Meet Amanda: Artist. Explorer. Coffee Drinker. Time Machine.
No, that's not a picture of me. Chances are, you guessed that already—but here's what you probably don't know:
That's a picture of my grandmother that I took for my first photography class in college, and it's still one of the best damn photos I've ever made.
Not because it's technically perfect, but because it perfectly captures the way my grandmother always looked at me. She passed away on February 27, 2010, and I miss her every day. But when I look at this photo, it grabs my heart and lets me travel back in time to relive a sweet moment with her that I might otherwise have forgotten.
That's what I do for you as a wedding photographer—make photos that you will look at later and remember THAT moment as clearly as if it was yesterday. That tell your story and celebrate your relationships in whatever awesome, non-traditional, beautiful and/or badass way you want.
I'll also take pictures of rings with no fingers in them, plus place settings and other stuff you never thought about until you started wedding planning (escort cards, anyone?). But my favorites are those spontaneous, unexpected shots that aren't off any list—the ones that, even years later, will transport you back to that amazing moment again and again.
That's the true power of photography, and it's what got me hooked in the first place.
Ever since my first photography class at The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), I knew I wanted to keep making pictures. A few years later, I walked away with suitcases of drawings, a BFA in painting, and a deep and lasting passion for photography. But I promise I don't wear a beret or anything like that. I don't even have any angst (well, not much). I'm actually pretty laid back.
That's why you should totally internet stalk me—especially if you're planning to let me photograph one of the most important days of your life and everything. Look over my photography blog, or check out my Facebook, Pinterest, or Twitter. Lately, Instagram is my favorite place to hang out online, so I'd recommend starting there. Or maybe you'd like to read about and see some photos of me and my wife and our family, so take a look at this blog post I wrote for our 16th anniversary this year.
But actually, the best way to get to know me is to hang out with me (yay!) and tell me a little bit about yourself—and your incredible partner. Which is why you should go ahead and email me right now to set up a time we can meet over coffee (or beer).
If you're not in Atlanta, we can Skype instead—with coffee (or beer) in our respective, far-apart hands. And then if we're a good fit, I'll travel anywhere in the continental U.S. for FREE in order to shoot your wedding. Cool? Cool.
Thanks for reading all this stuff. I hope to meet you soon.
(P.S. That's a picture of me down there that I took on top of Ryan Mountain at Joshua Tree NP.)

Apprenticeship Project
My name is Ebony and I am the Dance Education Apprentice at Northern Ballet. I have been in my role for nearly a year now, and as the apprentice I have been observing, supporting and co-delivering workshops with the Dance Education Officers, which will help guide me towards my goal of becoming a dance teacher.
I have supported workshops with a variety of people of all ages and abilities, which has given me the confidence to be able to work in many different environments. During the past six months I have started to deliver workshops independently, with Early Years and Primary school pupils and people with and without disabilities.
Recently, I have independently created and delivered a project for Year 1 pupils at Clapgate Primary School in Leeds. This was a five week project focused on the four seasons, aimed at improving the children's knowledge of the seasons and introducing them to creative dance.
This theme was chosen as it worked in line with the children's curriculum, as they were learning about the seasons through their science lessons, and it was interesting to see whether exploring the seasons in a unique way would have an impact on their learning.
As well as taking part in weekly dance sessions, in week 5 of the project the children took part in a sharing allowing them to show what they had learned over the course of the project with family and teachers.
Each week we looked at a different season, with the children taking part in tasks that would allow them to understand the season and to gain creative dance skills. Images and visual aids were used as a resource each week to help the children with their movement. For example, for winter I showed them a picture of a snowflake and we discussed what it looks like and how it moves, such as 'sharp, pointy, floaty', and then the children would move like a snowflake based on the words they had just spoken about.
As part of the evaluation process, I asked the class teacher to fill in a weekly evaluation form to assess the impact on the children. It became clear that each week the children were improving as they were becoming more confident with their dance skills and could answer questions about the seasons more easily and quickly.
'I personally believe the children have really benefitted from the project. The focus of the seasons fit perfectly to the science curriculum objectives for Year 1. The children have a good understanding of the seasons as a result of the project and their confidence and ability in their movements has really improved' (Georgina Gutteridge, Year 1 teacher)
It's positive to see that the project has made an impact on the children's learning and understanding of their dance skills. It has also made me grow as a dance artist and since creating and delivering my own project my confidence has improved, showing me how far I have come since the start of my apprenticeship.

Indeed, so it proved. It was great fun, superbly put together and provided plenty of laughs along the way. While fans might well have been over the events of these years a fair few times in the past there was still scope for something new (for me at least) along the way.
The book doesn't just re-tell the film either. While Owen made the most of the footage - particularly Clough at his sparkling best - and an excellent soundtrack, Taylor's book makes the most of the opportunities a book provides.
Perhaps the best example of this comes in the early chapters - and it was here that there were some eerie parallels with the club's current predicament.
When Clough breezed into the City Ground crowds had declined (even dipping below 8,000), the ground was in dire need of a little TLC, the club wasn't being run in a professional way, the left back position was a problem and the best talents had left.
On that last point, Taylor quotes Clough's assessment on arrival that:
"One of the greatest tragedies, to my mind, is the way quality players have been allowed to leave over the last five or six years."As Premier League winning Wes Morgan, England squad member Michail Antonio and Bundesliga high flyer Oliver Burke all show, Clough could well have been describing the club right now.
Fawaz's failed ownership makes the committee of the 1970s look like the board of a FTSE 100 company, yet its clear that leadership off the field is a problem shared by both eras. While the ground and the crowds it attracts might also be talking points now we can, at least be grateful for the fact that we're not yet at 8,000 nor are we in need of a cat to chase away mice on the terraces.
Then there's the team of 75. That early Clough line-up is described by Taylor as a 'tired, depressed side with low morale and a tendency to slip into basic ineptitude' and as an outfit that conceded 'all manner of goals'. The lines could've been taken from Saturday's match report.
The situation in 1975 makes the success by the end of the decade all the more remarkable. Yet we can also see that Clough did struggle to get going at the start.
After winning his first match, Clough didn't garner a victory in any of the next 15 fixtures. Even after a year in charge, Clough's record was a meagre 11 wins in 41 matches. I've written before (for Seat Pitch here) how those sorts of numbers in the modern day would have earned Clough the sack from Fawaz (and a fair few other chairmen to be fair).
It's a point Taylor makes too. He writes:
"Clough was probably fortunate it was not the era of knee-jerk chairmen, cut-throat media and irritable internet bloggers, for there was little doubt the bloodhounds would have been on his scent."It would be foolish to say that Montanier can go on to get anywhere close to Clough, of course. But Taylor's text certainly shows the folly of judging anyone this early on. Clough won two of his first 17 games, Montanier has won six. That doesn't mean he should be immune from criticism, last Saturday was poor after all. But it does, for me at least, show that even the very best need time to get things right.
Taylor shows how Clough and, crucially, Peter Taylor, came to run the club in their own way - calling the shots and running rings around the committee. Fast forward to 2016 and the single most significant figure at the club will be whoever takes the club from Fawaz. Whether it's - as we suspect - a consortium led by John Jay Moores or a late new bid from Evangelos Marinakis, their leadership off the field will be crucial in building a club befitting the tough environment of the Championship.
Yet there's probably one way in which the Clough era is still relevant to the current off the field considerations. The joyous events in the rest of the book established the club's name beyond these shores. We might be ridiculed as fans for being stuck in the past, but you can't help thinking that it's this past that means that, despite everything that has happened in the last few years, there are still several investors considering parting with big money to buy us.
That doesn't necessarily mean we'll attract the right buyer - Fawaz had been attracted by the past glories after all - but it does make us stand out from the crowd a little and helps people see beyond the current trials and tribulations. Investors must think that because we've been a success in the past that we can - within reason - be successful again in the future. You can guarantee that they'll mention it in their first press conference. We can only hope that they are right.
In some respects this is Clough's final miracle. The last bit of his stardust still - 12 years after his death and 23 years after he left the dugout - lingers and could well help us get our ticket out of the mire. It won't last forever, but for now the achievements of Clough, Taylor and their merry men are still making us a more attractive proposition. It's another thing to be thankful for.
Speaking of thankful, we're lucky to have a prominent writer of Taylor's talent on the scene. His book is a real treat and brings to life the men behind the miracle - a group of players who are only now getting due recognition.
The parallels between the pre-Clough era and the modern day certainly give food for thought. Let's hope we don't have to fall further to fall before things look up once again.

On Sunday, the sun came out to play in London!
Now usually I'm the worst on a hangover. I'd be snuggled up in bed with a handful of snacks, plenty of juice and some programmes which don't take much effort to watch. That or YouTube channels. I'm slightly obsessed with Zoe, Tanya, Alfie, Jim, Marcus, Niomi, Caspar Joe & co at the mo!
But this Sunday was too pretty to be wasted in bed. So Laura, Carolyn & I took a trip to beautiful Richmond (yes, me and Laura weren't quite well enough to venture out of our ends #southwestlgalsforever ). But it was such a lovely day out.
Lesson of the day: Fresh air, sun and Whole Foods is the best cure to a hangover! (That, and hair of the dog...!)
What I Wore:
I Am Wearing
Dress - Battersea Car Boot Sale (£5.00 bargain!!)
White Shirt - H&M
Baby Pink Plimsoles - Topshop
Tattoo - Thailand
Sunglasses - Topshop
Leaf Earrings - Topshop
Black Bow - Claire's Accessories
Ring - Topshop
Nail Varnish - Models Own in 'Bikini'
Lips - Mac Lipstick in 'Ravishing' and Maybelline's Colour Sensational Shine Gloss in 'Cashmere Rose'
Some Snaps from the day:
We found Laura's own healthy food range in Whole Foods...for a girl who didn't know how to grate cheese a few years ago, she's come a long way!
My favourite section of Whole Foods... (to look at)
Came across the biggest meringues Ive ever seen...
And the smallest pastries I've ever seen... (the picture definitely doesn't do them justice, they were so cute!)
We opted for some fresh Mexican-style burrito's for lunchio!
Mmmmmm cookies...I've tried pretty much the whole range over time and I recommended the white chocolate coated beauts to Laura. She approved.
Then we soaked up the sun's rays on Richmond Green with our goodies. We also tried 'Banana Mylk' which was amazing, especially for banana lovers! It reminded me of a mix between the banana medicine I used to have as a kid, those foamy banana sweets, and banana milkshake. But all natural meaning not quite as sweet and sickly. Just perfect.
Fro Yo is a must on a sunny day! The Farmery in Richmond do an amazing selection of toppings, and they have suggested mixes which are tailored to taste like your favourite dessert, including 'Banoffee Pie' and 'Eton Mess' (Laura's pick). I opted for a self-made one; chocolate frozen yoghurt topped with oreo's, banana and strawberries. Chocaholic heaven.
We ended the day with a stroll down by the river, and then chilled with some pimms watching some guys strum their guitar and sing some tunes. They were obviously popular as there was a big crowd watching them. Well, that, or everyone was sat making the most of the sun (a rarity in London), and the guys took this as prime opportunity to perform!
It made me wonder whether this was something planned or open to anyone and everyone.
If I were to get up there and sing some songs, there'd definitely be an Ed Sheeran track, Oasis' 'Wonderwall' to get everyone singing along, and of course a 1D track, because it's me.
If only I could play the guitar! Any volunteers?

Think a tiny sip of wine or beer is harmless for your kids? On the contrary, a new study suggests that kids who taste alcohol early are more likely to become binge drinkers down the road.
In the study, researchers found that kids who'd tasted alcohol before starting sixth grade were five times more likely to imbibe a full drink by ninth grade, compared to their peers who've never touched the stuff.
What's more, these so-called "early sippers" were also four times more likely to get drunk or binge drink by the start of high school than the abstainers.
Moral of the story? Keep those drinks away from your kids! Although I'm not against drinking around your kids, I've never offered my 4-year-old a drop, even though she's asked. Because to me, even letting her have a small sip just sends the message to her that drinking alcohol is a-okay. So, no wonder it paves the way to more drinking later on!
More from The Stir: I Take My Toddler to Bars -- What's the Big Deal?
Now, I've also heard the whole "European" argument about how letting kids sip alcohol removes the taboo -- and the excitement -- so these kids grow up to be "mature" drinkers who don't go overboard.
Still, I'm more a fan of the "broccoli" argument, where we're told to feed our kids broccoli and other veggies early and often. Why? Since that way your kids are just accustomed to eating these foods, which will instill good eating habits they'll keep through life.
Well, the same happens with what they drink: If they're sipping early on, that's a habit they will likely keep, and build on, until voila, one day, they're downing jugs of Jameson in college. So why not be better safe than sorry and keep that glass of cabernet to yourself?
How do you feel about your child sipping alcohol?

JOHNSTOWN - — An Ethnic Extravaganza a project of the "Friends of The Steeples Project" (formerly Save Our Steeples), will be held at Ace's on Chestnut Street in Johnstown Feb. 24 with the doors opening at 6 p.m.
The event is the first official event of the group, which was formed to raise funds for the three churches, SS Casimir and Emerich, Immaculate Conception and St. Columba, recently purchased by 1901 Church Inc. Rose Howarth, of Johnstown, who helped found the Save Our Steeples organization with Marie Mock, said the money raised that evening would go towards upgrading the former Immaculate Conception Church.
"Since it is no longer a church, upgrades must be done like panic bars on doors and handicapped accessible bathrooms, in order to make it usable," she said.
Howarth said the group hopes to fill Aces with supporters and former parishioners at the fundraiser who want to see the church buildings remain viable.
"We will have a smorgasbord with haluski, pigs in the blanket, sheppard's pie, chili and the standards like hot dogs and chicken," she said.
Following the dinner, at 8 p.m. the Johnstown Classic Rockers will take to the stage.
"You can buy a ticket for to come for the dinner and the show or if you don't like rock and roll, you can just come to eat," she said.
In a way, Howarth said she has mixed feelings about the event.
"We are elated that we are at this stage, almost kind of surreal and excited to move into the future. There is also, a sad part of what this all means. They are no longer the churches that everyone has emotional ties to. We hope to make a mark and make a difference," she said. "This changes the whole mood of Cambria City."
Using the example of the Ethnic Festival held in Cambria City each summer she added, "They didn't know if the Ethnic Festival would survive, but it did stronger than ever. That is what we hope for our group."
The Friends of the Steeples Project hope to work towards smaller goals in the big picture to save the churches," Howarth said.
Gary Matolyak, the owner of Aces and a board member of 1901 Church Inc., agrees with Howarth about the exciting evening being planned. He said the group is planning a "monster party" for that night.
"We are inviting everyone to come to help kick off this fundraising event to get going with this challenge," he said.
Matolyak, himself, is donating the hall and most of the food, though he said, "We asked everyone involved with this project to bring a special ethnic dish, so we are going to have an unbelievable amount of ethnic food. We are not talking about five or six things; we are talking about 30 or more different dishes all homemade.
"In addition to all the great food, we are also going to feature one of the most professional local groups, the Johnstown Classic Rockers," he said.
Matolyak said because his business is not taking a penny out of what will be raised that evening, he feels it will be a great start for the project.
"I am so glad I have such a big edifice for this gigantic party. Seriously, we really need all the support we can get for these churches," he said. "This is a big undertaking, but they are so beautiful and should be saved."
A book and cd's about the churches will also be available for sale that night.
For more information, call 814-535-2499 or 814-539-0181. Tickets may be purchased in advance at Aces, the Bottleworks or Cambria City Flowers or at the door that evening.

Hearing the call to become an Internet personality is definitely not for anyone. I'm rather reluctant myself since it requires a lot of research, but alas I've been hunting for post-University work for years in all aspects of my (very diverse and lucrative) field. This is not the job market I was told about, but I'm lucky that at least I happen to have a talent that is incredibly valuable; higher quality content could be leveraged to a far more profitable level. Well its a strategy I'm not the first to think of. I just know that its probably the brightest idea that has a lot of potential to trend in 2015. And while I'm never the type to get bored, its about time I use all of what little power a 29 year old has to move forward.
If you're already on board the blogosphere, you understand how different your perception evolves from having more influencers in your life. Whether you believe everything they say or not. The real, hard truth is that some Canadians are emotionally handicapped, and I would argue that this is a far more limiting disability than any of that goblty-gook the psychiatrists go on about (particularly in locations that haven't achieve much progress in the mental health department). Well, I'm probably a little right and a little wrong….I am bad for speculating about things that just aren't resolvable (good thing I don't have any rules to follow).
But you know who I'm talking about, those people who either lack the spark of creativity or just haven't been taught how to access it. They're mean. I would probably ban them from the Internet, but I never seem to get my way in these matters. (The policy makers won't tweet back!) But really, once you get used to it, online bashing is actually more humorous because its stupid and ungrounded. Its sad to see a sensitive noob getting picked on though. Some people come online because they have no where to turn and maybe someone told them how successful a blog community has with healing. A lonely person who, say just moved away has the means to access the people they miss being around. I have one of those MASSIVE families, most of them whom I wouldn't have talked to in 10 years without a micro-blog. But I should address the negative side of being a content creator: its easy to get in a habit of over-thinking, or over-confidence and unintentionally defaming yourself (oh yes…I've engaged in this blunder), or to post when you've been drinking. Sometimes those judgy ones will never re-friend you.
But, like any human, I recall a less than ideal time in my life where I had this brilliant idea of becoming the next Hunter S. Thompson and lit the blog community on fire. Well, when one is in those real ruts of life…no matter who you are…your mind tends to wander. In retrospect I suspect most people were afraid to read me or comment. But..a couple people out there who happened to think like I do (or at least used to) gave me comments without any criticism and plenty of insight. It was amazing how they seemed to know what I was saying more than I even did (Oi.. them sneaky telepathics!) Always remember, having a ton of followers can be over-rated. You'd be better off to just post to the extra-terrestrials who are obviously reading.
You don't need talent, the only requirement is a little thought and a few real life experiences. My advise would be to take extra time and add your photography or whatever you can dream of. I'm busy as can be, but when I'm around I'll check it out. Everyone's different. I'm obviously a writer, so for me there's just no better way to organize my thoughts and move forward. And…as of yet, I haven't heard any of my catch-phrases or jokes stolen so someone else can profit off them. If they do, I'll probably sneakily make fun of them (not a perfect angel). My current goal is to be able to market my content, for socially responsible businesses, in a way that will actually entertain people and secure loyal consumers. Do you think I'm worth money? I just happen to be in the Canadian creative capitol (I'm a fierce tiger in this war-like market). I hope I can rise up to one of many of my dreams. But I'm only at this point because I have literally been doing this for over 15 years, since the dawn of the Internet, posting on the daily. At this point in my life there is almost nothing that would make me give up trying. Student loan debt-load tends to keep me awake at night.
One final topic I'd like to address is the nature of content. YOUR CONTENT CAN GET YOU ARRESTED! So be careful out there, and make sure you pay attention in Law class. The area I would suggest you brush up on is privacy law, just in case. No one needs to be an example. Just don't mention any person or company's names. Healthy paranoia is ok. If your up to the challenge of being smarter than those who don't participate in the conversation, carry on…there's quite a bit of fabulous reading out there that is far more empathetic and compelling than anything printed on paper Maybe you'll love it, and be a more capable individual as a result. Don't expect to get paid too soon or very much; there's a lot of misinformation around about that. Those famous content creators dedicate their entire lives to the gig (its an under-respected occupation as of now, another challenge for me to mull over if things work out). Oi, Canada's about to become sooooo much weirder……Wordpress has EXPLODED with new Canadian users this holiday season.
Comment, keep in touch, and try not be too degrading towards the dinosaurs who haven't embraced their special, and for some reason don't love us.

Releases and Announcements
Duane Morris Attorneys Receive Firm's Women's Impact Network for Success Awards
October 26, 2016
Karineh Khachatourian
Megan Worrell
PALO ALTO and NEW YORK, October 26, 2016—The Duane Morris Women's Impact Network for Success honored two attorneys for their efforts to advance women in the legal profession. Karineh Khachatourian, managing partner of Duane Morris' Silicon Valley office, received the Cheryl Bryson Leadership Award. Megan R. Worrell, a partner in the firm's New York office, received the Margery Reed Professional Excellence Award. The awards were presented during Duane Morris' annual firm-wide meeting.
The Cheryl Bryson Leadership Award recognizes significant contributions, including professional development, leadership and mentoring, made by a lawyer—regardless of gender—to women in the legal profession. The award is named in honor of the late Cheryl Blackwell Bryson, a Duane Morris partner in Chicago who died in January 2012 after a long battle with cancer. Bryson was a leader in many significant civic and community causes, and she was repeatedly honored throughout her career as a major pioneer, both as a female lawyer and as a lawyer of color. Likewise, Margery Reed spent her entire professional career as an attorney at Duane Morris including 24 years as a partner of the firm. As demonstrated by her numerous awards, including her admission as a Fellow in the prestigious American College of Bankruptcy, Reed was repeatedly recognized as one of the best commercial bankruptcy lawyers in the country. Clients had the utmost confidence in her because of her impressive depth of knowledge, meticulous preparation, calm and focused approach, and long standing track record of exemplary results. Reed was also universally respected by her adversaries as a zealous yet reasonable and civil advocate. Colleagues revered her because she routinely built consensus through her thoughtful way of seeking and incorporating input from the most junior to the most senior team members. A consummate partner, Reed was incomparably selfless in giving of her time and talents to assist her colleagues and mentor junior lawyers. She was a true professional in every sense and her unwavering commitment to her clients and colleagues, the firm and the profession of law is the reason this award for professional excellence is given in her name.
Khachatourian is a hi-technology intellectual property litigator and counselor. She is a member of the firm's governing Partners Board. Through her involvement with various Silicon Valley organizations, Khachatourian is deeply involved with women's initiatives to connect, develop, and advance women in the legal profession. She is an advisory board member of IP Counsel Café; serves on the executive committee and board and is co-lead of the General Counsel Network for Watermark, a group for executive women; a partner with Leading Women in Technology as well as with ChIPs, an organization dedicated to advancing women in IP law; and co-founder of Salonnieres, a social organization for women professionals. Khachatourian was recognized as one of Silicon Valley Business Journal's 2013 "Women of Influence" and was selected by The Recorder as one of its 2013 "Women Leaders in Tech Law." Khachatourian was also selected as a "Woman Who Made Her Mark" in 2012 by Watermark.
Khachatourian is a 1997 graduate of George Washington University Law School, where she was a member of Environmental Law Journal, and a magna cum laude graduate of New York University.
Worrell is the head of the International Practice division of Duane Morris' Wealth Planning Practice Group. She practices in the area of U.S. and international tax and wealth transfer planning, specifically assisting clients with cross-border issues to develop tax-efficient estate plans. Worrell's work involves foreign trusts, pre-immigration and expatriation planning, planning for the purchase of U.S. property by non-U.S. persons, asset transfers, beneficiary conflicts, and compliance with federal and state estate, gift, inheritance and income tax returns. She also has extensive experience with clients who have made voluntary disclosures to the IRS, including disclosure of overseas accounts and compliance with reporting obligations for those with overseas interests. Prior to and while attending law school, Worrell worked as a tax consultant at Arthur Andersen and Deloitte & Touche.
Worrell is a 2003 graduate of Fordham University School of Law, where she was a member of the Fordham International Law Journal, and a graduate of Widener University (M.S., taxation, summa cum laude) and Salisbury State University (B.S., accounting, summa cum laude). She serves as vice chair and program committee chair of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) New York and is on the International Bar Association's Individual Tax and Private Client Committee.

Yes, you have the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Smithsonian in Washington DC but the buzz of music, art and film finds its way down into everyday life, with citizens as often creating as consuming. From Toronto's film festival to Mexico City's thriving music scene, North America is a veritable smorgasbord of enlightening experiences just waiting to be uncovered.
However, even the most hardcore urban and suburbanites are forced to stop and gawp when confronted with the sheer natural beauty that is their homeland. Whether you're relaxing on a virtually undiscovered beach, racing down the slopes of the Great White North or scaling the iconic crags of the Grand Canyon – North America is certain to take your breath away.
In this land, adventure is king. Venture on a Canadian wilderness trek, buckle up for the legendary road trip along Route 66 or explore ancient rites at mysterious Maya and Aztec ruins. Whatever your travel dreams, North America offers a kaleidoscope of cultures, cuisines, landscapes, history and adventures that are bound to fulfil.

These tours & activities make it easy:
- Uncover the splendours of America's national parks

The playwright Arthur Miller once said that the essence of America was its promise. For newly arrived immigrants and jet-lagged travelers alike, that promise of America can take on near mythic proportions. America is a land of dazzling cities, towering coast redwoods, alpine lakes, rolling vineyards, chiseled peaks, barren deserts and a dramatic coastline of unrivaled beauty. And that's just California!
In the other 49 lie an astounding collection of natural and cultural wonders, from the wildly multihued tapestry of urban streets to the mountains, plains and forests that cover vast swaths of the continent. America is the birthplace of LA, Las Vegas, Chicago, Miami, Boston and New York City – each a brimming metropolis whose name alone conjures a million different notions of culture, cuisine and entertainment.

Reviews 1
Publisher's Weekly Review
From its subtitle, Jones's book would appear to be a how-to manual, complete with step-by-step instructions for setting up a schedule for devotions and penciling retreats into your day planner. However, his approach is subtler, a cultivation of what might be called "mindfulness." Jones describes his own progress of "awakening" to the meaning and beauty of ordinary events and of other people. He includes anecdotes of others' experiences as he unfolds his own spiritual growth. The book's 12 chapters cover aspects of daily life such as jobs and routine, chance encounters and sought companions, the reality of suffering and the inevitability of death. Jones's engaging storytelling leads readers to find the holy in everyday life. Readers who enjoy the work of Henri Nouwen and Richard Foster will welcome Jones's thoughtful and gentle writing style.

ExcerptsYou Don't Have to Be a Saint You turn us toward yourself through wondrous means. AUGUSTINE One day, years ago, something simple and quiet nudged me awake. I was hitting my teens, coping with the normal energies and anxieties of adolescence. Momentous events unfolded around me--assassinations, campus sit-ins, a draft that threatened to send my brother to Vietnam. But like nearly everyone else in my Southern California suburb in 1968, I lived an ordinary life. I thought mostly about everyday matters--friends, parents, life at Columbus Junior High. But late one October afternoon as I walked home from school, the God of all things made his presence vividly felt. It was simple, really. I had been noticing how clearly I could see the craggy hills in the distance after an autumn wind swept the valley clean of smog. A yellowing sun cast long shadows on the sidewalk. The breezy coolness felt good on my cheeks. And I sensed with sudden elation that God was there. As I say, this was no complicated encounter; the clouds did not form themselves into a sky-written message from the Great Beyond. I don't think I told anyone. But the childhood God I had lobbed prayers to, the being I had vaguely reverenced on Sundays, somehow became a compelling Presence. I knew deep in my soul, perhaps for the first time, that God was. I couldn't foresee it then, but that encounter began to effect a change that would take years to fathom. Life went on in normal ways. I grew into an adult, moved East to attend grad school, met my future wife, fell out and reconciled with my parents, fathered children, changed careers more than once. But I found myself wondering about staying aware. How could I not lose track of the goodness that touched me that afternoon? Through the years, through the joys and things I cannot understand, I have tried to keep my eyes wide open. I have tried to listen to my soul's stirrings, those impulses I may brush past on a busy day. For while I believe that there is no place where God is not, I sometimes overlook the Presence. Distractions and drowsy eyes keep me from seeing. It's right there, "under our noses," I once heard someone say. We live in a "God-bathed world," philosopher and writer Dallas Willard suggests.1 But then I forget how spiritually rich even ordinary moments are, how precious the people with whom I rub shoulders. Only every now and then do most of us really see and hear with our souls. But at least some of the time we can stand before everyday wonders and not be preoccupied, not be so emotionally tired we forget to look. We can learn to heed our soul's best intuitions. These daily awakenings arrive in great variety. "There are many kinds of awakening that God effects in the soul," wrote poet and priest John of the Cross centuries ago, "so many that we would never finish explaining them all."2 They may come with palpable intensity while others may overtake us gently. I remember insights that came with the weight of a conversion, others as a bare touch. Awareness of God can come suddenly or gradually. Something tries to catch our attention, invites us to "look this way." And we want to respond. We want to stay awake. Some years ago I saw the movie Awakenings (based loosely on the book by that title). The main character, played by Robert De Niro, suffers from a disorder that robs him of virtually all consciousness. He is left catatonic, almost comatose. He walks, he opens his eyes, he sees, but only in the vaguest way. Then a drug is found that helps De Niro awaken. Once again he notices people, especially his mother and an attractive young woman who frequents the hospital to visit her father. Now, when he opens his eyes, his whole self sees. He and his fellow patients rediscover dancing, talking, romancing. The ward rollicks with people given back their lives. But the drug soon has intolerable side effects. The awakening doesn't last. De Niro descends again into the world of half-living, what looks to the outsider as being alive but asleep. It makes for a poignant ending. When it comes to waking up spiritually, however, another way is possible. Our quiet experiences and "Aha!" moments lead somewhere. They need not be like a list of New Year's resolutions that sits in the bottom of a desk drawer, forgotten. In my experience, encountering God is an ongoing, unfolding way of life. What I describe in this book grows out of conversations with dozens of friends and even strangers, seeing up close how they tried, or failed and tried again. I write having ransacked the writings and stories of great souls through the centuries. I found that nothing less than a picture of a yawning soul shaking off sleep--again and again--captures the power of what can happen. This is the promise of that October afternoon years ago in California when I felt overtaken by the sudden awareness of a Presence. This is the promise of your own life's ordinary and not-so-ordinary moments. In a kitchen, on the subway, sharing coffee with a neighbor, reading the paper on the backyard deck, it's possible not to miss God. Possible not to sleep through his appearing. Possible to live, because of that, with a God-graced awareness of others. But how? Let Waking Up Happen Naturally, Gently I remember one predawn Christmas morning when I was eleven. I had spent months fashioning homemade drums out of kitchen pans, stretching brown paper over the rims, holding the paper fast with rubber bands. My cymbals were pan lids. My drumsticks, chopsticks. I made primitive rhythm and my "drums" were inadequate. But this Christmas I expected my first real instrument--a snare drum. At dawn I sneaked out to our living room, long before anyone else was awake, and there it was. I touched its taut, sandpapery drum head, admired its chrome, felt the smooth hickory drumsticks, but only briefly, so as not to be caught snooping. I went back to bed, happy. Later, when the family called me out, shielding the drum with a blanket, then dropping it with a flourish to reveal the longed-for gift, I feigned surprise. But I had been long awake, watching. Natural curiosity and anticipation would not let me stay sleeping. Something similar happens to our souls, our spirits--whatever you name that part of us that senses and responds to the Divine. "The simple desire for God is already the beginning of faith," I once read. Even in our souls' longing and wanting we are already beginning to wake up. No equipment is required save a seeking heart. "There is that near you," wrote an old Quaker seeker, "that will guide you. Wait for it, and be sure to keep to it." No matter if you feel out of practice. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Aircraft fly into Portugal wildfire fight
Portuguese firefighters are being reinforced from the air, as concern grows over forest fires in several districts. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NATURAL) - NO REPORTER NARRATION STORY: Air reinforcements were called on Thursday (September 8) to combat fires in the districts of Faro, Bragança, Vila Real and Guarda, which are of most concern to authorities, Portuguese network SIC reported on it's website. In Lagoaça, in the district of Bragança, northeastern Portugal, 6 aircraft including helicopters were battling the blaze which began on Tuesday (September 6) and had spread to neighboring Mogadouro. The Portuguese National Civil Protection Authority (ANPC) told SIC, there were 233 crews on the the ground and 84 vehicles working in the fires in Lagoaça and Fornos. Deadly wildfires raging for two weeks in Portugal in August destroyed a wooded area the size of 100,000 soccer fields. The small Iberian nation alone accounts for half of all forests burned in the European Union this year.

The former Roma winger has sealed a return to Italy, joining the Rossoneri on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.
During his previous stint in Serie A at the Stadio Olimpico between 2008 and 2011, Menez was branded a 'problem player' because of a number of off-field incidents but the 27-year-old insists that he has matured in the intervening years.
"Am I a bad boy? The 'fact' that I am a bad boy - excuse the term - is rubbish," the Frenchman told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"People have a false picture of me and I want to prove that I am a quiet person on and off the field.
"I'm not saying that I have always been a saint but I am now grown up; I feel different. In Rome, I was young, I went wrong two or three times and I realised I made mistakes.
"As for those who judge me badly as a footballer, I say that in the first two seasons at PSG I managed almost 20 goals and 30 assists.
"This could be my year. My objectives are to take us back to the Champions League and to win something in this shirt, and to return to the national team."
Menez also revealed that new Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi was the main reason behind his move to San Siro.
"He had a discussion with me that convinced me straight away," the attacker said. "He is why I chose Milan.
"I feel a great understanding with the coach. I cannot fail because he is providing so much for me and I would give anything for him.
"I already knew him as a player, of course. He had so much charisma and was very determined, just like now. He told me he had spoken of me on the phone with Carlo Ancelotti, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva, asking what I was like on the field and as a person. I know they have said nice things about me so I have to thank them."

Charlie Smyth and the Newry Panto Players to create mayhem in Lislea!
September 15, 2014
"Cupid Wore Skirts" by Sam Cree, The Old School House Theatre, Lislea
Lislea warmly welcomes the return of Charlie Smyth and the Newry Panto Players with the hilarious three act comedy penned by the famed Lisburn playwright on Saturday 20th September at 8pm.
This popular show has audiences rolling in the aisles with laughter and Charlie Smyth's production will not disappoint. The play is set in the home of antique dealer Andrew Coulter, a widower who lives with his elderly father and teenage son, Brian. His married daughter, Daphne, comes in each day to take care of the men and ensure they are coping. When Daphne becomes pregnant she fears for her male relatives' ability to cope.
Andrew's sister in law is convinced they will not be able to manage and makes a wager that he couldn't get a new wife within a fortnight. Andrew advertises for a wife in the forlorn hope that he will win the bet and obtain a solution to his problems.
Blending the customary potpourri of Cree characters the play races along to the inevitable conclusion but not before audiences are treated to a hilarious evening of comedy and mayhem that are the hallmarks of Sam Cree's writing.
As this is a very popular show, patrons are advised to come early to avoid disappointment! Tickets are priced at £6 and are available at the door. Curtain up at 8pm sharp.

A very alluring mix of wintery wood smoke, slight Bourbon vanilla and fallen oak leaves crushed underfoot frames restrained notes of red fruit. There is the most seductive, barely glanced notion of elderberry. The palate is silky and dwells on the autumnal aspects of Pinot but comes with immense elegance, tender white pepper notes and a store of profound fruit. There is a fine-grained density and real structure beneath this smooth surface. Be patient and give this wine its due and drink 2018–2025.

I have done some further testing of the updates and I can tell now why the updates are not occurring. It is because of the way that you have information in the tables. In order for an update to work the record that you are updating must already exist in the table. It looks like your tables are lookup tables that just maintain the information about the relationship of the amenities to the type and location.
As an example here is one of the update queries that the server behavior was trying:
UPDATE `amenitiesother` SET `amenitiesID` = 60, `resortID` = 310 WHERE `otheramenitiesID`=60
This update will not occur because there is no otheramenitiesID id that is set to 60. I think that you should be using the Manage Relational Table server behavior for this. When you set it up you should make sure to reference the resortID value from the URL then bind the amenityID is set to the value from the form. The id of this table should be handled for you so you do not need to worry about that value.

Ever noticed how we seem to live life surrounded by mirrors. Recently, I had the unfortunate experience of looking into a mirror at exactly the WRONG moment.
I was in the ladies' change-room at gym, transitioning from Pilates to swimming when I had the misfortune to look up. And behold looking right back at me was Humpty Dumpty. And what's more… a female Humpty Dumpty in a swimming costume!
Only someone who has lived inside my head and body can possibly imagine the horror of that moment. Inside my head… my self-discipline plus all the hours of swimming, walking and Pilates is making a difference. Inside my head, my body is strong and athletic… (irrespective of arthritis, age and adipose).
Then, in a single moment, the mirror stripped me of all my illusions (delusions?). Instead of the lean, mean, strong bodied image that inhabits my head, I was face-to-face with a body that looked like an egg!
Yes. an egg! A symptom of ageing, you suggest. Well, maybe but how did I arrive at 57, completely unprepared for this? Sure, like most women, I had been told about body shapes (viz. pear and apple) but never in all my weight-watching years, has anyone ever mentioned the egg shape.
Nevertheless, there it was (reflected in a change-room mirror in full life-like 3D). An egg-shaped, costumed torso, little legs, little arms, little head. A sight that left me wondering why we insist on putting mirrors in a change-room shared by countless other women.
I am guessing the young souls among us, revel in them (mirrors I mean). After all, this is the selfie generations. For my generation, however, the only thing worse than sighting oneself in the mirror, is that "horror of horrors" – a photograph of oneself. (With apologies to the exceptions among us of course). Never before in the history of women-kind has there been a greater divide between the generations.
Which gave me pause to consider if this could be remedied by creating a separate "mirror-less" adjunct to the change-room for the more mature ladies among us. Then I reminded myself that no self-respecting mature woman would ever design walk through a door restricted to "older" woman. That would be admitting far too much to far too many.
So I guess we have to come to terms with mirrors shouting our truth back at us. Which got me wondering, Isn't that precisely why we need them in our lives? Who among us could ever navigate life purposefully and successfully if we never took the time to take a good long, hard, cold look at ourselves?
How can we make the necessary tweaks and adjustments that make us better people, if we never reflect on our faults and failings? Living a life without mirrors would be tantamount to steering a ship without ever taking its bearings, flying a plane without ever looking up or driving to an unknown destination without looking at a map.
Perhaps, instead of avoiding mirrors, we should all surround ourselves with them. That way, we will not only keep stock of our lives but also see the positive changes wrought by making the right choices at the right times.
So, the next time someone holds a mirror up to you, go ahead and look, look into it deeply, I dare you. At worst you will be confronted by areas in your life that need adjusting, at best you will have cause to celebrate the positives. And, while you are at it, for goodness sake, take time to laugh a little.

While Pretrial Advocacy is one component of the advocacy experience, and quite frankly an important one, you should always consider where pretrial advocacy fits into the entire litigation process – using it to complement and support the representation of your client. In a certain sense this is a journey to discover how the system of civil adjudication works, to develop pretrial advocacy skills, and to combine your knowledge of the law with your persuasive skills – making you a superior advocate for your client. My ultimate goal is to empower you to put your clients in the best possible position to reach their litigation goals. Regardless of your level of expertise, our time together should help you develop practical and insightful analysis into the dynamics of pretrial advocacy.
We will combine this practical outlook with analysis that offers an appreciation of, and discussion about, the broader issues that matter to advocates everywhere. These broader issues arise under the topics of ethics, professionalism and the major policies implicated by pretrial adjudication in the United States. These broader perspectives help light the way and uncover the pitfalls awaiting unwary litigation travelers. Pretrial Advocacy is one component of the advocacy experience. Superior Advocates will consider where pretrial advocacy fits into the adjudicative process – using it to complement and support the representation of the client.
To appreciate pretrial advocacy, you should reflect upon where the pretrial process fits into civil adjudication. Every civil matter begins with a client having a legal problem that requires the expertise and guidance of an advocate. These legal problems are as diverse as the permutations of human behavior. They spring forth as issues based in large part upon human nature, and the human story underneath the surface of the legal issue is often the most persuasive issue that a jury will have interest in. While this type of persuasive issue is often not controlling during the pretrial litigation, advocates would be well advised to remain sensitive to the issue behind the issue. If and when the case becomes a trial, those human issues become an integral part of case analysis and the development of legal theories, factual theories and moral themes.
I call this approach to taking care of clients the Problem, the Prize, and the Process. In my next post will talk about how to use that structure to get started.

> I know it is OK now to not have solved all of my life's challenges

I love this and I'm glad to see that it happens at some point! My 30s have been great so far (especially in comparison to my 20s), but I still occasionally suffer from grass-is-greener syndrome and feel that other people are further ahead in solving life's challenges. In reality, I suspect most people never feel like they've got everything figured out; they just learn that that's okay!

I'm not au fait with skiing parlance, but I hope you nail an Ollie too. Good luck!

I just turned 49 and I look back at my 20 something self after my first marriage ended amicably as possible and I went skiing for fifteen years and smile.

Believe me I wasn't smiling at the time sleeping in a Chevy Blazer in the Duffy Pass somewhere north of Whistler but it all came together in a blur of amazing moments in the now.

And now...49 ... left my job in fashion and luxury with the help of a boss that it was never going to work out with, spent a week climbing mountain passes and playing with my kids and suddenly Ali find I have shifted my view....I am looking forward:

I am looking forward to 50 with my eyes wide open, with the same same hope and optimism I had when I was 39 or maybe 29. I have learned the five lessons... you nailed them ... and I long for those singularly epic moments I used to string into days and years and I wake up and love every day because I know it is OK now to not have solved all of my life's challenges and it's OK that my ski pants don't quite fit like they used to - you thought only women tho k that? ;) - it's OK that I need reading glasses and it's OK that I don't honestly know if I will be with my wife forever in every moment.

When I was 39 I called it the year of 40 ... and I spent a lot of time looking back and conquering things I had never done, now, in the year of 50, I am back to loving today and myself and finding new challenges and inspirations - like nailing an Ollie and picking up No-boarding with my kids - LOL. And maybe being able to just tell the people I care for how I feel without expectation or regret.

Thank you for the reminder of once upon a time. I am so inspired by your words and how well you know yourself Kia. Donsomethjng you love today everyone.

The advantage of being a teenager in this age is that you get to learn from all the mistakes made by the second-gens before you.

I love this quote forever and it perfectly sums up the typical Asian mothers and fathers (in some cases) who prefer their sons as they are next in line to the throne or will be able to carry on their lineage. I am coming to terms with this concept in my very conservative narrow minded family however your words make me realise that it is not just me. You are very lucky to have sisters you can rely one. Being a very young teenager your words are very encouraging and I know that although being female carries many challenges I am very content with who I am regardless of these narrow minded misconceptions Asian parents hold. I hope that your relationship with your mother will heal as mine does. Thank you and Good luck! (Preach on sista lol, had to put that in there)!

Thank you. I did join, but left within the year. Basically, you get a poorly designed magazine once a month along and an invitation to go and mix with other Mensa members. I wasn't really excited by the prospect of either so cancelled my membership.

It's interesting what you say about forging your own path (I said something along those lines in my comment to Sandra above). You said, "Not many can choose or steer their own life as much as they want (if they want to). I tried and sort of did it, but have come to realise that I suppose I... failed?"

I don't think you should see it as failure. One of my favouite quotes pretty much says what I think: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."Kia Abdullahhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-25776702.post-6404584972030230922012-05-05T09:55:02.111+01:002012-05-05T09:55:02.111+01:00> Saraccino/Claire I'm glad to hear that th...> Saraccino/Claire
I'm glad to hear that things have changed for you. I wonder if you are right about forgiveness. I've never taken an active decision about this (i.e. "I will start forgiving my mother TODAY") but over time, our relationship has become better. Maybe that's the best I can hope for, not only because of the past but because of the present. I wrote about my family in a post last year and in it I say, "My youngest sister is still at home. I tell her I know how she feels, but, more than fear or anger, I know she feels abandonment. And it's true. We all abandoned that house the first chance we got."

Last week, I had dinner with just my little sister for the first time in possibly a year. She spoke of the situation and how she can't leave the house because she has to protect my mother from my brother's outburts. It broke my heart because that feeling of needing to protect should be directed the other fucking way. I didn't say anything because I felt the same anger I've felt for many years. So, yes, maybe making a decision to forgive is pretty pointless when you're emotions run differently.Kia Abdullahhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-25776702.post-67080376788956330282012-05-05T09:52:24.217+01:002012-05-05T09:52:24.217+01:00> Sandra Maybe there isn't a rule.

Maybe there isn't a rule. Maybe some of us do find 'there' and the rest of us don't. I've certainly heard older people (post-40) say that their 40s have been their best years yet so perhaps we just have to wait a bit longer.

I read an illuminating article in the Guardian that may interest you. The comments are the most insightful. Some are funny, some poignant, but they all show that life is rambling and random, it can be big and generous or small and unforgiving. What I will say is that as I grow older, I find myself losing my faith in this idea of 'destiny'. Maybe we're all in total control of ourselves, which means we can change our lives should we so wish.Kia Abdullahhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-25776702.post-89400475423008912012-05-03T18:00:28.891+01:002012-05-03T18:00:28.891+01:00Hi Kia, almost happy birthday to you. I have neve...Hi Kia, almost happy birthday to you.

I have never heard of you until today - though stumbled on this post and some of your articles. Did you ever end up joining Mensa?

You seem to have some sort of overall perspective; open-minded and thinking... enough for me to be bothered with writing a comment. Much of what(how) you write feels oddly familiar, I will probably buy a book or two then return here for a follow-up comment.

Your five truths are interesting (not sure if I am entirely honest or not, maybe just being kind) but difficult concepts for people to grasp.

In particular, "don't be with somebody you don't love". I even agree to the extent where you, given the luxury of options, should not need to socialise with somebody you aren't especially fond of. Be it friends or friends' friends or even family!

Not many can choose or steer their own life as much as they want (if they want to). I tried and sort of did it, but have come to realise that I suppose I... failed?

So to my 20 year old self: Yes, you can do whatever you want, create your own path and walk it. You will probably succeed because you're good at succeeding so go ahead and do it, but let me warn you: when you get there, there's no 'there' there.

Cheers

But no, you do...I know that this may sound strange. But no, you don't have to forgive your mother. You also shouldn't keep all the feeling which were created during your childhood. In the end all what matters is not guilt but what you make of your own life. If you can live it without hard feeling and without being caught in the past. I think it is important to know why and how one react to certain "trigger" and to free oneself from this. To forgive someone for something, to be honest, for me this is not letting it go. Because there still is all the bad which could be forgiven. All the things still inside oneself. Also to forgive is more like an active decision but emotions created during the childhood are sitting really deep and not in the mind. The reaction one has if one hears a certain music, if one smells something familiar... and the body reacts, the emotions react. If the things go, there is also nothing to forgive anymore because there is nothing more which keeps one in the past. But maybe there is a chance to learn / to know the person the own mother is in a new way (if one wants to). It won't ever be the mother a little child learns to know and trust but maybe one learn the person to know which the own mother really is.

I am now 32 and I am free from a lot of things in my past / in my childhood for the first time ever. It is not easy to explain. It feels like breathing free and easy. I am in a new relationship now, the first one for years and it was not the world which changed. Just me. I love my family, I really do. And just now, learning to keep a little distance (not to react to every single word in which an assault or judgement could be hidden) and realizing (being very surprised) that this allows me to let them come near me. That it is okay not to solve every problem by my own. That I don't have to be strong always. That the people who loves me like to help me because this is their way to show that they care. To help each other is not creating weakness but a way of bonding. I am still struggling from time to time but I don't ever want to go back to my former self. Because the world is bigger now and brighter.

Your post comes just in a perfect time for me. I'm in my twenties, in a stage where I doubt my skills and abilities, the questions "Will i ever make it" and "Is this the right professional path for me" are bothering me day and night. I know from your point of view these worries probably look pea-sized, but if you were in my place, wondering which way to take...it is like walking with closed eyes.
I always try to stay positive and tell myself, it's not about the destination, it's about the journey. So enjoy it. But sometimes we are so into the journey, getting lost, that we forget to watch the sights outside.
How do you know if you're going to achieve your dream? How do you know that is the right dream/destination for you? And on the marriage topic, how can you be sure this is real love/the person you want to spend the rest of your life with?

Thanks, glad you enjoyed. You make a good point. My initial instinct was to disagree (after all, if it wasn't human nature to want more, why have we built roads and cars and microwaves?) but there are lots of people that ARE happy with the simple life and lots more who crave it so maybe you're right.

>Human beings are hard-wired to want more; to chase the next thrill; to set the next goal; to want bigger, better, faster and NOW.

This isn't human nature, it's conditioning by modern society. There was a time not so long ago where people didn't "chase the dream" but were happy with their lot. Either way, good for you for realising happiness is internal and controlable.

Oh and I would say to my 20 year old self not to assume that things will fall into his lap automatically or as a matter of course. And I'm sure he'll know what I mean by "things".Shakhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com

First of all, good job Apple. However I don't think it was the best job possible. iPad is cool, but seriously it's a giant iPod Touch with 3g/Kindle. With the iPad you pretty much can do anything that an iPhone can except make calls. Sure you get to look at a 9.7″ screen aside to a 3″+ screen, but I would rather have a Macbook Pro with a Touchscreen. To me that seems more usable than an iPad. Most apple users already have either an iPhone and/or iPod Touch. What's one more product that can't do the full features of a computer?
To me, a Macbook pro with a touchscreen :
images via Gizmodo
now this has been out for a while, but to send in your laptop to have them install a touchscreen for $1000+ isn't ideal. But for Apple to come out with something in this matter, would be respected by a larger audience (I believe).
Just my $0.02. Even though the consumerist in me tells me that I want the iPad, I'm not so crazy about it.
Though I think like many of the Apple Apps, this product might be ideal for stores or boutiques like IMD to produce and application that leads a virtual terminal for products and custom jobs (i.e. custom bike builds). If there was an app that we could somehow use to virtually create a bike piece by piece, component by component, then I would seriously consider purchasing the iPad.
Still, good job Apple with another amazing product, just not mind blowing for me.

In the Shadow of Akimbo Corporatism: Arched Athleticism and the Becoming-Human of 'a People'
Golding, Johnny (2016) In the Shadow of Akimbo Corporatism: Arched Athleticism and the Becoming-Human of 'a People'. Deleuze Studies, 10 (2). pp. 263-279. ISSN 1750-2241Full text not available from this repository.
The importance of Deleuze and Deleuze and Guattari's development of 'encounter' is brought into sharp relief as key to the notion of 'athleticism'. Here, each is developed as indispensable to the other, forming an a-radical/ana-material groundless ground to power, politics, literary sensibility, indeed sense itself. This nuanced encounter produces an acephaletic knowledge, a body-knowledge, without the Ego-I. In an age of massifying systems, drone warfare and horrific migrations, where corporate tentacles bend the rules akimbo, one finds that this turn to a Deleuzian athleticism offers a different kind of political analysis, a radical difference, which, despite (or because of) the odds, enables a politics of hope and indeed, of a 'becoming-human'.
