Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that's NOT buying a new iPhone.
Wednesday, Apple unveiled its thinner, lighter iPhone 5 and we've got to say we can't even pretend to care. The phone though features a bigger screen than it's predecessor, the iPhone 4s. We'd like to ask Siri a question:
SUMMIT UP: Siri, at what point does a phone become too thin, too fast, too light and too awesome?
Siri: (Politely answers) Well at Apple we strive to continue to push the envelope of beautiful innovation.
SU: Okay... so how much less is this phone going to cost this time?
Siri: $199-$399 with a new contract, $599 without.
SU: Gasp! Are there any people left in the world with a contract!?
Siri: Our target market keeps shrinking every day, but we're determined to get everyone in the world on an iPhone bahahahah! (evil laughter).
And now a belated congratulations to Megan McClearly and Tommy Owens of Colorado Springs, right, who tied the knot Aug. 11 at Lake Powell Resort in Page, Ariz. Megan is a 2004 graduate of Summit High School - Awwww man! They grow up so fast. We wish you a lifetime of happiness!
Switching gears, we recently got word of a Random Act of Kindness by American Family Insurance from Sherry Wofford who writes thusly:
"Upon getting word of a stressful family situation involving young children, Leslie, Laurie, Ryan and gang immediately gathered various and assorted supplies and gift cards for essentials to give to the family ... approximately $700 (or more) in value!
This awesome random act of kindness was greatly appreciated! Thank you, American Family Insurance!"
Oh gee, it's that type of caring attitude that will refresh faith in humanity. We Out.

text: Selling parks Recently we heard that Governor Scott is considering selling off "surplus" park land to raise money. As many as 64 parks and conservation areas are affected. One site on the list is Blue Spring State Park. This park is a manatee refuge and contains the largest spring on the St. Johns River. It offers fishing, swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving, as well as kayaking and boating. It also has historic artifacts. In 2011, it was listed as the ninth most visited Florida state park, meaning that only eight parks have more visitors. Perhaps this isn't surprising considering that Blue Spring State Park draws over 550,000 visitors per year. Why would we want to sell any of the land associated with this marvelous park? Incredibly, Lake Louisa State Park, another of my favorite parks, is also on the list of parks with "surplus" land. Another item on the hit list is thousands of acres of the Green Swamp in Polk County just to our north. One problem here is that four rivers have their headwaters in the Green Swamp area. Preserving these lands keeps these rivers clean and healthy. Small wonder that Charles Lee, director of advocacy for Florida Audubon, described the proposal to sell off land in the Green Swamp as "simply idiotic."Perhaps this attack on "surplus" park land should not surprise us. In 2011, the Scott administration considered closing 53 parks. At least four were drawing 50,000 visitors a year. I checked the figures on two of these parks that were said to be too expensive to operate. If you divide the operating cost by the number of visitors, they cost between $20 and $22 per visitor. This does not seem exorbitant to me and the number of visitors should rise as the economy improves. Governor Scott and his Republican allies were forced to back down in 2011 and hopefully they will be forced to do so again. Dale L. Gillis Sebring 'Enough' in AP When my brother and I had a "conflict," my Italian mother would scream "Basta!" which in her language meant "enough!" It is time, my fellow Avon Park citizens, to scream "Basta!" I don't know about you but I am tired of reading about a city council member in "conflict" with the city manager. No doubt the "conflict" has roots for each concerned. Taking sides gets nowhere. Everyone has an opinion. Facts stand alone. Each has a job to do - one that is paid by the taxpayers and the other a council member who is accountable to the entire city - not a few, single-issues, folks. Having had my turn as a city council member, I can certainly sympathize with the task of representing 8,000-plus residents. I can also say that the temptation to have a hidden agenda, or serving one's own desires, is always there. It takes vigilance and a long view to stay focused on the big picture: the prosperity of the city of Avon Park. There is nothing that thwarts such an effort as constant turmoil. Folks will look elsewhere to buy a home or invest in a business. No one wins. Give your paid employee, the city manager, a chance to do his work. Evaluate his progress and reward him accordingly. It is that simple and need not take the time and energy of his position to defend lawsuits and recriminations by a council member. It is simply enough. Get to work. Make our city the name it carries: The City of Charm, and get some positive press for a change! Basta! Justine Devlin Avon Park

Promises to Myself for the New Year
Published Jan 6, 2011
- First of all, I need to get organized. I'll get out all my random notes, including my exercise notebook I've kept for several years with all of my favorite and most helpful stretches and exercise moves diagrammed.
- I will make my best effort to perform stretches each day or at least every other day to keep limber and to alleviate some of my pain. If I don't, I may end up looking like a human question mark. It might be time to buy a couple of new stretchy bands. Scares the beans out of me when the old ones pop.
- I will continue to clutter up my small home with a giant red exercise ball because it is ideal for maintaining balance and strength. Sitting on it while lifting my small weights, I will do my best not to fall off. Balance is so important. All I need is a fall. Then I'd be "toast" for certain.
- I think I'll get out all of my Dr. Andrew Weil books and review my eating habits, herbal supplements, and other intake. This should include drinking more fluids throughout the day. Have to keep those membranes in the mouth, nose, and gut moist and healthy.
- I'll continue my routine at night while watching television and lift a small weight. I need to keep my arms and shoulders as strong as possible for lifting groceries and dogs, doing chores, and most importantly, hugging my grandchildren.
- I will say a prayer of thanks each day for all of the beauty that surrounds us: the sparkling Columbia River, the amazingly varied shades of green on the many trees, ferns, and, okay, even the green walkways. I will not grouse about all the rain because it brings all this beauty directly to our door.
- I will be thankful we have enough to eat and can choose from the bounty at our local markets, have the money to buy what we need, and live in a warmly pleasant home.
- I will hug, love. and perform considerate acts for those I love as I value each day of my life. Pain, you aren't in charge, you're just along for my ride.
- I will try to bitch less often and hand out more complements verbally, instead of keeping them to myself. I will attempt to "shut my mouth" more often.
- I will continue to mourn loved ones we lost last year as I cherish their memories, continue to talk to them and about them, and reassure those near and dear that life is truly wonderful. I often waste too much valuable time with "what ifs" and remorse. Self-pity, you may seep into my life, but I don't have to let you stay for long. Guilt, you are useless. Thanksgiving can be each day. I will try to always remember, love is the most cherished of all valuables.

CLINTON — A dead dog and bad blood, Bill Pruitt says, were behind an Anderson County Chancery Court legal action against him that was dropped by the petitioner — a candidate for chancellor — minutes into a scheduled two-day bench trial Wednesday morning.
At issue was a Chancery Court petition filed by J. Philip Harber to sell three tracts of land originally owned by relatives of Bill and Shirley Pruitt and surrounding the tiny tract where the Pruitts' dilapidated home is located.
Harber last winter purchased quitclaim deeds from the Pruitt's relatives, giving him partial ownership of those surrounding lands.
Harber is a Republican running for chancellor. His attorney, Mike Clement, is a Democrat running for Anderson County Juvenile Court judge.
Minutes into opening testimony, attorneys for both sides met in Chancellor Bill Lantrip's chambers. Clement then announced the case would be voluntarily nonsuited. He said that move was "the legally prudent thing to do."
Harber declined to comment.
But some of the parties named in Harber's petition, along with the Pruitts' attorneys, had plenty to say.
In opening statements, attorney Phil Crye, representing Bill Pruitt's wife, Shirley, described Harber's petition as "part of a scheme motivated by animus and ill will to punish Mr. Pruitt and remove him from his property."
"He (Harber) is trying to punish this poor, unsophisticated man by bringing this lawsuit," said Bill Pruitt's lawyer, Mark Foster, in his opening statement.
After court, Bill Pruitt said, "All this occurred over two things: speculation that I killed his (Harber's) dog in 2007, and he was mad and angry with me because I brought him to court for making false allegations about me and my business."
Pruitt, a tow truck operator, denied having anything to do with the death of Harber's dog.
In October, Pruitt sued Harber and his wife, Martha, in Sessions Court, alleging slander and "negligent interference with business relationships," and the Harbers filed legal action claiming malicious prosecution. Both cases were dismissed in January.
Harber then researched ownership of tracts surrounding the Pruitts' land, met with the owners and offered them varying amounts of money in exchange for signing quitclaims, according to the Pruitts' attorneys and some of their relatives.
"He (Harber) wanted to buy their interests to get to my house," Shirley Pruitt said after the case was dismissed. "He lied to each and every one and told each one a different story."

MACON, Ga. (AP) -- Police say they're searching for two suspects after one person was shot and killed and two others were wounded in the parking lot of a Waffle House restaurant.
Macon police spokeswoman Jami Gaudet says the gunfire happened Sunday morning at the Waffle House on Chambers Road.
Police said officers found 20-year-old Christopher Crowder unresponsive in the parking lot with a gunshot wound to his face. He was later pronounced dead.
Authorities say another 20-year-old man was hospitalized with several gunshot wounds in the pelvic area. A 19-year-old woman was grazed by a bullet on her back, and was treated at a hospital and later released.
It was not immediately known what sparked the shootings.

I use both renderers with PS3 Mediaserver.
Philips TV 40pfl8605h_12.
Philips blu_ray home theatre system HTS9520_12.
I am busy creating a PS3 Media Server renderer configuration profile file for these renderers.
The TV supports No subtitles, so transcode all video files with subtitles works great!
The HTS supports embedded subtitles, but No external subtitles like (.srt) through DLNA.
Unfortunately it seems not possible stream video files with embedded suptitles like the (UTF-8) format,
with the use of the "Supported" and "MediaInfo = true".
Using "skip transcode for following extensions" in the "Common transcode settings" tab,
or in the renderer config file with "StreamExtensions = " will skip transcoding.
This enables the renderer capabilities like:
Search on time, chapter, REW/FF, switch between audio and subtitle tracks.
Unfortunately this will overrule the defines with the "Supported" lines.
Also external subtitles (.srt) will be faulty streamed and not transcoded.
PS3 Media Server is written for the PS3, but it will be great to have an possibility
to give support to embedded subtitles per renderer in the "media renderer config file",
with the use of the supported codecs formats programmed.
Kind regards

About the Book
Are you made fainthearted by death? Does fire unnerve you? Is a villain something that might crop up in future nightmares of yours? Are you thrilled by nefarious plots? Is cold porridge upsetting to you? Vicious threats? Hooks? Uncomfortable clothing?
It is likely that your answers will reveal A Series of Unfortunate Events to be ill-suited for your personal use. A librarian, bookseller, or acquaintance should be able to suggest books more appropriate for your fragile temperament. But to the rarest of readers we say, "Proceed, but cautiously."
Dear Reader,
"Rare" is a word which can mean either "not burnt to a crisp, and likely to make you ill" or "slightly harder to find." I'm sad to say that this rare and wretchedly enhanced edition of The Bad Beginning fits both of these definitions. In this alleged electronic book, you will find the following:
- A woeful story entitled The Bad Beginning
- An entire chapter of author's notes, which are arguably even more woeful than the tale itself and for no good reason, are linked to the referenced passages
- An alarming portrait of the heroes and villains of this tale that you may choose to view whenever you please, however highly ill-advised
- A short film aptly named Scream and Run Away!
It is my sad duty to provide these miserable materials to the public, but you are free to look for something easier to find and less likely to upset your stomach.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket

Remember Rwanda's 1994 genocide, which killed a million people - an event still reverberating across Africa? Remember the anguished hand-wringing over how to respond, which ended only when the slaughter became too outrageous to ignore? Remember the earnest vow that such an enormity could not be allowed to happen again?
And when it did the following year in Bosnia, remember the anguished hand-wringing over what to do about ethnic cleansing and the Serbian snipers of Sarajevo using civilians for target practice? After the massacre at Srebrenica, didn't we tell ourselves these sorts of atrocities should be prevented?
Well, here we are again. This time, the victims are residents of Baba Amr, a ramshackle suburb of the western Syrian city of Homs. The wider target is any Syrian who thinks the bloody-handed Assad family must go. A minimum of 5,000 people have died - equal to those slain at Srebrenica. The actual figure is impossible to determine, since the Syrian government is moving heaven and earth to keep its butchery out of the public eye.
What is our response? Anguished hand-wringing and severe scolding. Exhortations by our secretary of state that the Syrian military should depose its commander-in-chief. In a word, weakness. Contrast this with our response to a similar situation in Libya a year ago and uncomfortable questions rise. Does our lack of action spring from election-year politics? Or from the fact that while Libya has ample oil reserves, Syria has none? Remember, that was the analysis when George Bush was in office ...
Unfortunately both for us and for the Syrian people, our impotence seems to originate not in malicious calculation, but from incompetence. The Syrian horror, like the risings in Libya and Yemen, are manifestations of the great unrest we hopefully styled the "Arab Spring." It was as inevitable as day following night, and our inability either to predict or to plan a response to it speaks volumes about this administration's attitude about foreign relations.
Why was the administration surprised by the Syrian government's attacks on civilians? This February marks the 30th anniversary of the eradication of the Syrian city of Hama by Hafez al-Assad, Bashar's father. Following a similar but smaller outbreak of unrest, the elder Assad surrounded Hama, a known hotbed of agitation, with artillery and bombarded it for a week. Afterward, he sent in elite troops to murder the survivors. The old city was razed and literally paved over: for decades, New Hama sported the Middle East's largest parking lot. This is a regime that will kill as many people as necessary to retain power. Not to recognize this and plan accordingly is deadly.
Why was the administration surprised that Russia and China would forestall action by the UN? Assad is only doing what these two have done, and on a larger scale; international action on Syria would send a very disquieting message to their populations about limits on a state's power to commit murder to maintain order. Moreover, Russia is a longtime political ally and military supplier to the Assad regime. We should have anticipated this, but apparently we believed that the interests of Russia and China echoed our own, or that talk would trump gunfire and iron-fisted oppression - another deadly misjudgment.
And why do we not recognize the opportunity Syria offers us to solve the problem of Iran? The Middle East knows that Damascus and Tehran are allies, and that Syria is Iran's entrepôt into the Arab world, its conduit for mischief with its creatures Hamas and Hezbollah. If Assad falls as a result of popular protest, what message will that send to the long-suffering people of Iran - and to Tehran's theocracy? We stood aside with nary a peep in 2011 while religious gangsters beat the Iranian people back into submission; here's a chance to make amends for that error, and advance our country's interests in the region.
Is there danger in taking sides in Syria? Yes. The Syrian opposition undoubtedly contains Islamist elements, exactly as it did in Libya and Egypt; concern over a possible Islamist takeover is a major reason large ethnic groups in Syria continue to support the government. We too, should realize that such a new government may not be very friendly to us. But should this concern paralyze us, when there are many positive geopolitical results to be reaped from forthright, immediate action in concert with, for example, the Gulf Cooperation Council and Turkey? Call it "addressing humanitarian concerns," if that sounds better.
Or, we can continue to wring our hands in anguish and chastise Bashar Assad's blood-spattered thugs. And when the Syrian opposition has been ground to dust, vow that this sort of thing will never happen again. I'm sure the dead of Baba Amr will appreciate the sentiment.

By now, players are used to the different vibe when Tiger Woods isn't around.
Woods missed the last two majors in 2008 and the middle two majors in 2011 because of injuries. With back problems this year, he missed his title defense at Bay Hill and missed the Masters for the first time.
The Players Championship, which begins Thursday in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, is the second title defense that Woods is missing as he recovers from surgery.
"There's no doubt he plays a huge impact on the feel of a tournament," Adam Scott said. "He is obviously the No. 1 player in the world and one of sport's biggest people in the world. So the attention he draws is massive, from the gallery to the media. So it's obvious when he's not around."
Does that mean it's easier to win?
That hasn't been the case this year. Of the top 10 players in the world, only Masters champion Bubba Watson (No. 4), Matt Kuchar (No. 5) and Jason Day (No. 6) have won tournaments.
"There are so many guys winning events now that you've got to look past just No. 1," Scott said. "He won five times last year, and that's a lot, so obviously in a way it's one contender that you don't have to deal with. But the list is long here this week, and other guys are going to play great.
"I don't see it as being as simple as the field versus Tiger."
Four players have a chance to reach No. 1 at The Players Championship -- Scott, Henrik Stenson, Watson and Kuchar.
"This has been taking longer than we thought," said PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem, who also didn't rule out a return to Tucson, Arizona, which has an experienced host organization in the Conquistadors and an area that is a strong golf market.

PINOLE -- Responding to a petition circulated by family and friends desperate for resolution, the Pinole Police Department announced Tuesday it would reopen the case of Amber Swartz, who went missing in June 1988 at age 7.
Last week, Lea Deuel, a friend and former neighbor of the Swartz family, started an online petition asking authorities to reopen the case, which the FBI closed in 2009. As of Tuesday evening, almost 1,300 people had signed the petition.
In 2007, 46-year-old Curtis Dean Anderson reportedly confessed during an interview at Corcoran State Prison that he abducted Amber and took her to an Arizona motel before murdering her and discarding her body somewhere in the desert outside Benson, Ariz. No remains have ever been found.
"I'm ecstatic that the chief has decided to reopen the case and re-examine everything," Amber's mother, Kim Swartz, said at a Pinole City Council meeting Tuesday night. "I would rather have my daughter in a missing persons database for eternity than having someone like Curtis Anderson get off death row by simply signing some sort of confession."
At the time of his confession in November 2007, Anderson was serving a 251-year sentence for kidnapping and sexually assaulting an 8-year-old Vallejo girl, who escaped; he had been sentenced to an additional 50 years to life for the 1999 kidnapping and murder of 7-year-old Xiana Fairchild of Vallejo.
Some, including Amber's mother, Kim Swartz, said they did not accept the confession, stating the FBI never provided any physical evidence to corroborate it. Anderson died in prison in December 2007.
"Amber should be found," said family friend Lisa Sanchez. "Her perpetrator is out there and he should be punished. An evil person walks this earth still."
Pinole resident Rebecca Souza, the aunt of Monica Nicole DaSilva Crain, who was abducted and murdered in 1990 in Reno, echoed the Swartzs' need to find some closure with the case.
Souza said her niece's case remains "open" because Monica's killer was never found but that it is a great comfort to her family to be able to pick up a phone and call detectives assigned to the case to see whether updates or progress have been made.
"You can't close a case and leave a little girl out there," she said. "It's not fair. You have to bring her home."
In a news release, Pinole police Chief John Hardester said he hopes reopening the case will encourage anyone with information on Amber's disappearance to step forward. New technology that wasn't available during the prior investigation will also be at their disposal, he added.
"It helps put another set of eyes on evidence that has already been looked at," Hardester said. "We want to make sure we do everything possible to find out where Amber is located. Our primary focus: Find Amber."
Anyone with information regarding Amber's disappearance is asked to call the Pinole Police Department at 510-724-8950.

When you�re 16, the idea that you have to �survive� things can take up a lot of your time. For me, it was trying to survive a gym class where I had to perform gymnastics routines on an actual balance beam and uneven bars. For 16 year-old Frankie Dunlevy (Connor Buckley), it�s outlasting his father�s attempts at parenting. Thanks to a great performance by Christopher Meloni as the parent in question, �Surviving Jack� is a coming of age story worth watching even if the worst thing you remember surviving as a 16 year-old is yourself.
Set in the 1990�s and narrated by the adult Frankie, �Surviving Jack� focuses on Frankie�s relationship with his father Jack Dunlevy, a good intentioned, no-nonsense doctor who becomes a full time parent when his wife goes to law school. Meloni, who played a no-nonsense detective on �Law and Order: SVU,� gives Jack a similarly focused intensity but now he�s allowed to be funny. It�s a great combination that Meloni delivers effortlessly. Jack is the dad who is awake at 3 a.m. to catch you getting up to no good and then calmly punishes you by making you run a lap around the neighborhood. He�s straightforward and lacks a filter which gives Meloni a chance to shine with a skillful deadpan delivery. When he finds out Frankie and his friends stole some nudie magazines from a homeless man, he tells him: �You will never have sex with a woman who looks like that� and to return what he stole�in that order. When Frankie confides in Jack that he likes a girl, he finds a box of condoms in his lunch bag with a note that reads: �I will only pay for a baby that comes out of your mother.� The problem is, he�s not the one who finds the note first and it�s read out to the entire school cafeteria.
Rachael Harris plays Jack�s wife Joanne. They have a partnership that feels equal, a refreshing characterization that�s often missing in the husband/wife dynamics of situation comedies. Harris has more scenes with Frankie�s sister Rachel (Claudia Lee) and she gives the mother/daughter moments a believable and funny awkwardness. Her interactions with Meloni achieve a nice chemistry that allows each actor room to land the punch line. When she thinks Jack isn�t taking a situation with Rachel and her boyfriend seriously, she warns: �I want you to remember this moment when we�re at Rachel�s fourth wedding.� He says: �I�ll be too drunk.�
Frankie�s coming of age tale is also Jack�s coming of age story, as he deepens his relationship with his children and learns how to be a better father. The 1990�s setting, complete with soundtrack, may have limited appeal to those who want their situation comedies minus nostalgia and the narration distracts from the show. But thanks to Meloni, �Surviving Jack� deserves to survive.
�Surviving Jack� is on Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. EDT on Fox.

Good quality, easy to use case...
Reviewed by Christopher. Review Posted 24/09/2013
I bought this case for my first PC build. The build quality feels and looks good and strong. All the hardware I bought fitted perfectly without any issues and the design of the case allowed me to keep loose cables tidy. The fans provided are relatively quiet and the dust filter below the PSU is a handy feature. The LED's for the power button and the HDD are a bright white, which looks really nice. The only con of this case, as far as I'm concerned, is that the power button feels cheap.

Arrived today, first notice how light the case is compared to my old Zaltman GS1000plus. Feels tinny, looks good. Plain no frills, small, but not to small nicely set out inside, as described in adverts. Get to work prepare my mATX mother board for fitting. Screw 1st adapter nut onto case back plate (This is to allow the fixing of mATX to back plate.) FIT SECOND! oh, NO SECOND. So that's why it felt so light. 1 Adapter missing. Build stopped..e-mail..Corsair..stop..e-mail BT..stop..Hunt around my garage to see if I can find anything to do the job..stop..Wait a few weeks for an replacement, I hope..stopped..

Registration FAQ for 2011
Posted 10 May 2010 - 02:25 PM
I will be keeping this thread open so you can ask questions in here. However as I answer them I will be deleting the posts asking the question, but in my post answering the full text of the question will be quoted.
This is simply to keep this thread uncluttered. Feel free to make a new post asking a question if you wish.
How do I register for a badge?
Look at the following posts:
Pre-Reg Step 1: Create an EZLogin account.
Pre-Reg Step 2: Entering Attendee Information
Pre-Reg Step 3a: Payment for Badges. (Snail Mail)
Pre-Reg Step 3b: Payment for Badges. (Paypal)
How much do badges cost?
Badges cost the following (All prices are per person)
So until 9/1/2011 Pre-reg will be $40.From 9/2/2011 until 11/1/2011 Pre-reg will be $45.
and 11/2/2011 until 1/8/2012 Pre-reg will be $50.
And At-door will be $55.
If you register for 10 or more badges at the same time you will get a $5 discount per badge.
At Con-Badge registration: (Only available at the door) (Single day prices have been updated for 2012)
At door prices for 2012
$55 Weekend
$30 Fri
$35 Sat
$45 Sat/Sun
$10 Sunday
Children under 13 (12 or under) = Free with a paid adult
Pre-registration Badges are good for the full weekend. On occasion pre-registered badges may give additional benefits.
I have young children do they need badges?
Everyone attending Ohayocon needs a badge.
However children under the age of 13 (That means 12 & younger) can request a childrens badge which is free when associated with a paid badge.
To get a childrens badge email me at firstname.lastname@example.com once you have purchased a badge for the child's badge to be associated with.
(Comped badges may also request children's badges)
We will request an emergency contact number to be associated with the badge which will only be used for emergencys.
I already bought my badge, but I can't make it to Ohayocon. Can I get a refund?
No. All sales are final and we do not offer refunds no matter the reason. Although purchasing pre-registration badges does save you money, we recommend that you wait to purchase the badge until you are sure that your schedule and finances will work out for that weekend.
I already bought my badge, but I can't make it to Ohayocon. Can I give my badge to someone else?
Maybe. We have allowed people to transfer badges if we are given enough time and a good reason. For now if you pre-register and need to transfer your badge contact me at email@example.com
I volunteered last year what do i have to do to get my free pass?
If you volunteered as a gopher, you should of already received a confirmation email for 2011. You are considered pre-registered and simply pick up your badge next year at the pre-registration table.
If you did not get a confirmation email, please contact me at email@example.com and I will look into it.
What hours is registration open?
Thursday 9pm until midnight (Tentative open time) ( Also pre-reg pick up only. No at-con registration)
Friday 9am until 9pm
Saturday 9am until 9pm
Sunday 9am until 3pm
When do the lines form?
Lines form as people show up. If I say the lines open at 8am then people will show up at 7. If I say 7, they will show up at 6.
And in the past when we didn't have a Thursday pick up I had people waiting in line Thursday for Fridays open.
So there is no "official line open time". However if you are waiting outside of registration please stay against the wall to not get in peoples way and convention/hotel staff may ask you to line up against the wall. Basically obey common courtesy and no pushing.
Do you offer military discounts, senior, or student discounts?
Sorry not at this time.
What kind of payments do you take?
Check/Money Order through the mail
Check/Credit card through the online system (This requires a paypal account).
Check/ Money Order/ Cash
We are working on accepting credit cards but it is not guaranteed for 2011 at this point.
When is the convention?
January 28,29,30 2011
I have a question about ....
Feel free to contact me via PM or email at email@example.com
Posted 24 May 2010 - 10:34 PM
Why did the cost for registration go up? Would that make it hard for some poeple afford go to the convention now?
Basically it boils down to two changes.
1. The weekend price went up $5. This is the first price increase in our weekend price in I believe over 4 years and I am pretty sure is less then inflation.
2. I was told to switch back to 2 pre-registration periods rather then 3 (Which is what we had in years prior to 2010).
The switch to 2 pre-reg periods means 2 discounts. so the $50 only drops to $40.
We only had the third period last year which only lasted about a month because the $30 price was announced and it wouldn't be fair to announce a price and not honor it.
I don't know how to answer other then to say it is related to the rising expenses in running the convention as we try to bring more events guests and activities for the con goer.
Posted 08 September 2010 - 12:37 AM
i dont know if this is the correct spot, but im looking to finally make the transition from ohayocon gopher to security. what would i have to do to sign up to security?
There's the application form to staff at http://www.ohayocon.org/stafffrom.html
it only says staff not security. so do i fill that out and then they contact me about what specific branch of staff id like or am sutable for?
Security is staff. Just put in the last box with "The anything else you want to tell us" that you are interested in security. I'm not sure if there was a specific security job code for the first box.
Posted 28 September 2010 - 12:43 AM
Am I able to pay for my registration using my checking account direct withdrawal or do I have to use a credit card or e-check? I tried direct and it seemed to fail.
You should be able to pay using paypal for the direct withdraw.
Did it give a error? Or did you get a paypal receipt and the badges don't show up in the system/no confirmation from firstname.lastname@example.com?
If you use paypal's as an e-check (which I believe is what happens if you do the direct withdraw) then we get two notifications from paypal.
One when you submit it. One when it "clears". The badges get added to the system when it "clears". This usually takes 3-5 business days.
If you have a paypal receipt # you can email/pm me about it and I can look to see if it is pending or if something went wrong.
Posted 28 September 2010 - 12:50 AM
I'm registering for 10+ badges, do I have to pick them all up or can each person pick theirs up themselves?
I am still deciding on how I want to handle it. Here is what I did last year and will be similar based on what the group situation looks like.
I will be emailing groups once the pre-registration period has closed and give the group leader the option of picking them all up or everyone picks up their own.
One requirement I've had in the past for leaders picking up their entire group is that the must leave us a working cell contact number.
This number will be given out to any group members who show up and try to pick up their badges.
The info will be clarified as we approach the convention.
Posted 28 September 2010 - 12:53 AM
Will the attendee name appear on the badge? My first and last name are boring, so I'd rather use a handle if it will be displayed on the badge. Just wanna know before I order.
We do not write anything on badges.
We do require you to write a name on the badge. It can be a pseudonym, your real name, or anything.
We simply do not allow you to leave it blank.
Badges will be numbered and that will tie your badge with the information in our system.
We have found this much easier than trying to print out nick names on demand and dealing with the privacy/safety concerns of real names on badges.
On a related note, I am extremely tempted to implement a new rule where you will lose your badge if you try to leave the room with one of registration's permanent markers.
Posted 11 October 2010 - 10:51 AM
if im planing to send money for pre reg. through the mail with out using paypal, how would i go about doing that?
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am really confused about this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
much appreciated. thx in advanced for answering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You follow these steps
Pre-reg steps 1,2, 3a in the stickies of the registration forum.
You create an ezreg account. (step 1)
Put in everyone's information for the people you are buying badges for. (Step 2)
Print out the home page which has the people's ezreg # on them. (Step 3a)
And mail them with a check or money order. (Step 3a)
Also Do NOT send cash.
Posted 14 October 2010 - 04:12 PM
Why not send Cash?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
And how would one enter the cosplay contest(rules, can the cosplay be bought or does it have to be made, and of course(repeat alert), how you enter)
Thank You
Easy question first.
How you register for the cosplay contest is at
and any questions about it can be emailed to:
As for sending cash.
We don't want to risk getting sent empty envelopes. (Either from unscrupulous postal workers or trying to blame unscrupulous postal workers after sending empty envelopes)
Check's and money orders can be reported stolen and money isn't lost.
Money orders are easy to get from banks, stores, convenience stores.
Posted 14 October 2010 - 04:18 PM
This may be a bit unrelated, but I'm not sure where else to ask it.
Is there an estimated time when artist alley applications are going to be opened? I'm going to be registering a group of about 16 people in order to get the group discount, but two of the people in my group are waiting to see if they can get an artist alley table (and the accompanying two badges) instead. Is it possible for them to register for an AA table before October 31 so we can safely count them out of our group and get our badges before the price hike?
Edit: DERP. I just found the answer to my question. I didn't realize that registering took place on the forums. The website page says that registration for Artist's Alley is still not open, which is the main thing my friends and I were looking at. I'll point them in the direction of the forums.
For anyone else in this situation. Do this:
1. Register all members (including any potential AA ) as part of the single group.
2. Have potential AA apply for the table.
If they don't make it into AA they have the discounted badge and are all set.
If they are accepted into AA have them contact me through pm or email at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will work out steps for paying for the AA table.
Assuming they registered right now it would be $70 that they pay for their 2 group tickets. We would apply the $70 to the $120 that is required for AA.
So I will have to work out the remaining $50 with them (Basically they will need to send a second check or paypal the remainder)
Again they should contact me before sending any additional money.
Sorry about that webpage not showing AA being open. I'll poke our webmonkey again and hopefully get it updated.
Posted 17 October 2010 - 08:41 PM
I just pre-registered my little sister and I, and I saw we need ID to claim the badges. I have my license, but what should she bring? Will a school ID work?
Since your family members and registered at the same time, your id will be enough to pick them up.
Posted 18 October 2010 - 10:18 AM
I'm actually having about 20 people pre-register, is it possible to get another 5 dollar discount?
Sorry no, the group rate is $5 off.
Posted 19 October 2010 - 10:34 AM
does the $5 group discount have an experation date???????????????????????
The $5 discount for groups of 10 or more is good for pre-regging only.
So if you are pre-regging you can get it. If you are registerring at the con you can NOT.
One thing to note is that price will be going up at the end of the month from $40 to $45.
So group rate will be going from $35 to $40 at that point.
Posted 20 October 2010 - 08:32 PM
for the cosplay contest and cosplay craftsmen ship, can you use a different cosplay for the contest and the craftsmenship?
my girl friend needs to know.
thx in advance!!!!!!!!!!!
Cosplay forum is at http://forums.ohayoc...hp?showforum=15
or send email to firstname.lastname@example.com for cosplay questions.
Posted 23 October 2010 - 08:43 PM
I sent my registration and money in via snail mail and my check was cashed on 9/21/10 but my badge isn't listed as being processed and I haven't gotten an email confirmation yet. I'm a little confused, how long does it take for a badge to be processed after the check is cashed?
email may have bounced. pm or email me your information and I will look into it.
Posted 27 October 2010 - 12:10 PM
In order to get the $40 rate by registering before the end of October, do you have to receive the registration by that point (if it's by snail mail) or should it just be post-marked by then?
Posted 28 October 2010 - 11:46 PM
In the past I was able to pre-register for Saturday only. Is there a pre-register available for saturday only?? I tried to do a saturday only but when I went to the registration screen it was for 40 dollars meaning all weekend not just saturday. Can you help me!!!
Sorry pre-reg is for the weekend only.
Posted 04 November 2010 - 11:11 AM
I know you told me to e-mail you for problems, but I have to dodge the bullet here and take chances on a small computer with only an hour till work, I need to ask why the EZreg thing won't sign me in when I've already created an account. When I enter my account, my password and my e-mail the thing switches to another page saying at the bottom "The e-mail you are using is already in use, please use another e-mail"
What should I do? Will it have to be a priority to make an e-mail every year?
Did you get an activation email? Is it saying the account is locked?
You can PM your info to me on the forum and I can look it up.
You shouldn't have to create an new account.
One suggestion is to shut down the web browser and open it back up. go straight to http://www.centaurstage.com/ohayocon/
then click the login in link and try to log in.
Posted 21 November 2010 - 03:33 PM
Is there any way to pick up pre-reg passes on Friday?
You can pick up your pre-reg passes any time reg is open.
Fri 9-9, Sat 9-9, Sun 9-4 and Thursday approx 9pm-midnight. (Thursday time is tentative)
If you see one big line, check at the front and ask where the pre-reg line is.
Posted 08 December 2010 - 10:10 AM
I was wondering if you need a new EZreg account for this year even if you already made one last year. THANKS!
Your ez-reg ID from last year is still good, you just need to buy new badges for this year. Please make sure the information is up to date in your ez-reg account.
What he said.
Your log in should still work and you should be able to update the information by clicking on the names that show up on your home page.
Posted 10 December 2010 - 11:17 AM
Any word on how groups are to pick up their badges? I have people in my group asking
We'd actually prefer to pick them up individually if possible
Groups will be contacted once pre-registration has closed.
The group leader (The person who sent the information in) will be given the choice of picking them all up or letting them pick it up individually.

Nice little room, not the latest decor but super clean. The owners are very nice, look after you and provide lots of useful tips. The apartment is totally central, is easily reached by bus or Metro. We liked it very well, were certainly not the last time there.
Nettes kleines Zimmer, nicht die neueste Einrichtung,aber super sauber. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett, kümmern sich um einen und geben viele nützliche Tipps. Die Wohnung liegt total zentral, ist mit Bus oder Metro sehr gut zu erreichen. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen, waren bestimmt nicht das letzte mal dort.
I found Aisha and her husband kind people but what they did was not precise.
The first day was the worst. I booked the room including private bath but she gave the room another guests because she was confused about guests. She told me that she would change the room next day and I had to spend the first night in the very small room without private bath even though I had paid for the room with the private bath.
Although my arrival was a bit late as my flight was delayed she should have checked the guests precisely.
Wifi signal was very weak and I had a cold shower despite the fact that I turned on the boiler as I was told. Housing facilities were mostly old and worn.
I don't mind dogs but it was quite irritating to get dog hair all over my clothes after sleeping.
If you booked this room, you could see the worst king size bed. It is even more awful than you can imagine.
But again, they are kind. They gave me some useful tour maps and Aero bus time tables. Also you can use the kitchen.
Spijtig genoeg was het niet de kamer die op de site gepresenteerd wordt, maar een studentenkamer waarvoor nu geen studenten meer gevraagd worden. De prijs zou voor hen te hoog zijn.
Techy was wel zeer vriendelijk, maar het gezamenlijke gebruik van de keuken, zonder een eetruimte, was toch niets voor ons.
Vale una stella solo per voler bene al cane che c'è in casa. Camera completamente diversa dalle foto dell'annuncio. Per un soggiorno di tre giorni non è mai stata cambiata la biancheria da bagno. Pretendono silenzio e discrezione nei confronti anche degli altri ospiti mentre loro alle 23:30 / 00:00 sbattono porte e parlano a voce alta. La privaci non la conosco ti entrano in camera anche mentre stai dormendo. SCONSIGLIATISSIMO!
Das Zimmer ist in einer alten Wohnung, die über ein enges Treppenhaus mit vielen Stufen erreichbar ist. Für Leute über 60 Jahre nicht empfehlenswert. Die Wohnung hat 4 Zimmer (eines davon bewohnt der Vermiete) Küche und Bad. Drei Zimmer werden vermietet ( eines mit extra Bad). Küche und zentrales Bad kann mitbenuztz werden. Wir hatten das Zimmer mit extra Bad. Das Bild des Zimmers, das angeboten wird, gibt es nicht. in diesem Zimmer wohnt der Vermieter. Die anderen drei Zimmer sind mit schlecht gedämmten Gipskartonwänden geschaffen worden. Unser Zimmer mit Doppelbett (1,5 x 2,0 m), einfachst Schrank und wackeligem Schreibtischchen maß ca.3,5x3,5m. Gut ist, dass zu diesem Zimmer das kleine ( Waschbecken u. Toilette), einfache Bad gehört. Das Doppelbett gehört unbedingt erneuert. Durchgelegene Matratze unter die ein Brett und Wellpappe geschoben ist, damit man nicht weiter durchhängt, aber sehr hart liegt. Vermieter freundlich und hilfsbereit ansonsten sauber. Tageslicht kommt durch eine Balkontür, die sich nur mit Mühe öffnen und schließen läßt.
Sehr freundliche Gastgeber. Nette altbau Wohnung die sehr zentral liegt. Preis Leistung völlig in Ordnung auch der check in und die Abreise funktionierten einwandfrei. immer wieder gern lg Gabi
Ein absoluter Glückstreffer, es wird sich super um einen gekümmert! Bei allen Fragen oder sonstigen Problemen wird gerne geholfen! Ein wirklich tolles, liebevolles paar.
Das Appartement befindet sich auch in einer super Lage, man hat es nicht sehr weit zu allem sehenswertem!
Sehr empfehlenswert und ich komme immer gerne wieder!
Casa molto grande e accogliente,presenta tutti i vari servizi.
Proprietari molto disponibili,un esperienza unica.
Dolce anche il cane!
Ottimo in tutto

Champ traveled safely for more than 10 days to the country of Slovenia to visit the Križ family. He arrived from Canada and his visit with the Sears family, where he started his journey. He proudly came holding a Canadian hockey flag, which made the Križ family laugh because they are also big hockey fans! Slovenia is situated just right of Italy and below Austria, and it's surrounded by beautiful mountains. It was a perfect destination for Champ's Around the World Adventure!
Champ was visiting 12-year-old Hana, who has special needs. Her sister Neza, 8, also enjoyed him. Also in the Križ family are older sister Sara and mom and dad, Veronika and Robert. The young girls nicknamed Champ Medved, or "Medi," for short, which in their language (Slovene) means bear, which was interesting because Hana is on a lot of medication.
Hana was born in 2000 with the same rare kidney disease (ARPKD) as Quinnlin, but she has had more complications. The day she was born the doctors said she would not survive, but Hana has beaten the odds, many times over. Kidneys remove toxins from the body and when they don't work, toxins are removed through a catheter (a tube) with a process known as dialysis. Hana was on dialysis for seven years until she got an infection and her catheter had to be removed. Miraculously her kidneys started to function well enough for her to live without dialysis. She's still on a lot of medication including injections of growth hormone and she's on a strict, no fun, kidney-friendly diet.
Hana was so sick when she was younger she wasn't able to attend kindergarten. She was six when she entered school and was struggling to read when she was diagnosed with dyslexia. School has been challenging but Hana doesn't give up. Hana's educators didn't really understand the depth of her medical issues until a doctor finally visited the school to discuss how kidney disease can impact a child. It can hurt their concentration, memory and make them unbelievably tired. Kids with compromised kidney function sometimes only have enough energy to go to school, so they aren't usually able to participate in extracurricular activities.
Champ was there for Hana when she had to take medication, when she would check her blood pressure and when she needed a furry friend to snuggle with, which is important for Hana. Hana and Neza have a lot of furry friends, so Champ (Medi!) was easily welcomed into the family. Veronika said that Champ made Hana feel special, which can be hard when the focus is keeping your body from fighting against you. Veronika was very grateful for the distraction of Champ's visit, however short it may have been.
Champ arrived to Slovenia just in time to join the Križ family on vacation for a weeklong break from school. The family – and Champ and Hana's cousins – traveled for five days to Hungary. They visited several sites with Champ and even took him to the U.S. Embassy when Champ was feeling homesick (they could only take a picture in the back of the building because of rules, but Champ didn't mind!).
Hana was so sad to see Champ leave, but Build-A-Bear Workshop had a special delivery of new friends sent to Slovenia as a surprise…maybe we'll get an update soon from their new furry friends!
Thanks to Build-A-Bear Workshop, Champ is making his way around the world to visit families touched by special needs. Already having visited Canada and Slovenia, can you guess what country he is going to next? It's about 1,400 miles from Slovenia and there might just be a Build-A-Bear Workshop an hour away!
How many miles will Champ travel altogether this year? More importantly, how many smiles will he bring on his journey?

Local voters expressed some varied opinions about Wednesday's first of three presidential debates scheduled this month between Republican candidate Mitt Romney and Democratic President Barack Obama.
Jean Erlwein, 89, of Marietta, plans to watch all three debates, and said they were off to a good start on Wednesday night.
"I think they're both making some good points, but we have to put education ahead of other issues first of all," she said.
Article Photos
Erlwein said the country has other needs, too.
"We need good roads and bridges, and all of that also," she said. "And I think if Obama gets a second term he would take care of that-if Congress would work with him. They need to throw out all of the party politics."
Marietta resident Barbara Bradley, 51, said the first debate was interesting, and agreed that both candidates made good points. But she said the debate didn't provide quite enough information for her to make a decision on how she'll vote in November.
Fact Box
What's ahead
The first of three presidential debates between Republican Mitt Romney and Democratic President Barack Obama was held at the University of Denver in Denver, Colo., Wednesday night. The topic was domestic policy.
A vice presidential debate between Republican contender Paul Ryan and Democrat Vice President Joe Biden is slated Oct. 11 from 9 to 10:30 p.m. at Centre College in Danville, Ky. The topic will be domestic and foreign policy.
The second presidential debate will be held Oct. 16, from 9 to 10:30 p.m. at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y. The town meeting format will include foreign and domestic policy.
The final debate is scheduled Oct. 22, from 9 to 10:30 p.m. at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla. The topic will be foreign policy.
"I've always voted with the (Republican) party, but I'm concerned about some issues-more jobs are definitely needed and the economy is a major concern," Bradley said. "I have elderly parents, so I'm also concerned about Medicare and Medicaid. And I want to think about retiring myself, while I'm young enough to enjoy it."
Though she generally sides with the GOP, Bradley said she wasn't crazy about Romney as a candidate.
"But I also think Obama has not delivered on what he promised," she said. "And I don't think we're better off today than we were four years ago."
Bradley said the presidential debates, rather than mainstream media reports, will have bearing on how she votes next month.
"The major media provide too much of a slanted view for me," she said.
Jack Marks, 68, of Fleming is also a registered Republican, but said he takes a more moderate viewpoint and tries to honestly look at both sides of every issue.
"The debate was informative," he said. "I thought Romney was a lot more aggressive. It seemed like President Obama didn't want to attack or offend anybody."
Marks said he felt the president could have refuted some points made against him, but he was too laid back.
"I think that will show up in the polls in coming weeks," he said.
Marks noted Obama had to defend his policies, but Romney has not been real specific about his own plans.
"And the only thing Republicans have been trying to do for last four years is make Obama into a one-term president. How can anyone work with a Congress like that?" he asked.
Cutler resident John Amrine, 64, thought the debate went well.
"I was pretty impressed. I thought Romney spelled out the deficiencies of the Obama administration," he said. "I certainly think Romney came out on top. And I felt president stumbled at times. That may change in the next debate, but I think he was a little gun shy this time."
Amrine said he was particularly interested in the health care discussion between the candidates, and felt Romney effectively outlined problems that exist with the so-called Obamacare program.
"I'm a big 10th Amendment supporter when comes to health care. The states should have a say," Amrine added.
Leslie Haas, who chairs the Washington County Republican Party, was happy with Wednesday's debate.
"I'm ecstatic. I was hoping for a break-even, hold the line, contest, but (Romney) was ready to say what he believed and gave back as good as he got," she said. "And Governor Romney didn't let falsehoods go unrefuted-he said what he believed on health care, economy, tax cuts, and other issues. He did a fantastic job."
Haas said Obama seemed to be shaken by challenges from Romney.
"But the moderator, Jim Lehrer, didn't seem to be in control of the debate at all," she said.
A group of teens and Marietta College students joined the Republicans to watch the debate at the GOP headquarters on Greene Street.
"They seemed very impressed, too," Haas said. "At some points the kids even erupted into cheers."
Haas said she's now looking forward to next week's debate between Democratic Vice President Joe Biden and Republican challenger Congressman Paul Ryan.
"The debate is on my birthday, and is the best birthday present I could receive," she said.
Molly Varner, chair of the Washington County Democratic Party, said some parts of the debate were exasperating.
"In some ways I found it frustrating-Romney was not telling the truth and kept flip-flopping on issues," she said. "And when they began talking about the $716 billion funding in Medicare, the president explained it, but Romney kept coming back to that, in my opinion he was essentially calling the president a liar."
Varner said Romney called the $716 billion a cut in Medicare, but the president explained that money was not being cut-the system would still maintain that money, it would just be redirected to other areas within Medicare.
The president said the changes were part of a plan to extend the life of the Medicare program.
"The president is also making sure fraud is reported and investigated and that best practices are used to determine the best treatments for patients on a case-by-case basis," she said.
Varner said Romney struck her as someone who was simply telling the audience what they wanted to hear.
"And I don't think there was any clear winner-the president had to keep dealing with Romney's interruptions," she said.
Varner, too, believed Lehrer could have done a better job of moderating the debate.
"When we work with candidates in advance of a debate, we always tell them that timing is everything," she said. "And I expect a presidential debate to be conducted with structure that forces candidates to make their answers concise and to the point."

|Making Dreams Come True for Comics and Speakers since 1984
Authenticity Isn't Pretty
I thought he would say something nice back, as I imagined that people in wheelchairs get ignored. Rather than smiling back he sneers at me and says, "What are you looking at? You're going to be here soon. Just like me. It's what's waiting for you."
Ouch! And happy birthday to me.
They say that old people are cranky. Are they? Or, are they just more authentic than the rest of us? Perhaps at a certain age, we give up on the false pleasantries and truly say what we think. After all, isn't authenticity the new buzzword?
The Internet is full of blogs, TED talks, articles, and books that claim to teach people how to be more authentic. Can it be taught? I know one speaker who wrote a book on authenticity that he had ghost written for him. Oh come on!
We all were completely authentic to ourselves at one time as a child. Clear on what we wanted. What happened in our lives that so many of us now need a therapist to remind us of who we are, and what we want?
If we didn't want to please the elusive THEM, how real could we get? Even alone, how many of us can look in the mirror and love what we see?
I spent my childhood pleasing parents and teachers, my 20's being thin and cute for men, my 30's being thin and cute for women, my 40's focused on my career, and now, on this birthday, I'm feeling that I've earned the right to start telling people the truth.
So, I plan on my next trip to the assisted living home to find that man and tell him, "Thank you for being my wake up call. Thank you for reminding me that life is short and how I need to live it authentically. Thank you for reminding me that sooner than later I will be in that wheelchair with some arrogant younger person smiling an insincere smile at me. And I hope that on that day I can truly let the truth rip."
Meanwhile... I hope you liked this blog.

When the guy said that the place is waiting for you, a good response could have been, "And you'll be dead before I even get here. Now, we both have something to look forward to!"
- Dr. Audrey Levy said...
I plan to take myself out before I get there, which probably means not being greedy, and quitting while I'm ahead, because, guess what? He's fucking right! We are ALL going to die, so there's no point in ignoring it. Hopefully, a living will will prevent an unusual event from keeping me alive longer than necessary. I hate the idea of being in assisted living. I'd like it to be legal to assist me right the hell out of here when I'm ready to go!
This Saturday morning I'll be at an improv class, in the afternoon filming final scene for sketch comedy video..in the evening open performance in a play. Staying one step of G-d. Not going to let him find me... As for age, 77 in February, not about to carry that wheel chair in my backpace as I ride my bike around the valley

I love this story. As a Sage-ing Leader with Sage-ing International (a Profound New way of growing older), I find your blog to be particularly interesting. Erik Erikson came up with the different directions (so to speak) that we go through as we age. The last one of his comparisons was Wisdom: Ego Integrity vs. despair. It sounds as if this gentleman was in despair of his situation and his life. How sad that this will probably be his end.
I think you were correct, Judy, in your conclusion. We only get a short time here - how are we going to live it - with joy, good cheer, acceptance - or are we going to become the angry older, disappointed curmudgeon that has become the frightening future of so many? It is a choice - we all have a choice. It starts now - not tomorrow - now.
Thank you,
Judith Auslander, WiseHeartCoaching.com

I love visiting my folks @ their assisted care living home...always so many interesting people. The last time there, I was in the elevator and lovely 80 something all decked and adorned out woman, smiled a big red lipstick smile and asked, "Are you a new tenant here? I sure hope so." How does it get better than that when you're still in your 50's?

While I agree with all you have said about "authenticity" - When I visit my stepmother in the nursing home I find she has no problem speaking her mind. This includes telling someone she doesn't like the way they are dressed or telling someone to shut-up. I have no doubt about the authenticity of her feelings - but I wonder what makes this different than simply having her mind on loudspeaker. A little grace would be nice regardless of its "authenticity".
Just because some rude cranky old man said something stupid doesn't mean everyone needs to spew their emotional vomit everywhere. People who are unhappy resent happy people. It reminds them of how crappy they feel. You can be authentic and polite. I think there are enough nasty, unhappy and ungrateful people already and to promote that kind of behavior is beneath you. You don't need to be a bitch or a people pleaser. You can be yourself without putting other people down. Children don't know any better. You are very cool the way you are. Don't start getting cynical because some stupid old fogey said something lame.
I do not know anyone more authentic than you, Judy.
- mjmapes said...
Love the story ... and love your humor. If you aren't authentic I don't know who is. Telling the truth is different than being cruel - and I don't detect cruelty in you!

Being real...difficult enough in false times that value illusion rather than Worth, but I propose that such is not very integratable into the constant competition or cultural and pscyhological superiority that penetrates American life. Being real gets you dumped to the bottom of the totem pole...fast! Of course it also makes you see beyond totem poles...If worth anything, my offerings to solve this global and basic problem on www.longriderpress.net. Sometimes one can be more real through comedy, drama and satire than in non-media life.
I winced when I read your paragraph about how you spent childhood, then 20's, etc, trying to please.....everyone else....
thanks, I needed to hear that, especially today.
I grew up in an alcoholic family where seeking and finding approval, however fleeting, meant survival....
still working on letting that one go.
Can't wait to work with you some more!

I have thought long and hard about what happens between the carefree time of childhood, where we do what we want, cry because we don't want to do what we don't and generally tell the world how things are, and the adult world, where we are social, civil, PC, do what we are told and put up a facade of happiness independently of what is happening inside. My conclusion is: Puberty. The time where we suddenly give a damn about what others think, learn that if we fail we will be laughed at and develop the desire to please the other (or same) sex, simultaneously cultivating the desire to please everyone else, rather than oneself. Get over the fear of ridicule, failure and rejection and life suddenly becomes a WHOLE lot easier.
Needs to be said more and you did a wonderful job! Thanks!
Aging authentically is more difficult than finding authenticity to begin with. You can't buy it, it takes work and introspection on a level you could call strategic.
The one thing you will find the last thing to die in people as they age are their dreams of fame and fortune.
It drives lottery sales, elusive brags about 'my play' or 'my novel' or my whatever. It's hope against hopelessness.
Living in a doctrinal civilization doesn't help, because with age comes wisdom, and the lies we are told we believe to be true begin to drop away from consciousness in spite of our INdoctrination to hang onto them.
As I always say, "Start with the tooth fairy, if you make it past Santa keep working."
Age brings morbidity consciousness, and it's handmaiden, inevitable awareness we have to accept death. The discomfort that drove this man to bitterness and invective toward you came from the place people come from when they gave up on their dreams for security.
At least the guy had a place to stay, food to eat, people to come to him when he was ill to comfort and care - such as it is in the modern world - many do not. He was willing to forget his blessings because his dreams were farther away than ever, and there was no time left to chase them.
This is why they have an old saying in Hollywood that is true, "Make good art and die broke."
You can't take it with you, but you can leave significance behind. That comes from following your meaning, the core of authenticity.
We all know how big a sacrifice that is considering the statistical reality that three quarters of the people you know right now want nothing to change.
But this is the difference between a meaningful culture and a desiring culture. Its nothing new really, what is new is that we have fewer and fewer reasons to escape becoming authentic because civilization as a whole is wising up.
But, you'll get the whole story in the new book.
On my birthday, I give you Happy many more birthdays, Judy.
