Getting Real About Manifesting
Recently I finished reading the book Siddhartha. It's not the first time I read it. However, it is the first time in many years. It landed with me differently this time, especially as I've been thinking about my views on manifesting.
More on that later…
For now, you may recall that I've begun creating a program on manifestation called "Manifest Your Life." And since I always like to "test the waters" with my content and programs, I'll be writing more about manifestation in upcoming blog posts.
Don't worry, not every message will be about manifesting. I'll change it up. But a lot will be since I am creating the program and it's what's on my mind.
The reason I'll be writing a lot about it is twofold:
(1) Writing helps me get clearer on what I'm teaching. By sharing with you, I am forced to create the program… before I'm actually creating the program. 🙂
(2) I want your feedback. It'll be helpful for me to know what seems to connect with you, what doesn't, and how your experiences and/or techniques may differ (or complement) what i'm sharing.
It's become clear to me that I have a different view of manifestation than a lot of people. This is evident by my writings in "The Law of Attraction Hoax."
As a result, Manifest Your Life will be unlike any other program you've used or bought on the topic. "Manifest Your Life" won't exclude other programs, in fact, it'll leverage their strengths and work parallel to them.
I can imagine people asking lots of different questions about that. Here's one that comes to mind for me…
Will "Manifest Your Life" be the only program that people will ever need to manifest your ideal life?
Absolutely NOT.
Well, sort-of not. It's not really about need.
One of the reasons I share so many different peoples' manifestation programs is because I don't believe any single person has the whole picture. My sense is that a lot of people have a lot of pieces to the maze.
And since you're a unique expression of the Divine, it's perfectly possible that what really works for YOU to manifest is different than what works for me, or for any of the people whose work I recommend.
This was the path Siddhartha initially took. He sought different masters to teach him. Siddhartha found that each of his teachers supported him in different ways. He found the similarities of each path, as well as the differences.
Similar to Siddhartha, when it comes to manifesting there's commonalities in what works. There's no questioning the power of positive thinking, affirmations, and overcoming limiting beliefs. Those are core to manifesting the life that you want. Just like we're both human.
And yet we're different. We can leverage the strengths of other peoples' teachings, but eventually we must find what works for each of us. You and I are uniquely expressed waves of the same ocean.
Similarly, I see each manifesting program or resource also as unique waves in an ocean…
Each one helping me build my own picture of manifesting…
Each one helping me find a nugget of gold to live a more fulfilling life…
Each one helping me break out of the Manifestation Maze.
When we really get right down to it, manifesting is the fundamental nature of who we are. In any moment of any day, we are manifesting. While we give a lot of names, labels, and ideas to manifesting, at it's core manifesting is one thing:
Manifestation is the process of transferring our potential source energy into kinetic energy in the world.
In my next blog post, we'll flash back to high-school physics class and explore this in more detail. 🙂

48th Annual San Blas Marathon Video, 2010
This is my shortest YouTube video to date… 5 minutes, 14 seconds. The first part was shot with a Sony Handycam DCR-SR45. The last half was shot with the VadoHD firmly attached to a telephone pole at about 10 feet up. Since the San Blas 'Half' Marathon runs late into the afternoon, the setting sun messes with part of the video. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did putting it together. Effects were added with Apple's iMovie and edited with FinalCut Express.

From the Road: Coamo to Degetau's Rock, Part 1
As promised, here is Part One of the run from Coamo to the 'Mirador Piedra Degetau' located in Aibonito. It was featured in a previous post.
This is the first 'From the Road' video where I squashed it to double speed with iMovie (then into FinalCut Express to edit). This allows me to include more footage without going over YouTube's 10 minute limit.
Editing HD video from a laptop is very, very time consuming.
This 9 minute, 21 second video is actually 18 minutes, 42 seconds in length. I tried it at 3 times faster, but it was just too intense… it made me dizzy! As always, it was shot with my VadoHD videocam mounted to the roof rack of… Continue reading

On Jan. 28 2012, the Vatican's Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone met the heads of the Roman Curia congregations and discussed with them a document he had sent them in advance, so that everybody could be aware of the topics and could eventually make his own remarks. It would make sense to read that document once again now, when Cardinal Bertone is preparing to step down and his post is going to be taken over by Archbishop Pietro Parolin on Oct. 15.
The 14-page document is full of clarifications on the basis of Church law and good practices. Sometimes the points could be seen as trivialities. But they were not. In that document, Cardinal Bertone underlined the need to...READ MORE

Kevin Colbert called the 2014 NFL draft the deepest in 30 years and now the Pittsburgh Steelers general manager can only hope that his draft reflected that.
The Steelers used their nine selections to address their remaining needs. The top two selections—Ryan Shazier and Stephon Tuitt—helped upgrade the defensive front seven while their fourth- and fifth-round selections—Martavis Bryant and Shaquille Richardson—took care of their two biggest needs.
When all was said and done, the Steelers added four offensive and five defensive players to their roster. The combination of size and speed will make the 2014 draft class an interesting one to watch as its members compete for jobs in training camp.
A strong showing from this class will help put the Steelers back into contention in the AFC North this fall. But will any of these players start come the season opener?
Here is an initial look at the depth chart for the Steelers now that the draft is over.

The Top 5 Nooners: #5. Now That's an Expensive Hat!
This abomination stars a "Dancing Pig" named Pot Belly Pete who talks like a Chipmunk, dances like Michael Jackson and bears absolutely no resemblence to a pig whatsoever. What kind of pig has wings and horns? I'll tell you what kind: a GARGOYLE. But that raises another question: What kind of gargoyle dances around to "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" and talks like a Chipmunk?
I'll tell you what kind: one that LOVES TO PARTY.
This video is plenty terrible, but what's even worse to me is the fact that it's been viewed over 220,000 times. That's like every single person in Akron, Ohio watching it... although that doesn't sound particularly impressive, I guess. How about Madison, Wisconsin? Does that sound better? How about this: That's like every single person in Independence, Missouri watching it... TWICE.
A few years ago we threw off the shackles of corporate television. We called it "social media," and then we smashed the Viacoms and Time Warners to bits. True, the internet has put the power of programming into the hands of viewers, but, sadly, this is what we've chosen to do with it. For shame, internet. For shame.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to throw my laptop out my window and watch Celebrity Rehab or something.

When Karey Dean increasingly found herself receiving a lot of requests for her photography she figured, why not find a site to locate a business?
In November she opened Karey Dean Photography at 2055 Kenwood Ave., Williamsport.
"I don't know if two years ago I saw myself doing this," she said.

City photographer Karey Dean stands next to an example of her work.
It's not that Dean hasn't long loved shooting pictures, but starting and running a full-time business is quite another thing.
Dean specializes in portrait photography and wedding photography. The many photos decorating the walls of her studio are testament to her work.
"I feel very blessed to be doing what I do," she said. "It's an honor for me to capture memories of people."

She said she especially enjoys photographing children, including babies and newborns. She will photograph parties, various other events, and engagement announcements. Dean also offers custom framing with photos.
Like anyone contemplating opening a business, Dean said it took some soul-searching. For several years she had been pursuing photography assignments from out of her home.
"It definitely took a little courage and a lot of prayers, but it felt right," she said.
She likes her studio, with its high ceilings and wood floor, and its setting just off Lycoming Creek Road.
"I think it's a great centralized location," she said.
Dean has received a lot of business through word of mouth. She also advertises on Facebook and her website. While acknowledging that photography is a competitive business, she has high hopes that the business will grow. Loving photography as she does, she's headed in the right direction.
"It was always a passion of mine," she said.

CLEVELAND - Ursuline junior John Tomko was Craig Yaniglos' first student coming out of college.
The two have been talking about reaching the Ohio High School Athletic Association state meet in Canton since the two first met.
Saturday, at the Division II district at Cleveland State University, Tomko notched a pair of fifth-place finishes in the 200-yard freestyle (1:48.16) and in the 500-yard freestyle (4:55.26).
The top two in each event automatically advance to state, but the next top 16 times from each event from the combined districts around the state also move on. Those at-large berths will be announced today.
Yaniglos thinks Tomko could move on in both of those events.
"It's like a dream come true," Yaniglos said. "John Tomko is my first swimmer I coached coming out of college. To see him to this point is totally amazing, from the time he was 10 or 11 years old to now in high school state. Ohio is kind of a fast swimming state, so it's kind of a big honor. It's kind of exciting to make it to Canton. It's all we've been talking about since eighth-grade year."
Tomko's training has been more endurance- and aerobic-based this season, Yaniglos said.
"He went in with a lot more confidence and I think that's definitely helping him achieving a lot of his goal times," Yaniglos said of Tomko, who made his third appearance at districts.
Tomko, who lives in Hubbard, isn't the only one from Eagles' territory that might be going to state.
Hubbard High School junior Joey Spurio was sixth in the 100 butterfly in a time of 54.31 seconds.
"I was really nervous about where I was going to end up in terms of placing," Spurio said. "As (Hubbard coach) Trish (Wirtz) and Craig told me to let it all out and leave it in the pool. Don't hold anything back. That's what I tried to do today."
That performance should get him down to Canton with Tomko.
"I'm really excited about going down there," Spurio said. "I think it will be a really good experience to go to state in my junior year."
Also, Cardinal Mooney senior Joe Boniface was the area's only automatic qualifier with a second-place finish in the 50 freestyle (21.68). He should make it in the 100 backstroke (sixth, 54.86) as well.
Canfield sophomore Daniel Bogan may go to state in the 100 freestyle (sixth, 48.52) and 200 freestyle (third, 48.52).
The Cardinals' 400 freestyle relay (fourth, 3:18.49), 200 freestyle relay (fourth, 1:29.77) and freshman Connor Brady in the 100 butterfly (fifth, 54.26) should advance as at-larges.
Youngstown Christian junior Mikayla Morrow was fifth in the girls 100 breaststroke.
As for those area swimmers from Penguin Swimming, they had some high marks as well.
Lakeview's Nicholas Preston (200 and 500 freestyle) and Grand Valley's Joey Ray (50 and 100 freestyle) both had lifetime bests, while Howland's Brandon Sekanick had an eighth-place finish in the 100 breaststroke.
"The three of them did very, very well," Penguin Swimming assistant coach Frank Supancic said.
Friday, in Division I, Howland swimmers, freshman Aimee Gysegem was seventh in the 500 freestyle (5:13.55) and ninth in the 200 freestyle (1:57.14). Senior Helena Kontos was 15th in the 50 freestyle (24.95) and 16th in the 100 freestyle (55.13).
"She was the only ninth grade girl on the podium for the 500 free, so that speaks volumes of her commitment of trying to get better at this sport," Supancic said of Gysegem.
Even if none of those area swimmers are represented next week at state, Supancic said it was still a successful season.
"There's an old saying, 'Swimming doesn't build character, it reveals character,'" Supancic said. "I think we found out a lot about ourselves this weekend at the district meet. In most cases, it was very positive.
"Taking it to state meet is good, but trying to get there is harder. That's the pressure of the district meet. There's no excuses. There's no luck. Either you're on it or you're not on it. If nobody makes it to the state meet, I don't take that as a dark mark against us. We have something to build on. We're a year more experienced, a year wiser and hopefully it will be reflective where some of these kids make it to the state meet."
As for Tomko, he'll try to get a little faster for Canton.
"He went a little bit faster this week," Yaniglos said. "It's kind of 50/50, but I think he can definitely go a little faster next week. In none of his events, yet, he's had nice time drops. There's still some hope out there that his yardage is still up and his training is still high, so there's some room to improve the next couple of days to see if he can drop time next week."

LANSING -- With no agreement on a tax increase to balance the state budget, the Republican-led Senate narrowly approved bills Tuesday aimed at slowing the employee health costs of K-12 schools and local governments.
"There's got to be an end to this paralysis," Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop, R-Rochester, said with less than a month before state government's fiscal year starts Oct. 1.
Republicans hoped the measure, one of their key cost-saving proposals, would break the stalemate over higher taxes and prompt a response from Democrats who control the House. The GOP wants any tax increase proposal to originate in the House. The state faces a potential government shutdown if a deal is not reached.
"A shutdown is unacceptable," said Bishop, who wants to reduce government spending before allowing a vote on higher taxes.
The legislation, which passed 20-18, would not be mandatory but would let schools and local governments pool their workers' health coverage and require public employers to competitively solicit bids for health benefits.
The measure could save hundreds of millions of dollars a year but is controversial because it would open up the claims data of an insurer affiliated with the powerful Michigan Education Association, the state's largest teachers' union.

MILLBURY - "It's a dream come true," said Taylor Graboski.
"It's the best moment of my life," added Ceidyer Neiderkohr.
Article Photos
The Upper Sandusky volleyball players described their emotions in many different ways, but after Saturday, there's only one way to describe the Rams: Regional champions.
In the Division III regional championship at Millbury, Upper Sandusky won a five-game thriller against Coldwater, 27-25, 21-25, 25-18, 20-25, 15-10, sending the Rams to the state semifinals.
"Its the first time it's ever happened. It hasn't sunk in yet," said Upper Sandusky coach Matthew McConnaughey. "It feels amazing. I'm glad the girls lived up to their potential and fought through some adversity. It's a great feeling, great win for us."
The Rams have already rewritten the school's record books, becoming the first team to make it to regionals. But, the final chapter hasn't been written yet as they are one of the four teams left in the hunt for a Division III state championship.
Upper Sandusky - ranked No. 6 in the state in the final coaches poll - will play No. 3 Versailles at noon Friday in a state semifinal at Wright State University in Fairborn.
"There aren't even words for how I feel right now," said setter Emma Smith. "I'm sure my team feels the same way. We're really thankful for this."
"It's feel amazing. We're the first team from our school ever to go," added Jessi Holly.
Jessi's sister Jenna said that was a factor in driving the team to get the win Saturday.
"We've never been anywhere past district semifinals," she said. "We had an opportunity to go as far as we could. That's why I thought we did so good, because we kept pushing and pushing, and to try and do better and get as far as we can, cause we knew we could do it."
After a back-and-forth afternoon, the teams stood even at two games with one game to 15 to decide who would move on.
"I think we all knew what we had to do," Graboski said of the mood before the team took the floor for the deciding game. "We were excited. We were so close with a game to 15. I think it just overcame us and we all played our guts out and it turned out in our favor."
It was only the third time this year Upper Sandusky has gone five games. The first was a regular season match against Buckeye Central that propelled the Rams to the North Central Conference championship. The second was last Saturday's district championship match against Mohawk.
"That's what I stressed in the huddle before we got on the floor," McConnaughey said. "Buckeye Central. Mohawk. You came out and sticked them right in the mouth. That's what you have to do. You have to attack at the beginning and we did that again."
Upper Sandusky held an early 4-3 advantage. But then the Rams went on a run that likely landed them in the Final Four. Maddie Bianchi hit the service line and the points quickly piled up. Before Coldwater could respond, the lead escalated to 11-3.
"I felt good about that because I missed so many serves in the beginning. It felt good to get that back with so many big serves," Bianchi said. "I was really feeling good about that game. We really took off in a good lead."
Kalene Johnson had nine kills on the afternoon, three of which came in the opening stages of the fifth game.
"We can't do anything without passing though," she said. "Our passing was great. Everybody was working hard to make everything work."
Coldwater didn't fold the tent, though. The Cavaliers rallied to get within 12-9, causing the Rams to sweat it out.
"The crowd was getting their money's worth, that's for sure," Graboski said. "Those are the games you want to play in because, you can just feel everything in you makes you want to keep going and finish the game out."
For Upper Sandusky's Ali Roeder, it was a matter of staying mentally focused, and knowing her team could close out the match.
"I never really get too discouraged, because I know we can go out and if we want something we can get it," she said. "I feel like we're so mentally strong, we can do anything, get anywhere we want."
The teams exchanged points, then Jessi Holly got a crucial kill to set up championship-point, which Coldwater never was able to return back over the net.
"We have so many people on our team that are a big part of it," McConnaughey said. "We have many ways we can score. So they came through. It worked out in the end.
The jubilation on Upper Sandusky's side of the floor was contrasted on Coldwater's side as the Cavaliers closed their season with a 23-4 record.
"It's disappointing because we didn't give them a fight in the fifth game," said Coldwater coach Mike Etzler. "We gave them freeball, after freeball, after downball. You can't do that against a team like that. They ate it up. We dug ourselves too much of a hole . We fought ... but it was way too late. You can't get down like that. We didn't give ourselves a fighting chance in that fifth game."
The match opened with a classic first game as each team fought to get the upper hand. The game was tied and 17 points with the lead changing hands seven times. Each team fought off a game-point but a back-row kill from Graboski kicked off three-straight Upper Sandusky points to end the game and give the Rams the early match lead.
"At this point in the season, for me this match was about who wanted it more, who could work through adversity," McConnaughey said. "Nobody's perfect; everybody's going to make mistakes. Overall we pulled through it and did it again."
Graboski put down 22 kills to lead Upper Sandusky. Jessi Holly added 14 and Molly Owens chipped in 11.
Holly said it was a challenge at times, getting around Coldwater's front row.
"I just had to hit around their block, hit my angles, tip over them," she said. "They're a great blocking team."
Owens added that a big reason why the offense is successful is the play of the back-row and the setter, Emma Smith, who set up the hitters for their attacks.
"I love my back row and setter," Owens said. "I can't believe some of the balls they get up. I'm so excited. I'm proud to be a part of a team thats this well-rounded and this talented."
Owens didn't specify any particular instance of a back-row player making any save, but she, like everyone else in the gym, had to be in awe of one save Neiderkohr made late in the first game.
Scrambling to save a ball from hitting the ground, Neiderkohr already was on the ground and had only one thing she could do: kick at it. She punted the ball back over the net in play. Even though Upper Sandusky went on to lose the point, the play provided an early spark.
"I don't know; it was just the first thing that came to my head," she said. "I just slid for it and I had to kick at it. I just was hoping it'd go over."
A year from now, Graboski will be suiting up for Valparaiso, smashing balls at a Division I college level. But arguably the best player in Upper Sandusky isn't ready to hang up the orange and black just yet. She isn't ready to wake up from a dream season.
"I hope not," she said. "I hope that we can take it all the way but we have to do it one game at a time. Started out with 198 teams, now there's just four. We have try to outwork and do whatever we can in our power to do our best and that's all we can ask for."

Mayor Aaron Montz and City Council look to have a damaged bridge fixed before winter.
The bridge on Riverside Drive, in front of the F.O.E., has a hole in it. Montz said while it is safe for vehicles to drive on, it could pose a danger to pedestrians.
Montz said the city needs to act quickly to repair the bridge because the hole could worsen in winter weather. The bridge repair would cost about $50,000, according to estimates Montz has received from city engineer Curtis Eagle, who has already spoken to three companies about the repair.
"There is definitely a concern there, for safety, especially since we at the city know about it," Montz said. "It's really something we shouldn't say 'We'll wait until next spring, when the asphalt companies open.' It's something that really shouldn't wait that long until that long. It will only get worse; we need to get it taken care of for everyone's safety."
A large metal plate with an orange barrel on top of it covers the hole right now.
The bridge project will be the main topic of discussion at the next council meeting Oct. 15, when an ordinance on the bridge is expected to be addressed.
An inspection of the Rebecca Street bridge is planned in November.
"The bridge is definitely at the end of its lifespan," Montz said. "It's bad. It's really bad."This bridge will not be repaired immediately because it would cost about $300,000 to replace, which Montz said is not affordable at this time.
The bridge is likely to have a reduced load limit next year. And the city will look at replacing the bridge the following year.
In other discussion at the meeting, Councilman Jim Roberts voiced strong displeasure with the new intersection at Greenfield and East Market streets.
"I don't know what I was expecting, but I am vastly disappointed with what we wound up with," Roberts said. "It's ugly signage, it's ugly paint on the street and it's a more dangerous crossing I think."
Councilmen Tyler Shuff and Mark Hayes echoed Roberts' sentiments. Shuff said he has received complaints from people who think the intersection is not safe.
"Visually, the signage is just clutter," Hayes said.
Councilman Rich Cline said he did not think the new intersection was that bad. And Council President Paul Elchert said that he does not think it was that bad of a project, but he does think there is some confusion with the new directions.
In other news, Dave Smith of Brewer-Garrett spoke to the council about an energy conservation project.
A finance committee meeting was held prior to the council meeting Monday night. The main topic of discussion was pending legislation on Internet cafes.

A Canyon Country woman was treated at a hospital for a laceration to her hand suffered in an assault Sunday morning, a local sheriff's sergeant said.
By Sunday evening, deputies of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station were still investigating the circumstances surrounding the attack.
"It was a woman, her boyfriend and an ex-girlfriend. They got into a tussle. Now, she's being medically treated at (Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial) hospital," said Sgt. Rich Nagler of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station.
"It's minor injuries, a cut to the hand."
About 11:30 a.m., paramedics of the Los Angeles County Fire Department were called to a location, east of Sand Canyon Road.
They notified sheriff's deputies shortly after assessing the victim.
Deputies were dispatched to the hospital where they interviewed the victim.

Corporation undertakes effort to market K2 property on Vashon
K2 Sports has begun actively marketing its 180,000-square-foot former manufacturing site on Vashon now that a lawsuit over its zoning change from industrial to commercial has ended in K2's favor.
Two entities are in conversation with K2 Sports about purchasing the property, according to Robert Marcovitch, president of K2 Sports. And the company's real estate broker, Art Wahl of CB Richard Ellis in Seattle, plans to have it listed on Internet sites that have an international reach within weeks.
"The frank reality is that the economy is turning around, and I believe that someone will own this property sooner or later," Marcovitch said.
The 18-acre parcel is listed at $3 million.
"It's a great location. It's a great property. We think we have it priced properly," he added.
Wahl had been holding back on marketing the site until a lawsuit over its zoning status had been resolved. Last June, Islander Tom Bangasser sued K2, King County, the Island's community council and other entities over the county's decision to rezone the property — a move that some contended was made without sufficient notice to the Vashon community.
In October, King County Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Ramsdell dismissed Bangasser's suit. A month later, he denied Bangasser's motion that the case be reconsidered. The 30-day window for an appeal has since closed.
Bangasser could not be reached for comment.
Marcovitch said the lawsuit proved "a huge distraction" that cost K2 a lot of money. He also said it undermined an effort by Dick Sontgerath and Truman O'Brien to develop the site into K2 Commons, a quasi-community center that the two men hoped would house the Vashon Health Center, an athletic club, office space, a restaurant, a hotel and other facilities.
The lawsuit, Marcovitch said, scared away some of K2 Commons' investors, backers Sontgerath and O'Brien needed to purchase the property and begin developing it.
"There were real people with real money who frankly felt, 'Oh boy, were in for some protracted battle with local citizens.' ... Nobody wants to deal with that," Marcovitch said.
According to Sontgerath, K2 Commons remains viable, and he and O'Brien are still working on the development. "Truman and I are continuing to talk to K2 to see if we can make a mutually agreeable deal," he said, declining to elaborate.
Marcovitch and Wahl concurred, saying they too believe Sontgerath and O'Brien's redevelopment plans remain a possibility. But the dispute over the property's rezone was not the only issue that undermined the effort, they noted. The two developers also lost much-needed upfront cash when the King County Library System decided not to purchase a corner of the property for a new library branch, Wahl said.
"The library was the cash cow in the deal," he said. KCLS's decision to not move the Vashon branch to K2, he added, "made their job much more difficult; it did not make it impossible."
Even so, Marcovitch said, he can no longer sit on a property that is costing K2 "six figures" a year to keep it secure while it stands empty. Other corporate owners might have put razor wire around the property and walked away, he added. He has chosen not to do that, in part because it would not reflect well on K2 and its long history on the Island. At the same time, he said, he and Wahl need to work hard to try to get the building sold.
"It's not that I'm impatient at this point. But I do need to get this done. I'm not in the real estate business," Marcovitch said.
K2 Sports was recently purchased by the Jarden Corp. Asked if K2's corporate parent is putting pressure on Marcovitch to find a buyer soon, he said it was not. But, he added, "I feel pressure from my fiduciary responsibility to turn this asset into cash."
In a lengthy interview, Marcovitch at times expressed frustration with Vashon, a community that he said surprised him with its unhappiness about both the rezone and K2 Commons.
"We really wanted to see the right thing happen," Marcovitch said, adding that he was "elated" when Sontgerath came forward with his ideas for the structure.
"Unfortunately, there were some who felt that due process had not taken place, and we've had two years of very expensive legal wrangling," he said.
"We certainly anticipated there would be local concerns. ... I did not anticipate it would be as protracted an exercise as it was," he added.
As the company looks for another buyer, Marcovitch said, he's open "to every possibility." At the same time, he added, "We want to do something that will have a positive glow on the K2 history and brand. That's first and foremost in my mind."

Music video post
It took us about five cuts to get the video to a place where I felt we had tried everything that we could and it was finished. This is called "locking picture."
The next step is working on the color. You do this at the end so that you only have to spend time color-correcting the pieces of the shots that are actually used in the video.
It just so happened that the best colorist in the city, Sam Daley at Technicolor, was available and David and I went in for half a day. I was going for a '90s vibe and Sam took that to the next level. He pumped the greens and crushed the blacks. (Honestly, that's so much of an understatement it's impossible to express just how much control he has over each individual color. It's more like painting than anything else.)
He gave us back a ProRes file, which we took back into Final Cut Pro. We had a few effects (a binocular matte and some overlays on a TV screen) to put back on.
The band member who had recorded and mastered the album helped me fix a part in the song where I had looped the bridge to make more time for story. He pulled all the instruments out and added them back, one at a time, so that the whole thing built in a more natural way.
This video was made for YouTube, so we did some tests of sizes and qualities that would look the best. We opted for a simple 1280x720 H264 file. (H264 is a small compression that is excellent for viewing things but not good for editing.)
I sent it off to the band a few hours ago and it's going live this week. It's really very amazing that this little thing that started as an idea in my head has now grown up to be something new and exciting. It's about to go off and have a new life of its own.
Good luck, little video. Don't take any guff from anyone.

Grand Liberty Tour, Two Public Performances at Culver Academies
Saturday, April 21, 2012
Recent star of Cavalia (2008-11) Sylvia Zerbini will be bringing her Arabian horses and "Grand Liberty Tour" to the Vaughn Equestrian Center on the campus of Culver Academies April 21-22 for two performances.Zerbini and her horses will perform in the Jud Little Riding Hall at 7:30 p.m. April 21 (Saturday) and at 3:30 p.m. on April 22 (Sunday). Tickets are available by calling the Academies' Eppley Auditorium Box Office at (574) 842-7058. General admission tickets are $10, with a limited number of reserved seats priced at $15. Performances by Zerbini and her 10 Arabians, a third of them stallions, showcase the heart-and-soul of liberty work. "At liberty" (loose) is a captivating style of horsemanship in which the trainer directs horses much like a conductor leading an orchestra. More than just an exhibition, Zerbini will also explain how she does it.

The sexy teen movies are those which aren't too scandalous to become porn but wouldn't also be for general patronage either. These movies often depict issues that teens are experiencing, with puberty and all. The Sexiest Teenage Movies of all time are the following:
- Coyote Ugly (2000)
- Step Up (2006)
- Wild Things (1998)
- Cruel Intentions (1999)
- Thirteen (2003)
- The Girl Next Door (2004)
- Weird Science (1985)
- Havoc (2005)
- American Pie (1999)
- American Beauty (1999)
COYOTE UGLY stars Piper Perabo and Adam Garcia with a supporting role by Tyra Banks and is about an aspiring songwriter who leaves her small-town home for New York City in hopes of starting a music career. But life in the city is harder than she imagined. She hears about a job opening at a bar called Coyote Ugly and there she becomes a bartender. When Violet arrives for work she is hit by a wall of throbbing music and howling men. Two women are atop the bar, pulling a customer back over it, pulling up his shirt, and pouring beer on his chest. Coyote Ugly, a sexy teen movie, has more to do with hot, sexy women dancing on a bar in a wet T-shirt contest.
Step Up is another sexy teen movie about Tyler Gage (Channing Tatum) who is a product of a foster care system. A penchant for petty crime lands him doing community service at the Maryland School of Art. While serving out his hours as an assistant janitor, he crosses paths with Nora (Jenna Dewan), a dance student. Her senior performance piece has hit the rocks and desperation drives her to take on Tyler as a partner. At first her traditional dance style and his street moves grate against each other. With a little understanding, they blend their styles into a whole new dance routine. The result is one hot dance number.
One of those films for which the phrase 'guilty pleasure' was invented, WILD THINGS is about a seemingly virtuous high school guidance counselor, Sam Lombardo (Matt Dillon), who is accused of raping students, Kelly (Denise Richards) and Suzie (Neve Campbell). Ken Bowden (Bill Murray), an oddball attorney, and Detective Ray Duquette (Kevin Bacon) come to Lombardo's aid, unraveling a much larger blackmail scheme. Richards and Campbell sizzle on the screen as they tease, seduce, and entrap. Lying somewhere between black comedy and psycho thriller, WILD THINGS is an unclassifiable, unforgettable original which deserves to be put in the sexiest teenage movie list.
CRUEL INTENTIONS shows a wealthy prep school student Kathryn (Sarah Michelle Gellar) who bets her stepbrother Sebastian (Ryan Phillipe) that he can't deflower the virginal Annette (Reese Witherspoon) before the school year begins. If he fails to accomplish this task, Kathryn gets his Jaguar Roadster; if he succeeds, he gets an evening of pleasure with Kathryn. However, he fell in love with Annette. One of the classic sexiest teenage movies, Cruel Intentions is the dirtiest-minded American movie in recent memory and an honestly corrupt entertaining picture.
THIRTEEN portrays teenage girls at their very worst. Mean, manipulative, conniving, and utterly out of control, these skinny, sexy, drug-addicted. Evan Rachel Wood portrays a shy girl and good student who approaches Nikki Reed, the school's ultra-popular bad girl. From there she spirals downward, copying Evie's every move in an aggressive game of daring each other to take increasingly dangerous risks--stealing, getting piercings, experimenting with sex, drinking and taking drugs. THIRTEEN is told with a hysteria usually reserved for sex-ed films, righteously included in the sexiest teenage movies..
THE GIRL NEXT DOOR is a sex-soaked sexy teen movie that actually has a heart. High school graduation is nearing for senior class president Matt Kidman (Emile Hirsch), who has been more concerned with getting into college than partying. That changes one night when the gorgeous Danielle (Elisha Cuthbert) arrives next door. Before the two can consummate their relationship, he finds out that she is a porn star All the while, he must continue to rehearse an incredibly important speech that could earn him a scholarship. But Matt must also win the heart of Danielle. The Girl Next Door is an adolescent fantasy for bookish boys who must also contend with their hormones. This is their outlet. Let the boy next door dream.
WEIRD SCIENCE tells of a story about teenage geeks played by Anthony Michael Hall Ilan Mitchell-Smith, who are sick of being ignored by girls, abused by cool guys, and forced to spend their weekend nights watching nerdy old sci-fi movies. They used a computer to create Lisa (Kelly LeBrock), a stunningly beautiful woman with a body that stops traffic, a heart of gold, and a genius IQ. The boys embark on an adventure with their creation. But in the end, they learn that wearing cool clothes, hanging out with cool kids, and being popular might not solve all their problems. Weird Science is a hormonally driven juvenile dribble which explores some playful male adolescent fantasies and one of the sexiest teenage movies.
HAVOC stars Anne Hathaway as Allison, a rich teenager who runs riot in Los Angeles after a mixture of boredom and rebellion which leads her to a likeminded gang with trouble in mind. One fateful night causes Allison and her friend Emily (Bijou Phillips) to seek out the tough Latino guy Hector (Freddy Rodriguez), whom Allison falls for. But Hector's dangerous lifestyle is like nothing Allison has ever experienced, and she soon finds herself deep in an unfamiliar world that she struggles to escape from.
Havoc feels like a cautionary after-school movie spiced up with sex and violence and also is one of the favorites to be included in the sexiest teenage movies of all time.
AMERICAN PIE is a riotous and raunchy exploration of the most eagerly anticipated-and most humiliating-rite of adulthood, known as Losing One's Virginity. It will always come to mind whenever the sexiest teenage movie of all time is talked about. A group of friends, fed up with their reputations as sexual no-hitters, decide to take action. Hopelessly inexperienced but fueled by hormones raging full-tilt, the guys each try a different but equally outrageous approach to scoring with the female sex. The girls are just as anxious-but are also confused, as they romanticize and idealize what is basically just pure physical attraction. The end result is an honest and affectionate look at a time in all of our lives when we try our hardest to hold on to our dignity ... and end up failing miserably. American pie features Jason Biggs, Eugene Levy, Shannon Elizabeth, Alyson Hannigan, Thomas Ian Nicholas Tara Reid, Chris Klein, Mena Suvari Eddie Kay Thomas, Natasha Lyonne, and Seann W. Scott. American Pie is the usual assortment of sex gags and bathroom jokes.
AMERICAN BEAUTY tells the story of a suburban father (Kevin Spacey) who snaps when he becomes disgusted with his stale, repetitive existence. He quits his job and begins a regression into young adulthood, lifting weights, smoking pot, doing nothing, and discovering the overflowing sexuality of his 16-year-old daughter's best friend, Angela (Mena Suvari). His wife has her own midlife crisis of sorts. She experiences a youthful awakening when Peter Gallagher seduces her repeatedly. Meanwhile, Jane (Thora Birch), the Burnhams' daughter, is pursued by Ricky (Wes Bentley), the mysterious boy next door who carries a video camera around with him at all times. American Beauty is a dark, intelligent, scandalous, emotional, and truthful film, another one of those included in the sexiest teenage movie of all time.

Biology textbooks and bird-watching field guides, as well as numerous scientific bird names, will have to be changed, according to the Early Bird Project, an international research project centered at the Field Museum in Chicago that has focused on the phylogenetic study of birds for more than five years.
For the research project, funded by the Tree-of-Life Research Program, scientists from a number of institutions built and analyzed sets of data of more than 32 kilobases of nuclear DNA sequences from different locations on the DNA of each of the 169 bird species. The results of the project, published in Science magazine on June 27, 2008, suggested a number of new and even controversial connections between bird species.
For one, the project suggested that falcons are actually closer relatives to parrots than hawks and eagles, as was the original thought. The results also yielded a very close relationship between parrots and songbirds.
"One of the big questions of our study was, 'What are the closest relatives to songbirds?'" said Sushma Reddy, one of three leading authors of the study and Bucksbaum Postdoctoral Fellow at the Field Museum. "Using [the DNA sequence data], we were able to conclude that parrots are the closest relatives to songbirds. As far as we know, our study is the first to propose this link."
Reddy adds that follow-up studies on the relationships among bird species, including parrots and songbirds, are in the works.
Despite the initial skepticism surrounding the project, Reddy and her fellow authors "are confident in our results because we analyzed them in different ways and using different gene-sets, and [we] still got similar results," Reddy said.
"Unlike other studies," said Rebecca Kimball, another leading author of the study and associate professor of zoology at the University of Florida at Gainesville, "we consistently found several well-supported, deep divisions within Neoaves (a basal division of birds that includes 95 percent of all living birds), and this signal was persistent across analyses."
"Our study yielded robust results," said Shannon Hackett, the third leading author of the study and associate curator of birds at the Field Museum, "and [it] illustrates the power of collecting genome-scale data to reconstruct difficult evolutionary trees."
In addition to Reddy, Kimball and Hackett, the study was also co-written by scientists at the Smithsonian Institute, the University of California at Berkeley, Louisiana State University, Stellenbosch University in South Africa, the University of New Mexico, Wayne State University and the University of Maryland. The study is part of "Assembling the Tree of Life," a federally funded effort that focuses on tracing the evolutionary lines of all living creatures. Bird enthusiasts across the world will notice the impact of the Early Bird Project, which Reddy believes will be significant. The convention-challenging results will especially rock the boat in the science world.
"Because our study presents a very different view of avian evolutionary history (than traditionally held), we think the impact will be deep," Reddy said. "And as so often happens, our study brings up as many questions as it answers, so we expect many follow-up studies that will build on our results."

EDITOR UPDATE (7/13): Now that FourSquare has passed 2 million users and many more people are familiar with location-based services, it is worth another look at Kipp's thoughts on B2B applications of these programs.
We are just getting started in 2010 and aside from gadget announcements from CES, the subject with the biggest amount of buzz on the web has been location-based social networking applications. Much of this buzz was created, when one of the leaders in the space, FourSquare announced that it was opening up its platform to all cities around the world. With all of this buzz, it begs the question, do these location-based networks have use cases for B2B companies?
The short answer is yes, they do. The first round of businesses that will begin to leverage these location-based applications will be local establishments like coffee shops, restaurants, gyms and other types of consumer-based small businesses. The application of services like FourSquare for them is pretty straight forward. For these businesses FourSquare acts like a public loyalty program. A quick look at the page for a business location shows who goes there and with what frequency.
How do located-based platforms benefit niche B2B companies? I can think of three cases in which they may work in the future, as these applications and the technology that supports it grows.
Making The Case For Location-Based In B2B
1. Adding A Valuable Layer To CRM – Location-based applications like FourSquare are the precursor to enterprise level location-based applications. As location-based technology begins to work its way into the enterprise, one of the key uses will be to manage sales teams and add richer data to CRM platforms. B2B companies will have private location-based networks for their sales staff. Using the GPS functionality in most smartphones used by sales staff, smart sales teams will automate locations of sales visits into the CRM system for a more accurate log of sales and nurturing activity. Additionally, it will make it easier for executives to change a sales person's schedule to go talk with a "hot lead" because they will be able to do it on physical proximity in near real-time.
2. Identifying Prospects and Facilitating Lead Generation – Any good sales and marketing team for a B2B company has a profile of what their customers are like, or customer personas. They have an idea about their personality, what motivates them, the types of activities they like to do. A significant part of who a person is, are the places they go and the people they spend time with. If you are in the business of selling software to engineers, then you can find the places in your sales area that engineers are likely to frequent and use location-based applications as a way to connect with them.
3. Tradeshow and Event Marketing – For many B2B companies tradeshows and other business events are all about lead generation. This lead generation has traditionally been conducted through giving away prizes or electronic RSVP information where data is collected. Location-based applications provide a new level of lead generation at events. Location-based applications would allow for more prospect information gathering and real-time offers and discounts pushed to attendees. Imagine you just announced a new product at a press conference, wouldn't it by powerful to send a special discount for that product only to those people who were physically in that room for the announcement? Checking in on a location-based platform would be their application for the discount.
Are location-based applications going to see rapid B2B adoption in 2010? It is unlikely. Conversely though, they should not be immediately dismissed without thoughts to the potential application they have towards business objectives.
What are your thoughts on location-based applications? Do they have a place in B2B?

Alan Keslian was a Gay Liberation Front activist in London in the 1970s, among other things setting up West London GLF and organising gay dances attended by hundreds in Fulham Town Hall.
He has experienced and benefited from the huge change in attitudes towards Gay men and Lesbians in England and elsewhere during recent decades. During his teenage years, in the UK any sex between men was a crime, whereas now civil partnership offers a legal status on a par with marriage, and discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation is increasingly outlawed. This transformation has huge implications for gay relationships, and his motive in wrhttp://www.tumblr.com/dashboard/search/keslianiting is to explore the impact of this new freedom and portray its effects. His first novel, Goodmans Hotel, was published in 2003. His second, a more humorous book, Closer Than Breathing - A Light Gay Odyssey - came out in 2009. He believes his readers' time is valuable, and tries hard not to waste it.
He lives with his partner in West London, and is a member of GALHA, the UK based Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association.

Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., is doing some last-minute bargaining in attempts to settle his ethics case.
It could help the veteran House member avoid an embarrassing ethics trial, scheduled to start Thursday.
House Ethics Committee Chairman Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., told The Associated Press that secret talks are being held between Rangel's attorney and the staff of the committee.
Rangel's fellow Democrats have been distancing themselves from him in recent days. Some have returned campaign money raised by Rangel and a few have called on him to resign. The ranking congressman faces tax-related violations that have not been disclosed yet.
Rangel had vowed to fight the charges, but a settlement would mean he must agree that he committed some kind of misconduct.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told reporters Tuesday, "I think everybody would like to have it go away in the sense that this is not a pleasant process."

The CETP I405V polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease.
|Publication Type
|Journal Article
|Yu, L., Shulman JM, Chibnik L., Leurgans S., Schneider JA, De Jager PL, and Bennett DA
|The cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene plays an essential role in regulating cholesterol homeostasis and is a candidate susceptibility gene for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recent finding suggests that the CETP I405V polymorphism (rs5882) is associated with a slower rate of memory decline and a lower risk of incident dementia. Using data from two ongoing epidemiologic clinical-pathologic cohort studies of aging and dementia in the United States, the Religious Order Study and the Memory and Aging Project, we evaluated the association of the CETP I405V polymorphism (rs5882) with cognitive decline and risk of incident AD in more than 1300 participants of European ancestry. Our results suggest that the CETP I405V polymorphism was associated with a faster rather than a slower rate of decline in cognition over time, and an increased risk of incident AD. This finding is consistent with data showing that the CETP I405V is associated with increased neuritic plaque density at autopsy.

Lepido-DB is a centralized bioinformatic resource that was first developed to facilitate the comparative genomics of two major lepidopteran pests, the noctuid moths Helicoverpa armigera and Spodoptera frugiperda, by the analyzis of syntenic relationships and genome rearrangements of 15 couple of BACs sequences and their corresponding colinear regions extracted from 10 Bombyx mori chromosomes (table 1).
In this context, Lepido-DB Information System was designed to store, organize, display and distribute various genomic data and annotations of the three species. For instance, we supplied Lepido-DB with the KAIKOGAAS automatic annotations, the comparisons to insects proteomes and UniProt, the alignments of transcript sequences retrieved from the INRA's SpodoBase, CSIRO or NCBI, the REPET pipeline's transposable elements predictions, or results of different cross-comparisons process to emphasize conserved regions and orthologous genes.
Beside a blast search and a full text search facilities,the system was constructed using open source software tools from the Generic Model Organism Database (GMOD) including a Chado database, Gbrowse a simple but rapid genome browser, CMAP a graphical tool which facilitates the navigation within multiple maps or genome sequences, Apollo, a application for the manual curation.

ON JUNE 12, 2010, while dropping a friend off at his house in Logan, I was pulled over by two uniformed Philadelphia police officers.
Although the stop made no sense to me - I had literally done nothing but let a friend out of the car and proceeded to the next stop sign - I used survival tactics that many black people are trained to use when pulled over by a police officer.
As the patrolmen approached me with their hands gripping their guns, their anxiety was contagious. Still, I remembered to keep both hands on the steering wheel, answer all questions and make no sudden movements.

January 26, 2008
This note describes the implementation of the hypothetical monopolist ssnip test for market definition in the context of merger cases where firms produce multiple differentiated products. The test developed here represents an extension and generalization of the Katz-Shapiro and O'Brien-Wickelgren market definition test for the case of multi-product firms. We present and explain this test with an illustrative example. In the Appendix, we provide a more general and technical description of the test.

Featured Musician - November 2007
Name : Andrew Oliver
Instrument : piano, trumpet, composer/arranger.
Early years/Education : Started on piano at age three at a Yamaha music school, so I had ear training before I actually learned how to read music. I'm a big advocate of ear training, it really helps you if you want to play jazz. The first music I played was classical, but by age fourteen I became interested in early jazz and ragtime. My mom called up the Jazz Society to ask for names of teachers, and I chose Randy Porter. Went to Centrum (jazz workshop) in 2001, and there I met John Singer, a bass player, who recommended me to Ben Medler for the newly formed Portland Youth Jazz Orchestra. This group was in its first year and provided me with my first gigs. It also enabled me to meet a lot of other jazz players my own age that I still play with . I owe a lot to Ben Medler for creating PYJO. For college I went to Loyola University in New Orleans to major in Music and Philosophy. When Hurricane Katrina hit, I came home to Portland , so I was at Loyola for three years. I just graduated from Portland State University in June in Jazz Performance and French.
Bands: With the Andrew Oliver Sextet I'm on piano; Dan Duval guitar and composition; Mary Sue Tobin soprano, alto saxophones and clarinet; Willie Matheis tenor saxophone; Eric Gruber bass; Kevin Van Geem drums and composition. I'm in Devin Phillip's New Orleans Straight Ahead. When Katrina hit and I evacuated home to Portland , I started studying with Darrell Grant at PSU, and he suggested I meet Devin, who also came up after the hurricane. Devin also has a big band called the Oregon Jazz Orchestra which I'm involved with. Tenor player Gus Stayton and I started a big band called the Portland Composer's Orchestra. Our first gig will be in January at the Hollywood Piano Store. It's another vehicle for composition. I'm part of the Komenk Ethnic dance and Music Ensemble. We toured France and Poland in 2005 and 2007. I play trumpet in the Krebsic Ortkestar, an 11-piece brass band that plays Serbian gypsy music. I also play and compose for Sounds for the Organization of Society, a New Orleans-based large ensemble.
State Department Tour : We recently flew to New York to audition for the jazz ambassadors program organized by Jazz at Lincoln Center and the State Department. They're sending six jazz and three urban music groups out all over the world. We'll be touring West Africa starting in November. I hope to use my French and learn more about the music of Mali in particular.
Teaching : As part of the Devin Phillips Quartet I work at the Fernwood Middle School teaching jazz through the after-school program called Schools Uniting Neighborhoods.
Musical Influences : First and foremost is Jelly Roll Morton.To me he's the most innovative in jazz history simply because of his ability to blend influences of all the different music that was in New Orleans in the 1920's and synthesize them into a distinctive style, plus his rhythmic concept was far ahead of almost anyone else at the time except for Louis Armstrong. I really like Bud Powell and Wynton Kelly. Compositionally, Wayne Shorter; more recently John Hollenbeck, Dave Douglas; Duke Ellington; Tomasz Stanko; James P. Johnson; Brad Mehldau; Jaki Byard; Oscar Peterson; and James Booker. Also, I've recently been listening to the music of Mali . A lot of it seems simple, but it has great depth. I like Malian guitarist Ali Farka Toure.
Most satisfying experience : The most fun I've ever had on a gig was at the Crystal Ballroom with the Portland Jazz Orchestra in 2002. Everyone was swing dancing and having a good time. It was also the first time I'd played before a big audience. Another was playing with trumpeter Maurice Brown at the Portland Jazz Festival last year -- he brings a lot of energy. Learning lots of music by ear from Bulgarian musicians was a fun cultural exchange. Writing music and then hearing it performed is always satisfying. For example, I got to arrange all the music for the Oregon Jazz Orchestra last weekend in an all-Gershwin program. Also, during the jazz festival I played at the Blue Monk with my band, the Andrew Oliver Sextet, to a packed house.
Favorite Recordings : Alan Jones Unsafe; Jelly Roll Morton's 1926 RCA Victor Recordings and the Library of Congress Recordings, 1939-1940; Louis Armstrong's Hot Five and Hot Seven; the recordings of Benny Goodman's sextet w/Charlie Christian; early Dizzy Gillespie with Charlie Parker, Groovin' High; Bud Powell's Blue Note recordings; Wynton Kelly, Kelly at Midnight; Wes Montgomery's Smokin' at the Half Note; Wayne Shorter, The Soothsayer; Andrew Hill, Point of Departure; Oscar Peterson Trio; McCoy Tyner, The Real McCoy; Ahmad Jamal, Live at the Pershing; Brad Mehldau, Art of the Trio, Vol. 4; all the recordings of the Claudia Quartet, especially Semi-Formal; Keith Jarrett, Belonging, and Jarrett/Garbarek Personal Mountains; Louis Sclavis, Carnet De Routes; Sonny Sharrock, Ask the Ages; Ali Farka Toure/Toumani Diabate In the Heart of the Moon; Salif Keita Mbemba; Oliver Mtukudzi; The Meters; James Booker's New Orleans Piano Live; anything by Tom Waitts and singer Joanna Newsom.
Discography : A self-produced CD, Standing Still Mountain (2005), mainly with New Orleans players; India and Africa (2006), a self-produced recording featuring musicians from Loyola University . There's a tune from each player; available from CD Baby. I'm with Devin Phillips on his Wade in the Water (2006) CD. Also in 2006 I did a recording with the group Sound for the Organization of Society. Coming in March, 2008, I'll have a release on Diatic Records, called Otis Stomp, the first release for the Andrew Oliver Sextet.
Gigs : November 4, Andrew Oliver Sextet at the Someday Lounge; November 16, Krebsic Orkestar at Imbibe. November 17-December 17, Rhythm Road tour with New Orleans Straight Ahead, designed to foster cultural exchange in those parts of the world with limited access to American culture. We'll travel to five countries in West Africa , performing and conducting jazz classes. I hope to interact with local musicians.
Future Plans : I hope in the next few years to be able to work in other cities on the West Coast. For now I love Portland .
