Month: June 2011
Overview of June's posts
So the month started with a background story to "The Day Akela Died," giving out some information on what inspired the story. Also I provided a sneak peek on what stories would be coming up soon inshaAllah. If you haven't received your copy, make sure to check it out here.
Then we discussed a bit on The Masks People Wear, and that brought on a lot of comments from readers who connected with that post, leading to a compilation of comments on The Masks People Wear – Comments. Then I disappeared for 11 days and returned with a post that was not exactly that popular titled the Effects of More Facebook-Like Inventions. The topic came up once when my friend and I had one of the longest chat ever that stretched to the wee hours of the morning. But you can tell from the many comments – or lack thereof – that people's interest was not piqued enough…or maybe, people other than RetireWannabee didn't have anything to contribute with.
The next post was Passionate about Your Work? and people did have a lot to say on that one. Following that was a transition from job issues to relationship issues on Relationships Worth Fighting for and Family Worth Fighting For. And finally the month ended with some productivity tools to help you keep track of things such as time, goals, religious obligations and writing, in 6 Cool Tools to Help You Keep Track.
It has been quite an interesting month I must say and even though I wasn't as productive as I should have been, but reader's contributions on my blog made up for that. Thank you all for continuously supporting and sharing this blog. Thank you for all your comments, and emails, and twitter retweets.
The journey is not over, and if you're wondering what I have planned for next month inshaAllah, check this out…
6 Cool Tools to Help You Keep Track
So today, I thought of sharing with you some of the tools I personally use to keep track of certain actions/goals in my life. I've always been an avid reader in the field of Goal Setting and Personal Development. The very first book I read on this was the Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz. I always found it quite interesting how we as Muslims have so many jewels in our religion and yet we don't really use it or utilize it, when other people sit, study and work hard to come up with "discoveries" that have been part of our lives for a long time. For example, a lot of these books state that the biggest motivation for achieving something can be found in 'gaining pleasure or running away from pain', and if you think about it, when we're told to do good deeds and avoid bad, it's either to go to Heaven – gaining pleasure – or stay away from Hell – running away from pain – in the Hereafter. Then some people say that to make sure that a habit sticks, you have to continuously do it for 30 days, which makes you think of the discipline gained through the Holy Month of Ramadan. In the Magic of thinking Big, the author spoke about the importance of smiling, and it's Sunnah to smile. There are many other examples, so in short, we can enjoy our lives without much of the Westerners' philosophies. However it's really interesting if you're seeking knowledge pertaining human psychology, and to read on modern methods and tools to improve your life.
Productivity Tip #1: Keep Track
So one way to discipline yourself to achieving results you'd desire is to keep track of everything. If you want to lose weight, you'd keep track of the number of hours you spend in the gym. If you want to do well in school, you'd keep track of the time you spend studying. If you want to be more productive, you'd want to keep track – and minimize – the time wasted on social networks such as Facebook. If you want to manage your money, you'd want to keep track of your expenses. So without further ado, here are the tools I personally use;
1) Excel Sheet. What can be more efficient than a properly labeled excel sheet? You can add tables of hours spent working, hours spent in the gym, money spent, and then it's just simple maths…
Okay, I know that was no brainer, but other things I like to outsource such as…
2) 750words.com. To keep track of the words I freewrite, I use 750words.com. By freewriting, I mean unconstrained, unedited writing. I normally track my proper writing on tool # 1. The cool thing about 75owords is that it disciplines you, and personally, a lot of blog ideas come out of the rubbish I post there daily.
3) QamarDeen.This is a really cool iphone application to record your prayers, Quraan reading, charity and fasting. You can easily download it from the app store. More on it here. I first read about it on Dxbgirl's blog.
4) Toggl.com. This helps you keep track of time. Personally, I haven't started using it yet, but I would like…when I have the time.
5) Goodreads.com helps you keep track of books you're reading or want to read. It helps you connect with your friends so you can check their bookshelves and reviews on books. It's quite useful though I have to admit I don't update my profile that often.
6) A notebook and pencil to keep track of your ideas throughout the day. Technically, any idea-capturing device would do; a voice recorder, an email to yourself, phone notes….
What other tools do you like to use to help yourself be productive?
A Family Worth Fighting For
An excerpt from "From Sarah With Pain" (a by-now-very-dead project I worked on back in 2008);
You know, once upon a time, I used to love the word 'family' until I discovered that most family members took their kinship for granted; people who think that they have the right to hurt somebody just because they are related to them; people who stamp on each other for the sake of materialistic gains; people who no longer respect the word, 'family', and maybe I am the same, but I'm neither the first person nor the person to be like that.
Following up on Relationships worth fighting for, let's focus today on family. The equations of family relationships are supposed to be the easiest in the sense that you tend to carry unconditional love for people who are related to you by blood, right? Also in Islam, upholding the ties of kinship is obligatory, and it is explained by the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when he said: "The one who maintains a relationship with his relatives only because they maintain a relationship with him is not truly upholding the ties of kinship. The one who truly upholds those ties is the one who does so even if they break off the relationship." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 5645). [1]
When people are younger, they may respect the word 'family,' defending their siblings when they get into trouble so they end up into trouble together, but as they grow older something happens. Maybe it has something to do with "Familiarity Breeds Contempt" (or to be more exact, "Family Breeds Contempt"). Maybe other people enter the equation in the form of wives-husbands-in-laws and result in disequilibrium. Or maybe they decide to put their money together in the form of a family business, which puts one of two things at risk; either the business or the relationship. Or maybe they just grow up and grow apart, developing their different personalities that act like sodium and water, so that the status of the relationship disintegrates with time.
Whatever the reason, I don't think it's justified, because in the end family is family, and upholding ties of kinship is a religious kinship.
Quote ; "I don't care how poor a man is; if he has family, he's rich."
Relationships Worth Fighting For?
The other day I read a very interesting quote on my twitter feed. Somebody had posted, "You fight with the most important people in your life because those are the relationships worth fighting for."
It made me think, how true is that statement?
Think about it. When two people find themselves in a heated argument, screaming angry words at each other about how "you are wrong, and I am right" does that necessarily translate to being dentrimental to their relationship? Or could arguing actually be healthy for their relationships?
Successful relationships are based on mutual respect, trust and honest two-way communication. Depending on the situation, honest two-way communication could also mean arguments or "constructive debates" (analogous to constructive feedback).
In biology, it is known that tear ducts produce tears to clean, moisten and lubricate the eyes. That keeps the eyes in good shape. Similarly, arguments can be healthy to some relationships. People may let out their negative feelings about each other be known. As a result of that, the other person knows if there is a habit that bugs you so they could change it. It helps clean the air between them, and weed out any misunderstandings that could exist between them. Also after the argument, if the relationship survives, then the two people have a new reference point to which they can point and say, "If we survived that, then we could survive the next argument."
Plus from my experience, there are some people are amazingly unaware of things like hints, or codes or diplomatic talk, especially guys (sorry guys). They need to be told things explicitly in detailed steps; 1, 2, 3…and if you miss a step then you lose them. So if you really think about it, arguments could be used to keep a relationship healthy.
But what if arguments don't necessarily patch up relationships? What if the relationship slowly erodes with every argument until the day something major happens and the relationship goes to a point of no-return. This usually happens when people don't play by the rules of a healthy argument. When a 'healthy' argument ends, both sides need to learn the lesson that they needed to take from that argument and 'move on'. In other words, they need to delete the argument permanently and not bring it up over and over again in future arguments. Bringing it up again is what makes the argument harmful to the relationship.
At least, that's one way of looking at it, what do you think? Do you think that arguments could be healthy or are they always damaging?

Letter: Town Meeting Members Proposing Zoning Change for Landlocked Forest
The following is a Letter to the Editor:
To the Editor:
Four Town Meeting members, Jonathan Sachs, Joanna Schlansky, Monte Pearson, and John Iler are submitting a Warrant Article requesting that the January 2017 Town Meeting change the zoning status of the Burlington Landlocked Forest from General Industrial to Open Space. We believe that the current zoning status of the forest reflects an outdated understanding of its importance to the town. In fact the forest is a recreational, water preserving, pollution-absorbing asset that can serve important needs without being paved over.
The forest is a recreational asset because there is legal pedestrian access right now. The Turning Mill Road Conservation Area in Lexington borders on the forest and from that facility's parking lot, anyone can walk unimpeded into the forest's extensive trail network. In the last few years, hundreds of Burlington residents have done just that, delighted to have a peaceful walk and enjoy its trees, animals, plants, birds, and greenery. (Visit www.landlockedforest.com and click on "Detailed Trail Map."
The forest also absorbs and cleans rainwater. When Burlington Town Meeting voted in 1986, by a two-thirds majority, to purchase the Landlocked Forest, they were very aware of the vital role the forest plays in purifying rain water that runs off into the town's water supply. Most of the Landlocked Forest is in our Zone 3 Water Protection District, which drains into the Vine Brook aquifer located along the Middlesex Turnpike.
By zoning the forest as Open Space, we can prevent a large development with office buildings and condos from coming to the 250-acre site. This type of development would exacerbate existing problems. For example, the only outlet from the site would be a large bridge over Rt. 3 that would empty onto the Middlesex Turnpike, exacerbating traffic congestion.
The never-ending drought that is afflicting our region is a vivid reminder that clean water is a precious resource and we can never do too much to protect the Vine Brook aquifer. In January, we will be appearing before the Planning Board, Recreation Commission, Conservation Commission, and the Board of Selectmen to make our case. We ask those town leaders and our fellow Town Meeting members to prioritize recreational uses and water protection over more parking lots and traffic.

She transitioned over two years ago and part of the issue is probably she has two moms and we know how bonkers those dipshits at the Pacific Justice Institute(PJI) are. I have had my arguments with Cristan Williams at times but Cristan has done a good thing here and has debunked everything these so called Christians have said about this beautiful little girl. I suggest you read this post at Cristan Williams blog.
Look at that little girl and I dare anyone to tell me she is not a girl. She could not even use the boys room before she transitioned because people thought she was a girl. As someone that identifies as a non church affiliated Christian I find the treatment of this little girl beyond abhorrent. You do not hurt children and that is sacrosanct. Hurting a child goes beyond bullying for an adult and anyone that sides with the wingnuts trying to hurt this beautiful girl needs to get a dope slap so they can wake up and smell the roses. I do not care if the child is TS, TG, trans, gay, lesbian, or gender questioning YOU DO NOT HURT THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Pacific Justice Institute is so full of shit they have changed their story more times than even they can keep track of. I am willing to wager a lot of this goes back to the fact the parents are lesbian and we know PJI cannot handle that despite the fact they make wonderful and caring parents as do gay couples.
I guess maybe my outrage is growing because I can relate to this kid and damn few of you can. Whether you know it or not that beautiful little girl has more courage than most of you can possibly understand. That kid sure does look intimidating in the girls room, NOT!!
Again kudos to Cristan Williams for ripping those turds at PJI a new one.

Paired it with Mamita's maxi skirt from the 80's which was about 2 sizes too big for me so I just folded the top twice and added a belt. Wore my new Dany's too! I am really in love with these shoes. I wanted to order more in a different color but they are all sold out. Trying my luck on a plum pair, I think it's their last pair. Hope they still have my size.
Been noticing a lot of bloggers with cute backpacks lately. I love B's new dooney and burke backpack (of A Plus B in the Sea) so I thought I'd give it a try. Took out my old Prada tessuto backpack that has been in storage since I graduated high school! It's still in excellent condition though. Dennis didn't like it. I said maybe he just wasn't used to the idea of a "backpack" yet same with when he first saw me wearing my wedge booties. Looking at this picture though, I think I kinda get why he didn't exactly gush (haha) over it. It looks like I'm going to school:
Remember back in high school when it was cool to wear your uniform skirt real long, match it with slouchy St. Michael's socks and loafers? Preferrably by Cole Haan? Hahaha! Memories...I wonder who here is my age and had the same experience. Remember those plaid and leather backpacks from Tickles that everyone just had to have? The Benetton or Esprit wallets, scrunchies...I didn't realize how much a maxi skirt could make me feel all nostalgic about the past! Hope you have a great day!

Nokia has called off the exclusive U.S. release of its X7 handset on the AT&T network, according to the Wall Street Journal.
It would have been Nokia's first smartphone to launch exclusively with a U.S. carrier under the direction of Stephen Elop, the former Microsoft executive who replaced Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo as Nokia CEO in September 2010.
Citing "people familiar with the situation," the Journal reported Jan. 19 that AT&T and Nokia intended to show off the phone in advance of the Mobile World Congress trade show, which runs Feb. 14-17 in Barcelona. However, believing that the X7 "wasn't going to receive enough marketing and subsidies support from AT&T," Nokia reportedly decided to pull the phone.
Nokia Communications Director Laurie Armstrong told eWEEK that Nokia doesn't comment on market rumors or speculation. "That said," she added, "it is well-publicized that we are working to regain leadership in the U.S. market, and we are in active discussions with our operator partners on that strategy. We look forward to bringing meaningful solutions to market, together with our operator partners, and when we have something to announce, we will do so."
Further reading
Despite being the worldwide mobile-phone market-share leader, Nokia has had a difficult time producing a smartphone that can effectively compete against the market's major players-namely, the Apple iPhone, Research In Motion's BlackBerry handsets and the ever-increasing number of high-end devices running Google's Android operating system.
Among its steps to "regain leadership," Nokia introduced four new smartphones in September at its Nokia World 2010 conference-the N8, C6, C7 and E7-and announced that a change was nigh.
"Nokia is going through a tough, challenging transition. We have a lot of work to do," Niklas Savander, executive vice president of markets at Nokia, told the crowd during an opening address. But, he added, "today, we shift into high gear in Nokia's fight back in smartphone leadership."
Savander also reminded the audience that Nokia sells more smartphones than any of its competitors. "Last quarter, more people bought Nokia smartphones than Apple and Google combined," he said.
In the United States, however, Nokia doesn't have quite the following that it does abroad, and a month before Savander's statement, research firm Gartner announced that Google's Android had become the No. 1 smartphone operating system stateside.
The unusually shaped Nokia X7 smartphone is rumored to feature a 4-inch AMOLED (active-matrix organic LED) capacitive touch-screen, an 8-megapixel camera, four speakers and the Symbian 3 operating system. Reportedly, it will have a microSD slot with support for up to 32GB of memory, a 680MHz ARM-designed processor and WiFi b/g/n connectivity, as well as Bluetooth, 3G, GPRS (general packet radio service) and EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution, also known as enhanced GPRS) support.
Should Nokia truly decide to keep the X7 off of AT&T's roster, it would likely put more pressure on its N8 smartphone-which, once it finally shipped, following delays, was found to have issues switching on properly. Or a "very small number" of the handsets did. In a video on the Nokia blog, Savander said the issue had been figured out and that Nokia, as a precautionary measure, had "taken immediate action across the product line."
Repair site iFixit performed a teardown of the N8 in October 2010 and found it to be "full of awesome features." It was particularly keen on some design elements, calling them "genius," and the phone's 12-megapixel camera, which it described, affectionately, as "a honker."
Nokia's Armstrong was unable to share Nokia's plans for Mobile World Congress, but implied that plans were indeed under way. She did share, however, that CEO Elop will deliver a keynote Feb. 16, though he doesn't yet appear on the confirmed keynote list, which includes Twitter CEO Evan Williams, Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and AT&T CEO and President Randall Stephenson.

TOAD Streaming "Boundaries Of Flesh" Track
With the unleashing of their "Endless Night" LP just days away (June 25th), the blackened death sorcerers in TOAD offer up a stream of fourth track "Boundaries of Flesh" via Cvlt Nation. Check out the song right here.
Comments the band of the deviant tune: "This was the last song written for Endless Night. It was surreal to know we had neared the end of our vision, so this tune is definitely special for us. Those of you with a keen ear and familiarity with the scores of John Carpenter may pick up on some parallels. As with every song on the album, this song is an unpredictable journey. Enjoy."
Adds Cvlt Nation: "'Boundaries of Flesh' snaps with tight rhythms and a head-nodding beat that's difficult to forget after your first listen. Heady sections of stripped back and echoing vocal lines gives the whole track a different and intriguing mood that calls to mind extreme doom-sensibilities and lends a deeply effective '70s B-Movie soundtrack quality to the song before the title track lurches into being with slow, weighty and dastardly destructive proportions. The song swirls with extended motions of climbing guitar wails and gruff vocal bellows that grind with a distinct resonance and the hurtling speed of the closing seconds is enough to raise the dead themselves. Excellent fun indeed."
"Endless Night" was captured by returning producer/engineer Bob Hoag at Flying Blanket Recording in Mesa, Arizona, who worked with the band previously on the mammoth "Rotten Tide" EP, and offers up a strikingly grim cover by Sean R. Williams (Animetalphysical). The album's track listing is:
1. Taste of the Grave
2. Cosmophobia
3. Howling House
4. Boundaries of Flesh
5. Endless Night

Holding the position of one of Fairfield County's most rural towns, Easton has succeeded in maintaining its 18th century charm and seclusion.
This effort has resulted in a private and peaceful country setting with a wealth of natural beauty.
Easton has limited commerce made up primarily of fruit orchards, dairy and Christmas tree farms.
Aquarion Water Company of Connecticut owns large tracts of land within the town and this has limited development. The water company has preserved three vast reservoirs surrounded by 7,500 acres of pristine forest. Quaint farmhouses, early colonials and newer contemporary homes dot the breathtaking countryside.
Members of the Connecticut Golf Club and Aspetuck Valley Country Club are offered a variety of social and recreational opportunities, including world class golf courses. Easton also provides residents with parks, baseball diamonds, soccer fields, tennis courts and 125 open acres preserved for cross-country skiing, hiking, fishing and horseback riding.
The town itself has no major highways, but the Merritt Parkway and Interstate 95 are only a short drive away. Commuters can also make a brief 15 minute drive to catch a Metro North train to the heart of Manhattan.

CoolSculpting in Apache Junction is a revolutionary technology that uses a precisely controlled cooling method called Cryolipolysis which targets, cools and eliminates fat cells. After a CoolSculpting procedure the body continues to break down the treated fat cells, now in a crystallized or frozen state, leading to fat cell death. Over the next two to four months they are naturally flushed from the body.
Cool Sculpting procedure is designed to target and destroy 20%-25% of the fat cells in the treated area. Diet, exercise and other procedures may shrink fat cells, leaving an open opportunity to increase the size of those same fat cells from a lifestyle shift. Fat cells freeze at higher temperatures than surrounding tissues. Cool Sculpting technology safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin. Over the course of the following weeks after your treatment, your body processes the fat and eliminates it from the body naturally. While dieting and exercise makes the fat cells smaller, this fat freezing procedure gets rid of them completely, allowing you to enjoy positive and long-lasting results of CoolSculpting!
Am I a Good Candidate for CoolSculpting in Apache Junction?
This Cool Sculpting review will get you up to speed about what it can do, and if it really works. The science-based company, Zeltiq, has developed a new medical device designed to help you lose fat in specific trouble areas. This non-invasive procedure, called Cool Sculpting, was created based on the work first started by Dr. Rox Anderson at the Wellman Labs.
The basic concept is to apply extreme COLD temperatures to the fatty area of the body to safely eliminate fat from the body.
How does it work?
The Cool Sculpting process is performed in a doctor's office but does not involve any needles or anesthetics. The procedure begins by using a suction applicator where portions of the skin are sucked up into the applicator. At this point, the cooling process begins causing your skin to be in contact with temperatures that are high enough to transform the fat from a liquid to a solid. Once in the solid formed, the fat cells will slowly begin to be destroyed and will safely be processed through the body.
However, Cool Sculpting methods are VERY expensive and does not actually cure the problem of obesity. Finding a well-rounded exercise and nutrition plan that will get you long-term results is the healthiest approach to losing weight.
Does Fat Freezing Work?
The days of a controlled diet and rigorous workout to get slim are now over. Improved technology makes it easier and faster for people to reduce excess deposits of localized fat from their body. Coolsculpting is one of the latest noninvasive treatments that are available these days. There are a number of effective approaches, apart from it, for the purpose. But, this procedure is indeed different from all the other alternatives.
Cryolipolysis is unique
Most of the other fat removing methods melt the excess fat. In contrast to that this one freezes the adipose tissue or the fat cells. The fat cells, like any living cell in the body, contain water. Cryolipolysis treatment is actually a procedure that turns the water into fine ice crystals. This is done through controlled cooling.
Interestingly, the process works only on the targeted fat cells. It does not freeze or affect the other surrounding tissues of the body. As a result of formation of the ice crystals, the targeted cells meet natural death. Gradually, the dead cells are flushed out from the body in the natural process of elimination. However, this elimination takes about 4 to 6 weeks to get over.
Coolsculpting proves to be effective in reducing excess and stubborn deposits of fat from regions like:
- Stomach or abdomen
- Love handles or flanks
- The back area
- Thighs and
- Chest
It is particularly helpful to resolve the double chin problem in men.
The result or the effect of fat freezing treatment lasts long. As the fat cells are frozen to death and eliminated from the system, they do not have a chance of reappearing. However, if one wants to retain the toned body for a long time after the treatment, one should do some physical workout regularly and follow a restricted diet.
Coolsculpting is indeed the best solution, available these days, to remove the localized and stubborn pockets of fat.

...is apparently never ending for many of us at this time of year, but I have been noticing this week how important it is to me to finish non-Christmassy things in time for Christmas! Why is that, I wonder? For instance, I decided I needed to finish a scrapbook page, unpick a logo from a sweatshirt that I didn't like, and complete and circulate some committee minutes today, just to get them out of the way before Christmas started. And it isn't as if I've even sent all my christmas cards out yet. At least my list is getting shorter at last, one way or another.
Here is the scrapbook page I did today, it was really, really quick because I had a lovely page from MME which was already the title and quite a lot of embellishment too. I might add a few bits and pieces when I look at it again. The occasion was when I met In Real Life someone I had previously only known through the internet. What a super lady, you can check out her blog if you like, here. I have to tell you that the photo of her is not at all flattering due to it having been taken at arm's length.
Michelle, this is my cop-out piece on the theme of connection. Those two little birds look like they are on a telegraph wire having a chat, just like us. And I feel sure we will meet up again soon!

Trump pushes infrastructure plan as Russia probe heats up
President Donald Trump is promoting plans for $1 trillion in U.S. infrastructure spending aimed at boosting jobs and the economy. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) President Donald Trump on Wednesday promoted plans for $1 trillion in U.S. infrastructure spending aimed at boosting jobs and the economy in a move that could shift attention from a probe into alleged ties between his campaign and Russia. "It is time to rebuild our country, to bring back our jobs, to restore our dreams, and yes, to put America first," Trump said, according to excerpts released by the White House. "We are going to restore America's industrial might, creating the jobs and tax base to put new infrastructure all over this country." Speaking in Cincinnati, Ohio, Trump reviewed a proposal announced earlier this year to leverage $200 billion in his budget proposal into a $1 trillion of projects to privatize the air traffic control system, strengthen rural infrastructure and repair bridges, roads and waterways. Trump is pointing to a government program that allows the private sector to tap into low-cost government loans called the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act as a way to leverage federal funds with state, local, and private sector funding.

This sinuous lake in the middle of Hyde Park in central London is well known to locals and tourists as a pleasant place to take a break. There are a great many ducks and other waterfowl on the lake; unfortunately they are so accustomed to being fed by tourists that they are quite unable to forage for food themselves, and each year many of them perish during the brutally cold winter months.
Worse, much of the bread thrown to the ducks by visitors sinks into the lake, where it goes to feed a large population of wild carp, some exceeding 30 pounds in weight. In their search for food some of the bigger carp have become predatory, and if you spend long enough at the Serpentine you are almost sure to see these leviathans preying on ducklings and other small water birds. The only indication of an attack is a sudden swirl in the water, followed by a brief cry from the unfortunate bird as it is pulled under.
The Serpentine has long been a favourite of London bathers, including a hardy breed who swim there on Christmas day every year. But bathers, too, have been the subject of unwanted attention from the larger fish. While the carp rarely cause serious harm, they can certainly alarm swimmers by latching on to hands or feet with their cavernous mouths. For this reason it is advisable not to swim in the Serpentine without wearing flippers and rubber gloves, which can be rented by the hour (kiosk just outside the Serpentine Gallery).
Twice every summer an 'open day' is held for anglers to fish out as many carp as they can using any legal method (baits, lures, nets, snares on long poles, etc) which attracts fishermen from all over the country. Most of the carp are sold to local French restaurants. The dates are only announced a few weeks in advance, so ask at your hotel for further information. Watching the sport is certainly an entertaining day out, but you should arrive early to ensure a place, as the crowds can become quite large and boisterous.
More recently, some of London's notorious practical jokers have been feeding the carp on corn, pasta and other fattening foods. The declared aim is to see how big the fish can get, and whether they can one day 'take down' a swimmer. However, such irresponsible behaviour is unlikely to impact on your enjoyment of the Serpentine as a bathing venue, at least for several years.

A Disturbing Picture Emerges If You Connect the Dots: Rep. Jane Harman's Israeli-Spy Wiretap Story Ties-in with NYT's More Than Year-Long Delay in Breaking the Warrantless Wiretap Domestic Spying Story.
Maybe the details of the Jane Harman/AIPAC wiretapping story are too overwhelming for many political observers to wrap their heads around. Okay. TPM Muckraker and CQ Politics and The Daily Show and Salon and others have done a good job of presenting the basic outlines of the Harman story, for anyone who missed it or wants to bone up on the details. Suffice it to say, the complex plot would translate beautifully into a big-screen, film-noir thriller. One to rival "All the President's Men," in fact.
But step back from the enigmatic, five-year-long whodunit of twists and turns and accusations, and what is the big picture? Try this theory on for size: The conscious manipulation by powerful forces of the American democratic process and the outright throwing of a presidential election. (Just a theory.)
The key points to focus on are that it seems like the nation's arguably top news publisher (The New York Times) was swayed by the nation's arguably top Executive Branch attorney (Alberto Gonzales) and a self-serving, duly elected Congresswoman sitting on the House Intelligence Committee (CA Rep. Jane Harman) to cover up a program of illegal government spying on US citizens -- on the eve of an incredibly close presidential election. Are you paying attention yet?
In the Fall of 2004, prior to the November 2 presidential election, The New York Times knew about the Bush Administration's new warrantless domestic wiretapping program, thanks to hard investigative work by their crack reporters. Yet the paper's Washington bureau chief and executive editor kept that information to themselves for well over a year -- sitting on the story until December 16, 2005.
What if they had not done that? The vote count in Ohio, just to pick one very critical state in the 2004 presidential election, was very close, with allegations of many irregularities, to boot. (Iowa and New Mexico were even closer.) If The Times had let voters know -- as soon as they themselves knew -- that the Bush Administration had an ongoing program of intercepting American citizens' domestic emails and phone calls, without FISA approval, wouldn't a good many more voters have pulled the lever for Democrat John Kerry? Almost certainly, some lower level Democratic candidates would have benefited from the release of that news, too.
But the top management of The Times decided not to let voters have that knowledge. It was top management's judgment that such news was "not fit to print," to reference the paper's classic slogan.
Here's a partial synopsis of the quashing of that huge story -- which was about the Executive Branch ignoring the US Constitution's Fourth Amendment guarantee of privacy rights -- as reported by The Times on April 23, 2009:
Ms. Harman had weighed in beginning in 2004 in urging The Times not to publish an article about the secret surveillance program.
Bill Keller, the executive editor of The Times, said in a statement this week that Ms. Harman spoke with Philip Taubman, then the newspaper's Washington bureau chief, in October or November 2004, urging that the article not be published.
One former official said Thursday that Michael V. Hayden, then the director of the security agency, and John E. McLaughlin, then the acting director of the C.I.A., prepared talking points for Ms. Harman to use in her discussion with Mr. Taubman.
Ms. Harman's spokesman said she "has absolutely no recollection of any talking points for a phone call that took place five years ago."
Mr. Keller said Ms. Harman had told Mr. Taubman that she was calling at the request of Mr. Hayden.
Mr. Keller added that Ms. Harman had not spoken with him and that he did not remember her position's being "a significant factor" in his decision not to publish the article at the time. The article was published in December 2005.
It's interesting to note that, when urging The Times in 2004 not to break the domestic spying story, Harman was doing the bidding of the heads of the NSA and the CIA. Interesting, too, that The Times still, to this day, has not published the exact date of Harman's (or anyone else's) intervention. Nor have they quoted Taubman on what was said or how the quashing went forward.
Furthermore, the newspaper's latest 2009 account of that intervention makes no reference to the hotly contested national election that was then the top news-making event in America. That aspect was addressed, but only up to a point, by the paper's public editor, Byron Calame, on August 13, 2006:
Internal discussions about drafts of the article had been "dragging on for weeks" before the Nov. 2 election, Mr. Keller acknowledged. That process had included talks with the Bush administration. He said a fresh draft was the subject of internal deliberations "less than a week" before the election.
"The climactic discussion about whether to publish was right on the eve of the election," Mr. Keller said. The pre-election discussions included Jill Abramson, a managing editor; Philip Taubman, the chief of the Washington bureau; Rebecca Corbett, the editor handling the story, and often Mr. Risen. Arthur Sulzberger Jr., the publisher, was briefed, but Mr. Keller said the final decision to hold the story was his.
... Holding a fresh draft of the story just days before the election also was an issue of fairness, Mr. Keller said. I agree that candidates affected by a negative article deserve to have time — several days to a week — to get their response disseminated before voters head to the polls.
... Were the wording and the sensitivity of the election-day timing issue discussed internally? "I don't remember," Mr. Keller said in an interview.
... Given the importance of this otherwise outstanding article on warrantless eavesdropping — and now the confirmation of pre-election decisions to delay publication — The Times owes it to readers to set the official record straight.
There's more in the public editor's 2006 column to suggest that Keller carefully parsed his words, at a minimum, and avoided coming clean about the events surrounding the timing of the release of the story. In 2009, Keller again remains circumspect, to put it generously. First he released a statement to Greg Sargent at the Plumline saying, "Ms. Harman did not influence my decision. I don't recall that she even spoke to me." A few days later, in his statement published in The Times, he says that Harman didn't speak to him, but did speak to the DC bureau chief. So much for "I don't recall ..."
Is The New York Times ready to update the "official record" now that their spiking of this bombshell of a story has repercussions for a story of congressional corruption and international spying? Can the Public Editor tell us exactly when Jane Harman talked to the DC bureau chief?
It does not seem insignificant either that, later, when Attorney General Alberto Gonzales learned (presumably from Keller?) that The Times was finally going to release their report on domestic spying, he stepped in to block a nascent probe of Rep. Harman and AIPAC and alleged Israeli spying -- because he "needed Jane" to help deflect criticism of the domestic spying program:
But according to the two former national security officials, Gonzales said he "needed Jane" to help support the administration's warrantless wiretapping program, which was about to be exposed by the Times. Harman, he told Goss, had helped persuade the newspaper to hold the wiretap story on the eve of the 2004 elections. And although it was too late to stop the Times from publishing now, she could be counted on again to help defend the program."
And the investigation of Harman was dropped like a hot potato. Its existence only became public this month.
Since major players in this game of intrigue -- most notably Gonzales, but also Harman now -- have acquired the stench of corruption about them, is it reasonable to assume that The New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller has nothing to hide, and nothing to apologize for? His way of addressing the questions raised by his own public editor three years back and in an earlier column does not instill confidence. A few more excerpts:
"I don't remember."
The eavesdropping information "first became known to Times reporters" a year ago, he said.
[then] "... more than a year ago ..."
Mr. Keller declined to explain in detail his pre-election decision to hold the article, citing obligations to preserve the confidentiality of sources.
"Whether publishing earlier would have influenced the 2004 election is, I think, hard to say. Judging from the public reaction to the N.S.A. eavesdropping reflected in various polls, one could ask whether earlier disclosure might have helped President Bush more than hurt."
"... old business ..."
Like it or not, this story is now about a media big shot who helped top government officials hide the fact that they had been spying on citizens without judicial oversight. It's also about a powerful media figure or figures who hid a dubious activity by GOP and White House insiders from voters on the eve of a very important and close election -- even while recognizing that their decision would likely change votes. Why did they do that?
Echoes of Watergate? Well, at least in that little caper, the media were the good guys. Seems like The New York Times still has more explaining to do.

A semester of workbooks for lawyers, law students, and other legal professionals to find the work uniquely right for them and develop it into a sustainable career in foggy economic conditions.
"Everyone knows this is the future of the legal practice. I don't want to spend the second half of my career like a taxi driver complaining about Uber."
The time to act is now – whether you're concerned about the second half of your career like Augie Rakow (Atrium co-founder and former senior partner at a top Silicon Valley firm), you're a law student pretending you know why you're in law school, or you're aware that your current career as a lawyer isn't sustainable for any reason.
Once upon a time, legal needs were clear and lawyers only had to compete with other humans admitted to the practice to earn income. In 2018, the future of work for lawyers is as unclear any other white-collar profession.
Any given development in artificial intelligence prompts a question of whether it will replace humans or augment their abilities. The answer often cuts both ways in the present, replacing some and augmenting others, depending on which pieces of work are being automated and then, on how any given human adapts to the change.
An AI solution like ROSS Intelligence (which received $8.7M Series A funding this past October to accelerate its legal research AI) augments those that use it – and law schools, bar associations, and nonprofits get to use ROSS for free. Still, when an AI solution is implemented, it often replaces functions once performed by a human. Whether and how a solution also opens economic space for new human functions is usually hard to discern.
At least, AI opens a couple of advantages for lawyers looking for alternatives to big law. First, it's easier to implement automation in a small workflow than in a large firm. Second, the large firms still haven't resolved the access to justice gap, so there's still plenty of critical work to be done in the field that tech can help us address. And AI will open yet unknown advantages for more lawyers.
How do you position your career as a lawyer to benefit from AI's emerging advantages? You focus on strategic work intended to optimize how you can deliver a genuinely needed service.
Whatever portion of your existing job functions are replaced in your lifetime, you'll still be a human. Humans are unique products of time spent as a human. Humans have mirror neurons that make us want to connect with other human experiences. And where there's a human desire, there's an economic value. Your human experience has value. Your human experience will always have value.
To make a career out of your humanness, you have to adapt your unique human value into a sustainable economic value. The most challenging part of translating your unique value is often uncovering it in the first place. Our learning environments were industrialized to accommodate outdated economics so we didn't learn to identify and build on our passions, curiosities, and other internal motivators. Many of us will have a lot of work to do to discover our unique values.
Even those of us strongly connected to our passions have a lot of work to do to translate that into functional help for complex humans in a distracted world. To guide that work, Susan Letterman White designed a series of 5 workbooks to help busy lawyers focus on a plan to develop, transition, and advance their careers. This 5-step process is about finding the right career path for you. It about uncovering your strengths, values, brand, and passion, and then creating a written plan to achieve your goals and developing the marketing tools to increase the effectiveness of your efforts. These workbooks will guide you through each stage with revealing exercises that help you notice more opportunities, overcome limiting ways of thinking, and uncover your unique skills and energizing vision for a successful and happy future.
Each of the 5 workbooks offers a checklist, discussion, and activities designed to accelerate your innovation and build upon your previous work. At the end of each workbook, you will have an array of strategies at your disposal to develop, advance or transition your career. You may decide to improve one or more skills, seek out new opportunities, effectively communicate your fit for an opportunity, define what you need to do to feel successful and happy, or create a written plan to manage your strategy projects. The workbooks will guide you through the material in the following order:
- STRENGTHS [Workbook 1]. SWOT inside and outside to uncover your technical and core strategy, leadership, and communication strengths and opportunities that are worth your time and effort to explore.
- VALUES [Workbook 2]. Revisit your values, beliefs, assumptions and unconscious biases and their impact on your most important decisions.
- BRAND [Workbook 3]. Rebrand yourself so that your project a strong, professional presence and people remember you exactly as you want them to.
- PURPOSE [Workbook 4]. Repurpose your passion into a driver of your success and happiness.
- PATH [Workbook 5]. Chart your course forward with clear goals, a step-by-step action plan, and insight for implementation accountability.
If you can't make enough time in your current schedule to work through our full workbook series, get your goals going with this condensed capsule (published in 2017).

Dang it! I'm late to linking up with Holly AGAIN. I promise you all that I absolutely WILL get it right and WILL link up on a Tuesday.
Anyways... time for Tried it Tuesday with Holly from Fourth Grade Flipper!
I decided to try some kind of organizational system for my Project Life cards since I have just about every set there is that you can buy currently.
You don't know what Project Life is? Well... click here to read all about it. I have decided that I am literally going to get rid of EVERY SINGLE OTHER CRAFT item I have that I intended to use for scrapbooking and focus on and utilize only this method of scrapbooking - you only need the cards, pictures, a binder, and photo pocket pages, and a pen - then you're done. Easy, simple, and no embellishments or extra long amounts of time spent crafting needed.
The thing about PL is that you do a layout a week - so, you'd do a layout for April 8-15 this week... document on cards what has happened and print out pictures (as few or as many as you'd like) and insert them into your pocket pages. Then, onto the next week.
If you have no patience or no craftiness (even though you think you might like I think I do... hahahaha), Project Life might be the way to go!
By the way... if you share my obsession... you jumped on the train and bought the two kits that were debuted on the HSN specials on like March 30th or something along those lines - the Jade and the Blush kits. The following pictures are of cards from the JADE kit (just so you know so in case you want to purchase... you know which kit they are from).
Anyways... I needed some kind of way to store my PL cards rather than in bulky boxes or simply in photo boxes where I can't see what each card looks like.
So, tada! Let's store them in the binders, inside the photo pages, each card design in it's OWN POCKET so I can see what cards I have and how many I have of each card left. That way, I can use one of this card and one of that card and another of that one and this one... instead of using ALL the same designs and realizing this AFTER I finish journaling.
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this organizational system... even though it does take up my pocket pages. But, who is to say I cannot buy more? I think it gives me a clear view of the cards I have and don't have... the designs and layouts that go together and that do not go together, and if a friend needs or wants some cards, I can grab a stack and go.
Also, since ALL the cards for ONE kit are in ONE binder, I can grab this single binder and go - to a crop, to a meeting, to my craft room desk, wherever. I don't have to carry a photo box, the binder, pocket pages, pens, paper, embellishments, etc. I just grab the binder, pictures, and a pen and I am SET.
How do YOU organize your crafty things? What have you tried that succeeded? What have you tried that did not succeed?
Link up with Holly's Tried It Tuesday!
Have a good day, y'all! :)

An organized process of self-assessment is critical in planning a change in career fields, organizations and even positions. Before you launch your job search, take time to evaluate yourself.
5 Areas to Examine
A career change is not a decision to take lightly. It should hinge on an honest review of who you are, where you've been and where you wish to go next.
1. Inventory your interests.
Interests, quite simply, are the things you enjoy. They include the mental and physical activities that you find stimulating. Do you like working with data, or get your energy from working on a team? Some of these interests can be reflected in your hobbies and social activities. Most people find that job satisfaction is linked to interest.
2. Consider your values.
What is most important to you? Are there inherent values you build your life upon? Is it important that they are incorporated in your work and professional environment? Pursuing work congruent with your values is another driver of satisfaction.
3. Be honest about your needs.
What are your basic requirements for any career move? These factors should be carefully considered:
- Salary
- Geographic location
- Flexible work hours
- Commuting time
4. Survey your skills.
What are your key abilities, talents and strengths? Organizational skills, communication skills, writing and problem-solving are all highly desirable. Do you have the technical skills invaluable in your field? Review your accomplishments to determine what was critical to your success. This will help you market yourself in your search for a new opportunity.
5. Prioritize your personality.
The importance of "fit" in a position or organization cannot be underestimated. Personality qualities such decision-making style or what energizes a person vary widely and can lead to satisfaction in different working arenas. While an organization considers your fit, be sure to assess if they fit you.

While many people use the words resume and curriculum vitae (CV) interchangeably, they are two very different types of documents that are used to secure employment. Knowing which one to use when applying for a health care position will save you time and energy.
A curriculum vitae is the standard form of document used internationally, and in the United States a CV is used among medical, academic, and scientific professionals. A CV focuses on education, publications, contributions or significant achievements. So when should a health care professional use a CV? It should be used when a health care professional has higher training and/or education (i.e. a bachelors or higher) to best showcase their specialties, past experiences, and training.
On the other hand, resumes are the standard document that are used to secure employment in the United States. A resume differs from a CV in that a resume is a summary of education, work experiences, and skills. Resumes should be concise and relevant to the specific position that is being applied for. If the interviewer requires more detail, they will ask for a portfolio or it can be expanded upon in an interview.
When deciding between a CV or resume, a good rule of thumb to have is to use a CV is you have higher than a bachelors degree or are seeking employment abroad.
Here are 5 universal tips for CVs and resumes:
- Make sure that it is free of grammatical or spelling errors
- Tailor it specifically to the position you are applying for
- Emphasize your accomplishments, not the duties or tasks you performed
- The use of keywords is essential. Today, companies have technology that will screen CVs/resumes for specific keywords so it is important to use the job description as a guide.
- Try to avoid gaps in time. If you've taken time off for personal reasons, school, or travel, list it under a section titled "Additional Experience†or make a notation in the cover letter that allows for continuity

The music of Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers.
Jarrow-born playwright, Tom Kelly, is something of a North East phenomenon. He is a poet, with 8 poetry collections and two volumes of short stories published but he is perhaps best known throughout the region for his plays and musicals, often featured at the Customs House in South Shields, where his most recent works The Dolly Mixtures, written with John Miles, and Geordie The Musical, played to rapturous houses, justly earning standing ovations every night. His one-man play, I Left My Heart In Roker Park also played to packed houses, winning a WOW award, and Tom was a finalist in the Writer of the Year category in the Journal Culture Awards for Geordie.
On October 23rd, his new play Love Songs, which is packed with classic 60s songs, comes to Middlesbrough Theatre, presented by Baby Love Productions. Baby Love productions are husband and wife team, Helen and Jonathan Cash. Helen and Jonathan are experienced musical theatre performers, with numerous leading roles at the Theatre Royal, Newcastle and elsewhere around the region to their credit.
The couple live in Blaydon, as it happens, right next door to Tom Kelly, which is how the play came about. In 2016 they toured his play with 60s songs, Baby Love, which was a favourite with audiences. As North East Theatre Guide said, "Baby Love benefits from an insightful script, good music and charismatic acting."
Tom explains, "After the success of Baby Love's tour, I wanted to write something to capitalise on the talents of Helen and Jonathan and, as they are both singers as well as actors, it seemed a shame not to use that."
The new play features an array of classic songs, such as Bridge Over Troubled Water, Somewhere, True Love Ways, Love Me Tender & Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow. These songs are performed by the two protagonists as part of a 60s tribute tour.
Although the songs are nostalgic, the themes of the play are very contemporary. The play deals with themes of mental health and domestic abuse as the two lead characters face up to their own demons to have a chance at building a life together.
Tom explained, "I love these songs and tribute tours are the bread and butter of many of our local theatres nowadays. It seemed very current to use that as a background to address subjects like mental health and the impact of domestic abuse in a believable and ultimately positive way. I believe audiences will respond to that. "
Typically for Tom's work, Love Songs also has a lot of humorous sections. The play features the quirky characters that people the tribute tour, some of them unable to separate themselves from the icons they portray, with often comical consequences.
Jonathan, who both directs and acts in the play, told us, "We had a great time working with Tom on Baby Love and had the joy of experiencing at first hand the emotional impact his writing has on audiences. It's the authenticity of his characters and the depth of feeling he brings to his writing that makes his work so satisfying, both to watch and to perform. There's always a mix of drama and comedy that makes the work real and engaging. When he said he was writing a new piece especially for us, we were, naturally, delighted. It's a privilege to have a play written for us by one of the region's foremost playwrights. We're just extremely lucky he happens to be our friend. Also living just next door makes it really easy to get together for rehearsals."
"We're really excited to be playing at the lovely Middlesbrough Theatre for the first time. It has lots of atmosphere and the audience are really close to the stage. Looking around it, I realised straight away that it would be the perfect venue for an intimate play like Love Songs. We will be able to really engage with the audience, while singing these iconic numbers."
You can watch a short video about the play and find more information about baby Love productions at the website http://babyloveproductions.co.uk
The play is at Middlesbrough Theatre at 7.30 on Tuesday 23 October.

I've been reading — and worse — listening to leftwing pundits dump on the Conservative Awakening and dismiss it as a "media event." When 10,000 let alone 100,000 let alone a reported million conservatives — people who are allergic to collective action and despise demonstrations — march on Washington as they did on 9/12 something very serious is going on; I would say a conservative equivalent to the 1960s.
I just came from an event in St. Louis at which Glenn Beck spoke in a sports arena to 11,000 Tea Partiers who paid $20 a head to hear him give a sermon in the Church of American Patriotism, specifically a church whose sacred texts were the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, the objects of the evening's worship. The event was organized by a tiny organization of religious conservatives closely associated with Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum. The woman who organized the evening had never organized anything on this scale in her life, or even close. She did not know the thousands who came to hear Beck speak, but collected their addresses with the idea of educating them for the struggle for their country that lay ahead. The atmosphere of the evening was that of political rally, with the roof coming down every time Beck rang the patriotic bell. The speech he gave — really the performance — was an astounding paean to America and the sounding of an alarm against the progressive attack on its foundations.
I continue to be amazed by the refusal of the Obama Administration, the Democratic Party, and their retainers in the media at Newsweek, Slate, etc. to understand that the reckless arrogance of the Obama left and the reckless leftism of the Obama regime have triggered a political earthquake in the metaphorical American heartland which stretches from Massachusetts to the Pacific Coast, portending an electoral tsunami to follow. This revolt began last May with California voters' rejecting five initiatives to raise taxes by 60% majorities and passing a sxith initiative to punish legislators who failed to balance the budget by a 70% margin. These margins held in San Francisco as throughout this liberal state. When liberals reject more taxes and deficits and Obama spills 2 trillion dollars in red ink in an in-your-face defiance of the popular will, you know we are at a historic turning.
Personally I am happy that liberals are so thick-headed and self-righteous — none more so than their incompetent and over-rated chief — because it means they probably won't wake up in time to correct course and stem this conservative tide.
Reminder: David Horowitz will be on Glenn Beck today at 5:00 PM EST.

Practice Sqauds in the ProsThe NFL practice s
Practice Sqauds in the ProsThe NFL practice squad was once referred to as the taxi squad because the Cleveland Browns once got their non roster players jobs as cab drivers to make ends meet. The NFL allows each team to put eight players on the practice squad who will serve as scout players from other teams. The minimum pay for practice squad players is $5,200 a week, and they are free to sign contracts with any other team during the season if they get a better offer. In addition, they can be activated at any time to the main roster to get in a game.
MARTIN: Do you see yourself as having some opportunity to be influential in the issues that are so present in the NFL right now and, frankly, in the minds of the custom youth football practice jerseys public? Frankly, some people are wondering whether it's still ethical to be a football fan, knowing what we know about the impact of the sport on players, particularly something as consequential as brain trauma. Do you see yourself having a role in this discussion?
Sports betting in Delaware officially got under way Thursday after surviving a contentious legal nfl buy jerseys battle with professional sports leagues and the NCAA. kickoff. The computer at https://www.cheapjerseysfree.com/ the new, high tech sports book at Dover Downs casino wouldn't accept his initial bet, so he had to wait a couple of minutes and try again.
"And I can tell you directly that we've had zero discussions relative to discount jerseys anything related to a new stadium with the county, the state at this point," Brandon said. "With the lease being up when it is (through 2022), there's going to be very thoughtful conversation in both the private and public sector down the road if" building a new stadium is "the route we go. But we have to make a macro level custom youth football uniforms decision that benefits the entire community."
Speaking of too neat conclusions, Hill also burst onto the scene as a rookie, finishing as the No. cheap nhl jerseys 25 WR in PPR (15th in standard), then watched Jeremy Maclin get released. That left Hill in apparent primacy among Kansas City's WRs (with TE Travis Kelce as Alex Smith's favorite target) given that the rest of the depth chart includes names such as Chris Conley, Albert Wilson and Demarcus Robinson.
The NFL is continuing its investigation into allegations made against other NFL players real stitched nfl jerseys in the documentary, which the league said involves "different lines of inquiry and witnesses." Those other players all of them linebackers provided the league with sworn affidavits, but the NFL wants to interview them in person.
How many people have said to you, Super Bowl is going to be played in Minnesota. Will the Vikings be in it? are 32 teams in our league; only two of them are going to be here in February. Every team in our league has a goal of being here in February and playing in the Super Bowl. If that not your goal right now, I don know why you doing this.

"I was born in Budapest in l944 and am American by naturalization. My family and I arrived in this country when I was fifteen. Besides Hungary and the U.S. I have lived in Austria, England, Cuba, Mexico, Peru and Spain.
As a child I was a puttering, craftsy, nerdy kind of kid who played with clay and wood and made model airplanes. Moving around as much as we did, and being uprooted so often, I learned to be the source of my own stimulation and entertainment. I made my first guitar out of a cigar box when I was a Cub Scout, at about age eleven: it collapsed at first stringing. This was my start as a guitarmaker.
Having lived in many places I've managed to go to lots of different schools; I eventually graduated from U.C. Berkeley in 1966 with a degree in English. Upon graduation I entered the Peace Corps, which sent me to Peru for two years. Then, after returning from South America I attended graduate school in Wisconsin, worked in a mental hospital in Illinois, studied guitar in Spain, and for a time made my living as a flamenco guitarist in the Midwest and in California. About ten years ago I went back to graduate school to study clinical psychology. I've also branched out from lutherie to become an artistic wood carver.
My becoming a professional luthier wasn't planned; in fact, lutherie didn't exist as an occupation in this country when I started, so there wouldn't have been anything to make plans around. I became a guitarmaker in 1971 when I made a guitar as a hobby project: a friend of mine had made a guitar using Irving Sloane's seminal book, and I decided I wanted to make one for myself too. A lot of things start like that, I think.
I am unusual in lutherie in that I make both steel string and Spanish (nylon strung) guitars. Being a flamenco guitar player, I started out making flamenco guitars: I quickly found that the flamenco network is too broke to support a guitarmaker. Then I tried my hand at making classic guitars, which are very similar to flamencos. However, since I didn't really know what I was doing in those early days I found the classic guitar crowd impossible to please. After a few years of this, when I'd finished with the steepest part of the learning curve and gotten past my worst mistakes, I became interested in making steel string guitars. Because I'd learned from my earlier failures, my steel string guitars were surprisingly good. And they had individuality. I became somewhat of a pioneer in this, as steel string guitarmaking in this country had previously been almost exclusively the province of factory production and the model of what a guitar should be was exactly a Martin or a Gibson.
I am at this point, after 40 years of instrument making, one of the leading American authorities on the principles of acoustic guitar construction. I've also been called a luthier's luthier. These assessments are based on my extensive experience in making both Spanish and steel string guitars, and also on my years of teaching. I've taught classes in guitarmaking and repair both privately and in schools, lectured and given workshops and hands-on demonstrations at many national conventions and lutherie symposia, participated in more than a hundred lutherie and craft shows and exhibitions, and written and published dozens of articles on different aspects of lutherie over many years. I have taught and influenced many of the younger generation of American luthiers.
I attribute my professional success in large part to my having a degree in English, strange as that may sound. But the fact is that my English classes and teachers trained me in how to think critically. That is, I learned to look at something which someone had created and examine it closely, identify which of its elements worked and which ones didn't, to think analytically about the connections of its parts, and to compare it to other work. The skill of being able to analyze serious written work has translated usefully to my being able to understand, and being able to make, better soundboxes. It also saved me from a professional life of basically making copies of guitars that were originally designed to be mass market products – an approach which was pretty much the only one available thirty years ago, and which is still widely in use today. Second, and not less important, my English teachers taught me to write well, a skill I've used in every article and essay I've written.
As far as my personal life goes, I have a college-age daughter who is following in my footsteps by majoring in English. I live in Berkeley, California, where I periodically track wood shavings through the house which I share with a rabbit, five fish tanks, a friendly female human, and too many cats to count.
I find that there are four rules for professional success which, coincidentally, are the same as the four rules for domestic success, no matter where you are or what you do. First, try to find the humour and the good in everything you do. Second, be prepared to work hard at it, at least some of the time. Third, never reveal everything you know.

When a truck driver took his eyes off the road to search for a lost apple, his tractor trailer crossed into oncoming traffic and smashed a vehicle to the side of the road, where it was struck again by a second tractor trailer and burst into flames.
The victim sustained numerous catastrophic injuries, including multiple fractures, lacerations, and brain damage. His long road to recovery included a femur nailing, a wired jaw, an ORIF of his foot, and a metal implant in his fractured eye socket.
Attorney Caroline Munley, Esq., represented the plaintiff in filing suit against the two trucking companies, and needed help illustrating the magnitude of damages her client suffered as a result of the two collisions.
We built Ms. Munley a custom Digital Injury Summary (DIS), packaged with strategic visuals to convey every aspect of her client's injuries, surgeries, and brain damage. The presentation included:
- Medical Illustrations to provide a graphic overview of injuries in accurately graphic detail.
- Color Diagnostics to familiarize viewers with CT scans by colorizing damages over black-and-white films.
- Diagnostic Slice Chooser to show the true depth of brain damage with 3D context.
- Surgery Animations to demonstrate the step-by-step procedures required to address damages.
Ms. Munley showed up to mediation prepared with a visual presentation that demonstrated not only a solid foundation for damage claims - but that she was confident in her case, and prepared to take it in front of a jury.
The two defense teams agreed to settle for $3.8M, weeks before trial.
Exhibit A: Illustrated Damages
The first set of exhibits visualize the amount of pain and suffering the victim suffered as a result of the truck driver's negligence. Anchoring with a visual that shows what these injuries actually look like helps your audience understand what they mean, and why the victim deserves to be compensated.
Exhibit B: Animated Surgeries
Once we established what these injuries looked like, we needed to show how they were addressed, using animation to demonstrate the step-by-step surgical procedures the victim experienced.
Exhibit C: Color Diagnostics
Finally, we highlighted the victim's radiographic films to help make them more recognizable, understandable, and memorable for a jury - had this case made it that far. Color Diagnostics are a great way to add realism and familiarity to otherwise black-and-white, ambiguous imagery.
The matter settled at mediation for 3.8 million! I truly believe that the other side was blown away by the outstanding graphics prepared by your firm. Many thanks to everyone at High Impact for their hard work.
High Impact's team of visual strategists, artists and developers can build and customize your digital presentation for any case involving personal injury, medical malpractice, birth trauma - or any subject involving complex information.

Day 2:
- me-made denim sailor trousers
- me-made leopard long sleeve top
- me-made Saint Cardigan (poor thing is pretty bobbley these days! It's seen a lot of action on the front line of these me-made challenges)
- me-made vest and pants
- me-made coat and bag
This was a very cosy outfit, thanks to wearing three layers on the top. This is going to have to be my tactic til it gets warmer. Note to self: wear more stuff all at the same time.
Day 3:
- me-made skirtain
- me-made ruffle jumper
- me-made vest and pants
- me-made coat and bag
You knew it wouldn't be long until you the skirtain crept into play, didn't you?! For some reason, I always feel really 'put together' when wearing a skirt during the day, even if the skirt is as silly as this one! Considering it's a colour combo and print that probably wouldn't appeal to the majority, it gets a suprising amount of compliments! This shot is also funny because you can basically see all of my tiny flat at once! Did I mention that I'm moving in less than two weeks? Yes indeed, I'm taking MMMar '11 out of the current underground hovel and into a, well, slightly bigger flat! Woo hoo!
