Phew, got there in the end!
It's been a hell of a journey, but I'm glad I made it to the end (in one way or another).
I'm going to go lie down now, drink a lot of beer and relax. The Servants of the Imperium website will remain up for the forseeable future (it's paid up until next January anyway) and I might post some occasional stuff to the blog every now and then.
Thanks for sticking with me for the last 5 years.

What a couple of weeks.
On top of all the usual work craziness, I've been teaching online marketing boot camp (for an economic development nonprofit), and remembering that you can't subtract two full days (and nights) from a full work schedule without cutting into your spare time.
Your spare fly fishing time.
That might suggest I'm a slow learner, but the sad truth is… OK, I'm a slow learner. I cop to it.
Soon after I moved up here from the Silicon Valley, I ran into the same problem; a friend remarked that I'd traded workaholism down there for workaholism up here, and the only real difference was that the view outside the window was better.
Still, that leaves us here – one of us reading this post, and the other trying to write it (coherently, and yes, very slowly). So what time does that make this?
Friday Housecleaning. Get ready for a series of short, overdue posts. You'll love it. Really.
Meanwhile, I'm firing up some actual fly fishing related plans for the weekend. Plans which could involve a shot at some smaller stream trout.
Still, the cooler weather has dropped the Upper Sac's flows to the 1000 cfs neighborhood, which pretty much anyone can fish (even overtired marketing teachers).
Tune in, and you'll get to see the Underground engaged in actual fly fishing related activities, though it's going to happen pretty fast; I start teaching another online marketing boot camp in 1.5 weeks.
See you on the crazy train, Tom Chandler.

Athens, Ga. - Stanford women's gymnastics has long stressed the importance of returning to the "Super Six" and gaining the nation's respect for what kind of a program the Cardinal have become. The Cardinal has reached the goal after scoring a 196.900 and finishing third in the evening session of the NCAA Nationals on Thursday night. Accompanying them from the evening session are Georgia (197.625) and Utah (196.950).
The three teams from the earlier session that qualified for the "Super Six" were all from the SEC with Alabama, LSU and Florida all qualifying for the event. The highest score from that session was 196.900, which was also the score Stanford produced in their third place finish.
The Cardinal was once again by a team effort that led to the team hitting 23 of 24 routines on the evening. Senior Tabitha Yim led the way with an all-around score of 39.500 and junior Nicole Ourada was right behind with an all-around score of 39.400. Stanford began the day on floor and scored a 49.175. They were led by sophomore Carly Janiga who scored a 9.875 as the last floor competitor for the Cardinal. Yim was right behind with a 9.850.
A move to vault was next for Stanford and another balanced effort paced the way to another strong score of 49.200. Four Stanford gymnasts scored a 9.850 and all scored a 9.800 or better. Senior Liz Tricase made her 2008 NCAA Nationals debut and scored one of the 9.850's. Freshman Shelley Alexander also continued her strong freshman season on vault and scored a 9.800.
After a bye, the Cardinal resumed action with their bar routine and came up big in a big way. The team scored a 49.325 on bars, which was their second-highest score of the season in the event, with only a 49.400 at Arizona State being a better mark. Tricase and Yim scored 9.900's to pace the Cardinal and junior Nicole Ourada was right behind with a 9.875. With this big score, it put Stanford in very good position with only two rotations left in the meet.
Stanford finished their competition with a trip to beam and hit all six routines en route to a 49.200. Yim scored another 9.900 and Ourada was again right behind with a score of 9.875. This gave the Cardinal a 196.900 team score and with a bye in the sixth and final rotation the Cardinal only could observe Michigan and Utah, who were in third and fourth position at the time to determine their fate.
Utah put together a big vault routine as they scored 49.400 and edged Stanford by five hundredths, to earn a second place finish. Michigan however didn't do quite as well on beam and finished far away from the qualifiers with a final team score of 196.075. This gave Stanford a berth in the "Super Six" and a vindication of all the hard work that they have put into the season.
The two other Pac-10 schools didn't fare as favorably as the Cardinal in the very pro-SEC environment at the Stegeman Coliseum. Oregon State finished sixth in the afternoon session and UCLA finished fifth in the evening session with a team score of 196.725. While the Bruins defeated the Cardinal in their first two meetings early in the season, Stanford got their revenge in a big way, winning the two final meets with much more at stake. The Cardinal also outlasted UCLA nearly a month ago at the Pac-10 Championships in Seattle, Wash. as they captured the Pac-10 Championships.
This is the first time in Stanford women's gymnastics history that they are making repeat visit's to the "Super Six" and will be the fourth trip overall for the Cardinal. Their other prior appearances were in 2007, 2004 and 2002. The team will look to beat their highest finish in school history, which was 3rd in 2004.
The "Super Six" is scheduled to begin tomorrow at 6:00 p.m EST at Stegeman Coliseum in Athens, Ga.

2008 Research Summary
Ptolemy Project
View Current Project Information
Edward A. Lee, Hugo Andrade, Christine Avanessians, Christopher Brooks, Dai Bui, Elaine Cheong, Thomas Huining Feng, Shanna-Shaye Forbes, Ben Lickly, Isaac Liu, Thomas Mandl, Eleftherios Matsikoudis, Slobodan Matic, Hwa-yong Oh, Hiren Patel, Mary Stewart, Min Van Ly, Yang Zhao, Gang Zhou and Jia Zou
The Ptolemy Project studies modeling, simulation, and design of concurrent, real-time, embedded systems. The focus is on assembly of concurrent components [1-3]. The key underlying principle in the project is the use of well-defined models of computation that govern the interaction between components. A major problem area being addressed is the use of heterogeneous mixtures of models of computation. Current research thrusts include:
- Precision-timed (PRET) machines [4]: This effort reintroduces timing into the core abstractions of computing, beginning with instruction set architectures, using configurable hardware as an experimental platform;
- Real-time software: Models of computation with time and concurrency, metaprogramming techniques, code generation and optimization, domain-specific languages, schedulability analysis, programming of sensor networks;
- Distributed computing [5]: Models of computation based on distributed discrete events, backtracking techniques, lifecycle management, unreliable networks, modeling of sensor networks;
- Understandable concurrency: This effort focuses on models of concurrency in software that are more understandable and analyzable than the prevailing abstractions based on threads;
- Systems of systems: This effort focuses on modeling and design of large scale systems, those that include networking, database, grid computing, and information subsystems;
- Abstract semantics: Domain polymorphism, behavioral type systems, meta-modeling of semantics, comparative models of computation; and
- Hybrid systems: Blended continuous and discrete dynamics, models of time, operational semantics, and language design.
Figure 1: The Ptolemy project is named after Claudius Ptolemaeus, the second century Greek astronomer, mathematician, and geographer.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .
[Note: The tags for the various schools are not definitive as many books span multiple traditions, etc. They are meant to use as a starting point for exploring this collection.]
On the Path to Enlightenment
Heart Advice from the Great Tibetan MastersDilgo Khyentse Rinpoche inspired Matthieu Ricard to create this anthology by telling him that "when we come to appreciate the depth of the view of the eight great traditions [of Tibetan Buddhism] and also see that they all lead to the same goal without contradicting each other, we think, 'Only ignorance can lead us to adopt a sectarian view.'" Ricard has selected and translated some of the most profound… Read More

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - Stephany LaRosa was named Pac-12 Conference Freshman of the Year, while a total of eight Bruins were honored on the All-Pac-12 teams, as announced by the league on Wednesday.
LaRosa is the fifth Bruin to earn the conference's top freshman honor. When it was known as Newcomer of the Year, Tanya Harding (1995), Julie Adams (1996), Stacey Nuveman (1997) and Anjelica Selden (2005) were each named Pac-10 Newcomer of the Year.
LaRosa also earned All-Pac-12 First Team honors and was joined on the team by seniors Andrea Harrison and Katie Schroeder and junior B.B. Bates. The four First Team honors for UCLA tied for the most in the conference with Arizona State. Senior Samantha Camuso was named to the All-Pac-12 Second Team, while senior Dani Yudin and sophomore Jessica Hall earned All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention accolades. LaRosa and Ally Carda both received All-Pac-12 Freshman Team plaudits.
Harrison and Schroeder are the 24th and 25th Bruins to receive all-conference selections four times. Harrison is a three-time First Team honoree (2010-12), while Schroeder is a two-time First Team winner (`09, `12).
Bates earned her initial First Team award after receiving Honorable Mention accolades as a sophomore. Camuso picked up her second Second Team honor (2008), Yudin recorded her second Honorable Mention award (2010) and Hall posted her first All-Pac-12 accolade.
LaRosa leads the Bruins with a .445 batting average, 16 home runs, 60 runs batted in, an .815 slugging, 141 total bases, 77 hits, four sacrifice flies, 24 multiple-hit games and 16 multi-RBI contests, is tied for first with three triples, second with 47 runs scored, third with a .495 on base percentage, tied for third with four hit by pitches and fourth with 10 doubles. She hit .431 (31-for-72) during Pac-12 play with seven homers, 27 RBI and 18 runs.
Harrison is second on the team with 118 total bases, 12 doubles and three sacrifice flies, tied for second with 14 home runs, third with 44 runs scored and 64 hits and fourth with 46 runs batted in and a .667 slugging. She is hitting .362 with 20 walks, a .429 on base percentage, 18 multiple-hit contests and 10 multi-RBI games.
Schroeder leads the Bruins with 59 runs scored, 14 doubles, a .524 on base percentage, 16 stolen bases and 13 hit by pitches, and is second with a .412 batting average, 28 walks and 70 hits. She has five home runs, 30 runs batted in and 20 multiple-hit games, and has reached base in 49 of 54 contests.
Bates is tied for second on the team with 14 home runs and 48 runs batted in, third with 11 doubles, a .703 slugging, 116 total bases, 27 walks and seven stolen bases and fourth with a .370 batting average, 42 runs scored and 61 hits. She has 13 multiple-hit contests and 14 multi-RBI games.

Technology is ubiquitous, and its potential to transform learning is immense. The first edition of Using Technology with Classroom Instruction That Works answered some vital questions about 21st century teaching and learning: What are the best ways to incorporate technology into the curriculum? What kinds of technology will best support particular learning tasks and objectives? How does a teacher ensure that technology use will enhance instruction rather than distract from it? This revised and updated second edition of that best-selling book provides fresh answers to these critical questions, taking into account the enormous technological advances that have occurred since the first edition was published, including the proliferation of social networks, mobile devices, and web-based multimedia tools. It also builds on the up-to-date research and instructional planning framework featured in the new edition of Classroom Instruction That Works, outlining the most appropriate technology applications and resources for all nine categories of effective instructional strategies: * Setting objectives and providing feedback * Reinforcing effort and providing recognition * Cooperative learning * Cues, questions, and advance organizers * Nonlinguistic representation * Summarizing and note taking * Assigning homework and providing practice * Identifying similarities and differences * Generating and testing hypotheses Each strategy-focused chapter features examples¿across grade levels and subject areas, and drawn from real-life lesson plans and projects¿of teachers integrating relevant technology in the classroom in ways that are engaging and inspiring to students. The authors also recommend dozens of word processing applications, spreadsheet generators, educational games, data collection tools, and online resources that can help make lessons more fun, more challenging, and¿most of all¿more effective.

Scotland provides a wealth of opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast throughout the seasons and as a keen hill walker I try to take every opportunity to get out and explore the fine landscape this country has to offer. Taking photographs along the way provides an added interest to my outings and also helps to keep the images I see fresh in the memory. The photographs also provide a good base when updating my walking diary, giving a bit more substance to the words. Posting my rambling's on the web hopefully provides friends and family with internet access a vicarious insight into my travels. But for those without I thought it would be nice to translate this dairy into book form, so with that in mind: Happy reading Mum and Dad.

Now, come on. Which plan had the riskier chances? Realistically, he's not going to send Kyle loose in the galaxy when he could have had him captured. He wouldn't have let him go to the Valley and get his force powers and stay alive, either.
Before you tell me, I know this is just a game and he needed to get his powers somehow. But it could have been done WAY better.
And pure and simple, there was no justification for Jan not showing ANY reaction about Kyle being a jedi, except as someone mentioned, she's a cold-hearted *****.
Okay, back to the reasons I already stated before, which you convienently skipped for no good reason.
Eternity, didn't you hear? Dark Jedi don't BELIEVE in risks. Yeesh. They only believe it getting what they want, everything else is just extra. Hence, he didn't really care what Kyle did, as long as Kyle lead him to the Valley...and as far as Desann cared, it would be a lot more FUN to kill Kyle if he could use the force.
Like I said before about Jan, Galak probably told her what happened, and she drew her own conclusions, obviously. Do you actually think that the characters would be COMPLETELY stupid (no, by your previous posts you don't, but apparently you seem to think Jan would be stupid....hmmmm, hypocrite).
They could have been done a hell of a lot better. They looked like puppet dolls, they moved like puppet dolls, and they portrayed puppet dolls.
Agreed, I liked the FMV.
It looked cheesy. Look at a game like Half-Life's blockades blockades, to show it's not about technology.
Yes, it did look cheesy, and to add to it, it's the only time sabers actually cut through walkways. But, like I said before, they probably would've done a better job if it was supposed to do anything.
Personally, I loved the swamp....could've used some more wildlife though.
I agree that there should've been pedestrians in Shadda, and Bespin, but in all likelyhood, one of your goals would be "Avoid getting any innocents killed"...which would produce a LOT of headaches, and quickloading.
Maybe that's why they didn't include them.

Huffington Post David Moye First Posted: 06/01/12 10:57 AM ET Updated: 06/01/12 02:47 PM ET
For most people, bathroom mold is a cross to bear.
For Chyenna Richards in Houston, it's a sign that God is truly everywhere -- including her shower stall.
"People say your house is blessed," Richards told KRTK-TV. "I see the head, the hair, a cloak."
Where others see the presence of fungi, Richards sees a likeness of Jesus, and is moved by the holy mold.
"Maybe it means something. Maybe look into yourself and see if you need to change something in your life," she said.
The "holy mold" began growing a few months ago when Thomas George, who also lives in the house, was serving time in prison.
He believes there's a message.
"He's just watching over us to make sure nothing wrong happens or I get in trouble and go back," he told WSTP-TV, adding, "It gives me inspiration just to do better."
One sign that the mold is doing its job: One woman who lives in the home here has HIV but, according to KRTK, she's improved since the mold showed up in the shower.
Or has it?
A study conducted last year at Northwestern University suggested that humans are wired to look for familiarity and meaning in the most abstract squiggles.
To arrive at this finding, researchers asked 10 volunteers to look at squiggles while lying under a brain scanner and then rate the meaningfulness of each squiggle.
When the volunteers saw the images for a second time, they had catalogued these squiggles as faces or animals or something else that was meaningful to them and, therefore, had no reason to analyze the shapes again.
That may explain why at least one person who lives near the house with the Jesus mold had a different reaction when he saw it.
Neighbor Michael Bearden said he believes the image is of Jesus but admitted to UPI that it reminded him of someone else as well.
"It kinda looks like me!" he said.
"It's like Jesus staring right at me," says Jim Lawry of Brooklyn Ohio, who posted a YouTube video of bird poop that looks, at least to him, like the face of Jesus.
A lumber yard owner in Tennessee was crying Hal-log-lejuah after he saw this image on the inside of a tree trunk. Click here to read the whole story.

Artist Rob Surette used 24,790 push pins to create this incredible pointillist portrait of Jesus.
Chuck Rickman photographed this window at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego after seeing what he thought might be the image of Jesus. He's not religious so he thinks it could also be Led Zeppelin
A Reddit user posted this photo of a dog's butt that appears to show Jesus Christ's visage; robes, hands, long hair and all.
This woman was "overcome with feelings of joy and serenity" when she noticed the word "God" spelled in her post-chemo curls. Click here to read the whole story.
Edward Garza, an 80-year-old from Texas, found that his usual breakfast taco had a divine garnish: a burn pattern that he thinks looks a lot like Jesus Christ. What do you think? Vote here.

Dec. 29, 2011 - London, England, United Kingdom - A woman was left stunned when she hung out her laundry to dry and discovered the face of Jesus staring back at her from a crumpled sock. Sarah Crane, 38, was amazed when she went to collect her washing and realized she had the most holy pair of socks in Britain. She was so impressed by the clarity of the face they even built a shrine to the sock. (Paul Cunningham, Caters News / ZUMA)

Roisin McCourt says Jesus' face appeared on one of her stained towels. The 31-year-old dance instructor discovered the discolored smudge after giving the towel a wash in her home in Coventry, England. Though Jesus' likeness might be hard to make out, McCourt believes it is a sign from God.

There is still debate whether the image truly represents the Son of Man, or if it actually shows comedian Billy Connolly.
John Keohane, manager of the Seanchai Irish Tavern in Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia, looks at an image of Jesus Christ that has appeared in the painted facade of the pub
Did the folks at Google Earth Street View capture an image of God and Jesus appearing in the clouds over a lake in Quarten, Switzerland -- or is that bird poop on the camera lens? At this point, the answer isn't clear.
Laszlo Csrefko spent a fortune renovating a bathroom at the family home in Bekasmegyer, Budapest, with a new bath, shower and tiles. But after taking her first shower, horrified wife Andrea, 47, fled from the bathroom when she spotted the horned head of the devil in one of the tiles

LII Moves to IPL: Personal Thoughts
Roy Tennant tells us what he thnks of the move.
Roy Tennant tells us what he thnks of the move.
Steve Oberg answers Roy Tennant's questions about his (Steve's) beefs with OCLC.
Now this is just what the library profession needs. Passion. Heart. Beef. Yes!!!
Roy Tennant – "So after ten long years I will no longer be writing a column for Library Journal, but I will be blogging."
Roy Tennant – "If you want to find a treasure under a rock I'd pick up the small ones."
Kidding of course, about the "scandal". 😉
Roy Tennant – "So let's all take a deep breath and calm down. "Library 2.0″ is not going to solve all of our ills, nor is it all that new. But if some want to frame the changes they see that need to be made within a Library 2.0 framework, perhaps those of us who haven't signed on could allow them to do so without getting all freaked out about it."
Roy Tennant – "I've been lucky to be present during a revolutionary change in librarianship."
Roy Tennant: "I still believe our users want to find everything they can on a topic in one place, with one search, rather than going from place to place puzzling out each new interface. Well, now finally that's happening in a couple of interesting ways."

text: Aug 31, 2014 14:28 Sources: Cornerback Rashard Robinson, receiver Malachi Dupre are not making trip with LSU to Houston Sources: Cornerback Rashard Robinson, receiver Malachi Dupre are not making trip with LSU to Houston Advocate staff photo by BILL FEIG -- Texas A&M wide receiver Mike Evans (13) is stopped after the catch by LSU defensive back Rashard Robinson (21) during the second half in LSU's Tiger Stadium. LSU won 34-10. Ross Dellenger and scott rabalais Aug. 29, 2014; 2:03 p.m. Comments Starting cornerback Rashard Robinson and freshman receiver Malachi Dupre did not make the trip to Houston for LSU's game against Wisconsin, sources confirmed with The Advocate on Friday. Dupre suffered an ankle injury in practice this week, and Robinson has been at least temporarily suspended, multiple sources confirmed. The Daily Reveille first reported the news on Robinson. LSU coach Les Miles will not comment on the reports until after Saturday's game, team spokesman Michael Bonnette said. Miles was expected to have an interview availability with the media Friday when the team arrived at NRG Stadium. That was canceled Friday afternoon. Robinson and Dupre were not seen entering LSU's team hotel Friday in Houston. The news on Robinson doesn't come as a real shock. He has been practicing with the second-string for much, if not all, of preseason practice. Junior cornerback Jalen Collins is set to assume Robinson's starting role opposite Tre'Davious White. He's been practicing with the first string during August drills. LSU departed for Houston on a charter jet at 1:30 p.m. The team arrived at NRG Stadium for a walk-through Friday afternoon. The No. 13 Tigers and No. 14 Badgers meet on ESPN at 8:10 p.m. Saturday. Dupre, a highly recruited five-star player out of New Orleans, is expected to return next week from his ankle injury. Dupre has not been practicing with the starting group at receiver. He has sustained multiple injuries through the first month of practice. A member of the preseason All-SEC third team, Robinson came on late last season, starting the final two games of the year. A rangy and physical defensive back, Robinson and White have been lauded nationally this preseason as one of the best DB tandems in college football. His replacement is likely Collins, a fourth-year junior who lost his starting job to White last season. Next in line on the depth chart is true freshman Ed Paris.

Summer Solstice
Friday, June 21, 2013
Summer Solstice
When : June 21, 2013; June 21, 2014
Summer Solstice is sometimes referred to as "Midsummer" Litha". It's the longest day of the year. The amount of daylight only goes down from here....for the next six months (more on that later). Summer Solstice is the meteorological start of summer. It's time to enjoy vacations, great weather, pools, baseballs, and everything else that goes along with the favorite season of kids and most adults. Grab your favorite beverage and enjoy the season, because for many of us it is all too short.
Did you know? The sun does not set at the North Pole today. There is 24 hours of sunlight. Does it make up for that cold day in December when the sun does not rise above the horizon? No, but on this day it sure does feel good wherever you are!
More Information:
Summer Solstice educational, great for school reports
Summer Solstice: A celebration of the Sun from Alaska Science Forum, provides some interesting information and facts about the sun.

When we visited our kids in Alaska last June we had cardboard over the bedroom window so we could sleep. It is hard to go to bed when it never get totally dark. Don't want to visit there in the winter though!

Free consulting newsletter: The Million Dollar Consulting® Mindset:
Monthly, fast advice on consulting techniques with case studies.
1. Techniques for balance
From the first Balancing Act, September, 1999 (!!!):
One of the worst mistakes I've ever made was to "compartmentalize" my life. It dawned on me a few years ago that I don't have a "personal life" and a "business life," but simply A LIFE. Consequently, I do things when they feel right, which might include writing an article or taking care of client work on a Saturday morning, and sitting at the pool on a Tuesday afternoon.
Time is the great equalizer, since we all have the same amount of it available. When we say that we don't have the time to help a spouse, watch our children perform, fix things around the house, or improve ourselves, we really mean that we don't consider it a priority. We actually do have the time.
When you receive reading material that you may or may not want to review, place it in an obvious pile where you'll see it every day. Whatever you haven't read after two weeks, simply throw out. It's not urgent and you don't need it.
People often make the mistake of allotting time for various aspects of their life each week, thinking that the technique provides balance (e.g., two hours a day with the pets, an hour every other day exercising, a weekend day with a significant other). But this meting out of hours only provides quantity, not quality. The real test is in the intensity, fulfillment, and enjoyment of the time, not the mere expenditure of it.
Most anger is actually self-directed anger that is transferred to others in order to achieve self-preservation. If you're angry a lot of the time, don't assume you've met a rash of incompetent people on the phone, at work, among customers, and in social settings. Find out why you're really angry with yourself.
A certain amount of stress—eustress—is healthy because it keeps the adrenaline flowing and provides for a sense of urgency. We've all heard others (and/or ourselves) say, "I work best under pressure and approaching deadlines." Don't try to eliminate stress, but do try to manage it so that it creates energy but stops short of anxiety and paralysis.
Most people I've worked with place an inordinate emphasis on correcting weakness and do very little about building on strength. No one excels by correcting weaknesses (which simply serves to maintain the status quo a little more easily). Find out what your real strengths are (many people are totally unaware of some of them) and make plans to exploit them in work and at play.
Always have a book and a pad and pen next to your bed, even when traveling. If you can't sleep, read the book. If you suddenly have a bright idea, write it down. I find that many people lose their best ideas because they don't capture them quickly after thinking of them.
Balance in life and work is not about equal distribution. It is about variety, diversity, and establishing the correct priorities for yourself. I don't care if I never manage people again, because it's an activity that I loathed. But I get skittish if I don't have a book to read at any given moment when I have the urge to do so.
The "success trap" occurs when you are rewarded and lauded for something that you're good at but actually dislike. This is how jobs get in the way of careers, and necessary evils come to impede our lives. Let your internal gyroscope tell you what's right for you, not external influences.
2. Musings
Every new year brings with it a closer horizon. The cerulean sky and azure sea meet with more of a definition and less of a blend. I recall in Bora Bora being able to actually see the varied colors of the ocean meet in defined lines. Life is like the South Pacific's gorgeous waters.
So, too, your life becomes more defined with each passing year.
The playwright Tom Stoppard observed once that "Age is such a high price to pay for maturity." Yet life grows richer as you get older. The heights afford greater perspective and the lows aren't quite so threatening or elongated. We might never climb Kilimanjaro, but we've climbed to other, more dramatic heights in our lives.
To me, the new year (and the passage of time it represents) means that we can more closely examine what's important to us. We become more involved in Pinteresque moments, taking the time to understand and to question. Sometimes there are no answers, but merely recognizing the question is fulfilling. Life on this planet is a journey, not a destination.
Symbolism is important (else, we wouldn't need it), and the symbolic "gong" of the changing of the guard of time every January 1 is an excellent opportunity to take a breath, open your eyes, listen to what's around you, and sniff the wind. There exists the opportunity for reinvention and refocus, not in mere resolutions discarded like used play tickets in the morning, but in sincerely changing aspects of your life.
To leave the starting blocks and race into the new year no different from the way you crossed the finish line in the last one is, to me, a boring pursuit. (And having been a sprinter in my track days, I can attest that we lose a step with each passing year.) Perhaps we should change the distance. Or look for a short cut. Or not run a race at all.
My message is that, once the revelry is over, don't worry about vacant resolutions that are well meaning but unsupported, intellectual but not emotional. Find instead those changes that will bring new meaning to that closer horizon and your trip toward it.
I'm looking as the titivated Christmas tree still standing, beautiful still, but in its last days. Don't go into the new year all dressed up but with nowhere to go. The inexorable horizon awaits. Make the best of the distance that remains.
3. The human condition: Demonization
I love a good argument, and often suggest something I don't actually believe to see how well I can roil things and defend the position. I believe that intelligent and valuable people can have opposing points of view.
It's fair to debate the view, but sick to demonize the opposition. Once we create labels we create emotional "shields" which prevent all rational communication thereafter. I might disagree with your choice of a movie, but that doesn't make you (or me) a troglodyte, ignorant, or bereft of decency. It simply means that you saw more humor than I could possibly unearth in, say, "Bridesmaids."
The media—including the social media platforms—have abetted this tendency to condemn an individual's personal existence, or a group, or a country, or an ethnicity. We are certainly all, by any objective criteria, more similar than dissimilar, with the exception of what chugs along the synapses inside our heads. I can dislike an opposing politician's point of view without hating the person. I can disagree with a movement without demanding the expulsion of every member from the community.
When you listen today to anything from a school board hearing on whether athletes with an "F" grade in a class should be allowed to play, to a Facebook or YouTube exchange generating obscenity and hate over opposing views of a singer, you come to realize that we often instantly escalate a difference of opinion to a fight to the finish.
Jefferson noted once that, in matters of taste, swim with the tide, but in matters of principle, stand like a rock. We seem to be throwing rocks—and worse—at every difference in taste, orientation, and perspective. People are beaten at sporting events for rooting for the other team. Coaches are attacked by parents because their kid doesn't get enough playing time.
When I was chair of the town planning board, I once faced an irate citizen who demanded that an American flag be positioned at a certain point in the room and that the meetings begin with the Pledge of Allegiance. "Why?" I asked. "Because we must show our patriotism at every opportunity!" he asserted.
"Well, I believe that patriotism is manifest in more important ways than the arbitrary reciting of certain words in certain settings," I told him (just as I believe that true religion is based on a lot more than appearing at a set time in a certain building). The man stormed away, mumbling about my abilities.
When we demonize others we become demons ourselves. In virtually every belief system, a demon is non-human and malevolent. That's not the picture I want people to remember.

I flew to Melbourne from Sydney and one of my community members, Andrew Hollo, asked me to dinner with his wife. We were walking to the restaurant and I commented that it was much cooler in Melbourne than Sydney.
"It almost always is," he said.
"Why would that be?" I asked. "We're farther south here."
"True," said Andrew, "and if you keep going south you'll be at the South Pole."
Nothing like a change of hemisphere to freshen up your day….
The louder you yell, the more you're ignored. But pause at the right time, and people stop to listen. -- AW

The Return of Chorb
by Vladimir Nabokov
Analysis: Tone
Take a story's temperature by studying its tone. Is it hopeful? Cynical? Snarky? Playful?
Eerie, Spectral, Morbid
To check out tone in "Chorb," just look at the language Nabokov uses to describe even the smallest of details. The newspaper boy utters a "hollow crepuscular cry" while "decrepit fiacres" stand in file. The seedy hotel displays "ragged lace" in its "bleary windows." This is basically a souped-up version of "it was a dark and stormy night…" Not only is the scenery shadowy and creepy (did you see the word "black" used eleven times? Because we did), but so are the almost supernatural occurrences. Look at the way the "naked bulb" swings its shadow across the hotel room, or the eerie sound of a moth hitting the lampshade. It's almost as though this is a story about the spectral appearance of a dead woman or something. Oh…
