The Circle of Caregiver, Receiver, and Gift (Jun/GGF)
San Francisco Zen Center (SFZC)
Sunday, June 3, 2012 at 9:00 AM (PDT)
Event Details
The Circle of Caregiver, Receiver, and Gift
9 am - 4 pm
In the Green Gulch Farm Wheelwright Center
6 CEUs available*
Join us for a day focused on realizing the truth of our interconnectedness and the way it supports our innate ability to care for ourselves and others with compassion and wisdom.
Morning Session
with Dr. Grace Dammann and Fu Schroeder
Two extraordinary women - both fiercely dedicated to living meaningful lives on the path of Zen in the roles of caregiver and care receiver - will provide an intimate look into the many layers of physical, psychological and spiritual healing that they have practiced while caring for one another over the past four years.
Afternoon Session
with Jennifer Block and Linda Ruth Cutts
Through meditation, Zen teachings, and guided exercises we will consider how to balance the gift of giving and/or receiving with the suffering that can come with these. We will also reflect upon how the profound spiritual gifts of giving and receiving can enliven us and bring us into deeper connection with our Buddha nature.
This training serves as an introduction to the principles and methods of SF Zen Center's year-long Contemplative Caregiver course that begins in October 2012.

Her life was shattered in May 2008 by a catastrophic head-on collision on the Golden Gate Bridge. After 48 days in a coma and multiple surgeries for broken bones and injured organs, doctors were amazed when Grace miraculously awoke with her cognitive abilities intact. Yet once the thrill and euphoria of survival had passed, the hard, painful work of rehabilitation and caregiving began for Grace, her partner Fu Schroeder, and an extraordinary community of friends and colleagues.

Conversation with Coach Tim Monty
IW: As a coach and a father, were you pretty excited to send another son to Wisconsin?
Monty: Oh, you bet. There's a special place in our heart for Wisconsin, especially after Pete had such a great experience there. We're hoping that Joe will be able to do that as well. That doesn't mean that he has to be the same kind of player Pete was, but if he goes and contributes, and works as hard as he can, we know that he's going to have a great experience.
IW: Joe mentioned that he was a little surprised when Wisconsin initially offered him a scholarship. Did it surprise you?
Monty: Well I know that Joe is a little different kind of athlete than Pete. We struggled his junior year. Actually we didn't struggle, we had a great year. Had we had him, we think we may have been able to compete favorably in the playoffs and maybe really do something. But he broke his leg his junior year and we lost him. His senior year, his senior class had maybe five or six really good athletes. We just didn't have the other ingredients. It's difficult to showcase some of the skills that those other kids had. I think Joe plays a real physical brand of ball. He's a fierce hitter, and he's going to be well-suited to play a five-technique defensive end which is what they project him to play. He's played for us offensive center, defensive tackle, offensive guard, fullback, defensive end, linebacker and tight end. So he was kind of our solution to some of the problems we had when we were missing the kind of athlete we needed to fill a particular spot in our offense or defense. So he's pretty versatile that way.
IW: Obviously Joe has been fortunate to have you as a coach his whole life and his older brother making it all the way to the NFL. But does that create too many expectations, for him to live up to that name?
Monty: Well one of the things that we had some concern about early on was the fact that, having to follow his brother at Wisconsin, where I think my son Pete has a certain amount of notoriety in Wisconsin, and the expectations would be that Joe is going to be a similar kind of player. So that was a concern. That was something that we addressed. We addressed it with the Wisconsin coaches, and they assured us that they weren't recruiting Joe to be another Pete. They were recruiting Joe to be Joe, and that's something that was real important to us. Everybody even I sometimes say, `Boy, it's a challenge to follow in your brother's footsteps' and he says right back to me, `I'm making my own footsteps. I'm going to do my own thing.' So I think he has a sense of self, and he's going to go and be as good a student as he can be and work to be the best athlete he can be and do everything he can to contribute to the success of the Wisconsin team. I think that's all anyone can expect of him.
IW: What are some of the differences in Joe and Pete's athleticism or style of play?
Monty: Joe is a bigger body. He's maybe a half-inch taller than Pete, and at this same time of his development, he's about 20-25 pounds heavier than Pete. His strength is comparable at this point in his career. He might be a little stronger than Pete was because he has a little more body mass. I think Pete was a little quicker starting. They both run well. Joe maybe is not as quick at the get go as Pete was. But I think schools out here, Wyoming and CSU, were recruiting Joe to be an offensive player because he's got really good hands. He can catch the ball and that's something Pete didn't do as well. But he's a physical player. They're similar from that standpoint. He's going to play a physical brand of game. He plays with a love and enthusiasm for the game, and I know my son Pete always appreciated having an opportunity to play alongside Tarek Saleh because they fed off each other. I think Joe's going to feed off of those kinds of athletes, who play with a lot of enthusiasm and love to play, and get excited about what's going on out on the field. Those are common traits.
IW: Is the greyshirt status a good thing for Joe's development?
Monty: I guess that's something that's new, and I was uncertain at first. But Coach Horton and Coach Palermo both came in and did a nice job of explaining what kind of an opportunity it presents. The fact that not participating and only being a part-time student this first fall gives him an opportunity to have that last fall where he's going to be more physically mature and have much greater experience. I finally looked at it from the point that, it gives him a chance to go through spring ball a year from now, and make up for having missed that junior season. He's going to be coached by those coaches at Wisconsin that are going to help him develop his technique and understanding of the game. It will help him be a better performer in the long run. It gives him a chance to catch up, maybe. And academically, it's just an unbelievable opportunity. We pay for a semester where he'll be a part-time student, then that semester that he'll get next winter puts him a semester ahead. So the academic advantages are really incredible.
IW: Millions of fathers dream of sending their son to play Division I football, and you've done it twice. What's the secret to your success?
Monty: I believe it's my wife. I think that coaches' sons, and daughters for that matter, are almost obliged to be gym rats because they're always around athletics. They grow up around it. I've been coaching for 33-34 years and Joe, in his 17 going on 18 years has been on the sidelines, at the practice fields, working out in the summer time when he was a little guy with the older athletes. And always, the great advantage of being a coach's son is you always have an opportunity to model yourself after the very best athletes in a father's program if he's the coach. Joe and Pete both had a chance to see other great high school players that played for us. They saw their work ethic in the weight room, they saw the things they did in the summertime to prepare for a season. So they understand what has to be done to be successful.

WCA Waste Corporation Stock Upgraded (WCAA)
TheStreet) -- WCA Waste Corporation (Nasdaq: WCAA) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from sell to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, good cash flow from operations and solid stock price performance. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity and poor profit margins. Highlights from the ratings report include:NEW YORK (
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 1.9%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 25.5%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, WCAA's share price has jumped by 35.41%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Regarding the stock's future course, our hold rating indicates that we do not recommend additional investment in this stock despite its gains in the past year.
- WCA WASTE CORP's earnings per share declined by 50.0% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, WCA WASTE CORP continued to lose money by earning -$0.14 versus -$0.20 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings (-$0.04 versus -$0.14).
- The gross profit margin for WCA WASTE CORP is currently lower than what is desirable, coming in at 28.10%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 0.70% trails that of the industry average.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Commercial Services & Supplies industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 33.1% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $0.78 million to $0.52 million.

Adm. James T. Kirk has defeated his archenemy but at great cost. His friend Spock has apparently been killed, the USS Enterprise is being scrapped, and starship physician Dr. Leonard ''Bones'' McCoy has taken ill. McCoy's odd behavior is evidence he's harboring Spock's katra, or animating spirit, and Kirk seeks to take the Enterprise back to the Genesis Planet and find his friend. Rebuffed, Kirk takes dramatic action that results in war with deadly Klingons.

Hi everyone! I'm new to the group and was curious about how you act in church. I was "raised" (not stricktly, we didn't go to church or pray. but occasionaly read from a childrens bible and knew of god) Catholic and My Dad is mormon (again, not practicing. He doesn't think of himself as mormon anymore). Most of my family is Catholic, and a few are Christian.
I've never thought of myself as religious, and as I got older, I never prayed. Neither of my kids are baptized, When my family or bf's family ask we just say we don't feel the need to do it. Within the last year, I've started questioning religion, and realized I'm an athiest. I feel like I found myself, Like my questions have been answered.
I mostly keep it to myself, All I've done is changed my religious views on facebook. My parents both know and are fine with it. My Dad and I have in depth talks about religion, we mostly agree. My aunt and uncle are Pastors and are very intolerant people. We've gotten into a few debates about politics, and I'm pretty sure they know how I feel about those issues, but I haven't touched on religion and I don't plan to.
So on to my question! Bf's 2 grandfathers have been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. It's a waiting game now. I know I'll have to go to a church soon for the funerals. When you walk in to church, Do you still use the holy water to bless yourself? or do you just walk by? And when they pray, do you also pray to be polite?

I've realized that not everyone jumping into SWTOR's new expansion will know what to do when getting started. I don't think I have to go over the basics like how to hop into your first match, but there are some things a person of average intelligence should know before tackling his first dog-fight. He should also set some goals for his first upgrades. I intend to help you out with that.
I've realized that not everyone jumping into SWTOR's new expansion will know what to do when getting started. I don't think I have to go over the basics like how to hop into your first match, but there are some things a person of average intelligence should know before tackling his first dog-fight. He should also set some goals for his first upgrades. I intend to help you out with that.
At the launch of Galactic Starfighter, we will have access to three different types of ships, with a fourth ship type coming to us early next year. The Scout is your quintessential point ship. It can move from place to place extraordinarily fast but doesn't carry a whole lot in armory. The Strike Fighter is the backbone of a good squadron. This ship carries a decent amount of armory and can move rather quickly. The Strike Fighter is the jack-of-all trades. The Gunship is just that: a ship of guns. The Gunship is the sniper of the air. With the longest range of any of the other ships, the Gunship charges its weapons to kill targets at 15,000 meters.
I know some people who took to the Scout ship right away. It's a fast ship. It can jump in and out of fire-fights taking very little damage. But I didn't find it very effective. I found myself running away more in my Scout than actually sticking around to fight. I believe the Scout is wonderful for support. If you need a ship to jump in to cause a bit initial damage or maybe a ship to play clean-up, then a Scout can work. It's possible that I am still not completely used to maneuvering in this game, but I personally didn't see anything that the Scout can do that the Strike Fighter can't do more effectively.
I knew the Strike Fighter was for me as soon as I hopped into the cockpit. The biggest benefit to flying a Strike Fighter is the locking missiles. The very first Strike Fighter unlock comes equipped with two different gun batteries and one type of missile bay. Although the Strike Fighter isn't as maneuverable as the Scout, it can still duck and weave quite effectively. If this is the first time you're taking to a dog-fighting simulator, then pick up the Strike Fighter. Even in under-experienced hands, this ship will play its part in the skirmish well.
Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to test out the Gunship, but I've experienced playing against it, and I've watched plenty of people play it. The best way to describe the gameplay of the Gunship is by calling it a sniper. The ship has the standard gunnery array; there's also a giant railgun sitting just above the cockpit. This gun has a 15,000 meter range and can dispatch an enemy in just a couple of shots. Thankfully for the would-be victim, these railguns take several seconds to warm up, and the ship itself has to be stationary to fire, making it vulnerable to attacking crafts.
Reading a guide like the one on Dulfy can be a bit overwhelming, but as you advance, a guide like that will be extraordinarily helpful. But you're just starting in this shindig. What are you looking for, and what should you upgrade first? Hopefully, I can help you out a little bit. First know that some of it will depend on your particular playstyle.
If you're starting out with a Strike Fighter, which is my recommendation, then you will like want to concentrate on missiles first. The missile array sets this class apart from the other ships, so it makes sense to upgrade that first. When you first launch into battle, you have only one type of missile: concussion. But as you gain requisition comms, you can purchase upgrades to concussion missiles or purchase different types of missiles. With cluster missiles, you sacrifice damage for lock-on speed; proton torpedos take four seconds to lock on but have 100% shield penetration. Personally, I'd recommend waiting to purchase proton torpedos with your first upgrade because shield penetration is a huge boon in a fight, but that also requires that you out-maneuver your foe quite a bit so that you can get the missile lock.
My next recommendation for upgrades is thruster or magazine, depending on which you feel would be most beneficial for you. If you find yourself running out of missiles a lot, then you'll want to upgrade the magazine. If you find that you're having a hard time locking on to targets because they outmaneuver you, then perhaps upgrading to turning thrusters is what you need. Even if you feel you aren't having issues in either of those areas, I'd still recommend you upgrade those areas first, then work on bettering the components you have. If the match-making system works the way I believe it does, then expanding your components evenly will likely be the best way to do it.
I will cover other items like the crew next week, but I want to stress that if this is your first time playing a game like this, you should play defensively. Choose a crew member like Writch Hurley, who will give you an extra defensive cooldown when he's the co-pilot.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Lincoln MKS
By KBB.com Editors
While the 2011 Lincoln MKS is loosely based on the excellent Volvo-derived architecture that underpins the new Ford Taurus, it bears little resemblance to its lesser cousin. The successful delivery of Lincoln's flagship MKS (S for sedan), and its well-received twin-turbo EcoBoost engine should put an end to the rumors and grumblings of Lincoln's demise, as well as put competitors such as Cadillac and Lexus on notice. About the only thing we question is Lincoln's move from names with heritage to MK-this and MK-that, but at least (unlike some) that key third letter helps identify the model.
If you like this new Lincoln's look, especially its heritage-based "double-wing" grille, there's not much to dislike about it. With an agreeable balance of performance, efficiency, room and value, and front- or available all-wheel-drive, it lacks only most rivals' rear-wheel drive and a prestigious import nameplate.
While Lincoln's flagship sedan punches most of the right buttons, competition at this level is tough. Most competitors offer rear-wheel drive, available higher performance and better-respected brand names. If you're willing to pay more for it, a German or Japanese or a domestic Cadillac luxury sedan may suit you better.
For 2011, HD Radio is added to the Lincoln MKS' available voice-activated navigation system.
Driving Impressions The MKS follows through on its good first impression. Power from its 3.7-liter V6 is strong, smooth and responsive, and its cabin is unusually quiet and serene at any reasonable...speed. The MacPherson-strut and lower-control-arm front suspension maximizes travel, while the fully independent rear arrangement isolates noise and harshness without isolating the driver from feeling the road. One unique element is rear shock absorbers mounted vertically at the outboard ends of the suspension arms, near the wheels, to accommodate the available 20-inch wheels while allowing precise suspension tuning. The power rack-and-pinion steering is precise and responsive, the brakes are powerful and secure, and the car feels surprisingly agile for its size.
Voice-Activated Navigation with SIRIUS Travel Link
This state-of-the-art system integrates climate control and SIRIUS Satellite Radio into a large, easy-to-use touch-screen display. It also provides up-to-the-minute traffic and weather information, current gas prices, sports scores and movie listings, and it can store, catalog and play more than 150 hours of music.
Jointly developed by Ford and Microsoft and standard on the MKS, this industry exclusive, voice-activated hands-free communications and entertainment system fully integrates most Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones and digital media players into the vehicle.
The 2011 Lincoln MKS cabin marries best-in-class interior and cargo volume to a precision-crafted environment of hand-wrapped, double-stitched premium leather, genuine wood and sculpted aluminum accents. The symmetrical instrument panel, an updated version of the design found in the Lincoln Navigator, MKZ and MKX, is bisected by a strip of sculpted wood, and its upper surface is durable leatherette. The standard leather seats have supportive side bolsters, the leather-wrapped steering wheel is topped by a strip of real wood, the round gauges are ringed in delicate chrome, and a large, integrated information/navigation screen tops the center stack.Exterior
The MKS was the first new production Lincoln with design elements harvested from signature Lincoln cues of the past, styling that is now standard across the brand's lineup. Its most striking exterior feature is a double-wing grille inspired by that of the 1941 Lincoln Continental. A sculpted hood, a fast-raked windshield and a beltline that kicks up slightly over the rear wheels are highlighted by polished stainless steel side window surrounds. Around back, vertical white light strips separate LED tail lamps from the decklid edges, and a horizontal chrome strip along the rear deck is inset with a Lincoln star.
This well-equipped Lincoln packs all expected bells and whistles and some Ford exclusives, including a next-generation "SecuriCode" keypad that unlocks the driver's door, a capless fuel filler system and the SYNC hands-free entertainment and communications system. Also standard are premium AM/FM/six-CD changer 6-speaker audio with SIRIUS Satellite Radio; premium leather seating; leather-wrapped shifter; 12-way power, heated and cooled driver and front passenger seats with power lumbar; heated rear seats with pass-through; power tilt/telescope steering wheel with memory; dual-zone automatic climate control and reverse sensing. Also standard are adaptive headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, forward sensing system, rear-window power sunshade and "Intelligent Access" key fob with push-button start. Standard safety features include AdvanceTrac stability control; anti-lock brakes with Brake Assist; Dual-stage front, front side and roof Canopy System airbags.
Most notable among the MKS' many available features are all-wheel drive; 19-inch bright machined or 20-inch polished aluminum wheels; THXII Certified 14-speaker premium surround sound; voice-activated navigation; rear-view camera; adaptive cruise control; dual-panel power moonroof, Active Park Assist and "PowerCode" remote starting. Most of these features are bundled into two Rapid Spec option packages, one with the Navigation Package (navigation, surround sound and rear-view camera) and one that combines the Navigation package with the dual panel moonroof, 19-inch wheels and color-keyed suede seat trim. Also available is the EcoBoost Appearance package that adds unique leather seating and appliques, body colored grille, fog lamp openings and rocker panels and 20-inch chrome wheels.
The 2011 MKS offers a choice of two V6 powerplants. The first is a normally aspirated 3.7-liter V6 that develops 273 horses and 270 pound-feet of torque. Based on Ford's award-winning 3.5-liter V6, it shares the same die-cast aluminum block, lightweight four-valve heads and variable valve timing. To save fuel, its fuel pump shifts to a lower-speed setting when conditions allow and cuts off fuel to the injectors when the driver backs completely out of the throttle in fifth or sixth gear. The second option is a 3.5-liter V6 with two turbochargers bolted on for a big jump in horsepower and torque, but very little sacrifice in fuel economy. Both engines are teamed to the standard SelectShift six-speed automatic that can be manually shifted when desired. The available all-wheel-drive, which can distribute up to 100 percent of torque between the front and rear wheels, is offered only with the normally aspirated V6.
3.7-liter V6
273 horsepower @ 6250 rpm
270 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4250 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 17/24 (FWD), 16/23 (AWD)

"I was in a rear-end accident where my 2009 Lincoln MKS was totaled. I walked away from the vehicle completely unharmed to the shocked stares of on-lookers. Kudos on the design and engineering - they turned out to be life savers. This car starts EVERY time in ANY weather. Great acceleration! Scary, slow-response braking system for such a heavy car. Seat coolers would be great in the back seat. Putting some passenger controls for sound, seat position, and climate in the back seat compartment would make this a truly wonderful car. Of course, after shopping around extensively, I bought the 2011 MKS since there were no comparable cars possessing all the great features that Lincoln offers! I LOVE LINCOLN."

Raspberry Turkey Tenderloins Recipe
3 1
Fast to prepare, even quicker to grill, this dish is always a winner at my house. We both love the raspberry-Dijon sauce. You can substitute chicken breasts for the turkey if you wish. —JoAnn Handley, Mount Dora, Florida
- 1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
- 1/3 cup cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
- 4 turkey breast tenderloins (6 ounces each)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- In a small saucepan, combine the first five ingredients. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Set aside 1/4 cup for serving.
- Sprinkle turkey with salt. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Grill turkey, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 13-18 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170°, turning occasionally. Baste with remaining sauce during last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with reserved sauce. Yield: 6 servings.

Write Yourself In
to the School of Your Choice!
Dozens of seniors each summer and fall write their college essays at Writopia. Almost all of our college essay students win admittance to their top choice schools. We are thrilled to report that In recent years, our college essay students have won admittance to: Harvard, Yale, Brown, Princeton, Stanford, Williams, University of Chicago, Hampshire, UT Austin, University of Virginia, Suny Binghamton, and many more.
What We Do:
We help juniors and seniors identify unique and meaningful personal stories, and we give them the space and guidance to tell those stories in their own authentic voices. We will not write essays for students. Instead, we help students find their voices, give them the confidence to use them, and ultimately provide guidance on structure and editing. Each and every word is the student's own. At Writopia Lab, we witness the power of authentic young voices every day. Your child will not only leave the program with one to three college essays, but with a new confidence in his or her own writing.
Private Sessions
Sessions can be scheduled during the day, after school, and over the weekend. All private sessions are led by our published writers, produced playwrights, or experienced tutors. If you live too far from any of our Labs to come to us, Writopia teachers can work online via Skype or any other video conferencing tool.

Best Place to Buy Cheese Curds (2010)
Milk 'n' More Store
Tempe may be worlds away from cow country, but farm-fresh cheese is closer than you'd expect. Milk from around the state is trucked to the United Dairymen of Arizona processing plant daily to be pasteurized and packaged, and the leftovers are turned into tasty cheese that's sold on site in the Milk 'n' More Store. The store's crowning glory is its cheese curds, the traditional Midwest snack that squeaks in your mouth like a chew toy. How's it made? Milk from the plant is dumped into 7,000-gallon vats and mixed with rennet. The solidifying cheese is then gathered out of the mixture with a rake and cut into bite-size pieces. Milk 'n' More's curds are made daily in plain and jalapeño varieties. If they get stale a few days after opening, just pop 'em briefly in the microwave and you'll have a soft, cheesy treat that doesn't need to be fried to taste good.

Never put off to tomorrow… what you can do today. This is my personal philosophy. Nobody escapes mortality. If you want something bad enough… go after it.
Tomorrow, I have the wonderful opportunity to speak to fresh film school grads, and this has caused me to reflect a great deal. What possible advice can I give… when things are changing so rapidly? The old barriers are gone, and yet, new ones surface.
How do you keep going? How do you stick to your guns, your passion… when the logical thing to do… would be to give up?
Yes, this post goes a little dark. And a little self-indulgent. Forgive me, but this is my blog after all. ;)
We recently wrapped shooting a short film that I wrote, co-directed, and co-produced. It was very much a labour of love. And while I'm fond of telling people that the reason I made this film… was because I was just fed up with the industry and wanted to just DO SOMETHING. That would be slightly disingenuous.
Yes, last summer I was fed up. I really didn't feel like waiting around for what… 5… 10 years to have a piece of my writing produced? I really did just want to do it. Just make something. Film something.
If this was going to be the last thing I was going to do in this industry, I really wanted to come away with a piece of work that I could be proud of.
But this wasn't the complete reason.
Truthfully, I'm a big believer in the notion that life is too short.
What are you waiting for?
Nobody's going to hand it to you. You're going to have to seize it.
Last year, I had a bit of a health scare. Relax, it's not as bad as you think! And on a scale of 1 to worst things you can have, it's really not bad. It was more the not knowing part. And if you're wondering why you haven't heard this before, that's because I virtually told nobody outside of my family.
I'm telling this as a lesson to you all. Be mindful of what your body is telling you. Don't ignore it. Like I did.
I had been having symptoms since the spring, but chalked it up to stress. Hey, not knowing where your life is going? Combined with the fact that I was doing the CTV Diverse Screenwriters Program at the time. Yeah, a wee bit stressed.
Finally, I bit the bullet and went to the doctor in late summer. It took a couple of weeks to find out why the tests were abnormal… and as I said… nothing to worry about. I actually feel fine, and compared to several of my friends who battle with their own conditions– ones that really affect their quality of life– I'm really not complaining.
Long story short… life is short. My frustration combined with this mortal fear were really the major factors… the catalyst… if you will… for pushing forward, pushing to do this film, and refusing to give up.
So last fall, I dived in. I completely dedicated myself to working on this film, while trying to balance looking for work and continuing to write. Though, I have to admit. The best form of procrastination from writing? Making a film… hahaha.
And I'm very proud of my team for all they accomplished over the Easter weekend. We made a film that we can all be proud of, and while I would love to think that I would've pushed to do it ordinarily… I know that mortality played a big part in slapping me in the face. Hard.
Especially now, as I see my parents growing older, and witnessing the struggles of close friends and peers, nothing has solidified things more for me.
This is worth doing. The arts are a noble pursuit. And I would be happy to spend the rest of my life doing this.
It's not an easy path. And for all those new film school grads, I'm sure some will luck out right out of the gate, while others will drift about… lost… as I often felt… and still do feel.
But what I'll tell them tomorrow… is that it's worth it.
Why spend your life doing anything less… than what you know you were meant to be doing?
Now, four after graduating, I do feel more settled. More at peace.
I pushed myself to the limits of what I thought I could do. And it was hard. Very hard. But at the end of the day, I think I reached a state of… catharsis. Yes, let's call it that.
I set a goal for myself. And with the help and support of so many glorious friends, supporters, and family, we did it. We made a film.
And so can you.
Blood. Sweat. And tears.
The only way it's done!
Soldier on, my friends.

CLOSTER, N.J., Feb. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Ericom Software, a global leader in application access and desktop virtualization solutions, today announced the release of AccessToGo for Chrome, the fastest RDP client for the Google Chrome platform. Available for free from the Google Chrome Web Store, AccessToGo provides fast and simple access to Windows desktops and applications on any RDP host, including Microsoft Remote Desktop (RDS) Session Hosts (Terminal Services) and virtual desktops. AccessToGo runs directly within the Chrome browser, and supports Chromebooks and Chromeboxes, as well as Windows, Mac OS X and Linux devices running Chrome.
Ericom AccessToGo for Chrome is built on Google Native Client (NaCl) technology.

AccessToGo can connect, out-of-the-box, to any supported RDP host, without requiring installation of any other software.
Furthermore, over low bandwidth remote connections, involving graphics rich content and applications, AccessToGo performance can be accelerated using Ericom Blaze RDP Acceleration. This delivers unparalleled acceleration of Chrome screen displays with complex graphics such as maps, photos, radiology images, 3D images, movies, Adobe Flash and PDF files. In Blaze mode, Ericom AccessToGo is up to 10x faster than regular RDP. To take advantage of Ericom Blaze technology, one needs to install the Ericom Blaze Server component on the target machine.
Eran Heyman, Ericom Software's CEO stated: "We are thrilled to announce AccessToGo as the fastest free RDP Chrome Web App to the Google Chrome user community. In launching Ericom AccessToGo for Chrome, Ericom is expanding our RDP client portfolio with a secure, NaCl-based app that leverages the strength and flexibility of the Chrome platform, and also providing the option to leverage Ericom Blaze high performance RDP acceleration technology. Now Chromebook users and others using the Chrome platform can instantly work and interact with remote Windows desktops – quickly, easily and at no extra cost."
Ericom AccessToGo for Chrome:
- Supports Google Chrome OS and Chrome browser (version 23 and up)
- Supports RDP servers of any flavor, including Windows Server 2003 / 2008 / 2008 R2 / 2012 Terminal Services (physical or virtual); also supports Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 as remote desktops (physical or virtual)
- Provides the fastest RDP client for Chromebooks
- The user simply enters the address of the RDP host and connects; no setup is required
- Comprehensive client platform support: Any of the following devices that are running Chrome 23 and higher are supported: Chrome OS (Chromebook and Chromebox), Windows XP / 7 / 8, both x86 (32-bit) and x64 (64-bit); Mac OS X (Intel); Linux (Ubuntu, Red Hat, Novell SUSE, etc.)
Ericom free RDP clients are also available for Mac OS X, Linux, Apple iOS, Android and BlackBerry.

For manufacturers, the Internet of Things (IoT) represents a jumping-off point for innovation, jobs, and revenue creation.
