We bowl weekly with family and the ball is great.

You can use two basic per-diem rates. The first is based separately on the employee's travel destination. The second depends on the annual "high low" rates established each year for certain areas.
Strategy: Mix and match per diems to your advantage. No law says you have to use the same method for all employees. Example: You might use one method for one employee and the other for a second employee, whichever provides better results.
However, you're strictly prohibited from using either per-diem allowance for an employee who owns 10% or more of the company.
Here's the whole story: With a per-diem allowance, employees don't have to keep receipts for all of their travel expenses.Your company simply pays the IRS-approved allowance—no muss, no fuss. Employees don't even have to report the payments on their tax returns. However, they still must substantiate the time, place and business purpose of their business travel.
The government also establishes a flat rate for certain high-cost areas. The IRS recently announced that the per diem for travel in high-cost areas for 2008 (effective Oct. 1, 2007) is $237. The rate for low-cost areas is $152.
To reduce the paperwork burden, you might use the high-low method for employees who travel extensively. On the other hand, you can require other employees to use the specific location method if they frequently travel to low-cost areas.
Tip: The Government Services Administration is responsible for updating the per diems. To find rates for specific areas, click on www.gsa.gov/perdiem and refer to the map.

I Was Part of the IRS Hack. Now What?

|Preventing Online Identity Theft
Well, I got my letter the other day letting me know that I was one of the people whose information was hacked from the IRS website. What? How can that be? I wondered. I am so diligent about passwords, identifying images, and identifying questions. Yet, here I am, staring at this letter.
Part of me is very worried. What should I do? Who can I call? And then there is another part of me that just realizes this is an unfortunate aspect of online information storage and exchange. I subscribe to a credit monitoring service, and I email my accountant and let them know. But are you concerned about your own information? Here are a few options if you want to stay on top of your personal information online.
Keeps Tabs on Your Credit Report
If you haven't already done so, you can order one free credit report per year at AnnualCreditReport.com. Look over it to make sure nothing seems out of the ordinary or strange.

Be sure to check out the ProtectMyId site if you'd like additional information. You can stop identity theft in its tracks. Experian makes it easy with enrollment in ProtectMyID® (Affiliate Link)
Call your Bank and Your Accountant
If your banking information was part of the personal information hacked, you may consider giving your bank a call. You also may want to let your accountant know, so they can use that information when they prepare your taxes next year.
Consider a Credit Freeze
If you are very concerned, you can contact the credit reporting agencies to place a credit freeze on your account. This type of freeze will not allow lenders, or anyone else, to access your credit report. If you want to apply for credit in the future, you'll need to contact the credit reporting companies to remove the freeze.

I could get long and tedious here, but I'll try not to. Basically I am frightened to death of drawing. This is my attempt to push past the fear. I had the same problem with abstract art and once I got past the fear I really enjoyed it. I suspect (and hope) the same thing will happen with drawing/painting/concept art.
Read a book on willpower that helped me grok my resistance a bit. Going through it bit by bit. I'm starting small and working my way up, starting with one drawing a day. I'd ask you to wish me luck but, I think that at the moment what I need most is determination. Especially since just sitting with it and finishing something tiny made me go a little loopy!
Thumbnail (some of my old abstract art, a fractal in this case) followed by today's drawing. (Apologies for it being digital; I just moved and my scanner is still buried somewhere.)
It's a hilariously bad contour drawing of a cruet on my desk!

London, United Kingdom (PressExposure) July 03, 2009 -- Unsecured short term installment loans will assist you in settling your mortgage, auto loan, or any other unexpected bills that require additional funding. Short term installment loans are not meant to become a recurring source of income but rather a tool to help you when unplanned events arise. Unsecured short term loans should be used only for temporary financial needs, and not as a long-term financial with credit difficulties should seek solutions.Customers credit counseling.Some colleges in the short term loans to students. The borrower must be a student and be able to demonstrate that the loan can be repaid within a certain period of time. If a student is supposed to receive student loans or other student aid, college in May pay a higher amount that would be due upon receipt of student assistance. A payday loan is given by various kiosks around cities or via the internet. These are unsecured, high interest loans that are normally due with the deposit of the borrower's next paycheck. For instance, a payday loan company may provide a loan and charge $35 for each $100 borrowed.
The application is normally done online and your online loan application can be processed in 24 to 48 hours, therefore you can get short term cash loans within short period of time. As soon as your loan application is received online or by phone, a pre-paid and fully-insured Royal Mail Special Delivery Courier pack will be sent to you. You can use this to return the pledge items that you are going to secure your pawnbroker loan against via courier. Your items are safely stored and fully insured for the duration of your pledge loan.
Short term loans will help you to pay any bill with short term installment loans up to $1500. You can get the quick cash you need and you won't have to bother about paying the whole loan back on your next payday.

So what are you waiting for? Apply for your short-term installment loan today!

Post inspired in a comment of user magno11 in financial portal www.rankia.com.
In a previous post we mentioned a style of investing called Contrarian Investing.
According to the definition in Wikipedia, Contrarian Investing is "In finance, a contrarian is one who attempts to profit by investing in a manner that differs from the conventional wisdom, when the consensus opinion appears to be wrong."
In this post, rather than explaining it in detail, we will try to follow a contrarian analysis to find a good investment. You can find plenty of web and book resources about Contrarian Investing.
So, let's try it.
First of all, look at a market that normal investor never would go at this moment, what about South Euro area, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Greece, Cyprus...
At first sight, Cyprus would be the worst one, but we are talking about investment with risk, not gambling... And there is a corralito de facto for Cypriot euros, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=253670.0 .
So, maybe the next in bad state is Greece, and what do we have in that market?? Well, the overall index has not done bad this year, but it includes all risks, so lets look at some good companies in it, mostly those undervalued...
To not bore you with long analysis, I propose to analyze directly one of the sectors with bad reputation, which normally are those that perform better..., in this case, a tobacco company, Karelia Tobacoo, KARE:ATH.
This company's last closing price was 145.05 €, but, according to some it may be 50% undervalued, that is, it may reach, in 2 – 3 years time, double price.., let's see the data:
This company exports 80% of its production, (15 billion cigarrettes), that means that, in worst case of Greece exiting the euro, costs will do down (currency devaluation), increasing profits.
In Greece it has 10% marketshare, (3 billion cigarrettes), but it is leader in Bulgaria, 20% and it is performing an active international expansion.
In 2009 they started launching new products and expanding in duty free markets. Earns per share rose 16% in last 5 years with 10% increase in sales.
In 2004 it sold 15 billion cigarretes, same amount as in 2009, however operating profit went up 30%, but transferring increases in taxes and inflation to final price.
Getting more market share in other countries is a very good signal, because normally tobacco consumers have a lot of fidelity to their brands..
Now lets do the numbers using latest published data, price evolution and other economical facts.
Company Valuation
Analyzing the enterprise value, as market cap + debt – cash, that is 420M – 150M, that is, 120 million euros.
Free cash flow = EBIT – capex
EV/EBIT = 4.2 x pret-taxEV/FCF = 4.3 x pre-tax
ROTE, Return on tangible equity =56/260-60-150+70=46% pre.tax
EBIT margin = 9%
ROIC=56/236=23% pretax
If we compare this numbers with similar companies, for example Imperial Tobacco, it has a ROTE, of 31%, (just 25% including goodwill).
EV/ebit = 11.3 x, that is 3 times Karelia Tobacco.
Analysing the stock price, it shows a clear primary trend up, since 2012.
Moreover, this company has given its employees 1.8 Million € in bonus last december, from 400 to 1400€ extra depending on family charges per employee.., which shows an economically healthy company with motivated employees.
And last but no least, new limits in tobacco advertising is good for small companies, because it reduces the gap between big companies, that can spend huge amounts in TV ads, and small ones.
So, if everything sounds that good, why is the share so cheap..
Of course, there are risks, but a good analysis of them will be the key to a good contrarian investment. What are those risks?
Well, these days, anything with the word Greece in it is considered as a bad investment. Basically the media do not use to publish subtle details...
There is also a risk of task increasing on tobacco, but we have seen in the past that this cost can normally be transferred to final price, how much before people leave smoking?.
Management team is a family, Karelia family, and normally funds do not like family managed companies, however, in 2009, when many strategic decisions had to be taken, they did really well.
Other risk is the little free float, just 150.000 shares out of 2.76 million in total.
And, one strange thing, the big amount of 120 million € of cash with 400 million € of market capitalization. Why did they not buy shares back in 2012 with PER was 4???
So, what must happen for the stock to double price??
The company looks very good, could it be bought by another (big) one??
Maybe, spending those free 120M in dividends, or buying shares back???
Maybe a big hedge fund does same calculations, or reads this post and buys all free float shares???
These things are not likely to happen, but just simple expected growth may produce a very good return.
Finally, here 3 possible growth scenarios in next 4 years:
1.- Share price 202€, 7% yield in 4 years.
2.- Share price 354€, 24% yield in 4 years.
3.- Share price 489€, 34% yield in 4 years.
As a disclosure, please do not consider all these as a buy/sell recommendation, it is my first approach to Greek markets, and it would require deeper analysis and, even better, some local information about this company in Greece.
This exercice is just an example, how to find jewels dismissed by the media, and so by the crowd.., in countries, sectors or companies that the crowd dismisses.., and there is where money can be made.

The Rock Barn Ladies Golf Association (RBLGA) seeks to involve all women golfers in organized golfing opportunities throughout the year. Whether you are new to the RBLGA, or are just now giving some thought to getting involved, we encourage you to investigate the many options for playing with other ladies within the club, and with other clubs as well.
Golfers of all skill levels are invited to play in friendly low-pressure games on Thursdays and Saturdays from April through October. This gives everyone a chance to meet new members and play with someone different each week. The games change by the week and they are all designed to be a lot of fun and to give everyone a chance to win. Once a month, at 5:30 on Tuesday evenings, we enjoy a Nine & Wine format. It is designed to accommodate newer golfers and is usually a captain's choice format or something that is just as much fun and easy going. Afterwards, we congregate in Rockers for fun and BOGO wine.
Our LGA is a member of two area leagues, Foothills and Lake League. Participation in these leagues gives our members the opportunity to participate in monthly events at local area clubs. It's fun to travel with your friends and a great chance to play some other fantastic courses. We have many special events throughout the year, such as: Ladies Member Guest; our own version of the Solheim Cup; Beginning of the Year and End of the Year tournaments; tournaments held in conjunction with the Men's Golf Association and many more activities. We also have a program that is open to women golfers who are not Rock Barn members called PAL, Players Auxiliary League which is designed to encourage women's golf events at Rock Barn and allows all of us to make new friends and promote women's golf in our area. PALs can play in all RBLGA play days and any special LGA events and others as invited.
If you are interested in joining the LGA or the PALs, or you would just like more information please email us at email@example.com.

FACT CHECK: Was an Alabama man caught having sex with a pig in a Walmart bathroom?
Claim: An Alabama man named Marvin Halbert was caught having sex with a pig in a Walmart bathroom.
Example: [Collected via Twitter, July 2015]
Alabama Man Caught Having Sex With Pig In WalMart Bathroom http://t.co/hy5i5PEmh7
— Timothy Melvin (@tmelvin1911) July 28, 2015
Origins: On 27 July 2015, the web site Now8News published an article titled "Alabama Man Caught Having Sex With Pig In WalMart Bathroom," which claimed:
Marvin Halbert of Birmingham, Alabama is in police custody after Walmart workers found him having "inappropriate relations" with a farm pig in the superstore restroom. Customers reported hearing loud squealing coming from the bathroom in the back area of the store near the layaway department. An eyewitness said her seven-year-old son went in to use the restroom, and came out screaming, "Mommy, mommy is a man in the bathroom holding a pig really close to him!"
Confused, the woman alerted a store clerk and was informed they already had several complaints about noise in the restroom. Raymond Cooper, an employee at the Walmart store, said he was the one that ran in and saved the pig. "When I went into the bathroom, I heard squealing from inside the stall. I told the man to open it but he wouldn't, so I kicked it in. That crazy ass fool for real was doing a pig. I socked him in the face and grabbed the pig. That fool was out cold."
However, Now8News (styled to mimic a local television station news site, like KLAS) is a newcomer to the burgeoning fake news genre, one that further aims to confuse readers by blending wildly sensational claims like the one above with re-writes of actual news events. The pig sex tale is (of course) false, and the mugshot was one of sovereign citizen and former fugitive Edward Eugene Harper.
On 17 July 2015, Now8News published cannibalized a fabricated claim (involving a man on a park bench being eaten by pigeons) which first appeared on the similar fake news site NewsWatch28. On the same date, Now8News published a different, entirely made-up story claiming McDonald's was caught using aborted fetuses in Chicken McNuggets.

The best way to get a competitive edge might not mean buying supplements, a pricey power meter or a bike setup that costs as much as a small car.
Triathletes can waste time attempting to research and calculate the minute differences between certain aero helmets when the most valuable performance-boosting action would be shutting down the computer and getting a good night's sleep.
More: 6 Core Components of Triathlon Training
It turns out that some of the top performance boosters are free. Get more out of your training time and the gear you already have with these top—free and legal—ways to boost performance.
Proper Recovery
"Logically, everyone knows they have to train to get better," Matt Dixon says, owner and founder of Purplepatch Fitness. "But it doesn't matter how good your training plan is if it isn't supported by recovery and good nutrition. And in my experience, the first thing people will relegate in importance is recovery."
That's not smart. When you cheat your recovery, you cheat your performance. That's because training adaptations don't happen while you're working out; they happen while you're recovering.
More: Recovery's Role in Triathlon Training
"You have to value recovery to be as vital as any training you're doing," says Dixon, who's an elite coach to American record holders and some of the leading endurance athletes in the world, including Ironman champions Chris Lieto, Rasmus Henning and Linsey Corbin. "People skimp on sleep and cram in workouts even though their system is suppressed from that schedule or from events such as flying across the country. At every level of athlete I work with, we have to integrate more recovery."
A new online subscription-based tool called RestWise takes into account objective (including resting heart rate and blood oxygen saturation) and subjective measures (including appetite, sleep quality, mood, presence of muscle soreness and more) of recovery and gives you a recovery score based on today's data and trends over time.
More: How to Measure Your Recovery
A low score means you're not well recovered and going out for a hard session on that day may not make you a better athlete in the end. "If you miss that optimal ratio of stress load to recovery load, you're not optimizing your training," says Matthew Weatherley-White, co-founder of the company that created RestWise.
Adjusting your workouts according to your recovery score may take your training load down but don't panic. It may take your performance up, Weatherley-White says. "A byproduct of this system may be helping people learn to define their success more by performance than training load."

This is sort of like owning up to being male, or Northern or something equally obvious like that, but whatever; I'm a 'crap creative', don't know if this label exists, but it has a suitably lame early '90's feel to it so it must be genuine.
It's been about 3 weeks since I got my complimentary (as in 'you look nice' not 'here's a mint with your bill') rejection letter and in that time I've edited 600 words out of Simian Smith and I'm not even half way through the manuscript. The rough synopsis for 'Green World' has expanded by, oh, 50 words? A week ago I took on a short easy little script to draw and have done nothing but fiddle with the script. I've also been messing around with endless thumbnail layouts for a one page strip I came up with, the script isn't finished, the characters aren't properly designed, I'm not sure what the house that features in the 1st panel looks like, but I'm still drawing endless little boxes on scraps of paper as if it will get the work done.
So, I'm a crap creative - not with out talent but doomed to whittle away on project after project, sometimes finishing one, but most likely doing a small amount of messing about over far too long a period of time before giving up and trying something else. My ideal is the Philip Pullman route, it may be creative but it's still a job sort of thing, and I do try and work even when my brain's dry and chaffing the inside of my skull, but it usually amounts to work best forgotten in the cold unforgiving light of the next day (or week as is usually the case) Sadly the best I've been able to do is occasional bursts of work and count my blessings if I'm able to keep those bursts focussed on one project.
It's a bit sobering thinking that I'm in my mid '30's and have only completed a couple of things. I'm quite proud of them, but it's a small part of what I'd like to do and an even smaller part could do if I could train myself to just sit down and get things done.
There it is though, that's what I am, and the first step towards cure is to recognise there's a problem. If anyone else wants to swap shoulder's to weep on and stand up and be counted as a CC then please do so.... if you've got time that is, if there's something on telly or you really need to get the washing up done and alphabetise your cds before you commit I totally understand.

OK, you've lured me from my CC closet...
I haven't the ambition nor the talent so I'm more CC than you!

Paul, stop fretting. You're a great artist and it'll happen. You'll get a sore arm from beating yourself up.
You've got shedloads to get positive about.

Oh dear god... Didn't even jot a word of Cavendish down... HAven't actually ever finished anything... That would definitely make me a CC...

Definitely CC. I never focus on one project long enough. I must have added 3 more projects in the last month... too many ideas, not enough time.

This is another popular market place other than Farmer's market that you may enjoy. It is more like a mall which is specially designed for the pedestrians. To construct this mall, it took around 19 years as the funding was coming from the Federal Government. Quite close from the Pearl Street, this place is packed with great restaurants and stores to explore out. If you are a foodie, then this place is an ultimate choice for you. In the evening, you can also enjoy watching the street dance followed by great music and fun play to enjoy.
If you have children with you during the trip, then I am sure they would love this part of Burlington. With the blend of nature and technology, you can enjoy the marine life here and check out some great species that you might not be able to see in your daily life. Enjoy the hands on discovery and explore different species of frog, and know the great people who lived in the city and get entertained with the panoramic views of the Lake that are simply amazing.
This island is connected with the bridge and causeways. It is a summer recreation place where apple orchards are grown to a larger extent. Besides, the view of Lake, St. Anne's Shrine on Isle La Motte is amazing to watch out. Do not forget to click some snaps with the statue of Samuel de Champlain. From this Island, you can also enjoy a classic view of New England small towns. After a hectic time, people generally come here to relax and enjoy the breeze flow.
This place is spread across 1400 acres and belongs to the Revolutionary War hero Ethan Allen. Now the place exhibits the history and house archeology. There is also a huge park where mostly people halt for photo sessions. For Vermont, Allen had become a superhero and to also remember him, his homestead has become an ideal place to let tourist know about him. You can enjoy hiking here and spend a quality time with your loved ones in the natural environment.
This factory is not exactly in Burlington it is near to the city. It is one of the biggest attractions, especially during the spring and winter seasons. Take a factory tour and you will understand what has made it so popular. With ice-cream packets, candy colors and even the chocolate chips to enjoy, this place is liked by people of all the ages. So not forget to taste some amazing Ice cream, which is the specialty here.

As defined for the First Conference on Learning Analytics and Knowledge 2011, "learning analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts for purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs."
Some Facts
As outlined in the Educause report, Building Blocks for College Completion: Learning Analytics: "In practice, learning analytics offers a robust way to use data to help assess student risk, predict student success, and improve tailoring of instruction and student services to meet student needs. When conducted within the boundaries of how an institution approaches the privacy of student data and in alignment with an institution's philosophy about academic interventions and student self-direction, learning analytics can help pinpoint how a student might be veering off track in academic progress in ways that suggest interventions to improve academic performance. Using information gleaned from learning analytics, the institution can improve its early detection and remediation of risk factors for student failure or attrition in order to improve student persistence toward course and program completion. ... More broadly, institutions can apply lessons drawn from learning analytics to deepen student learning and engagement overall by fine tuning pedagogy, enriching student services, and generally honing how they deliver educational content."
The Opportunity
Powerful analytics integrated into online learning enable students to fully understand their strengths and weaknesses in terms of the learning objectives of their courses and programs.
Learning analytics also permit:
- In depth knowledge of what concepts and skills students find difficult and struggle with.
- Learning materials to be individualized around the strengths and weaknesses of the learner. Using adaptive learning systems (e.g. Knewton) as students demonstrate competency or lack of competency, the available learning materials are automatically adjusted to take learner performance into account.
- Identifying students requiring additional support and remediation for their learning.
- Providing feedback to course developers on the efficacy of their design.
In its Horizon Report > 2013 Higher Education Edition, New Media Consortium listed Learning Analytics with a two to three-year time-to-adoption horizon, seeing the promise as actionable data relevant to every tier of the education system. The article provides links to applications and sources.
Some Examples
There are many examples of effective learning analytics in use, especially now that most learning management systems have improved analytics embedded within them.
The examples include:
- Looking at Patterns of Interaction – between students, between students and their instructors, and students and the learning materials. This helps identify levels of student engagement and those students who are not fully engaged in their course work.
- Predicting Success and Failure – mining data from thousands of student interactions and activities permits the development, by subject, of predictive models of student success, drop-out and failure. A great deal of attention is being paid to reducing drop-out in colleges and universities. Being able to predict which students are "vulnerable" and the development of appropriate intervention strategies can have a significant impact.
- Adaptive Learning – using one or more of the available software tools (e.g. Apila, KnowRe, DreamBox, Knewton), instructors can create formative assessments, which lead students to the knowledge they require to be successful.

Numerical verification of light confinement in a nano solid immersion lens
Numerical simulations using the finite element method (FEM) verify the light confinement effect observed in nano-scale solid immersion lenses (SILs). As observed in experiments, a strong light confinement occurs on the bottom surface of the SILs in simulation. The numerical spot size is comparable to the experimental spot size, and provides some insight into the deviation from the analytical expectation of the spot size reduction.

"Visit to Audiology"
About: The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (King's Lynn) The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (King's Lynn) King's Lynn PE30 4ET
Posted via NHS Choices
Anything else?
I took my wife to get a hearing aid sorted out. This was replaced and the new one setup up to match her existing appliance.
Whist there I inquired to the secretary about my hearing aids as I felt I had been given two right sided aids at my last appointment. It turned out they just needed coding with a blue and red tag which she did. She also gave me advice how to clean them..all this without an appointment.
Great service, thank you very much.
ps why does Audiology not show up on your list of departments??

Paving New Roads, or A Clever Truth I Want to Try
This video isn't much, but the video within the video is revelatory and could save some of us a dollar or two.
Haven't looked to see if there's an American precedent for making this legal yet, but I'd bet . . .
Bucking, or, the Expectation that Things Should Be Harder
At the time of my last post I had just reached the end of an often joyful but prevailingly dark six months. The weeks since have been a flood of good luck, achievements, first times and beginnings. I landed a stage role. I got my first talent agent and was sent out for auditions without ever interviewing. I got a free ticket to a benefit for the Human Rights Campaign, where a voiceover agent approached me and offered to record a demo. In his studio he chanced to be on Skype with a former professor of mine, who mentioned the possibility of some work as a dialect coach. I got a free trip to Chicago. I had a great interview for a job with my alma mater, then withdrew my application because the hours were too strict, only to be contacted with an offer of a more specialized, less scheduled job that would send me traveling all over the country. And my feet are healing, to the point where I can walk for a good while, and I've even been able to dance a bit. I got chances for free classes in breakdance and capoeira (done the former, the latter on Monday).
I was prepared to work so hard for all of these successes, and a part of me was even a little disappointed that they came so easily. And part of me feels guilty for no good reason. But most of me is just bemused and encouraged that things don't have to always be exhausting.
This mixed bag of reactions, in retrospect, is an anatomy of habits. I drew one of myself once. It was more or less a stick figure; I'm too impatient to draw well, and that wasn't the point. Like an anatomical drawing it was covered in labels, but they identified behavior. At the collarbone: "caved shoulders– social disengagement– artificially low voice;" a physical habit followed by the social habits it reinforced.
My self-doubting and self-destructive fringe reactions to all this luck are like organs that evolution has rendered useless. "That was too easy"– a pinky toe, which might make the difference in keeping my balance someday, but in the meantime will get stepped on a lot. "Why should I have this when other people don't?"– a nice soft pink spleen that fills with pain until it's ready to burst and needs to be removed. I know a man who died of this, or so I'm told. "Gonna wake up any minute now"– a vestigial tail, less useful than the dream it suggests my life might be. "I don't deserve this"– a cancer cell. I get frustrated that I'm still subject to these voices after such a long fight to put them aside; but then, they used to be louder, and I used to listen. They used to seem reasonable; now they seem knee-jerk and out of place, and maybe at this rate, in defiance of all anatomical precedent, they will blacken and fall off, ruining this metaphor for good.
To hasten the coming of that day, I stretch my feet and calves and shoulders every morning, push my limits, and plow ahead fast, but not too fast.
Among these voices, one asks a more complicated and completely legitimate question. Since high school I've been fighting to claim control of my time. For the last year the battle was particularly intense– I'd cut back on my work hours and trim some unproductive habits, then go out and audition for a role I wasn't sure I wanted. My mind was a swirl of contradictions, "a tangle of loose ends;" I needed a good slap to the face, and I got it in the form of a car knocking me from my bike into the gutter, pushing my already injured feet to their limits. Even then I fought on, shambling like a zombie through work and rehearsals; after all, I had commitments to finish and a living to make. I survived on sympathy tips and gave a performance that was by turns neglected or overcharged with desperate energy. When the show closed, at a huge cost to my pride, I gave up; I turned down another role, quit my job, and dragged myself around my house on my hands for a couple weeks before relocating to my hometown to heal. I barely saw anyone out of embarrassment– the spry warrior cum cripple– I lost a lot of weight, and I realized I had complete control of my time. Since April, with a few exceptions, far fewer than most people, I do what I want, when I want.
The question: after a long fight for freedom, what do you do with it once you've got it?
I reread and wrote enough to let my head catch up with my feet; I worked out constantly and researched ways to do it better; I biked until my knees hurt, tuned my bike so it wouldn't hurt my knees and biked some more; I wrote and recorded a song and worked on editing it; I read plays and selected monologues; I job-hunted and rewrote my resume and forced out cover letters; I called agents like clockwork until one of them called me back; I talked to people I hadn't seen in years; I sang new, thunderous high notes; I planned meals, worked in the garden and spent time with my mother; and I did my foot stretches every day. I lightened my burdens by finally doing things I'd put off for too long. But there was almost no method or discipline, just the freedom for impulse, and a whirlwind of impulses.
When you get what you always wanted, you meet a whole new range of problems on the other side; they were with you all along, eclipsed by the thing you were focused on. At first I thought they were a glimpse of what I was to face a few more years down the line, when I achieved this freedom for good. And then the job offer: I'll be setting my own hours, and this freedom is around to stay. Oh shit, I have to deal with this now. Gotta be a monk. One eye closed in meditation, the other spotting zombies to thrash. Yes, I have a skewed sense of our ecclesiastical history.
Last night as I tried to fall asleep, I was filled with ideas. This is typical, but usually they are ideas I want to write down, and I can easily turn on my lamp, do so, and roll over, relieved and peaceful. Last night was my first impulse to act a monologue. I saw a whole new take on it, one I really liked, really quick and spontaneous and just weird enough to charm the attention; but rather than getting up and doing it, which might have woken my roommates, I lay in place, mouthing it to myself and going halfway through the motions. One of those occasional occasions when I'm happy no one's in my bed with me. A brand new impulse I've never felt before; no clearer sign of deep, fundamental change I can think of.
The impulse is there, the need is there, and the freedom is there. Just the execution remains. Not a new situation– if art is a two-part process of inquiry and synthesis, I've always erred on the side of too much inquiry. My days have been full of research, one more reread to make sure I've got it, structural planning . . . screw it. Synthesize. It seems like it should be hard but it isn't, and in retrospect I'll laugh cause it was even easier.
More on that soon; I've got doing to do.
On Specialties, Renaissance Men and Mere Experts
As someone who wants to engage deeply with many passions, I'm interested in the idea of the Renaissance Man, or polymath (from the Greek poly "many" + mathis "learned"). I hope to find my way into a list of polymaths myself one day, with the parenthetical note (theater/biomechanics/etymology/historical linguistics/constructed languages/harmony/literature/theater history/friendship/bread/bon mots). Yet there are some who say such an achievement is not possible, such as Julius von Schlosser, who wrote that "an universal genius is not likely to attain to distinction and to eminence in any thing. To achieve her best results, and to produce her most matured fruit, Genius must bend all her energies in one direction; strive for one object; keep her brain and hand upon one desired purpose and aim." However, for the moment I will console myself with the facts that Julius von Schlosser
a) is dead
b) isn't even important enough to merit a Wikipedia article
and therefore hope that maybe I can defy his edict.
In my defense, the fact that the term even exists suggests that something once existed meriting the title. And Wikipedia's citation-laden and therefore linkworthy lists of polymaths and Renaissance men are both long enough and full of household names to inspire hope that the polymath is not a mere superstition. It could be that von Schlosser didn't believe because he hadn't seen– in fact the very term Renaissance man highlights an interesting phenomenon: polymaths tend to appear in waves. Greece/Egypt/Italy in the late years BC, Western Europe during the Renaissance, Persia and the Ottoman Empire at large from the eighth to twelfth centuries AD and to a lesser degree the three centuries after. The reason is as obvious as that a spark begets fire. Great discoveries were made, great schools were founded, and groups came together to challenge and strengthen each other's ideas. No doubt history has been fraught with countless potential geniuses, of one subject or many, who were not born into opportunity, and they died nameless or lived as local celebrities.
Now back to the present, and the struggle to become a polymath in our current circumstances. My friend Tyler, an up-and-coming Renaissance man (corporatology/linguistics/constructed languages/guest service/choreography/rhyme theory/incorporating tofu into any dish) if ever there was one, confided in me (don't tell) that within the coming decade, the retail checkout with its familiar aisle, cash register and disgruntled or overenthusiastic attendant will disappear, replaced by an arch. As you pass through the arch with your purchases, a sensor scans a label on each item and within seconds gives you a receipt; your cell phone, which is also a credit card, instantly completes the transaction. A single worker, a trained guest service expert and arch technician, will supervise several arches at once. At least in retail chains large enough to afford this technology, the ancient profession of cashier– which in the past century has already made the transition from skilled to unskilled work as the cash register became more self-sufficient– will disappear, eliminating thousands and thousands of jobs across the country. A loss for the unskilled many and a gain for the specialized few (those who design, improve, maintain and supervise the new technology). Sound familiar?
As machines and (what an offensive pairing) immigrants replace unskilled and manual laborers, much skilled work is leaving the American market in favor of outsourcing– which is not just for manufacturing, programming and tech support anymore– check out https://yourmaninindia.com/ for one example of an outsourced personal assistant service– thanks to Tim Ferriss, a self-declared Renaissance man whose qualifications I will leave to his own words, and thanks also to Michael for referring me to him. Ten dollars an hour will buy a better quality of life, and hence better services, in India than it will in the United States. Simple profit-driven math.
As all of these trends carry forward, the job market for American citizens will increasingly be limited to higher-level skilled work, idea production/entrepreneurship, and food service. Hyper-specialization is the logical next step from here. The very existence of for-profit blogs is proof that we're more or less already there. The interesting questions this brings up about the class divide in America are material for another time.
The trouble here is that to make a living on specialized work and therefore be able to focus all one's time on it requires a higher level of expertise than one can often achieve in college. If I say so myself, I live in a very talented house. My five roommates and I are all talented and dedicated in our fields and yet graduated into the job market at a time when hiring was too big a risk to take. Therefore we work in food service, road construction, cell phone sales and repair, grocery, and retail management. Yet in our late night conversations, our gripes about the entitledness of the American customer inevitably leads to world politics, art and economy and sets off a chain of new ideas and new projects. It's no Library of Alexandria, but it's way better than nothing, and at the moment a fun music video is coming from it.
Though intuition tells me as much, scientific observation backs up the fact that expertise is based on experience, ergo memory. In observing the neural activity of experts at work, Chase and Simon noted that concerning knowledge of a particular field, experts access long-term memory nearly at the rate that novices access short-term memory. Ericsson and Staszewski tested memory in such experts as waiters and running enthusiasts; the running enthusiast could memorize 21-digit number sequences by relating sequences of digits to running-related distances, times, dates and age categories. Rudimentary proof that expertise in one field can roll over into another through metaphor. Check out some info on both studies.
Despite the necessity of putting my time into a day job, I still find hope for being a polymath, because I have chosen fields that overlap. Personal growth is artistic growth. Directing a show gives me a different perspective on acting and makes me a better actor, which makes me more articulate and therefore a better writer, and success in these areas bolsters my confidence, relaxes my body and helps me sing better and understand the changes that take place in the body during creative release. Essentially I acquire skills that cross the boundaries of any one field, and I observe change, which gives me a broader perspective. It may be that there will come a point when skills diverge from this shared life learning; if I have to make a choice to narrow my focus, it will be then.
So what do you think? Are we in a renaissance? Is there anyone you'd call a modern-day Renaissance person?
On Statements of Purpose (The Fun and the Less Fun)
If I'm to write here on a regular basis, it has to be for a very present, compelling reason. I'm a Renaissance man wannabe; I've seriously considered careers as a novelist, playwright, actor, director, fitness trainer, singer, lyricist, composer, language scholar, language builder, teacher and massage therapist, and I'll be sorely disappointed if on the banks of the Lethe, before I drink, I don't get to turn over a memory of each of these things one last time before I let the river take them. Naturally having so many ambitions, I like to kill entire flocks of birds with one stone whenever possible, so if I'm going to invest my time, I had better be rewarded with a rain of feathers.
The common thread between all these things is that I like to knock down walls and untie knots, particularly in collaboration with another person. And whether that's through the body– clearing away through exercise or touch or experience the pain and ignorance that may keep us from realizing our dreams– or through something on the inside, the result is hopefully the same.
So what does a blog do?
I'm faced with the same question about another, less enjoyable statement of purpose, or rather a whole flock of them. Namely they are the jobs I am applying for, and with any luck I can kill them all with one stone that I edit slightly for each. I hate, hate, hate applying for jobs, particularly when I already resent the job I don't yet have because it will inevitably take away from free time that I could spend killing birds. (I love animals. I'm a vegetarian. When a bug is crawling on me I carefully pick it up and set it on a leaf. I get sad weeding the garden. No animals were harmed in the writing of this post.)
A good friend of mine has stated that he will not take a job if the work involved isn't something he'd do for free. I adore this idea and hopefully will be living by it as soon as possible. In the meantime, a dayjob is a necessary evil, and employers make it worse by demanding that you state a "career objective"– namely, why this job lines up with your deeper desires. They know the virtue of having an employee that really loves their work, and they hope to get those people. They hope that their bullshit detectors will buzz when they read submissions from applicants who would rather be singing and dancing for a living, or testing video games, or being kept by a rich lawyer whose unspeakable desires they must occasionally fulfill. Specifically I'm applying for office jobs–come on, we're over here now– I had to leave my last job because I injured my feet and couldn't keep up the pace of walking all day anymore, so I have to get a sit-down type of work. I'm hoping that deep down, all office workers really want to be saxophonists like Mr. Kirby from the classic American play You Can't Take It with You, and that I as an actor and writer, someone paid to generate truth on demand, will be better than them at finding a "career objective" that lands me points.
So what did I put down?
All the time I was working in a restaurant, I told myself, at least I'm picking up some social skills. Seriously, I am way less shy than a year and four months ago when I started working at Slim Goodies Diner, and even if I'm still a natural introvert, I am much less likely to dissolve into vowels mid-sentence.
So, marrying the things I might learn from an office job with the things I know an employer wants to hear, my "career objective" popped out as follows:
"To obtain a position that utilizes my skills in developing interpersonal relationships, written and spoken communication, planning, organization and creative problem solving as well as challenging them to develop further."
I don't know which is worse, knowing that I'm putting out this pathetic statement in the hopes of getting hired or knowing that I sort of mean it. If I'm to work a day job, I want to go home tempered, better equipped to do the things I really love. Or else I want a job that gives me lots of free time to work on my stuff, but I hear those don't pay so well.
All this to say I always feel a little bit like I'm being watched whenever I try to articulate a purpose. It seems so PR-oriented. And an older me, or a younger me rather, would have said, "You don't need to know my purpose! I don't know my purpose! I'll figure it out as I go!" And any time I try to state a purpose I end up thinking more about what the listener would like to hear instead of the truth, and a vigorous search for the truth has been the goal of the last few months of my life.
In the eight months since I studied with Anne Bogart at Columbia University, the buzzword of hers that has most stuck with me is "articulation." As I understand it, a violent act of making a choice and in doing so killing all the choices one did not make. It is a sharp-edged action quite distinct from my blunt ideal of a single stone that accomplishes as many purposes as possible. And articulation of purpose is a particularly important way to start any enterprise– killing all the endless possibilities of what it could have been and creating a bound– and within its boundaries infinite– expression of direction.
Wandering is a noble purpose and one of my favorites; I have a notebook designated for it. I go there when I need to clarify my intentions or explore something I don't quite understand. It is my sharpener. But I've determined to keep my wanderings to free evenings and the bounds of that notebook and to act with guided intention the rest of the time.
When I write here, I want to have a conversation about how we make our way in the world as artists. How we reclaim our time and energy, how we make our unrealistic dreams happen in a world that is not always friendly. I want to articulate my discoveries and pose questions. I want to embrace my flaw of loving too many things and discover a way to fit them all into my life. That is the impossible and endless mission at hand. No PR here but a vain effort to impress the crowd and I hope you will have ample cause to gasp at my acrobatics.
My "blog objective" is:
"to articulate, test and exchange ideas and discoveries about how to make one's art the center of one's life."
How's that?
What a dusty corner.
This entry is both the intent and the action of bringing this blog back to life. If only they always happened at the same time!
I started this blog with the idea of documenting my artistic (so far, directorial) endeavors. To keep the bridge short and the canyon narrow, after Bobrauschenbergamerica closed, I took some time off, worked as an actor a few times, started working too much, was hit by a car on my bike and messed up my feet, having to return to my childhood home to recover. It's been a good reminder of my options– as guilty as I feel for having a safety net, it does no one any good for me not to use it when I need it. And it's also been some good thinking time; I haven't had free time per se in the last six years and it's about time my head caught up with my feet.
So I'll spend a little while here simplifying the revelations and affirmations that I have so easily achieved in my handicapped state, and from there, who knows what we'll launch into? I have some projects in mind and some in hand– there's plenty to say.

On Types of Mornings and Subcutaneous Experience
I woke up this morning remembering dreams:
- I ate part of a hamburger or some other meat sandwich that I was preparing for a culinary contest. It was injected with orange juice?
- A woman who used to teach at my high school tried to seduce me during a church service where I was supposed to sing; I rejected her. As they began to rearrange the pews I went out in the rain to talk to a friend and soon found my bike rolling out toward me into traffic; I stopped it just in time. I also discovered a book of sheet music that belonged to me lying on the ground and saved it from the rain. It turned out that during my absence this woman had tried to hide and/or destroy my bike, my SUV (!), and my booksack, or, as she phrased it in a vengeful email, "the avocado that contains your possessions." She had drowned my notebooks in a swimming pool; I was furious but insisted to myself that when I woke up my notebooks would still exist.
- I wandered through a maze of dark, dirty high school hallways and subterranean tunnels with a poorly organized library at its roots; I felt a need to escape the people around me, who were either socially awkward or, I suspected, the ghosts of Columbia University scholars.
Take this against my awakening yesterday at 4:45 a.m. after about four hours of sleep; I remembered no dreams, but the moment I awoke I thought, "That cello riff for song C could be simpler." My mind continued in this analytical vein for the first few moments I walked around, rapidly listing the problems I was facing and the most expedient way to solve them– and doing a much better job than my daytime waking mind typically can.
All this to say my basic habits of thought are changing now and I never know how I'll wake up.
I sat to eat breakfast this morning, a disordered list of things to do clacking in my head. If there was a top to the list, it was only because the papers for my work for the Forum for Equality were sitting right next to me. We had a meeting last night and I got my tasks for the week, including compiling a list of all my contacts for LGBT organizations at local universities. Seeing the need to get this over with, an old thought said, "What am I doing now?"
"I'm eating." In a more theatrical mood, I might have meant "I'm being present to the experience of eating."
"But what am I doing now that's useful?"
"I'm eating. I need to do it to survive. And it's fun." I was eating plain yogurt with rolled oats, raw sunflower nuts and a few raisins and dark chocolate pieces, one of my favorite breakfasts. There's a lot in that bowl to pay attention to.
Take this against the task I could be working on, this list of LGBT organization contacts. I'm eager to do it– to get it over with, really– and move on to other things. And I'm glad that my work will facilitate what FFE needs to do in the future. But it's not fun and I don't need to do it to survive. It fulfills a sense of "should," this sense that I'm contributing to one of my communities, and I sometimes feel guilty without it. I've never thought of it this way, but I'd probably feel guilty about not eating after a while too. By the judgement of the me of today, eating wins. Unfortunately, this whole debate, then my decision to write about it, meant I actually didn't pay much attention to my breakfast. This urge to multitask is really, really deep-rooted and I find I trick myself about it all the time.
From this experience I have created a scale of ranking for tasks that I feel merit a place in my life.
reorganizing contact information
At the top are things that are fun to do, necessary to do and satisfying to have done; at the bottom, things that are only satisfying to have done. Any less than that and I hope not to have to waste my time. Things at the bottom can be done in a hasty way to make time for things at the top. I eat every day, yes. But there are days when I remember eating with such attention and receiving such profound sensory detail from what I was doing that it set off a chain of memories, thoughts, stories and realizations that have stuck with me since. It's awesome that a daily experience can do this, and can probably do it daily if one exercises that quality of attention. It's a slow skill to learn, and the slowness frustrates me sometimes, but this change is an experience too, and I remember that at one time, even just a couple years ago, I lived by a scale opposite this one. Change does eventually come through.
On this scale, theater falls very close to eating. Much like eating, I'm never done with theater. It's an extremely complex experience full of associations, and the need keeps coming back. It deserves time, and it deserves the slow, deeply observant kind of time that makes an experience stay with you.
An experience is valuable regardless of where it falls on this scale. I'm very glad to have volunteered for Forum for Equality and good things have come of it, including the knowledge that their sort of work is neither my forte nor my interest.
This is a resolution. As I exercise my attention and my instinct for truth, I will rigorously examine everything I do and, thanking the lower experiences for having happened, let them fall aside and make room for experiences that fill my life more completely.
This writing is an exercise toward this resolution. If this struggle is worth winning, it is worth spending time on, and so it's worth writing about before I do the stuff I should do.

LONGVIEW/GREGG COUNTY (KYTX) - Longview Independent School District taxpayers won't have trouble knowing their property tax rate this year. It hasn't changed since 2010.
In a noon meeting today, trustees adopted an $84 million budget for 2014 that includes just over $1 million more in spending than in the 2012-2013 budget. This year's spending plan includes pay raises for district employees.
The tax rate will remain unchanged at $1.513 per $100 of property value.

Unanswered: Access 2003 problem
Using the office 2003 beta for testing for our office, seems fine so far, although the new buttons look a bit space age! I have zillions of hyperlinks on my databases (to other access databases / forms etc) and when you click them in Access 2003 it comes up with a message about how hyperlinks can be harmful to your computer etc and you have to click ok each time before you can move on.
This is by design and not a bug.
Anybody using Access 2003 yet - how do you get rid of this message ??

Featured: Smartphone Patents Put Google in Hot Seat with FTC Again
Google and the Federal Trade Commission have been getting to know one another quite well for more than a year now as the FTC has been investigating the search tech company in a number of areas. Most recently, the FTC has sets its sights on Google's interest in mobile.
Black Friday 2017 Deals: Find Great Deals on Android Smartphones, TV's, Smart Speakers, Chromebooks and More.
When Google bought Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion, the company purchased 17,000 patents. Between this large influx of new legal armor and what Google already had claim to, the company is in possession of many "standard-essential patents." This means that Google has patents on core technologies that enable smartphones and tablets to work. The FTC is concerned that Google is not playing nice with all of the other smartphone and tablet companies out there who want to compete in the U.S. market.
The Google Motorola unit offered assurances of "fair and reasonable" terms for licensing, but apparently not everyone is convinced. On Tuesday, Google said in a statement, "We take our commitments to license on fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms very seriously, and we are happy to answer any questions."
The government has fair reason to be concerned over an issue like this, not only for the mobile tech industry but any industry. When companies who hold several standards-essential are resistant to working with other brands, the entire industry – and customers – suffer. Edith Ramirez, and F.T.C. commissioner, told the Senate in July that the "Holdup and the threat of holdup can deter innovation by increasing costs and uncertainty for other industry participants, including other patent holders."
It's not just Google that wants to buy up all the patents. Apple and Microsoft were among six companies working together to outbid Google on a bundle of 6,000 patents. Altogether, the companies raised $4.5 billion for the deal, and they have pledged to license standard patents at reasonable terms, much to the delight of the Justice Department.
Turning back to Google's behaviors, a Justice Department statement said, "Google's commitments were more ambiguous and do not provide the same direct confirmation of its standard-essential patent licensing policies."
Apple plays hardball all the time with their patents, but there is a big difference in the way that courts view the behavior. Apple focuses its patents on design and the user interface, which aren't standard-essential patents.
Former antitrust division chief economist Carl Shapiro clarified that with standard-essential patents, "you have made promises to license and that changes the game. You've agreed to attenuate your property rights to expand the industry as a whole."
If Google is found to be bullying the rest of the industry with their patents, they could deal with severe penalties from the U.S. government.

The Kid Brother Trailer (1987)
23 March 1987
Kenny is a Canadian kid who has a couple of pals and, like a lot of the other lads, idolizes the jock his pretty older sister has chosen as her boyfriend. However, Kenny was born without legs or even the lower part of his body. He gets around (quite well, in fact) on his arms. He has been given a prosthesis that makes him look "normal," but he protests, rightly, that it was made so as to keep other people from getting upset at the sight of him -- it only slows him down. When his sister runs away during the filming of a documentary about how his family has coped with his handicap, he embarks on a solo journey to Philadelphia to find her. There, she pours out her heart, complaining that everything she values in her life has been turned inside out so as to serve and support her legless brother.
