I'll never forget the first day our oldest daughter went to Bible class. She had on a pink and blue plaid dress with a matching bonnet, pink socks and little patent leather shoes. In her tiny hand she clutched a pink New Testament with her name engraved on the front in gold letters. Only 17 months old and she didn't even cry when she went to class! She went eagerly every Sunday and Wednesday. In a few short weeks she could say the first five books of the Old Testament, knew who created the trees, flowers, etc., the names of the first man and woman, and had a large repertoire of songs. We were so proud of her! This is the way we were raised. This is the way good Christians are expected to raise their children.
As the next few years went by, our second child began Bible classes. They always looked so cute coming out of those classes with the other children. People would smile and nod their heads approvingly as they came by, all dressed up in ruffles, tights, (and of course, patent leather shoes!), their hands full of papers they had colored and pasted. We always worked with them at home on their memory verses and other memory work. We questioned them about the Bible stories they had learned that week to see if they were grasping their lessons. Eventually, though, the little papers they were bringing home and the concepts they were learning became a source of great concern for us.
· There was the song they loved to sing as their class was about to enter the auditorium that began: "Tiptoe, tiptoe in God's house..." Pretty soon we realized they thought God lived at the church building. In combination with lessons about the tabernacle and the temple were God did teach that he "lived", you can see how they got that idea. In these lessons, the tabernacle and the temple were always equated with our modern-day church buildings!
· They brought home a paper they had colored with the heading "We Worship God." In this picture, they were to cut out a drawing of a little girl or boy and paste it into a wooden pew. Surrounding their own figure in the pew were other boys, girls, men and women dressed in fine clothing, facing a pulpit behind which a man was preaching.
· Another paper they colored . . was entitled "We Go to Worship." There was a drawing of a man and a little boy in a suite and tie and a woman and a little girl with dresses and hats on walking up a drive toward a church building. Features of the building included stained glass windows and a steeple.
· They returned from class with another paper that was headed "Jesus' Friends Behave in Church." The picture was of a little girl holding a Bible and sitting in a pew. She was wearing proper attire (blouse, skirt, patent leather shoes) and gazing ahead. The real puzzler on this paper was the scripture references under the heading: Heb. 10:25; Mt. 21:15-16; Lk. 7:12; Ti. 2:7. Fortunately, my children were too young to look these up or they would have been as confused as I was!
· Yet another coloring paper they brought home showed a man and a little boy, both in suits and ties, sitting next to a woman wearing a dress and Jackie Kennedy pillbox hat. They were in a wooden pew and next to them was a stained glass window. The little boy was placing money in a round collection plate as he passed it to the man. This one was entitled "Jesus' Friends Give." Scripture references given were Mk. 12:41-44; I Cor. 16:2; 2 Cor. 8:11.
· One day, the children excitedly dragged me back to their classroom to show me a "neat" thing they had been doing. They showed me a large box with one of the sides cut out that was a miniature replica of the interior of a church building. The main features were little pews facing a little pulpit. At the beginning of every class period, each child took a little figure that represented him or her and placed it in a pew of his or her choice. The little boys all took turns placing their figures behind the pulpit. Then they went ahead and did their lesson and related activities. Just before leaving the room at the end of class, they would all take their little figures out and put them away until the next time.
I finally began to notice the infrequency with which they studied Jesus. They were constantly studying either Old Testament stories or lessons about "the church" and all the things one does as a "member of the church." I couldn't complain about the Old Testament stories, but how could they be learning so little about their Savior, without whom there would be no church/ekklesia? One evening as I was reading to them at home and we came upon Jesus on the cross, they were spellbound! It turned out they had never learned in class that Jesus died on the cross. That was a sobering moment for me. That was when I finally learned my lesson from Bible class.
It seemed the "religion" we were giving our children had little to do with Jesus Christ and everything to do with wooden pews, stained glass windows, patent leather shoes, and a God who somehow lurked mysteriously in a particular building. I began to see that at very young ages, our children were being indoctrinated with concepts the adults in the congregation claimed not to believe!
In our adult classes, people gave lip service to the fact that "worship" was not just confined to a building or to four hours a week. Our "giving", they said, was not confined to just throwing money into a plate to go into "the treasury'", yet that is what we were effectively telling our children. The building itself is not sacred, they said. We would not dream of calling it a sanctuary or anything like that but we allowed our children to think that it was God's house! These very things were being taught to our little ones in adjacent rooms. At best, we were raising a bunch of faithful little church members who, like robots, would believe in performing certain acts of worship in a certain way, in certain clothes, at a certain place and time. At worst, we were raising people to whom Jesus Christ was a virtual stranger, who would one day rebel against our inconsistencies or apathetically slip away from us and the Lord.
As I reflected back on the many things they were learning that concerned us, I got angry with the congregation, the system, the teachers, the "deacon" who was in charge of the classes - everyone. Eventually, however, my self-righteous indignation turned back where it belonged. Who did the Lord entrust with these tiny lives? Whose responsibility was it to "train them up in the way that they should go?" My husband and I were as conscientious and sincere as we could be but we had blindly walked into a dangerous trap. Instead of seeing classes for what I am sure they were originally intended to be, a nice supplement to what they were learning from their parents, we had unconsciously begun to think of our own training at home as supplementary to their classes. We, like many parents, had relinquished almost all responsibility for our children's spiritual growth to a handful of well-meaning teachers who were perpetuating the church institution.
It happens that in our personal circumstances, our children no longer attend these kinds of classes; we no longer have that as a crutch to lean on. We have become more conscious of doing what the Lord instructed the Israelites concerning his commandments "... talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up." We certainly are not perfect in this but we are striving for it. We hope they are learning, as we are, that the Lord lives in our house, that all of our money is his, and that every act of obedience to him is worship.
It isn't that classes are sinful or that they can't be useful tools. Classes are nice and classrooms are nice, but no teacher can replace Mom and Dad, no crayon and paper activity can replace seeing and helping parents do good works, and no colorful bulletin board can replace the beauty of watching parents handle their daily affairs with a total dedication to and reliance on the Lord.
If you find that you spend a lot of time unteaching your children many of the things they learn in their classes, please give serious consideration to this matter. Our children will someday turn into something we don't even recognize if we don't put a stop to these erroneous concepts that are being funneled into them and begin being responsible stewards of the most valuable things the Lord has entrusted to us. (Editor's Note: Gregoria, a wonderful young woman and dedicated Christian, can be addressed in care of The Examiner. All mail will be forwarded to her. She will welcome your letter and answer it. Weigh well what she has presented.)

Poetry Afterword
Interstates, Interchanges: Telling Souths
But you were not listening, because you knew it already, had learned, absorbed it already without the medium of speech somehow from having been born and living beside it, with it, as children will and do: so that what you father was saying did not tell you anything so much as it struck, word by word, the resonant strings of remembering?.
So is described Quentin Compson's experience of hearing (and re-hearing and ...) the story of the Sutpen family in Absalom, Absalom! The words come from Quentin's college roommate Shreve McCannon and from Quentin's father, whom Shreve ventriloquizes, and, in part, from Rosa Coldfield who first starts telling it to Quentin, whom Quentin's father voices, and ultimately from William Faulkner.
The story is community property, and the telling never establishes new ownership: it merely formalizes the holding of a common trust. And the novel works to make its readers believe, at least for the durance of the reading, that they, too, hold and have held the story of which the novel is merely a reminder.
The idea of the communal mind Faulkner develops here is haunting. It is also irresistible in part because the novel is so effective in developing the space within which we become parts of it, and in part because the idea (moving beyond the horizon of the text, perhaps having come from beyond it in the first place) defines the South for so many people even as it does for Shreve, Quentin's Canadian friend. People will say (I was "explained" recently after I gave a reading in Boise, Idaho) that Southernness abides somehow in an ineluctable connection to history, which all Southerners apparently have which suggests somehow that we all have the same history. It's a version of the solid South, the cultural idea that outlives the bygone political moment.
But however haunting and attractive the notion of such solidity is, however much we may maintain the conceptual validity of the category The South, much of our contemporary experience must complicate this beyond such simple deployments. Whether we eat at a McDonald's, exercising our membership in a decentralized and perpetually instantiated (and thereby re-centralized) American culture while a perfectly good local barbecue smokes down just across the two-lane, or at an Indian restaurant only blocks from the re-incinerated Margaret Mitchell house, there is something perpetually not-South about our Souths, something Southern still, but Southern in its own local way.
Which means that there's a great deal to say. That we are not so contiguous with the history and the place that we don't need telling. That writing is not simply reminder.
The poems in this issue of storySouth bear witness to this reality even as they bear witness to the stories that require them, even as they teach us those stories. These poems as in conversation with the South (and The South) even as they are in conversation with diaries, relatives (mothers, brothers, ancestors), themselves.
These poems model the conversation as they instantiate it. Though at times aggressively local Natasha Trethewey's "Storyville Diary" is focused squarely on a region of New Orleans, Jeffrey Franklin's "Where We Lay Down" within a screened porch these poems suggest the livelihood of true places, those locales Melville claimed were never to be found on any maps. These poems preserve those spaces where people become themselves, in conflict or exchange with, in continuance of, others.
And these poems preserve themselves by not becoming each other, by talking, however indirectly, over each other, even as they harmonize. So, they represent the great richness and diversity of our region, its ideas and ideologies, its music, its tongues, its width and breadth. We know the birthplace and birthtime of jazz, the farming world of Kentucky, the streets of modern Miami. We know many places and times in between.
These poems help us know. They tune us to the talk and invite our replies. They demand and satisfy the curiosity of Quentin Compson's fictional roommate Tell about the South. What's it like there. What do they do there. Why do they live there. Why do they live at all?
For this, they say. For this, at least.
Jake Adam York is the poetry editor of storySouth.

Well yesterday it was quite wet outside at the time I started my daily Nordic Walk and I decided to try out a new route. I had not planned on the route being 4.5 miles long but that's what it turns out to be. I thought I was gonna be able to cut back west a lot earlier and make a three mile walk but the tractor trails in the fields looked to muddy to walk on. I might try again later when the ground is dry.
Anyway, I still enjoyed the walk even though I got soaked during the last mile and a half. Now I have another route to choose from so I don't get bored doing the same route over and over again.
Update on my diet progress: I am hovering around 185 pounds right now and sometimes I wish I would lose weight faster but I am seeing a weekly improvement which is important. I am over half way to my goal of 170 pounds!
Sabine found a very good breakfast müsli (granola) from a company call Layenberger which is high protein and low carb. We are mixing it with our regular Aldi's müsli. This is a healthy way for use to gain he protein we need to insure our muscles are not depleted during the weight loss portion of our new lifestyle. You can check it out here: http://www.layenberger.com/Low-Carb/LowCarb-one-Protein-Muesli/LowCarb-one-Protein-Muesli_sorten.php .
So everything is going pretty good I think. We just keep plugging along and we will slowly make it to our goals.

In the communities fighting fear, my insecurities, constant failure, and facing the unknown I knew my only survival was in God, my Everlasting Savior. I sought Him as my life depended on it. Ironically we never feel this desperation until God takes away all that we are leaning on so that we finally fall into His Grace. Sadly I do not always acknowledge that my life and every breath depend on Him. How much to do I truly seek God in comfort? Not much, I imagine. I am not desperate. Circumstances should not dictate my desperation for His continual presence, but love. I want to be desperate for God out of my love for Him because without Him I am empty, void of life. I live and breathe because of Him. Whether we can feel it or not, we are totally dependent on His Grace in all things.
How many times have I taken the path of least resistance, taking the long way about so I wouldn't have to face battle, when I should have chosen the hill on which I would die with my back to the sea, with no retreat, no surrender, desperately seeking He who is my Joy, my Savior? In comfort this gets lost in the fog of our own sense of security that is as sure as the wind. Many generals in the wars of men have deliberately put their men in positions of no retreat because they knew in desperation they would fight with such ferocity to live. There was no other option.
I want God as my only option and leave myself with no escape. In all circumstances I want to be desperate for Him. I want to be in the constant state of mind that says, "if I don't seek Him, I will die." I will not be satisfied. I will live in desperation for Him. Not only when I am left with nothing, but even when all is available, I desire to choose Him for I know that in the end He is the only real option.
"Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing."
– John 15:4,5

Sean Yseult, formerly of New York based band, White Zombie will exhibit her solo art show in Los Angeles. SOIRÉE D'EVOLUTION, in which she presents a series of tableaux vivants documenting the soiree of a historically inspired secret society set in a lavish Garden District mansion of New Orleans, circa 1873. Each four by six foot print exhibits an intimate knowledge of New Orleans' history and flirtations with the romantic occult. Though inspired by the grisly depictions of the 17th century Dutch Masters and the high society culture of 19th century New Orleans, SOIRÉE D'EVOLUTION is firmly rooted in the present through its use of macabre humor and vibrant colors. Each print is a storyboard for a narrative of murder, mayhem, and excess in which The Omniscient Oracles of the Occult revel in the decay and decadence of celebration for the Greek philosopher and Deteriorationist, Hesiod.
WHEN: Friday, March 18th 2016 8PM
ABOUT: Sean Yseult is best known as the bass player from the multi-platinum, band White Zombie. Sean spent her formative years studying piano, violin, and later ballet at the North Carolina School of the Arts. Her senior year of high school, she switched majors to visual arts. Her photography work lead to a scholarship at Parsons School of Design NYC, where she earned a BFA in photography and graphic design. While at Parsons she co-founded the band White Zombie. After eleven years of recording and touring, the band was headlining arenas with two multi-platinum records, two grammy nominations, and had become a household name. Upon White Zombie's breakup, she moved to New Orleans in 1996 and returned to her original love of photography and design. She soon met her future husband Chris Lee, and in 2002 they founded the infamous Saint Bar and Lounge. Sean began showing photography in galleries in 2002, and in 2006 started Yseult Designs, with her scarves and accessories represented in Barneys and Liberty of London. In 2010 she released an autobiographical photo-book "I'm In The Band"(Soft Skull Press), now in it's third edition. Her first solo photography show debuted in 2012 at the Scott Edwards Gallery.

Scribunto is a MediaWiki extension for embedding Lua code in wiki pages. Lua is used for programming constructs (conditional logic; loops) that were previously attempted by Templates.
For more information on Scribunto, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto
For the source code, see https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki/extensions/Scribunto.git;a=summary
The Wikimedia Foundation began rolling out Scribunto/Lua to its sites on 2013-02-15 and finished on 2013-03-13 (http://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/03/14/what-lua-scripting-means-wikimedia-open-source/ . Data dumps after 2013-02-15 will probably have {{#invoke}} in their wikitext, which requires a lua processor.
Beginning with v0.3.2, XOWA included preliminary support for Scribunto. As of v1.3.1, the functionality level is approximately 95%+.
XOWA provides two engines for processing Lua statements:
- lua: the standard lua binary that is distributed with Scribunto. For MediaWiki developers, it is the LuaStandalone approach.
- standard: lua is the official reference standard
- performance: lua is written in C which is highly performant. However...
- performance: lua needs every message to be serialized when communicating back and forth between the binary and Java (the same behavior as LuaStandalone). This can result in performance issues.
- limited platform support: lua needs a binary compiled specifically for its OS. Although the major OSs are provided, some other OSs will require additional steps: See openSUSE 11.0 and Binaries below.
- permission setup: lua needs to be granted execute permissions on Linux and Mac OS X. Although XOWA does this automatically, there may be complications. See Permissions below.
- luaj: an open-source Java implementation of lua.
- universal platform support: luaj is written in Java and will automatically run on any platform that XOWA runs on
- consistent behavior: luaj will run the same on all platforms. In contrast, lua will run differently on Windows versus Linux / Mac OS X (see os.time and mktime)
- easier customization: luaj can be easily customized. In contrast, lua requires experience with C, and recompiling the source for each platform
- performance: luaj runs in the same memory space as XOWA, and doesn't require message serializations for every call. In addition, the lua binary may not perform consistently on every OS. For some OSs, this makes a considerable difference. For example, it is reported that luaj runs dramatically faster than lua on Windows Vista (seconds versus minutes). However...
- performance: luaj is written in Java which is not as performant as C
Luaj is the official Lua processor for XOWA.
XOWA packages the same Lua binaries (v5.1) that come with Scribunto. Note the following:
- The Windows, Linux, Linux 64, Mac OS X and Mac OS X 64 binaries have all been tested.
- The Linux binaries may not work on older distributions. For example, the Linux 64 binary does not work on openSUSE 11.0. In these cases, you will need to get a lua binary for your distribution, or compile it manually.
- XOWA/Lua has been tested on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. Note that the Windows 32-bit Lua binary is included, not the 64-bit one.
Linux / Mac OS X users will need to grant Execute permission to the Lua binary. Note that XOWA tries to do this automatically. If it fails, you will need to handle it manually by doing any one of the following (note you will need to replace <OS> with your system):
- Run the setup shell script
sh /xowa/setup_<OS>.sh script
- Manually setup lua
mv -f /xowa/bin/<OS>/lua/lua_install /xowa/bin/<OS>/lua/lua
chmod 774 /xowa/bin/<OS>/lua/lua
- Use a pre-existing lua
- Change the "Lua path" binary to one on your machine (which presumably has the correct permissions) (EX: /usr/bin/lua)
XOWA packages a modified version of the luaj-jse-3.0 jar. Note that 3.0 was selected as it is the latest code branch and it fixes errors in 2.0.3.
Several changes were made to the default 3.0 version to accomodate issues. These changes are itemized at /xowa/bin/any/java/luaj/readme.txt as well as App/Xtn/Mediawiki/Scribunto/Luaj. The modified source is available at https://github.com/gnosygnu/luaj_xowa
Additional files are also at
Scribunto files
XOWA used the following files from Scribunto:
- The main Lua libraries: mw_main.lua, MWServer.lua
source: /mediawiki-1.21.11/extensions/Scribunto/engines/LuaStandalone/
target: /xowa/bin/any/php/mediawiki/extensions/Scribunto/engines/LuaStandalone/
- The lualib directory hive
source: /mediawiki-1.21.11/extensions/Scribunto/engines/LuaCommon/lualib/
target: /xowa/bin/any/php/mediawiki/extensions/Scribunto/engines/LuaCommon/lualib/
- The Lua binary for the appropriate OS
source: /mediawiki-1.21.11/extensions/Scribunto/engines/LuaStandalone/binaries/<OS>/
target: /xowa/bin/<OS>/lua
XOWA modifies many of the lua files in order to cache library data across multiple page loads (Scribunto reloads the libraries for every page)

Yesterday, I was speaking with the students of my US History class about early to mid-19th Century economic and territorial expansion in the US. Energizing, as well as resulting from, this expansion were inventions and innovations that aimed to change they way things use to be done. Among the changes discussed were the railroads and the standardization of time across the continent.
I think this episode, from one of my favorite podcasts, can add context and depth in a way that I could never do in the 35 instructional minutes I have.
On The Clock: A (Brief) History Of Time
In 1883, a coalition of railroad officials carved the continental U.S. into five time zones, introducing Americans to the idea of "standard time." Twenty five years later, the revolutionary idea was codified into law, with the 1918 Standard Time Act.
In this episode, we'll look at the changing ways Americans have experienced the 24-hour day — from pre-industrial times right on up through today's era of time-shifted media. We'll explore the impact of those powerful Gilded Age railroads, and look the role of economic forces in shaping America's relationship with the clock. We'll also explore how people have experienced the rhythm of night and day — and why the advent of electric lighting changed that rhythm forever. Finally, is unlimited time always a good thing? We take a loving look at basketball's shot clock.

Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa by architect Thomas Heatherwick
"Housed in what was once Cape Town's tallest building is the newly unveiled Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA), created by London-based architect Thomas Heatherwick. The institution's 80 gallery spaces were converted from 42 historic grain silos, storage units which were once used to hold and grade maize from all over South Africa"
"Heatherwick Studio transformed the tightly packed tubes into open areas of contemplation, carving out various oblong shapes to make room for large social spaces and lots of light from overhead windows. Heatherwick wished to clear out large spaces for the galleries, however he was also careful about not eliminating the tubular structure of the building completely."

Brighton & Hove Albion winger Anthony Knockaert dedicated his first-ever Premier League goal to his late father, following a 1-1 draw with Everton on Sunday.
The Frenchman fired Albion in front late on with a close-range finish from inside the box, and reflected on a poignant moment in his career.
He said, "It was special. It was my first Premier League goal and obviously I thought about my dad, because I know he would have loved to have seen that.
"It was really emotional. Straight away I thought about him and this goal was for him.
"I wish I could have brought three points to my team today, but it wasn't to be. We take a point against a tough team, so it's still a good point."
Knockaert explained how Albion had to bide their time to break through a stubborn Toffees defence, and expressed his frustration at conceding an equaliser late on through Wayne Rooney's penalty.
"I'm disappointed, because we will not always have such a good opportunity to take three points. We gave them the goal and should've done better at the end.
"We had to be patient because they're a top side, and I think we did brilliantly until the end when we conceded the penalty.
"We are a tough team to beat at home - we showed that again on Sunday. It's just the end of the game that we are disappointed about. We have another tough test against West Ham next week."
The Seagulls could have doubled their through Izzy Brown's strike before Rooney dispatched his spot-kick, but Knockaert put the result into perspective and reflected on a solid start to the campaign.
"If you miss chances, you can get punished straight away. We will learn from that, but if you look at our start to the season, it's not been bad, we've played some really good teams.
"My goal could've brought three points to the team, but obviously we conceded a poor one at the end. But it's still a good point to take against a strong Everton team.
"We've managed to get eight points from eight games, so it's a good start and we have to keep on going. We've showed our character and now it's up to us to keep going."

I recently read an article about the survival of brick-and-mortar malls within the current internet-shopping age. Although it is true that internet shopping has seen tremendous growth over recent years, there is still one aspect of the traditional shopping experience that technology cannot replace: personal connection.
Rather than trying to beat the world wide web on prices, shopping malls offer customer relations, a one-stop social atmosphere with a retail/restaurant mix, and entertaining events. Take Edgebrook Shops—our local outdoor mall that in addition to offering a unique blend of locally-owned shops, restaurants, and service businesses, holds multiple events annually— for example.
Rather than being simply a mall, Edgebrook is a destination. Come to buy goods, plus stop at the coffee shop to catch up with your friend. Perhaps, spot the perfect item you were looking for in the store window as you walk by en route to Edgebrook's weekly farmers market. Grab a bite to eat with friends at one of Edgebrook's restaurants and stay for the free outdoor concert.
In today's market, the local mall is reinvented. No longer the only means for shoppers to buy what they desire, it is now positioned as the neighborhood meeting place. The place to talk with your neighbors, purchase local goods, and come to be entertained.

They resemble popular bedtime stories and fairy tales in many respects, for instance, virtue is usually rewarded and wickedness punished. Yet, notable differences can be observed. We meet heroes and heroines whose everyday life mingles with magic and they can perform magic themselves. The stories are full of magical metaphors which make the reader think about such problems as: love, lack of empathy, pursuing dreams, ambitions and gaining fame. While reading it, you will find yourself in a world of amazing adventures, you will take part in a life lesson hidden under a magical veil.

Wish I had a digital (or even non-poster sized) copy of a picture I took years ago. Not Nunavut but Thompson Manitoba. North of town on the Highway there were two huge signs that said "Warning Winter Survival Equipment Recommended". Myself and another member went out in February with shorts, Hawaiian shirts and faux Tequila Sunrises, put up a beach umbrella and lawn chairs and took our picture in the snow under the sign. Ah memories.

HAHA I know it's terrible! It's one of those old lady suits with pointy boob cups! I don't normally wear it, I think I got it from my grandmother.
That picture would have been perfect? Do you have a hard copy you could scan? You will just have to re-created the scene! :)
I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Nothing spoils a dinner party or a morningrush like a clogged toilet. It's not exactly a problem you can put on the back burner!
Enter DenaliTM Power Flush toilets by Mansfield.
Built to exacting standards in the United States of America, owning a Power Flush toilet truly means fewer clogs.
Single-Flush Confidence
Engineered to exceed industry efficiency standards by 150%, Denali is top of the line when it comes to flushing power.
Superior performance means the Denali can move 1,200 grams of waste with just 1.6 gallons of water. A sixty-foot drain-line carry works to further prevent blockages once waste has left the commode.
How Does It Work?
According to Adriana Miller, product manager for Mansfield Plumbing, additional force begins by moving the water higher up in the tank.
As the water transfers through a 3" flush valve, it reaches peak velocity earlier than other toilets. Additional dual side jets strengthen the removal process for single-flush reliability.
Reduce Maintenance Bills
The benefits of owning a true one-flush toilet extend well beyond water savings and nasty discomfort.
Fewer clogs translates to fewer calls to the plumber. Over the long haul, fewer service calls will easily cover the cost of upgrading.
Contemporary Design
Offering smooth lines and feel, Denali Power Flush toilets offer an ideal combination of form and function at an affordable price.
Aesthetics are versatile enough to match bathrooms of any style, from traditional to modern.
Additional Benefits
Denali toilets are SmartHeightTM ADA-compliant, feature a comfortable elongated front and a bright, smooth PuraCleanTM glaze. The finish resists bacteria and is easier to clean than competitors. The tank features a pilot operated anti-siphon fill valve.
Included with the installation kit, a unique two-bolt tank-to-bowl SmartFastenTM system creates a leak-free connection through accurate alignment.
Mansfield Plumbing offers a limited lifetime warranty on their Denali line. Mansfield has been a producer of top-quality, high-design, performance plumbing fixtures and fittings for more than 80 years.

JUPITER-NEPTUNE TRIPLE CONJUNCTION -------------------------------- John Pazmino NYSkies Astronomy Inc www.nyskies.org email@example.com 2009 January 2
Introduction ---------- The 2008 December 4 NYSkies Seminar discussed various conjunctions among planets, using the Moon-Jupiter-Venus convention as a starting point. One kind of conjunction I noted was a 'triple conjunction' when two planets, or a planet and star, conjunct three times within a few weeks or months. I recalled the triple conjunctions of Mars-Jupiter and Mars-Saturn in 1980-1981. I animated with my hands the movement of Mars relative to Jupiter or Saturn, then let the dialog move on to other aspects of planetary conjunctions. Discussion among NYSkiers since then pointed out the rarity of triple conjunctions and the chance to see one in 2009. This is the triple conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune in May, July, December 2009.
International Year of Astronomy ----------------------------- 2009 is International Year of Astronomy, promoted by IAU and UNESCO. During this year astronomers should show and explain certain concepts to the public, such as the rings of Saturn and the eclipse of epsilon Aurigae. There is an other, not well noted in IYA litterature, the triple conjunction of Jupiter with Neptune. This occurs in May, July, and December 2009 and should be an excellent chance to show this remote planet to the public. The first meet of Jupiter and Neptune occurs in the predawn sky, not convenient for most astronomers and hardly welcome for the lay person. The other two take place in evening thru night, one in the summer and one in the winter for seasonal variety. Neptune is the second of the telescopic planets and the first to be predicted based on Newton theory of gravity. Hence, showing and discussing Neptune can be a worthwhile addition to an IYA program. His proximity to Jupiter at and rear the conjunctions makes him easy to find. Should weather smother Neptune, Jupiter is usually still appreciable thru thin cloud.
Neptune ----- Any dialog about Neptune is going to drift into a debate about which planet in sequence he is, the last of eight or the eighth of nine. That is, is Pluto a planet or not? Pluto was deplanetized in 2006 by the IAU by a process still very much protested and substantially ignored among astronomers. Not with standing the prospect that there are other orbs in the outer solar system that may equal or excede Pluto in size or importance, there seems to be no valid cause to even bother with the Pluto deplanetization effort. As far as most astronomers care, Pluto is a planet and there can be new ones admitted to planet status in the future. Neptune is the eighth planet of the present nine in the solar system. If you got a large scope, more than 200mm aperture, you may show Pluto as an added treat during a summer starviewing session for the public. Pluto in July is in Sagittarius about 2-1/2 degree west of M24 open cluster. He is of magnitude 14. This part of the sky is in the Milky Way with hundreds of other 14th magnitude stars near Pluto! You need an accurate deep-magnitude chart to hunt up Pluto.
Triple conjunctions ----------------- A triple conjunction can take place only during the retrograde loop of a planet. An ecliptic longitude in the zone spanned by the retrograde loop is crossed three times. The first instance is when the planet is in prograde, eastward, direct motion before entering the loop. The second instance is when the planet is in westward, retrograde, motion within the loop. The third and last instance is when the planet is again in prograde motion after leaving the loop. Triple conjunctions are easiest to calculate against a star, whose longitude is fixed. Calculating a triple conjunction against an other planet is trickier because both planets are in their own loops. However, any good planetarium program can uncover the conjunctions by stepping thru days while watching the screen. A few can directly find conjunction thru a special dialog box. The dates turned up can be set in the planetarium for a visual check. It happens that Neptune, being so remote from Earth, has a small parallax effect and a small retrograde loop. As a first approximation you can treat neptune like a fixed star, with his location for mid year, and find when Jupiter crosses that longitude. You then swim around that date in the planetarium to hunt down the exact conjunction. Celestial almanacs list the planet conjunctions but few point out the triple character of the Jupiter-Neptune apparition. If you don't peruse the entire year and catch the three instances you may miss the show on one or an other date.
Longitude ------- Just about always an aspect of planets is computed relative to their ecliptic longitudes, not right ascension. You can use the latter method and get slightly different dates and separations. Both are perfectly valid methods but the longitude one is so prevalently intended that you may safely assume so unless purposely stated. Be aware that once in a while the assumption may prove wrong. The RASC Observer's Handbook, for example, uses right ascension for its planet-planet and planet-star computations. This is explained on page 20 of the 2009 edition. However, aspects of the planets relative to the Sun are based on longitude, not right ascension. The use of longitude rather than right ascension comes from the ease of working with longitude for planetary motions. Most algorithms are written for longitudes. It also makes better sense when banking planet locations and motion against the ecliptic. The conjunction occurs when the planets are abeam of each other, lined up orthogonally against the ecliptic. This article uses longitudes. The hour of geometric conjunction can differ slightly from other longitude-based sources because of the varying precision of algorithms used. These differences do not upset the value of the information presented here.
General situation --------------- Neptune during 2009 in is northeast Capricornus about 1/2 degree south of the ecliptic. The only considerable star nearby is mu Capricorni within a degree or so of each conjunction. For the instance on July 2009 mu is quite halfway between the planets, aiding in locating Neptune relative to Jupiter. The apparition evolves slowly, allowing substantially equivalent views of the conjunctions a couple days on either side of geometric conjunction. Altho Neptune is of 8th magnitude and can be lost in a sea of similarly dim stars, this part of the zodiac is star-poor. A detail chart of northeast Capricnrnus showing 9th magnitude stars will make Neptune obvious in the telescope field. Under 150 power the planet shows a tiny disc, like that of a Jupiter moon (close by for comparison). He may have a cyan or aqua tint, but not for sure. Color in faint celestial targets severely depends on the observer's vision. Only very large scopes will show Neptune's larger moon Triton. A detail finder chart done up for the day of observation is needed. There are no nearby deepsky objects. NGC7293 globular nebula is about 11 degrees southeast of Jupiter and M2 globular cluster is about 13 degrees north-northwest.
2009 May 27 --------- The geometric conjunction is on May 27 16h EDST. The closest visible approach is in the predawn hours of May 27. Neptune is 1/2 degree north of Jupiter. Here's the timetable of eventd for New York: --------------------- 2009 MAY 27, NEW YORK ---------------------- EDST | alt-az | event ------+--------+------ 00:00 | 14 98 | May 26->May 27 01:16 | 0 107 | Jupiter rises 04:16 | 27 141 | nautical dawn 04:56 | 32 152 | civil dawn 05:29 | 34 162 | sunrise 16:00 |-47 299 | geometric conjunction -------------------------------------- The altitude-azimuth are for Jupiter here and in the other timetables. This instance, the first of the triple conjunctions, is badly placed on the clock for most folk. Unless you're watching the May Aquarid meteor shower, there is little incentive to stage a Neptune watch.
2009 July 10 ---------- The geometric conjunction is on 2009 July 10 05h EDST. The planets are in the sky at nightfall being that both Jupiter and Neptune hit their oppositions in August. The closest approach is during the night of July 10-11. Neptune is 1/2 degree north of Jupiter. Here's the New York timetable ------------------------ 2009 JULY 9-10, NEW YORK ------------------------ EDST | alt-az | event ------+--------+------ 22:23 | 0 108 | Jupiter rises 00:00 | 15 125 | July 9->July 10 03:32 | 36 180 | Jupiter transits 04:20 | 36 193 | nautical dawn 05:00 | 32 204 | civil dawn 05:00 | 32 204 | geometric conjunction 05:33 | 29 213 | sunrise ------------------------ During this conjunction mu Capricorni is quite halfway between the planets. Some specs for the star: ---------------------------- Flamsteed | 51 Capricorni BSC, HR | 8351 Smithsonian | 164713 Henry Draper | 207958 Tycho | 5801-1017 Pos Pro Mot | 239478 Bonner Durch | BD-14:6149 R Asc (2000) | 21h 53m 18s decl (2000) | -13d 33m 06s app magn | +5.1 spectrum | F1-III distance | 106 LY ---------------------- This instance is the most favorable one for the public. It occurs in evening to midnight hours and there is a bright star to guide the viewer toward Neptune. Summer weather in New York can be brutally hot, hazy, humid. The discomfort factor may be excessive for most viewers. However, clear nights do occur. If the haze veils Neptune, Jupiter is the fallback target.
2009 Dec 21 --------- The lineup is on 2009 December 21 04h EST. The closest approach is in evening of the 20th. Neptune is 1/2 degree north of Jupiter. Here is the timetable for New York: -------------------------- 2009 DECEMBER 20, NEW YORK -------------------------- EST | alt-az | event ------+--------+------ 16:31 | 34 193 | sunset 17:02 | 32 205 | civil dusk 17:37 | 29 211 | nautical dusk 20:56 | 00 251 | Jupiter sets 00:00 |-34 282 | Dec 20->Dec 21 04:00 |-45 294 | geometric conjunction -------------------------------------- This conjunction is the most pleasant on the clock, in dusk and evening. You may have to wait for nautical dusk before Neptune resolves out of twilight. On the other hand, winter weather in New York can be cold and windy.
Conclusion -------- In June, Neptune is a bit West of Jupiter, still close enough for a skilled telescopist to jump off from Jupiter to him. From August thru November, Neptune is too far east of Jupiter to find easily. You better wait until December before Jupiter can be a jumpoff point to hunt up Neptune. Neptune-Jupiter triple conjunction in 2009 is a good chance to inspect the farther planet. You are guided by Jupiter and, for the July event, mu Capricorni. The lay person can view and examine Neptune more easily, can on his own point to Jupiter to recall where Neptune is, and better appreciate IYA thru an activity about the two planets.

Zuckerman's ongoing portrait practice utilizes both photography and filmed interview formats to
examine human perspectives. With the support of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, he released WISDOM in
2008 as a book, a feature length documentary film, and a global traveling exhibition.
For this exhibition, Andrew will show a selection of works from his series 'A Message from the
Exterior,' an installation of photographic works from his continued investigation of the human
relationship to the natural world. Through a systematic and objective approach to live subjects,
presented in extreme resolution and clarity, his intention is to celebrate these subjects in a way that
makes them feel new and somehow undiscovered. This event is free.

Cricket's popularity is growing day by day. More and more countries are adopting this game and have started playing this at professional level. Global followership has seen remarkable upward trends. Still generations after generations, some teams has developed a choker tag to crumble before big matches in global events which is yet to be changed. There are three test playing nations who have been traditionally a force to reckon with but have always crumbled at big moments.
South Africa being the leader followed by England and New Zealand who has developed a nagging of failing at crunch situations in big matches in global events like ICC events. New Zealand was fortunate enough to get rid of this tag once by the legend of Chris Crains otherwise they have regularly faltered at big matches even though strength of their team is not less than any in the professional circle. England has more or less similar history as the country has played almost all ICC events, appeared in many finals but is yet to win one despite being very strong at times apart from the heroics of Paul Collingwood's team. But when choking is concerned, South Africans are undisputed numero uno. They are top ranked team in the ICC cricket ranking yet they played like a club team in crucial matches. Their cricketing history dates back to more than one hundred and twenty five years old yet their traditional mindset and history has not changed. Since their reinstated as a test playing nation in 1991, they have either innovated different methodology to loose of sometimes luck has been unfavorable but they have failed to change the fortune although they have been a threatening team for every playing arena. They have played four semifinals but yet to reach final in world cup. They have highest number of winning percentage but they are yet to progress to the final of any ICC events. They were favorites but were eliminated by one run. They were ranked number one and yet they failed. Whether it is ICC world cup or ICC Champions Trophy or ICC World Twenty20, they are yet to mark their presence felt. They seems to freeze in important ICC contests.
South Africa has been historically a very strong cricket playing nations and trend setters in many areas whether it is the great Jonty Rodes who redefined fielding in cricket or the mighty Fanie De Villiers who showed the world how to ball slower balls in limited over world cricket and choke a batsman to commit suicide on the field or the legendary and controversial Hansie Cronje who was simply undefeatable and was considered as the man with Midas Touch on the field in world cricket and many more but their record of failing to win major tournaments has maligned their greatness. In 1992 Cricket world cup, they were unfortunate to be given one ball to score twenty two runs although they were cruising to easy victory but sudden interruption due to rain and thanks to the introduction of Duckworth Lewis rain rule which is still a mystery to be solved. It was definitely not a choke but unfortunate of their part. In the 1996 World Cup quarter final match verses West Indies, coming to the match by winning significantly all group matches, they failed to reach the target, which looked so manageable even though the heroics of Brian Lara, by sudden batting collapse. Who can forget their match in 1999 World Cup verses Australia when needing just one run from four balls to seal a place in the final, Allan Donad was run out through horrific mix-up with Lance Klusener who till then played like possessed. In 2002 ICC Champions Trophy semi final match verses India, needing just 262 and at one stage they were comfortably placed at 192/1 collapsed to find themselves 10 runs short. In 2003 World Cup against Sri Lanka, they miscalculated the mysterious Duckworth Lewis calculation and passed the wrong information to their man on strike Mark Boucher which led to their exit due to rain interruption from the competition. In 2006 ICC Champions Trophy semi final verses West Indies they set a target of 259 runs which looked defendable but their technical blunder of going with all pace attack against Chris Gayle proved fatal. In 2007 World Cup semi final verses Australia, their batting collapse set a target of mere 149 for the mighty batting line up which was anyway never going to pose any threat to them. In 2011 World Cup quarter final verses New Zealand, they innovated a better way of batting collapse of eight wickets for the loss of 64 runs from 108 for the loss of two wickets failing to reach a mere target of 222. In 2015 World cup semifinal match verses New Zealand, they set still target for their opponent but a mix-up and eventually the drop of catch by Farhaan Behardien and J P Duminy opened their exit from the tournament. When South Africa lost to India on Sunday i.e. 11th June 2017, they cemented their reputation for 'choking' in ICC tournaments. In what turned out to be a knockout match to reach semifinal, they were batting first and were going on nicely against India before a sudden mix-up between A B de Villiers and Faf du Plessis at the crease and thereby run out of the former led to a sudden batting collapse which looked so promising otherwise and finally folding at mere 191 runs in this Twenty20 era which proved to be a cakewalk for the mighty Indian batting line which boosted of centurions at number ten. A combination of failure and unfortunate circumstances forced them the choker tag in world cricket.

The top 4 defenses in the NFL last year? In order, Chicago, Baltimore, Jacksonville and Dallas. Three of them made the playoffs and one made the Super Bowl. Two years ago? In order, Tampa Bay, Chicago, Carolina and Pittsburgh. What stands out about that list? All four made the playoffs, two made the Championship games and one made the Super Bowl (and won).
If you think that's simplifying things too much, notice that the No. 1 offensive team in the NFL in 2004 and 2005 (Chiefs) didn't even make the playoffs those years. Last year's No. 1 offense (Saints) got smoked in the NFC Championship game by the Bears, only the team with the No. 1 defense. And the top passing team in 2005 (Cardinals) was 5-11 straight up and 6-10 against the spread. Yes, it's always a good time to examine the importance of team defense.
Teams that can't stop the opponent from moving the football or scoring are at a huge disadvantage. Even teams with offensive deficiencies can win the Super Bowl if their defenses are strong enough. The Patriots in 2001 and 2003 had very little running games, just like Tampa Bay during the 2002 season. And, of course, the 2000 Baltimore Ravens didn't have a great offense, yet rolled to a Super Bowl title with a monster defense.
You really can't have defensive deficiencies and do this. We are moving into October now and the top defenses are a very surprising list: Patriots, Steelers, Broncos, Chiefs, Bears, Colts, Jaguars, Rams, Ravens and Texans.
A good defense isn't helping the Chiefs much with that anemic offense. The Broncos haven't played well against the run and probably won't stay on the list long, as they were fortunate to open against anemic offenses (Buffalo, Oakland). The Rams won't last on that list either, but the Texans are a surprise and might be decent with all the high draft picks they're assembling on defense. If you want to look for teams coming off bad seasons that might be in for better years, how they upgraded the defense in the offseason is a good place to start.
The Chicago Bears stormed to the NFC title a year ago led by their No. 1 defense. This season they've been tough, but injuries are absolutely taking a huge toll. Talented safety Mike Brown was hurt in the opener (knee) and is out, and nose tackle Dusty Dvoracek is also out with a season-ending knee injury. Cornerback Nathan Vasher went down with groin injury and Tommie Harris hobbled out of the Dallas game with a sprained knee ligament. That's why the pass defense gave up 300 yards in a 34-10 home loss to Dallas.
Speaking of Dallas, the Cowboys are a team to keep an eye on if you like to play totals. New coach Wade Phillips has brought in an aggressive, attacking style, the same style he used last season as defensive coordinator of the Chargers. The Cowboys have used their last eight first-round draft picks on defensive players. In this decade, the Cowboys have drafted 32 defensive players and signed 12 in free agency.
While they have been fine up front, this secondary has been prone to breakdowns. Terence Newman suffered a tear in the plantar fascia of his right foot. The injury is serious because no player uses his feet more than a cornerback. Dallas is dead last in pass defense, while the offense is strong, a good mix if you like to play games over the total.
Going back a step further, here's a list of the Top 10 defenses in the 2004 NFL season: Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Washington, Denver, Tampa Bay, Baltimore, Jets, Miami, New England and Philadelphia. What stands out? Pittsburgh went 15-1, and 5 of those 10 teams made the playoffs, with the Patriots and Eagles squaring off in the Super Bowl. By contrast, only 4 of the bottom 14 teams defensively even made the playoffs, and had a postseason record of 2-4.
Also keep in mind that teams that can't stop the run are often better to bet against than a play on. Currently the top rushing defenses are Baltimore, Minnesota, Denver, KC, New England, Chicago, Indy, and Jacksonville. It's no secret that defenses will get a team into January, and those with poor defenses are often home watching.

Whether or not you are a road traffic warrior or a weekend grease monkey, Automotive Concepts will make your automotive dreams a actuality. Our unparallelled 30,000 square foot facility allows us to have greater than 18 of the areas high technicians and installers working concurrently to verify your car gets achieved shortly and with the eye is deserves. As pointed out above, a a lot greater share of Mexican automotive exports is international value-added (37% versus 15% of US automotive exports). It is also value highlighting that greater than half of this foreign value-added utilized in Mexican exports to the US originates in third nations (11.three out 20.9 US$ bn). This high share reflects the reliance of Mexican automotive sectors on a global manufacturing community (on this case of European and Asian automakers), which has been highlighted additionally by Timmer et al (2016).

Lectures in the mentioned fields are accompanied by seminars, studying courses, and challenge seminars. As well as, the individuals take modules like Insurance coverage Economics, Economics of Banking, Dynamics of Financial Markets.
As the variety of automobiles in use continues to rise, extra entry-degree service technicians will probably be wanted to do fundamental upkeep and repair, akin to changing brake pads and changing oil. The growing lifespan of late-model automobiles and light-weight trucks will further improve demand for qualified staff. Veterinarians are animal physicians who typically undertake eight-12 years of training (although accelerated paths may be accessible).
The software program scheme of this gadget is already ready. Alcoholmeter and smell sensors are the components of this machine. However the essential level is that a software program to realize these functions. As the scheme is already finished, the software needs to be written by your company. Thousands of internships are stuffed in America every year, many offered throughout the summer season months for quite a few weeks during Could to September. Many are unpaid, but Google's are excessive-paid.
As the media theorist Marshall McLuhan identified within the Nineteen Sixties, media are not just passive channels of knowledge. They supply the stuff of thought, however they also shape the process of thought. And what the Web seems to be doing is chipping away my capacity for concentration and contemplation. My thoughts now expects to take in information the way the Internet distributes it: in a swiftly transferring stream of particles. Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of phrases. Now I zip along the surface like a man on a Jet Ski.

There's a lot of excitement around Internet of Things (IoT) right now – and rightfully so. IoT technologies have advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years, and this momentum isn't showing any signs of slowing down. As we begin 2018, excitement and expectations are high throughout the industry as IoT's potential for transforming businesses and enhancing operations feels limitless. As such, it's no surprise that 73% of organizations plan to increase their IoT investment over the next year, according to a recent study.
Since it's easy to get caught up in the hype, we recently sat down with Bsquare Sr. Director of Products Dave McCarthy to discuss how he sees IoT progressing over the next 12 months. In addition to compiling a video summary of his 2018 IoT predictions, we wanted to share a full overview of what business leaders can expect to see as IoT continues to develop this year:
#1. IoT will become more accessible.
The evolution of IoT technology has eliminated the need for costly, extensive, highly technical solution deployments. More simplified plug-and-play IoT applications require fewer resources to implement, and are configurable to specific organizational needs. This approach will gain momentum in 2018 as businesses look to streamline deployments.
#2. Composite digital twins will gain popularity.
Digital twins are great IoT innovations, but few businesses are currently utilizing them to their full potential. Expect that to change this year, as understanding of the holistic insights composite digital twins can provide continues to grow. By advancing from a single asset view to a larger asset population, organizations unlock new opportunities to enhance operations.
#3. Edge computing will gain momentum.
Despite many well-established benefits, edge computing and embedded software are historically underutilized. This is going to change in 2018, as organizations seek to scale their IoT deployments. Many factors related to implementing IoT across large asset populations – such as real-time response rates and data transfer expenses – can limit cloud or data center effectiveness. Edge computing is key to overcoming these obstacles when expanding an IoT solution.
#4. Organizations will work to bridge the divide between IT and OT.
IT and OT have traditionally operated as siloed organizations. IT handled technologies that are critical for managing information, while OT focused on physical assets and software. However, as IoT implementations become more strategic, the internal stakeholders driving those initiatives will need to evolve as well – resulting in an expanded role for IT. Expect organizations to adapt by creating "Centers of Excellence" to unite IT and OT to produce more effective IoT deployments and enhanced ROI.
#5. IoT will extend beyond critical assets.
To this point, initial IoT deployments have focused on mission critical equipment and systems across most organizations. As those first waves of adoption begin to pay off, organizations will gain confidence and begin exploring other applications for IoT. This will prompt expanded deployments that include less critical assets to compound ROI.
#6. Data ownership and privacy will remain key issues.
The question of who owns what data, as well as how it can be used and secured, remains unanswered. With little precedent to go on, the conversation around these unexplored topics is still developing. It's important that companies consider the implications of data ownership and security, as well as effective ways to share it, within their ecosystem. Though we won't see this issue resolved in 2018, I am optimistic we'll see some encouraging progress in the discussion.
#7. Utilization of AR/VR with IoT will expand.
Pairing augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) with IoT carries a lot of potential in terms of managing business processes, predicting consumer behavior, and optimizing growth. From utilizing AR to better inform equipment operators, to simulating real-world conditions and responses with VR – innovations in how users can interact with IoT data will evolve this coming year.

My Vision for Age: 48 (in 10 years)
I am my healthiest in mind, body and spirit. I continue to learn and grow in all areas of my life. I am eager and happy to start each day. I radiate positive energy and enthusiasm for life.
I work for a year at the lululemon SSC Melbourne. Working hard and playing hard...Ironman Bussleton!
I share my life with a wonderful guy that enjoys a healthy & active lifestyle. We travel with our bikes 2x's per year. We are very happy, fulfilled and successful within our respective careers and aim to live life to the fullest. We adopt a dog. We live in a spacious condo with views of the ocean. We have a large deck and we enjoy having friends over for BBQ's. My mom comes to visit often and we spend Christmas's in Hawaii or Edmonton. We are fully supportive of each other's training & racing goals.
I compete in triathlons and incorporate many of these races into vacations.
I see my friends often. We hang out by training or racing together as well as by going to various sporting events, concerts and movies. I continue to attend my Book Club.
My career at lululemon continues to challenge me and I am an excellent resource to my co-workers from various departments. I am successful and have established myself as one of the key senior people within my team.
2-3 things I learned about myself:
While completing the interview questions I was humbled. I didn't realize how much I inspired others just by "doing my thing" (Ironmans)…including my discipline and focus, my attitude and energy. People appreciate my responsibility, dependability and reliability.
I was also surprised that at least 3 people have told me that I should write a book. However, my book would be very short. (Page 1 – Shut up, Page 2 – Do it). Several think I should be a mentor/coach. Something for me to explore.
It's very evident that I am living a life I love as people can really sense the joy that my training and racing brings to my life. I have to remember to be OK with asking for support or someone taking care of me sometimes! I am happiest when setting and achieving goals.
Good learnings are for me are to practice patience with others and remember to smell the roses!
In regards to my experience of doing the "Power of Knowing What You Want" I discovered that I am very clear on what I want for my health/personal goals but not yet clear on what I want for my career goals. I love my path so far at lululemon, however, I am not sure about what other roles 'speak' to me. I love my current job and the people I work with. My current role is very gratifying, fulfilling and challenging. When I try to imagine having ANYONE else's job at lulu that would really "do it" for me and fulfill me I cannot think of one – and that is not because it doesn't exist…I just don't know it yet. I am also uncertain in regards to really loving doing certain things that I am good at (i.e. – project management) – does anyone else feel this way about their work situation? With my career it feels like it's really in a great place right now. I know there is more for me career-wise and I know there are other things I would enjoy doing…just not sure what that looks like yet or what I want it to look like in 5-10 years. My work/life balance is critical to my happiness and success.
