Trip Information
The Manaslu Circuit Trek is one of the most popular trekking destinations in the remote area of Nepal. Manaslu routes relatively seek few trekkers and have not been developed and are basically deprived of basic facilities. In fact, the tea houses in the Manaslu Circuit were only developed before 5 years. But, when the Annapurna Circuit Trekking route was constructed, Manaslu Circuit has developed a lot since then.
The Manaslu Conservation Area project encouraged an additional number of tea houses in the route. Now you can enjoy your trekking to Manaslu Circuit at its finest condition.
Normally, you can take a package of 15 days to complete the Manaslu Circuit Trekking but Mission Himalaya Treks and Expeditions PVT LTD will suggest you a few extra days for itinerary extensions so that you can enjoy other destinations like Tsum Valley on the way of Manaslu Circuit. Manaslu Circuit Trek route follows the rugged gorge of the evergreen river Budhi Gandaki before crossing the Larkya Pass and descending down to another amazing river named Marshyandgi Khola after the pass. Manaslu Circuit Trek with us will also benefit you with one of the easy but high passes namely Larkya Pass. Larkya Pass Trekking is also considered the snowy pass, as sometimes there occurs heavy snowfall surrounding the Manaslu.
Manaslu Circuit Trekking is difficult and riskier in the western side of Manaslu where deep snowfalls are likely to be found.
Along the trek, Manaslu trail crosses from Gorkha and join over the Budhi Gandaki at Arughat.
Manaslu Circuit Trekking route includes trekking through the village and cultivated fertilized land for some days. But the gorge is narrow after Jagat - the village inhabited by Gurungs. You will experience the Tibetian influenced culture after 12 days of Manaslu Circuit which is just a few kilometers away from Narmu Tibetian Border in the North.
From Samdu to Bhimtang, there exists no permanent habitation. In Larkya Phedi, you can see a large stone shelter before crossing the Larkya Pass. In the pass, you will be surrounded by the beautiful beast Mt. Manaslu ( 8163m) on your left and also you will see the landscapes of snow-capped mountains whose stunning beauty of glaciers will definitely make your best moment of your trekkings. The itinerary continues after you have crossed Bhimtang Can, which joins the main Annapurna Circuit Trek at Dharapani. After we finished Dudh Khola, with the beautiful Rhododendron and pine forest which would normally take 4 hours but as you start to enjoy the beautiful mountain range, where birds and flowers will leave you amazed you can take a day too. However, you will be advised to Pack Lunch and Drinks because of deprived facilities in Larke Pass for a day.
When the weather in Manaslu is good, you will enjoy the view of panoramic mountains. Manaslu Trek will additionally benefit you with the fascinating culture, amazing landscape, biological diversity with superb Himalayan VIews of Annapurna Himalayan range, Himalchuli, Shringi Ngadi Chuli along with Ganesh Himal makes the Manaslu trekking one of Nepal's lost Himalayan Gem.
Since Manaslu Region has been restricted by Nepal's Government, you are not allowed to go trekking in that route. A minimum of two persons is required to get the permits of a trek along with the local guide. The permit must be processed through a registered agency. You can check Manaslu Trek Permit to know more about the permits and its charge.
Manaslu Larkya Pass (5135m) the highest point in the Manaslu Circuit Trekking route. You can grab the finest view when you trek in Autumn or Spring season. These seasons are the best time to trek in Manaslu but we arrange around the year as per your desired time for you. Manaslu regions have also four different options: Lower Manaslu Trekking, Manaslu Tsum Valley Trekking, Tsum Valley Trekking and Manaslu Circuit Trekking itself. Among them, Manaslu Larke Pass trekking is popular trekking options according to trekkers.
Manaslu Trekking: Trek in the Mountain of Spirit
Manaslu Trekking is getting more and more popular because of its newly trekking destination. However, there are still few trekkers as compared to the established trekking routes in the Annapurna Region. The circuit trek gives stunning routes with the spectacular views in every step. You will see the shining diamond Mt. Manaslu when the sun sprinkles its rays over the 8163m above peak the scenario is just magnificent with Ganesh Himal Range on the side, the horizon is just peaceful beauty. Along the Manaslu Trek, you encounter an interesting mix of authentic Hindu and Tibetan Buddhist villages. The trail follows the spectacular Budhi Gandaki river all the way from Arughat to its source which is just below the Larkya Pass(512m).
Manaslu Trek Route
Starting around 700 m, the landscapes incredibly vary from the green countryside and lush forests to spectacular high altitude landscapes skirting huge glaciers. Crossing the Larkya Pass (5125 m) is tough when there is snow. However, the stunning landscape with the mighty Himalayas towering straight around you and the spectacular glaciers make it more than worth the effort. The Pass links the Budhi Gandaki with the Marsyangdi valley. The descent passes through beautiful alpine meadows at Bhimtang before joining the main Annapurna Circuit Route heading to the trailhead at Besisahar. The Manaslu Trekking is easily accessible from Kathmandu. It originally starts in the town of Arughat or Gorkha, however, with roads being built many trekkers start at either Barpak or Soti Khola, a bit further up the trail.
We start trekking from Soti Khola and end in Chyamche or Besisahar where it is also the starting point for trekking in the Annapurna Circuit.

Well, it's been an interesting news week for those of us who work and live in the Chicago area. I work in what's called the loop in Chicago - so called because of how public transportation "loops" around an area - mostly the financial district. Here's the wiki definition:
It just so also happens that the building I work in is only one block away from where President-Elect Obama has his Chicago transition office. So, lots of law enforcement in the area.
But add to this the recent arrest of the governor and the protest against the Bank of America for calling the loan on a local company and the workers staging a sit-in, and you have a news week dominated by Chicago politics and the local economy.
Now I'm originally from the west coast where seeing movie stars at restaurants and on the street isn't that unusual - at least not when I was living there - but this amount of media attention with the cameras and news crews is somewhat flabbergasting. It really is like living in a circus.
Now interestingly enough, most people think that the name - Windy City - is mostly attributed to the prairie winds, but if we look at cartoons that existed in the late 1800's and into the 1900's, it has has a strong link to the blustery or windy politicians from Chicago. Food for thought in the context of recent events. Once again, here's wiki's take on it:
It's going to be very interesting to see what happens over the next few weeks let alone the next few days. Stay tuned!

I'm not far from Obama's headquarters either. Lots more cops on the street. Also, lots more interference with my network card for my computer because of their radios.

Provincia Britannia - Minutes - 2004 Chester (Nova Roma)
|Line 3:
|Line 3:

Revision as of 19:35, 23 March 2009
Home| Latíné | Deutsch | Español | Français | Italiano | Magyar | Português | Română | Русский | English
Minutes of the provincial meeting a.d. VI Kal. Quin. ‡ Cn. Salvio Cn. Equitio cos. ‡ MMDCCLVII a.u.c.
Taken by A. Apollonius Cordus.
Present: C. Fabia Livia (Governor & chair), A. Apollonius Cordus (taking minutes), C. Flavia Aureliana, A. Gratius Garseius Avitus, C. Moravius Laureatus, and Michael Schofield (observing but not voting).
Appointment of legates
The Governor C. Fabia Livia confirmed her edict, first given the previous night, appointing as legates C. Moravius Laureatus and A. Apollonius Cordus.
Designs for a provincial emblem, & mottos
As agreed at the last provincial meeting, Cordus had produced various designs for a provincial emblem based on the constellation of the Great Bear, which the Romans believed to be located directly above Britain and of a similar shape. The general preference was for design 3c (see figure 1), though 2c, 4c, and 2f were also mentioned. It was also agreed that Cordus would try to make the laurels a bit less chunky, and would try to produce some versions with the constellation placed on its end, so as to look more like Britain.
At the last meeting there had also been discussion of a provincial motto, and it had been decided to defer the decision until an emblem had been chosen. Various quotations concerning the Great Bear were suggested, including ones from Homer, Vitruvius, and Ovid, but the choice fell upon the phrase "facta hominum, mores, pietatem et fidem noscamus" from the prologue to Plautus' play Rudens ("The Rope"), which Avitus translated as "let us learn about the deeds of men, their customs, piety, and faithfulness". The prologue as a whole is spoken by the star Arcturus, and explains that Jupiter has placed the stars in the sky to watch the actions of humans and submit evidence to Jupiter, who acts as judge. It was thought that the phrase served a useful double purpose of reminding us that our deeds are observed (always a useful thing for a government to remember) and as a literal description of what we do in Nova Roma - learn the deeds of men, &c. It can also be shortened to make a punchier version, "facta hominum noscamus" ("let us study the deeds of men"), to go with the emblem. Cordus agreed to make some versions of the emblem with the motto attached, preferably in the elegant typeface so often used by Curius Saturninus.
The emblem, motto, and the reasoning behind both will appear on the website.
The Governor applauded the newsletters so far, and their editors Laureatus and Aureliana.
It was agreed that in due course paper copies ought to be made available to give to prospective citizens, to show the concrete benefits of citizenship and the real-world presence of the province. Copies could also be included in 'welcome packs' for new citizens, along with other useful things. Printed copies could also be put in bookshops, museums, and libraries.
The editors agreed to include a report of the provincial meeting in the next issue.
Cordus agreed to send the emblem design to the editors for use in future newsletters.
Laureatus commented that it was hard to get submissions.
It was suggested that a copy be posted to current British citizens to drum up support, but the Governor mentioned that, owing to the current lack of a central webmaster (after the resignation of Octavius Germanicus), she had not yet been given the addresses of British citizens. Laureatus said that he would try to get this information for her in his capacity as assistant to the Censor.
Next Meeting
With great enthusiasm, all agreed that it would good for the next meeting to be a big one, with as many people as possible.
London was agreed as the location. The possibility of taking in a production of Iphigenia At Aulis, or A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, both in the current season at the National Theatre, was mentioned, and Cordus and Livia agreed to investigate when those productions would be showing. Cordus strongly recommended Forum (a musical by Stephen Sondheim based on the plays of Plautus) to anyone who hadn't seen it, pointing out that the film, with Zero Mostel, Buster Keaton, Michael Crawford & others, was available on video.
Autumn was agreed as the best period, with November looking most likely.
Laureatus said that he would be able to book rooms at one of the several London Hiltons.
It was suggested that the agenda for any administrative business should be published in advance, and that this should be done for all future meetings if possible.
The Governor explained that the website was not at that time under her control, as it was still hosted by Iunia Laeca, who hopes soon to hand it over. She also said that there was plenty of cheap hosting available, and that this would be a good use for some of the share of the province's taxes which the province is allowed to claim back from the central treasury. The province could also buy its own domain name. Avitus offered to translate the website into Latin.
Suggested content included a map of Roman sites in Britain, and a clickable map which could be used to find citizens in one's local area, with links to their album civium pages. Also a calendar of events, historical information, statistics about the province, and an area reserved for citizens, or perhaps only for assidui citizens. Avitus could advertise his Latin-speaking meetings on the website also.
The Governor suggested setting up a provincial library. Any British citizen would be free to add his or her own books, journals, &c. to the catalogue, which would be available on the website. Then anyone who wanted to borrow a book would be able to contact the owner and ask to borrow it (either by post or in person) for a certain length of time, agreeing to pay for any damage or loss. Books could also be sold through the library. It could also contain an archive of minutes of previous provincial meetings.
Mission statement
Laureatus suggested thinking about a mission statement for the province. We discussed who the province serves (Roman Britons, or British Romans), and what specific services it could provide (the newsletter, the library). We discussed what it ought to do (encourage & support people, promote Romanitas). The importance of extending our appeal beyond academics and students was emphasized. Festivals and parties were suggested as future possibilities. It was agreed that the province provided five main types of service: events (such as meetings), facilities (such as the library), information (e.g. through the website), and support and encouragement for existing citizens, and recruitment of new citizens.
It was suggested that charitable status might be useful, as might a provincial address or mail box service - the Governor will investigate these ideas. It was thought that headed paper might be nice.
Further discussion of a mission statement was deferred until the next meeting.
E-mail list
The Governor said she would like to make it more British, and reduce the spam. She explained that she currently had no control of the list, since it was owned by Cassius Iulianus (S, C, PM, PP). Former governor Silanus, who is currently the moderator, has asked Iulianus twice to hand over ownership of the list to Livia. She said that if that failed she was minded to start a new list, with multiple owners to make sure such things couldn't happen again.
Either when in control of the current list or after starting a new one, the Governor said she would begin by putting everyone on moderated status, to cut out spam. She was also thinking of saying that current non-citizen subscribers would be deleted in two months unless they posted (so that British non-citizens could come to observe the list but wouldn't stay on for ages doing nothing).
The question was raised whether non-Britons ought to be on the list at all. The possibility of having two lists - one for Britons only, the other open to all - was dismissed as unwieldy. It was decided that it was good for non-Britons to be welcome, but that they ought to be placed on permanent moderation.
The idea of a pan-European list was mooted, to make organizing rallies easier and to foster ties among European provinces; the Governor agreed to talk to other European governors about the idea. [Nota bene – we have since discovered that there already is such a list, and the Governor is going to talk to its owner, Apollonius Cicatrix.]
European Rally
It was felt that it would soon be Britain's turn to host the European Rally. The Governor pointed out that there was a move afoot to establish some rules for deciding where the rallies will take place in the future.
Accommodation, activities, and access were identified as important elements. It was felt that the most distinctive and unique Roman feature in Britain would be Hadrian's Wall, and that therefore Newcastle or Carlisle would be good sites.
It was asked whether funds were available for the host province, but no one was sure.
The Governor said she would make a list of ideas for possible activities for a rally, and that anyone who thought of anything ought to e-mail her. Aureliana said that she and Michael could investigate the facilities available when they go to visit the Wall.
In competitive spirit, it was suggested that it would be good to top the previous rallies by holding a full week's worth of activities - this would allow people to come for the whole time, or at the beginning or the end, and therefore might increase attendance. But it was also agreed that next year would be too soon, and that 2006 or 7 were more realistic goals.
Any Other Business
Laureatus suggested a provincial census, and said that he would be able to do it in the second half of October. We could contact all British citizens to inform them about upcoming events, and perhaps post them a copy of the newsletter.
After a trip to the bar to order lunch, it was suggested that for the next meeting there ought to be a fund set up at the beginning, to which everyone present could contribute, and out of which food, drinks, bus tickets &c. could be bought, to make things fairer. This led to suggestions of an extra provincial tax, or a fee to use the members' area of the website, but nothing firm was decided in this regard.
There being no further business, the meeting was closed.

Anterior Thoracic Decompression and Fusion
This procedure is performed to take pressure off the anterior or front aspect of the spinal cord in the thoracic spine. Usually disc herniation, tumor, infected abscess, or fracture fragments are pressing on the spinal cord compromising spinal cord function.
Adequate decompression cannot be performed in the back side of the spinal cord as spinal cord cannot be retracted or manipulated as the offending agent is directly in front of the spinal cord.
Resection of a rib is necessary to enter the chest cavity. Occasionally patient can develop pain in the area of the rib resection so called post thoracotomy pain which can persist and that can be usually treated with a procedure called intercostals nerve block or ablation.
Chest tubes are required to drain the chest cavity after the surgery and they are usually removed several days after the surgery if there is less than 50 cc to 100cc of drainage in 24 hour interval.
Instrumentation such as screws and rods and plates may be used in addition to bone graft or cages to stabilize the spine. Additional posterior surgery using pedicle screws and rods may be necessary to further stabilize the spine.
Potential complications of the procedure includes risk of neurological injury including paralysis, wound infection, lung injury, accumulation of lymph fluid called chyle in the chest cavity, hardware failure, failure of fusion to occur, and thoracotomy pain as mentioned above. The surgery is performed in conjunction with a general surgeon.

Not that anyone should be surprised after the tease from last week, and the leaks we saw over the weekend, but Angry Birds Star Wars is now official.
Rovio announced this morning that it is bringing the Star Wars brand into the Angry Birds universe on Nov. 8. Based on the original trilogy of films, you will now see the birds and pigs doing battle in familiar locations such as the desert planet of Tatooine and inside the corridors of the Death Star. As you can see from the artwork above, the pids will be representing the Empire while the birds will be decked out to look like our favorite heroes of the Rebellion.
The game will be available on iOS, Android, Amazon Kindle Fire, Mac, PC, Windows Phone and Windows 8 on Nov. 8, and merchandise will begin showing up in stores on Oct. 28.
NEW YORK – (October 8, 2012) –Rovio Entertainment and Lucasfilm Ltd. announced today a new blockbuster entertainment franchise collaboration; Angry Birds Star Wars. Launching worldwide on November 8, the unique partnership will combine all the fun of the classic Angry Birds and Angry Birds Space with the characters, stories and settings of the epic space fantasy, Star Wars.
From the deserts of Tatooine to the depths of the Death Star – the game and merchandise will feature the Angry Birds characters starring as the iconic heroes of the beloved Saga.
"This is the best Angry Birds game we've ever done. It's the best parts of Angry Birds with all new cutting-edge gameplay set in in a galaxy far, far away," said Peter Vesterbacka, the Mighty Eagle and CMO of Rovio. "As a big Star Wars fan myself, I'm really excited about this new universe. The Force is definitely strong with this one."
In addition to the game, this fall will also see the unveiling of a massive retail launch for Angry Birds Star Wars. Merchandise ranging from Halloween costumes and apparel to action figures and collectible plush toys will be available at select retailers, starting October 28.
"Both Star Wars and Angry Birds share the instant and irresistible appeal of hands-on fun," said Colum Slevin, Vice President, Head of Studio Operations for Lucasfilm Ltd. "People seem to instinctively know what to do when handed a lightsaber or a bird in a slingshot, so this is a natural combination."
In the coming weeks, fans can expect additional new videos, characters, and much more exciting content to be revealed.
The game will be available on iOS, Android, Amazon Kindle Fire, Mac, PC, Windows Phone and Windows 8.

Our attention span has decreased dramatically over the last decade or so due to our overuse of technology. According to a 2015 study done by Microsoft, the average human has an attention span of only eight seconds, which is less than a goldfish. Wow! This is because our brain is constantly looking for what's next.
In the book "Hack Your Brain," the author says the brain is a muscle that can be built, so let's start building. Here are some strategies that can help improve your focus.
Determine where you need to focus
It's important to understand where you need to focus and when. Many people think about home when they are at work and at work when they are home. Keep in mind, when we focus, things get done. Without focus, we aimlessly go from task to task without direction, many times accomplishing nothing. Taking the necessary time to determine when you need to focus on work-related tasks and personal tasks is critical. This can be difficult for people who work from home and often takes more planning in order to stay focused. Blocking certain times of your day to work on specific tasks can be very helpful.
When we're trying to focus, distractions are everywhere. In order to avoid or limit them, turn off email and social media notifications and put your smartphone on do not disturb. Doing so for as little as 30 minutes can significantly improve your focus and concentration. Studies show it takes people on average from seven to 15 minutes to "recover" or return to focus after every interruption or distraction. That's a staggering amount of wasted time! Limiting that time is vital for improved focus. So, while it may seem hard to unplug, as many of us are addicted to our devices, the benefits can be significant.
Take breaks
Our brain needs time to rest and recover from information overload. Taking several short breaks during the day gives the brain time to re-energize. When we don't, we are taxing our brain and decreasing our focus. A recent study found that those that took a short break during a 50-minute task significantly outperformed those who worked straight through. Breaks are not a luxury, but a necessity in our quest to get things done.

Whom would you want to see in India's Test squad for South Africa? See the players in contention below and swipe:
The India squad for the three Tests in South Africa, originally meant to be announced last week, will finally be picked on Monday evening. The three-member selection panel, led by MSK Prasad, will meet captain Virat Kohli after the third day's play of the final Test against Sri Lanka in Delhi.
The first question will be on the squad strength: on their last overseas trip, to Sri Lanka, India went in with 16 members. The selectors are likely to prefer one more on the tour party to South Africa. Once that is sorted…
Who will be the fifth specialist fast bowler?
Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are automatic choices. Although Hardik Pandya will play the role of the fourth seamer in the XI, the team management will not want to overwork him. Importantly, back-up will be needed in case of injury.
Shardul Thakur, Navdeep Saini and Jasprit Bumrah are the contenders.
Pundits feel Bumrah deserves to be in the Test squad based on his form in limited-overs cricket. Furthermore, in 26 first-class matches, he has 89 wickets at an average of 25.33 and a strike-rate of 56.3. He has the nerve, the speed and the ability to swing the ball in and deliver yorkers. If picked, Bumrah will be an extremely brave selection. He hasn't played any first-class cricket since last year's Ranji semi-final – he picked up 6 for 29 – and has spent his free time after the New Zealand T20Is at NCA instead of playing for Gujarat.
Less left-field will be Saini, the Delhi fast bowler who has made himself a name for being able to run in all day and maintain the intensity in the evening sessions too. He has been consistent in his performances over the last two domestic seasons – overall he has 81 wickets at 23.88 – which earned him entry into the India A team. On a tour of South Africa recently, Saini claimed seven wickets in two matches at 27.85.
If there is going to be a fifth fast bowler, Thakur could have been the frontrunner but he injured his shoulder while playing for Mumbai against Tripura and is not available for the quarter-final against Karnataka starting December 7. He has been part of various India A squads and had gone to the West Indies with the senior team in 2016. Although he is yet to make his Test debut, the stockily-built Thakur can generate decent pace and bounce off a robust run-up to the crease. Testament to his experience and ability are the 188 wickets he has taken in first-class cricket at 28.27.
Should Kuldeep Yadav be the third spinner?
If India pick a squad of 17, it opens the door for a third spinner, and if they want an aggressive option, then Kuldeep could come into play. He has just two Tests against his name, but that was enough for him to showcase his skills, his street-smartness and his dominance over the batsmen with his left-arm wristspin. A constant in the Test squad since his match-winning performance on debut earlier this year, Kuldeep might have done enough not just to earn a ticket to South Africa but even put some pressure on the tried and tested spin duo of R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja.
Who will be the 17th member?
The selectors will probably want to have a specialist wicketkeeper-batsman as back-up for Wriddhiman Saha. Parthiv Patel seems to be a ready-made choice considering he can easily move up and down the order.

Since February 2015 the safety for machinery manufacturers is becoming one of the most important aspect in the design of new piling and drilling rigs. The new European Standard EN16228-2014, in terms of safety for Drilling and Foundation equipment, is the new harmonized standard with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/CE that replaces the previous EN791 Drilling equipment – Safety and EN996 Piling Equipment – Safety.
The new code includes three main topics: a series of components and devices designed to maximize the safety of those who have to work on and around the rig, the rules for prototype & series tests and the specifications for use & maintenance information. The most notable rig improvements in the foundation field, that come together with the new Soilmec EC Kit are: the cabin footplate with frontal access ladder and the guard rails on the upper side of the machine to give a safe access for operator and maintenance operations.
A radio remote control has been specifically designed to load and download the rig from the truck without the need for the operator to remain inside the cab during these risky phases; new anchor points have been designed and located on the rigs undercarriage for machine transport. The camera and mirrors kit are properly located for 360° visibility all around the rig. Special led lights have been installed to operate in dark conditions. PLC safety control device, additional limit switches, new rubber guard protections and automatic alarm system during the rotation of the rig upper structure are installed to increase the safety of the workers all around the machine.
The maintenance operations are facilitated thanks to a cleaning mast guide system with scrapers and a quick coupling system for conveying contaminated liquids in appropriate gatherers.
New instructions have been implemented for the new prototype test, with regard to direct and indirect visibility, noise emission, warning device and mechanical performance (load test and torque measuring) tests, and many others.
Use and maintenance rig manuals have been upgraded to guarantee the best reliability and a top quality maintenance service.
While currently the EN16228 is a code compulsory only in Europe it is expected to became soon an ISO Standard.

Cronies of Ultimate Adventure 2018 #UA2018
Meet the Cronies
Whether they are sending their XJ flying through the air or setting up a rooftop tent at a picturesque "campsite" in Alabama Hills, so many people going off-road these days are "doing it for the 'gram." You know, simply posing for the moment in order to gain a few Instagram followers or obtain an "attaboy" from the masses. We think the world needs less social media and more cronies. While cronyism has a negative connotation, at its core a crony is just a good friend. And we have the best friends around. They use up all of their vacation time for the year and drive across the country on their own dime. And when someone needs help they don't show up with excuses—they just handle business. They are simply the glue that holds the Ultimate Adventure together. No hashtags required.
1997 Jeep TJ BuggyDriver: Trent McGee
Co-Driver: Michael Harrington
How Many UAs Have You Been On? All of them (18)
Favorite Part of the Trip: Seeing what I thought and hoped would be good stops and such through the eyes of people who didn't know what was coming next. Or to put it another way, not having a group of bored or angry 4x4ers burning me in effigy.

Keith Bailey always has a smile on his face, whether he's elbow-deep in a differential or getting hit by a water balloon from his co-driver. Last year he drove his CJ-7 on UA, but this year ol' Bailey Blue was back and dominated all of the trails we ran. Bailey was the only one who didn't have to pull cable on his Warn winch all week. That's saying a lot, given the crazy slick, steep, and snotty terrain we hit. Next to him is Tom Boyd, who along with Trent McGee is the only guy to have been on every UA and who has become synonymous with the spirit of this event.

Hi! My name is Dr. Erienne Weine. I am the creative force behind Fresh Philosopher.
I hold a Ph.D. in Psychology.
I am currently writing a philosophy book: How the Brain Creates the Mind.
I teach undergraduate psychology courses. In 2019, I was the top 3 rated instructor at my university on Rate My Professors.
And… In order to live the life of my dreams, I've found that I have to be my best self. So I decided to up-level myself in every way possible, from the inside-out. From this journey, Fresh Philosopher was born!
I am writing a philosophy book about how the brain creates the mind! It is my solution to the hard problem of consciousness. The book includes models of neural structures as they give rise to mental events such as consciousness, sensation, attention, concepts, learning, memory, thinking, judgment and decision making, behavior, language, depression, anxiety, trauma.
Interested? Request a copy of the Introduction (free) here.
Fresh Philosopher is where I share my passion for upgrading my mind, brain, and conscious experience. Here I talk about mindset, mental wellness, and living the life of your dreams. I share these through the Fresh Philosopher blog, YouTube videos, Pinterest graphics, Instagram and Facebook posts.
I have found a positive Mindset to be infinitely rewarding. Mentally framing life in a positive way allows me to manifest my dreams into reality with greater ease. Mindset topics include: confidence, intuition, resilience, creativity, and positivity.
Mental Wellness
Mental Wellness is something I work to cultivate every day. Rather than focusing on only fixing mental illness, I choose to develop a regular practice of helping myself be mentally well. These idea include recognizing and attending to symptoms of depression and anxiety, meditating, journaling, self-care, and mental health hacks.
High-Vibe Life
To me, living a High-Vibe Life means giving myself huge life upgrades – in small ways! These take the form of healthy habits, positive routines, and lifestyle changes. The idea is to live as much as possible in a calm, peaceful, high-energy state! In this area I talk about having a morning routine, eating plant-based, and caring for your body in every season.
I want to help you understand how your mind works because it allows you to truly live the life of your dreams. Why continue the same draining patterns? Live your life in a way that propels you to a better place!
I give invited talks about how the mind works. I show you how to use current Cognitive Science to understand yourself and live harmoniously with your own natural mental functioning. This is best for groups, associations, clubs, workplaces, and conferences.
A strong concept is the center of every thriving business, product, and service. By showing you the nature of concepts, I will help you effectively communicate your ideas, both to your own team and the world. To effectively get your idea off of the ground, I offer Concept Consulting for start-ups, new projects, budding entrepreneurs, and companies looking to keep up in the new millennium.
Are you pursuing the life of your dreams? Would you like to be? I am! Let me show you how to do it. I work with you one-on-one to help you clarify the life of your dreams, take steps to get there, identify roadblocks, and learn tools to manifest the deep, beautiful, fulfilling life of your dreams.
As an Instructor, I teach undergraduate psychology courses including Foundations of Psychology, Cognition, Developmental Psychology, Laboratory in Research Design, and Senior Capstone Seminars.
As a Cognitive Scientist, I've researched and published academic research articles on questions about how the mind works. This includes topics such as concepts, memory, causality, judgment & decision-making, expert thinking, and mental health.
Thank you for reading all about me and my passion projects! I am very excited to share my story and connect with you.
Now… it is your turn! I want to know about you. Hop over to my YouTube channel, Instagram, or Facebook page, and leave me a comment. Introduce yourself and say hi!
