I need to get my phone to connect at 2.4GHz instead of 5GHz, to setup a new devise. Is it as simple as logging onto the guest/secondary login of my router? Is the guest status always at 5GHz and the main internet connection at 5?
I more than understand your frustration. I am having a not so pleasant experience with the fiber optic internet and the airties extenders. I share your pain and continue to search for resolutions.
My advice is throw the AirTies away, they are junk.
I'm just about at that point Dominic1000. The app and diagnostic tools are less than useless and the people I get to chat with at tech support are less than helpful! I have NEVER been so aggravated in all my life than i have been over the last 2 months with AT&T as well as this NOT so lightning speed fiber optic internet that someone talked me into!! I'm extremely disgusted with the entire ordeal!!!
I truly appreciate your insight.

Four riders including a visitor and one pillion made another cold start from Prospect. Andre had come all the way up from Victor Harbor in ordinary weather...he made good use of the comfort features on the big Victory...heated seat and grips.
Mark took us up Greenhill Road which was less than pleasant...wet & cold. Then on through Summertown, Uraidla and Balhannah to Hahndorf. And through Echunga, Meadows and the popular Bull Creek Road (mostly dry) to Ashbourne where we were met by Paul & Carol plus two visiting Ulysses riders with a pillion and Steve by car.
We waded through the awesome breakfasts offered by the Greenman Inn...would be hard to leave here with any hunger left.
Nangkita Road took us to Mount Compass where a corner marshalling oopsie split the group for a little while. Once regrouped we followed Mark along Pages Flat Road and skirted Myponga to ride over the reservoir wall. Then down into Carrickalinga along Forktree Road with it's magnificent views.
Normanville, Lady Bay, Second Valley and Rapid Bay were soon behind as we pulled up in Delamere to fuel the bikes with smaller tanks.
Fortunately there was little wind along Range Road so despite a cold run it was very enjoyable. Our new Ulysses friends peeled off along here while we continued on down into Victor Harbor for end of ride at the Boulevard Café on the Lake. Great coffee and service as always here.
Thanks Mark for a lovely long day along some of our favourite roads...lucky for us the wind was low and the rain stayed away.
Good day, Fred

STRANDED in the SUMMER Of '79
The year was 1979. I was a freshman in high school and my best friend David had just purchased a 66 Mustang. It was a yellow 3-speed automatic V-8 beauty, which was a pretty big deal to a couple of 15 year olds yearning the freedom of the open road. One night David suggested we go camping out in the middle of nowhere. So after lying to our parents about where we'd be spending that night, we set out on our adventure.
Starting at dusk we drove out into the country till we couldn't see any city lights or any sign of civilization besides an old country road, overrun with grass and weeds from non-use. We camped out all night and had a grand old time roasting hot dogs and trying to freak each other out with scary stories. When morning came we loaded up the Mustang and started it up, or at least tried to but Alas! The battery didn't have enough juice to start the car because David had left the door ajar all night and the dome light drained the battery. All we could do was turn the motor over but it wouldn't fire up.
After waiting by the side of the road for two hours with not a single car coming by, we decided we would just have to walk. An hour and a half of walking later we came upon a lone farmhouse with nothing else as far as the eye could see. We knocked on the door, nobody home. What rotten luck, but wait...there was an old car sitting out back. Was it locked? No! Did it run? Well we didn't have the keys but when we turned on the headlights, they were on, but dim. It was decided that we should leave a note for the owner and "borrow" the battery out of the old car. After also "borrowing" a wheelbarrow to carry the car battery, we made our long journey back to the Mustang. Since this was Texas we half expected to get arrested or get a load of "salt-shot" in the buttocks from the farmer's shotgun for our deed, but either of those seemed preferable to the wrath of our parents when they found out we lied about where we were supposed to be the night before!
When we finally returned to the Mustang we used David's Jumper Cables to hook up the battery to "jump" the Mustang. We carefully hooked up the positive to the positive terminal and the negative to the negative, just like our fathers had taught us. Well, it wasn't enough. The old Mustang turned over and over a little better than before, teasing us like it was going to fire up, but it didn't. Frustrated, David decided we should just try replacing the battery. That didn't work either. The "borrowed" battery just barely didn't have enough juice. After that David threw up his hands and announced "we're screwed, we're stuck out here and our parents are going to kill us when they find us, there's nothing we can do!"
As we sat and pondered our doom my eyes wandered over to a flashlight we had used the night before. It was one of those cheap flashlights that we've all owned at one time or another, it took two D-sized batteries in a tube to make it work. Suddenly my mind flashed to something I had learned in Mr. Steelhammer's 8th grade shop class and I had an idea to get the old Mustang started!
When I shared the idea with David he told me I was crazy and that the only thing that it would accomplish was a fried electrical system or maybe a fire. I persisted though and we decided the risk was worth the possible reward and it worked!
We drove the "borrowed" wheelbarrow and battery back to the farmhouse, carefully placed them back, tore up the incriminating note and drove the heck out of Podunk Texas without being thrown in jail or having to marry the farmer's daughter.
What did we do to get that Mustang started? We had come up with a bunch of crazy ideas from trying to roll-start an automatic to going back and attempting to hotwire the farmer's car, but that's not how we did it. Can you figure out what we did to start the Mustang?
We jump started the Mustang using it's own battery in addition to the farmer's "borrowed" battery."
It's been a while since I learned this at school but I believe the proper term for the way we all normally jump start a car is by hooking the two batteries into a "parallel circuit." When I spied the cheap flashlight I thought about the way the batteries inside stack upon one another. Inside the flashlight the batteries don't connect to each other positive to positive, if you do that accidentally it doesn't work and you have to take the batteries out and make sure you stack them on top of each other so the top of one is connecting to the bottom of the other. Connecting in this way is called (I believe) a "series circuit" and increases the voltage and perhaps the amperage (I don't really know!).
PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS without consulting with someone who actually knows electronics, it's been almost 40 years since I did this!
So this is how I hooked it up:
- Disconnected the negative terminal on the battery installed in the car.
- Used one jumper cable to connect the car battery's negative to the 2nd battery's positive.
- Used the other jumper cable to connect the 2nd battery's negative to the negative cable that I had disconnected in step 1. This completed the circuit.
- Turned the key and it started right up!

Japan's Daikin set to acquire Goodman Global Group for $3.7 billion
Acquisition would make the Japanese-based manufacturer the world's biggest maker of heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems.
Business Operations

mergers and acquisitions
residential heating
TOKYO—Japan's Daikin Industries, Ltd., plans to buy Houston, Texas-based Goodman Global Group Inc., a purchase that will fortify its status as the world's biggest maker of residential heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems.
Daikin, based in western Japan's Osaka, said its board approved the $3.7 billion deal as part of its strategy for expanding in the US residential market.
Daikin wants to expand its manufacturing and sales overseas, especially in emerging markets. It said it would draw on support from a Japanese government initiative to help offset the impact of the strong Japanese yen on exports to help finance the deal.
Daikin is already the world's biggest HVAC maker, with over $15 billion in sales in 2011. Acquiring Goodman would put it even further ahead of the world's No. 2 maker, China's Zhuhai Gree Group, with sales of about $13.3 billion.
Goodman's president and CEO, David L. Swift, said the purchase would help Goodman to likewise expand its sales outside the U.S.
Daikin said it intends to keep Goodman independent, without merging it into its other businesses.
The two firms are complementary, given Daikin's strength in energy-efficient "ductless" heating and cooling systems and Goodman's dominant position in US residential HVAC systems.
Daikin, with over 44,000 employees, has said it aims to expand its global sales to $25.6 billion by 2015. Founded in 1924 to make aircraft radiator tubes, the company also makes hydraulic equipment, chemicals, shells and warheads. However, more than 85% of its sales are in air conditioning systems.

Of all the different marketing tactics at your disposal, this is by far the trickiest one to deploy.
What do I mean by that?
If you don't take the time to fully understand the mindset and motivation of who you want to listen, you've already lost.
Just because your morning commute is filled with a ton of great podcasts doesn't mean it's a great marketing idea for your agency.
I've been podcasting since 2006 in some form or fashion and love getting behind a microphone, but there are a few subtle, yet dramatically important factors to determine what a podcast will do for your agency.
Insurance Is Terrible for Podcasts
Here's why.
I would be willing to place a, I have a gambling problem, size bet that all the podcasts you listen to fit into one of two categories.
- Education
- Entertainment
First education:
You're looking to learn when you're in the car, at the gym or mowing the grass. That's great. But think about the topics that you're learning about. They too have something very important in common.
That is, they are probably all topics that you continuously need to stay educated on a daily, weekly or even monthly basis.
The easiest and most common example would be your business.
That's why you listen to podcasts like Agency Nation Radio, and Insurance in Your Words or Agents Influence. Because you want to keep your mind fresh as to what's possible for your agency.
Next entertainment:
This is pretty obvious, but you've probably found podcasts that entertain you in a much more specific way than your traditional morning talk show can.
Stuff like in-depth sports podcasts or even something as awesome as murder mystery.
These are great, but up the ante.
Let me explain.
If you were to start a podcast for your agency, it would fall into one of these two categories.
The first, education, is the most obvious.
Talk about insurance and how it protects people.
Alright, fine I didn't do the English language any favors and pitched a podcast that makes you want to physically harm your ears.
But, be honest, that's the first idea you had.
However, let me help you out and be the first to tell you that it's terrible.
No one wants or needs to be constantly educated about their insurance.
Hold on, we need to backup a little bit.
The Power of the Subscription
The true power of a podcast lies in your ability to have a direct line to someone's ear on a regular basis.
This is 99 percent of the time accomplished by someone subscribing to your show in their favorite podcast app like iTunes, Stitcher or Google Play (my favorite).
This allows you to build an intimate relationship (quote Ryan Hanley) over a ridiculous amount of time.
Over that time your listeners will know and remember things about you that you barely do yourself.
Sounds like a pretty cool experience, right?
Yeah, 100 percent right.
But that's really hard to do with insurance.
Let's jump back up where we left off.
Insurance Is Terrible for Podcasts (Continued)
Expecting someone to want to take that journey about their homeowners medical payments coverage is offensive on several levels.
People don't need to stay constantly informed (see educated) about their insurance in a way a podcast would demand.
It's too big of an ask for someone that is not all that interested in the first place.
The only mild exceptions to this is in the finance and the stock market world. Investing and money is something that changes by the minute and is something everyone is interested in.
However, when you cross that line you're competing with entire TV channels created for such discussion. Which, is actually a good sign, but also helps set the expectation.
What About an Entertaining Podcast?
Remember when I said these up the ante?
Here's the most dangerous part when you start to take a step or two away from insurance.
You've got to take just as many steps back.
Here's an example.
Let's say you want to start a podcast focused on your community. Maybe that means creating a show for business owners to discuss their advantages/disadvantages unique to your area and how everyone can help make it better.
Or you want to cover the ongoings of the town in a way the local media can't.
The success of this will also depend on the size of your town and the potential number of listeners you have.
If you successfully build an audience around one of those ideas, that will be the first thing they associate you with.
You're building authority in business and/or community development. Yeah, if you already have a strong brand in town, they might say, "oh yeah, you also own Intego Insurance."
With this approach you dramatically increase the risk of creating something that doesn't create business.
If you know the steps you have to take to get someone back to insurance, the better you'll be. Just don't expect them to know the way by themselves.
So You're Saying My Agency Shouldn't Start a Podcast?
Well… Kinda, maybe, I'm not really sure.
Let me put it to you this way, I've never started a podcast for my insurance agency. Actually, I lied.
I tried to do a mashup of insurance and related topics. It was called The Health. Care. Insurance. Hangout.
It was a weekly live Google Hangout show that was re-purposed as a podcast. I did it for a year and it failed, hard.
Neither the live show nor the podcast caught on.
Did it need more time? I doubt it, but maybe.
Should I have made some adjustments and kept going?
But the real lesson I learned from that was people want to set and forget their insurance, to quote the great Ron Popeil.
They want you to educate them enough so they don't have to worry about it.
In my experience, a podcast isn't the most effective way to make that happen.
The Bottom Line
What I'm really saying is that you have to know the risks and rewards of any medium you decide to create content in and if the results are justified.
If you're willing to take those risks then there's possibly an even bigger upside.
If not, then you are just going to end up spinning your wheels and wasting a lot of great marketing energy on something that was never going to work from the beginning.

During a recent Fund Chat, the topic was "Your Nonprofit Stinks at Donor Retention" and I tossed out something I had done, engaging the board through thank you calling.
@FundraiserBeth: A1 Having Board members call "donor club level" and above donors to TY at time of gift. Also have done "Thank-a-thons."
We all know that thanks and gratitude is key to donor retention. Why not have your most important volunteers do some thanking? Having board members call to thank immediately after the gift has been received is the most common way I've used (see my post here), but I've also organized once a year group "Thank-a-Thons" with board members. That's what I'll cover today.
The first time I was working at a Level 1 trauma hospital. We were a team of three. Since the fundraising office had lain fallow for some years, at the end of our first year we decided to ask foundation board members call some of the larger donors who had given over the last 18 months.
After polling a few key individuals on our board with the idea, we took it to the larger board and proposed two evenings of calls (a Tuesday and Wednesday in two weeks). Board members could come to one or both.
I also contacted a few of the key "front line" personnel and two nurses agreed to join us. They were supporters of us and we thought having them there not only would be helpful if there were any questions about care and for the enthusiasm they offered.
It was a great evening – we had six available phones, with one nurse and four board members each evening. We called using our office phones so the caller id showed the hospital.
It was key for callers to make any notes whatsoever – why they gave, any information about their experience at the hospital, updated record information like phone number. If there was no answer, we asked them to leave a simple message of thanks, their name and that they were part of the board and the number of the foundation.
Most calls were short – people are often surprised to get a call of thanks – and pleasant. And most people had been in seriously life threatening situations (or a loved one) and the gratitude was overwhelming. We considered it a success and it felt great to those who participated.
How can you make a similar plan?
Find your board champions and run this idea by them. I believe you need to have at least one board member who is willing to support your efforts – it will help you and they will already be "signed up".
Invite a few key front-line staff. They are the ones working with clients, providing the care, changing the world. It is heartening to hear their and for board members to see their dedication.
Participate if you can. Sit down and make calls yourself – it adds to the team spirit. But at least one fundraising staff member should be available and listening for questions or concerns that may come up.
Set aside at least 90 minutes. This will give the group a solid one hour of call time and feels like a reasonable amount of time. You might be able to stretch it to 2.5 hours, with members dropping in when they can. With two evenings you will be able to thank a great number of supporters.
Check the calendar. Do not call on any religious holidays – any. Ensure it is away from any important community events (elections, holidays, etc.) and check with your community relations department or people who provide services – do they have something planned?
Carefully review the list. Pull the list first with some gift history and information for staff to review. If you have former board members or staff, be sure you note that for the callers – you don't want them negatively surprised by the donor mentioning they work at the hospital or started the board. Meet again with your data lead to ensure you haven't forgotten to include or exclude important groups. Create the final list into a call sheet; you may need to merge into something easy for your callers to use (not what is easiest to print from the database.
The "call sheet" should have ample information and room for writing notes. Provide the donor names (as you know them), marital status (should another adult answer the phone), phone number, city and any details about why the gift was given (we did not provide gift amount, just that they were $500 or more). We had a number of out-of-state calls, so it was important to put those first to be called. Keep the font large!
Provide snacks and beverages. This gives people a chance to get up move around and to nibble as you get the evening going. And it is gracious – it doesn't have to be fancy.
Provide a script. It just needs to be an outline of thanking and what to do if the person doesn't answer. At the time at the hospital, we knew very little about many of our donors and this was a great way to thank and understand why they gave.
Thank your board members that night and send a note after. You already knew that, right?
Talk about the success at the next board meeting. Either call board members after to get a bead on how they enjoyed the experience and what you might improve for next time (or send a survey, but there will be a lower response). At the next board meeting, get board members talking about their positive experience – it is important to get them excited because thanking is the best start to donor retention!
Yes! I want joy sailing through my inbox!
Open a package of smarts and joy! Every fortnight, find strategies, tips + inspiration to:
- Accomplish anything with grit, grace + gratitude.

| Peace Corps' rededication to youth: Addressing the needs of youth-at-risk
Giselle had trouble in school. She was a rebellious twelve year-old who was caught stealing. In addition, she was sleeping around with boys and men who paid her school fees. These activities brought shame to her family and punishment and condemnation to Giselle. She refused to heed her parents admonitions and rather than go home to face the family's harsh treatment and constant badgering, she began staying out all night with friends on the streets. The longer she stayed away, the greater became her fear of going home to face her family.
Forced to fend for herself, Giselle bartered sex for food, clothing, money and other basic necessities of life. She became more independent and began going dancing and making a living sleeping with the men she met at the bars. As 13, she contracted AIDS and by 15 she was seriously ill Her family soot her in during the last few months of her young life, knowing she was very ill, but unaware she had AlDS. A local doctor gave her as much comfort as possible during the final months of her life.
Three years ago Juan ran away from home at the age of nine. He had become very unhappy and bitter when his father died This led to poor academic performance and misbehavior in school. His mother tried so provide the necessary discipline and direction he needed, but because she worked ten hours a day in a laundry, she had little time or energy to spend with Juan and his five brothers and sisters.
He was sent to live briefly with his aunt and uncle, but began skipping school and running with friends on the street during the day. His uncle beat him and eventually sent him back to his mother. Finally, Juan left home and spent all his time o the streets, working at odd jobs tine selling candy and shining shoes.
He trusted his best friends and tried to sleep close to them night in front of the police station. But being so young, it was easy for older boys to lake advantage of trim and force him to have sex with them. The longer he was on the street, the more common sex became among the street boys and girls.
Most of the time Juan was hungry because the work the found was not enough to buy much food To dull the hunger pains, he began sniffing glue and gasoline. Wanting more money, he occasionally supplemented his small income by homosexual pick-ups with order men. He didn't like doing this, but it was better than being hungry. Nobody ever toad him about the dangers these activities would pose to his life.
Street children and other children in difficult circumstances are particularly vulnerable to contracting the HIV virus and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) due to their proximity to and activity with other high-risk adult populations. Street life exposes them to sexual exploitation, prostitution and/or sexual abuse by older street youth and adults who may be carrying the HIV virus or other STDs. This is particularly true of street girls who often make their living as prostitutes. Heterosexual and homosexual activity among street children is common. Drug, alcohol and other substance abuse frequently increases their susceptibility to sexual activity and abuse.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that there are 8 million people infected with the HIV virus in the world today, over 5 million in Africa alone. By the year 2000, experts predict there will be 40 million people infected, 80 percent in the developing world. Moreover, 10 million children will become orphans from parents who have died from AIDS. Most of those orphans will be in the developing world and it is likely that a large percentage of them will end up as street children as well.
In some countries in Latin America and Africa, the rate of AIDS infection among the adult population is over 30 percent There are no reliable statistics on the prevalence of AIDS among street children, but given their exposure to high risk populations, it can be assumed that rates of infection may now be as high in some countries and will increase rapidly IA the future. This is particularly true among street girls who are involved in "survival sex" where they have little control over whether the partner uses a condom or not This exposure also subjects them to other STDs, which IA some developing countries is as great a threat-if not greater-to their health than is AIDS.
Street children are among the most neglected and abused groups in any community. They have little or no access to community clinics, hospitals, schools or other public services, television or written materials and therefore few opportunities to be educated about AIDS, its transmission and methods of prevention. Word of mouth is the strongest communicator among street children and there are few positive street informants accurately describing the dangers of AIDS and how it can be prevented.
Street children are at an impressionable age when behavior patterns are being established and can still be changed. It is therefore important that they understand the types of behavior that will protect them so that they can make intelligent and lifesaving decisions.

The National AIDS Committee located in the Ministry of Health has primary responsibility for coordinating AIDS activities, including developing and implementing the country's AIDS prevention plan.
WHO lends technical assistance to National AIDS Committee activities in most countries. UNICEF collaborates closely at various levels with WHO, National AIDS Committees and NGOs working with AIDS programs. Many international, non-governmental organizations (e.g. Save the Children, Plan International, Concern, Street Kids International) or local organizations have plans for or are already working in AIDS-related programs.
Several international organizations such as Population Services International and The Futures Group are collaborating with host country governments in social marketing programs that sell products such as condoms through the commercial private sector at subsidized prices. Government donors such as USAID (the largess bilateral donor to AIDS programs) support many of the above mentioned projects.
Possible Project Activities
Assist an organization in conducting qualitative and quantitative research that surveys the knowledge, attitudes and practices of children-at-risk and developing strategies to best address their needs.
Train street children to be peer educators (AIDS experts say peer education is the most effective means of influencing behavior).
Assist local health committees, regional health offices or ministry officials to include street children in AIDS education plans and existing programs.
Link existing NGO AIDS projects with street children.
Develop/adapt and distribute AIDS materials to street children.
Train local NGO staff or counterparts to be street educators in AIDS education.
Develop puppet and/or street theater programs to educate children (as is being done by the Africa Research Education Puppetry Program in South Africa).
Show AIDS education films and videos (such as those designed especially for street children like the cartoon Karate Kid produced by Street Kids International which has accompanying manual and comic books) from mobile vans or at the local cinema or community center.
Target AIDS education to schools where dropout rates are high, rural and urban, that may be the source of future street children.
Develop counseling and care programs for street children with AIDS.

Managing Stress In An Easy Way
Stress is experienced by zillions of men and women. But, too much stress can hamper your health. Additionally, you can face problems in your professional as well as personal life due to stress. However, there are some simple ways by which you can manage stress in an easy way.
Meditate- Meditation will calm your depressed soul and you will feel good after a while. If you are feeling highly depressed, it is better to go for depression treatment.
Meditation can lessen your stress to a great extent. You should meditate for approximately 5 minutes in the morning after waking up from your sleep and 5 minutes either in the evening time or at night before going to sleep. You can increase the time span from 5 minutes to 20 minutes. You can handle your emotional outbursts more if you meditate daily. A reputed child psychologist can help you with the better time management for meditation.
Water – You must drink enough water each day. Adults are recommended to drink at least 2 liters of water every day and the people who are very active or work under sunlight for long hours, they must drink approximately 3 liters of water. The cells of a person's body will start to dehydrate, if he or she will not drink enough water. If a person is stressed out, then his or her cells would become more dehydrated. This takes place because of the stress hormones, which are released by an individual's adrenal glands at the time of stress.
Yoga – Start doing yoga if you cannot control your stress in a proper way. You learn to focus on your breathing while doing different types of yoga in distinct postures. Regular breathing is an excellent way for counselling services calming your body as well as your mind. You can join a gym, where you can practice doing yoga with the help of a yoga teacher.
Eating habits – Bad eating habits of an individual would hamper his or her good health. If your dietary chart is not filled with enough fruits, veggies, but only with sugary items, junk food stuff and beverages, such as alcohol, coffee, tea, and then your body's cells will not get sufficient minerals and vitamins. That's why your body will not be able to function properly. If you do not intake healthy food items, then mineral and magnesium would be lowered in your body. The low level of magnesium will make an individual's nervous system overactive and so his stress levels would increase. The truth is that stress lowers the magnesium level in each and every individual's body.

This training was great and really has accelerated my understanding of HVAC design principles. The instructors are able to pull from their extensive experience and knowledge to give tips and examples that are useful and relevant. Great experience overall!.
Ariel F., Toronto, Ontario
Great course, well-rounded information for anyone in the HVAC industry. You get exposure to all sorts of equipment and designs in the industry, even outside your market. Whether you are in consulting or in sales, this training is beneficial for everyone. Great job, ASHRAE!
Mark B., Orlando, FL
This is years of experience and knowledge condensed into a priceless three-day event. It tackles most of the common issues you come across as a design engineer, and the instructors really go in-depth with practical examples from their work. I am very confident that I will have a great use for everything learned and highly recommend the course to someone just starting out as a HAVC engineer. Even if you've been in the industry for some time, this experience will be important.
Kannan S., Syracuse, NY
This course was very beneficial for expanding my baseline knowledge for HVAC system design and application. I have been in the industry for several years but never had formal "essentials" training and this course was exactly what I needed. The information learned this week will go a long way toward making me more effective both in the immediate future and over my career.
Matthew S., Norman, OK
The ASHRAE HVAC Design Training provided me with the information needed in order to carry out my position responsibilities more effectively. The training aided in the design of high-performance HVAC systems that are optimized for occupant comfort and safety. I am eager to share what I have learned with my coworkers, and to implement the newly attained knowledge into my own HVAC design.
Aaron R., Hancock, MI
This was by far the best HVAC class I have ever taken. Worth every penny.
Owen M., Chicago, IL
This has been an excellent experience, and both instructors have the rare ability to know HVAC and communicate to us. I believe this should be required training for anyone involved in HVAC and/or energy efficiency, because this class pulls so many of these concepts together. Finally, the instructors take the mundane, and inject humor/personal stories to make this understandable and engaging.

The History of Eugene Saturday Market
By: Samantha Thom
While life can sometimes be unpredictable or unreliable, take comfort in the fact that the Eugene Saturday Market will happen every week, rain or shine. The Eugene Saturday Market is non-profit, private organization consisting of over 150 local artisans, crafters and builders coming together on Saturdays to sell their homemade goods on the 8th Avenue park blocks. Items ranging from soaps, clothing, ceramics, jewelry, food, photography, children's toys, and many more fill the lush green space to provide visitors with more than enough to keep them impressed and occupied. There is a great energy that fills the air, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and people from all ages and all different walks of life visit, sell, and have a great time.
In the late 1960s, a Eugene potter named Lotte Streisinger attended a crafts conference in Central America. While there she also visited other markets in the area, and was inspired to bring the concept back and do something with it in her own backyard. Her ideas coincided with the surge in crafting in this time period.
"As part of the anti-war movement, there was a sort of self-sufficiency movement as well," said Kim Still, the Promotions and Advertising Manager of the Eugene Saturday Market. "It involved back-to-the-land people, but also involved crafts. So like the folk music explosion, crafts also were everywhere and everyone was being an artist. And so it just seemed like a really good way to get artists and customers together, to have a market."
The name itself is trademarked in the state of Oregon, meaning that any other market within the state must abide by the rules set forth by the Eugene Saturday Market: everything has to be handcrafted.
"I think we've kept with handcrafted because that was always the rule since day one," Still said. "And there's a committee that meets once a month and has lengthy discussions about what exactly is handcrafted. It's important, especially with technology always changing. They're really dedicated to keeping it handcrafted because it sets us apart from Walmart, a flea market or a Picadilly. It supports people in what they do."
It costs $40 for an annual membership fee to sell at the Market, and all sellers must either be the person who made the goods, a blood relative or legal relative within the state of Oregon.
There is a never-ending stream of people who want to perform at the Market, as well. Still says that she could easily book two stages, six times a day, completely different acts because Eugene is chock full of aspiring and talented musicians. Scattered around the park blocks are others playing their accordions, sitars, bucket drums, and creating balloon art as their forms of expression. It's a great way to get students out performing in their community too, coming with either their school band or instructor to showcase their skills and entertain Market guests. Having not only the goods at market coming from local people, it's a good community practice and bonds Eugene closer together.
"That's sort of the hallmark of our market is that it's about people connecting with each other," said Still. "That's really what keeps it going is that really personal relationship that everybody has at market."
Eugene Saturday Market takes place every week, with free parking available in the garages on 8th Avenue and on Broadway.
Caveman Croquet
A Eugene craftsman puts a unique spin on a classic yard game.
By: Samantha Thom
A garage can be a place to park a car, pack away old memories or store those things there just isn't any other place for. The theme of this one, though, is obvious: wood, and lots of it. Walking inside and sifting through a jungle of saw dust, freshly cut tree limbs and heavy machinery just proves that this local creative is serious about his craft.
For Dave Caldwell, his garage is the ultimate work space. With his mind endlessly curious and gears always grinding, he has projects ranging from ceramics, restoring a boat and woodworking to keep his free time busy. His longest venture, however, has been his handmade croquet sets. Caldwell started Cro-Magnon Croquet 8 years ago, beginning with one mega mallet he built as a gift.
"It was a friend of mine's birthday, he was having a birthday party and he was going to play croquet," he says. "And I thought 'well, I'll make him a big mallet'. He broke the regular croquet ball using that thing, and he said 'oh, you should make whole sets and everything'. I was still living in Pleasant Hill, and we had about 25 trees blow down in this big, crazy windstorm that came through. I had all these half logs lying around and I just kind of put it all together and it came about this way."
Cro-Magnon Croquet, as it's been called ever since, is now Caldwell's main attraction at his and his wife's Eugene Saturday Market booth. While croquet may not be the first thing that comes to mind when people think of uniqueness or individuality, Caldwell's sets look straight out of Paul Bunyon's tool shed. With their rustic look and palpable feel, Caldwell wanted to make sure whatever he named it also reflected that.
"I was thinking rustic, caveman, something like that," he says. "My wife and I jointly came together with the name."
Though he doesn't attend every week, Caldwell says the Market has been a huge help to him in regards to selling and marketing his sets.
"Ever since I put the first one out at Saturday Market I get oohs and ahs constantly," he says. "People have just never seen things like this before. It's been taking off and this year has been the best so far for sales. By the time I do all the labor and everything I don't make a whole lot on 'em but I make some. It's my little side thing."
His sets are also the best quality they've ever been. With the hoops evolving from barely-visible copper wire to bold, yellow rebar, Caldwell is proud to offer a lifetime guarantee for his $200 croquet sets.
"If anything breaks, I'll replace it," he says. "No store will ever give that."
Most stores also don't use recycled wood for their products. Caldwell says that the last thing he wants to do is go out and purposely cut down trees to build his products. All of the frames, mallets and balls are made of woods from friends, family members and anywhere else he can find it. He even uses the wood that he hollows out to form the croquet balls to make birdhouses.
"I try not to waste anything," he says.
After working in remodeling, repairs and dabbling in contracting as his day jobs, Caldwell says that he can't help always being hands on and trying to create something new and different.
"Our whole family has been full of artists and builders, so I kind of got it all blended into me," he says. "That's why I have so many projects going on at once. I'll never exactly retire because I'm a workaholic," he says, laughing.
Caldwell says that he plans on continuing to make croquet sets as long as people are buying them. The Eugene Saturday Market has been the ideal place for him to test out his products, get people interested and just to gain experience selling.
"We get a lot of public exposure from it, and it's kind of fun to sit and chat with people and learn how to sell things," he says. "It's definitely a community. And I've never really been a salesman before but now I'm learning how to do it. It's easy when it's your own project and you know all about it."
Though he says that weather sometimes can be an issue with the Market, he's happy with what he has experienced overall and what he's gained from being a part of it.
"Just the color and the variety, the good food, music going on, people having fun," he says. "You're never bored."
Interviewee: Jenn Savage, of Savage Expedition Gear
Interviewer: Samantha Thom
Q: How did you come up with the idea for your survival gear?
A: That would be my husband. I think after living in Costa Rica we were in the jungle, and so it was about being prepared. He was always messing around with this paracord stuff but he didn't want to just carry it around everywhere. So he started looking it up, and he found that very few people make it into belts because of the certain weave that some people do, it takes forever to make and to undo which is not very practical in a survival situation. He got the idea of using snare wire and a fire-starter stick so you can have snares to catch animals and you can make fish hooks, that kind of thing.
Q: Why did you choose to sell at Eugene Saturday Market? Was it a way to test to see if people would buy your products, or is it where you wanted to be?
A: It is very good feedback. We thought this is a unique product and it does qualify with the regulations to get into it. Some markets there's a waiting list and you really can't get in, but the way they have it with the point system gives new vendors a good chance. So I think just the fact that we were in the area, it was about to start, we had a new product, it was like, why would we not do this? It's really good instant feedback. If you have a website you may not hear anything but when people can look at it, pick it up, feel it and decide they really like it, then it's great.
Q: How is your perception of the Market different as a customer versus as a vendor?
A: Oh it's hugely different. Before I think, growing up, I felt kind of uncomfortable going to markets because if I wanted to look at something I felt like I had to buy it because the vendors are standing right there. I liked the atmosphere and just being able to walk around. It's a great activity on a beautiful day to go see these cool things that people create. But the pricing, I don't think you understand from a customer's point of view why things might be more expensive there than in the store because it's like, 'oh you made this'. But at the same time you have to count all the hours you put into that, and the hours you spent just coming up with this idea. I don't think I realized the time and that you have to add that to the value of the product. Also being there, it's definitely a community. You get to meet new people week after week and you become obsessed with the weather, too. If it was your livelihood I feel like it would affect you a lot more and a lot differently, whereas it's different for us in that I have a job and we have the website.
Q: It's become more common for people to struggle in this economy spending money to make their own goods and sell them, while still being able to make money. Have you dealt with any economical challenges with your products?
A: I haven't personally been affected, but I can understand it. I mean my mother-in-law makes soaps and sells them at Market and she puts high quality, expensive ingredients into them. So that's a lot of cost into her product. But ours was a relatively low start-up cost. We just had to buy the colors, buckles, wire, minimal things. And we started selling them quickly enough that we were out of the negative and into the positive. I think the difference is low start-up and our product is a practical thing. Like some things at market look beautiful but you just put them on a shelf or something and you can't use them all the time. Whereas this, it's practical, you can use it, and it's cool. So we haven't had that experience, we've been fortunate in that way.
Q: Is there anything you'd change about the Market, and how would you do that if you could?
A: With the Holiday Market, in the winter time, since you have to accrue points the year before, based on this year we don't have an in at the Holiday Market. It's a bummer because the Holiday Market sales are huge. It's two days a weekend and people are there to buy for gifts. My mother-in-law's sales double and triple every day of what she usually sells. So we're bummed that it doesn't work differently in the fact that we can't do anything about this year unless they have some open spots and we can be in a random drawing. So… I mean you don't want a market that's only based on sales, like on performance, because then you don't have the hodgepodge that you do. But in a sense it would be nice if there was a way to differentiate between different vendors for those open spots, I guess.
Q: Do you think selling at the Market is something you'll continue to do in the future?
A: We're planning on doing it always, or at least as we can see it right now. We like it.

Each week you'll hear a sermon related to our walk with God in the world in which we live; you'll hear our historic prayers of the church but with opportunity for you to add prayers of the church for contemporary situations and personal needs; you'll be invited to receive holy communion, a reminder of Jesus' offering of himself for our sins and a participation in His body and blood; and you'll be given the opportunity after the service to receive personal prayer for whatever needs you have- body, soul , spirt or circumstance.
Sometimes our services-Sunday and Mid-week- are variations on that theme.
On certain occasions simpler, more contemplative forms of prayer and styles of music are the style of the service. On more festive occasions the pipe organ sounds of the keyboard are called upon, a parishioner plays the trumpet, the vestments (robes) are fancy and incense is used.
Our pastor is a former professional organist and loves to arrange special services such as Taize' and Tenebrae.
As our church grows more Christian Education events for people of all ages are being offered.
Tenebrae @ Trinity Church
Trinity Church celebrates the rich fullness of the historic liturgy, both the great hymns of the Church and gentle contemporary music, prayer, and a sermon that applies the Bible to our lives today.
Our building is both ancient and modern. It was designed to look like the oldest existing church building in New England, built in 1681. Its roots are historic- the Christian faith is much older than we are and isn't going anywhere.
In these troublesome times we know God to be a sure anchor. Yet, our building is warm and inviting – a place that feels like home, reminding us God wishes to meet us today, as a friend and a helper, as well as the God of the universe.

OAKLAND (KPIX 5) — A Bay Area police officer said he can relate to both sides of the tensions in Ferguson, Missouri. Jinho Ferreira, a musician who protested the Oscar Grant shooting turned police officer and playwright, hopes his duel perspectives can reach many different people.
It came to Ferriera as he walked the streets of Oakland with others protesting the 2009 fatal shooting of Oscar Grant by a BART police officer.
"Be the change you want to see. Don't talk about it, be about it," Ferriera told KPIX 5.
- CONTINUING COVERAGE: Latest Ferguson Updates From CBS St. Louis
Ferriera did not think there were enough law enforcement officers who could identify with Grant. "Either I was going to actually do something about it or I was at least going to stop complaining," he said.
So he became one, an Alameda County Sheriff's Deputy. But that wasn't enough.
Ferriera, a West Oakland native who has traveled the world as a member of the Oakland rap group Flipsyde, wanted to write a play.
It's called "Cops and Robbers," a one-man show directed by Lou Levinson and Amy Zens. The show deconstructs a fictional officer-involved shooting, one not so different from the one that has sparked protests and riots in Ferguson, Missouri.
"It's almost as if I wrote it after watching this entire Ferguson thing unfold on the news," Ferriera said.
Ferriera said that's because these shootings keep happening, a vicious cycle that he can only hope his show and perspective can start changing. "Anytime a young black man in this country loses his life it hurts me and makes me sick. And I want us to be able to channel that energy, that hurt, that pain, channel it into a creative solution into moving forward," he said.
"Cops and Robbers" is playing at the Marsh Theater in Berkeley through September 13th.

Boniface Ferdinand Leonard "Buddy" DeFranco (February 17, 1923 – December 24, 2014) was an American jazz clarinet player. One of few clarinetists playing bebop, DeFranco was described by critic Scott Yannow as the leading American jazz musician on his instrument from the 1940s until Eddie Daniels came to prominence in the 1980s.[1] In addition to his own work as a bandleader, DeFranco led the Glenn Miller Orchestra for almost a decade in the 1960s and '70s.
Born in Camden, New Jersey, DeFranco was raised in South Philadelphia. He was playing the clarinet by the time he was 9 years old and within five years had won a national Tommy Dorsey[2] swing contest.
He began his professional career just as swing music and big bands—many of which were led by clarinetists like Artie Shaw, and Benny Goodman—were in decline. While most jazz clarinet players did not adapt to this change, DeFranco successfully continued to play clarinet exclusively, and was one of the few bebop clarinetists.
In 1950, DeFranco spent a year with Count Basie's Septet. He then led a small combo in the early 1950s which included pianist Sonny Clark and guitarist Tal Farlow. In this period, DeFranco recorded for MGM, Norgran and Verve; the latter two labels were owned by Norman Granz.
During the years 1960-64, DeFranco released four innovative quartet albums as co-leader with the accordionist Tommy Gumina.
He was bandleader of the Glenn Miller Orchestra from 1966 to 1974, under the name, "The World Famous Glenn Miller Orchestra, Directed By Buddy DeFranco". He also performed with Gene Krupa, Charlie Barnet, Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson, Billie Holiday and many others, and released dozens of albums as a leader.
DeFranco died in Panama City, Florida at the age of 91 (by wikipedia)

Surviving the waves of Zombies in Call of the Dead is a tough task especially when George Romero is there to annoy and follow players around. One of the ways to survive Call of the Dead is via the Semtex Grenades.
In Call of the Dead, there is a location where players can purchase a SEMTEX grenade. The Semtex Grenade is like a sticky grenade where players can kill up to five zombies at a time. The grenades are good in setting up a trap on the Zombies and killing multiples of them at the beginning of each wave. Some people prefers the SEMTEX grenade than the regular FRAGGS grenade. Remember that players will need at least 200 Points to buy them off the wall.
Now, let's take a look on how to get the SEMTEX grenade.
SEMTEX Grenade
The SEMTEX grenade supply is located at a place where the Zipline is connected at the lighthouse.
From there, go further left from the Zipline and players will see the SEMTEX Grenade supply on the wall. Make sure that you have at least Call of the Dead: Locating the Semtex Grenade,

By now, you've probably have seen the headlines or stories about Kirk Kerkorian's advisor Jerry York giving a pessimistic view of Chrysler's future. After speaking here in Chicago, York was asked about the prospects for the struggling automaker to turn things around. York said, "Chrysler as a stand-alone company is not viable."
He went on to add that he suspects Chrysler parent Cerberus Capital Management is considering every option "because of the pressure the company is under." As soon as I read those comments I could hear the rumor mill starting up.
The main question people reading York's comments will ask is whether the man York advises, Kirk Kerkorian, would ever make a play for Chrysler. My gut says Kerkorian would only do it if he could "get" Chrysler on the cheap. And given the money and time Cerberus has sunk into Chrysler, I doubt the private equity firm is ready to throw in the towel on Chrysler at a low price.
Sure Chrysler is a money losing operation right now, and yes, Cerberus, like all private equity firms, is in the business of seeing a a return on its investments as quickly as possible. That doesn't mean it's looking to pull the chord on Chrysler as soon as possible. And selling at the bottom of a market is not a smart move. The time to sell is in a year or two when the auto market is moving ahead, and Chrysler is conceivably in better financial shape.
Chrysler CEO Bob Nardelli and President Jim Press have to move as quickly as possible to stem the losses. Which is why the company is considering a plan to streamline its product portfolio and dealer network (see early Behind the Wheel blog). Chrysler still has a lot to build on. It's number 4 in the U.S., costs will be coming down with the new UAW contract, and the Jeep brand is one of the few in the auto industry with instant worldwide recognition.
The speculation about why York is not optimistic about Chrysler's future is just that: speculation. Knowing Jerry as I do, I take his comments as those coming from an industry veteran and not as someone laying the ground work for another Kerkorian auto bid.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases in Homosexual Men. Diagnosis, Treatment, and Research
edited by David G. Ostrow, Terry Alan Sandholzer, and Yehudi M. Felman. xx + 272 pages. Plenum Publishing Corp., 233 Spring Street, New York, NY 10013. 1983. $35.00
Until the last few years, the sexually transmitted diseases were considered to be syphilis, gonorrhea, chancroid, lymphogranuloma venereum, granuloma inguinale, and nongonococcal urethritis. These, it was tacitly assumed, were acquired in the conventional manner. This book is designed to inform the primary health care provider about the many sexually related and transmitted diseases (STDs) seen in the homosexual population. To this end, 15 contributors, all with wide experience in health problems of gay men, review these conditions.
A chapter on sexual practices history-taking provides the practitioner with insight into this neglected area, and tabulates the relationship between various STDs and specific sexual practices. An overview of STD diagnosis is found in a chapter rather misleadingly entitled "Setting up the Physician's Office …." The next several chapters discuss diagnosis and treatment of syphilis, gonorrhea, nongonococcal urethritis, amebiasis, giardiasis, shigellosis, and viral hepatitis, emphasizing epidemiologic features important or unique to the homosexual lifestyle.

Behind Closed Doors
Family Secrets: Living with Shame from the Victorians to the Present Day
By Deborah Cohen
Viking 371pp £20 order from our bookshop
'They fuck you up, your mum and dad'. When Philip Larkin launched his broadside against parenthood at the start of the 1970s, the traditional family had already been consigned to the tumbril. During the previous decade, a ragtag cluster of forces, from the psychiatrist R D Laing and the social anthropologist Edmund Leach to the Gay Liberation Front and the nascent feminist movement, had denounced this once-hallowed institution as a cabaret of dysfunctionality, a cradle of repression and a coven of abuse. 'The initial act of brutality against the average child is the mother's first kiss,' wrote Laing, in a typically pugnacious pronouncement. From this seemingly innocuous gesture, every other imaginable form of injury and distress proceeded.

Patient Information
Left Ventricular Hypertrophy on ECG
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) means that the muscle of the left pumping chamber of the heart (left ventricle) is thickened. The left ventricle's job is to pump blood to the body, and conditions that increase the work the left ventricle has to do can lead to thickening of the muscle. High blood pressure, tight valves, certain malformations of the heart (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) and some medications (such as certain steroids) can lead to LVH, but in many cases the cause is not known. LVH can also be normal in people who are very athletically conditioned.
In addition, very often the EKG suggests LVH when in fact the heart muscle is normal - this is a weakness of EKGs as a test.
If there is any concern about whether a child with LVH on ECG actually has a heart problem, the usual next step would be to consider a consultation with a pediatric cardiac specialist and usually an ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram).


text: It is now some fifteen years since the passing of Fela Ransome Kuti and there have been various re-issue programmes that have been underway ever since. However, none have been as comprehensive as the latest from Knitting Factory records, the label offshoot of the left-field music venue in New York. This excellent value for money anthology provides a fine overview of Fela's career, though once you have been hooked by his music you will wish to acquire individual albums. These will be released on a two album per CD set over the forthcoming months from March through September this year. On offer here are full length versions of some of the classic Fela songs which effortlessly combine biting political and social satire with pounding Afro-Beat rhythms and for the uninitiated these are immediately addictive. Thus 'Sorrow, Tears and Blood' depicts the toils and tribulations of the Apartheid regime in South Africa while equally compelling and uncompromising are elongated numbers such as 'Expensive Shit' and 'Black Man's Cry'. From the earlier period in Fela's career, 'He miss road' is a driving number. For long-time fans there are a couple of interesting compositions that are not quite as well known. In particular the laid back number, 'Trouble sleep yanga wake am' gives the listener the opportunity to hear the iconic Fela sound at 3/4 pace which makes for a refreshing change and this is largely an instrumental piece weighing in at just over tweleve minutes with some lovely saxophone soloing from Fela. From the end of his career, 'Underground System (Part 2)' features some terrific call and response vocals that are a trademark of the Fela sound with an extended rap from the leader in pidgin English. It is often forgotten that Fela Kuti was an accomplished instrumentalist as well as a tireless campaigner for human rights. However, even a 2 CD retrospective could never hope to fully capture the comprehensive picture of just Fela Kuti's musical career highlights and there are some notable omissions, 'Roforofo flight' and 'Shakara' being obvious contenders for inclusion. The deluxe edition has as a bonus the live performance of Fela Kuti's band at the 1984 Glastonbury festival. A fine place to start one's appreciation of an African musical legend. Tim Stenhouse

Zion National Park: The Landscape Photographer's Perfect Palette
Light, form, texture and natural history are the creative elements of the landscape photographer; and few places provide all four, and in rare and multitudinous combinations, as Zion National Park. Located in southwestern Utah, Zion's palette is uniquely enhanced by encompassing portions of the Colorado Plateau, the Great Basin and the Mojave Desert. Here, high plateaus; a maze of narrow, deep sandstone canyons; and striking rock towers and mesas form ready-made compositions for the landscape photographer with an eye to capture the fleeting moments when light and the atmosphere play among these natural features.
The magical ingredients of Zion are its range of elevation, from 3,666 to 8,726 feet, and the eons of geological activity that has shaped the landscape into spectacular and subtle forms at every turn of the trail. Zion was a relatively flat basin near sea level 240 million years ago. As sands, gravels, and muds eroded from surrounding mountains, streams carried these materials into the basin and deposited them in layers. The rock layers have been uplifted, tilted and eroded into a feature called the Grand Staircase, a series of colorful cliffs stretching between Bryce Canyon and the Grand Canyon. Today, the Virgin River is still excavating the landscape. Upstream from the Temple of Sinawava, the river cuts through Navajo Sandstone, creating a slot canyon. At the Temple, the river has reached the softer Kayenta Formation below. Water erodes the shale, undermining the overlaying sandstone and causing it to collapse, widening the canyon.
This combination of altitude, wind and water has made Zion the home of the greatest collection of freestanding, natural arches in the world. Hidden in its geologic grandeur are dozens, perhaps hundreds, of freestanding arches of all shapes and sizes. Crawford Arch is the most visible, clinging to the base of Bridge Mountain a thousand feet above the canyon floor.
The other famous arch in Zion is Kolob Arch, which is located deep in the backcountry and hidden in a small side canyon. Because of its remoteness, Kolob Arch has challenged hikers, climbers and photographers, as the one place they wish to experience and capture in the amazing images it provides. The beauty of this area begins from the first step at the trailhead, as it presents the landscape photographer with truly overwhelming scenery. Geology becomes art as the La Verkin Creek, with its soothing sounds of life-giving water, sculpts some of the most colorful canyon walls in southwestern Utah. Awe-inspiring views of the Kolob Terrace along the trail give any photographer many places to stop to record the palette of colors and formations in the high plateau country of Zion.
Zion's unmatched mix of terrain and environment has also made it the perfect home for a plethora of wildlife and plant life. With so many varying heights and resultant microclimates and habitats, it is no surprise that Zion is home to more than 78 species of mammals, 291 species of birds, 44 species of reptiles and amphibians and 8 species of fish. Many of these animals hide from the heat of the day, so early morning and late afternoon treks are required to find and photograph them.
The most frequent mammal sightings are mule deer, foxes, bats, bighorn sheep and rock squirrels. As day gives way to night, listen for the coyote's call or watch for the nimble movements of a ringtail cat. Other nocturnal wildlife includes mountain lion, porcupine, skunk, raccoon, badger, bats and beaver. Keep an eye to the sky for glimpses of the Mexican spotted owl and Southwestern willow flycatcher as well as the peregrine falcon, California condor and bald eagle. Their populations continue to increase in the sanctuary of the Zion National Park.
Become more than one of the millions of tourists and casual photographers that visit Zion every year by attending the intensive and all-inclusive photography workshop hosted by Visionary Wild, October 8–12, 2012. You are promised an unprecedented photographic learning experience, as Jack Dykinga, acclaimed landscape photographer, and Justin Black, Visionary Wild co-founder and assistant instructor, will help you develop your creativity and visual acuity to capture compositions you might otherwise miss.
No one knows the southwest American desert better than Jack Dykinga, who has been photographing this astonishing landscape for three decades. He and Justin will share the techniques that will make your photographic palette richer and more intense. You'll learn composition, light, exposure control, anticipating and working through changing conditions and essentials of digital workflow.
Visionary Wild workshops are popular and the limited spaces fill quickly. For more information, visit http://visionarywild.com/workshops/zion/.

New fund created for JMU donors to support university innovation
By Eric Gorton ('86,'09 M)
James Madison University is seeking support for an innovative micro-incubator program to launch viable startup companies with products invented by JMU faculty, staff and students.
The program is administered by the Office of Technology Transfer and the Center for Entrepreneurship. James Madison Innovations, Inc., will use the new fund to seed startup companies. JMI is a nonprofit corporation established in 2009 to transfer intellectual property produced at JMU into the commercial sector.
The fund has an initial goal of $500,000, said Mary Lou Bourne, JMU's director of technology transfer and executive director of JMI. Contributions to the JMI Startup Fund are made as gifts to the university through the JMU Foundation and are tax-deductible.
JMI has already provided seed money, marketing and management support to launch a company this year, Collegiate Strength Innovations. CSI has three products invented by JMU strength and conditioning coaches and a business plan created by students in a venture creation class. Students and recent graduates also helped create the company website and other marketing materials.
JMI is launching the startups to build their value and prove their marketability before shopping them to other companies or entrepreneurs who can grow the companies.
Donations to the startup fund can be made online.

Why Jodhpur has blue painted houses?
Jodhpur is a popular tourist destination, featuring many palaces, forts and temples, set in the stark landscape of the Thar Desert. Jodhpur is also widely known as "Blue City" for the blue color on the houses in the old city area.
There are no historical mentions providing reason why the color is blue. There are many reasons as defined by the ancestors and tour guides. Many of the houses in Jodhpur's older neighborhoods are colored in striking blue, a sharp contrast from the neighboring Thar Desert. Some say the color is associated with the Brahmins, India's priestly caste and the blue houses of the old city belong to families of that caste.
The reason behind blue painted homes could be in an effort to get rid of termites in the houses, copper sulphate was added to the paint, thus, resulting in the color.
Another theory claims that the color helps to keep the houses cool in the heat. Because the city is known as the "Sun City" for the bright, sunny weather it enjoys all the year round.
Here a sneak peak into Jodhpur's Blue City Houses. See Pictures:

Hi Marilyn et al ... March 1 sounds like an interesting webinar. With my family history and discovery of genetic mutations after 12 years of searching, I am anxious to hear what Laura Palmer may know about our RAD51D and PALB2. Family members tested have more negatives than positives, but it's scary for those that have the same mutation as I and likely my mother who were diagnosed with Stage IIIC Epithelial Serous.
I would like my query put forth as a question please. thanks

ST. KITTS (Basseterre)
St Kitts and Nevis
09:00 - 21:00
St. Kitts verdant volcanic slopes rise from crystal clear Caribbean waters, promising a land of escape, relaxation and rejuvenation. A place for 'limin' - the local word for kicking back, Caribbean style, you'll be welcomed to an island paradise blessed with swarming reefs, hidden white-sand beaches, and irresistible shallow seas. Bigger sibling to nearby Nevis, St. Kitts is a place of unrestrained natural beauty. Soak up the dreamy Caribbean bliss, or explore sprawling island rainforests, teeming with hummingbirds and the distant sounds of waterfalls, as you walk the island's vine-tangled paths. A ride on Basseterre's scenic sugar train is a rumbling, immersive journey through the heart of this Caribbean island of culture and vivid unspoiled scenery. Carriages that once transported crops of sugar cane to the city sweep around long curving bends, revealing a spectacular introduction to St. Kitts. The landscapes here are beautiful, and things are no less spectacular offshore, where glorious crystalline waters invite you to dive with turtles, and explore doomed wrecks like the River Taw ship – which has now exploded with marine life. In Basseterre itself, stop off to see the pea-green Berkeley Memorial clock, which stands in the Circus, surrounded by busy St. Kitts life. Independence Square is also waiting among the city's charming Georgian buildings. Renamed from Pall Mall on the 19th of September 1983 - to celebrate the island's independence - the pretty square gravitates around a colourful burbling fountain, and has a dark history, as a former slave market. Wary canons watch out over the waves far below at Brimstone Hill Fortress, a site of significant history, which dates back to 1690. Known as the 'Gibraltar of the West Indies' due to its importance at the heart of the British empire, St. Kitts was one of the first island in the West Indies to be colonised. Nowadays, its World Heritage Site fortress offers panoramic views along the coastline it was built to defend.

Taylor Swift was caught crying at the Grammys, but not because she won
Despite picking up a handful of Grammys Monday night, Taylor Swift was not happy with herself.
The pop star opened up the award show with a haunting performance of "Out of the Woods," but almost immediately after she sat down, cameras caught Taylor pouting and crying.
Swift could then be seen turning around in her seat to explain to someone that she missed a note in her song, and asked them if they noticed.
Luckily, her BFF and date for the evening, Selena Gomez, was there to comfort her.
Tay, may we suggest taking a cue from Adele and shaking it off at an In-N-Out Burger?
