how do i read this infographic: for example has chicago's rent index jumped .9% in the last year, or has jumped 7% in the last year??
At the bottom of the infographic, there is a key which explains how to read it based on the size and color of the circle. So, in your example, Chicago has jumped 7%+ in the past year. Hope this helps!
Great graphic! I'm in the Philadelphia area so this should definitely get some of these buyers off the fence.
No problem @e3bd71f29185337b5251becd8cccfdc6:disqus! If there's anything else we can do to help you get even more buyers off the fence, feel free to let us know.

It was true, long ago, when diesel engines were large, heavy, slow turning, and low powered. The idea that diesel engine can have an expected life expectancy of many thousands hours is patently untrue today. The average life expectancy of a marine diesel engine in a pleasurecraft is somewhere around 1500 hours between major overhauls. Double that if used frequently or in a non-continuous use commercial application (like we would be doing). If this surprises you, it may surprise you even more when I tell you that gas engines average around 900 hours before overhauls.
Diesel engines gained the reputation for long service life early on in the history of the engines, and mainly from engines that were used in commercial operations. These were big, very slow turning engines, usually in the 600 to 1,000 RPM range. Obviously, not only is an engine running at that speed turning four times slower than an engine at 2400 RPM, but the heat generated and the strain is a great deal less.
Then we hear about how long truck engines last. Well, there's a whole lot of difference between a load that is rolling on wheels and a hull that is pushing tons and tons of water aside. Even though truck diesels turn faster, they have a lot less load on them, so they also last longer, mainly due to continuous operation. Then there are companies like Stuart-Stephenson who take stock diesel engines and micro tune them by essentially remanufacturing them to extraordinary tolerances, for use in such applications as power generators. These engines can have service lives as long as 60 - 80,000 hours. But that again is because they are operating continuously under constant loads.
The long service life of the diesel is not a myth when used in its proper application; its only a myth in boats where engines are operated intermittently, infrequently, at high and low speeds, and usually under very heavy loads and adverse conditions.
There is a direct relationship between service life and the weight of engine blocks and cylinder heads. The heavier, or thicker the castings, the longer they will last. That's one of the reasons why older engines just seem to go and go, while we often refer to the engines of recent years as "throwaways."
The problem with light castings is a problem of both strength and heat distribution. Diesel engines, with their 350-550 lb. internal cylinder compression, develop tremendous heat within the cylinders and heads. When castings heat up they expand, and when casting thickness are unequal, this can lead to cracking. It follows then, that the thinner the casting, the weaker it is, and therefore more prone to heat distortion and cracking.
This has been one of the major problems of trying to adapt light weight automotive engines to marine use. Because the loads are much greater, more heat is generated, and therefore more distortion of the castings occur. And when distortion occurs, the close tolerances of the moving internal parts such as crankshaft, bearings and journals, rods, pistons and cylinder walls goes out of whack. The end result is an early demise of the engine. Therefore the move to adapt high speed, light weight small truck engines to marine use results in an engine with a decidedly shorter service life. One of the most common problems that we see with light engines is the frequent cracking of cylinder heads, which is the first place that designers seek to reduce weight.
Another reason why high performance, light weight diesels don't last long is related to over-fueling. When you take an automotive engine that doesn't require as much power to push its load, and increase its power output, you do so by increasing the amount of fuel and air. This not only creates much more heat, but it has yet another side-effect: the increased fuel injected into the cylinder washes away the lubricating oil on the cylinder walls. This is true of both gas and diesel engines. The primary cause of all high performance engine failure is related to the pistons. This is closely followed by failures in the valve train, which is greatly stressed by increased heat and stress. To overcome these problems, these automotive engine systems must be completely redesigned. Unfortunately, they often are not.
Why not? You have to understand that the marine engine market is a rather limited market that doesn't generate the kind of revenues that the automotive market does. Over the years, this has been a universal problem for marine engines of all kinds, namely that the marine conversions simply don't go far enough to account for the differing service loads. And with the push to produce more efficient and clean-running diesels, the problem of marine conversions promises only to get worse, not better.
Internal displacement is the best measure of an engine's ability to deliver power efficiently. And the ratio of CID to horse power (divide CID by engine HP) is the simplest measure of how much service life can be expected. The inviolable rule for service life is that the more power is squeezed from an engine block, the shorter it's life span. A 350 CID block generating 260 HP is going to last a whole lot longer than the same block putting out 350 HP, whether its gas or diesel. That's why the old 6-71 Detroit Diesel will run darn near forever at 265 HP from 465 CID, but self-destruct in 6-800 hours at 450 HP. A ratio of 1:2 is about ideal for a marine engine, but at 80% to 90% at least yield reasonable service life of 2,000 hours if well maintained. At 1:1 and above it should be considered a high performance engine with a very short service life indeed. If you have an engine with an 0.70 CID/HP ratio, then you can expect 3000 hours engine life. Otherwise, you are a victim of the myth.
Yet other factors come into play, engine speed and weight. There is no escape from the fact that fast turning diesels have substantially shorter life spans. Slow speed diesels can be longer lived precisely because they do turn much slower. But when you soup them up, that advantage is lost, for a variety of reasons. Diesel engines running at 3200 to 3600 RPM are lightweight automotive engines for which good service life should not be expected in marine applications. A vessel in water and a vehicle on wheels are two entirely different load situations. The light weight diesel was not designed to push heavy vessel loads any more than the gas engine was.
Also, new EPA rules are having a major impact on diesel engines. The mandate to make them lighter, more fuel efficient and cleaner is going to translate into engines that are vastly less reliable. Why? Because they're going to start cutting out all that necessary extra cast iron, and in many areas start replacing it with cast aluminum. The marine engine industry tried cast aluminum once before back in the late 1960's; it didn't work then and won't work now, never mind all the smoke they'll put out about "technological advances." The German transmission manufacturer Z-F has tried making cast aluminum gear boxes, a foray into the future that has blown up in their faces along with their gearboxes. Aluminum is simply too weak to handle these kinds of loads, too heat sensitive, and unresisting to corrosion to be an acceptable substitute. Now that these new rules are going into effect, I predict a healthy future for remanufacturing old engines.

In the past our focus on photographers have been big names from the past. Today's entry focuses on a contemporary photographer, the Chinese photographer Ai Weiwei. Weiwei is not only a photographer, he is a political activist who has been highly critical of the Chinese government and has dedicated much of his coverage to things the government would prefer be left unmentioned. In October 2011, ArtReview named him in their annual Power 100 list.
Weiwei began his photography career as a student at the Beijing Film Academy in 1978. That same year he founded the avant garde art group "Stars" with Ma Desheng, Wang Keping, Huang Rui, Li Shuang, Zhong Acheng and Qu Leilei. Though the group disbanded in 1983, he has continued to provide follow-up coverage with The Stars: Ten Years in 1989 and 2007: Origin Point. In the early 1980s, he lived in New York and attended Parsons School of Design and at the Art Students League of New York. His art focused mostly on modifying ready-made objects. His works are heavily influenced by the avant garde school and have been featured in many galleries and exhibitions around the world. His preferred method is to take common, everyday objects and arrange them in fanciful ways to create a work of art from the mundane. For example, his exhibit Ai Weiwei: According to What? which condemned the Chinese government's response to the 2008 earthquake that killed many school children, featured a snake made out of matching backpacks.
He is currently the artistic director at the China Art Archives & Warehouse which he co-founded in 1997. This endeavor focuses on contemporary and experimental art and is located in Beijing. The building housing it was designed by Weiwei who has a keen interest in architecture as well as photography.
More coverage of this contemporary artist and photographer, as well as some of his work, can be found at ThinkProgress.

Berlin's House of Representatives (Abgeordnetenhaus von Berlin), is the seat of the State Parliament of Berlin – as opposed to the Bundestag - which sits in the Reichstag as the Federal Parliament of Germany. Situated near Potsdamer Platz and the Martin Gropius building it resonates with Berlin's political history.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 the elected deputies of reunited Berlin first sat in Chamber here in 1993, sixty years after the Nazi takeover which had robbed it of its democratic function. The building's thorough restoration and modernisation by architects Rave & Partner includes a glass-domed plenary hall.
The neo-Renaissance style building, formerly the Preußische Landtag (Prussian State Assembly) housed the central assembly for the first time in 1899. A bi-cameral parliament with an upper chamber and a house of representatives, it dates back to the vision of the Prussian national constitution, born out of the 1848 Revolution for a constitutionally elected government. In the 1932 State elections, the Nazi NSDAP became the strongest party in parliament and after Hitler's appointment as Reich Chancellor, the last sitting of the house took place in 1933. The Nazis found other uses for the building which became an infamous courthouse called "Preußenhaus" (House of Prussia) and a Luftwaffe officers' club under Hermann Göring until 1945. Last but not least the Stasi (East German state security service) also established its headquarters here in 1960.
Although free elections were held in Berlin in 1947, the division of the city into a western and eastern part meant that the city's government sat separately - in Rathaus Schöneberg for West Berlin and at the Stadthaus for East Berlin.
Visitors are welcome in a 150-seat tribune accessible via a separate entrance. An honorary citizens gallery can also be visited with over one hundred Berlin personages. Amongst the portraits on show is that of Marlene Dietrich who became honorary citizen No. 112 in 1992, painted by her great grandson John Matthew Riva.

Our Global SIM card can save you 80% versus roaming. Offering the ability to switch between Global & *US mobile numbers it provides incredible savings and the best of both worlds.
Just insert the SIM card into an Unlocked Handset and take advantage of several unique features that help save you a fortune compared to roaming:
For specific tariff information please refer to our rates calculator.
* free incoming calls in countries marked zone 1a
For a list of our most popular questions please see below or visit our online community. Alternatively you can download the download the Global SIM User Guidefor the current version of the SIM.
Firstly the SIM will only work in an unlocked handset. Once used in an unlocked handset it allows you to avoid roaming charges throughout the world.
This is made possible by providing you with 2 mobile numbers; a +44 79 UK number and a +1 USA number. Both the +44 79 UK number and the +1 USA number can be accessed via your Ekit online top-up account, once created, or via Ekit customer service before you travel.
Making a call in the UK or abroad is a simple process and involves a callback step to achieve the maximum savings. When you make an outbound call your handset will instantly ring you back prior to connecting the call and then you're able to talk as normal. Inbound calls are received as normal with a domestic SIM.
Callback is simply a different dialing experience to a normal mobile phone call and helps avoid roaming charges:
If you choose to provide contacts with the +44 79 Jersey mobile number when you travel, people in the UK can call you for the price of calling a Jersey mobile, no matter where you are in the world.
UK landline providers charge from 10p/min and UK mobile providers charge from 20p/min to call Jersey numbers.
Callers should verify this with their own network first to establish whether calls and texts are part of their plan or charged at national or international rates. However, by using our dialthrough service from a BT landline and 0871 612 0044 access number you can call the '07' global number for just 8p/min.
The SIM card has 2 number options (+1 USA and +44 79 Global) which provide great flexibility and savings. Please check our rates calculator and coverage table for more information. We recommend primarily using the +44 79 number in the UK and abroad and the +1 US number in the USA. Calls are not free to receive on the USA number.
Your Service will remain active indefinitely and credit remains valid if you use a charged service (such as making a call, or sending a text message) within any three month period.
The network will send you an email and text message notification one week in advance of your Service becoming inactive (3 months after last use). If your Service does become inactive, all your remaining credit (including the credit that comes included with the SIM) will expire. However, the network will automatically re-instate your full expired credit balance (including any remaining initial included call credit) if you recharge your account with $30 or more via Customer Service within three (3) months of last use, or purchase a new SIM three (3) months after the original expires. If you do neither then the SIM and number will permanently expire six (6) months after last use.
Network coverage is concentrated on major towns and cities and this often means that large rural areas receive minimal coverage, if any. We'd recommend that you check prior to your departure. The Ekit SIM will find the strongest signal automatically ensuring you receive continuous coverage across several networks. You can also search for a specific network manually and the costs remain at the flat rate advertised!
Adding credit is simple. Use your American Express, Mastercard or VISA card to add £20, £30, £50, £100, £150 or £200 to your account.
Top-ups can be made in four easy ways;
From your mobile phone (no charge applies in the United Kingdom):
Prepaid Data is a brand new feature, designed for those who wish to use Instant Messaging, read and send emails and access WAP or the internet using their mobile phone whilst they travel. Prepaid Data uses the GPRS and 3G standard. (Data currently not available via Blackberry devices.)
The SIM card will work in most handsets just as long as they are unlocked. However, the calling procedure may differ depending on your handset. This makes no difference to the call quality but it means you may need to dial using a short prefix number. You are also able to test the SIM before you leave. In general;
Important Information
Select the currency you want to show, and the country you want to call - then click 'Get Rates'...
Micro SIM cardNeed a micro or nano SIM card for your iPhone or iPad? No problem, our data SIMs are pre-cut to all three SIM sizes providing greater flexibility for you to use in most devices.
UK & USA Mobile NumberOur exclusive SIM card combines all the benefits of a Global (Jersey) and US mobile number . Please be aware for the SIM card to work in the USA or Canada you must use it in an unlocked Tri-Band (or Quad-band) mobile handset.
Travel JournalA FREE online service that automatically creates a trip journal based on your location in Global. It's a brilliant way to stay in touch and is used by thousands of travellers worldwide! You can also upload notes and images for everyone to view.

Joss Whedon's The Cabin in the Woods, the trippy-looking horror movie directed by Cloverfield co-writer Drew Goddard, will have its big premiere at the South By Southwest film festival's opening night in March.
Whedon, who produced Cabin in the Woods and wrote the script with Goddard, will also participate in a panel discussion in conjunction with the film's premiere during the March festival in Austin, Texas, SXSW organizers announced Thursday.
The film stars Thor's Chris Hemswoth as Curt, who along with a group of friends head off to, yes, a cabin in the woods for a crazy weekend of fun. But, in true horror-movie fashion, things turn dark and twisted very quickly. However, according to the movie's synopsis, things get even more bizarre and as "layer after layer of the film's truly kaleidoscopic world is revealed, everything we know about horror is deconstructed, and everything we love is reconstructed before our eyes."
With that in mind, along with the fact that Whedon and Goddard are involved, it's probably safe to assume this film won't fall into the usual horror-movie-in-the-woods clichés. But we now know one thing for certain: March cannot get here soon enough.
The Cabin in the Woods hits theaters everywhere April 13. See the trailer below.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania -
This morning people in Pennsylvania are scrambling to get marriage licenses after a federal judge overturned the state's ban on same sex marriage.
That makes Pennsylvania the 19th state where gay couples can wed.
But many in Pennsylvania are waiting to see if Pennsylvania's Republican governor - who opposes same sex marriage - will appeal.
There were rallies around the state after a federal judge ruled Pennsylvania's 18-year-old ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. "Injustice has been done for a long time and it stops today!" declared Marla Cattermole, Plaintiff in the suit.
Philadelphia's mayor called it an "historic day." county offices there stayed open late last night to handle applications.
The state's attorney general voiced her support. "I think that where there is inequality in one group of people or one class of people, then there's inequality amongst all of us," said PA Attorney General Kathleen Kane.
Eleven couples sued, plus a widow, one couple's teenage daughters and the ACLU.
Governor Tom Corbett hasn't said yet if he'll appeal.
There's been a flurry of activity just this week. On Monday, a judge struck down Oregon's same-sex marriage ban.
The same day, a federal judge ordered Utah to recognize a thousand couples who married before the U.S. Supreme Court stepped in there.
Yesterday, a federal court put marriages in Idaho on hold pending an appeal.
Nearly half the nation's residents - 44 percent - now live in a state where same sex couples can marry.
Half the states now allow same sex marriage but due to legal challenges, as of today there are only 19 where couples can actually do it.

JAC Closing Causes Problems
A move by state lawmakers to save money is costing law enforcement agencies in North Central Florida lots of time.
The Juvenile Assessment Center in Gainesville closed July 1.
Now, when officers arrest a child or teen, they take them to the Alachua County Jail for booking.
Sheriff Sadie Darnell says they set up a special area, because juveniles must be kept separate from adult inmates.
"It's a hardship, because it's an additional duty that was not anticipated and was not something that we've done in almost a decade," Darnell said.
Problem is: the juveniles can't stay there.
Officers must coordinate with the Juvenile Detention Center or return them to parents.
Darnell says the process can take up hours of officers' time.

Mike Skinner and car owner Richard Childress officially parted ways Monday, ending months of speculation about one of the most coveted rides on the Winston Cup circuit.
Skinner, who has one year left on his contract with Childress, will finish out the season in the No. 31 Chevrolet but was given permission to actively search for a new job.
Childress has not selected a new driver, but the logical choice would be Robby Gordon, who recently drove the car in four races while Skinner recovered from injuries sustained in a July crash.
Hingis, Kuerten gain top Open seeds
NEW YORK -- U.S. Open seedings released Monday include 32 men and 32 women, double last year's total, with Gustavo Kuerten and Martina Hingis seeded No. 1.
As in the past, seedings were based on tour rankings for the year's final Grand Slam event, which begins next Monday.
Wimbledon and the French Open decided in June to adopt a seeding formula favoring players who are better on their event's playing surface. But the U.S. Tennis Association will hold off on such a change for the U.S. Open until at least next year, spokesman Joe Favorito said.
Anna Kournikova, seeded 19th, withdrew Monday because of a foot injury that has sidelined her most of the year. Unseeded Mary Pierce, a two-time quarterfinalist, pulled out because of a lower back injury.
Lindros finally leaves Philadelphia
VOORHEES, N.J. -- Eric Lindros' tenure in Philadelphia finally is over.
The Philadelphia Flyers on Monday traded Lindros, sending the star center to the New York Rangers, ending a 15-month ordeal.
In return, the Flyers got left wing Jan Hlavac, defenseman Kim Johnsson, young forward Pavel Brendl and a third-round draft pick in 2003.
Philadelphia will send a first-round pick in 2003 to the Rangers if Lindros goes down with a head injury during the preseason or within the first 50 games of the regular season and doesn't return to action for at least 12 months.
''We think we ended up doing what we hoped to do right from the start, and that was to get some young players,'' Flyers general manager Bob Clarke said at a news conference Monday. ''We wanted to get more scoring into our lineup.
Jefferson takes preseason tourney

Jonathan Schaffer's The Debasing Demon [.pdf] was an immense pleasure to read. Some highlights:
I will draw three lessons from the debasing demon. The first lesson is that all knowledge is imperilled by sceptical doubt, even knowledge of the cogito. This clarifies the range of scepticism. The second and related lesson is that anti-sceptical strategies relying on a residue of knowledge immune from doubt cannot succeed. The debasing demon leaves no residuum. The third lesson is that deception and debasement do not exhaust the forms of sceptical doubt. In that sense, there are more demons in epistemic hell than are dreamt of in epistemology. (Schaffer, 228)

SAN SALVADOR – In a case that has garnered global attention, doctors performed a cesarean section Monday on a chronically ill Salvadoran woman denied an abortion despite her high-risk pregnancy, an official said.
The 22-year-old was in stable condition after undergoing a C-section in the early afternoon, Health Minister Maria Isabel Rodriguez said. The baby, a girl, did not survive, she added.
Abortion is illegal in El Salvador, even when the mother's life is at risk.
The woman, who has only been identified by a pseudonym, Beatriz, had requested an abortion to terminate the pregnancy because she suffers from lupus, which weakens the immune system. The fetus she was carrying had anencephaly, a total or partial absence of the brain and the skull.
El Salvador's Supreme Court rejected her request, saying the rights of the mother could not take precedence over those of the unborn child.
With the approval of the health minister, doctors proceeded to deliver the baby prematurely by C-section after 26 weeks of gestation.
"It is very clear at this time that the pregnancy intervention is not an abortion, it is an induced birth, which is something else," Rodriguez said last week.
The woman delivered at the capital's main maternity hospital.
Sensitive to the international interest in the case, a representative from the office of President Mauricio Funes said that in Beatriz's case, "everything transpired as the specialists had expected."
Claudia Handal, a spokeswoman for the conservative NGOs Family Network, said earlier that the baby had managed to survive and that doctors were caring for the infant.
According to the health minister, the baby lived for just five hours.

Andr Aciman talks at the New York Public Library
Wed Feb 24 2010
Writer and academic Andr Aciman had to field some pretty weighty questions last night: "What's the meaning of literature, and has it changed over time?" was NYPL president Paul Leclerc's opener, which was greeted with laughter from Aciman. "I'm not going to touch on that" he said, before talking about the things that stay, in a literary sense at least, omnipresent: love and war. His latest book, Eight White Nights, is firmly in the former camp: it's the story of a couple whose love life plays out over one week on the Upper West Side.
Aciman addressed some of the journalistic criticism leveled at his latest novel, in particular the notion that his characters seem to inhabit a world apart from quotidian concerns: "Reviewers get very annoyed when you don't give a profession [for a character]. 'What does he do for a living?' It's immaterial." For Aciman, it's the internal world that matters.
He spoke, finally, of the universality of feeling that his novel explores: "We've all been there when the person you're dying to call tells you not to call, and you now have eight hours to wait for that moment when you will see if you are going to be alive that evening or not." Roland Barthes said something similar in A Lover's Discourse: as in love and war, it seems, some things never change.

Banksy's home city to embrace graffiti art
By Tim Castle
LONDON (Reuters) - Authorities in the home city of British urban artist Banksy plan to become the first to allow a regular public vote on whether popular works of street graffiti should stay or be removed.
The move by Bristol council in the west of England follows a sell-out Banksy exhibition in the city that attracted 300,000 visitors and boosted the local economy by an estimated 10 million pounds ($17 million).
Councilors are expected to formally adopt the policy in coming weeks, breaking ranks with other authorities in Britain that adopt a no-tolerance attitude to graffiti.
"The policy we had inherited was basically scrub everything off unless (the artists) have got prior permission," said councilor Gary Hopkins, cabinet member for Environment and Community Safety.
Under the new policy, unsightly graffiti will still be removed swiftly, but the council will consult on murals or artwork "deemed to make a positive contribution to the local environment" and where the property owner has no objections.
Some street paintings will be put on a council website so the public can vote on their merits, said Hopkins.
"Anything that is potentially regardable as art, that people might want to keep, we'll potentially put up on the website.
"Some stuff, we wouldn't really need to ask, for completely the opposite reason, because people love it." Continued...

We live in a world exploding with mind-bending new technologies. And very few of us are able to explain in detail, the art and science behind these wonders. But I hardly ever hear someone ask, "How does that work?"...unless I've just performed a simple magic trick!
I try my best to present my magic, as something more than just 'puzzles to be figured out.' But when people inevitably ask, "How did you do that?" here are a few replies I've given over the years...
#1:"I have a few theories, but I'm still not sure." (Or, "I was hoping you could tell ME.") I really like the humility of this playful reply, but some people DO find it a bit annoying.
#2:"I didn't do it. Your mind did." It's honest and accurate, but it tends to just inspire more questions.
#3:"If I told you I'd have to kill you." As hack as it is, this reply almost always gets a good laugh from people. And it's a fun way to let people know, you have NO intention of telling them how you did it.
#4:"Shhh! It's a secret." This is one of my personal favorites, because I can deliver it in a great many ways.
Like many younger performers, when I first started exploring the art of magic, I was very focused on the 'secret methods.' But in the past couple of decades, I'm far more interested in the presentation and psychology of my performances. And I've discovered that, the less I focus on the 'secrets' of my tricks, the less other people ask, "How did you do that?"
Another marvellous indication of just how much our audiences are willing to follow our lead. Let's lead them somewhere interesting!
I recently toured Europe for a few weeks, presenting a series of lectures, and running some intensive workshops. And there's nothing quite like having to TEACH something, to get you thinking about it. Here are a few thoughts I returned home with...
Our magic and mentalism tricks don't really happen in ours hands. They HAPPEN in the minds of our audience. Which is why it's critical to perform tricks designed to inspire their imaginations. Because their imaginations are like the ultimate 'secret assistants' who make our tricks seem even more amazing.
Performing effects with truly intriguing objects, is one way to spark people's imaginations. Add to that, emotionally engaging presentations, and your performances are going to be even more powerful.
And the experience will also be more memorable. So your tricks will 'last longer' in the minds and imaginations of your audience.
The other night after a lecture, a magician showed me an effect. Or at least that's what I thought he was going to do.
Instead, he had me pick a card, return it to the pack, then after some extremely fair shuffling, he fanned the deck and pulled out my card. His eyes asked, "What do you think?"
"Do you know how I did it?" And in that moment, my mind took two small and unenthusiastic steps towards the postulating of possible methods for what I had just witnessed. ("Crimped card, Si Stebbins with a peek . . . ")
Then my brain just stopped dead, and muttered to itself, "I just don't care." It was a lifeless puzzle. I had no interest whatsoever. And for just a moment I imagine I felt like so many of the people to whom, as a younger magician, I would present my equally dull puzzles.
Totally lacking in the performer's emotional investment, such lifeless puzzles fail to inspire any strong feeling on the part of the audience, and are thus a kind of end in themselves.
Just as the language of logic is perfectly accurate to the degree to which it does not attempt to say anything about the world outside of logic, so too do puzzles possess an isolated and even incestuous quality.
Mysteries on the other hand, resonate with implicit far-reaching values and meaning. Rather than an end in themselves, they are a means to a fuller appreciation of the hidden relationships in the world.
You might ask, "How can a mystery yield appreciation if, by definition, a mystery is an unexplained event?" By reminding us that there are things that are unexplainable which we nonetheless care about. And in this reminding, our appreciation of the value of mysteries is heightened, while our awareness of their omnipresence is deepened.
While puzzles are presented. The mysterious is ultimately invited.
So the other night, I was hired to entertain people at an engagement party happening in an elegant bistro in Toronto's West End.
And instead of 'getting right to work' the moment I arrived as I usually do, I arrived a little early, and while sipping (half!) a glass of wine I truly just 'hung out.' I chatted with people, nibbled hors d'oeuvres, and really felt like I was just another guest at the party.
Then after about 20 minutes, I was chatting with a few people and (right in the middle of the conversation) I slipped a pack of cards out of my pocket and started doing some flourishes in a VERY low key manner. And the entire evening really just built from that small, 'unintroduced' and 'unperformed' magical spark. I can't express to you the degree to which I did NOT feel like a hired entertainer!
I gave myself more permission than usual, just to follow conversations away from my unusual skills, and towards whatever people really felt like chatting about. Even during the magic and mentalism effects, I would open things up for other small things to happen.
I also performed more flourishes, and dared to create much longer pauses and silences around 'magic moments,' than I usually do. In addition, I found myself digging deep into my repertoire and really mixing-up my sets. And the variety warded off that all too familiar feeling of a 'walking through a routine.'
And even when I made a few 'mistakes' ("There are no wrong notes."-Miles Davis) I responded in a totally chilled fashion. When I forgot to load a card into my pocket for Carlyle's 'Card To Pocket,' I loaded the palmed card into the pocket while pretending to show people an 'invisible card.' And when I linked a borrowed finger ring onto a borrowed spoon 'Stirring Silver') and BIG TIME flashed a few people looking over my shoulder, I just turned to them, winked, and said, "That was for you."
The result? I felt closer to the people, and further from the idea of a 'Magician.' And I guess ultimately, more like a fuller version of...me! And as for the responses to the magic, people screamed more, laughed more, and asked for more business cards than usual. It was so exciting!
Looking back, I think it had a lot to do with how UNdramatically I first slipped my toe into the 'performance waters.' It was also a reminder about the dangers of having too detailed an idea of what exactly I'm supposed to be doing, and how I'm supposed to BE at a gig.
More than ever, I really focused on being relaxed and helping people FEEL GOOD. And the magic tricks, well, they were just one of many tools I used to make that happen.
It was a great night!
What's it like to lecture and perform at the world's largest magician's convention? AMAZING. I started flying over to the UK every few years when I was just a teenager and I always have a marvellous time. The magicians are so friendly, and they have enormous respect for the art and science of magic.
The British people also have such a love of the English language. Playful, creative and smart. So much fun!
My Saturday afternoon lecture was 'standing room only' and was attended by well over 500 serious students of magic. Extremely humbling and inspring. And after the lecture, when a long line-up of my awesome fans 'suddenly appeared' for autographs, photos and 'quick chats' it was extremely flattering.
My good friend and crackerjack convention organizer Derek Lever promised to have me back at the Blackpool convention in a few years. I can't wait!!!
It's been almost a full year since I launched the InsideDeception magic + mentalism training site and I couldn't be happier with the results. My goal was to create an especially friendly and welcoming learning resource for people of all ages interested in the art + science of deception, and thanks to an amazing collection of passionate members the site has become extremely popular.
One of the big goals was to maintain an extremely high 'information standard' when it comes to posted comments. We've all visited chat rooms and forums where you have to wade through dozens of pages of 'chit chat' and poorly-written personal opinions in order to find a 'golden nugget of practical + valuable information.'
But on the InsideDeception training site, members are encouraged to 'think before you post' and only add a comment to a video if they feel it is of sincere value. So every single video on the site (there are over 250 to date!) features many comments about handlings, routining, presentation, etc. Which means there is information of real value on every page.
And we're lucky enough to have many full-time, professional performers as members, so you can image the 'real world quality' of many of the posted comments.
After almost a year of hard work, this past weekend we held our first ever 'OPEN HOUSE' on the InsideDeception website and the results were truly humbling. Hundreds of 'deception fans' visited the site and watched many of the exclusive training videos on the 'Student' level as our free guests.
Since then we've been getting a stream of rave reviews and many new magic enthusiasts have joined as fresh members.
You gotta love it when a 'passion project' becomes a popular destination.
Feeling very lucky,
PS. Here's the link to the training site. Click on the 'Free Trial' tab to watch 4 free training videos.
Wow. What a crazy time of year! I'm swamped with live shows, creative meetings, in-studio tapings, posting new content + staying in touch with members on my InsideDeception training site, attending school stuff with Maddy and Mason, and trying my best to hit a few 'date nights' with my awesome wife Lisa.
And on top of all that, launching this new product site AND trying to get my butt to the gym. And even without the use of my 'psychic powers' something tells me you are probably just as busy as well.
I love this time of year (especially as the snow starts to appear on the streets of Toronto) but it can be more than a little overwhelming if you don't pace yourself and take time to recharge those 'emotional batteries.'
Thanks so much for stopping by this new site. It is a BIG improvement over the 'old one,' but we are still trying to work out a few kinks. So please, if you spot anything a little strange, don't hesitate to use the CONTACT form and give us a heads up.
From all of us at Sankey Magic, happy holidays!

The World as We Know It Is About to End, Say Some Really Frightened Scientists
The World as We Know It Is About to End, Say Some Really Frightened Scientists - Global - The Atlantic Wire: A new study by 22 biologists and ecologists has found that environmental changes on our planet are reaching a point of no return that leads to mass extinctions and harms human welfare. The situation, said one scientist, "scares the hell out of me." That would be James H. Brown, one of the authors of alarming paper published by Nature, talking to New York Times Green blogger Justin Gillis. Brown is not one of your everyday cranks predicting raptures and the end of days. He is a macroecologist at the University of New Mexico. And as The Atlantic's James Fallows, who pointed out this terrifying study to us, writes, this could be the most important news of 2012. How soon do these scientists expect the world as we know it to end? Gillis writes, "within a few human generations, if not sooner." The most frightening thing is that this finding isn't about what will come if we do not act, but that our effects on the planet's environment -- global warming, population growth, and overall resource extraction -- means that we've already passed a "tipping point." This isn't a plea for change. These are things scientists have been warning us about for decades...

Gijs de Vries said Western nations had to show 'in word and deed' that they were committed to protecting human rights. 'We need to engage much more with moderate Muslims and to show that we represent the same values across religious divides,' De Vries said. 'Those values are [based on] a respect for the sanctity of life, for democracy and for human rights.'
His words will be seen as an attack on the hardline, American approach to counter-terrorism. Last week, Condoleezza Rice, the US Secretary of State, concluded a trip to Europe, during which she was confronted with allegations that American intelligence services not only ran secret prisons in eastern Europe, but used European airports to facilitate 'extraordinary renditions' of US-held suspects to other countries for interrogation.
Terrorism will be high on the agenda at this week's European Union summit. A series of trials in France and the Netherlands, along with the death of a Belgian woman, a convert to Islam, in an apparent suicide attack in Iraq, have focused attention on the radicalisation of Muslim communities in Europe.

Roswell student wins state poster contest
Pictured are Valley View Elementary School fifth-grade student Anika Tavarez, left, and teacher Jennifer Johnson. Tavarez won the New Mexico National Center for [auth] Missing and Exploited Children Missing Children's Day Poster Contest. (Courtesy Photo)
A Valley View Elementary School student has won a statewide poster contest with her artwork.
New Mexico students participated in the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) Missing Children's Day Poster Contest. This contest consisted of hand drawn posters by fifth-grade students across the state.
The winner, fifth-grader Anika Tavarez, was honored on Tuesday with her award and a pizza party, courtesy of Domino's Pizza, said Sgt. Damyan Brown, public information officer for the New Mexico State Police.
Tavarez is a student in Jennifer Johnson's class at Valley View Elementary School in Roswell.
The annual contest creates an opportunity for schools, law enforcement, and other child advocates to discuss the issue of missing and/or exploited children with children, parents, and guardians and to promote child safety.
Students from around the state submitted hand drawn posters, and Tavarez's was selected as the winner, Brown said. Now, she will be entered into the national contest and if she wins that, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention will invite her to Washington, D.C., to participate in the National Missing Children's Day commemoration in May, along with her parents and teacher.

LPGA shows real enthusiasm at La Costa Resort & Spa
There was genuine fun and zeal at this week's LPGA Tour press conference at La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, Calif, previewing the LPGA's inaugural Kia Classic.
It's not that PGA Tour press conferences are stoic, but compared to what I saw at La Costa this week, they're like funerals. The Kia Classic media event started with the mandatory sponsor introductions, then David Higdon, the tour's chief communication officer, introduced special guest Brittany Lincicome to talk about playing in the Kia Classic, scheduled for March 25-28.
"It just makes sense to have a tournament in the San Diego area," Lincicome said. "I mean the weather's absolutely great here 90 percent of the time."
That's true, but it was probably the least interesting thing we heard from the three-time LPGA winner. For example, Lincicome commented on her partnership with Barbie to inspire young girls to take up golf and live their dreams. Reflecting on her surprise when she recently saw the Brittany Barbie Doll for the first time, she joked, "It's really scary; it looks just like me."
We also discovered that Lincicome has gone paragliding off the cliffs of Torrey Pines, her dad Tom Lincicome has been on the road with her for the last four weeks – "and we're still talking" – and she loves to fish. When Higdon called her a fisherman, she corrected him. "That's fisherwoman," she said.
Then Higdon and Lincicome re-enacted this year's Acadamy Awards presentation when they prepared to announce the recipient of this year's Kia Classic's sponsor exemption.
"Who do you want to be?" Higdon asked. "Steve Martin or Alec Baldwin?"
"Alec Baldwin," she replied.
"Why's that?"
"He's the only one I've heard of," she said.
Thankfully, movie trivia knowledge isn't required to make eagles, which Lincicome did on the last hole to win last year's Kraft Nabisco Championship, one of the LPGA's majors.
Moving on, Lincicome opened the envelope and announced that local product Tiffany Joh got the exemption.
Joh thought she was only being called in to play golf with media members.
"I feel so manipulated," she said, laughing. "But in a good way."

I was at the LPGA Tour Championship in Houston and it really was a washout! It rained everyday and the people running the tournament were not very organized. They would never update the telephone recording when there was a delay and had many fans coming out to the course at 7:30 am when play would not start until 1:30 pm. This happened during the entire tournament and no one was very happy. The course is really not setup kfor walking. From one green to the next tee was many times 100 yards or more. They had to cart the players and the caddies and when the fans got to the next tee, the players were already down the fairway hitting their second shot. There was also huge mounds on each side of the fairways which had to be negotiated in order to see the players in the fairway. I am not surprised to see that the tournament location for 2010 is to be decided.
It was really miserable the entire time. The Korean players were almost invisible and not friendly at all. I hope the LPGA can improve in this area. When Kim, the LPGA clown princess, was not in front of the cameras, she was really a shithead. I guess the rule is...play to the camera and not to the fans. Michelle Wie was only concerned with the PR Glitter and was not the darling among the LPGA Pros. I did not see one other pro talk with her when not playing on the course. I think Wie will finish around 26th at the Kia tournament. So far she has been very inconsistent in her game and has been averaging 12 bogies per tournament this year.

it wasn't until much later in our relationship that the wife and I both were comfortable enough to discuss our desires/fetishes/what have you.
with this out in the open we could talk about this and what each other felt comfortable with and things that creeped us out. the bottom line is that once we both discussed it, we found that we both had similar wants/desires/etc. and our sex lives have been MUCH better.
like I've said before, 22 years in marriage, 25 years with her, and the sex is BETTER than ever....we do what some might think kinky or bizarre, but it
's things we both like....the items that made us feel uncomfortable we have tested the waters on and both of us grew closer.
don't hold off, talk to your partner now and get to understand each other. you'll be better off if you do.

I waited with eager anticipation for my review copy of Gordon MacDonald's latest book, "Going Deep" (published by Thomas Nelson) to arrive. The content of the book was supposed to be on a subject matter I consider to be critical to today's church, so I was excited someone had written on the topic.
Unfortunately, "Going Deep" only offers a nugget on the topic of the vital need for the church to disciple Christians to maturity --- to take them "deep" --- which is a great failure of the church today.
The "nugget" is found on the first page of the book. You don't even have to read through the preface or acknowledgements to get it. It's a quote by Richard Foster, stating, "The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people."
MacDonald must have found the quote to be profound (which, I think, it is) because he wrote a book around it. Unfortunately, instead of applying the message of the quote, he didn't "go deep" on the need for "going deep." MacDonald doesn't give a "deep" reasoning for the critical need to disciple believers to a depth of real maturity, or address why the church isn't doing that, or discuss how it could be done today. Instead, he picks up from his previous book, "Who Stole My Church?" and writes a fictional story about a pastor who is moved by a question and Foster's quote to develop a discipleship group aimed at "cultivating deep people."
Perhaps MacDonald thought he could provide a deeper understanding of the need for "going deep" by telling a fictional story of a church actually doing it. I can understand the thinking behind such action, but it misses going deep on something that needs much greater depth.
While I greatly appreciate MacDonald bringing attention to Richard Foster's great insight by sharing his quote, their are some things MacDonald puts into his fictitious story that are minor distractions.
For example, he has the pastor of this fictional church react to Foster's quote as if he had never considered the need to disciple people to full maturity (depth), and suggests that's not really the job of today's church leaders. It's true too many church leaders are failing to "cultivate deep people," but being responsible for discipling believers to maturity is hardly a novel idea for a pastor.
Other distractions include an obvious preference (based on numerous references) of viewing the church as a "community" instead of a body (Christ's body) or family (God's family). If you're really going to "go deep," you'll understand that the Bible does not teach that God adopted us to be a part of His "community," but, rather, to be His own adopted children. There's a vast difference between being a part of a community and being a brother or sister in a family or being a connected part of a body. The biblical view of the church is significantly more intimate than the concept of "community."
MacDonald almost seems to see mentoring and discipling as different names for the same thing. Again, there is a marked difference between mentoring and discipling. To take people "deep" spiritually, we must disciple them (at least, if we're going to follow the biblical mandate for doing so).
MacDonald's fictional pastor is also quite comfortable going outside the church for discipleship techniques, turning to a business executive and a rabbi for ideas. Perhaps if MacDonald would have focused on a deep look at the need for "going deep" he would have noted that the church's proclivity to copy business or cultural methods is a contributing reason why the church is failing at developing spiritually "deep people."
MacDonald also flirts with the controversial by subtly suggesting women should be able to serve as elders. Many of his potential readers belong to churches or denominations that believe scripture teaches the position of pastor and elder are to be held by men. Tossing in this aspect of controversy is just a distraction to his subject matter.
Finally, MacDonald's fictional pastor views being part of the "cultivating deep people" group as something that only select people should be invited to. The approach to discipleship or mentoring in this book is offered only to potential leaders. Yet every Christian, whether a leader or a follower, needs to be discipled to maturity.
MacDonald does a helpful thing in stirring our thoughts regarding the need to cultivate deep people. The problem is, once he offers that nugget, the remainder of the book is shallow territory.

Having problems with your Canon Rebel XT / EOS 350D Digital Camera ?
Cannon camera will not turn on
\015 Cannon camera\015
Answers :
Dear Trish,
\015\012There are a couple of things that will usually cause this. A few are simple to check.:
\015\0121. Make sure that you battery is inserted properly and that your battery door is closed completely.
\015\0122. Make sure that your CF card is inserted properly and that your card slot cover door is completely closed.
\015\0123. Make sure that your battery is charged (charge it for 90 minutes) and that your charger works properly during the process. Your charger's light should go from red to solid green during a full charge. If possible test a fully charged battery on another camera. If you don't have access to another camera take your battery down to a local store that sells Rebels and ask to try it on one.
\015\0124. If these aren't the cause then you likely have an electrical issue with your camera and you should call Canon's tech support at 1-800-828-4040 to do a little troubleshooting and possibly send the unit in for service.
\015\012Hope this helps.
