Who Controls the Means of Produsage?
Bruns, Axel (2008) Who Controls the Means of Produsage? Re-Public: Re-Imagining Democracy.
|PDF (43kB)
The conversation between Paul Hartzog and Trebor Scholz that frames this issue of Re-public begins with a discussion of whether the traditional critical focus on who owns the means of production still means anything in a networked world driven by user-led content creation, or what I would call produsage. What's curiously absent from the debate, though (and of the other authors included here, only Michel Bauwens engages with it in detail) is any consideration of who controls the means of distribution – a question which, I think, is crucial to any understanding of power structures in the social Web.

It was reassuring to know that the creator of those rarefied constructed reliefs which he claimed owed so much to Bach also liked the Rolling Stones; that the artist who embraced what could be seen by some as a cold and monastic art form was an ardent admirer of beautiful women, of whom many returned the compliment; that the craftsman who would stay up until all hours trying to perfect an idea to his own high standards, would lose as much sleep gambling; that the mind that so directly identified with the cerebral structures of Biederman and Mondrian revelled in the company of the young daughter born late in his life.
All these qualities, along with his professional attitude to his work, were imparted to students and colleagues alike at Chelsea School of Art. He left an irreplaceable gap in the school when he left.

Re: some Experience with webMathematica
Hi Yuri,
the problems are submitted to Wolfram research. Hopefully they will
do some coding to get the stuff running within this new (12 years old)
century. Meanwhile I got the information, that the original developer
of the Live3D-Java applet was dead. So the complete development has
droped down to zero. Often a project was connected to one person only
and if this person was gone, the project stops. I think, Wolfram must do
several cading/changes in the near future to get webMathematica

Come Close

|Single by Common featuring Mary J. Blige

|Mary J. Blige singles chronology
"Come Close" is a single by rapper Common featuring guest vocals by Mary J. Blige. The song is produced by Chad Hugo and Pharrell's production team, The Neptunes. Peaking at #65 on the Billboard Hot 100, "Come Close" is the only song from Common's 2002 album Electric Circus to make an appearance on the national music chart. It was released in conjunction with a promo video directed by Sanaa Hamri and Questlove of The Roots. The song's lyrics are a loving marriage proposition to Common's then girlfriend Erykah Badu. Jack LV Isles of Allmusic describes it as a "slow-paced dialogue [...] that borders on typical," but will inevitably be a commercial success.[1] Mark Anthony Neal of Pop Matters comments on its mainstream sound saying that it's not a "sell-out" track, just a "fly love song" in which The Neptunes "brought their A-game."[2]
Music video[edit]
In the video for the song, Common visits his girlfriend, a deaf-mute woman (although this is not mentioned in the song itself). As she looks outside of her window, Common raps the verses to the song, while using cardboard signs to communicate the meanings of the words to her. After the second verse, he eventually proposes with the lines "I'm tired of the fast lane, I want you to have my last name." His girlfriend gladly accepts and they then drive off.
In the woman's room, behind her bed, there is a poster written in sign language. If one looks closely, it spells out "COMMON".
This video was nominated at the MTV Video Music Awards 2003 for the MTV2 Award, but it lost to AFI's "Girl's Not Grey."
The main remix of this song is titled "Come Close (Remix) (Closer)." It features guest vocals by Erykah Badu, Pharrell and Q-Tip. Produced by J Dilla, it utilizes a sample of "Daylight" by RAMP. It was also remixed by German dance group Boozoo Bajou. This remix is about six minutes long and can be found on their 2003 album Remixes. In 2003, hip hop producer Blackbeard also remixed "Come Close" and released it as a single. In 2005, Dutch hip hop producer Nicolay remixed it for his album The Dutch Masters, Vol. 1. Skillz used the beat for the 2002 Rap Up.

Snip, Slice: The Urology Center That Offers Free Pizza With Every VasectomyBy
Go under the knife, get a slice. That's the March Madness-themed promotion from the Urology Associates of Cape Cod (UACC), which is offering a free pizza with every vasectomy scheduled by patients who visit one of its three clinics during the tournament. The $500-$700 surgery (which the association says is covered under most insurance plans) affords men the chance to have a safe method of sterilization—and a free pie from Surf's Up Pizza and Seafood in Sandwich, Mass. Bloomberg Businessweek talked to UACC urologist Dr. John Homa about the procedure, the promotion, and whether anyone who's just had their whoosit chopped really wants to eat a pizza.
Why did you decide to run this promotion?
I'm a big college basketball fan and I've seen other urology centers offer similar promotions. I've wanted to do this for some time and I thought March Madness would be a good excuse because a vasectomy requires several days of recuperation. Patients can go home, put their feet up, and watch basketball while they recover. I talked to our business department and this year we decided to do it.
Getting a vasectomy isn't something people do lightly. Will the pizza promotion result in impulse snips?
No, not at all. We've mostly been seeing people who've thought about getting a vasectomy for quite a while. Patients will often come in for a consultation and then disappear for a year only to come back and finally decide to have it done. The promotion targets the men who are secretly considering it. They'll see the pizza offer, the March Madness tie-in, and they'll come in. It's not like anyone's going to get a vasectomy just for the pizza.
Is the promotion working? Are more people coming in?
We've had a big increase in inquiries. Normally we'll schedule five consultations a week, but since we started this promotion a week ago we've had about 100. And these are patients who are serious about the procedure.
How many patients come in for a consultation and then actually go through with it?
In my experience it's about 75 percent or 80 percent. We always tell people to treat it as a permanent form of sterility, although it's true it can be reversed. Some doctors use a local anesthetic and do it in their office, but we actually do it at a surgical center and our patients are sedated. Reversing it is much more invasive because you're reconnecting two broken ends of a snipped vas deferens (the duct that carries sperm from a testicle during ejaculation). That requires a full operation under a microscope.
You're not supposed to eat anything before surgery, though. So when do they get their pizza?
When they schedule their operation, we give them a gift card for one large pizza with one topping from a local pizza place here called Surf's Up. They can eat it any time after the operation but we usually tell them to wait a few days—that's why we suggest they eat it while watching March Madness at home.

The final few corners of a thrilling last lap gave a delighted D'Aste a victory he surely could not have expected: in fourth place with only four corners remaining, D'Aste's BMW benefited from punctures to the front left tyre of both Chevrolet Cruzes of Yvan Muller and Robert Huff. Muller, the race leader, ran wide at turn 10, with a slightly surprised D'Aste then diving past both Tom Coronel and Huff at turn 12 to score his first WTCC victory and also the first for the Wiechers-Sport team. Muller eventually nursed his Chevrolet Cruze home in eighth place, with his team-mate Alain Menu failing to finish after sliding off the track on lap eight.
Behind D'Aste, Huff and Coronel, Pepe Oriola finished fourth, ahead of Norbert Michelisz and Mehdi Bennani.
There was drama even before the cars lined up on the grid, with the Lukoil Racing Team mechanics forced to work quickly in the short period between the races to repair Aleksei Dudukalo's damaged SEAT León. In the end, the repairs - to the car's right-hand driveshaft - were carried out within the time allowed and so the Russian driver could take his place on pole position.
Starting from eighth, ninth and 10th on the grid, the three factory Cruze cars quickly carved their way through the field so that, by the end of only the fourth lap, Muller led. Huff then moved into second place on the following lap, with Menu taking third place from Coronel on lap seven. It then looked as though the race was set to witness another Chevrolet 1-2-3 until the last-lap drama.
Start - Coronel i first into T1, ahead of D'Aste and Dudukalo
Lap 1 - Muller, Huff and Menu all pass Bennani
Lap 2 - Muller passesTarquini for 6th; Huff and Menu also pass Tarquini.
Lap 2 - Muller passes Monteiro for 5th
Lap 3 - Muller passes Oriola for 4th and then passed Dudukalo for 3rd
Lap 4 - Muller passes D'Aste for 2nd; to Huff passes D'Aste and Dudukalo for 3rd
Lap 4 - Muller passes Coronel to take the lead
Lap 5 - Huff passes Coronel for 2nd
Lap 6 - Huff attacks Muller, but Muller holds on to the lead
Lap 7 - Menu passes Coronel for 3rd; Monteiro goes off at T10
Lap 8 - Menu and MacDowall goes off at T9; Tarquini through the gravel at T13
Lap 9 - D'Aste attacks Coronel into T1, but Coronel holds on
Lap 11 - Michelisz passes Bennani for 6th
Lap 12 – Muller goes off into gravel at T10; D'Aste passes Coronel and Huff to take the win

- First, fans of one, for some reason feel like anyone who respects the other is putting their guy down. That is being immature and silly, two things at which sports fans frequently excel. And by the way I am guilty of this. While I like Manning, I feel the media in general favors him over Brady, and I am not a fan of certain commentators because of this.

He did more per touch than just about anyone. It was Carter that, more than anyone, led Bo to a more pro style offense. This led to a generation of Michigan QB's and receivers that were abundant in the NFL. If I had to vote between AC or Woodson, I honestly don't know which one I would choose. But I do know this.

I did not read the comments on AL.com because, as a matter of personal policy, I don't read the comments on AL.com (or anything on the Freep.) However, having lived in Alabama for over thirty years, I can assure you that most of those commenters did not go to Alabama. At best they went to Trailer Park State Technical and Cosmetology School for the Moronic. Look. I'm not pretending that Alabama grads aren't going to be hypocritical about Harbaugh's intentions. They will defend Saban to the death. But the vast majority of the true morons who support Alabama (e.g., most of the Finebaum callers) never came close to going to college there. Most of the graduates are passionate about their program like we are. There are some assholes, but mostly they are fans who love their program. The scary ones (e.g., tree poison types) are just redneck losers.

Guys, please listen to me on this. I haven't played football since high school in the 1970's. Most of you know more football than I do. But I have lived in Birmingham, Alabama, Finebaum's original home base since 1983. He and I are close to the same age. I know more about Finebaum than most of you do. When I came to Birmingham, I found him to be a talented, intentionally bombastic, but less of an Alabama slappy, sports columnist for one of Birmingham's two papers, He eventually went to radio. The longer he was on radio, the less he was about legitimate sports and more about growing his (largely redneck) audience. I quit listening to him at least a decade ago, His show for many years has been a combination of Jerry Springer and SEC fandom coming to you from the trailer park. Is he smarter than his audience? Yes. But he is all about getting rich with his schtick. There is no point in wating your time giving one shit about anything he says. If Jim Harbaugh were to, God forbid, replace Nick Saban (not happening, I'm making a point), he would suddenly become the fourth greatest person in history behind Jesus, Bear Bryant and Saban.
Finebaum is as useful as Sharp. Stop wasting your limited time on this earth giving a fiddler's fuck what he says.
End rant.

1 One option is to move to the charity sector to become a personal adviser for a national voluntary organisation that supports young people leaving care and is looking to attract professionals from different backgrounds, such as teaching. Meg would earn £27,453 as the adult supporter for a number of young people, helping them develop the practical and emotional skills they need to live on their own.
2 Youth work services are being transformed with the development of the new youth professional status, so it might be a good time to switch sectors. Meg could start off doing youth worker sessional work for a local authority, and then consider applying for a full-time job. She could go on to complete the youth professional status – a postgraduate-level award that aims to increase the professional standing of youth workers. An experienced senior youth worker can expect to earn up to £35,000.
3 With her background, Meg could work as an education officer in the museum service, helping a wide age range of people to realise their learning potential. She would help to develop the museum's education programme, and her knowledge of the national curriculum and schools' organisation are advantages. With experience, she could earn £30,000-£35,000.
4 Another option for Meg in the charity sector would be to help develop the outdoor educational package offered by a voluntary organisation that works with young people with disabilities, as well as those who are at risk of being excluded. Meg would be expected to support project workers and look for new opportunities for developing the service with schools and teachers. She would earn up to £28,000.
5 If Meg is interested in a complete career change, she might consider training to become a children and young people's social worker. The government has just launched a scheme to attract career-change professionals to join a work-based, fast-track scheme to become qualified social workers. She would be paid £15,000 a year while training, which takes 12-18 months. There is a national shortage of qualified social workers, so her future career options ought to be secure. Qualified social workers can earn from £23,500.

So thats why the Greens are regarded as a fringe party.
Gary looks like he could be easily teased. The Coalition thinks Gary needs straightening out.
Is it true that "Gary" (if that is his real name) and Brendan Nelson's hair have never been seen in the same room together?
Thank God Gary doesn't have short back and sides; otherwise it would be a prec-hair-ious situation.
There'll be hell toupee if the party doesn't get back to its roots.
Nice to see someone's noticed someone else has fished Warren Trussed out to announce a new and "exciting" train, today?
Shame the Mayor of London didn't take the opportunity to meet "Gary".
All well and good, but who'd win a race between Garry and a tortoise?
Bloody hell FD.
Offer me a Leadbeater's Possum and *I'll* happily seek asylum.
Come September the 8th it'll be me and the possum,
both heading to sea in a beautiful pea green boat.
paddy… stock up now for your trip, honey (not to mention £5 notes) may be in short supply if you and the possum don't qualify as an Oztralyan 'working family' and/or neither of you is pregnant.
Right you lot …
Scott, maintain Gary's bouffant style; (a) parting would be such sweet sorrow
Thanks for the tip PDGFD1
Hear that FD?
I'll be wanting a *pregnant* Leadbeater's Possum please.
Never let it be said, that I don't take endangered species (and my asylum seeker status) seriously.
PUNS at fifty paces and may the best person wince.
Is he Australian or a Merkin? Hard to tell from this angle.If you cut him does he bleed? if you scratch him does he become aroused?
I take it your protestations of love were false, and I shall soon be 'traded in' for a marsupial.
Just when the long-awaited pea-green boat was becoming a reality..
(should've expected as much from a Dogonaut)
OMFG! One way or 'tother, it could be argued that this is one of the greatest collection of puns ever assembled, or I've just flipped my wig… But that would just be splitting hairs…
Andybob and EMC have my vote
You couldn't tie it up in a chignon, but Gary is hil-hair-iously enough to get by with.
Thank you Venise for the thought. (I modelled hil-hair-iously on prec-hair-ious, a poor imitation but flattery.)

I recently interviewed Clare Waters, managing director of Brenntag UK and wrote up an article on the group's growth aspirations. Yesterday's report makes me wonder what the impact of this investigation will be on the wider Brenntag group in CEE and elsewhere.
Here is the report in full:
German Bundeskartellamt expands antitrust investigations
According to reliable sources, the Bundeskartellamt "BK" sent early June a detailed questionnaire to over 100 German distributors requesting them to release promptly information about the links existing between Brenntag, Chemische Verein Hannover "CVH" and CG Chemikalien "CG".
This new extended investigation deals mostly with market dominance issues and risks of abuse of dominant position. Previously, the BK focused its investigations on alleged antitrust infringements on the limited industry sector of commodity chemicals.
In addition, each listed distributor is requested to describe thoroughly their business activities and results in the sectors where they are involved as well as the participations they hold in other distribution companies.
Through this unprecedented move, the "BK" is expected to gain full market knowledge and transparency in order to be able to complete their on-going investigations on antitrust, merger control and market dominance issues.
Of course there is no suggestion they have done anything wrong, but it must be inducing a sense of nervousness across the group. They will be worried about how long the investigation will go on for and whether customers will become nervous. It is always un-nerving when something like this blows up. It will certainly be the talk of the town at the FECC distribution conference in Helsinki in a few weeks!
Brenntag has a big operation in CEE under the leadership of Helmut Struger who has expanded it agressively organically and through acquisitions.

A Lee's Summit City Council vote is scheduled for expansion to a proposed Hy-Vee convenience store on Langsford Road, a store which was hotly debated because of its possible impact on traffic.
The council at its meeting Feb. 6 will consider a preliminary development plan for the store at 920 Langsford Road, on the site of a former nursery. A Hy-Vee grocery is nearby.
The council approved a plan for the store with 16 gasoline pumps in 2012, with certain stipulations for improving Langsford, but Hy-Vee now is asking to add more square footage and a drive-through coffee shop.
A city staff report says "improvements previously recommended and approved by the council would be sufficient for the plan," according to the earlier traffic study and a supplemental analysis of the plan.
Also on the agenda is a public hearing for the Lakewood Business Park Urban Renewal Area. That area, proposed by the Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority, would allow the authority to give redevelopment projects tax incentives.
Businesses in that area had asked the LCRA to create the district.

New from Nebraska
Greetings! I'm currently in the process of buying my first home and figured it was a good time to join and get some advice/project ideas. Having lived in apartments for the last eight years I haven't had the chance to do much home projects, but am relatively competent and am always wrenching away in the garage working on my cars.
Here's a couple pictures of the place. I move in later this month:

Some of the world's most elegant architecture originated in
Greece, where you can still see ancient Greek columns today in a variety of Greek temples and public buildings that were constructed hundreds of years before the common era. The Greeks developed the three most popular forms of classical columns that are still used today for everything from stately public buildings to comfortable private homes.
Doric columns represent the most basic of Greek columns. These are also often perceived as sturdier, more "masculine" columns than some of the later styles. A Doric column was simply a fluted column with a capital (the top part of the column) that was usually a circle topped with a square plinth. These columns rested directly on the floor of the building without a base to support them.
Over the years, Greek architecture became a bit more elaborate. Around 500
BCE, the Greek Ionic column became popular. This style of column tended to be taller and more slender than a Doric column. It retained the fluted shaft, but placed it on a base that were usually stacked circles, sometimes on top of a square bottom section. The capital of on Ionic column featured a detail that resembled a rolled scroll placed face down on the top of the column so that the rolled ends curled down on either side. These scrolls are often referred to as "volutes."
Greek columns continued to evolve and become more elaborate over time. One style that never gained much popularity and has fallen into disuse today is the Aeolic column, which was more elaborate than an Ionic column but not quite as embellished as the Corinthian column that came later.
The last of the three major styles of Greek columns was the Corinthian, named after the region in which is first became popular. These were fluted like all other styles of Greek columns and retained the Ionic base, but had ornately crafted capitals that featured leaves and flowers in a stacked rows that curved outward from the center of the column. Interestingly, Corinthian columns usually supported a flat roof while Doric and Ionic columns usually held up a pitched roof with a triangular edifice.
The most elaborately detailed of the Greek columns, Corinthian columns were also the most slender in proportion to their height, usually using a ratio of the height being between nine and ten times the diameter of the lower shaft.
Today, homeowners can use any type of Greek column they prefer to enhance their homes both inside and out. The proportions tend to remain similar to those used in ancient columns, but the details of the base, shaft and capital can be designed to your specific tastes and needs. Decorative Greek columns can be used to add a touch of classical detail to a large room while dividing the space visually, or you can support a porch or patio with Greek columns that are weight bearing. The ancient Greeks developed the three main styles of Greek column known today because they were durable and beautiful. Today, architects and homeowners continue to agree that these lovely Greek columns are a perfect addition to any design.

We met up with my mom in Nicarauga, and made a speedy path through the country. We might have lingered longer, but our C-4 visa which covers Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua was just about expired after our lengthy stay in Utila, Honduras. We had to get to Costa Rica to reset it, but even so, we left the Nicaragua on the last possible day, taking in as much as we could.
Nicaragua Summary:
Length of Stay: 16 days
Average Cost per Day for Two People: $31.80 CAD
Cities Visited: 7
Distance Traveled: 779 km in 12 automobiles and 2 boats
Days Sick: 0 for Ashley, 1 for Mike
Number of Items Lost: 0
Biggest Tourist Traps: The beach at San Juan del Sur was full of touts hawking everything from jewellry and sunglasses to wooden bowls
Exchange Rate: $1 CAD = 23 Cordobas
For more great stats, check out our statistics page!
Our Route:
Managua – León – Las Peñitas – Granada – Isla de Ometepe (Moyogalpa, Merida) – San Juan del Sur
- Seeing my mom!!!
- Full moon lava hike at León
- Beautiful sunset walks at Las Peñitas
- Fried yuca at the market in Granada
- International Poetry Festival in Granada
- The food at Hacienda Merida on Isla de Ometepe (it was exceptionally tasty, and expensive to match. The alternatives were likewise cheap, and not so delicious)
- The "typico" Nicaraguan meal from a mall food court in Managua… should have known better
- We couldn't stay in Granada long enough to experience more than a night of the International Poetry Festival
- Nicaragua didn't enamour us the same way as other Central American countries have – probably because we had to move too quick to let it
- Nicaragua is supposed to be the poorest country in Central America, but we didn't really get that impression… there were a lot of cars everywhere we went.
- We had heard Nicaragua would be cheap. While the prices were definitely reasonable, it wasn't as cheap as we were expecting.
Lessons Learned:
- Travelling quickly through a country makes it difficult to fall in love with a place. We easily could have spent more time at nearly every town we were in, but were limited by our visas.
- Always reapply sunscreen after playing in the surf. Ouch!
Nicaragua Journal – Where Did We Spend Our Time?
Managua – 1 night
We didn't really see much of this place… it was just a meeting point with Mom and Terry.
León – 2 nights
León was a beautiful city with lots to see and do. We took a tour of the Cathedral, wandered around an art gallery, and explored a strange folklore museum housed in a former prison. The highlight of our time here was the full moon lava viewing hike on Volcan Telica which we did with Quetzaltrekkers.
Las Peñitas – 2 nights
This quiet black sand resort beach was a great place to relax after our all night hike. We napped, swam, and walked the beach at sunset.
Granada – 3 nights
Granada was probably our favourite city we visited. We joined Mom and Terry for a horse and carriage tour of the beautiful city, explored the graveyard where the first president of Nicaragua can be found, wandered the parks, went to a chocolate museum and caught the start of the International Poetry Festival. We watched the performance of Nobel Prize winning poet Carlos Martinez Rivas' work and took in the free Katia Cardena concert. Mom and Terry did a boat tour of Las Isletas, while we wondered the city getting Mike's glasses fixed.
Moyogalpa, Isla de Ometepe – 1 night
This town was where the ferry dropped us off. It was almost sunset when we arrived, so we decided to stay the night before moving on.
Merida, Isla de Ometepe – 3 nights
We stayed at a hacienda just outside this small town. The location was beautiful, but food options were limited. The hacienda had stellar food, but a small and expensive menu. Some of the best food we had here came from the Valentine's Day festival in town, which included some bull riding. We went horseback riding to San Ramon waterfall, walked to some Petroglyphs, learned how to make tortillas and hung out in the hammocks at the hacienda.
San Juan del Sur – 4 nights
This was a touristy beach town. We played in the waves until our blistery sunburns kept us out of the sun. Spent some time relaxing, reading, visiting with Mom and Terry, and catching up on the blog.
For more of our Nicaragua pictures, check out our gallery.
6 Responses to "Nicaragua Roundup"
I already tought that we have seen you somewhere, Ashley's face looked so familiar. It must have been in Granada because we were also there during the Poet festival. So funny I accidently found your blog. Our trip is almost finished but you're still welcome to stay with us in Holland. 🙂
Thinking of renting four months on or by the beach in Nicaragua. What, in your opinion, is your favourite spot/beach/town?
Want the real flavour of the country as far as rental housing.
Close to an enchanting town/city.
Thanks in advance. Good travels.
I am a single women and will be 60 by the time I go, so living in a remote town/city is not ideal for me. I am sure you understand. Do you know, and have you been to the beaches along the Atlantic side? Can you give me any recommendations?

Washington • President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel mounted a display of trans-Atlantic unity Friday against an assertive Russia, even as sanctions imposed by Western allies seemed to be doing little to change Vladimir Putin's behavior toward Ukraine.
Days after the United States and the European Union slapped Moscow with a new round of sanctions, Merkel arrived at the White House for meetings and a working lunch with Obama. The German chancellor came buoyed by a decisive re-election victory late last year but facing pressure from all sides as Europe seeks to show resolve against Russia on Ukraine without harming its own economic interests.

NYC's New Vision for its City Streets
Last week the Bloomberg administration released New York City's first street design manual in an effort to rethink the current car dominated landscape in favor of a plan that considers alternative modes of transportation and pedestrian-friendly public spaces. The guidelines are a culmination of nearly two years of research and are meant to reflect a push for greater sustainability in our urban centers, both in terms of environmental concerns and community interactions. In addition to providing a new vision for the city's streets, the initiative hopes to streamline the design process – currently a typical street can involve multiple city agencies working on specific aspects from light poles to awnings that ultimately slow progress and lead to inefficiencies.
Though drivers might feel otherwise, the plan certainly marks a welcome departure from the utilitarian design of the city implemented by Robert Moses:
"Moses had a sort of utopian view of orderly, suburban places that de-emphasized New York's 'cityness,' while Bloomberg embraces the soul of the city itself and recognizes it as a solution to the region's environmental, sustainability, and energy problems," said Robert Puentes, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Policy Program.
One such initiative is The Broadway Pilot Program that eliminates automobile traffic from two sections along Broadway, in Times Square between 42nd and 47th and in Herald Square between 33rd and 35th streets. The radical new design for the heart of Midtown went into effect on Sunday. Gothamist reports on some of the public's reactions and compiles some photos from the day.

Teachers, Authors, Speakers, Writers And Experts!
Copy My Blogging System To Sell Your Online Course. Follow My Step-By-Step Blueprint, Updated For 2017
A few months ago I contacted Steve Pavlina about doing an interview. At the time he was too busy but recently he agreed to participate and today I have the first part for you.
Steve is a self development expert who largely has risen to fame through blogging (his blog is at StevePavlina.com/blog/). Personally I am big believer and executor of self development and Steve is definitely a leader in this field. I have found many of his articles and podcasts to be helpful with my own self development. I'm also impressed by what he has achieved by blogging good content day-in and and day-out. His traffic numbers in the millions of pageviews per month. Of course there is a good reason for this, his materials are powerful resources to help people become, well, better people.
When Steve agreed to be interviewed I wanted to ask some interesting questions. I didn't want Steve to simply rehash what he has already covered in his blog or ask questions that would result in one-line answers. I decided to ask you, my readers, for input and the results can be found here – Your Questions For An Upcoming Interview With Steve Pavlina. I used what I thought were the most interesting questions, came up with some of my own and then sent them through to Steve.
I came up with some pretty deep questions (as Steve commented) and in typical Steve Pavlina style he's gone to work and answered with solid insights. Also in typical Steve style they are not short answers, but when it comes to topics such as these you can't brush over them with a single sentence.
I have taken Steve's interview and broken it down into three sections which will go live on my blog this week.
Without further ado I give you an interview with Steve Pavlina, self development teacher and blogger.
by Yaro Starak
Thanks for inviting me to do this interview, Yaro. You and your readers asked some very deep questions.
1. Who Is Steve Pavlina?
For people who have never heard of you Steve, can you please provide a short rundown on who Steve Pavlina is and what we can learn from you?
Funny, that's a question I often ask myself. Each time the answer is a bit different.
Among other labels that apply, I'm a 34-year-old internet entrepreneur, and I currently run one of the most popular personal development web sites on the Internet, StevePavlina.com. All of the site's content is free for visitors. I have no products, no customers, no inventory, no employees, and no sales. Yet I make a pretty decent living from the site, in addition to other streams of (mostly passive) income.
Despite having read about 700 books in the field of personal development, I'm a very experiential, hands-on person. I like to dive in and try new things to see what produces results and what's really just a waste of time. Through my web site I promote an action-oriented, experiential approach to personal development. I also warn people up front not to expect any quick fixes.
Your visitors might like to know that I make a nice living without having a job. I'm not really self-employed either because I don't trade my time for money. I have no hourly rate. I put technology to work for me, setting up systems like my web site that generate income 24/7. This is actually more secure than any job I know of, since I can't be fired or laid off, and if a computer breaks down, it's easily replaceable.
Like many of your visitors, I don't want to spend so much of my life working just to pay the bills. I feel that we live in an age where intelligent, computer-savvy people should be able to use technology to generate all the income they need in a mostly passive manner. Most of my income is a result of taking advantage of cheap computing power. My preferred method is to create intellectual property. It might take me a few hours to write a new article, but I only have to write it once. If I post that article on my web site, it can be read by thousands of people around the world without costing me anything. That's where the long-term value delivery occurs. My up-front time investment is fixed, but the long-term value delivery is ongoing because people are still reading articles I've written years ago. I earn income by receiving just a small payment for that ongoing value, much less than the value itself. This includes advertising revenue, donations, and affiliate income.
This is a very sustainable business model because I consistently deliver more value to people than I receive in return (most people don't pay me anything at all), but it's still more than enough income to live off. Right now I'm grossly undermonetizing my web site. But for me this is a good thing because it means there's plenty of room for optimization. If I want to increase my income, I can keep providing more of the same, or I can find ways to receive just a little more of that value in return. For example, I can turn some of my content into a book and sell it. There are lots of ways to repackage the existing value and get paid a fair price for it. This business model leaves me with a feeling of abundance instead of a feeling of scarcity. I could enjoy a nice income for years just from the content I've already produced.
By unplugging from the tyranny of regular employment, I enjoy a ridiculous amount of freedom. This allows me to spend the bulk of my time working on what I choose to do, not what I have to do. I choose to work on personal growth, to help others grow, and to "have a life.†Sometimes I'll spend an entire week just reading, meditating, philosophizing, and then writing about any insights I've had. And best of all, I get paid for it.
Perhaps the best way to know me is to understand that I strive to live as consciously as possible. I am completely fascinated with life. Why are we here? What is the nature of the universe? How shall we live? I want to spend my life finding answers to these questions instead of making widgets.
2. How To Deal With Apathy
One of the main reasons I believe people fail to achieve what they want in life is because of apathy. Often a path to success is presented, yet the individual fails to take (enough) action to reach desired outcomes. What can people who consistently fail to take action do to beat apathy?
This is a complex question that will take a bit of time to answer, so please excuse the monstrous verbiage. 🙂
Long-term apathy is a result of confusing perception and creation. People who are consistently apathetic think they are passively perceiving reality when in fact they are actually creating it.
Let me 'splain.
If you're feeling apathetic, you may be looking at your reality and noticing that nothing inspires you. Everything appears flat and lifeless. What's the point of this existence? Perhaps it's just about survival, and mere survival isn't going to leave you overflowing with passion. You're more likely to feel bored or depressed. You might have occasional bursts of positive emotion, but that won't be your default state of being.
What you must understand is that there is no such thing as passive perception. All perception is a form of creation. You may think that you're merely perceiving and interpreting external reality, but in fact you are simultaneously creating it. Your apathetic thoughts are creating your experience of reality, such that all you perceive is an apathetic universe.
Imagine a person wearing glasses with red lenses. The world may be full of blue, but those glasses will create the perception of red everywhere. The person will be unable to perceive the color blue accurately. Similarly, if you perceive a world that leaves you feeling empty or depressed, it's because you're wearing the glasses of apathy or depression. You may have been wearing those glasses for so long that you forgot they're on your face right now. You've been assuming that your perceptions of reality are accurate when of course they're permanently tainted by your glasses. Your apathetic glasses ensure that you continue to receive apathy-producing inputs from your environment.
Apathetic thoughts create the experience of an apathy-producing universe. As within, so without.
So what's the solution? The solution is to take off the glasses of apathy, and them stomp on them until they're broken.
Recognize that apathetic thoughts are in fact creative and not merely perceptive. Most people never make this realization in their entire lives, but those that understand it gain the ability to solve problems they never could before. Once you understand that your seemingly perceptive thoughts are actually creative, you gain the ability to choose what you wish to create. If you decide to remove the glasses of apathy, you will soon begin perceiving colors you've never seen before. You'll begin to see purpose and meaning everywhere. You could be all alone staring off into space, and it will be an experience rich in purpose and meaning. You'll live in a state of utter fascination with life.
Perhaps the simplest way to remove the glasses of apathy is via the power of intention. Simply say to the universe, "Show me what lies beyond the glasses of apathy.†Put some thought energy into that intention, and expect that it will manifest. Then let it go, and wait. Usually without about 24-48 hours, you'll begin to have experiences that are incongruent with your glasses of apathy, and the lenses will start to crack. The downside is that in terms of levels of consciousness, the next step up from apathy is sadness, and beyond that… fear and anger. So the path out of apathy is likely to progress through negative emotions before you're able to feel positive and inspired. If you start feeling bad, that's actually a step in the right direction. You will pull out of it soon enough.
I believe the greatest challenge we face as human beings is to learn how to use our consciousness. All conscious thought is creative. Whenever you think you're perceiving the world, stop and consider for a moment that you may in fact be creating it. Perception and creation are intricately intertwined. If you think you aren't creating, then recognize that you just had a thought to create the experience of not creating, which itself is a creative thought. So there's no escaping it.
Most human beings abuse the power of consciousness by denying their creative participation in life. It's like being a god who uses his powers to make himself powerless. If you say, "Let me be powerless,†you lose your powers. Once you do that, you can't simply restore your powers by saying, "Let me be powerful again.†You've already nuked your powers, so you no longer have access to the switch to turn them back on again. The rebuilding process takes time. A significant part of being human is to find our way back to that power switch.
There was a time in my early 20s when I felt completely apathetic about life. It was hard for me just to get out of bed in the morning, and I often didn't get up until 2-3pm. It took me many years to gradually understand how my own thoughts were creating my life, when all along I assumed I was just perceiving reality and then reacting to the cards I was dealt. I never suspected that I was the one stacking the deck.
If you're feeling apathetic, you're not broken. Based on what you're perceiving, a feeling of apathy is actually the correct response. The mistake is failing to recognize that you're the one creating the apathetic reality in the first place. Your outer experience is a projection of your internal state.
If you have an accurate model of reality, then what emotional state will you experience? Should you expect to feel emotionally neutral? No, if you're feeling neutral, then your model of reality is still inaccurate. You're just wearing the glasses of neutrality instead of apathy. If your perception of reality is accurate, then the default emotional state you'll experience would be best described as the state of joy – a feeling of intense, pervasive happiness. Why? Because when you recognize that your thoughts are creative, you'll consciously choose to create joy.
It was sometime in 2005 that I finally "got it†at a deep enough level and recognized that consciousness gives me the freedom to create my own inner experience at all times, and my inner reality projects outward into the world and then feeds back into my perceptions. From that point onward, I began experiencing an intense feeling of happiness. At first it came in brief bursts lasting up to a few hours. I just began feeling absolutely incredible, without there being any external stimulus to trigger it. But after several months, a feedback loop was eventually created, such that the state of joy locked in permanently and never switched off. That feeling is still with me 24/7.
Joy runs deeper than any normal emotion. It's like a persistent background hum in my consciousness. It's like listening to music in the background while I do other tasks. The music is always playing, but I can choose to focus on it directly and experience it fully, or I can tune it out and do other things. When I first started experiencing this state of joy, I frequently found it overwhelming. I'd be going for my morning run, making dinner, or doing some other everyday task, and out of nowhere I'd feel an intense surge of happiness such that tears would literally stream down my face. It was like someone came up and injected me with something, but of course no drugs were involved.
Eventually I found the volume knob and was able to regain control. Now if I want to experience joy, all I need to do is to ask myself, "Where is the joy?†I tap into the feeling that's already there and focus my intention on it, and that intensifies the feeling. I can feel it right now as I type this. But if I want to turn down the volume, I just focus my attention on something else, such as my breathing.
I still experience negative emotions from time to time, especially frustration, but when I recognize that I'm creating those feelings, I turn my attention back to the joy by asking, "Where is the joy?†And soon the feeling of joy burns off the negative feelings and comes to the forefront. It's like turning up the music volume until it drowns out all other sounds.
Living in this state has had a profound effect on me. I don't need any material possessions or any externally measurable success to be happy. I work from a state of happiness, not for it. I don't feel like I'm extracting joy from experiences. Rather it feels like I'm injecting joy into them. The joy is this outward-flowing, ever-present awareness.
I very much want to help others achieve this state because it's so empowering. But it's not remotely easy to get to this point. There are vast expanses of conscious development that have to be crossed first. It took many years of working on my growth, which included a great deal of struggle and frustration. I don't expect anyone reading this who feels apathetic to say, "Oh duh. I'll just think the way Steve does.†But perhaps reading this will plant a seed in your consciousness that will get you moving in the direction of joy.
3. Making A Difference
I know you receive a lot of positive feedback from your audience. Can you share the single most powerful piece of feedback you have received?
Perhaps the most impactful piece of feedback I received was a letter from a man telling me that my blog had saved his life. He said he was suicidal and had actually made the decision to kill himself. While searching online for the best way to do it, he stumbled upon my web site and started reading. He said he read for 6-7 hours straight. And by the time he was done, he no longer had any desire to take his own life.
After reading this letter, I felt an intense surge of gratitude. I feel very lucky that I'm in a position where I can have this kind of impact on people. I also feel a deep sense of responsibility to do my very best, knowing that for some people, it actually is a matter of life and death.
This is a fairly dramatic example, but it goes to show that writing from your heart can do more than just help people manage their inbox.

Great work Yaro, The man, the myth, the legend in the blogosphere, Steve Pavlina. It's always interesting to here how and why others are doing what they do.
Add to that some self help for the rest of us and some motivaitonal responses to your questions, and theat equates to a useful interview.
I can't wait to read the next one.
Thanks for putting this interview together, Yaro. I'm also a fan of Steve's work. This past November, when I was starting my blog and podcast, I discovered Steve's podcast (and blog). I knew much of what I could accomplish and what I needed to do, but he inspired me to go with it, to start down that road. His experience tells me it is possible to find what I seek. And it continues to inspire.
Good job Yaro.
This business model leaves me with a feeling of abundance instead of a feeling of scarcity. I could enjoy a nice income for years just from the content I've already produced.
What you must understand is that there is no such thing as passive perception. All perception is a form of creation. You may think that you're merely perceiving and interpreting external reality, but in fact you are simultaneously creating it.
This is Steve Pavlina at his best.
Looking forward to Part 2!

Great interview. I had not heard of Steve before.
I checked out his site. I will make him a regular stop based on content.
However, while he describes his site as under monetized – it is almost exclusively Googlized. I am not criticizing Steve or anyone who uses Google… it is everywhere and seemingly innocuous. I too had considered Google as part of my revenue plan. However, I am reluctant to succumb because they sold out free speech for profit in their deal with China.
What about the personal development and personal freedoms of chinese citizens? It is a delemna for me. I will struggle to choose the right thing and not support repression by not becoming part of the Google jaugernaut. I will also write them to let them know.
But I am a tiny plankton in this internet ocean. I mean nothing to them. What about the heavy hitters. Would Google listen to them? Would Google reconsider?

Steve Pavlina's content on his website inspired me to start a site and start making money at it.
Pavlina also was doing a polyphasic sleeping pattern (sleeping 1.5 hours in a 24 hour period through taking 6 15 minutes naps around the clock) which I was on for 273 day and the second time around, I evolved this through trial and error of only sleep 45 minutes through taking a 15 minute nap during the day and two fifteen minute naps during the night.
I follow about ever 1,000 blogs through RSS feed and 75 through email feed and for some reason Yaro's words and Steve's words have the most impact on me.
Thank you Yaro for being who you are and doing what you do. 🙂

Your lucky yours worked fine, mine just won't connect to mobile app... Plus it asks to update firmware. When I do, my camera stays stuck in upgrade mode for more than 1-1/2h when it is suppose to take 15 min max. I contacted twice Liquid image about it and they ansered me to get more info on the problem but did not provide any solution... They just told me to reset the camera. So I have a nice camera with wi-fi feature that are useless because it won't connect to my phone and an out of date firmware that can't be update plus crappy customer service. I'm really impress...
Since seeing is believing, here are 2 vids I just did with that same EGO cam.
Go it 3 weeks ago and love it.
WIFI function works great with the iphone app.

Welcome aboard.
My understanding of the 304 leads me to believe the head has an almost ideal cross sectional area for the valves it comes with. What this means in terms of porting the heads, is you need not remove any large amount of material to get good results. This also means that you likely do not need any carbide cutters, period. Instead, I would plan on using sanding rolls (both tapered and straight) and you need not go any finer than 80 grit- this means you do not need to polish the ports, especially not on the intake side. If you wanted, you could go to a finer finish on the exhaust side, but IMO it's really not necessary.
I would concentrate on smoothing and removing any casting "flash" or irregularities, and on the valve seat to bowl transition- there is almost always a pronounced lip created by the machining of the seat. Avoid hitting the seats w/the tooling you use! If you do any work to the combustion chamber, use old valves to protect the seats. Then streamline the shape around the valve guide, but
do not
shorten it. Be sure the intake-to-head port openings are in alignment, but do not "bell mouth" the ports to make this happen, as is often the case when "gasket matching" is done. That only serves to disrupt the flow as it hits the bulge- which slows the flow velocity- and stacks up the flow behind it, creating less rather than more flow. There are tutorials here and elsewhere (use the search function) that shows how to properly mate the two openings w/o creating any unnecessary bulge.
If this is not news to you, disregard it- there's a large variation in experience among the membership here, and there's no way to know offhand what you come into this with, experience-wise.
Good luck.

The Dad Band, an Indiana amateur jazz quintet, got its start doing gigs for kids in classrooms.
Now, to commemorate its 10th anniversary, the group has teamed up with the Indiana Arts Council to organize Indiana's first Westsylvania Jazz and Blues Festival, which will bring national headliners to IRMC Park on May 24.
"We're really proud of the small-town atmosphere that we have here, but bringing a jazz festival brings that element of a large city just for a day, just for a little bit, the things that you would go to Pittsburgh for," said Dave Ferguson, bass player in The Dad Band. "If we can bring some of that to Indiana, it basically rounds out the whole experience for everybody."
The free, outdoor festival on North Seventh Street will serve not only to bring local and national jazz musicians of all ages to Indiana, but also to generate business and educate people so they have an appreciation for jazz.
Members of The Dad Band haven't forgotten the days of performing for their children at day care. Education is a big part of their mission. As a way to incorporate this educational aspect into the festival, they have reached out to area high school band directors to put together an "all-star band of students from around the county," Ferguson said.
The festival is to be a multigenerational event.
"Jazz in general is America's musical art form," Ferguson said. "It's a style of music that was invented and perfected in the United States. And I think it's absolutely crucial that we do as much as we can to raise awareness and interest in jazz in America and to make sure that we expose young people to this type of music."
Another important mission of the festival is to bring people in from out of town to generate business.
According to Indiana Arts Council Executive Director Rebecca Slak, a recent study shows that the arts industry in America generates more money than tourism.
"The arts industry is a massive economic engine," Slak said. "When we use that to our benefit, we benefit our whole community, benefit the local merchants, business owners and other community members."
Rather than having vendors line North Seventh Street, the festival's steering committee wants out-of-towners to visit Indiana shops and restaurants.
To encourage this, The Dad Band saxophonist Michael Powers said he plans to work with downtown bars and restaurants to host after-hours gigs starting at 9 p.m. after the festival.
The idea for the Westsylvania Jazz and Blues Festival came about in the summer when Powers approached the Indiana Arts Council as it was simultaneously trying to plan a bigger event for the town.
"Our board of directors had just finished strategic planning, and one of the objectives that came out of that strategic planning was to create and/or support outdoor music and arts events," Slak said. "And so, here was this other group of community folks coming to us."
As of Jan. 15, the steering committee, which is mostly made up of The Dad Band and Indiana Arts Council members, had raised enough money through the Kickstarter program to make sure the festival is a go.
Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform that helped the committee run an online campaign to raise its minimum funding goal of $6,000. The program was an all-or-nothing deal, though, because if the committee hadn't achieved its goal on deadline, all of the money would have been refunded to those who donated.
A few days before deadline, the committee achieved its goal and received $6,188 from 83 backers, according to Slak.
"We had people donate from Massachusetts, Florida and everywhere in between," Powers said.
In addition to the Kickstarter program, the committee also received funds from the Pennsylvania Department of the Arts, Lively Arts at IUP and a sponsorship from Michael B Shoes.
"We are getting a great level of support, locally, regionally and at the state level," Slak said. "We couldn't really ask for more."
The $6,000 will go toward a budget to bring in big-name bands and headliners, who will be announced in March, Powers said.
However, the committee is still in fundraising mode and would like to raise an additional $1,500 to reach a comfortable zone.
"We're looking for those larger donors who can already see there's a large base of support," Ferguson said.
Every dollar the committee receives from sponsors will go toward getting more or better musicians, according to Powers.
In the meantime, the committee plans to hold a few events throughout the spring to raise awareness of the festival. The Artists Hand Gallery will host Downtown Jam Sessions from 6 to 8 p.m. on the second Thursday of every month. These sessions were scheduled to begin Feb. 13, but the first session was canceled due to Thursday's snowstorm.
The next session will take place March 13. Community members of all ages are invited to come by to perform with other jazz musicians or to stop by for a listen.
"We're hoping to see everyone from junior high and high school students to college to professionals play together once a month to lead up to the festival," Powers said.
