:29 PM
in response to DarthWolf
still lots of other silly problems though
christiancee Jul 24, 2011 6:03 PM
in response to Sammeh!
I've tried reseting it with PhangirloftheOpera's suggestion many times. The fan went quiet at the start but became noisy again after a while. Prior to Lion, after a full charge it can last me for about 5-6 hours but now it's only 1 hour and it fluctuates too. Sometimes it will even say that it's not charging then it says that it's charing again. Is there any help anywhere, especially from Apple's side? Please help, much appreciated!

I am having the same issue. Battery life went from 4-5 hours to 2-3 on my 2010 MacBook Pro 15". The Citrix Daemon is not running on my machine so it must be something else. Any ideas?
atzu Jul 25, 2011 2:09 PM
in response to Sammeh!
Ok guys.
This solved the problem for my MacBook pro from 2011.
HemiDave Jul 25, 2011 5:03 PM
in response to atzu
I wished it worked for me but the machine prompted me by stating there is no Citrix agent running. I am sure there is some other bug in there that they have not found yet. I think I may just go back to SL, too many problems to deal with vs. the machine just working.

Wow this is beautiful ! I especially love the dress
Oh the pattern suits it so wonderfully Have you ever made any of your designs? Or thought about doing it?
Nope, just like to draw
