John Spackman
Associate Professor of Philosophy
Monday 1:45-3:00; Thursday 1:00-2:30; and by appointment
Twilight Hall 309
John Spackman earned his M.A. and Ph.D. in philosophy from Yale University. He also has an M.A. in Religion from Columbia University, where he focused on Buddhist philosophy and religion, and he received his B.A. in philosophy from Grinnell College. His primary teaching and research interests are in the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of language, the philosophy of religion, and aesthetics. He regularly teaches courses in all of these areas, including PHIL 0252 Philosophy of Mind, PHIL 0360 Consciousness, PHIL 0354 Philosophy of Language, PHIL 0232 Philosophy of Religion, and PHIL 0232 Aesthetics.
The focus of Professor Spackman's current research is on the relation between experience and language, and in particular on recent debates about whether various types of experience should be viewed as conceptual or non-conceptual - as mediated by concepts, or as independent of concepts. He is currently working on several articles specifically about whether everyday visual experience is conceptual or nonconceptual, but he is also interested in this question as it concerns religious experience and aesthetic experience. A background interest for these questions concerns the nature of concepts themselves, specifically whether and how they are structured, and what this structure implies about the categorization of experience. He also has a special research interest in Buddhist philosophy, and in particular on Buddhist perspectives on the relations between mind, language, and reality.

FYSE1133 - Faith and Reason ▲
Faith and Reason
In this seminar we will explore perennial and contemporary questions in the philosophy of religion: Is there a God? Are objective proofs of God possible, or is religious belief founded on subjective feelings? What is faith? The modern period has been a time of unprecedented crisis for religion, and we will focus in particular on these challenges and responses to them. Is religion, as Freud thought, just wish-fulfillment? Is religious belief compatible with science? Can any religion claim to be the true religion in a pluralistic world? Authors read will include St. Augustine, St. Anselm, Kant, Kierkegaard, James, Freud, and contemporary philosophers. 3 hrs. sem. CW PHL

PHIL0151 - Intro Phil: Mortal Question ▲
Introduction to Philosophy: Mortal Questions
This course is an issue-based introduction to core philosophical questions such as the following: What is the nature of reality, and can we ever know it? What is the relation between mind and body, and could computers ever think? What is the nature of the self? Do humans have free will? Is there such a thing as an objective right and wrong? Can we say God exists in the face of all the evil in the world? Readings will be drawn from both traditional philosophers (e.g., Descartes, Hume, Locke, Russell) and contemporary reflections on the issues (e.g., Nagel, Searle, Williams). Cannot be taken by students with credit for PHIL 0150. 3 hrs. lect./1 hr. disc. EUR PHL
Fall 2012, Fall 2013, Fall 2014, Fall 2016
PHIL0232 / RELI0232 - Philosophy of Religion
Philosophy of Religion
In the first part of this course we will focus on philosophical reflections on the existence of God, the relation between religion and morality, the existence of evil, arguments for and against religious belief, and religious experience. We will read texts by Pascal, Hume, Kant, Kierkegaard, William James, and Freud. In the second part we will focus on the place of religion in society, considering what it means to live in a secular society, the relation between secularism and modernity, and the resulting modern forms of religious experience and practice. 3 hrs. lect. CW PHL
Fall 2012, Spring 2015
PHIL0233 - Aesthetics
In this course we will investigate the nature of art and aesthetic experience through readings from historical and contemporary philosophers and artists. Is art essentially rational or non-rational, and can it offer a deeper insight into reality than discursive knowledge can? What is beauty, and is it essential to art? What is the relation between art and the ethical, the social, and the political? We will consider both influential traditional theories of art such as those of Plato, Aristotle, Kant, and Nietzsche, and more recent modern and postmodern critiques of traditional views. Readings will also include works by artists such as Van Gogh and Kandinsky. ART EUR PHL
Spring 2013
PHIL0352 - Philosophy Of Mind
Philosophy of Mind
What is the nature of the mind, and how does it relate to the body and the physical world? Could computers ever think? Do animals have mental and emotional lives? This course will explore several of the major recent philosophical conceptions of the mind. A central focus will be on evaluating various attempts to explain the mind in purely physical terms, including the project of artificial intelligence (AI). Can these theories give us a complete understanding of the mind? Other key questions will include: What is the nature of thought, and how is it capable of representing the world? What is consciousness, and can it be explained physically? 3 hrs. lect./1 hr. disc. PHL
Spring 2013, Spring 2014, Spring 2015
PHIL0354 / LNGT0354 - Philosophy of Language
Philosophy of Language
Speaking a language is a complex form of behavior that plays a rich and varied role in human life. The philosophy of language seeks to give a philosophical account of this phenomenon, focusing on such questions as: How does language gain meaning? How does it differ from animal communication? Is language in some sense innate? Other topics to be addressed include: theories of reference and truth; the relation between language, thought, and reality; and theories of metaphor. Readings from philosophers and linguists will include works by Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, Chomsky, and Pinker. (Previous course in philosophy or waiver; PHIL 0180 is also strongly recommended)3 hrs lect. PHL
Spring 2014
PHIL0360 - Consciousness
In this course we will focus on recent philosophical issues in the study of consciousness: What is the nature of our conscious subjective experience? What is the function of conscious states? Can we find neural correlates of consciousness, and if so, can consciousness simply be reduced to them? If not, how does consciousness relate to the physical? Is there something irreducible about the qualitative features of consciousness (qualia)? Could computers ever be conscious? Are animals conscious? We will consider such questions through the writings of contemporary philosophers and neuroscientists such as Dennett, Chalmers, Churchland, Nagel, Damasio, and Searle. (PHIL 0352 is strongly recommended but not required). 3 hrs. lect. PHL

true Nacho this isn't Rios vs Alvarado or Guerrero vs Berto. But it would be nice to see that type of war. IMO Pac gets all his power from flying in throwing all his weight on his left hand, he avoids getting hit by jumping back out or to one side its great footwork and technique to do that but that's why he's a one handed fighter, unless you got power and balance on both sides you won't be able to do that with your non dominate hand. Everyone Pac has fought is always destroyed on the right side of their face, even Marquez its hard to keep avoiding those flying punches. Since Pac has gotten slower these days his opponents are able to avoid that left a little more easily but he still has good enough footwork to avoid getting hit repeatedly but we'll see this time around

Any idiot on here who says JMM has run whatsoever against Manny is a know true boxing novice or a Pac loving idiot. Either way, you have no place posting on here because you know nothing. What has made me sad over the years is that I used to be a big Roach & Manny fan actually...and as years went by and I have seen the sport load up with idiotic, bandwagon, maniacal Pac fans and all the blind worshipping of Pac and Roach, it made me loathe them. Not to mention that I will never believe Pac has not been on PED's at least for some period in the last 5 years. If Manny wins by KO, fine, respect and he deserves it. However, my heart and gut tell me JMM is going to work him over even better than the last fight. In 24/7 JMM looks more solid, more focused and looks like hes hitting harder and just as fast as Pac. I really think Pac is in deep **** this time. JMM will most likely be robbed yet again but I pray he gets the win that he deserves so much. Also, Pac better be careful because he is not looking great these days and Rios is waiting in the wings. Say what you want about Rios but hes a beast and I think Pac and his camp better be concerned about being put in the ring with him.

Downtown Portland got dumped with snow Friday. Well, Pioneer Courthouse Square anyway.
Yes, it's the end of May. But the 60 tons of snow that landed in Portland's "living room" didn't fall from the sky. It arrived by dump truck from the slopes of Mount Hood.
The organizers of the Cricket Wireless Campus Rail Jam snowboarding championship paid about $2,500 to have six dump trucks haul snow down from the mountain.
Joseph Rose of The Oregonian was in the square to catch the dumping, shoveling and boarding.

Ernest J. LeGrand Sr. ran a small general store and gas station on Route 19 in Sheakleyville, Mercer County, PA, for a number of years in the 20s and 30s. This store, which burned down a couple of years ago, was later run by Cecilia Bertha May LeGrand's family, and was known as May's Store until it burned in early 2002. Cecelia, also ran a beauty shop for a time in the same building as the store.
The LeGrands later moved on to Franklin, Venango County, PA. Ernest Sr., Cecelia, and Ernest Jr. all died in Franklin and are buried at Sunset Hill Memorial Gardens there.

Hardest drinking game in the world. Take a shot every time Pierre McGuire creams his pants over a Crosby replay. Last one to go into liver failure before the end of the 1st period wins.

Their two biggest draws, eh? Would you like to know the two biggest fanbases in the league?
1. The Maple Leafs
2. The Red Wings
Yeah, two traditional fan bases that are going to be there regardless.
Would you like to know the players with the top two positions in jersey sales?
1. Crosby
2. Ovechkin
It's all about money and marketing and those two are going to bring in more new fans than either the Leafs or the Wings. Simple marketing 101. The band wagon hockey fans could give a rat's ass about tradition....they want whats hot in the here and now. THAT is what the NHL is banking on by giving the Winter Classic Pittsburgh/Washington.
Posted 28 July 2010 - 07:19 PM
Philly/Boston was poor in ratings compared to Wings/Hawks. Boston/Montreal would have been HUGE.
I don't get why they don't market the Canadian teams vs the American teams. Case in point, the Us Vs Canada World Juniors and Olypmics had more people watch then any of the WC. Get the Canadians involved.
Vancouver/Colorado is a great idea, as someone mentioned. Only Edmonton/Calgary and Toronto/Ottawa should play each other from Canada, and they'd probably bring in more ratings in Canada AND America then Boston/Philly did.

Vancouver/Colorado is a great idea, as someone mentioned.
A great idea for who??? The major markets of the East Coast would snore, much like I'm sure the West Coast did for Boston/Philly. A Crosby/Ovechkin match-up has the ability to draw in the casual fans and their credit cards worldwide. So for the NHL, this is the smartest move whether we like it or not.

I don't see how you could like hockey and not be somewhat interested in how a match-up between Ovechkin/Semin would fare against Crosby/Malkin. That is an exciting game... interested in how a game unfolds between two highly skilled teams.
Usually I'm traveling home to Bellingham from Detroit on New Years Day, (had to tape Det vs Chi) but not this year. I'll probably go for a mountain bike ride (3hrs) or an enduro ride (6-8hrs). I'll probably tape the game so I can watch it some time when I'm on the ellyptical trainer. I'm certainly not going to schedule my day around it.
I'll be way more interested in the Pitt vs Wash match up than any of the other matchups mentoned on this thread. While I am a diehard Wings fan, I am a casual NHL fan at best. I have much better things to do than watch Pheonix vs Dallas, or Vancouver vs Colorado. And I know my dad would rather watch a bowl game between Pottersville and Iron Mountain than either of those matchups. I am an example of one big demographic the NHL wants to pull in with the WC: the casual fan that they hope is doing family time and could be enticed to watch if the match up is appealing enough.
My inlaws are big sports fans but not hockey fans except for the fact that my wife was playing on one of my beer league teams with me; they are fans of that. They don't know hockey, don't know Nick Lidstrom, Stevie Y, Drew Doughty, or Zdeno Chara, and wouldn't pick up a remote control during a football game commercial to check on a game that any of those guys are in.
But they know Sidney Crosby, even though he plays for a team 3,000 miles from them. They know he never wanted to be in that picture again, and wasn't. They know he is the youngest captain to win the Stanley Cup. They know he scored the Gold Medal winning goal agianst the US. And they actually know that he is getting the better of Alex Ovechkin in their rivalry for control over the NHL. They know that they are watching somebody special when they are watching Crosby vs Ovie (not saying any of this is accurate, just saying what they [i]know[/i beacause ESPN says so). Most important, they want to feel like they know that they are watching something special. Thats the key to television. They like to read about stars and watch stars. They want heroes and villians. They like to read about what a good humanitarian Angelina Jolie is, what a bad guy Mel Gibson is, they like to watch Dancing with the Stars. They like to argue about Kobie and LeBron. The don't even know that Minnesota's team is named the Wild. They are another big demographic the NHL is targeting with this game. They'll check it out for sure. Heck, they'll watch Crosby and Ovechkin and then I'll have to fein more interest than I actually have when they are excited to tell me all about it.
It's not about the sellout crowd of 70,000; it's about the tv ratings and you need a draw for that. s***, I can't even think of one Minnesota player off the top of my head, I'm not watching them, my car needs washing.

I agree that NBC's love for Cindy is really annoying. But I'm not gonna boycot an exciting game between two good teams just because Crosby happens to be out on the ice. Plus, you can just do what I do; root on Washington and hope they stomp the Pens.
It's not about NBC's love for 87... it's that 87 and his team are back in the winter classic over so many other teams whom haven't had a chance.

Hopefully the attendance is 5,000 and the NHL makes no money and gets no ratings.The NHL Winter Classic has officially been ruined.Well,it was fun while it lasted.Until the NHL features two teams that haven't had a chance to participate in one before,i will never watch an NHL Winter Classic game again.
Because there's something really classic about playing on a frozen pond in Florida.

By Laura Spencer • Sep 2, 2016 Julie Denesha / KCUR 89.3 More than 20 years ago, in 1994, philanthropist Muriel McBrien Kauffman started talking about a vision for a performing arts center in Kansas City.

You would think that there would be plenty of classic pea coat patterns out there, but if so I'm missing them. I have a wool herringbone fabric and think it would make a good peacoat. Something like this:
I found a couple old threads asking this same question. There was one New Look pattern that could be a starting point, although it is definitely not a classic pea coat. Everything else mentioned were either magazine patterns (which won't do me much good since I don't have those issues) or out of print.
Any that you know about?
Thank you.
------With a great wardrobe that's still in the flat-fabric stage.
------the barefoot seamstress ..... smelling vaguely of lavender and mothballs, and desperately craving chocolate.
Wellington, New Zealand
I'm interested in a woman's pattern (although the men's pattern linked is very nice.
The Onion pattern is PERFECT, exactly a classic pea-coat style. (That Simplicity is pretty good also; surprised I missed that one!)
Thank you all very much for your responses. I really appreciate it. And given that I found two older (& with unavailable patterns) 'looking for a pea coat' threads, I bet others will also appreciate it.
------Sewing is my therapy!
Oh yes, view B of 2311 is basically a long classic peacoat!
Now really, I looked EVERYWHERE for a pattern. I don't know how you people do it. I swear patterns hide when they know you are looking for them.

Getting the incentives right.

Public access to rivers, lakes, and streams seems like a good idea in the abstract. Why not allow access to anyone who wants to enjoy the recreational opportunities associated with water?

Casey Anthony claims she's broke - and has no book or movie deals - as she appears publicly for the first time since being cleared of killing Caylee
- 26-year-old claims she has been living off the kindness of strangers since she was found not guilty of killing her toddler daughter
- Had not been seen in public since acquittal two years ago
- Filed for bankruptcy with $792,000 worth of debts and just $1,000 assets
Casey Anthony today admitted that she has no job, no money and no buyers for her story as she appeared in public for the first time since she was cleared of killing her toddler daughter nearly two years ago.
Speaking at a bankruptcy hearing in Tampa, Florida the 26-year-old said she is not receiving any money in book and TV deals, and is living on the kindness of her former lawyer and strangers.
She bemoaned the fact that she's unemployed and has not received any income in the months since her acquittal in the murder of her daughter Caylee, who was found dead in 2008.
Scroll down for video
Delayed decision: A judge will take 30 days to decide whether Casey Anthony's bankruptcy trustee can sell her story to pay off some of her debts
Broke: Anthony testified that she has no money and is living off of donations at her bankruptcy hearing in March
Out of hiding: She appeared in public for the first time since she was cleared of murder charges in the death of her daughter Caylee at her initial bankruptcy hearing last month
In the public eye: Casey Anthony's lawyer Cheney Mason keeps his arm around his client as they arrive at her bankruptcy hearing in Tampa, Florida
Help: Anthony's loyal supporters, including Melissa, believe she's innocent and some have been sending her cash and gifts
Instead, she's been getting by on unsolicited gift cards and donations, and funds given to her by her former attorney, Jose Baez.
After the meeting, she was escorted out of the courthouse by a U.S. Marshal.
Upon her arrival this morning, Anthony was joined by attorney Cheney Mason, who shielded her from the crowd of reporters and photographers that swarmed her as she emerged from an SUV.
Anthony - dressed in a black skirt and jacket with a white shirt underneath - wore large sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat.
She was wearing black leggings when she arrived at court, but her legs were bare when she came out.
Her stylish wardrobe, done-up hair and painted nails, were a far cry from the frumpy sweaters and button-down shirts she donned during her heavily watched murder trial in 2011.
Arrival: Anthony shielded her face behind a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses as she made her way into court on Monday
Seen: Anthony appeared in public for the first time since she was acquitted in the murder of her daughter
Paparazzi: Anthony was swarmed by reporters and photographers at the hearing
She has also ditched the short blonde hair that she sported in an online video posted on YouTube
There have been numerous reported sightings of Anthony, but she has largely stayed in hiding due to her notorious public profile, and little is known about where she was or what she's been doing.
She filed for bankruptcy in January, claiming she was $792,000 in debt and had assets of just $1,000.
Court documents show that Anthony is currently unemployed and has no income to speak of.
Her court appearance in Tampa today is a meeting with creditors which is the first step in hammering out a bankruptcy settlement.
Back off: The 26-year-old was expected to make millions off book deals, movies and TV shows after she was acquitted of Caylee's murder in 2011, but the big-money contracts never materialized
New legal saga: Her court appearance in Tampa was a meeting with creditors which is the first step in hammering out a bankruptcy settlement
Woman in black: Anthony is a defendant in several civil suits, including one brought by Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez for defamation in Orange County, Florida
The 26-year-old expected to make millions off book deals, movies and TV shows after she was acquitted of Caylee's murder in 2011, but the big-money contracts never materialized.
Her listed debts include $500,000 for attorney fees and costs for her criminal defense lawyer during the trial, Jose Baez; $145,660 for the Orange County Sheriff's office for a judgment covering investigative fees and costs related to the case; $68,540 for the Internal Revenue Service for back taxes, interest and penalties; and $61,505 for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for court costs.
The filling also states that she is a defendant in several civil suits, including one brought by Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez for defamation in Orange County, Florida.
Ms Gonzalez claims she was damaged by Anthony telling detectives that a baby sitter by the same name kidnapped Caylee.
Media swarm: Reporters and photographers lined up to catch the first glimpse of Anthony as the SUV carrying her pulls up
The detectives were investigating the
2008 disappearance of the girl, who later was found dead.
Anthony's attorney said details offered by Anthony did not match Ms Gonzalez and clearly showed Anthony wasn't talking about her.
Anthony lists about 80 creditors in the 60-page court filing.
The claims largely cover fees for legal, medical, psychiatric and forensics consulting or services. But one claim covers a debt for scuba diving services.
The aim of seeking Chapter 7
bankruptcy protection is to be discharged of existing debts to get a
fresh financial start.
A trustee may have the right to take possession of and sell non-exempt property and use the sale proceeds to pay creditors, but Anthony lists little in the way of assets.
Bankrupt: Casey Anthony, in July 2011, smiles after she was acquitted in the 2008 death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee
Lost: Caylee, pictured, with her mother, went missing in June 2008 and her body was found in December
A debtor may still be held responsible for some obligations, such as taxes and student loans. Persons found to have committed 'certain kinds of improper conduct' can also be denied bankruptcy protection.
The filing came on the same day that a Florida appellate court set aside two of the four convictions she faced for lying to detectives during the investigation into her missing daughter.
Though Anthony was acquitted of killing Caylee, jurors convicted her of four counts of lying to detectives, and her attorneys appealed those convictions.
Anthony was sentenced to time served for the misdemeanors.
She was sentenced to a year of probation after her release from jail for an unrelated case.
In debt: Casey Anthony owes her Attorney Jose Baez (left, in July 2011) for representing her in her highly publicized murder trial
For her protection, her whereabouts have been kept secret since she was released from state supervision last year.
Anthony became nationally notorious after she was accused of murdering Caylee, whose body was found six months after she went missing in June 2008.
Suspicion fell on the girl's mother because she did not report her daughter missing for a month and was seen at the time partying.
She was arrested and put on trial for Caylee's murder, but in July 2011 was acquitted of the killing.
Due to the high profile of the trial and the opprobrium which Anthony attracted from some members of the public, her location has been a carefully guarded secret since her acquittal.
She has been the subject of a string of rumors supported by leaked photographs and videos, but her current activities and whereabouts are largely unknown.
Where have you been? Casey Anthony's life in hiding
Anthony's location has been kept under wraps since she was whisked away
by attorneys following her acquittal in 2011, but numerous sightings
and rumors have been reported.
In January, a couple of never-before-seen pictures showed her reading a book by a beach and posing with the legal team that helped secure her acquittal.
In December, a woman purported to be Anthony was seen at Flanigan's Sea Food Bar & Grill in Lake Worth, Florida, enjoying a basket of hot wings.
Chill time: Anthony takes a break with a book on the beach as she says declaring herself bankrupt is 'the next step towards closure for me'
Is it her? A woman reported to be Casey Anthony was seen eating out at a steakhouse in Lake Worth, Florida, on Friday. Gossip Extra was the first to report the possible sighting
Last year, an Ohio news station mistakenly identified Anthony as the suspect in a hit-and-run at an area library.
Several months after her acquittal, Anthony appeared in a bizarre video diary leaked to YouTube.
Her lawyers later said that the video was illegally obtained before it was posted on the video-sharing site.
A video of a woman believed to be Anthony was also obtained by TMZ, which showed her sipping a Starbucks coffee and shopping for dresses in Ohio.
In hiding: Anthony appeared in this bizarre online video that was posted months after her acquittal, sporting short blonde hair and glasses
In an interview with Piers Morgan in
June 2012, she Anthony revealed that she spends her time reading the
Hunger Games books, watching vintage comedies and 'is not 500 pounds,'
despite previous reports to the contrary.
She also denied that she has plans to move to Costa Rica when she's legally allowed to leave Florida.
She denied killing her daughter to the CNN host, but said she was 'ashamed' of who she was.

VMware Unity Touch
VMware Unity Touch is software that provides a touch screen user interface (UI) for smartphones or tablets running Windows from a virtual machine (VM). It is likely that VMware Unity Touch gets its name from Unity, a VMware Workstation feature that makes a virtualized application behave as if it is running natively on its host machine.

On Saturday morning, I set out with my cycling group to ride at 5:15. The sky was overcast and a bit foggy and the wind was gusting at 35 mph, but the temperature was perfect, the wind was blowing only in one direction (which meant on the way home it'd be at our backs), and it wasn't threatening to rain until well after we'd finish our ride.
We had a great ride going south, even though it was directly into that wind, and we were all talking about the Bears season and how each of our businesses are faring going into the fourth quarter.
Then it started to pour, but I hiked Pike's Peak in snow and ice, I certainly wasn't scared by a little rain. And it was a warm rain so it wasn't too bad, despite how filthy I was getting. I was in the middle of the pack and we came upon some joggers. I was at Roger's tire in front of me and I wanted to get around the joggers before I hit a huge puddle that would inevitably splash water in their faces.
As I crossed the bike path to pass them, I sped up in order to avoid the puddle so I wouldn't splash them. But my back tire got stuck in the crack in the middle of the path and, because the pavement was wet, I couldn't recover.
It actually happened so quickly that I didn't even have time for my life to flash before my eyes. Roger told me the only reason he turned around was he heard the joggers scream and my helmet crack.
I'm okay, but sliding down wet pavement at 22 mph has left me pretty banged up on my entire right side. So much so that I can't put on pants because my leg is so swollen (guess I'll be in skirts all week). And I hit my head so hard that I cracked my helmet in half. It did its job, but it made me think.
What if I'd hit my head wrong and the helmet didn't do its job? What if I'd broken something? What if I'd slid into the road and into an oncoming car? What if I'd ended up in a coma? Worse, what if I'd died?
What happens to the busines then?
I have a succession plan in mind, but it's for 40 years from now, not tomorrow. What happens in an emergency?
And then I read Jay Goltz's blog that had a similar tone. Apparently I'm not alone in freaking out that the business doesn't have an emergency plan.
He says:
Every year I review my three-page disaster plan which details all of my insurance, banking, passwords, keys, and I include my best guess as to what the options are for successors, buyers, or liquidation.
I make a list of people that I would want my family to use as advisers (and some I would not!). I explain what I would want to do for certain employees if the business is sold or closed. And I include a "get out of guilt free" card that tells my family to move on and not get entangled in any "he would want this or that" strangleholds.
All of these are great ideas and I'm going to add them to my own disaster plan. But I'd like to think the business would continue without me, especially if I do my job right in shaping my staff to become CEOs.
By Dec. 18, 2009 I will:
* Have my emergency plan written.
* Create opportunities for every one of my colleagues to be able to take over my duties (speaking engagements, keynotes, social media training, media training, crisis communication, panel discussions, social media for Arment Dietrich, marketing the agency, driving toward the vision, client development, and being the rainmaker) should something happen to me.
* Have discussions with my executive team, and put our decisions in writing, so that my family doesn't have to grapple with whether or not to sell the business and how to take care of my colleagues.
Now, other than decide on who gets my shoes, what else should I include?

Omg! I'm glad to hear you're ok, but that must've been a nasty fall. Hope you recover quickly!
Best wishes from your friends in Brazil. Two lessons that I take away. One is the need for the plan, right on!
The other ,though, is sometimes in business and in life it´s better to Slow Down than Speed Up . Life and business are full of puddles and cracks are everywhere.
But don´t give up the bike!
So sorry about your accident. Just think if you hadn't been in good physical shape, that leg may be broken instead of just swollen. Although I know you well enough to know you'll get right back on the horse again, try to take it easy. Use this quasi-down time to get started on your self-imposed tasks! Take care, Susan
Gini! I had no idea. But you never cease to amaze me (and many others). As Randy just said: Only you would take a near-fatal fall and write a blog about it THE NEXT DAY. Unbelievable.
And what is the blog about? How to look after your business if something happens to you. Also, did not miss the fact that you were being considerate of the joggers when you tried to avoid the puddle. That's so you, Gini.
Loved the advice from Paul Segreto and Tom Reaoch, too.
Rest up, my friend. Maybe some ocean water will make you feel better?
I am so sorry to hear about your accident, but I am glad you are okay.
PS The rest of the blog was good as well, definitely something we all need to think about.
Gini, wow what a story. Good to see you used good decision making at critical points; NEVER go cheap on headgear! That said, I agree with your Brazilian friends, sometimes slow down, don't speed up. Your concern for everyone, the joggers, the folks at AD the guy in China who built the bike, and whoever else…… make you special. Write your plan, grow your people into positions then sit down and have a glass of wine, pet the dog and watch the sun go down. Do something for yourself!

So Evil? When can we expect to see you jump some cars, or something?
I have also plans in place for emergency's during natural disasters or even man made disasters. Living in the Houston area and suffering through power outages, communication gaps etc also create a reason to think through some of the issues that may create client problems during those types of emergencies as well.
Also, helps to have these same types of processes in place for your personal/home life as well!
Get back on your bike!!!
Gini —
This is scary on so many levels! I'm glad you're okay … and that you saw this potentially disastrous incident as an opportunity. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes for a speedy recovery!
We all know who gets the shoes!!
This has been such a good day full of love and sympathy from all of my friends…even my darling sister-in-law who clearly has already claimed the shoes!
I don't know how I'm going to top this blog post tomorrow, but rest assured it won't be by accident.
Reading my dear friend @ginidietrich's awesome post on succession/disaster planning in business. A must read. http://tinyurl.com/ldwoap

I hope you're feeling better!

I'm trying to insert a tile going by a tutorial I found (
) about inserting tilesets. The main problem I am having is setting the transparent colour. At the start it says:
"Set your transparent color before anything
. From experience, a palette chooses your transparent color based on the first color to actually be set in the image." I have tried this time and time again on paint and on photoshop and it simply does not work. The transparent colour always ends up being black on the color pallet viewer.
Now I searched the thread and one person pointed out that you can open the color pallet in photoshop and switch the colours around to set your transparent colour. But when I try it it's impossible to switch the colours around and changing them changes the colours in the actual image itself.
Not that any of that matters because when I save the pallet as a .pal file (advance map rejects .act files for some reason) and then view the pallet in there the transparent colour seems to be a completely random colour on the pallet. Not black and not the colour that I've chosen for the transparent colour.
I've been trying to find a solution for this for the past two hours and I'm at my wit's end, can anybody help?
I'm currently working on a large-scale and long-term pokemon forum RPG. If you would like to help or be notified when it's ready, please drop me a PM or a visitor message. All are welcome.

Truly a horrible thing...this, along with the port arthur massacre here in Australia, are two of the worst massacres that are popularly known (in modern times)
Jack Thompson has actually already blamed video games...
Truely a sad day...and from what I've read the police that were on campus should have actually done something rather than leave him walk free for two hour, I mean for gods sake you don't keep all the students on campus after theres been a shooting!

Can you introduce yourself?
My name is Romain Lallement, I'm 27, I'm author, composer and performer.
My solo project is called Lenparrot. Amongst my other projects, I have been keyboardist for three and a half years and for Raphael D'Hervez and his solo project, 'Pégase'. I'm also the singer of 'Rhum for Pauline', the band with which I started 9 years ago.
The 28 years old Moroccan photographer, Btihal Remli (currently based in Cologne, Germany) about her series "The Prayer"
Tell us more about this image and your series "It's Spring and I'm Alone" ?
One a weekday morning I was waiting for the train to go to work. I decided to walk to the other end of the station and came upon this random cake, barely touched and completely left alone from the night before. There was a beautiful light from sun rise, so I took the picture, as I felt there was something lonely and discarded about a Happy Birthday cake.
A few months later I uploaded the picture to social media, and a good friend called me. She told me that the cake had been given to her by a patient at the pharmacy that she works at. This patient had a bit of a crush on her and this gift was a bit too much, she didn't want it. She left it at her work place and when she returned from her lunch break it had gone. Until I took a photo of it.
More generally, my series is about the feeling of abandonment and isolation – how they form and consume and give way. On my girlfriend's birthday she flew away from Australia and I was upset, pissed off and forced to be alone. At the same time Spring was starting and colours were becoming beautiful and people were happy and alive. So in many ways those things made me feel worse – that the world was waking up and joyful, but that I felt like a funeral.
Towards the end of the series the images are more happy and playful, as my period of isolation was ending – after 5 months I left to join my girlfriend overseas.

I dont hardly use covered call writing but i bought this when it was at 7.20 so today i wrote the sept 9's for .65
so now my cost basis is down to 6.55 by the time september o/o comes around
with UVXY still below that evenright now , if it goes to say 5.00 in sept then i will write more calls to bring down the basis even more say i write the calls at the same type of premium of that would be say .40 now my cost baises is 6.15 ect...
sooner or later if you keep doing this doesnt your cost basis get to 0? or low enough that you will soon be at or below the current price, then at that point sell the stock at the next bounce?
anouther words if you are in a losing postion can you just keep writing calls until you bring your basis so low that you will actually make $$ even if the stock does go down as your cost basis can be 0 and you still write calls?
i know this suffers from contango most of the time but my thought is i dont want to sell and take a loss only to see it go up again, i dont need this money for a long time so why not just let it sit writing calls on it until it gets to be a break even or even make me money.
I know that can take a while but would it work? the logic say yes
am i right?
the idea is sound. I would have sold the Aug 7s at that time. For example if you bouht at the close Friday for 6 bucks you could have sold the Aug. 6s for .65. If it stays about 6 you make over 10% in two weeks. Also if it falls (which is all it seems to do) your basis is 5.35. this is how I do it. Problem is when you get that big spike and the VIX doubles you miss out on the big upside. II just can't take the pain so I sell the current month near ot at the money stikes.
As another poster pointed out the VIX is so low that selling the at the money migh not be the best move at this time. I am in at 7.26 with the Aug 7s for .95. Looks like I will be selling some 6s in to weeks
the issue you have to address is
"Will the option premium I recieve be less than the drop in the ETF price one month longer"
If the answer is yes, then you are increasing your losses.
If the naswer is no, then it is a good policy.
As I mentioned, it all depends upon how high the spot VIX will be when a decision needs to be made versus your loss at that date.
Best of luck.
I write covered calls on stocks and tried it on this ETF and lost a bunch of money.
Why? Because, long term this ETF will decay each month faster than any option premium you receive.
Typical case:
Without writing the call
cost basis $7.20-market value $6= 1.20 loss
Now let's assume different prices in Sept
Price of $7
Cost basis $7.20-.65 option-7 ETF= profit 0.45
Price of 6
Cost basis $7.20-.65 option-$6 ETF=loss of 0.55
Price of 5
Cost basis $7.20-.65 option-$5 ETF= loss of $1.55
Price of 4
Cost basis of $7.20- .65 option- $4 ETF= $2.55 loss
Now, what do you think this ETF will be worth in 1 1/2 months?
This will guide your decision.
Remember, you are fighting against contango as if we get no change in spot VIX in 1 1/2 months, then Sept future VIX of $19.36 will drop to $15.69 or a 19% drop (or $4.86 based on todays price).
The one good thing you have going for you, is that spot VIX is so low that it may not drop any lower in a month and a half, and you always have a chance that it will be higher.
Good luck
