Jack Reilly
Pianist/Composer and author Jack Reilly has the unenviable position of being an artist well respected and admired by his peers for his composing and performing faculties, but never quite achieving that level of public acclaim his prodigious talents deserve. There was no one defining moment when the pianist decided jazz was to be his livelihood.
It grew on him as he hung out at community jazz joints on Staten Island listening to the local piano players. He was pushed over the edge when he heard the modernism of the Lennie Tristano Quintet and made his musical debut with John LaPorta in 1958 at the Newport Jazz Festival. Over the years, he has worked with Ben Webster and with the George Russell Big Band.Read more

In conjunction with the opening of the International Casual Furniture and Accessories Market, Lane Venture launched its new consumer website this week.
The new site features an enhanced look, improved functionality and tools to upgrade search engine optimization. The development of the new laneventure.com utilized the resources of the company's parent Furniture Brands International and reflects their consumer driven focus in its design.
The enhanced look features a fresh, clean appearance in keeping with the company's style direction for product and marketing materials. The improved functionality centers around search that is highly visual and intuitive. Behind the scenes, major work has been done to optimize the site's presence in major search engines.
"It's essential to have a web presence that reflects Lane Venture style and that is simple to use and easy to find," Lane Venture President Gary McCray said. "We believe that with this site we've done just that."
The new site will now become the centerpiece of Lane Venture's marketing program and be used to support sales and marketing initiatives throughout the year. The site will also continue to offer the company's extranet site, Adventurelink, that provides delivery information, marketing materials and company news to authorized Lane Venture dealers.

Suspect Arraigned in Series of Rapes; Other Crimes
Ypsilanti, MI – A 38-year-old Pittsfield Township man already in jail has now been charged with raping an Eastern Michigan University student last spring.
James Holland Junior was arraigned yesterday on six counts relating to the sexual assault of a student on the EMU campus last May. Holland was also arraigned on 19 additional charges in six other cases not related to the EMU incident. Those cases include several rapes, armed robberies, kidnapping, carrying concealed weapons, and a 1991 Ypsilanti murder.
Holland was arrested in January by Michigan Department of Corrections officials for a parole violation. He has been held in the Washtenaw County jail since then. Police say the series of sexual assaults and robberies on and near the EMU campus ended after Holland was locked up.
Magistrate Camille Brown ordered Holland held without bond pending a preliminary examination April 4th.

EDITORIAL: Give Us Your Poor, Your Huddled Masses?
7/23/2014, 3 p.m.
A callousness, cynicism and meanness seems to have taken hold of sections of this country and it's being exhibited most clearly in the influx of more than 50,000 Central American children here.
Since the children crossed into America, people have voiced their support or opposition as to whether the children should be allowed to stay or sent home.
Immigration and what the government should do to or for almost 12 million undocumented immigrants has roiled the country. There's little agreement whether to allow those already here illegally to stay; be punished, fined and put at the back of the proverbial line to get their papers; or be unceremoniously carted back to countries of their birth.
The children's arrival has added fuel to the flames of an already ugly debate. There have been protests, angry meetings with state and local officials, and citizens in states being considered to house the children stoutly resisting efforts for them to stay there.
Why are the children here? They say they are trying to escape gangs, violence, grinding poverty and other social and political problems wracking their countries.
In this, America is dealing with the fruits of unintended consequences. In the 1990s, Bill Clinton began the deportation of immigrants – with or without green cards – for felony crimes. That resulted in tens of thousands of people being sent back to the Caribbean and Latin America. Many weren't even born in the respective countries and without a support system, jobs or money, they resorted to crime. It is that crime which has driven these children north.
Another reason is that in the 1980s, Ronald Reagan financed right-wing regimes which brutalized and murdered citizens from places like Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua. Too often, the political and social elite stole foreign aid money that was supposed to help develop institutions and infrastructure, so desperate people voted with their feet.
Maybe it's because we've been throttled by a stubborn recession, economic woes, unemployment and other challenges, maybe it's xenophobia rearing its ugly head, maybe it's just a nation turning inward.
Whatever the reason, we as a country should never turn our backs on those in need and suffering from problems the U.S. created. To those who say we can't afford it, one way to pay for this is to scrap the F-35 boondoggle and its estimated $1.45 trillion price tag and use that money to take care of these children.

Lobular Carcinoma in situ (LCIS) and Ductal Carcinoma in situ (DCIS) are abnormalities that doctors call "stage zero" breast cancer. Women with either of these diagnoses often ask us, "Do I have breast cancer?"
Despite the fact that its name includes the term "carcinoma," LCIS is not a true breast cancer. Rather, LCIS is an indication that a person is at higher-than-average risk for getting breast cancer at some point in the future. For this reason, some experts prefer the term "lobular neoplasia" instead of "lobular carcinoma." A neoplasia is a collection of abnormal cells. LCIS is restricted to the lobules.
DCIS is the most common kind of carcinoma (cancer) in situ. In DCIS, cancer cells are only in the ductal walls. If DCIS is not treated, it will likely grow into an invasive cancer. Here is a side-by-side comparison of the two conditions:
Ask your doctor questions about your diagnosis and your pathology results. You and your doctor will decide what treatment is best for your situation. Whether you are diagnosed with LCIS or DCIS, it can be overwhelming. Get support when needed. Don't be afraid to ask for help or to turn to a trusted friend when you need to share your feelings and concerns. Make healthy changes to your lifestyle, so you can feel your best.

One of the things that surprised me was the heated toilet seats. That's a very big surprise when you first sit down. Or I could make a joke about how I ate all the food and gained 15 pounds after joining Google. Actually, it was more than that. I'm still working on it.
But seriously, when the company I cofounded was acquired by Google, I expected a process for everything, and that just isn't the case. What's the travel policy? Just don't overspend. Use your best judgment. Commonsense stuff. There are not a lot of rules and regulations.
I'm working on a longer, large-scale project that requires infrastructure to produce an innovative product. Quality assurance, documentation, marketing, user experience - they're not in silos. The teams work together to produce the product. It's an amazing process, like a self-contained small company. There's a lot of autonomy. Google makes sure it hires the best talent and once they're in the same room they trust them to make the right decisions.
I've worked for big and small companies, a pretty broad spectrum. Some organizations have specific innovators. Elsewhere, innovation comes from the top down. In both cases, it's incremental. At Google, it's bottom-up. If you have an idea, you can put together a prototype, build excitement, and ship it within a short period of time. Agility is one of our strengths.
We're building an open-source platform for mobile phones called Android. The strategy is to provide Web-style innovation and rapid development on the cell phone, which we think is still in prehistoric times. We want to deliver thousands of applications to your phone. If you have people developing applications at home, one of them will create the next Facebook. That's the idea behind our mobile mashups. Third-party developers get data from one site and overlay it on something like a Google map. Development isn't limited to what one company provides. It's like having a Wal-Mart to shop in. And new features are being added so quickly. It's just an awesome way to develop.
Google can't do everything. And we shouldn't. That's why we formed the Open Handset Alliance with more than 34 partners. Throwing software over the wall isn't going to work. You need handsets based on this software and carriers willing to ship them. I expected FUD: fear, uncertainty, and doubt. But we've seen some key competitors following us. So we know we're doing something right.

The first-place Prince Albert Raiders!
Considering what the team went through last year, it has a rather nice ring to it.
The Raiders extended their lead in the Western Hockey LeagueŌĆÖs East Division to three points with a 5-4 shootout victory over the Calgary Hitmen on Friday. After recording the leagueŌĆÖs worst record last season, the Raiders remain undefeated early this year with FridayŌĆÖs win in Calgary improving their record to 5-0-0-1.
Mark McNeill scored the only goal in the shootout to the lift the Raiders to the victory after Calgary had forced the extra session and shootout with a goal by Greg Chase with one minute remaining in regulation time.
Anthony Bardaro, with two goals, Dakota Conroy and Josh Morrissey, who also collected a pair of assists, also scored for the Raiders. For Conroy, it was his third goal in four games since coming to Prince Albert in a trade with Victoria at the end of September.
The Raider have now won all three games they have played on the road this season. It wasnŌĆÖt until Dec. 11 last year when the club won its third game away from Prince Albert.
Luke Siemens continues to be the go-to guy in the Prince Albert goal as the 20-year-old veteran who was acquired from Moose Jaw in the off-season has played every second of every game for the Raiders this year. Siemens turned aside 20 shots on Friday, and all three in the shootout, to collect the victory.
Special teams were another factor in the outcome of FridayŌĆÖs match as the Raiders capitalized on three of seven power-play situations and were also perfect in killing off all three Hitmen man-advantage opportunities.
The Raiders will continue a busy Thanksgiving long weekend road trip on Sunday with a stop in Cranbrook to play the Kootenay Ice and then conclude the western trek with a date with the Lethbridge Hurricanes on Tuesday.
RAIDER NOTES: Prince Albert continued to tinker with its line-up on Friday as they acquired 20-year-old defenseman Davis Vandane from the Spokane Chiefs. Vandane has played in 124 games with the Chiefs over two years and he also appeared in 13 games with the Saskatoon Blades over two seasons compiling three goals and 40 assists. The 6ŌĆÖ4ŌĆØ, 215-pound rearguard has also seen action in 30 playoff games. The acquisition of Vandane gives Prince Albert four overage players with the league limiting each team to have just three on their roster as of Wednesday. However, the status of Antoine Corbin is still unknown as he remains in the American Hockey League trying out with the Hamilton Bulldogs. Should Corbin be returned to Prince Albert, the Raiders will have 14 days to decide on whom to release. The other overage players are Siemens and BardaroŌĆ"Not dressed for Prince Albert on Friday were Zach Hodder, Mike Winther and Chance Braid. Hodder is still sidelined from an upper body injury suffered in the second game of the season and Winther continues to nurse a sore groin. Braid was once again a victim of the numbers game.

Avoiding problems
The following are suggestions for freeing up space in your account:
Keep your inbox small
If your incoming mailbox uses a lot of space, please remove any messages that you do not need. You can also try sorting your inbox by message size and removing the largest ones.
After removing messages, be sure to empty the trash and compact your mailboxes. These options can be found under the file menu in Mozilla Thunderbird, the special menu in Eudora or the Empty Trash icon when using Webmail.
Remove unused attachments
In your home directory's MyData folder, there are two Eudora folders: Eudora and Eudora.mac. Each of these folders has a folder for attachments called "attach" or "attachment folder". Delete any files in the attachment folders that you do not need.
Eudora automatically saves attachments to these folders, but does not delete the attachments when you delete the messages. After removing the unwanted files, be sure to empty the Recycle Bin or Trash.
Removed unwanted sent messages
Your Sent or Out mailbox is where WebMail, Mozilla Thunderbird or Eudora might save all the e-mail messages that you send. Check these mailboxes and delete any unwanted messages.
You can check the sent or out boxes by double-clicking the sent or out boxes or selecting them from the mailboxes menu. After removing unwanted messages, empty the trash and compact your mailboxes - found under the special menu in Eudora; the file menu in Mozilla Thunderbird; or by clicking the Empty Trash link in WebMail.
Empty the trash
Your Trash mailbox houses all of your deleted messages. You should regularly empty the trash mailbox and compact all your mailboxes. These options are found under the special menu in Eudora; the file menu in Mozilla Thunderbird; or by clicking the Empty Trash icon in WebMail.
Other things to check
- Remove unneeded items from the desktop and the Downloads folder in your home directory.
- Remove setup files (.exe) for easily downloadable files.
- If there is a large file called 2eds_store causing problems, it can be resolved by logging into a mac lab computer and emptying the trash, or it can be deleted by Core Services.
Google Drive
- Consider moving items to your Gustavus Google Drive. Google Drive provides unlimited storage, especially helpful for storage of large video files.

The best principles we learn in life, apart from revelation in God's Word, comes from life experience. Experience is a great teacher. Here are some of my favorites.
Let me be clear, I'm not saying I live by these always, just that I've lived long enough to know they are true.
15 life lessons:
Above all else guard your heart, for it is the well spring of life. – Proverbs 4:23, Eventually it all boils down to the heart of the matter.
God cares more about our character than He does many of the individual decisions we make – But if we are not careful we spend more of our prayer time focusing on those decisions. Being a good father is more important than buying the best house in town.
You've got to know when to fold them; know when to walk away; and know when to run. – Kenny Rogers was right. There are times to fight and times you know you can't win and times when you shouldn't be fighting anyway. Learning the difference is huge.
If you can't say nothin' nice, don't say nothin' at all. – Thumper knew a truth that Scripture plays out too. There are times when we need to "shut up" and say (or email) nothing.
Once it is said, it's much harder to take back. – Thumper didn't say this one, but maybe the warning should have come after it, because we usually don't listen to the first suggestion.
It takes time to mend a broken heart. – As believers we don't grieve like a world without hope, but we still hurt. Healing wounds take time, prayer, and truth. Some marriages need to know this principle.
Letting people get credit for something I did is okay if the organization is moving forward. – In the end, if I'm leading, I'll get all the credit I deserve and more.
Jesus came full of grace AND truth. – We tend to err in one direction or the other.
More of the same will not produce change. – You can't keep doing the same things and expect to get different results.
Sometimes the greatest fear we have is the greatest opportunity God has to use us for His glory. – God seems to always call us to that which seems bigger than we are. That causes us to rely on Him more.
God is faithful; you can trust Him. – This one comes with test after test, but He has proven Himself every time.
We tend to end in the direction we are headed. – We shouldn't be surprised if we end up in a bad situation, if that's the direction we were aiming our life.
You get more bees with honey than vinegar. – Being nice to people usually gets better results than beating them into submission. (Bible truth: It's the kindness of God that leads to repentance.
People are different from me. – I tend to want people to respond to life and me as I respond to life and others. They don't.
Every life experience can be used of God for something that gives God glory. – Everything! Maybe even reading this post!

3ds max and Cinema4D
To test the processors performance during final rendering we used the new sixth version of 3ds max package. Moreover, we measured not only a single frame rendering speed, but also the animation rendering speed with the simultaneous saving of the avi-file. The two diagrams below show the performance of the CPUs in second, therefore the lower is the value, the faster the CPU actually is.
Note that the higher working frequency of the new Athlon 64 FX-53 helps this CPU a lot in 3ds max tests. Although the absence of Hyper-Threading support by Athlon 64 processors, doesn't allow us to call them suitable for systems used for final rendering needs. The results obtained in Cinema4D prove this point once again.
However, the processing of OpenGL context in professional applications is an indisputable success of the new Athlon 64 FX-53, as it managed to even outperform Pentium 4 XE 3.4GHz.

'All-Star Celebrity Apprentice': You Can Come Out Now, Omarosa's Gone!
Gonna spoil this one right off the top, because I'm absolutely delighted that this is the last week I have to talk about Oma – the witch is dead! Couldn't believe it myself. Perhaps the networks are beginning to understand that loud, cruel, desperate wanna-be celebs are no longer in fashion.
Last week, Omarosa targeted Claudia Jordan, bullied her into taking on the role of project manager, and effectively sabotaged Claudia's game by under participating. But Claudia, afraid that Trump would play favorites and keep Omarosa in the game, wound up being the fired celebrity.
In the suite, Omarosa wondered why she was being targeted, week after week, by the others, and came to the conclusion that everyone was intimidated by her superior skills. Dennis Rodman, who's been brought into the boardroom after every challenge, cannot understand why Oma's striking such fear into everyone's heart. He interviews that he's got his own bag of tricks, if it comes down to a fight between he and Omarosa.
Trump convenes the celebs in front of Trump International Tower, where he indicates an enormous globe, a piece of art that he commissioned to become an icon of the city. He then tells them about art; a painting is 2D, while statues, sculptures and the like are 3D. He wants the two teams to create and sell 3D art. Each team will create a gallery event, open to the public, where they will market and sell their artwork. The team who raises the most money will be the winner, and keep all proceeds from both teams for their own charity.
Team Power are down a player, so to even things up, Trace Adkins is assigned to them. Trace does not appear at all happy at the trade. "I don't like you very much right now," said Trace. "That's okay, a lot of people don't like me," Trump replied.
Power will have Lil Jon as their project manager. Gary Busey, on Plan B, refuses the job, so it falls to Lisa Rinna to manage their project. Piers Morgan and Eric Trump will oversee both teams' work.
We only have an hour of Celebrity Apprentice this Easter weekend, and everything seems a little rushed. The teams head for an art store, where they grab paint and supplies. Trace is still unhappy with the swap; after all, he picked the people in Power, and they've dominated the game. When a salesperson at the store asks if he needs help, Trace says, "Yes. Shoot me." But – it is what it is. He grabs a couple of premade art supply kits, and declares himself ready to go.
Lisa's plan is to divide their time and work evenly between preparing art, and calling potential donors. The goal is to make the most money, not the best art. She's concerned about running a fund raising challenge, as she's unsure of how much she can personally bring in.
Penn Jillette reiterates that each player will create 3 works of art, for a total of 15 saleable pieces. They need 15 donors who will donate as much as possible for each one. Stephen Baldwin raises his hand like a little kid, and asks Penn to clarify – he's saying that the art doesn't matter? Penn agrees; he doesn't think anyone on the team has the talent to make a work of art. Stephen disagrees. To him, the art does matter as he will have an art dealer represent the art to sell it to clients. Everyone says, "Ok," and then carries on with their phone calls.
The littlest Baldwin explains that he intends to call a dealer, and using the celebrity factor, hopefully convince the dealer to bring in patrons who will pay $20K or $30K per art piece, as a unique, one of a kind collector's item.
Barely containing laughter, Marilu Henner interviews, "Stephen was so full of s--- I couldn't believe it. What play was he doing? Who was he really talking to? We knew that Stephen probably wasn't going to bring in anything."
Lisa feels that she can really only count on herself, Marilu and Penn for donations; Stephen and Gary Busey will be useless. And since Trace, who has big donors on his side, is now on the other team, she's under great pressure to produce.
Lisa also has to contend with Busey, who's pounding away on his clay like a two year old, while pondering such grand ideas as "Art is only the search. It is not the final form." As he puts together his masterpiece, "Lightning Strikes Mr. Hangbrain," Gary begins to sing a little song about art and searching and form … you get the picture. Stephen looks on in disgust when Lisa shakes her booty to Gary's song.
Gary censors himself, saying he'll try to keep quiet, but Penn sees it differently; what Gary was doing was real art. He's impressed with how Gary has thrown himself into his sculpture's creation.

1990 GMC Sierra 2500 Regular Cab K2500 2dr Regular Cab 4WD LB
This trucks has 208,000 miles on her. At about 200 thousand miles put in a new tranny. The engine still runs strong. Had to put both new front axles. Pitmin arm and idler arm. Now needs brakes and ball joints. But for the age of this truck, I love it. It hasn't got and rust. It doesn't do the best on gas. But I love driving it, being high off the ground. I think the engine will last until 300 thousand miles. It is the 5.7 V8. It accelerates slow, but if you need to make a highway pass, you'll have plenty of power. Great work truck
The ease of working on it
Needs a cup holder.

Mr. Tartlet and I absolutely wanted our guests to have a means of displaying our save he date cards once they were received, and ours were inspired by these adorable save the date luggage tags:
At first, I was hesitant to adopt this idea because of countless stories describing sore fingers as a result of poor aim when hammering the eyelets into place. I'll try to explain:
in their unaltered state, eyelets look like little hollow top hats that just sit loosely in a hole you punch in the paper. They have to be "set" or locked in place somehow so they don't fall out. Many tutorials suggest a hammer and a setting tool to squish the neck part of the eyelet flat, turning it into a bottom ring with the paper sandwiched in between it and the top ring.
This method sounded noisy and complicated. All my reservations disappeared, though, once I come across a handy all-in-one tool called a Crop-a-Dile. It not only punches holes of the appropriate size for the eyelet, but also "sets" the eyelet in place with a simple squeeze of the handles. No muss, no fuss. We collected our rounded save the date cards, 1/4″ gold-colored eyelets (purchased off eBay), the Crop-a-Dile, and began!
First, we used the Crop-a-Dile to punch a hole of the appropriate size in the card:
Next, the eyelets were inserted into the holes and set using the same Crop-a-Dile gadget:
Once the eyelets were set, we tied a 3 mm satin ribbon through each hole so the cards could be hung!
We also made our own address labels using a Xyron, which is essentially a sticker-making tool. The model I have, the 2.5″ create-a-sticker, applies a layer of adhesive to the back of paper (or other materials) up to 2.5 inches wide without the need for heat, batteries, or electricity. Being a gadget geek, I decided to invest in one because of this nifty idea from Martha Stewart:
I love how sleek and clean these labels look! Rather than using her provided template, I designed my own address labels in Adobe Illustrator and cut them to size. I placed the trimmed address label on the feed tray of the Xyron:
Turned the handle to feed the address label through:
And the label is spit out the back end, complete with an even adhesive backing. There's a nice serrated tear strip on the back of the Xyron, so no need for scissors, even.
I peeled the label off the backing to place on the envelopes:
And ended up with this finished product, ready to be stuffed, stamped, and mailed!
As an alternative to the Xyron, you can purchase sticker sheets for your printer. However, since the Xyron 2.5 only cost a few dollars more than the sticker sheets, I decided to make the investment and have definitely gotten my money's worth from it.

As you can see here on the blog, we've got a new look! As Stephen and I's photography style has evolved over the years, as well as moving into specializing more exclusively in photographing destination luxury weddings, we wanted to refresh our brand to better reflect the style of weddings we now specialize in. With starting to shoot a lot in Miami, as well as other beautiful destinations, we wanted to incorporate a clean and simple high fashion feel to our site with more white like most of the boutique hotels are down in South Beach. While we've stripped the hot pink background of this blog, we are still using my signature hot pink as a pop of color, but wanted our photographs to be the main source of color in the overall design.

Courtney Love's Mysterious White Powder
Courtney Love stepped out in Paris on Wednesday wearing a colorful scarf wrapped around her head and a black outfit with suspicious white powder on the skirt. Love headed off to Le Bataclan to play a show with her band Hole.
The singer was forced to go online to wish her daughter Frances Bean a happy 18th birthday earlier this month because a restraining order has banned her from seeing the teenager.
In a series of heartfelt posts on Twitter, the rocker - currently living in New York - begged her daughter to come back into her life and urged her to be wary of people preying on her now she is old enough to inherit a chunk of her late father's fortune.

Drawing is still a very important skill in biology. Drawings help to record data from specimens. Drawings can highlight the important features of a specimen. Photographs can be very useful for recording data but they are not very selective - they show more detail of a specimen than you might want.
Photographs of small specimens and photomicrographs cannot show the whole specimen in focus at once. A drawing is the result of a long period of observation at different depths of focus and at different magnifications. One drawing can show features that would take several photographs.
Some guidelines for drawing from specimens in biology

"When you touch one thing with awareness,
you touch everything." – Thich Nhat Hanh
Since moving to the coastside community of Half Moon Bay three years ago, I've become more and more inspired by farmers. Specifically, local organic farmers and the ecosystems they steward. I am not sure how this evolution happened, but somewhere along the way, in the age of industrial farming and processed foods, in the trance of busyness that convinced me to prioritize my "job" over taking the time to feed myself well, I woke up to the way farmers are actually key players in the health care ecosystem.
For me, the past few weeks have included the following. On the first Saturday of May, my acoustic rock duo provided the live music for our local farmers' market. Our evolution from being loyal customers to becoming more active participants in the ecosystem providing this precious resource for our community has been a dream come true for the kind of musicians we desire to be. We play for tips, lettuce, strawberries, olive oil, bread, chocolate, a bit of cash, and a big dose of the love that comes from knowing we are feeding the community with our art and joy.
Two weeks ago, I became a member of my first CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). This means I signed up to get a box of locally grown, organic produce delivered to my door by a farm collective every two weeks. In each box is a note from Farmer Paul, with a poetic missive on his observations in the field, followed by some bullet points on "how to be a great and green member of the farm family". These two lines really hit home for me:
"Remember, you are not a customer; you are a shareholder in our farm.
Paying your bill is not enough. Owning a share means doing your share."
The "aha" for me was that I do have a responsibility. I was not just "buying" a box of food delivered to my door each week. I am now responsible for holding a piece of the thread. I am now a weaver of our local ecosystem. I am adding my voice to the chorus saying "Yes!" to locally grown organic produce, picked by hand, delivered by hand, and gifted to us all by the land. Do you feel that? We are gifted our food from the land. The land is not a factory. It is a generous donor and partner. And what we give to the land it gives back to us in multiples.
Several days later, I attended a lecture by Daphne Miller, MD, a family physician and author of the book, Farmacology: What Innovative Family Farming Can Teach Us About Health and Healing. Her curiosity about the relationship between her patients' health and the health of our soil led her on a global odyssey to visit small family-owned farms, as well as agricultural scientists and ecologists studying organic farming practices. The one-sentence summary of her talk was, "We are the soil." What we put into the earth, we put into ourselves. And what we put into ourselves, we also put back into the earth.
All of this has gotten me thinking more about both how we feed our world, and how we are fed by our world.
The thought seeds that take root in our consciousness create feelings which course through the cells of our body as chemical signals and are digested in each cell, creating our experience of life.
Imagine the gut – our digestive system – as the place where our feelings about the world are taken in, broken down and digested into the elements that fuel our entire being system of Soul+Body+Mind, driving our decisions and actions in the world.
Each of us is a mini ecosystem living within a sphere of progressively larger ecosystems – our bodies, our relationships, our homes, our families, our communities, our nations, our planet, and our cosmos. Mindfulness of food – what we put into our mouths – equals mindfulness of what we take in from our experience of life and what we perceive through our consciousness.
When we touch the essence of "WE ARE THE SOIL", we see that what we feed our consciousness we also feed to our world.
What are some things you can do now, in your world, to live more from this awareness?
- walk outside and breathe fresh air…imagine and feel the air feeding every cell of your body
- notice the products you choose that wash down the drain — this eventually becomes part of our soil
- plant a garden
- walk barefoot in or touch actual soil or living earth
- vote with your dollars and support a local organic farmer in your area
- receive the sounds in your environment and notice how they are feeding you
- clean up your thinking…junk thoughts equals junk food
- love what you feel and trust your gut
Your mind may react to this list as being too simple to have an impact. But I believe we can each find our own way of remembering the ecosystems we are already part of. And when we remember, we touch everything in our world in a new way.
We can reclaim our position as owners again…not just customers, but holders of our own share in this web of life.

Wyoming's Fire Season Heating Up
by Michael Sevren, email@example.com
By this time last year, several large wildfires were already burning across Wyoming. More than 4,000 firefighters from around the country spent July 2012 battling blazes in the Cowboy State.
Luckily, no major fires have broken out yet. But it's not just new fires that authorities are worried about this summer: Burn scar areas from last year's fires pose a whole new hazard.

Jenna Dewan-Tatum Speaks Up for Global Captive Breeders Victims
Actor and PETA pal Jenna Dewan-Tatum has added her name to those of the tens of thousands of compassionate people calling on Riverside County, California, District Attorney Paul Zellerbach to file felony cruelty charges against those responsible for the horrific neglect of animals at Global Captive Breeders, LLC (GCB).
© StarMaxInc.com
Following PETA's undercover investigation of Lake Elsinore, California–based GCB, which revealed the systemic, daily neglect and shocking abuse of thousands of rats and reptiles, more than 30,000 of you have signed on to PETA's petition urging Zellerbach to take action.
Hell on Earth for Animals
On December 12, based on PETA's evidence, law-enforcement officials mounted the largest-ever seizure of animals in California at GCB. The facility reeked of death, decay, and ammonia from accumulated urine and feces. Snakes and other reptiles at GCB were so neglected that, in many cases, even their deaths went unnoticed by management—for days, leaving enclosures and rotting carcasses teeming with maggots.
Rats were routinely grabbed by the tail and slammed against hard surfaces when workers decided to kill them. Then they were thrown into trash bins or into a reptile's cage while still alive and convulsing. Tubs used for housing flooded frequently, drowning countless rats and leaving hundreds of others—exhausted, shivering, and terrified—to struggle to keep their heads above the water as it rose. As Jenna explains in her letter to Zellerbach:
As an expectant mother, I was particularly heartbroken to see photos of ailing mother rats with open wounds on their bodies who stood guard protectively over their dead or dying babies in the filthy plastic tubs that they were confined to without access to adequate food, water, or even moderately fresh air to breathe… Justice must be served for the unspeakable suffering endured by countless animals at GCB.
What You Can Do
Please join PETA and Jenna Dewan-Tatum in politely urging Zellerbach to file criminal charges against all appropriate parties without further delay.
Commenting is closed.
How 'smart' does an animal have to be before killing it constitutes murder? Animals are suffering and dying just because we are here on the planet with them. We build homes through their habitat, we pollute their environment, destroy their habitat. Is there any reason we have to maximize their suffering and maximize the cruelty and the death that they already endure by torturing them, wearing them and eating them. As a whole, humans are NOT civilized much of the human race is psychopathic!
Yes..cruelty to animals no good…
it is in-human to treat animals this way. Animals are Tortured, skinned alive, burned, neglected, not fed and not cared for. Those "people" look and sound like cavemen. They make humanity look like freaks of nature, like we have no feelings for other beings. The world will not end because of a stupid calendar, but it will end because of stupid people killing each other off and banging and their chests to see who's the bigger man. The world will end because stupid people will kill nature as we know it.
People are disgusting. The only thing that beating & torturing innocent animals accomplishes is making you look weak.
please have compassion for defenseless animals
please have a heart for defenseless animals
I think animal cruelty is barbaric and it needs to be stopped. Far too much cruelty in the world full stop.
That humans would act like this towards voiceless defenseless animals is an embarrassment to the human race! Something MUST be done!!
Poor animals. Humans are the most dangerous species on earth.

prea in georgia
The Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution forbids cruel and unusual punishment - a ban that requires juvenile or corrections staff to take reasonable steps to protect individuals in their custody from sexual abuse and sexual misconduct whenever the threat is known or should have been apparent. In Farmer V. Brennan, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that deliberate indifference to the substantial risk of sexual abuse violates an incarcerated individual's rights under the Eighth Amendment.
The Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) of 2003 affirmed that the Congress duty to protect incarcerated individuals from sexual abuse was unanimous. The Act called for the creation of a national Commission to study the causes and consequences of sexual abuse in confinement and to develop standards for correctional facilities nationwide that would set in motion a process of the elimination of prison rape.

Professional Kite Boarding Lessons
Why should I choose Complete Kite Boarding?
We are going to have fun as you learn one of the most exciting sports . I can help you quickly excel with 13 years of teaching experience and 15 years of practical knowledge. You will learn things that other instructors or schools just don't know. You can not find this information it in a book, video or magazine You will need this information because the wind and the waves can quickly separate the competent from incompetent. Eventually you will find yourself in a situation where you will need to know what to do. Never learning what to do or worse yet being taught incorrectly can make you difficult to rescue. You are important and are worth being taught by of a skilled professional. At Complete Kite Boarding you learn from a knowledgeable, patient, safety conscious kite board instructor with over a decade of service who wants you reach your goals in the most direct path possible. Going to another school is just a waste of your time and money.
Can anyone learn to kite board?
If you can ride a bike, than you probably can learn to kite. Learning to kite board is easy if you are at a good location with a good instructor. Many people have wanted to kite for a long time before they take lesson.
Take the next step and say "I'm going to do this." Call for a lesson (808)250-6922.
How long does it take to learn?
Kite boarding is not learned in one day. The average person will require at least 9 hours of instruction to cover most fundamentals. These hours can be done in a few days of even spread out over years. Throughout the world you will find that most schools offer a "9 hour package special" in the hopes that a person will take advantage of the opportunity to approach the sport safely. Realistically give yourself between 15 to 30 hours of practicing kite boarding before you are confidently kiting back and forth.
How much does it cost?
Like most sports (skiing, snowboarding, kayaking, mountain biking or scuba diving) it will cost you about $1000 to get into the sport. I charge 110/hr plus tax. A single person can book a 9 hour package and recieve 10% off, plus tax. Two or more people can share a class with a friend and each person will get 25% off, plus tax.
Kama'aina and senior citizens automatically receive 10% off.
Do I need to be strong?
No, you don't need to be strong. You will be seated in a harness. Think of para-sailing; your arms are not holding you up. You have a harness to support you. The same applies to kite boarding.
Can I teach myself?
Yes and No. Yes there are ways to teach yourself to kite board more quickly. Some preparations are listed at the bottom of the page. No, I don't recommend you teaching yourself or having your friend whom kites teach you. I've had many students whom first took lessons from a friend and they learned just enough to be a danger to themselves and others. You want to take lessons to avoid hurting yourself. Many of the things you would most naturally do are the same things that will get you injured. Go to a competent instructor whom will teach you how to kite board correctly. More importantly, learn from a teacher whom will show you how to recognize a problem and how to respond effectively in a timely manner before things go very wrong.
Is gear provided?
Yes, gear will be provided. Our goal is to set you up in the correct gear to help you succeed. Ideally, you have just long enough lines and a kite with just enough power for you to accomplish a skill. We want to minimize any potential risk. For example, we wouldn't want to connect you to a 7, 10 or 12 meter kite that is large enough to lift you, when we are just learning to turn a kite. We only need a small kite that will not endanger you to learn the basics.
Can we communicate while you are in the water?
While you are in the water, I use 2-way radios to guide you through every step along the way. I like to teach you how to do a step on land and then apply that skill in the water. You will know what you are doing and how to do it prior to entering the water. The radio is used to fine tune your technique in real time.
(If you would like me to, I can go in the water on a surf board with you. But, recognize most of the time we will not be close to hear each other and we will spend most of the lesson walking our gear up the beach instead of learning how to kite).
How do I choose an instructor?
At Complete Kite Boarding I will be your instructor. You do not have to be worried that you will be paired with an instructor whom just learned to kite and was hired on the beach a few weeks ago. If you do choose another school, I would recommend asking for an instructor that has at least 4 years of experience. Here is my rationale: unlike Maui, most places in the world have a kite boarding season that is 2 or 3 months long and If they teach for four years that just may be the equivalent of working their job for 12 months. With a years worth of experience they may have an idea of what to do when things go wrong and may be able to answer your questions correctly. If you have a chance, watch instructors from many schools teach and request the one whom students are progressing quickly and know what they are doing.
Take the next step and say "I'm going to do this." Book a lesson (808)250-6922.
What should I bring to the lesson?
1) Water, We'll be in the hot sun and last night's Mai Tais and this morning's coffee may have left you dehydrated.
2) Sunscreen, Zinc Oxide works. Don't forget to apply sunscreen to your feet.
3) Polarized Sun Glasses, The sun's rays will be bouncing off of the sand and water can damage your eyes.
4) Hat with a Strap, Your old baseball cap will not block out much sun when when the wind blows it off of your head.
5) Healthy Snack, After a couple of hours your sugar level will drop and so will your fine motor skills and ability to focus.
How to prepare before taking kite board lessons:
1, By far and away the best way to save money on kite boarding lessons is to be great at flying a kite. Buy a small $69 two-line stunt kite and a chair without arm rests. Find a place with steady wind and fly your kite as often as you can. When kite flying becomes a relaxing activity, then buy a 4 line stunt kite.
2, If you have never ridden a board in your life, buy a skateboard and ride back and forth holding onto a friends hand or a hand rail. It is important to be comfortable traveling with your left foot in front as well as with your right foot in front. Because, when you are kite boarding, you will be riding "regular" foot going one direction and "goofy" traveling the opposite direction. Or if you snowboard, practice riding with your less dominate foot in the back.
3, Although kiters rarely swim, you should at least know how to swim the back stroke. You will find it is an easy stroke to do with a life jacket on. Many of the times when you swim while kiting, it is using a back stroke to swim away from your kite to regain tension in your lines. For the most part, swimming is a last resort, when all else fails.
I have been teaching people of all ages and skill levels to kite board since 2003. Whether you are a nervous and timid beginner, a comfortable intermediate kiter or are looking to master professional tricks, we can set up a lesson for you.
I can show you how to align you kite, board, bar, body and hands to succeed kite boarding. Also, I can show you the common mistakes of every step that are making learning to kite difficult for you.
Are you concerned about safety? I'm the only school on Maui that uses a 5th line dedicated for safety.
When you are on a 4-line kite, you are using a power-line that doubles as your safety-line. If and when your safety jams or fails, you will find out why they are called "power-lines." I promise not to put you are risk with a 4-line kite.
Benefits of Kiting:
Kite boarding can become a beautiful part of your life and bring you so many good times. I think you'll find it is important for you to go to the beach, to be around other people living life, to feel the sun warm your skin, to connect your feet to the sand and feel the how the water releases tension. You'll find that when you are kiting, you are the connection point between two forces of nature, the wind and the water. It is awesome to be in harmony with the elements. You control your speed and directions by leveraging against the wind and water using your board and your kite. Since you are using a harness to do the work for you, it requires very little strength to connect these forces of nature. In time you could be spending the afternoon sailing in a tropical bay. Maybe you have dreamed of carving the most beautiful turns under a sunset. Some people want to jump high, soar and then float softly down--this is addicting. Many people, myself included, just want to kite-surf waves all day. A few people want to cross the ocean. I don't know where you want to go on your kite boarding journey but I can say the journey is worth your time.
First off, don't give yourself an excuse not to have fun. Kite boarding is a sport for the old, young and everyone in between, including you. Some people mistakenly think that it is a strong person's sport. It is not. In all honesty, it is kind of a lazy person's sport. For the most part, you are resting half of your body at a time while leveraging your weight against the pull of the kite by leaning back in your harness. Your arms are relaxed and will lightly pull the bar a little to the right when you want the kite to move towards its right side. Lightly pull to the left if you want the kite to move to the left side. When you are not sure what to do, just let go of the bar and sit down. In my experience, people who can be lazy and do nothing will have an easy time learning to kite board. If you are a control freak or a muscular person, you can still learn to kite. But, allow yourself more time.

Is a 308 too much gun for hunting coyotes? What set up do you use?
Is a 308 too much gun for hunting coyotes? What set up do you use?
If you are looking to keep the hide its too much.
Oh ya, it's way to much gun for yotes. I use a 243, with 58 gr Hornady. That can be pretty brutal on hides as well. Guys in our group use 223, 22-250, 243 and 25-06. I started out with a Savage Axis, but found the bolt action to be way too slow for my liking. I have always used a pump rifle. The 223 rounds are about the easiest on your wallet as well !
Ontario has some caliber restrictions (.275 I believe) in some places.
.308 is a little much unless you can handload a varmint type round or use Hornady 110 TAP if you can get it.
Depending on where you live or more importantly,where you hunt in southern Ontario,the largest caliber we can use is 7MM (.275). Definitive restrictions are shown in the summary specifically listing those municipalities where firearm sizes are limited. Most of the townships rely on provincial regulations rather than their own by-laws,but,some haven't re-written by-laws in twenty-five years,so those laws still apply. Whether they're actively enforced by the by-law officers remains to be seen. Most don't. In northern areas,many require a separate license,however,larger caliber rifles can be used if hide retention isn't a concern.
Actually it's .275 cal restrictions down south. But some municipalities limit discharge to .243 cal.
Best to check local bylaw restrictions where you want to hunt. I don't understand the rationale for. .275 cal restrictions down south. In my opinion that's too heavy of a cal down here.
.270 as largest common calibre that most people would commonly see, but yes .275 is right. I think its ridiculous how a .223 can go for miles is fine yet a .30/30 which basically has the ballistics of a shot gun slug isnt allowed. In my opinion the size should have nothing to do with it.......
I was always told they eliminated thirty cal due to the 303 British and all surplus ammo being used to shoot everything including hydro insulators after the war
We mostly use 223's, although we have a few locations where shots could be in excess of 500 yards, I'll bring out my M700 LR setup in 308 for those days. The 223 just don't have the wallop past that range.
If hunting is a sport, than I'm an athlete.
