There are 2 main locations to photograph the Horsetail Falls Fire Falls: one by the El Capitan picnic grounds (on Northside Drive) and the other along the river bank further south (on Southside Drive). Having photographed this event from the Southside Drive location in 2011 I decided to photograph from Northside Drive this year. Willie, Alan, and I drove down to Yosemite National Park on Friday afternoon and spent the entire weekend in Yosemite. My cousin and his friend also joined us.
As most people have pointed out the water level this year has been awful. A few giant storms in December gave way to an extremely dry January and February. When we arrived on Friday afternoon we could barely even find the waterfall, which is supplied by snowmelt from the top of El Capitan. Although several inches of snow fell a few days earlier the water level was looking pretty abysmal. On top of that, clouds kept rolling in. Luckily the clouds disappeared an hour or so before sunset and the only issue we had to tackle was water level. Not enough snow melted and we ended up disappointed with a mostly wet wall and not much waterfall.
Willie, Alan, and I spent the rest of the weekend freezing our tuchases off as we drove around the park trying to find other things to photograph. We also ran into a number of other photographers that we have exchanged emails, comments, and conversations with: Jean Day, Matt Granz, Michael Bonocore, Joe Azure, and Chung Hu to name a few. We also spent almost the entire day with Jeff Lewis, which was great after failing to meet up with him on past trips and exchanging perhaps a bazillion emails with him. On Saturday we also had dinner with Kristal Leonard.
We decided to cut our trip short and leave the park early on Sunday morning. Just as we drove out of the park at 9:30am we noticed that Horsetail Falls was *gushing* with water. We could see it with our naked eye! Scratch the plan to leave -- we turned around and went to the lodge to get some grub. Unfortunately when we returned at the waterfall a couple hours later the waterfall was completely gone again! Oh well, next year!

The game started beneath a black sky, both teams soaked minutes into their warm-ups.
Lake Region made it clear that a little moisture wouldn't affect their game.
"We practice in the rain," said head coach Eric Degre after the game. "We don't stop unless it's absolutely pouring."

Saybrook University
Saybrook University introduces PhD program focusing on Creativity Studies01/19/2012
A complex fast changing world demands new, creative approaches to everything from corporate strategies to food preparation: Saybrook University is pleased to announce the creation of a unique psychology PhD program specializing Creativity Studies.
Saybrook has a long connection with the study of creativity: one of its founders was legendary psychologist Rollo May, who wrote The Courage to Create, and significant work on creativity was also performed by Saybrook faculty such as Abraham Maslow.
Today Saybrook is home to many of the leading contemporary scholars studying creativity, including Ruth Richards, Editor of Everyday Creativity, and Steven Pritzker, Co-editor of the Encyclopedia of Creativity. Together, they are creating a community that helps students become scholars in their own right.
The program will appeal to students interested in studying every aspect of creativity, including the traditional arts as well as a variety of other fields such as organizational creativity, mental health, education and social transformation. The curriculum will also include research into aspects of everyday creativity including, family life, daily decision making, and relationships. This study of creativity will be both academic and hands on: as they become scholars of creativity theory, students will also apply what they learn to enhancing their own creative process and providing learning skills to help others.
Saybook's Donna Nassor appointed as a New York representative of the International Peace Research Association (IPRA)01/17/2012
Psychology/Social Transformation PhD student Donna Nassor has been appointed as a New York representative of the International Peace Research Association (IPRA), a non-governmental organization in consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECOSOC) since the 1980s.
Rollo May's last book, "The Psychology of Existence," to be re-issued01/16/2012
McGraw-Hill has announced that it is re-issuing The Psychology of Existence, the last book that pioneering existential psychologist Rollo May wrote in 2004.
May was one of the founders of Saybrook University, and wrote The Psychology of Existence with Kirk Schneider, a Saybrook graduate who is now also a member of Saybrook's faculty.
The New Existentialists has an interview with Schneider about the continued relevance of The Psychology of Existence, along with a discussion about what it was like to work with May in the last days of his life, getting him a copy of the gally proofs to review just two days before his death.
Saybrook University to Sponsor Chip Conley "Emotional Equations" Book Signing Events01/09/2012
San Francisco, CA, January 5, 2012 – Saybrook University announced today that it is sponsoring signing events for Chip Conley's new book, "Emotional Equations" (January 10, Free Press). In the book, Conley, dynamic entrepreneur and author of the bestselling "Peak", has developed a new lexicon for an emotionally intelligent age by introducing brilliantly simple formulas to help us explore and articulate something that challenges and connects us all: our emotions. Illustrating how to gain greater perspective and create the perfect equation for any situation, equations like "Joy = Love - Fear" and "Despair = Suffering - Meaning" have been reviewed for mathematical and psychological accuracy by leading experts. Conley shows us how to solve these equations (and how to formulate our own) through life examples and stories of inspiring people and role models who worked them through in their own lives.
The three Saybrook University sponsored events will be held in:
· San Francisco January 11
· Los Angeles January 25
· New York February 23
In addition to the above events, Chip Conley will be the keynote speaker at Saybrook University's residential conference on January 14, 2012. This conference brings together faculty and students from Saybrook's Graduate Colleges of Psychology and Humanistic Studies and Mind-Body Medicine for intensive classes and workshops in multiple disciplines. Chip Conley will also be the keynote speaker at Saybrook University's LIOS Graduate College (Leadership Institute of Seattle) graduation on June 18, 2012 in Seattle, Washington.
Saybrook University Appoints Chip Conley as its first Scholar-Practitioner in Residence01/06/2012
Mark Schulman, Ph.D., president of Saybrook University today announced the appointment of Chip Conley, award- winning San Francisco entrepreneur and noted author, as the institution's inaugural scholar-practitioner in residence. The Saybrook University scholar-practitioner in residence program emphasizes the importance of life-long learning, creative curiosity in support of new knowledge, and the application of this knowledge in service to the larger community.
The program is grounded in Saybrook University's core humanistic values honoring the infinite potential of human beings to grow and change in meaningful ways, regardless of the challenges they face. Saybrook University's scholar-practitioner in residence program joins a growing number of such programs across the country to bring the lived experience of professional practice and expertise into the realm of higher education – combining "the library and the street"- to prepare graduates to adapt, invent, and reinvent themselves, their organizations, and their communities in response to change and the challenges of the 21st century.
Chip Conley is the founder of Joie de Vivre, California's preeminent boutique hotel company now growing across the country. Influenced by Abraham Maslow's theories of humanistic psychology, exemplified by the oft-cited pyramid representing the hierarchy of human needs, Conley revamped his business model to focus on the intangible, higher needs of his company's three main constituencies – employees, customers and investors. He credits this shift for helping Joie de Vivre triple its annual revenues between 2001 and 2008. He was honored with the Most Innovative CEO in the Bay Area award by "The San Francisco Business Times" based upon this performance.
In announcing the appointment, Mark Schulman stated:

Saybrook faculty member George Kent publishes two new books on food production12/01/2011
Saybrook Professor George Kent - who teaches STR 6585 "The Human Right to Adequate Food" - has published Ending Hunger Worldwide, a book that challenges the naïve notion that everyone wants hunger to end. Rather, hunger ensures that some people will work for very low pay, so employers make good profits and consumers enjoy cheap goods. Hunger analysts typically focus on agriculture yields and interventions with capsules and supplements. They rarely acknowledge that hunger is a deeply social issue that is shaped by the ways in which people treat each other. The central concept that drives the book is that in strong communities, people don't go hungry. Strong communities have high levels of concern about one another's well-being. People may provide food to one another when that is necessary, but more fundamentally, they ensure that all have decent opportunities to provide for themselves.There is no shortage of food in the world; there is a shortage of opportunities.
Kent's other recent publication, Regulating Infant Formula, assesses the widespread assumption that the government or some international agency is monitoring the quality of infant formula. Government agencies sometimes raise alarms when a batch of formula is seriously contaminated, but they are not monitoring the product to ensure the health of children. More than half the infant formula used in the U.S. is provided by the government, at no cost to the families. The government monitors the economic impact on the manufacturers, but not the impact on the health of children. It has been estimated that more than 900 children in the U.S. die each year because they have been fed with infant formula.
Professor Kent was invited last year by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations to speak on Ending on Hunger Worldwide for its Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition. The report from this event is available as a pdf for download.
Saybrook becomes first university to sign petition against planned changes for the DSM-511/18/2011
Saybrook faculty and administration have voted to endorse the Society for Humanistic Psychology's Open Letter to the DSM-5 committee.
Saybrook is the first university to sign the petition in support of this letter.
The view from Occupy Oakland11/04/2011
(The following description of Occupy Oakland, just prior to the police action of Oct. 25, is provided by Psychology PhD student Makenna Berry, a regular contributor to Saybrook's psychology blog The New Existentialists)
More like our story. It has become the story of 100's swelling to include 1000's who have come together in downtown Oakland. I speaking about the families, elders, youth, workers, teachers, nurses…everyone that I could imagine that lives in Oakland and from our surrounding cities who have come to speak, witness and participate in what has been called the most significant social movement seen in years.
No. This is not just a band of disenchanted students camping out in a public park. It's so much more and I believe that we must either participate or at minimum take note.
The challenge is describing what Occupy is, because frankly, Occupy on a national scale is the people who are there. One can't really know the people unless you are there with us.
But I can try.
It has been a week since Occupy Oakland hit the international news. The morning the first tent city was dismantled the Occupy Oakland movement was seen by many as not being much. It was viewed cautiously as a movement with no leader, no agenda and by some on the outside, with no point.
I had been watching and listening to the community beat. I felt that there was much more here than folks were realizing. The next day at 4pm I joined 100's of others at the steps of the Oakland Public Library. The People's Mic was on.

Farmers should harvest the wind like any other crop says chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
Posted: December 21, 2013|
Following on from the Great British Wind Meal held in Plymouth in November, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall talks to WMN Editor Bill Martin
about the historic link between wind and food – and why
wind has such potential for farming's future.
Bill Martin: Hugh, you've just taken part in an event which is about farming's relationship to wind power, is this a subject close to your heart?
Hugh: Nowhere is a better reminder of the historic relationship between wind power and food production than Royal William Yard, where we are lucky enough to have the River Cottage Canteen & Deli.
The city was once was one of the most important ports and naval stations in this country, defined by its sailing boats and reliant on the power of wind to transport British produce around the world.
Royal William Yard housed the granaries, breweries, bakeries and slaughterhouses that supplied the Royal Navy.
So it goes right to the heart of the longstanding relationship between wind power and farming.
Bill Martin: What role could wind have in agriculture in the future?
Hugh: Wind has always played an important role in farming, not only for transport by ship but in the past when we used windmills to grind our grain. And I think that renewable energy, and wind power in particular, will continue to be important in the future of British agriculture.
Farming is simply the harnessing of the natural resources around us to provide energy for people, for livestock and for communities.
Conventionally that energy takes the form of food calories, but there is an alternative way of farming energy – at a community level, at a farm level and of course on a larger scale as well. Modern wind turbines make all that possible.
Bill Martin: So is it time to think of wind as a 'crop'?
Hugh: The weather is something that every farmer worries about every day.
You know when the sun shines, your crops will flourish, your produce will ripen, your grass will grow and your livestock will have food to eat.
When it rains you know that is going to liberate the nutrients in the soil that help bring your crops along and nurture your livestock. Freezing is also a vital part of the natural cycle; it kills off the bugs and the parasites, it prepares the ground.
And wind has the potential to be yet another, equally vital, resource for farmers.
So when the wind is blowing, farmers all over the country could be harvesting it to generate clean energy, for our consumption, and we should feel extremely good about that.
It's getting increasingly difficult for Britain's small-scale farmers to make a living – and if they can secure a more stable income from a well-sited wind turbine or two, and in so doing preserve their livelihood, that is going to be for the benefit of everyone.
Bill Martin: What do you say to those for whom wind is a very contentious subject?
Hugh: It's clear that the debate about where to put wind turbines isn't going to go away – and it's a completely valid debate. They should be sited appropriately and take into account the impact on neighbours, as the planning process does already. But let's make sure that the debate focuses on where are we going to put these fantastic harvesters of natural, renewable energy, not why.
UK Farmland has thousands of potential sites where the impact on neighbouring residents would be minimal.
Many communities are only too delighted to have wind turbines nearby, reminding them what an important service in supplying renewable energy these fantastic things are doing.
Bill Martin: So why do you think the media focuses on the negatives of wind so much?
Hugh: The visual impact of wind turbines is always going to come up. I find them attractive to look at – I have one at home, and I see it every day – but I recognise that not everyone does. Unfortunately those who don't like them, although they are a minority, tend to be a very vocal minority, and that's what gets the headlines.
I'd like to see the media telling some good news stories about wind, and how it can be viewed as a vital crop that is helping our farmers build a more sustainable future.
Bill Martin: Do you think wind turbines get too hard a time?
Hugh: If you go back in time, the landscape was dotted with wind turbines – not very different to the ones we see now. But I don't think you'd find anybody who would say that old-fashioned windmills were an eyesore.
It is also interesting that people do not object to pylons, but they do object to wind turbines. While turbines are relatively new, pylons have become part of the status quo.
I personally don't know many people who wouldn't gladly swap a row of pylons for a row of wind turbines. Why not bury electricity cables and put up wind turbines in place of the pylons?
Bill Martin: So what is it about wind that gets people so cross?
Hugh: I think there is anxiety about change and about new technology. And the politics of envy also plays a role, when it comes to farmers getting subsidies – but all forms of energy have benefited from subsidies in the past.
We need to persuade people that wind energy can help preserve our unique agricultural landscape rather than destroying it – and remind them that it is temporary, renewable and sustainable, unlike fossil-fuel or nuclear power stations.
We need to move towards the perception of wind energy and turbines as something fundamentally normal, part of the spectrum of our energy needs and also part of the spectrum of our agricultural economy.
Bill Martin: Can you understand why farmers are frustrated about attitudes to wind power?
Hugh: British farmers have had a really tough time of it lately, thanks to more extreme weather events, rising energy prices and other costs. And wind energy can play a really important economic role in mitigating those things and help keep British farmers afloat. Wind is a crop to be harvested, and it's good to see organisations like RenewableUK and Cornwall Council supporting farmers and their growing wind crops and using it for the benefit of our communities.

This is the 2015 Ford S-Max – or, at least, the version of it that will go on display at the Frankfurt motor show this October.
While some aspects of the car pictured here are unique to this show model, others will make it into production, including the car's wider stance and its lower roofline, which Ford says is a direct result of customer feedback. The S-Max has always appealed to motorists who want MPV practicality without MPV looks, and the new car looks set to appeal to even more of them than before.

A few years ago I wrote a piece entitled Why Too Big To Fail = Too Big To Exist with respect to the Wall Street banking oligopoly and its "friends" in other bankster-dominated Western regimes. This week U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder demonstrated the truth of that proposition by asserting that these criminal-banks were now "too big to prosecute."
Translation: he, and the rest of the Justice Department, are refusing to perform their sworn duties and uphold the Rule of Law in the United States because it's inconvenient. Outrageous.
Apart from the pathetically servile attitude, which the 'Justice' Department is taking with respect to crimes committed by the Wall Street oligopoly, its argument is totally without merit. Obviously sending criminals to prison would not cause people to lose confidence in the U.S. financial system. What has already caused much/most of the world to "lose confidence" in the U.S. financial system (as evidenced by all of the banksters' "markets" which have withered-and-died since 2008) is refusing to send the criminals to prison.
It is highly instructive (on several levels) to note that a U.S. Senator described the position/attitude of Holder and the rest of the 'Justice' Department posers as equivalent to giving the banksters a "get-out-of-jail-free card". What is the origin of this metaphor? The game of Monopoly.
A "get-out-of-jail-free card", or (alternately) the Justice Department openly refusing to prosecute banksters means simply one thing: being above the law. And the only possible context where white-collar criminals could/can be above the law is if they are part of a monopoly (or oligopoly).
In my original piece from 2009; I explained why the instant that the Wall Street oligopoly (and its European brethren) portrayed themselves as "too big to fail" that this meant beyond any possible shadow of a doubt that they were now "too large too exist".
TBTF is nothing less than an official mantra of blackmail, based on a perpetual/implicit threat: "keep us alive…or else". There are no possible circumstances under which a society could/should allow itself to be perpetually blackmailed by what is literally a corporate crime syndicate. In claiming that they were "too big to fail"; the Big Banks immediately confessed they were now too large too exist.
Put another way, there is no possible (supposed) "harm" which could result from smashing this banking oligopoly into little pieces which could ever equal the harm of living in an economic system which was subjected to the perpetual coercion, blackmail, and endless acts of financial malfeasance of this white-collar crime syndicate.
Indeed, this same financial cabal tried to economically obliterate Iceland (as punishment) when it threw the Financial Oligarchs out of its own nation. Instead, by purging itself of this crime syndicate it became the first-and-only (formerly) banker-dominated economy to actually recover/escape from the financial carnage – created by this same syndicate – in the Crash of '08.
Similarly, when the sycophant/apologist Eric Holder insists that the banksters themselves are now "too big to jail", he has instantly-and-conclusively proven that these criminals must be brought to justice…immediately. Just as there is no possible scenario in which the TBTF crime syndicate could be allowed to engage in perpetual blackmail; there is no possible scenario where these individual banksters could be allowed to be above the law.

text: Since we've started eating healthier, our grocery bill has gone down. Since we're not buying overpriced boxed foods and rarely eating out, we're saving a ton by cooking at home and taking left-overs for lunch the next day. It's important to look at the big picture you've spelled out here.

The new study describes a pathway-different than the one previously suggested-for the biosynthesis of neurotransmitter lipids, N-acyl ethanolamines (NAEs), which include the endogenous cannabinoid ("endocannabinoid") anandamide. The high activity of the enzyme a/b hydrolase4 (Abh4) in areas such as the central nervous system suggests that the pathway makes a "potentially major contribution" to endocannabinoid signaling.
Endocannabinoids are naturally produced substances similar to the active ingredient D9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in marijuana. Cannabinoid receptors were first discovered in 1988; the first endocannabinoid, anandamide, which shares some of the pharmacologic properties of THC, was identified in 1992.
Other research has shown that the endogenous cannabinoid system helps control food intake, among other critical processes, by acting on cannabinoid receptors in the central nervous system. The system drives consumption of fat and calorie-rich foods and the amount of fat stored or expended and plays a significant role in energy homeostasis.
"At least one cannabinoid receptor antagonist is on the verge of approval for the treatment of obesity-metabolic disorders," said Cravatt. "Enzymes involved in endocannabinoid biosynthesis, such as the one highlighted in our study, can be viewed as complementary drug targets. One potential advantage of this approach is that it may prove more selective than a receptor antagonist. By inhibiting enzymes such as Abh4, we may be able to disrupt the activity of a single class of endocannabinoids, rather than all of them."
In the new study, the researchers provide biochemical evidence of an alternative pathway for NAE biosynthesis in vivo and demonstrate that these new routes are especially important for the creation o

I've had these tires for three years and 70,000 miles. Excellent grip dry, wet, snowy, and icy roads in mountainous Montana (long winters!) They are noisy and a bit stiff. I'm running slicks right now and they are still holding on wet roads. Replacing them with new Hankooks this week.

Aggressive Driver (Hard Cornering)
I'm a courier so I drive a lot of highway miles. 25-30K miles per year. I can't really complain as I'm closing in on 100K miles on the Hankooks. They've been great in the Northeastern OH snowstorms, as well as vacation driving to FL. They started making noise at around 80K miles even with rotating and balancing and are progressively getting louder. The only reason I'm on this site is because I was checking out tire prices. Yes I would recommend these tires for reliability and longevity. If winter wasn't around the corner, I'd run them another 10K as there's still 4-5 32nds tread left.

These tires ROAR!! Worst tire noise I have experienced having driven over 1million miles. They are cupped or feathered somewhat in spite of regular rotations and several re-balance. They will slip on wet and dry road with little effort. On the plus side the tread seems to be durable with 26k miles on them.

Orca Breach
An original watercolour painting by Brazen Edwards-Hager on 140lb Arches cold pressed watercolour paper. A solitary Orca Whale travelling west towards the open Pacific Ocean just off Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. I can't begin to describe the joy and exhilaration I felt when I saw the Orca break the surface and I've been aching to bring forth this inspirational painting for some time. The power and beauty of an Orca Whale also known as the Killer Whale, is a world renowned symbol for luck and happiness. The Whale is a popular symbol for romance as they mate for life!

Khloe Kardashian to Kourtney: Scott Is "Brainwashing You"
The infighting continues at the Kardashian household.
In this sneak peek of the upcoming episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians (airing Sunday on E!), Khloe Kardashian continues to throw blows at Kourtney's boyfriend, Scott Disick.
Check out a racy photo of Kourtney, Khloe and Kim touting the show's new season!
After she accused Disick of intentionally getting her sister pregnant and then slapped him in the fourth season premiere last week, Khloe continues the fight. (Watch the clip above.)
"He's brainwashing you!" she tells Kourtney -- who gave birth to son Mason Dash on Monday -- after Disick said her slap was out of line.
See Kourtney Kardashian's wild pregnancy pics!
Her response? "You are disgusting, and you are going way too overboard."
While Kourtney watches their fight from the balcony, Khloe tells him to shut up.
Revisit reality TV's biggest catfights.
"Shut up?" Disick fires back. "Why don't you get mad again? Go hitting somebody!"

Does U.S.-China Strategic Cooperation Have To Be So Hard?
Can the United States and China cooperate to forestall threats to stability? A new CFR report, Managing Instability on China's Periphery, asks this question in the context of fragile states and regions that share borders with China—specifically North Korea, Myanmar, Pakistan, and Central Asia. I participated in the project, which included workshops with Chinese specialists assembled by Peking University. I also wrote the report's chapter on Central Asia.
The project is interesting because the U.S. and China actually have a long history of cooperating in places along China's border. Just take recent tensions over Afghanistan, for example. These strains belie the degree to which Beijing and Washington worked jointly to defeat the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s. Washington encouraged Chinese support for the Afghan mujahideen, and the two countries cooperated in other unprecedented ways during the conflict.
But that was then.

My son and I helped save the life of a three- winged dragonfly that was drowning in my aunt's pool a few summers ago. We scooped him out of the pool and gently blew on his wings until they dried. When he finally took flight, we were overjoyed. I've had a special fondness for dragonflies ever since, and I've always wanted to recreate one in crochet. This triangular shawl is worked in three pieces: two side triangles of a beautiful easy-to- increase lace stitch This pattern can be found in Kristin Omdahl's Crochet So Fine.

Marcia Yudkin | December 6, 2000 | Comments
In this wired world, you don't have to be a somebody yourself to win the ear of someone with influence. But who are these people, and where do you find them?
While listening to a set of audiotapes on the history of philosophy, I was struck by how well networked scholars and thinkers were in the 17th and 18th centuries. Long before the age of telephones, airplanes, and computers, philosophers such as Reni Descartes, Thomas Reid, and Immanuel Kant kept up very well with who was who in metaphysics and epistemology and carried on correspondence across national borders and language barriers.
In the Information Age, communication can occur instantly, and making personal contact with people whose opinions count is easier than ever. With a judicious use of email, you don't have to be a somebody yourself to win the ear of someone with influence.
Strangely, however, I don't see very many people talking about this as a method of publicity or word-of-mouth marketing.
Earlier this year, the communications consulting firm Burson-Marsteller released a fascinating study that bears on marketing by making one-to-one connections. The study identified "e-fluentials" -- about eight percent, or nine million, of the 109 million Internet users in the U.S. When one of these e-fluentials is impressed by a web site or new product, he or she tells an average of eight others, quickly producing an avalanche of interest as word spreads exponentially.
Let's look at some of the characteristics Burson-Marsteller discovered in the e-fluential crowd.
We've heard a lot about viral marketing but almost always with the assumption that any Internet user has a viral effect equal to that of any other Internet user. This study clearly demonstrates that this is not true. And while a few of the e-fluentials have traditional credentials or online positions, such as editor or forum sysop, giving them unusually wide access to an online audience, that's far from universally so.
To get an idea of the self-selected character of many e-fluentials, browse the reader reviews at Amazon.com. Occasionally you'll encounter reader comments submitted by someone labeled a top reviewer. In contrast to formally appointed book critics in the newspaper or on radio, this is someone who provides well-informed, in-depth reviews of books just because he or she likes to do so and whose reviews are highly rated by Amazon.com shoppers. If you were publishing a book, it might be worth your time to figure out which top reviewers gravitated to your topic and make sure they knew of the existence of your book.
Who's an E-Fluential in Your Niche?
Similarly in your niche, a top e-fluential might not be a popular keynote speaker, CEO, or trade association official but someone who simply knows everyone else active online in that niche and communicates like crazy with them. Specialized discussion lists and web forums provide a convenient window to who those e-fluentials might be. Look for frequent posters who appear to have the respect of other list or forum members. Often they spread their enthusiasm promiscuously, so to speak, from one venue to another.
Almost always you'll find e-fluentials responsive to email contacts so long as you approach them personally in a spirit of colleagueship. Agree or disagree with something they said. Flatter them mildly and sincerely. Ask questions about what they do. In short, schmooze them the way you might at a networking event. After expressing interest in them, you'll often find them receptive to what you do.
Remember, this costs only your time.
As for those e-fluentials who do hold traditional offline positions of one sort or another, many are much more approachable by email than by letter or phone. When you spot them quoted in Fast Company or some other business magazine that provides email addresses for those profiled in articles, you have a perfect opening.
Go ahead -- send out an email to one. You just might receive a response like the one speaker/consultant Nikki Sweet got when she emailed a CEO she'd read about but couldn't reach by phone: "Wow, isn't this email a great invention? The answer to your question is, please feel free to call me anytime -- here's my private telephone number."

B. FRANKLIN CHAPMAN was born at Clockville, Madison County, N.Y., March 24, 1817. His father, the late Colonel Stephen Chapman, and his mother, Keturah (Palmer) Chapman, were born in Stonington, Conn., and emigrated from there in 1812, settling in Clockville. The life of Colonel Chapman is especially interesting in view of his early military connections with the State militia, as well as his prominence as an attorney, and as an official both in State and local affairs. Among the relics now in possession of his granddaughter, Mrs. Charles E. Remick, of Oneida, and which are valued by her very highly for their historical associations, are his many commissions of appointment to various military and civil offices within the State, some of which date back to the early twenties, one or two of them having been issued by Governor De Witt Clinton. He received the various promotions in the State militia, until his appointment as Colonel of the Seventy-fourth New York Infantry, which commission
was issued to him by Governor DeWitt Clinton in August, 1827. He was a recognized leader of the bar in Madison County in its early history, being admitted to practice in 1822, and later in the same year was licensed to practise in the Supreme Court. He and the late Joshua A. Spencer were mechanics, but were employed in "pettifogging" cases, and soon became adepts in their profession, and finally together entered the law office of General Israel S. Spencer as students, where they prepared themselves for admission to the bar, as before mentioned. Colonel Chapman was an energetic man, full of enterprise. Through his efforts the first post-office was established in Clockville, in 1814; and he was appointed the first Postmaster, an office which he held (with a brief interval) until his resignation in 1847. He reared a family of twelve children, five of whom survived him. His death took place in June, 1861.

Grimsby mechanic bounces back from redundancy by taking over firm
Posted: February 17, 2014|
A MECHANIC from Grimsby is hoping to score top "marcs" from customers after bouncing back from redundancy by taking over an established motor business.
Marc Cain, 37, lost his job of 16 years when Tony's Autos, in Armstrong Street, closed in January, and decided to take the plunge and become his own boss.
It was perfect timing as Keith Holden, of Keith Holden Motor Repairs, in nearby Charlton Street, was looking to retire.
Marc has now renamed the 30-year-old company Top Marc's Auto Centre and is offering servicing, repairs and MOTs.
He said: "I had to decide whether to go and work for another company or to go it alone and become my own boss.
"When I found out Keith was retiring and that there was an opportunity to take over the business, it seemed too good to turn down. Keith has been here for 30 years so there's a really solid customer base and I've been lucky that my customers from Tony's have been supporting me, too."
Keith, 65, of Tetney, was forced to take a break from his business due to ill health last year and decided the time had come to retire after returning to work on a part-time basis just before Christmas.
He said: "I came here in 1984 and built the business up from scratch.
"Interestingly, I'd also been made redundant from my job as a fitter with the Ross Group at the time.
"I'm really pleased that Marc has taken over the business because I'm confident he will look after my customers, many of whom have become friends over the years.
"I'd like to thank them all for their custom and wish Marc all the best for the future."
Marc, who has five children, started his career in the industry by completing an apprenticeship as a motor mechanic at John Morris Motors, in Victoria Street.
He joined Tony's Autos in 1998 and was one of two mechanics employed by the firm when it closed on January 10.
Marc is now hoping that Top Marc's will become a real family firm, with son, Joshua Vinson, 18, about to start a Level 2 apprenticeship in motor mechanics, and wife, Joanne Cain, 37, already helping out on reception.
An extended office has already been installed at the premises, offering customers somewhere comfortable to wait while their cars are dealt with.
Marc added: "We want to offer a friendly, reliable service.
"The best part for me is that I've been able to set my own price structure here and I'm able to offer people really good value for money.
"I'm really looking forward to taking the business forward and welcoming new customers, as well as both my and Keith's existing clients."

The Concert -Chapter 1
My story started back when I was 14. I was-ahem- am a HUGE fan of Cody Simpson. Well, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Thory Celis. But my friends call me Brownie and really good friends call me Toto. So, as I already told you, when this all happened I was 14. And I lived in Belgium.
On the 10th of March I'd have a Meet&Greet with Cody Simpson. I had concert tickets and vip tickets. I was so excited. It was the 9th of March, around 10pm. I always sleep with Cody's music. I put my earbuds in and opened my playlist 'Cody ' . As I hit play I thought of a thing to do to get a bit sleepy. I went on twitter, and tweeted: @CodySimpson see you tomorrow #excited . I then went on facebook and updated my status: Can't wait for tomorrow . I got a few likes and comments, comments like: "What's happening tomorrow to be so happy for?" or "Why?? :S" . I then replied: "Finally meeting my hero, my idol, my future boyfriend Y'know, I've never been this excited before " . My friend from school, Tess, replied: "I'm so happy for you!! Your dream is finally coming true Wish I could be there with you and the hottie too " while reading that I giggled. I could't stop thinking about tomorrow, so I put on a song to match, On My Mind. I then fell asleep..
I woke up and went on facebook on my phone while I went to the bathroom to comb my hair. I saw I had a few notifications and 2 messages. I checked the messages first, they were from Tess and Tanne, Tanne is Tess' identical twin, the one from Tanne said: "Thory, I hope you'll have fun with Cody " , Tess' message said: " You've been going on and on about him everyday to me, about how much you love him, his songs. About how hot he is, you got into arguments with Julie because she said he's gay. And now, finally, you're going to meet him. I sure wish you luck and I hope he is just as chill and sweet as you describe him have fun xx" . I smiled, Tess is so sweet. She knows how much this means to me. I then checked my notifications, they were from the Cody Simpson Fanpage. Pictures of Cody and imagines all over the place, or should I say page? I liked them all, then logged off. I had breakfast, then dressed and brushed my teeth. I ran to my mom, remembering I haven't said 'goodmorning' yet. "Goodmorning mom" I said as I pecked her on the cheek, " Finally, I thought you were just gonna forget about me" she said as she winked. I went to my room, not knowing what to do. So I put up my music (of Cody of course) and checked my phone. 3 messages. "Well, let's see who are my friends" I thought. Willem: "You know what day it is today, right?(: xx " "Yeah, of course I do! xx" I replied. Tess: "Hey Brownie, excited much? ;P x" for a second I was zoned out, with my thoughts already with Cody, but then I replied to Tess: "Of course I am excited!! Today I'm meeting my celeb crush, hero, idol, you know what I mean! x" I read my third message. Julie: "Ermagurd :O , you're meeting Cody today??! Haha lol, didn't know that xd" I laughed to myself when I read Julie's text. I then replied: "Well yeah, I am. And how could you not know?? I've been excited and all happy and stuff for weeks " By this time Willem, my best friend, replied faster and the conversation was getting started. Willem: "I know too, because my best friend won't shut up about it!xx" Me: "Who is that weirdo? Haha xx" Willem: "You are, weirdo so already excited for today?xx" Me: "Thank you, and yes, I am excited. But I gotta go now. Bye friendo xx" Willem: " Byeee xxxx" I giggled. I realized I received more texts, 1 from Julie and 1 from Tess. Julie: "You're always happy when talking about him, wich you do practictly all the time so yeah! Not that I care about him, hate him, but hope you have fun. Bye" Me: "True story, and k thanks, text ya later buddy" Julie was the kind of friend that you could do stupid, crazy, silly things with and not even give a fuck. I read Tess' text. Tess: "Text me when you get there and tell me all about it when you're home. Even the details x" Me: "Sure, we'll do gotta go now bye x" Tess: "Yup, bye x". It was 11.30am now, I went to look for my cat, Socks. She's a ginger cat, and very sweet. I grabbed her as I plugged in my earbuds in my iPod and began to sing to the music.

A lot of people are advocating for pooling medical data and crowdsourcing medical history. But there's a much more interesting reason to share your medical data, and it has to do with finding "resilient" outliers. It's science we should all get behind.
Think parents should be able to select their children's talents and personalities? Or want to run and hide in the woods at the thought of it? Whatever your opinion, it is precisely the kind of question that Julian Savulescu wants you to take seriously.

March 26-27, 2014; Boston, Massachusetts
Contact: Alyson Grunder, Managing Director, New York Foreign Press Center; Media Relations Officer, New York Foreign Press Center, Ariel Howard.
Telephone: Alyson Grunder: 646-282-2837, email: firstname.lastname@example.com; Ariel Howard: 646-282-2832, email@example.com
Foreign correspondents gained insights into key trends in U.S. higher education during a March 26-27 reporting tour to Boston, Massachusetts organized by the New York Foreign Press Center. The group visited Harvard University, Olin College, MIT, and Bunker Hill Community College, and met with the Massachusetts Commissioner of Higher Education. The group also visited "Year-Up Boston," a program commended by the White House that aims to close the "opportunity divide" low-income students face in access to education and the job market. Highlights included a tour of Harvard's Innovation Lab, where journalists met with student entrepreneurs who are growing ventures in various stages of development. At a briefing from Harvard's Dean of Admissions, journalists learned about the admittance criteria for the incoming Harvard class, while at MIT, they heard about the growing role of online education and the impact of MOOCs (massive online open courses). Olin College showcased new approaches to STEM education that are revolutionizing the engineering professions. At Bunker Hill, the journalists met with officials and students from the school's international center and learned about the gateway that two-year community colleges offer to foreign students seeking U.S. educational opportunities.

For the record, I'm generally in the third camp. But the fourth people intrigue me and I would like to subscribe to their newsletter.
Excellent, one of my favorites so far.
Nicely done! Don Quixote mixed with the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Look, three x's in one sentence!
They have a name. They are called Atheists.
Speaking of which, here's a really good atheist store I found. Well, primarily atheist and science stuff…
Maybe wearing an atheist T-shirt won't change the world, but then again, it cant hurt. Every little bit helps.
Maybe wearing an atheist T-shirt won't change the world, but then again, it cant hurt. Every little bit helps.
Haha, it's like Pascal's wager for atheists. Except wearing a T-shirt actually might help a little.
I usually consider myself in the third or second category.
Also, even if I was in the fourth catergory, which I'm not, I woulddn't have a newsletter, but mosrtly because I don't… or wouldn't… know what to write in it.
I'm usually the first category when it comes to playing video games, but replace "giant" with "evil person and/or monster" and "windmill" with "suspiciously nice guy whom I am not barred from attacking".
I loved the topic a lot.Thanks for posting such great topic.
A cartoon on wind mill looks funny .I liked the way it has been presented.
Love Windmill.But I never see a real one.

The third chakra (Manipura) is the major energy center in the human consciousness system that governs our thinking process. It is the next developmental step above feeling (emotions linked to relational attachment), and produces an inner dialogue in addition to our drive-dependent feelings. If we use the New Age rainbow color coding of chakras by way of illustration, the fire of the animal body (Muladhara chakra) leads to the flickering of feelings (Swadhisthana chakra), which puts out a stable glow (Manipura chakra). In other words, in the natural development of human consciousness the…Click here for entire article

Dining Furniture from Dunelm
With its extensive range of contemporary and traditional dining room furniture, Dunelm ensures its customers can dine in homely style. Dunelm is a UK retailer with more than 120 stores across the country. However, as well as being stocked in its stores, the retailer's products can also be ordered online, from its website.
Customers can choose from individually-designed Dunelm dining tables, as well as a whole variety of co-ordinated pieces from its complete dining room furniture collections. These collections feature matching dining chairs, sideboards, cabinets and tables to make getting a consistent look far easier. There's also a wide range of plates, cutlery sets and tablecloths – for that complete family dinner table layout.
Established in 1979 in Leicestershire, the company began life as a home-based textiles business as Dunelm Mill. Founders Bill and Jean Adderley initially sold their wide selection of products from a local market stall, with a core philosophy of "simply value for money."
Coupled with their attention to great customer service, the approach saw the business quickly build up a loyal base of customers. This growth saw Dunelm Mill expand out onto Leicester's high street in 1984. From here the foundations were laid. More store openings, first in the East Midlands, and then the rest of the United Kingdom, quickly followed.
Now, almost 30 years later, and with a shortened name, Dunelm has more than 140 superstores situated across the UK and Northern Ireland. Despite the considerable changes the company has seen, the Adderley family and their original philosophy have remained a consistent presence at Dunelm.
Bill and Jean's son Will Adderley continues to be involved in the day-to-day running of the company - as chief executive - and the company's motto "simply value for money" is clear for customers to see in every superstore.
Dunelm's approach has culminated in a number of award wins, with readers of House Beautiful magazine voting it Home Retailer of the Year in 2013 – marking the third time it's won the award – as well as Online Retailer of the Year 2013.

Scientists funded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication
Disorders (NIDCD), one of the National Institutes of Health, are a step closer
to unraveling the mystery of taste. In a study published in the December 2, 2005,
issue of Science, researchers have pinpointed the chemical responsible for transmitting
signals from the taste buds — small sensory bumps on the tongue, throat, and
roof of the mouth — to the taste nerves leading to the brain. Today's findings
provide scientists with a more complete picture of this complicated process,
helping advance the study of taste and taste disorders.
"People with taste disorders might not be able to enjoy the fun of eating and
are at risk for other health problems, such as poorly balanced nutrition, so
researchers are working to understand more fully how our sense of taste works," says
James F. Battey, Jr., M.D., Ph.D., director of the NIDCD. "Until now, there has
always been a missing link between the detection of chemicals in the taste buds
and the transmission of chemical signals from the taste nerves to the brain.
Through an ingenious use of genetic engineering, these researchers have finally
been able to solve the puzzle."
Using "knockout mice," mice that are genetically altered to be missing one or
more key genes, the researchers were able to narrow the field of possible chemicals
to one: adenosine 5'-triphosphate, or ATP, a high-energy molecule that is also
important for helping cells in the body to function. The scientists produced
mice that are missing the genes that encode two key receptors found in taste
nerves — P2X2 and P2X3 — both of which bind to ATP. They found that the taste
nerves of mice lacking the P2X2 and P2X3 genes showed no response to taste stimulation,
although the nerves remained responsive to touch, temperature, and menthol. These
results indicate that not only are P2X2 and P2X3important in transmitting taste
signals, but the chemical that they bind to — ATP — is also important. The knockout
mice also showed much lower behavioral responses to sweeteners, monosodium glutamate,
and bitter substances. What's more, stimulation of taste buds in a laboratory
preparation resulted in the release of ATP, which would be predicted if ATP is
involved in the transmission of signals from the taste buds to the taste nerves.
The research was conducted by a team of scientists from the Rocky Mountain Taste
and Smell Center, University of Colorado, as well as the University of Wisconsin,
Colorado State University, and the University of Minnesota.
NIDCD is a component of the National Institutes of Health, an agency of
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. NIDCD sponsors research and
research training on normal and disordered processes of hearing, balance, smell,
taste, voice, speech, and language.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) — The Nation's Medical Research
Agency — includes 27 Institutes and Centers and is a component of
the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is the primary Federal
agency for conducting and supporting basic, clinical, and translational medical
research, and it investigates the causes, treatments, and cures for both common
and rare diseases. For more information about NIH and its programs, visit http://www.nih.gov.

I hope my previous two posts have gotten you excited about exploring the world of diaper patterns.
As promised, I've searched the Web to bring together some additional resources about them.
Diapers in Needlework (instruction)
My friend, Judy Harper, loves diaper patterns and has a lovely post about them on her blog. Best of all it shows two wonderful designs. I have the egg one in my stash, but haven't stitched it yet.
On the ANG site, there is a two-part article on diaper patterns. Read Part 1 here. And Part 2 here.
Ann Strite-Krutz has a wonderful sampler available to order for teaching you about diapers.
Here are picutres of several stitchers work from an EGA class, Old Staffordshire, which showcases diaper patterns.
Diapers in Other Media (inspriation)
Artlandia has pictures of three diaper patterns.
Google Books has the book Pattern Design availabel on-line and from it you can learn how to create your own geometric patterns.
Look around, you're sure to find more to inrpie you!
