The SnoBall Beetle
by Paul Prentiss
Towards the end of July I wrote an article on Terrestrials for the Boulder Camera. There was a comment about knowing a fisherman/guide who used a foam beetle almost exclusively in RMNP. That someone happens to be Dennis Collier whose SnoBall is our Fly of the Month.
Dennis, a well known local fisherman and fly tier, has had a love affair with RMNP for many years. Much of his energy is focused on the Big Thompson. This area was the inspiration for the SnoBall Beetle. Ants and beetles form a significant portion of the food supply for the fish in the Big T. Dennis points out that "at 9000 feet of elevation, major aquatic insect hatches are sparse - this is terrestrial territory!"
The SnoBall derives its name from the deer hair 'sight indicator' which can easily be seen against its black body. The clients Dennis guides in RMNP love it because it is visible and easy to fish as a single or as an indicator on a two-fly rig.
You can modify the indicator and body colors to suit the area you intend to fish. According to Dennis, "white and fluorescent chartreuse as an indicator work best for me and I carry both."
When you tie this fly three points are worthy of note. First, use 2X heavy wire wet fly hooks which helps the fly land and remain in the upright position. The heavy wire is also more bend-resistant for those occasions when you catch the overhanging grasses on your cast and give it a good tug to free the fly. This will be a frequent experience if you're fishing the bug where it needs to be fished - tight to the bank! Second, put a drop of 'ZapAGap' super glue on the thread wraps to keep the foam from rolling on the hook shank. Last, strip the round rubber legs off the sheet in two (attached) strands at a time. Tie them directly to the side of the foam in this (still attached) configuration, then separate and trim upon completion. It's this subtle detail that results in the uniformly splayed legs.

Why not convert to 220V?
A 2 wire does the start/run in the pump. A 3 wire does the start/run in the control box.
You should most likely bond the ground to the casing.
HP and GPM depends on your planned water use and on what your well can produce as well as the size of your pressure tank. Given the static water level, I think 1/2 HP, 10 GPM is a minimum.
The wire should be taped to the downpipe as you mentioned.
The pipe should bear the weight, not a rope.

She's climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Fuji, but nothing, Payge McMahon says, prepared her for the grueling seven-day, 167-mile Grand to Grand Ultra through the Grand Canyon and Zion National Park last month.
"It was the hardest adventure I've every done," said the Emmaus native, who turned away from her Wall Street job several years ago after her mother died to fulfill her mom's personal bucket list. Since that time, McMahon has made a living doing adventure races, climbing the world's tallest mountains and training athletes, including the Tennessee Titans, in yoga.
McMahon is back in town for her 20th high school reunion with the Emmaus Class of 1992, but will be teaching her special "Rockin Vinyasa Yoga" workshop 1:30-3:3 p.m. Saturday at Emmaus Yoga, 860 Broad St., Suite 105, in Emmaus.
She also has spoken at several local schools this week about the importance of pushing yourself beyond what you think you are capable of doing, something she learned as a teenager recovering from a broken back that nearly left her paralyzed.
Nothing may have been more difficult for her than climbing back to not only functionality, but to new heights. She has since discovered even more challenges in the Grand to Grand Ultra.
"We were up and down so many mountains," she said of the Grand to Grand Ultra, which included elevations starting at a mile high and ended at 9,300 feet of elevation. "We were in deserts. There was so much soft sand, it killed me. I had blisters on blisters. It was all mental the last three days because my feet were so bad."
Still, she finished the race 40th of 60 runners and made all the time standards for the checkpoints along the way.
The unique thing about the Grand to Grand Ultra was that it was a seven-day, self-supporting ultra. There was no support during the race. Each participant had to carry their supplies for the seven days.
"It was like a hybrid of a multi-day ultra marathon crossing through forest trails, desert, river crossings and rocky roads," she said.
McMahon, who writes for Competitor magazine, National Geographic Adventure, Women's Adventure Magazine and Self Reliance Illustrated, as well as blogs, is doing a piece for National Geographic Adventure on critiquing her training for the event.
"I should have done more running," she admitted. "I should have tried to do some trail ultra marathons like 30 miles or 50K, but I really don't like running. I probably didn't run any longer than eight miles in training at any given time. The first day of the race, I had to run 31 …I went through about half a marathon and then had to hike aggressively the last part of the day."
McMahon said people dropped out of the race due to injury or not making the time checkpoints, and that she was competing with people who have climbed Mount Everest.
"I'm fascinated by endurance athletes," she said. "I'm an athlete, but I'm not one of those gifted athletes. I push myself, which is why a lot of my clients like me, because I show what you're capable of if you push yourself above and beyond what you think you can do."
McMahon trains athletes from MMA and the NFL to triathletes and marathon runners. The Vinyasa Yoga she teaches is also called "power yoga," but she does it with music ranging the gamut from Tupac to The Police, and at a quicker pace than traditional forms of Vinyasa.
"It has definitely changed how I am able to perform with mountaineering and rock climbing," McMahon said of the yoga. "Even with my back injury, I can do things that I couldn't do before."
The yoga workshop costs $25, and preregistration is advised. To preregister, call 610-421-8200. For more information on McMahon, check out her web site at http://www.turnthepayge.com

BOSTON, Feb. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The music video, "At Fenway," which features legendary film and TV star William Shatner is now the most viewed YouTube video for the actor on YouTube, surpassing his "Rocketman" video.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140225/LA72209)
The homage to Fenway Park in Boston has received more than 11.6 million views on YouTube, and is now also the most viewed video on YouTube in the parks history on the popular video sharing website.
The video was added to The National Baseball Hall of Fame library in August, and can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2U5euOQiaZE
Superstar David Ortiz sent out a "tweet" about the video when it debuted on YouTube, as did baseball player Will Middlebrooks. It was also discussed on "The Today Show," as hosts laughed while enjoying it, a clip of "The Today Show" segment can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rM4SElvidg as part of the shows "Spanning The World" segment.
The music video is the first of its kind ever to be filmed entirely at Fenway Park by a solo artist. Its writer intends on writing a book about the experience of putting the music video together, and what it took to get it done. It will also detail what happened after the music video was released.
As baseball season is just around the corner, the video has been receiving more attention than it had through the off-season, as was expected.
"We are glad that we were able to accomplish not only the first music video ever to be filmed at Fenway Park by a solo artist in its existence, but something that will outlive us all. That truly is the goal when you come right down to it, and its legacy. William Shatner is now an eternal part of that fields legacy, as is everyone else who was involved in the video," says Enrique M. Grullon, an executive of H Infinity Books, Inc. who will publish the book that discusses just how that music video came to be.
"The book will be a very interesting portrayal of the politics of dealing with the management of the team the video promoted, and the rest you'll just have to read when you see the book. It's fascinating, to say the least," says Grullon. "Beyond fascinating. Every fan will most definitely want to read this book."
The book will be released in July, 2014 by H Infinity Books, and will be available at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and iBooks. An audio book will also be released.
The song "At Fenway" is now available at Amazon.com and iTunes, as well as everywhere else that music is sold.
"As baseball season nears, it's getting a massive spike that we had not expected," says Grullon.

Here are some random thoughts that shot through my head while reading the article.
"In a restaurant, you ask her what she would like from the menu and offer to order it for her. "
It would be beneath the dignity of the lady to verbally interact with a human (the waiter) beneath her station.
"You keep her drink cup filled. "
Indeed, one must get the lady plastered.
"You do not call last minute to invite her to dinner, movie or another date. You give her plenty of time, at least two days."
The lady in question must be given sufficient time to pick her outfit and select a purse that matches. This time also gives her time to requisition new vestments if she decides the adequacy of her current options is lacking. In addition if a gentleman has a desire to take multiple ladies out on the same date, they must be given sufficient time to research and stalk their potential adversaries.
"You are on time. You arrive when you say you will and leave when you say you will."
A gentleman must not attempt to entertain a potential marriage concelebrant beyond a contractually agreed upon time. This also properly instructs the lady that the gentleman's time is more imortant to him than she is.
"You are kind to her mother and respectful to her father if you meet them."
While it would be preferable to avoid meeting her family members, one must not give them a reason to jump on horses and chase you down with a shotgun if the unpleasant does happen.

Roma Economic Strategies in Postsocialist Romania
A public lecture by GABRIEL TROC, Babes-Bolyai University, Cluj, Romania
Published: Wednesday, February 25, 2009
Please install flash or upgrade to a browser that supports HTML5 video
In many Eastern European countries, the Roma, a population that has never been properly integrated in mainstream society, are among the groups most affected by the social and economic changes that have occurred after the collapse of socialism. While socialism was a time of relative economic relief for the Roma, their post-socialist experience has been, for the most part, fraught with stigmatization, poverty, and social exclusion. As many lost their jobs and benefits, the Roma have had to rely on revived traditional crafts and develop new economic activities - many of them have ended up in deep poverty but some groups, especially the traditional ones, were particularly successful. This talk explores the economic strategies of the Roma in Romania after 1990, with an emphasis on the strategies deployed by a traditional group from Transylvania, where Dr. Troc has done fieldwork in recent years.
Gabriel Troc is Associate Professor of anthropology at the Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj, Romania. He is currently a Visiting Professor in the Department of Anthropology at UCLA.

Crystal Ashtrays
Nicholas M. Dawes
From the Print Edition:
maduro issue, Winter 93/94
Actor John Goodman tells a story of some advice he received from Peter O'Toole while making King Ralph in 1991. During a break in filming, Goodman, in awe of the British thespian, asked to borrow an ashtray. O'Toole, with characteristic flair, flicked his ash on the floor and declared: "Make the world your ashtray, my boy."
Such a gesture may be fitting in eccentric circles, but would hardly be acceptable in the boardroom, office or around the house. That is why we need ashtrays. However, in a world where smoking is increasingly under siege, top-quality ashtrays, especially for cigars, are harder and harder to find. Bur not every manufacturer has forgotten its cigar-smoking clientele.
The history of ashtrays is far shorter than the history of smoking. The first examples probably date from the early 19th century, and ashtrays were in common use by the late Victorian period. By the early part of the 20th century, ashtray design had evolved to provide models of various scales for all smoking habits. These were often combined with devices for holding cigars, cigarettes or other smoking paraphernalia, including lighters, cutters and pipes.
The years immediately following the First World War saw a distinct rise in the popularity of smoking among women, particularly the young flapper generation, who began to enjoy many of the pursuits and pleasures previously limited to the male domain. Several manufacturers capitalized on this trend by designing ashtrays of a delicate, dainty and distinctly feminine nature, which are among the most appealing and collectible ashtrays today.
As if in assertive contrast, ashtrays of this vintage designed for men tend to be large, solid and made of materials that symbolize power and stability, such as marble and bronze. There is a clear distinction in this era between cigarette and cigar ashtrays, with the latter clearly designed for masculine appeal.
Throughout the history of ashtray design, glass has been the manufacturer's favorite material. Glass, particularly when it is of crystal (or high-lead-content) type, has all the essential properties of a successful ash receiver: it is easily cleaned, durable and not subject to stains, owing to its impervious nature. Furthermore, the refractory nature of glass (which has been subjected to temperatures usually in excess of 1,000 degrees Celsius), makes it entirely resistant to a burning tip, and glass ashtrays can be included as ornamental accessories in any interior.
The modern cigar smoker is faced with fewer choices of glass ashtrays than smokers a generation ago, when ashtrays the size of manhole covers were strategically placed wherever cigars were smoked, from the boardroom to the boudoir. Tom McInerney, vice president of marketing for Waterford Crystal, explains: "Waterford's limited assortment of ashtrays is strictly volume-related. These items have not been in demand in our market for quite some time. Since it is expensive to introduce new crystal designs, we prefer to develop our more profitable product categories."
Steuben, the country's most prestigious glass manufacturer, has just discontinued its one remaining ashtray. As with Waterford, Steuben has not been successful in recent years with smoking-related accessories.
CIGAR AFICIONADO has assembled the finest glass ashtrays from the world's most established glassmakers, all of which are available throughout the United States, and most of which can be found internationally. The following is our sampling, with manufacturers listed alphabetically:
"Coronas" - $635
"Palma" - $585
"Triomphe" - $215
"Vulcan" - $360

Quick update. I came back to The Cottage for a late brunch about a month ago, this time in good health. Matt B. and I ate with two friends, and we had our dog Duke along, tethered to the gate on the other side of the patio. I was very happy to go back, and I'd like to make a point of brunching here whenever I'm in the area.
The Cottage in La Jolla On Fay Ave – Just to set the record straight....This place The Cottage is NOT at all what it is cracked up to be. Took a friend for a birthday breakfast. She had the Western Omellette and I had their specialty Stuffed French Toast With Strawberries and Marscapone Cheese. Both of these dishes had no taste. The eggs were imitation and not real eggs/ the mushrooms and spinach had no flavor!!!!!! The french toast was soooo thick it looked gross. and did not taste good. Coffee was terrible and weak. Inside the noise was soooo loud we were anxious to get out of the place. Does not resemble the photos of the place and food on the website....Even with the 20% initial discount, not worth the trip....Go to the French Gourmet first,. where food is out of this world, service great, and atmosphere wonderful.
Best Breakfast in La Jolla – Hands down. Friendly service. Indoor-outdoor dining. Good fresh ingredients. Take an english muffin if you want or upgrade it to pumpkin bread or cranberry muffins. There is a great California omelet with avocado and bacon and oatmeal pancakes with bananas and blueberries. Thumbs up!
Cozy restaurant, known for California-style breakfasts, also serves lunch in the heart of La Jolla's village. – In Short
On a quiet corner just off La Jolla's main shopping avenue, this sunny, yellow cottage eatery surrounded by a white fence is accessible only through a narrow trellised archway. Staff wearing white t-shirts and khaki bottoms serve guests in a yellow sky-lit dining room furnished with wooden tables and cozy booths, or out on the patio with white plastic lawn chairs and table umbrellas. Specialties include strawberry-stuffed French toast, eggs benedict and tuna melts.

Bob Pelletier of Scarborough received a letter in the mail this week telling him that the $1,200 property tax refund he used to get each August won't arrive this year.
"They've repealed the program and put in its place a basic pacifier that's a $300 credit. It's kind of a joke for someone on Social Security who is barely getting by," said Pelletier, who declined to give his age. "It's obviously going to be a huge difference for me."
Pelletier's letter from Maine Revenue Services indicated that instead of the refund, he may qualify for a $300 refundable tax credit starting in January.
The current biennial state budget repealed the Maine Residents Property Tax and Rent Refund Program, known as the "circuit breaker."
It was replaced by the property tax fairness credit, which is refundable -- it can be claimed in full even if it exceeds taxes owed. But to receive it, a homeowner must file a state income tax return, even if the person receives only Social Security income.
Fewer than half the estimated 200,000 eligible households in Maine had applied for the circuit breaker program in the past. In fiscal year 2012, it had about 89,000 recipients, said Michael Allen, the state's associate commissioner for tax policy. In 2011, the average yearly refund was $479 and the maximum refund was $1,600, according to Maine Revenue Services.
A study by the AARP found a 40 percent participation rate among similar programs in other states.
Experts have speculated that people did not participate for a variety of reasons. Some didn't know it existed or assumed they didn't qualify. Others may have found the application form too complicated or didn't want to deal with Maine Revenue Services.
"A lot of people in the past may not have participated for any number of reasons. It's hard to know," said Allen.
Under the new tax credit program, the state estimates about 125,000 people will qualify to receive credits totaling $34 million to $35 million, Allen said.
Mainers who qualify can get a refundable credit of up to $300 a year, or up to $400 if they are 70 or older.
Rep. Margaret Rotundo, D-Lewiston, co-chair of the Legislature's Appropriations and Financial Affairs Committee, said the joint committee reached a "compromise" after the governor threatened to significantly alter the circuit breaker program by making it available only to people aged 65 and older, or veterans.
Rotundo said Democrats felt they could not muster enough votes to override the governor, but were reluctant to do away with the program. She said Democrats hope to increase the refundable amounts of the tax credit in the future.
"It's not as much but it is better than nothing," Rotundo said.
Rep. Kathleen D. Chase, R-Wells, ranking minority member on the Appropriations Committee, said the circuit breaker was too complicated and confusing. She said the new program should attract more applicants because the forms will be easier to fill out.
Chase said the committee felt it important to offer some relief, even if it is less than the circuit breaker.
"All in all going forward, I think we will see a lot more people applying for refunds," Chase said.
House Majority Leader Seth Berry (D-Bowdoinham) issued a statement Wednesday night.
"The governor and Republicans were unwilling to give up the tax breaks they passed for the wealthy in order to restore cuts to programs like these that help middle- and low-income Mainers. Demcrats will continue to push for the tax credit to be more robust and fair going forward," Berry said.
The loss of the property tax and rent refund program may be a hardship for some low-income Mainers, such as Pelletier.
"All bets are off. I have to make some changes. I'm going to sell my house and rent something cheaper. There's nothing left to cut -- there's food, air, oil. What's left to trim?" Pelletier said.
The state sent the letter this week explaining the changes to people who would typically get a property tax or rent refund check in August. That letter, as well as information listed on the Maine Revenue Services website, is all the state did to alert people who would otherwise be expecting a check, Allen said.
The new refundable tax credit will get some "outreach efforts" from the state, and through word of mouth from tax professionals and volunteer groups who work with low-income and older residents, Allen said.
The circuit breaker program had been promoted on the Maine Revenue Services website, at local libraries and through notices posted on municipal websites.
The change in tax relief programs will save the state's general fund an estimated $20 million to $25 million, Allen said. That number is based on the total amount the property tax and rent refund program would have cost had it continued, he said. The circuit breaker program was budgeted at just over $43 million in fiscal 2012.
There are other tax-relief programs available for homeowners, such as the homestead exemption, which subtracts $10,000 from the assessed value of a Mainer's home for the purpose of assessing property taxes. Some narrow exemptions also exist for certain veterans.
The new program aims to help Maine homeowners or renters who make $40,000 a year or less. To qualify, individuals must have paid property tax on a home in Maine that was more than 10 percent of their Maine adjusted gross income, or paid rent that was more than 40 percent of Maine adjusted gross income.
Social Security does not count as income. Sources of income include pensions and retirement pay, distributions from an IRA or 401K plan, rental income from real estate, interest from dividends from stocks or bonds, unemployment benefits, as well as damages paid under court judgments.
To get the tax credit, individuals must file state tax returns and fill out a special worksheet, which will be available in January.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – The James Madison men's golf team has put together two very solid rounds and is the 36-hole leader at the Joe Agee Invitational, Sept. 30. The two-day, 54-hole tournament, hosted by William & Mary, is being played at the Williamsburg Country Club (Par 71 - 6,822 yards) in Williamsburg, Va.
The Dukes posted a 2-over 286 in the opening round and was one shot behind Towson but improved four shots to 2-under 282 in the afternoon and is at even-par 568, two shots better than the Tigers. William & Mary is in third at 8-over 576, with Saint Joseph's at 17-over 585 and Fairleigh Dickinson at 18-over 586 rounding out the top five teams.
Freshman Poom Pattaropong (Minburi, Bangkok, Thailand) continues his impressive early play, posting back-to-back 1-under 70 scores to currently sit in a tie for fourth at 1-under 140. Junior Jon Weiss (Florence, S.C./Sumter (Newberry)) is one shot back at 1-under 141 after an opening round even-par 71 followed by a 1-under 70.

Senior Tucker Koch (Malvern, Pa./Malvern Prep) rounds out the team scores at 9-over 151, tied for 35th. Playing as an individual, sophomore Chris Kapsak is tied for 16th at 4-over 146, including an even-par 71 in the first 18.
William & Mary's Alex Hicks is the leader after a pair of 5-under 66s put him at 10-under 132, four shots clear of Sam Stewart of Towson at 6-under 136.
The Dukes will go after the team title Tuesday, playing with CAA foes Towson and William & Mary in the final pairings.

Update: After putting my head together with some of the other operators, we determined a couple of other things that can improve your active listening skills.
When we bring on a new employee, the first thing they learn is customer service, and the most important skill we focus on is listening. Customer service is about being an active listener. You can't just "hear" what people are saying, you have to really be grabbing onto the words and turning them over in your head.
What does it take to be an active listener? There are a lot of rules to active listening but we break these skills down into basic steps. These steps have improved our customer service responses and our communication.
(NEW) Clarify The Message
One of the best tools when speaking to a customer is the ability to clarify the message they are trying to send. You never want to make assumptions when trying to decide what a customer wants. Most of the time you will get that assumption wrong and have to go back to the customer. It's always better when you're not clear to make sure you understand. A lot of times a customer uses words or phrases that might not be what you would use. You can just repeat it back to them in another way. "It sounds like you need..." or "Let me make sure I understand..." are great ways to start.
(NEW) Test Your Listening Skills
The Active Empathetic Listening (AEL) measure has eleven key items that test how well you sense, process, and respond when you listen to someone else. Sensing is the way you indicate you are taking in the information, processing is how well you construct the narrative delivered, and responding is how you ask questions to make sure you understand. Take the AEL test and find out where you stand as a great listener and how you can improve.
Focus on Understanding
Engage in communication with the goal of "understanding" instead of "understood". When your customer is speaking, it's best to focus on what the customer is saying, rather than trying to get a head start on how you're going to respond. Once someone in a conversation goes on the defensive, you are less likely to come to a resolution.
Give Your Undivided Attention to the Person Speaking
This may seem like common sense but devices like cell phones and the constant access to email are roadblocks to active listening. When a customer calls, disengage from the emails you're working on, the spreadsheet you are clicking through, or the text message that might be waiting on you. Engage fully in the conversation that is present and not the one that is waiting for you to type a response.
Play Pretend
The more I can act like I'm face to face with a customer, the better our conversation goes. Imagine the customer across from you and nod when you understand. Responding to the customer as you would if you were face to face, you will be an even better listener. I will smile while I speak and even nod my head as the customer tells me what's going on. It makes me feel like I truly understand the customer's needs.
It's not always easy to listen and even more so when we are immediately trying to figure out what we are going to say or have too many things going on at once. If we can just stop for a moment and become a more active listener, it will improve our communication with everyone.
Looking for ways to improve your speaking abilities? Here are four more resources:

Okay, maybe "fun" is the wrong idea here. The words conference call are not exactly going to inspire anyone to think of a delightful day at the circus or spending a beautiful afternoon whirling around on your favorite roller coaster.
When people search for how to make a conference "fun", I think that they are looking for ways to make calls more effective. Implementing some of the rules on your next conference can help with the lack of effectiveness.
Rule #1 – Only Have Conferences When You Need To
This brings up a good question. What is "need to"? It's going to vary for you but Al Pittampalli, the author of The Modern Meeting Standard, says you should only have a meeting when there is something to decide. This isn't going to cover everything and it's not going to apply for all circumstances, but it is a good benchmark to start from.
Rule #2 – Consider Including Video Conferencing
Even if you're meeting with coworkers you've seen a number of times, integrating video conferencing can help increase the effectiveness of your meetings. A video element adds the ability to read non verbal communication to a meeting, as well as providing a way to keep everyone accountable. Not just for attendance, but for how well they are paying attention. If you see someone staring off into space or working on something else, you can call on them and bring them back to the topic at hand.
Rule #3 – Prepare for the Call
Finally, make sure you prepare for your meetings and conferences. No one wants to be in a meeting where the moderator is stumbling over their notes. When you prepare, you can get to the meet of the meeting quickly and efficiently. You don't want to waste anyone's time, and your participants will appreciate that. One way to prepare for your call is to write out your agenda and make sure you know what to say regarding each point.
Are you following these conference call rules? What rules can you contribute to make your conference calls more fun?

With budget shortfalls affecting school districts across the United States, a lot of public schools are turning to virtual learning to ease some of the burden of these shortfalls.
When I started researching for this blog post I found that here in Texas, we have the Texas Virtual Academy, which is 100% supported and accredited by our school districts. I did some quick asking around in the office and found out that one of our operators has a child that started the program this year. I talked to him to give me some of his first impressions about the program.
What's Cool
The ideas of distance learning are not exclusive to the state of Texas. In fact, a lot of school districts are embracing these ideas as financial burdens begin to affect the ability to hire more educators. Distance learning isn't just about saving money, it also exposes students to different teachers and classroom set ups.
Imagine the student that attends a large school district where the student to teacher ratio is 30:1 and this student struggles in the subject of Math. Now take that same student and virtually connect him or her to a classroom in small town America where the student to teacher ratio is 15:1. I wonder if the extra attention might help to boost this students grades.
We have an education system that if full of different perspectives and loyal educators. Embracing distance learning is going to give students the chance to be exposed to a number of the different kinds of classroom experiences.
What do you think about the potential benefits or drawbacks of distance learning?

Image from the Official White House Flickr
It's the iconic photo that will wind up in history books. As President Obama, Vice President Biden, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, and other members of the defense team watched the raid on Osama Bin Laden's compound; this picture has quickly become the visual representation of a historic moment.
This picture can give us a lot of insight into what the senior members of the White House staff were thinking, as this photo is clearly an inside look into what the staff was thinking. When they say that a picture is worth a thousand words, it is true because a photo freezes a moment and gives you a chance to study the non-verbal cues of a moment.
Notice that no one in the room is standing close enough to touch each other and that the majority of the men in the room have their arms crossed over their chest. This is a sign of aggression. When we feel aggressive, we do not want anyone in our personal space, and we cross our arms over our chest as a way to protect ourselves against something we do not want to see or hear. It is a protective measure.
It's obvious that Secretary of State Hilary Clinton is feeling a very strong emotion to whatever it is that she is seeing on the screen. Perhaps it was the moment that Osama Bin Laden's face first appeared on the screen. Perhaps it's the moment that the "kill shot" was recorded. We may never know, but Hilary's hand over her mouth, is an expression of disbelief. The images she sees unfolding in front of her are so unfathomable, that she feels uneasy and distrusting.
President Obama's sitting position indicates that he clearly feels the weight of the world on his shoulders. His back is slouched, his arms on his knees, and the thin, grim lines of his face. There's a lot going on here. His posture indicates that he feels the weight of whatever is going on, but his face is the most interesting to me. First of all, it's obvious that he looks tired. I'm sure that making a national security decision like this could keep you up at night. For me, the most telling non-verbal cue for Barack Obama is the shape of his mouth.
His mouth is shaped in a thin line, nearly straight across. I can identify two emotions from such a non-verbal cue: anger and concern. Clearly whatever is going on will change the world, it's a decision that was made with great care, and now, to watch it unfold, it simply brings concern. President Obama, like all Americans, was affected by the attacks of September 11, 2011, and to be in a position where you get to see the man who was responsible, brought to justice, in my opinion would bring nothing but the original anger back to the surface.
We may never know what scene was being observed of the raid on bin Laden's compound in Pakistan, but this picture will be an iconic and important moment.
In business and relationships, we often wish for the ability to read the minds of others. It's not a thing that we can do, but what we can do is read someone's body language to at least get an idea of what someone is thinking. This picture is a perfect representation of how much body language can indicate in any particular situation.
Non-verbal cues are important to communication and while the subject matter of your video conference or meeting is probably not going to be as intense as watching a raid on the Most Wanted Man in America, your body language will say a lot about the way you're feeling.

Guest Post from Jennifer Fong, jenfongspeaks.com
I've been involved with webinar technology from close to its very inception. Back in my instructional design days, I remember working with trainers employed by the corporation I was working with, trying to create an instructional script format that would make it easy for them to deliver training using this new technology.
Since then, I've watched the providers of this technology move in and out of prominence, and watched the pricing structure largely favor corporations with big budgets. This has troubled me a bit, because I've lately had the opportunity to work with a lot of direct sellers (think Tupperware or Mary Kay ladies) and see the online meeting tool provider market largely ignore this key demographic (which is a mistake, since at last count there were 15.1 million people involved in direct selling in the US alone, and more than 59 million worldwide.)
You see, direct sellers make a lot of presentations, but often they are moms (or dads) living on a family budget, and 50 bucks a month or more can often be a big hit. Add to that the fact that, until recently, all you could really do was PowerPoint, and these providers really didn't do what we needed them to.
There are a few reasons why direct sellers need a good online meeting tool:
As part of these meetings, we typically need to share information, possibly a live demo or two, and often do some group browsing of websites.
In order to really effectively do these things, here are some of the features that direct sellers have said they would find incredibly useful in an online meeting tool.
Direct sales provide such an incredible opportunity for online meeting tool providers. We're typically a loyal bunch, we are the poster child of word of mouth (we're constantly sharing great resources with one another), and our use of certain technologies can put those tools in front of millions. It's time for the online meeting industry to take a closer look at this demographic. There's a world of opportunity just waiting for them.
Do you do online sales that involve live presentations? How do you use online meeting technology to facilitate those presentations? Would love to read your thoughts in the comments below.

Tis the season for … snow, ice, and roads that you can't even look at without spinning wildly out of control. In most parts of the country there is one constant in every winter season – winter weather, and it causes a headache. Seattle, WA and Buffalo, NY have already experienced a snow storm, one that snarls traffic, and makes getting to work nearly impossible.
Earlier this week, there were reports that we were going to get some "record-breaking snowfall" here in DFW. That report has since started to fade from the forecast, but if the early season computer models are already starting to predict snowfalls, I can only imagine what will happen come January.
Not only is this the beginning of the winter weather season but it's also the holidays – a time of year when non-profit organizations are hosting fundraisers. What happens when an event you planned has to be cancelled or if your guests cannot safely arrive? As an educator, how do you prepare when a crucial lecture must be rescheduled? In government, you can't run a country without being able to get people in the same place – so how do you continue when you can't get to work, school, or your event?
Check with your conference call provider to see what their capacity is for last minute / large events. Get everyone on your conference call and let business continue as usual. Even if you're in sunny California with a speaker who's stranded in their hometown, you can get a phone hooked up to the loudspeakers and have your speaker call in. Their presentation still happens and your guests are still happy. Your event happens, despite Mother Nature's disagreement with you.
Where was the worst place you were stranded during snow or ice? How did you continue conducting your business or did you crawl under a blanket and come out after everything thawed out?
Until today, I had never heard of ICEPAC, but this acronym stands for the steps of creating a great presentation. Whether you have weeks to craft, or get handed the project last minute, this acronym--and the other tips in the article--break down a presentation into easy-made parts.
Interest - If no one cares about a subject, then why bother with a web conference? If they're supposed to care, then it's your job to make them care. Think about how your message will affect your participants daily lives and business, and emphasize the more interesting points.
Comprehension - There's such a thing as too much detail, especially if your participants will get information overload. Keep data to bite sized chunks, avoid jargon, and cater to their--not your--expertise.
Emphasis - The main message is the whole point of your presentation, so emphasize it. Put key information on its own slide. Pause after saying a main point, or even precede it with, "This is important."
Participation - Getting your participants involved creates more investment on their part. Utilize Q&A often, or ask impromptu, "soft ball" questions. Use the Socratic Method to draw people out, and praise highly when it works.
Accomplishment - For people to be more open to ideas, they have to like the ideas. And the best way of getting them to like ideas is for them to be a part of their creation. With good participation, you're halfway there, but the web conference as a whole should be satisfying with something completed, decided on, or improved.
Confirmation - This is more than follow-up after the conference, it includes during as well. Q&A throughout is good to make sure you're on track. And it never hurts to get participants to repeat their assignments so you know they understand.
Try ICEPAC when you create your next presentation and let us know how it worked for you.
Ever since I was a little girl, I have been fascinated by the weather. When severe weather strikes, you can find me online tracking the storms and watching the coverage across the United States. I love to watch storms as they pop, fire, and start to hook around, causing that intimidating tornado warning. As long as the warning sirens around me aren't sounding, I am all over the coverage and the radars. Recent outbreaks of the severe weather have shown me something very interesting.
Storm chasers are using their mobile devices to broadcast their chase to the local weather stations. If you like watching the weather you've probably stopped over at severestudios.com or chasertv.com. These are chasers who have live streaming video from their cars of the storms they are chasing. Not all storm spotters are equipped with these kinds of devices and for a meteorologist, who is broadcasting live in studio, the storm spotter is essential to knowing where the worst of the weather is located.
With mobile video conferencing becoming more widely available on devices, chasers without a partnership with a streaming website can call their local weatherman and show them what they see, as well as telling them where they are. One of the hardest things about storms is that they are unpredictable and while the National Weather Service and local meteorologists do the best they can, it's an imperfect system. Having chasers in the field gives you an ability that wasn't there for prediction ten years ago: Knowing exactly where a tornado is on the ground.
Radar signatures are very helpful but there is no sure fire way to say that a storm will put a tornado down at a specific location. Unfortunately, confirmation of tornados to broadcasters only comes in the form of damage reports from emergency management, and for those reporting the damage, the information is simply too late. Imagine the ability to have spotters everywhere with mobile devices, streaming as they watch the clouds roll through. Meteorologists could then see as funnel clouds form, drop to the ground, and kick up debris.
Imagine the warning you could give if you could say there was a tornado on the ground on a particular street or intersection. As someone who lives in an area that is prone to tornado touchdowns, I have to say that the use of this technology could give greater piece of mind to the public, as well as giving meteorologists a better idea of how tornados form, and what makes for great conditions for tornados.
How do you think video conferencing on mobile devices will change the way storms are predicted?

Do I have to back up or wipe if I'm going from rc1 to rc2 or just download
Do I have to back up or wipe if I'm going from rc1 to rc2 or just download
You should always make a back-up before you install anything through recovery (just in case) and a good wipe couldn't hurt anything
why use rc2 rc3 is out???and if your coming from a cyanogen rom to just a updated cyanogen rom no need to update.............
Thanks tparker76. Is rc3 good. I like rc1 alot
I didn't try any of them yet, however I hear that RC3 has some really nice extra features. I will get curious (and bored) someday and try it!
The Mooooooon!
I flashed it after your reply and it's awesome. Its the first one I've seen to allow you to equalize the speaker and ear for quality.
I heard they were implementing that DSP equalizer into the ROM, I have installed on my Droid too, we have surely come a long way since the release of the Droid last year

Jiho Choi
Jiho Choi and his spouse travelled to Shawnee from Venezuela where he has begun a campus ministry and is starting a college. His interest is in cultural ministry – music and art , which he taught in Korea before he began his mission work. Choi was the worship leader for the Global Baptist Church in Seoul, Korea – a church of over 30,000 members and probably the largest Baptist church in the world. His father was one of the pioneers of Baptist work in Korea as a church planter and pastor. Choi has expressed how appreciative he is of the scholarship provided by Central, as it would have been very difficult for him to pursue this degree otherwise. His mission work is not subsidized by his former congregation, nor denomination, so he has to raise the support for his ministry.

John Portman: A Life of BuildingSunday | 9 p.m.
A documentary about the work of architect John Portman, whose buildings have redefined the cityscapes of 60 cities around the world. Included: remarks from Portman and his children; former Atlanta mayor Andrew Young; architecture critic Paul Goldberg; and Harvard architecture professors Mack Scogin and Michael Hays.
NatureMy Bionic Pet | Tuesday, 7 p.m.
The animals of the world may increasingly need our help with big issues like preserving habitat or species conservation. But sometimes individual animals need our help as well. Left disabled without fins, flippers, beaks or tails because of disease, accidents or even human cruelty, these unfortunate creatures need what amounts to a miracle if they are to survive.
Amazing prosthetics made possible by the latest engineering and technology can provide just what they need, and scientists are finding that innovations created in the process are benefitting both animals and humans. Meet these inspiring animals and the remarkable individuals whose work has helped them live their lives again.
NOVA: Inside Animal MindsBird Genius | Tuesday, 8 p.m.
Today, researchers are discovering that some creatures have mastered skills purportedly restricted to humans. Many are bird brains. Meet a cockatoo with a talent for picking locks; a wild crow on a mission to solve an eight-step puzzle; and a tame raven who can solve a puzzle box so quickly that his performance has to be captured with high-speed photography. Are these skills really evidence of high intelligence or just parlor tricks, the result of training and instinct? To find out, NOVA tests the limits of some of the planet's brainiest animals, searching for the secrets of a problem-solving mind.
Model T's to WarAmerican Ambulances on the Western Front, 1914-1918 | Thursday, 9 p.m.
Between 1914 and 1917 — prior to the United States' entry into World War I — more than 3,000 American volunteers, paying their own passage, set sail for France to aid the war effort. MODEL T's TO WAR focuses on the valiant work of the American Field Service, ambulance sections assigned to help the French Army in its fight against German forces. These young men drove Ford-built Model T's to the frontlines and saw their greatest glory in the battle of Verdun in 1916, when Field Service ambulances transported more than 250,000 wounded.
Although American readers regularly followed the adventures of these brave ambulanciers through numerous accounts published in local and national newspapers of the era, few today know about their heroic deeds. MODEL T's TO WAR seeks to shed light on this forgotten story. The film takes viewers on an archaeological journey of discovery — from French battlefield sites still littered with World War I artifacts to recently discovered silent-film footage and hundreds of previously unpublished war-time photographs.
