"The Real World" started reality TV as we know it (Bunim-Murray Productions/The Kobal Collection)
Ever since Julie from Alabama met Eric the male model on the first "Real World" back in 1992, the network has been in the forefront of innovation of the genre, creating the candid reality show, the competition reality show, celebreality and a multitude of other subgenres that have transformed the television industry for good and for ill. Here's how they did it:
Seven Strangers Picked to Live in a House
While there was "An American Family" before "The Real World," that '70s PBS series was closer to a traditional documentary than what we know today as reality TV. "RW" really changed the game by casting strangers, as if they were casting a scripted show, and by putting them together in a contrived fishbowl to see what unfolded. It's doubtful that the late Mary-Ellis Bunim and Jonathan Murray imagined the debauchery that would still be happening 20 years later when they launched the program, but those of us who tuned in to that first New York season knew we were watching something special and different from anything else on the small screen — a pop-culture phenomenon in the making.
VH1 may have co-opted the term, but MTV was the first one to take a family of famous people and film their daily interactions. We may have only known Ozzy when "The Osbournes" started, but Sharon, Kelly and Jack all became household names as they screamed at each other and let their dogs have the run of the place. The network shortly thereafter introduced us to the private lives of Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson on "Newlyweds," changing how we considered a can of tuna forever.

Let's Make it a Competition
Before "Survivor" hit the U.S. or "The Amazing Race" took off globetrotting, there was "Road Rules." Basically it was "The Real World" on wheels, but with missions and prizes. That series is now kaput, giving way to the much more addictive "Challenge," but as far as competitive reality goes, it was one of the first in the U.S. to reach any sort of big audience.
"Real" Rich People Do Things
Long before the "Real Housewives" of everywhere invaded cable, we were introduced to an entitled bunch of teens (and to some extent their families) with "Laguna Beach." Seeing how these rich kids spent their time and money was ridiculous. By which I mean, I was glued to the TV... and then was compelled against my better sense of judgment to watch the entirety of "The Hills" as well.

Because Americans Never Tire of Idiots
There were hidden camera shows before "Punk'd," but never one where a quasi-celebrity perpetrated the misdeeds, but still, that show wasn't quite as groundbreaking as "Jackass." The Johnny Knoxville series caused near-riots with the awful and dangerous behavior that it perpetrated, but countless shows have followed in its footsteps. But really, can anything top the first time you see someone staple their own genitals to their legs? "America's Funniest Home Videos" just doesn't hold the same appeal after that.
We Hope You Like Orange People
Again proving that they were television pioneers, MTV unleashed all that is Jersey upon our airwaves. And while there are plenty of imitators, few Jersey-set series have the name recognition or the catchphrases that "Jersey Shore" does. For better or worse, we know about the "GTL" regimen and learned that if we want to party and pee behind a bar, than Seaside is the place to be.
Obviously, MTV aired some reality duds along the way: "The City," "Celebrity Rap Superstar," "Rich Girls" and "Tiara Girls," among them. And the less said about anything Tila Tequila-related, the better. But it's the network's birthday, so why dwell on the disastrous? (We'll save that for another day.)

Opeth has just released their new single for their much anticipated Heritage Album due out in September.
The New Single is called "The Devils Orchard", and after listening to it I have to say I love seeing them move to their musical influences of 70's progressive metal.
And for anyone that knows Opeth, there will be no growls in this CD, so rest assured all you cookie monster haters, there is a great new Prog Rock album heading our way!

Non-Locality on a Kitestring
I can feel this consciousness;
That it's nowhere, and yet it feels local:
It's not in the rocks or the soil, the trees
Or the sky; it goes where I go
And I know where I'm going-
But it goes, without knowing.
Time and distance mean nothing to it;
And I'm its parasite, all the while believing
That I'm the one in charge;
Keeper of the maps and the shoes,
The tires and the itinerary.
Without it, I'm nothing and nowhere,
Just as lost in space as it is.
But I can't help fantasizing
About being the kite for once
Instead of always being the kitestring.

I went to my first CB in 2006, when it was held at the Metro Convention Centre. I remember taking the escalators down to the bunkered exhibition halls. (Someone described it as travelling to hell surrounded by pretty flowers!) As a "mature" (lol) student in Humber College's Landscape Technician program, I helped build the school's annual contribution to the show, a display garden showing off the students' construction skills as our design teachers intepreted the theme of the year. (CB always has a theme every year. For 2012, it's "CityCulture.") Looking at all the pretty flowers (mostly all were forced of course as you'd very unlikely see blooming rhodos outside here in March) many stories underground was always a surreal experience. You certainly had to suspend your disbelief for a few hours.
So for the past five years I would take the subway or streetcar down, usually with my kids in tow. This year, I'm undecided so far. There will certainly be more people under the same roof (which likely mean more contacts for the landscape contractors, renovators, and hot tub sales staff to prospect) and I can only imagine the horde on the weekend. My personal experience has usually been....well, meh. I appreciate the earthy smell and visually impact of tulips, daffodils, and rhodos blooming their heads off when we're starved for these things after a hard winter. But...
Mini-rant on:
what's with the often stand-offish and aloof attitude I get when I walk through many of the exhibits. Do I look like a typical homeowner who may be looking for your landscaping services? You'll never know by not making eye contact while gabbing with your colleagues. A friendly "hello" goes a long way, and you don't even have to mean it!
Mini-rant off.
Many display gardens are either highly conceptualized designs (I recall painted (dead) tree limbs suspended with upside down umbrellas one year) or gardens you'd likely see at your favourite local McMansion (you know, the ones with cubic yards and yards of interlocking pavers, concrete retaining walls and mega boulders finished off with a few Emerald cedars.) I'll leave it up to you to decide what's more aesthetically pleasing.
Usually the highlight was seeing my old instructors like Harry Chang (profiled in the Humber College video above), chatting and commiserating about how busy he is and seeing this year's garden design. It's good to see that Harry hasn't changed over the years, while I'm ambivalent about how CB has.
Anyway, say hello to Harry for me if I don't make it!

Last week, Circuit Court Judge Diane S. Goodstein issued an order stopping the continuing Episcopalians from using the diocesan name and seal. Jeff Walton, Anglican Program director at the Institute on Religion & Democracy, told CP that the continuing Episcopalians are free to find new leadership.
"Those who have chosen to remain connected to the national denomination are entitled to organize a new diocese and elect their own leaders – this is not in dispute," said Walton. "What continuing Episcopalians cannot do is attempt to assume the identity of the departing Diocese of South Carolina. The Diocese is a legally incorporated entity with its own elected officers, registered names and seal."
Regarding whether or not the temporary order would become a longer term injunction come a hearing on Friday, Walton told CP that he felt the breakaway Diocese's case was strong. "In some churches, this would be resolved as a disappointing but ultimately civil divorce. Unfortunately, the national Episcopal Church has adopted a 'scorched earth' policy with litigation against any parish or diocese that chooses to depart the denomination," said Walton.

I will never understand why newspaper articles continue to use the term "the continuing Diocese of South Carolina" to label the TEc loyal remnant. They are no such thing. They are a NEW diocese. The Diocese of South Carolina continues to exist. The diocese did not die the moment we disaffiliated from TEC. Is this just a catchy headline for an otherwise uninteresting article about the new TEC diocese? Seems rather wordy as they could have headlined it: TEC loyalists choose a new bishop.

- Music Technology Tools: MUS 103
- College students, professional musicians and music educators everywhere are expected to utilize technology in nearly every aspect of their work, from the simple tasks of finding recordings online to creating and sharing videos of their music. Whereas a generation ago one could get by in a music theory class with a pencil and some manuscript paper, students now are rightly expected to turn in clean, computer-generated notation for assignments, analogous to the word-processed essays one expects in an English class. In our current major and minor course offerings, Music touches on a number of these tools without any real time devoted to them in depth. As these tools have become more integrated into all of our core courses from 100-level onward, it has become necessary to teach these materials as a separate Freshman course, ensuring that no student is left to fend for himself or herself with only the technical experiences he or she has accrued before entering college. The addition of a one-credit course devoted to technology as it is used in college music courses will better prepare our students for their work as music majors and beyond.
- Video Game Programming Level 2: To be determined
- App Camp: To be determined
Cancellation and Refund
Credit outreach courses are taught contingent upon sufficient enrollment. The decision is made one week prior to the beginning date of the course. We reserve the right to cancel a course due to insufficient enrollment; in this case a full refund will be given.

The effective date for any withdrawal or course drop will be the date that the phone call is received. Confirmation of your drop or withdrawal will be sent via email. Non-attendance of classes does not constitute an official withdrawal or course drop. Please refer to the refund schedule below to determine your fee obligation.
Once a student has submitted the College Credit @ Camp Special Student Application form or registered online, an obligation to pay fees is in effect until such time as that obligation may be reduced by an official withdrawal or reduction of the credit load.

Midnight Taboo, one of two 3-year-olds owned by Mike Repole that had been entered in the $500,000 Indiana Derby (gr. II) at Indiana Downs Oct. 5, will be withdrawn, trainer Todd Pletcher said.
It's not unusual for trainer Bob Baffert to spread his talented 3-year-olds across the country, but he'll be trying something new with morning line favorite Power Broker in the $500,000 Indiana Derby (gr. II) Oct. 5.
Willis D. Horton's Will Take Charge has long been referred to as a horse who makes one powerful run, and on Sept. 21 that run landed him in the Parx Racing winner's circle with a victory in the $1 million Pennsylvania Derby.
Purple Egg will come off a five-month layoff to start in the $300,000 Gallant Bob Stakes (gr. III) at Parx Racing Sept. 21.

Since March, 3-year-old turf standouts Rydilluc and Charming Kitten have been on parallel schedules, clashing four times. On Aug. 9 they will meet again in the Hall of Fame Stakes (gr. IIT) at Saratoga.
Heavy favorite Uncaptured stormed to the front in the stretch and held off River Seven to win the Prince of Wales Stakes, the second leg of the Canadian Triple Crown, for John Oxley and Mark Casse.
Verrazano led the 3-year-old ranks this spring, and after his thorough demolishing of a good field in the $1 million William Hill Haskell Invitational July 28 at Monmouth Park, it looks like he's back on top.
Looking for consecutive wins in the $500,000 Prince of Wales Stakes, trainer Mark Casse will have four shots at the July 30 renewal at Fort Erie racetrack in Ontario, Canada.
Preakness Stakes (gr. I) winner Oxbow drew post 5 and was installed as the 2-1 second choice while Verrazano is the 9-5 morning-line favorite for the $1 million Haskell Invitational (gr. I) to be run July 28 at Monmouth Park.

Battier is the lone stakes winner in a field of six 3-year-olds who will assemble July 6 for the $200,000 Dwyer Stakes (gr. II) at Belmont Park, and all seek their first graded score.
Jim Tafel's homebred Looking Cool certainly kept his cool in the heat of battle down the Prairie Meadows stretch June 29 to prevail by a neck at 17-1 odds in the $250,000 Iowa Derby (gr. III).
Our Double Play will try to extend his win streak to three races when the Grand Slam colt faces six other 3-year-olds in the $250,000 Iowa Derby (gr. III) June 29 at Prairie Meadows.
Code West and Uncaptured treated fans at Churchill Downs to a thrilling stretch drive in the $113,100 Matt Winn Stakes (gr. III) on the night of June 15, with the Bob Baffert-trained son of Lemon Drop Kid winning by a head.

Apple Thunderbolt Display (27-inch)
Apple Thunderbolt Display (27-inch)
Product Information
Thunderbolt technology built in.
Thunderbolt I/O technology lets you move data between your devices and your computer with unprecedented speed. With two channels of 10-Gbps throughput in both directions, it's up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0 and up to 12 times faster than FireWire 800. And it allows you to connect as many as six devices through a single, compact port.
The ultimate docking station.
With just one cable, connect any Thunderbolt-enabled Mac and get 27 inches of high-resolution screen space, high-quality audio, a FaceTime HD camera, FireWire 800 and Gigabit Ethernet ports — and a Thunderbolt port you can use to daisy-chain additional high-performance peripherals such as hard drives and video capture devices.
Plug in and power up.
The Thunderbolt Display includes a MagSafe connector that powers and charges your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air.1 The connector sits on your desk, ready and waiting. No need to unwind the cord to the power adaptor that came with your notebook. Leave it exactly where it is, in your bag.
Made for the new MacBook family. A bigger display for your biggest ideas.
Connect your Thunderbolt-enabled Mac to the Thunderbolt Display for a panoramic viewing experience unlike any other. This huge 27-inch glossy widescreen display features a cinematic 16:9 aspect ratio and an astonishing 2560-by-1440 resolution. That gives you more room to work with apps on your MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. And a worthy desktop companion to your iMac or Mac mini.
LED backlighting.
Full brightness with no waiting. That's the big advantage of LED backlight technology. Unlike most displays that take time to warm up before they reach maximum brightness, an LED-backlit display is instantly on and uniformly bright. LED backlighting also gives you greater control over screen brightness. So you can tune the Thunderbolt Display to suit the ambient light in even the dimmest room.
Built-in FaceTime HD camera and microphone.
With the built-in FaceTime HD camera and microphone, you can connect your Mac desktop or notebook — open or closed — and make HD video calls2 or take a few snapshots using Photo Booth.
Thunderbolt Display compatibility.
Thunderbolt-enabled Macs, including the current generations of MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and iMac are fully compatible with the Apple Thunderbolt Display. Customers with Macs that only support Mini DisplayPort output, such as the Mac Pro and MacBook, as well as previous generations of MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac mini and iMac can use the 27-inch LED Cinema Display.

About Sports & Recreation
Local RV & camper rental facilities are busy throughout the year serving the needs of their customers. These facilities rent a full line of RV's to all sorts of people. Many who are considering an RV desire to try out the lifestyle and the RV before making a purchase. Local RV & camper rental dealers will show them the various types of units available, discussing the key features of each one. The dealer will assess the needs of the customer and make a suggestion. This advice will be based on the use the customer has for the rental, the number of people who will by occupying the unit, the type of vehicle the person is going to use to tow the RV, and how long they plan to be traveling or camping. Once a unit has been chosen from the local RV & camper rental dealer, the agent there will take a few moments to go over details of using the RV. The customer will be shown how to hitch up the RV and how to safely tow it. They will be instructed on basic set up, once the destination is reached. This gives the customer an overview of what is required when using an RV, so it makes sense to rent one from the local RV & camper rental dealer. Other customers of local RV & camper rental facilities include large groups who need an extra unit or two when planning a group trip or who plan to camp together. The extra units are used to accommodate family and friends from out of town, for example. It is common for organizations to enjoy these types of events, and the local RV & camper rental dealer will have units available. If the campground is local, the dealer may even be able to move the units to the location, and pick them up afterward.

More on RV - Camper Rental
In other cases, rentals are made from local RV & camper rental locations when a major trip is planned, and the renter would prefer to use an RV, rather than pay hotel and motel rates. In such cases, motor homes are often the preferred rental choice. The variety of units available from local RV & camper rental facilities is tremendous. The most basic units are often called "pop up," meaning the unit is compressed and has a low profile while being towed, and is popped up at the campsite. Travel trailers are hard-shelled entirely, and are pulled via a ball hitch. They range in length from about 14 feet, to over 30 feet, and usually have complete kitchen and bathroom facilities. The larger units can sleep up to 8 people. Fifth-wheelers are like travel trailers, but they mount onto a hitch in the back of a pickup truck. Some find them easier to tow. Toy haulers are popular at local RV & camper rental locations, and motor homes are available, too. Visit your local RV & camper rental dealer today, and see what they have to offer.

Morning links, Day 6
All hail Maelle Ricker, and as emphatic a gold-medal performance as has been seen at these Games. Ms Ricker is a local success story - born in North Van, raised next door in Seymour and now living in Squamish. Four years ago in Turin she was airlifted off the course and missed the podium in a race best recalled for Lindsay Jacobellis' moment of tomfoolery. Yesterday Ricker was the most comfortable of winners and Jacobellis failed to reach the final.
Today the women's downhill is up at Whistler, and Lindsey Vonn, helped along by the most overhyped medicine since the swine flu shot, finally gets her chance to perform - on tape delay at home, maybe, where in the age of Twitter NBC is standing firm while taking a bollocking for its packaged, hours-later coverage.
Evgeni Plushenko stomped it in the men's short programme, then finished with a sword foil stab move that was aimed straight into the hearts of the rest of the field. It's close, but I'm betting he gets the gold in Thursday's skate-off, and prepare for a memorable flourish and perhaps some vintage kiss-off line from one of sport's prima divas.
On the subject of kiss-off lines, the Times Online's Matthew Syed takes a well-aimed shot at the contemporary Olympic movement itself, as the body of Nodar Kumaritashvili arrived home in Georgia at dawn this morning:
But it is the collateral damage to the Olympic movement itself that will be of most concern to its regal custodians at the International Olympic Committee. After all, even if the Own the Podium is not found to be responsible for Kumaritashvili's death, it nevertheless hints at just how far the notion of Olympianism has morphed from the original vision of Baron De Coubertin. The very fact that an organising committee was prepared systematically to undermine the medal prospects of overseas competitors — even to the point of taking risks with their safety — reveals the sham at the heart of the Olympic ideal and the hypocrisy of the Olympic Charter, with its talk of dignity, solidarity and the "harmonious development of man".
And finally, the sun came out in Vancouver yesterday and, Olympics or no Olympics, a reminder of what a beautiful part of the world this is. Here's another reminder:

In three-plus years of blogging, Eskay has received his fair share of cease-and-desist letters (mostly, he says, from draconian Atlantic Records). But he maintains that anything posted on Nah Right has been expressly approved by either label or artist. When asked, he says, he's deleted all potentially offending material and is allowed to continue operating with relative impunity. Nonetheless, he worries that the capricious and ever-desperate RIAA might soon crack down further.
"It's definitely something I think about often," says Eskay. "I don't want to wind up the DJ Drama of the blog world [referring to the Atlanta mixtape kingpin arrested in a January 2007 sting operation for allegedly bootlegging mixtapes]. I try to respect the artists and the labels."
And, really, only the most Luddite of labels would have a problem with Nah Right and its brethren. The dynamics of promotion have changed dramatically, with early online buzz now creating an incubator for later commercial success (see Gnarls Barkley, Arcade Fire and Lily Allen). Even Web Sheriff believes that it's in the best interests of the labels to dole out at least one or two promotional mp3s prior to an album's release.
John Giacobbi, Web Sheriff's managing director, says that his company recommends to its clients (XL Recordings, the Domino label and George Michael among them) that they give fans two tracks prior to release. "At the end of the day, all most blogs are guilty of is overexuberance," Giacobbi says by phone from the company's London headquarters. "Our strategy is to try to engage blogs and fans and articulate the certain ground rules for any prerelease. What they can get for free and what they can't. For the most part, they're willing to play by the fair rules of the game."
In late November, Web Sheriff made headlines when it sent a menacing letter to popular Brooklyn band Grizzly Bear, which posted an illegal leak of Animal Collective's "Brother Sport" on its band site. Grizzly Bear was forced to publish an apology to Animal Collective, and keep it posted for at least seven days. (There was no mention of whether Grizzly Bear was allowed to watch television during the interval.)
Giacobbi says he hasn't heard of a shift in RIAA blog policy, but admits that such a change wouldn't surprise him. Nor would it shock Wendy Seltzer, a fellow at Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society and one of the founders of Chilling Effects Clearinghouse, an organization designed to help Internet users understand their rights in the face of C&D threats.
"It sounds like some arm of the recording industry is getting more aggressive about enforcing copyright, and is pressing Blogger to respond more rapidly," speculates Seltzer. "I'm not sure what's motivating it. Many labels think blogs are good publicity, so I can easily believe that one hand sends out the mp3s and the other bears a C&D letter."
Seltzer noted the Sisyphean nature of stymying offending posts, likening it to a game of Whac-a-Mole, with two or three new sites popping up for each one shut down. One source at the RIAA who declined to speak on the record seems fatalistically resigned to the necessary evils of blog promotion, insisting that there's been no change in policy: The RIAA continues to send its master list of offending URLs to Google/Blogger, which then deals with the problem. According to the same source, the RIAA's chief focus has become leak control.
But none of this explains why Blogger is deleting year-old Elliott Smith songs that can be legally accessed elsewhere. All arrows, however, point to an unacknowledged switch in Google's corporate policy. Though its corporate brass declined an interview with L.A. Weekly, Andrew Pederson, a spokesperson for the Mountain View–based company, explained via e-mail, "When we are notified of content that may violate our terms of service, including clear notices of alleged copyright infringement, we act quickly to review it, and our response may include removing allegedly infringing material. If material is removed, we make a good-faith effort to contact affected bloggers using the e-mail address they set up when they signed up for Blogger. This is in compliance with the DMCA, which requires that users receive notification after material has been removed."
Indeed, nowhere in the fine print of the DMCA does it state that any agency is required to notify bloggers prior to the deletion of their posts. Meaning that in the five years since purchasing Blogger's parent company, Pyra Labs, Google has been extending warnings as a common courtesy. Now, it just sends an obituary notice. Which raises the question: Did Google finally get fed up dealing with unruly bloggers? Was there some sort of back-office conversation with the RIAA? Does it just really hate MGMT?

Experts: Iraq Veterans Wrongly Diagnosed
Austin American-Statesman
Anne Usher
Dec 24, 2006
Soldiers suffering from the stress of combat in Iraq are being misdiagnosed by military doctors as having a personality disorder, lawyers and psychologists say, which allows them to be quickly and honorably discharged but stigmatizes them with a label that is hard to dislodge and can hurt them financially.
Though accurate for some, experts say, the personality disorder label has been used as a catch-all diagnosis to discharge personnel who may no longer meet military standards, are engaging in problematic behavior or suffer from more serious mental disorders. For returning veterans, the diagnosis can make it harder to obtain adequate mental health treatment if they must first show they have another problem, such as post-traumatic stress disorder.
"It's an absolute disgrace to military medicine," said Bridgette Wilson, a former Army medic who is now an attorney in San Diego serving mainly military clients. "I see it over and over again, the dramatic misuse of personality disorder diagnosis. It's a fairly slick and efficient way to move some bodies through."

Hey Pete, just to let you know there's been some confussion about the ct bars, the ones currently been used on the forum. They're copyrighted to Adam, a founder of SDSYM/XFN and he's realised that are now being used by several forums, technically illegally since none of them have the right to do so. When Fusion sold you evomed, the ct bars weren't included in that, so in respect of copyright laws, could the bars possibly be removed. If you have any queries about it, pm me and i'll give you Adam's msn.

Via Image CPR:
Los Angeles Clippers power forward Blake Griffin and 2013 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover model Kate Upton reportedly got "very cozy" at a New York City hot spot.
E! News reports that Griffin, 24, and teammate DeAndre Jordan met a group of friends at Beauty & Essex around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday. An hour later, Upton walked in to join Griffin and his friends.
A source said that Griffin and Upton had a "great time" and "were cuddling and holding hands, although they were not seen making out. They seemed pretty cute together."
Griffin and Upton's night on the town occurred on the same day that Upton slighted her ex-boyfriend, Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander, in this tweet to Verlander's best friend, Frank Viola III.
Meantime, at Beauty & Essex, Griffin and Upton ate empanadas, lobster tacos and stuffed peppers. Griffin's friends reportedly downed shots of Don Julio Tequila.
Later Griffin, Upton and the group headed to Avenue nightclub, where "they closed the place down."
It sure sounds like Griffin and Upton had a great time.

My sweet boy
Being the dutifully involved parent and ever trying to make things better for her child, no matter how indirectly, I am the newly minted secretary of our school district's PTO. An easy job really, one that makes it look as if I'm doing a lot of work when all I'm really doing is writing minutes from the meeting. Truth be told, I enjoy volunteering when I can. So much has been given to us, so much help offered, so much caring displayed, that I can't help but want to give some of that back. Plus it doesn't hurt in the karma department.
Yet I suspect down the road, my memories of PTO will boil down to one in particular. At this morning's district meeting for all K-8 parents, I watched my son's class quietly come through the gymnasium on their way to music class. On their way back, I turned to wave at him as unobtrusively as I could, and he loudly whispered to his teacher, "Can I go give my Mommy a kiss?"
What possible better Mommy moment could there be?
Who's that girl?
An Angel has landed upon us. She is well disguised, with hair done, make-up on and wearing high-heeled shoes, but no wings. We know they are there, however - just hidden. She has made comments such as: "I want to make sure C is able to have the same snacks as everyone else;" "C, I know having the bigger box of crayons is important to you, and it's not as important to some kids, so I think you should bring the bigger box;" and, "I moved his desk so he could see better, but I also moved the nice girl next to him along with him so he could continue to sit by her."
I'm pretty sure she is descended from a cross between a fairy godmother and Mary Poppins. C can barely say her name without a salacious little grin forming on his lips. He wants to check out books about her favorite flowers at the library so he'll know more about them. We had to drive by her house last weekend so he could see her street. He was thrilled to know we can almost see her house from ours, and I picture him peeking out his window after lights out in an attempt to see if the lights are still on in her house.
Mom's not immune either; I have the feeling that this Angel is thinking about him after hours, wondering what she can do to further his enjoyment and learning. She patiently listened to all of his questions on the preview day, which wins major points in my book. Every once in awhile, someone really special comes into C's life, and for that I am eternally grateful. She seems to get him, enjoy him and challenge him, which is difficult to wrap up all into one person.
In case you haven't guessed, Miss Angel, whose real name is Mrs. B., is C's teacher in 2nd grade. But it may as well be Heaven to C.
It's all about muscles
Someone showed C muscles recently, and tied muscles to protein. I'm not sure if he watched the weight lifters on the Olympics or if he saw a picture of Popeye, but enter the latest obsession: protein counts in food. Despite my attempts to talk to him about a balanced diet, he really only wants to eat high protein foods. It has nothing to do with cravings, or what his body needs, but rather with muscles and numbers.
This is C's latest in a long stream of obsessions having to do with numbers. The idea of each food having a different protein content is very appealing to him. It makes sense of his world – he can compare and contrast and order. He's starting to notice the other numbers on the labels too. Tonight he asked me what "deriby filer" is. Slow Mommy, but it took me a few minutes of questions to figure out he was talking about "dietary fiber." Not wanting him to go overboard on that one, I again brought up the need for balance in his foods.
Perhaps I can use this latest obsession to help him both gain weight and eat foods he has feared in the past. The "failure to thrive" diagnosis that seems to follow him around like a lost puppy could maybe blossom into something resembling more than a big head atop a skinny body. If I could mock up a label for ice cream that reads "50 g protein" on it I might be in business. Or maybe I could turn macaroni and cheese into something desirable by giving it a very high protein content. Cakes, puddings and cookies? Yup, high protein. Eat all you want, kid. Rice crackers that he loves but have zero caloric value? Nope, C, low protein content, don't eat those.
I think I might be on to something.
As any parent with a special needs child will tell you, there are moments of extreme heartbreak. The moment when the specialist renders a diagnosis, or when you realize your child will struggle with something his whole life that other kids get in ten minutes, or when a school lets your child down. Yet often these moments come when you least expect them, and they are so swift and painful they take your breath away. Sometimes you don't fully process them until later and you find yourself crying in the middle of the grocery store, reaching for your sunglasses and hoping you don't see anyone you know.
When I watched C wander around the playground this morning before school, aimlessly looking for a familiar face, something started to well up inside me. The time was only a brief five or ten minutes, but it felt like a lifetime. It's not for lack of wanting to connect with someone; this child is about as social as they come. So I watched, while he walked around, anxiously looking for a friend to share his time. All the playground noise of the zillion kids running around faded from my ears as my chest swelled with a sob. There's something so awful about watching your own child, whom you love so dearly and so completely, struggle with something so basic, so fundamental to his very existence.
The moment became far bigger than it was, simply because it represents C's challenges in the most profound way. He no longer approaches anyone and everyone with abandon, so he's learned a lesson or two along the way. This is good and bad for the same reason: he's more aware. Aware of some of the rules, yet aware he still doesn't know exactly how the rules work. It's a core issue of C's version of autism.
The moment continued for me, while I later went about my day, sneaking up on me at inopportune times. Tears continued to drop here and there as I remembered his forlorn look as he milled about. Surely parents of "typical" children experience this at times, but I comforted myself by remembering that with the heartbreak comes moments (and there are more of these, truthfully) of extraordinary joy. Perhaps parents of special needs children experience the heartbreak and joy in more extreme ways, simply because there is nothing we can take for granted.
All's well that ends well
He's back, he's fine, C is delirious, and all is well with the world tonight.
He's okay, I think
I've been a single parent for the last couple of weeks, as Husband has enjoyed his 15 years-in-the-waiting trip down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. I used to love it B.C. (before C) when Husband would go out of town; I'd eat cereal in bed, stay up late reading, and watch chick flicks. Since C's birth, however, I have enjoyed Husband's trip less and less. The bed is too big, the house is too quiet, and things just don't feel right.
This particular trip, one I ultimately declined to join (see here), has been challenging. C is at a tiring age (when is a restful age?), which leaves us zapped on a good day. Having all these days by myself is an exercise in new zapped heights. The worst, however, is the complete lack of communication available. Other than one phone call from Phantom Ranch (the only place on the canyon floor with a landline) on day 6 (well over a week ago now) of the trip, there is no way to have contact. C hasn't said much, but the extra hugs and snuggles required throughout the days, especially at bedtime, have said it all.
You can therefore imagine my despair at hearing the news that there has been a massive flood in one of the side canyons. After some initial panic, and quickly finding something else for C to do, I devoured any internet information I could find. I have it in my head Husband is probably okay. I found an emergency contact number for the park service and talked to a ranger who said he's not on the list of people who have been evacuated. As lovely and pleasant and calming as she was, I couldn't help but wonder why the concern about people who are evacuated; it's the un-evacuated I'm worried about. Having his name on a list of evacuees would be just fine with me, thank you very much.
I've been fielding calls all evening from folks whose spouses are with Husband's trip and others who know Husband is on a trip. Probably, Husband is sound asleep, in a haze of post paddling exhaustion. Couple that with a bit of the good tequila they took and a beer or two, and he's likely off in la-la land and will later chuckle at the concern of those of us topside.
The rest of the story
I've had a few requests for a little more context about yesterday's post, so here's the rest of what I had originally written, but didn't include:
We've always tried to shelter C from news and violent images; not only because we want to protect his emotional health, but because he is so innocent and naive. Even though his peers have mostly all seen Batman, Spiderman and every other "man" movie, C has no interest. Developmentally, he hasn't hit the "boy who wants to see grown up movies he really shouldn't see" stage. Combine that with his fear of death, and real world issues become way too scary for him to contemplate. Consequently, we've not yet talked with him about war, the military, and the like. When he asked what a soldier is, we told him a soldier protects our country. The inevitable, "Protects our country from what?" question never followed, thankfully.
So yesterday, you can imagine my surprise when C said to me, "Mommy do you want to know what I'd do if I was President? I'd not let anybody shoot anybody else." To my knowledge, his only knowledge of "shooting" involved the spaceship shooting on Space Invaders. He might have borrowed this sentence from a classmate, or perhaps he knows more than I thought. I asked him some more context gathering questions, but all I could get was that they were talking in class about what they would do if they were elected President.
I asked him tonight if he knew what shooting someone meant, and he said no. I asked him if he knew how a person would feel if they were shot, and he said no. I asked him if he knew what a gun is, and he said no. "OH, I've got it, is it like a water gun?" he asked. I told him it was more serious than that, and then he quickly moved on to building a tower with blocks, happily unaware that we'd just had one of our many conversations in which I feel completely out of my league. Trying to figure out how to share age appropriate lessons with a child who is the equivalent of a 10 year old 3 year old is always a challenge.
"But would it tickle?" he asked a moment later.
Score: Innocence – 1, Worldliness – 0.

Live Your Soul Purpose Online Course
Spring 2014
"Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having
abundance in your life." -Wayne Dyer
Check out my recent video about my trip to John of God in 2013
& the Live Your Soul Purpose course!
This course is for you if:
- You've been feeling pulled to live, work and play more fully from your soul.
- You know you're here for something more, but just aren't 100% sure what it is.
- You have a vision for the life you want, but no matter how hard you "try" – it fails to come to fruition.
- You're tired of your current reality, and want to create something more.
In this 4-week course you'll:
- Receive tools to live each day from your soul, doing more of what you love.
- Create more joy, love and abundance in your life.
- Release unconscious belief systems and fears that are keeping your soul purpose out of reach.
- Receive inspiration to follow your heart on any topic, project or opportunity that moves you!
The format:
- 30-minute intention sharing call on May 22 at 6:30pmPST to kick-off the course and to align our healing matrix. (Recorded for those unable to make the call.)
- 4 weekly inspired coaching worksheets to guide you to connect to your soul purpose.
- 4 weekly videos that work together with the coaching worksheets for continued inspiration on your journey.
- 2 group BodyTalk healing sessions – May 29 and June 12 – both via phone at 6:30pmPST and recorded for those who cannot be on the call.
- Private group forum for support, ideas and exploration with other members of the Live Your Soul Purpose community.
- Up to 5 direct email exchanges with Heather for intuitive guidance and support.
You get all of this for only $146. RSVP today.*
(Individual Coaching & BodyTalk sessions alone exceed $600+.)
So, now, onto the questions. Cuz I know you have them.
Why BodyTalk? And BTW – what the heck is it anyway?
Simply put, BodyTalk is a personal and spiritual development system with a side effect of healthcare.
Your life gets better than you ever thought possible and those pesky headaches and body aches evaporate too. Regular BodyTalk has been called the "fountain of youth" (by one of my 60+ year old mentors) and has healed individuals all over the world from a variety of physical and emotional illnesses – from cancer to depression and anxiety to autoimmune disorders and chronic pain. And it's totally non-invasive and painless.
With BodyTalk we are able to effectively release unconscious belief systems, blocks and anything else that might be keeping you from doing what you love and living your soul purpose (or having anything else you might desire).
Why you, Heather Strang?
Throughout my life, I have repeatedly encountered situations, people and events that forced me to let go of my left-brain-centric way of life to live from a place of passion, intuition and soul. In addition, I've owned several of my own businesses (a franchised publication, freelance writing business, book editing biz, and now a healing practice) and helped countless others start and enhance theirs.
Eventually, I was led to BodyTalk – an amazing healing system that allows the body/mind/spirit to be brought into balance – thus allowing miracles to occur daily. I recognized that while many people have great ideas, not everyone is able to create a life of doing what they love. I realized through my journey that often we have to go deeper into who we are to address why our desire doesn't always match up with our inspiration and action. Today, I'm blessed to be doing what I love every day and I feel everyone deserves the same!
You can read my full story here to see how I've left the path most traveled to carve out my very own soul-centered life.
In truth though, it's not about me. It's about the power of BodyTalk working together with the collective consciousness of a group of like-minded individuals to heal on the deepest levels possible. This healing will allow all of us to be who we really are, in every aspect of our lives.
With this combination, we are unstoppable.
Now, doesn't that just sound delicious? Join me!
What people are saying:
"We need to invest in ourselves to stay alive and to grow. Body Talk is the first modality I've ever met that truly deals with healing and self-exploration from a comprehensive and systematic approach. I don't understand it all, but the sessions and the people resonated very deeply with me…I will definitely participate in Heather's intensives in the future. Loved it and highly recommend Heather's work!" -K.B, 44
"I got more out of this 4-week healing intensive than I have out of the past 2 years of counseling. I am so grateful for BodyTalk." –M.O., 42
"The BodyTalk Healing Circles have provided a gentle and powerful shift in my awareness of my healing. Sharing the experience with others similarly aligned has provided a profound depth and security. I highly recommend these to anyone interested in trying BodyTalk or extending their experience beyond individual sessions." –K.D., 35
"I am feeling more at peace than I have in a long time. I'm very thankful for BodyTalk." –M.T, 53
So how do I sign up?
Great question!
It's easy – just click here to reserve your space in this 4-week course.

The financial system was deregulated 11 years ago with Bill Clintons signature (not George Bush's), the reality is Democrats voted to do this to us. The reality is people like me and my greedy friends don't invest or risk capital in this state anymore, 37 years of Union Backed Democrat state politics have killed this once prosperous state. Reality no investors no growth and no jobs of any measure, unless you consider 400 jobs produced in VC since March as real growth. Vote Democrat for Hope and the Change still left in your pocket.
July 1993 Bill Clinton and Democrats passed and he signed the Community Reinvestment Act, forcing banks to lend money to under qualified "stated income" borrowers who bought and refinanced houses they could never afford. Those stated income borrowers brought on this mess not Wall Street and not greedy Republicans like myself, who no longer invest and no longer creat good jobs. Democrats seem to know what best for everybody so good luck, lets see you guys fix what you screwed up. My mean greedy friends and I will be on the sidelines cheering you on.

Smithsonian Magazine 6th Photo Contest: Winners Go on View in the Castle
In 2003, Smithsonian magazine launched its first photo contest, which garnered 12,000 entries from all over the world and the contest has since been a forum for people to share their artistic vision with us. Last week, an exhibition of the 50 finalists' eye-popping entries opened at the Smithsonian Castle Building.
"We enjoy a rich dialogue with our readers within the magazine's pages and on our Web site," says Smithsonian magazine editor-in-chief Carey Winfrey, "and this contest is a perfect example of how we both inspire and in turn take inspiration from our enthusiastic Smithsonian community."
This year, our 6th annual photo contest garnered an amazing 17,000 entries. Fifty finalists in five categories—Americana, Altered Images, The Natural World, People and Travel—were selected and we are pleased to announce each of the category winners as well as the Grand Prize winner and the Readers' Choice winner, who was selected via online voting earlier this year. The Readers' Choice and other category winners each received $500. One grand prize winner received a four-day, three-night Smithsonian Journeys Grand Canyon Weekend Adventure for two, or the wholesale cash equivalent.
The exhibition, World View: Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest, on view in the Smithsonian Castle through January 17, 2010, features all seven winning photographs, as well as 23 selected finalist photographs.
And don't forget: we are accepting submissions for our 7th photo contest through December 1, 2009.

Kitchen designer Sara Busby.
Northern Michigan kitchen designer Sara Busby is the 2007 president-elect of the National Kitchen and Bath Association based in New Jersey. The position means that she will become president of the association in 2008. Busby will juggle her new responsibilities while managing her company, Sara Busby Design - where she combines her background in architectural design with her passion for kitchens.
Tell me about your design philosophy.
A kitchen should reflect the lifestyle of the clients. Somebody better not walk in and say, "Sara Busby designed this." They'd better say, "This looks like you."
Where do you get the inspiration for your designs?
We have such beautiful locations up here, so the natural environment inspires me. It might be pulling the color out of the maple leaves in the yard or from the color of the water.
How do you customize designs to fit your client's lifestyle?
We talk about how they live in the kitchen. If they want a social space, we'll probably put in wider aisles where people can stand and talk. If they're serious cooks, we'll put in a lot of workstations and maybe a low counter so kids can help out with the cooking.
Does remodeling a kitchen improve the value of a home?
National statistics say you can get a rate of return anywhere from 95 to 120 percent on kitchen remodels. There are studies that show a remodeled kitchen not only gets a better return, but it helps a house sell faster.

A 'Farm party' going down on Sunday at the Foothills Fall Festival
By Steve Wildsmith | (firstname.lastname@example.com)
She may look like a magazine-worthy model, but when it comes to country music, Krista Marie is just one of the boys.
Of course, Marie — who performs with Damien Horne and Nick Hoffman as the up-and-coming country trio The Farm this weekend at the Foothills Fall Festival — has been holding her own in a man's world for a while now. Not only has she charted a few minor country hits as a solo artists ("Jeep Jeep," "Tomboy"), she's competed hard enough in ATV Motocross racing to seriously injure herself back in 2008, when she fractured four vertebrae and lacerated her liver.
Needless to say, when she's rolling down the road in a tour bus with her band members and assorted crew, she can hold her own.
"We have a really good time together," Marie told The Daily Times during a recent phone interview. "We're very lucky that way. It's almost like a marriage between the three of us. And on the road, there are nine of us total, all riding together and living together in the same quarters 24/7. But I love the guys, and I think they like me, so it's really good!"
Less than two years ago, all three members of The Farm were enjoying success on their own. Horne was part of John Rich's MuzikMafia songwriting group and was collaborating with guys like Keith Urban and other country music royalty. Marie was a solo artist signed to Broken Bow Records, and Hoffman toured for more than a decade as Kenny Chesney's fiddle player.
"The three of us were doing what we loved to do, and by a twist of fate we met and got together to write, and it worked," Marie said. "The first song we ever wrote together ended up being our first single. At the time, we had no idea it would be our first single, let alone that we would be in a group. But little by little, we continued to write, and it all worked out.
"Finally, we all decided that this thing is kind of cool, unique and special, and when you capture something special like that, you've got to run with it. So we put everything else aside and decided to focus everything on The Farm."
'Be grateful'
The group's first single, "Home Sweet Home," cracked the Top 20 of the Billboard country singles chart last year, and in July, the band's self-titled debut album was released. It's packed full of sunny sing-alongs, feel-good rural rockers and a tender moment or two, including the group's most recent single, "Be Grateful." It's a simple tune with a big message reminding everyone — from the listener to the members of The Farm themselves — to count their blessings.
"The three of us being out on the road, sometimes we get a little worn out," Marie said. "We're living the dream — ecstatic and happy and lucky to get the opportunity to do what we love to do so much — but every so often, we look at the glass half empty instead of half full. But every night on the stage, it's a reminder to do just that: be grateful.
"This world is a crazy place, and there are a lot of crazy things going on, but there's always somebody who has it worse than you do. Nothing's the end of the world, and you just have to look at it that way and be positive. It's a great thing to live by, and when I'm on stage and re-listen to the lyrics, I remind myself that I'm so lucky to be on the stage doing what I love. Even if I'm tired and beat-up and not feeling good, I'm living the dream."
Mashing it up
At this weekend's Foothills Fall Festival, they'll share that dream with fans both old and new. Hoffman's love of traditional country, Marie's fondness for jazz and the Great American Songbook and Horne's affinity for smooth country-soul all come together to succeed as part of a crazy-fun formula. On paper, Marie said, it wouldn't seem like their backgrounds and voices would go together; live, they blow those preconceptions out of the water.
"When we perform live, there's an energy and excitement that turns it into a big ol' Farm party," Marie said. "We bring a little jazz, a little soul, a little traditional country, and we mash it all up. Damien backflips around the stage and Nick's the Slash of fiddle playing. When you get us on stage together, you get this really fun, cool party, and we all get to do a little bit of everything we love into this band."

Freaky Friday: Shoes
Friday, October 12, 2012
Can I just tell you how much I hate these pony shoes? WHY would someone want to look like they have hooves? And, if you're wondering what it's like to walk in them, check this out. Quick tip: If you need to practice walking with a motherfletching WALKER, your shoes are impractical.
These shoes totally remind me of something Lady Gaga would wear to be ironic with a bodysuit. They also remind me of this, which I pinned a couple of days ago (Let's be Pinterest friends!)
These were designed by Lacoste by an architect who clearly has no concern for leg hair. Just make sure to shave before these rip out your leg skin as you slide them on! In fact, just leave them on forever. It's not worth the wear and tear.
Oh, I see! It's like "Hey Jae are you wearing garbage bags on your feet?" and then I'm like "LOL NO! There are ugly shoes underneath" and then we all have a good laugh.
Because nothing says "Honeymoon" quite like skimpy bridal lingerie and Frankenstein shoes. He'll hear you daintily clomping from a mile away. I'm imagining the shaky water glass scene from Jurassic Park.
Finally! This designer has realized what's missing on my favorite pumps: Sleeves!
These legitimately look like something I would make. Not because I like them, but because they look like someone used scrap fabric and a glue gun to cover up an ugly shoe and then failed miserably. Let's just say that crafting isn't my forte.
Hey, I'm from the West. I can respect a cowboy boot. What I can't respect is a boot wrapped in belts. I'm reasonably sure they should go around your waist, but hey, I've been wrong before.
Besides the fact that these look so uncomfortable they would cause me to gnaw my own feet off, they also look like something from a horror film. Like, the creepy woman character's legs are on backwards and she is coming for youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...
My feelings for this shoe could only be properly represented by the sounds of muffled sobs as I stuff my balled fist into my mouth.
A reader sent me a whole website of sports-related shoes. Like, for every team ever. The only woman who would wear these are the ones who pretend to like sports to get attention from men. I don't even care if you're a girl who likes sports. Just wear a hoodie and sneaks to the sports bar and eat too many wings like a normal person.
It always amazes me how ugly people can make shoes, especially when they're my favorite accessory ever. I just want to be like 'STOPIT!"
Speaking of shoes, I'm doing some shopping today. I know you're like Jae, didn't you go shopping last week. And the answer is that I did, but I had THE WORST case of "I have money to spend yet hate everything ever-itis." Instead, I spent money on Christmas plane tickets and with my bank account seriously depleted, I'm sure I'll find lots of stuff to buy this week. It's science. Anyway, join the page over on Facebook because I might need some help deciding where to go bankrupt.
Happy Friday guys!

Die Wirklichkeit und das Wissen
Mittelalterforschung – Historische Kulturwissenschaft – Geschichte und Theorie der historischen Erkenntnis
1. Edition 2011
1060 pages
Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht
plus S&H
This volume brings together in part previously unpublished articles from the major research areas of Otto Gerhard Oexle, the longstanding Director of the Max Planck Institute of History in Göttingen. His fundamental epistemological contributions concerning his understanding of history as historical cultural science deeply influenced the international research landscape and are thus put at the beginning of this volume. The other articles go from his thoughts and writings on memoria and cultural memory, to his understanding of the term "Stand" (class) in Medieval Europe as well as his research on the binding values and structures of social groups in society.
