The Planetary Dance is a tool for community resilience, collective empowerment and environmental and social awareness building.
Originally created by renowned artist and dancer, Anna Halprin in 1981, the Planetary Dance was first created as a response to severe violent events happening on Mt. Tamalpais, Marin County, California. At that time the community decided to come together, and with Anna's leadership, perform a series of rituals and events to reclaim their resiliency, power, overcome their fear and pay tribute to the women that had suffered violence on the mountain between the years of 1979-1981. The perpetrator was captured after a series of community based rituals and the Planetary Dance was born. The Planetary Dance has been performed at the base of Mt. Tamalpais for more than 35 years as a seasonal community ritual. It is now being performed and used as a tool for resiliency in diverse communities in over 30 different countries worldwide.
In these times of great challenge and despair we, the next generation of Planetary Dance facilitators, feel the call to bring this arts based ritual to our children in their schools. Our purpose is to increase a sense of belonging, activate community, and exercise our birthright to foster health and balance within each individual and with our beloved planet Earth.
The Planetary Dance is a peace run orchestrated in a circle that allows participants to dedicate their run to a personal, family, community and or world issue that they want to bring healing to. In this way the dance integrates the physical and emotional body to have an enacted experience of taking action for your life and the lives of those you care about. In these hostile times of immigration bans and climate change acceleration, we are being called to strengthen our connections to each other and to the planet in order to protect our communities and the environment that we depend on. The Planetary Dance experience gives youth the chance to creatively confront the challenges in their lives and the world around them and to respond by building community through the arts, to orient themselves towards positive change.

The most recent version of ourselves is not the true version – it's good to remember that
We are multiplicities of self – there is not one kind of beauty, or accomplishment or contentment
Thirty is a good age to pause and take stock
My mother was, for some reason, singularly taken with a particular line from WB Yeats's Sailing to Byzantium. This makes her sound, rather pompously, like a very learned person. She was not, really. She looked after children during the day, to feed my brother and me. In the evenings and on weekends, she worked as a study supervisor at a local private school, where she sometimes but not often had time, between shushing and eyeballing fenced-in young people roiling with hormones and a sense of their own irresistible invincibility, to read. On contemplating aging, or seeing a particularly elderly person – one of those people so ancient that, all hard edges, they resemble an anorak hanging limply from a coat rack, come to life and shuffling judderingly but with painstaking slowness down the street with a small, lonely bag of meagre groceries, she would murmur the line to herself. 'An aged man is but a paltry thing, / A tattered coat upon a stick . . .'
She wasn't being unkind, though I suppose it is in some respects an unkind line, or an unkind image. It was more a commentary, as Yeats no doubt intended it, on the inevitability of death, the tender vulnerability of life, and the nature of mortality. All of these things came to mind when I was at a friend's 30th birthday party recently. Perhaps I've lost you now. Perhaps you are scoffing with woeful disdain. Perhaps 30 seems like a distant and enviable memory, like no age at all, like a time before the s**t hit the fan, and the economy fell apart, and the world with it.
Thirty, however, is a good age to pause and take stock. In fact, doing this is a necessity, because, as an older person advised me when I was 18, "your twenties are a long corridor". For a while, you stumble through it blindly, and experiences have the electrifying excitement or searing pain of the previously unencountered. Until, that is, patterns begin to emerge, experiences begin to repeat, and you gain a foothold in at least some respects – the corridor is both longer and wider than you had anticipated. Coming out the other end of it, and sitting among a group of people whose paths I have crossed since my late teens, this becomes evident. We have all aged; some better than others. Lithe, slender young bodies have thickened a little from office jobs. Still young faces feature gentle lines from worrying about mortgages, or the inability to secure them. Hairlines, in the less genetically fortunate, have begun to recede. We are all aging. At events like these, it becomes noticeable.
My mother never got old. She died at 58 from pancreatic cancer, and for a while, a sense of my own mortality pulsated inside me, and I was fearless. Then, as it does, that complacency of the mundane seeped back in through the cracks, and I took my health, life and (now relative) youth for granted. Sometimes, some moment will shatter that complacency, and the tender magic beneath, beseeching as the custard of a crème brulée, will be exposed.
Ursula K Le Guin, the celebrated fantasy and science fiction writer, gifted me such a moment recently, when I took her book of essays The Wave in the Mind with me on a bus journey. She wrote of her mother – "My mother died at 83, of cancer, in pain, her spleen enlarged so that her body was misshapen. Is that the person I see when I think of her? Sometimes. I wish it were not. It is a true image, yet it blurs, it clouds, a truer image. It is one memory among 50 years of memories of my mother. It is the last in time. Beneath it, behind it is a deeper, complex, ever-changing image, made from imagination, hearsay, photographs, memories . . . I see, for a moment, all that at once, I glimpse what no mirror can reflect, the spirit flashing out across the years, beautiful."
Le Guin understood that the latest version of ourselves – the last in time – is not the only version, or even the most true. We are multiplicities of self. There is not one kind of beauty, or accomplishment or contentment.

In the search for a great shrimp recipe I came across a lot of asian/stirfry ideas. I really enjoy spicy foods and love things that resemble a better version of chinese take out. I was inspired by a recipe I found on allrecipes and tailored it to what I had on hand to cook with, so I didnt have to go to the store. I went off of some great suggestions from previous people who cooked it and added some things of my own. There's only 161 calories per serving and I went ahead and served with brown rice. It was very spicy so I would suggest limiting the amount of chili powder you add if you like your food a little more tame. It was a good dish and I liked that it was easy to make, perfect for a weeknight! Also, I didn't have hoison sauce and was set on not going to the store, so I made my own and the recipe follows.
Sweet and Spicy Shrimp and Veggie Stir Fry (inspired by allrecipes.com)
1 lb Shrimp, peeled
2/3 Red Onion, chopped
2/3 cup Carrots, sliced
1/2 cup Peas, cooked
3/4 cup Broccoli florrets
5 Green Onions, sliced
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tbsp Olive Oil
4 tbsp Garlic, minced
2 tbsp Hoison Sauce (recipe follows)
1 tbsp Chili Powder
2 tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Ground Ginger
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/8 cup White Wine Vinegar
Shrimp Marinade
2tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Garlic
1 tsp Splenda
Pinch Ginger
Steam broccoli and carrots, until tender but not fully coooked. In the meantime, toss shrimp lightly in cornstarch. Put in a plastic bag and add 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp garlic, 1 tsp splenda and a pinch of ginger. Set in fridge to marinate until veggies are steamed.
Place a skillet over medium/high heat and add the oil. Toss in shrimp, green onion, red onion and garlic. Cook until shrimp is no longer translucent.
Add the hoison sauce, chili powder and soy sauce to the shrimp mix. Stir and then add ginger, red pepper, black pepper and white wine vinegar. Simmer for a minute or 2. Add in broccoli, carrots and peas and toss to coat. Serve with rice.
Hoison Sauce
4 tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Peanut Butter
1 tbsp Honey
2 tsp White Wine Vinegar
1/8 tsp Garlic Powder
2 tsp Olive Oil
1/8 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
Few drops of hot sauce
Combine in a bowl and mix until peanut butter is evenly distributed. This made about 2x what I needed.

Scenes from the Atlantic Regional
Two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to travel to the 2015 Atlantic Super Regional along with the SuperFit Games crew. This event combined the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions, which allowed it to bring in even bigger sponsors and more well-known athletes. Now in it's 8th year, the CrossFit Games is clearly focused on presentation, as they should be. The event is a real show, with $50 tickets and a jam-packed vendor village. Brands such Pure Pharma, Kill Cliff, Airrosti and LifeProof were there, not to mention the partner sponsors, Rogue, Reebok, and Progenex. As for brand ambassadors, Sam Briggs and Noah Ohlsen represented the big boys - Kill Cliff and the like, while B and C-listers wore lesser known brands. I am curious to see which previously unknown or little known athletes will get the upgrade to "Team Kill Cliff" along with their bid to the Games.
I was hoping to be more impressed by the vendor village booth, but no one company really held my attention. Reebok definitely had the most elaborate build out, but the lines for the changing rooms were too long and the whole set up for check out was pretty disjointed. More than apparel and products, the booths that seemed to get the most traction were holding spectator activities such as jump rope and handstand contests.
I think this lack of interest in the vendor area says something about the CrossFit Games attendee. For these folks, this is not a new thing, and they probably already have all their gear, as well as brand loyalty, at least for now. Overall, the traffic seemed low and I'm guessing most vendors went home having sold a lot less than they were hoping. The lesson here is to attract attention with activities, not just products, and hope that this interaction can produce an eventual online buyer. That means you better have something to send them home with - whether it's a brochure or some swag - to remind them of you. The real benefit at these events is overall brand awareness - the purchasing may come later.
As for the event itself, it was what you would expect from CrossFit Inc. Very well run, with just a few small snags that you wouldn't notice if you weren't paying attention (a workout banner with a typo; the wrong size box for women's Heat 1 of Event 3 - luckily none of the women in that heat made it to the box jump overs). The combining of regions gave the event more star power and we got to watch our SuperFit Games friends, 12 Labours CrossFit, Nathan Bramblett and Whitney Gelin advance to the CrossFit Games in Carson, CA. Congrats to the athletes who moved forward and to the brands who made the effort to be there to support the event!

114 Entries for "pile"
I looked at the pile of papers with dread. So much work. If I don't do it I might be fired. But if I do it I'll lose sleep. Will I ever win?
OBryonsville attracted me in the summer of my 19th year, while I was still restless and continued to move about listlessly. The main street was lined with art parlours and coffee shops full of old women meeting once and again, wearing piles of makeup and preparing weeks in advance. I lost myself for a time. The sun shone always on that peculiar strip, and the structure of the buildings were in an old fashion which attracted me. Time had lesser influence.
It would be here that I met the man who I would learn so much from, and in return, I would write him this.
There was a gigantic pile of rubble where her dining room table had once been. Rubble is what it seemed to her now, but it had once been paper and yarn and books. It had calcified over the years into this immovable pile, this pile beyond all recognition or hope, this pile of crap so deep and so wide there was no way to use the table, or even to find it.
Every life is a pile of good things and bad things, he told her. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things either.
And in that moment, she supposes it was the right thing to say. But now, now that she was alone and he was gone, maybe it didn't quite work so well. All she could make out was one pile, one ominous mess of the good and the bad stacked precariously high.
Perhaps she could sort through it. The top, the outside, those would be safe. Soft memories and quaint trains of thought she kept upfront to hide behind. But the bottom, the buried, those were less friendly.
So she climbs to the peak and sits on the mass of sugar-coated dynamite, buying her time until someone else makes her topple.
there is a pile of papers just waiting to be written. They lie on the desk, while the student procrastinates to avoid the ever-growing workload. They instead turn to the internet
The pile of leaves sat quietly at my feet. A gust of wind would so easily take them away from me; sending them into a whirling dance of colors. But alas, here they lay, for my viewing pleasure. Slowly, but with deliberation, I kick the pile, for I am in control of my own destiny.
pile it on. the laundry awaits the soi disant happy housewife. careless as a commercial visage staring out over a cityscape. piled about the functionary, his paperwork took on an air of menace or so it seemed to him.
Their lips and teeth clacked like ice cubes in a clammy glass. He piled her shirt on top of her shorts and seemed to melt the rest off her bones. Then, once, she was disassembled they stared at each other. She shivered.
Leaves. Every autumn, we raked up the leaves together. Just me and my dad. The he'd toss me up into the air and I'd come down with a squeal of laughter and a rush of flailing limbs and I'd shout "Again! Again!" So we'd rake them back and repeat.
He hefted the dark mass onto his shovel and lunged back into the heat of the furnace. The pile of charcoal never seemed to diminish, his dreams (bubbling throughout the day under the labor) never seemed to set to motion or dwindle quite like the steam room. Its steadiness was the only thing keeping him there. He left everyday grim but a part of him was pleased with setting something forward. The crew leader never bothered him, not while the engine roared and clattered so loudly. The break whistle screamed and he fell back into the heap, bent at the knee. It caught his fall. He was so stained and bone wearied that one of the foremen could just as easy pile him into the furnace. It was whimsical thought; a first in months.
Pile of mud
Pile of hopes and dreams, clustered together, waiting to be discarded and reused, unwanted and broken.
They all pile onto the bus, squashed and uncomfortable.
A pile of books, stacked haphazardly, leaning, swaying as if going to fall.
it was pile of lust
jealously, eyeless eyes
glances, silence
you looked to your right
and saw me from your left
and yet you kept on talking
before we were dead
piled everything on
there's nothing here
we're done
it was a pile of lust
of jealously, lust, love, hate
stop it love, stop makin' me hate
We collapsed into a pile of bodies, heaving with exertion and exalting at our own brilliance. Never before had a pack run through New York the way we did. Never before was anyone so daring.
there was a pile of dirty clothes on the floor beside her bed. she could smell them from where she lay pressed against the wall, blankly staring at the pillow next to her. the laundry was stale and musty, much like the rest of the room. everything was silent but for the buzzing of a lone fly.
There was still a pile of clothes at the end of their-his bed. She had left them behind and he couldn't bear to touch them, her rain-soaked-pavement scent saturating the balled up material. It was heaven and hell all at the bottom of his bed.
the pile was huge- overflowing and ginormous in every way. It was magnificent. Inspiring. Books, every where. Pile after pile of books, fantastic, wonderful, fragrant books. I didn't know what to think. I wanted to pick one up, but- which one? There were so many; I couldn't choose. The room was very nearly filled to the brim with piles of books. I didn't know how I fit. It was ridiculous.
Mal wieder keine Ahnung was das heißt. Ich muss dringend mein Englisch aufbessern. Ich ärgere mich so darüber, dass meine Schulbildung so unglaublich schlecht war. Gerne würde ich mehr wissen und können aber alles muss ich mir mühsam aneignen.
Her face was rough needing a good wipe. The cotton circles removed the outer layers of foundation and pencil marks, eyeshadow and light creams. She placed the dirty cotton pads one ontop of another, ontop of the white modern sink just under the mirror. It took ages to remove most of her makeup. She thought about tomorrow. It was easy to think about her next face for the next day when the sink had the remnants of her yesterday's face.
multi items above each other
head of an arrow
on the top of this pile, and slowly sinking down, all i can see is darkness and the world folding in over me, buried alive, crying alone, laughing to myself, and struggling to get away. life is never quite what it seems, because our predictions are never quite right

Brenda & Corbin | Western Massachusetts Camp Wedding/
"True love stories never have endings."
Richard Bach
Last year, I had the pleasure of shooting Brenda & Corbin's wedding. Brenda is a good friend of my sister and she saw my work when I was JUST starting out. She saw what I did and trusted me and I am truly grateful to her for that.
Every time Brenda and I would discuss the wedding, the word that was thrown around repeatedly was fun and she really nailed everything about it. From all her homemade details to all the activities planned, from start to finish it was just fun. Brenda and Corbin rented out Camp Howe for the weekend festivities and truly made it a full weekend affair with guests being able to stay in the cabins and enjoy entertainment that continued through the wedding day itself! I kid you not when I say there was multiple musical performers, a lantern send off over the water and fire dancers. (Yes, I just said fire dancers - and yes, it was amazing!)
Their wedding day was a combining of their families, of their 4 sons and really just celebrating the love of these two fun and loving people.

At the Queen Elizabeth Hall to see Toni Morrison, here to promote her new book, A Mercy.
These 'in conversation' things can be a bit surreal – an intimate chat until they look up and then, hey, what are all these people doing in my room?
Some readings on an NPR page are here as downloads.
Sneaked some wobbly photos from Row E. I should have seen if I could have done some proper pics backstage; I found a listing too late that she was also reading at Hatchards the following day, a smaller gig, so I could have got to Row A. Ho hum.
An event to follow was in the QEH Front Room, i.e. the space by the bar. Posh music.
Then on my way home, an encounter with some of those terrifying young people on the tube. They were insistant that they were not from Kings College.
High culture all around.

The day before we left Burma, we woke up in the pitch dark and headed out in the early morning to catch one final sunrise.
This wasn't the easiest thing to do due to the lack of street lights. We had also disconnected our own lights to divert dynamo power to our USB charger, so we were riding by starlight and the dim headlamp of the odd passing motorbike. Romantic, but hairy.
With dead silence all around, we explored as best we could, trying to find a good place to take it in. One flat-roofed building in a great location looked promising, but once again we were thwarted by a giant wasps' nest at the end of a corridor. With the sky beginning to lighten, it was time to find a vantage point, and we turned up a dirt track following a troop of tourists on electric scooters, figuring they knew something. Lucky for us, they all scrambled up one temple and we picked another nearby that had just as good a view, but only one other person on it. Result.
Then we sat and waited and watched.
As we watched the landscape sharpen and come into focus with the increasing light, we reminisced on what it had taken for us to get here.
From dawn until dusk for the past three weeks, our senses have been wracked with the sights and smells of Burma, to the point where we have it coming out of our pores. Our interactions with the towns, the people, and the roads have been simultaneously fleeting and somehow everlasting. As a result of that, we have lived every moment as if we would never do so again, and the days have felt incredibly long and full.
Submerging ourselves into this country and culture the way that we had was possible only because of cycling. Riding a bike enabled us to breathe the same dust, survive the same road, appreciate the same tea, and see the same things as ordinary people in Burma every day. Our story is certainly not the standard one of skipping about between Yangon, Bagan, and Mandalay. Don't get us wrong, if that's your cup of tea, that's OK. But in our opinion, Burma is too special to limit yourself to just those three spots. Live a little, step outside your comfort zone, and you just might find yourself in a tiny village in the middle of nowhere being the only Westerners within a 90 mile radius, and laughing along with the locals as you all try to communicate with hand gestures and smiles.
So, why should you visit?
Because the political temperature is changing by the day. In the 2015 Burmese general elections, the National League for Democracy won the supermajority of seats in the government, issuing in an unprecedented call for reform in favour of human rights, freedom of speech, and peace and prosperity for all citizens. This means that the country will continue to open up and experience the influx of Westernisation that always seems to come along with such transformation. As a result, the Burma that we know now, with its rich, cultural, and painful history will slowly cease to exist.
A country is nothing without its people, and a universal quality that we found in the ones belonging to Burma is kindness. Despite the corrupt, crippling regime that has stolen from them for so many years, they still know nothing other than to open up their arms to us strangers. Some cynics might say that incessant brainwashing and indoctrination is the cause of that. But we prefer to think they're just gentle and good. Nobody is forcing all these people to put themselves out as they do for the likes of us.
Those who travel here have a responsibility to preserve and give back as much as possible. Try and leave it a bit better than when you first came. Change was long overdue here, and the pent-up desire for it will surely see mistakes being made as they scramble to catch up. The wind of change will blow as it sees fit, and the citizens will have to bend to it. Before too long, the corporate vultures will strip away the uniqueness of this place, and it will become like any other major Southeast Asian hotspot. But until it does, treat this fragile culture with respect.
We're already seeing Burma being pushed to the forefront of the media today. The world is interested and it is watching, which means that the country is responding. Things like Top Gear having permission to do one of their specials there, or a recent decree passed right after we had left which prevents tourists from free-climbing up the temples of Bagan ever again due to litter and defacement. Like or not, we are the conduits for this shift. They never asked us to show up. So let's take care of it.
Because if we do, it will be good to us. We need more compassion and humanity in this world.
When we first thought about doing this trip, we were nothing but two idiots with a dream. Now, one tandem, three weeks, 1,200 kilometers, and eleventy billion pagodas later, we're two idiots with sore backsides who swapped the dream for an everlasting memory.
It was exhilarating, exhausting, and exactly what we hoped it would be.
From the fellow kindred tourers who we met on the road, to the literally hundreds of Burmese people who laughed and waved at us every day, to our friends and family back home who were rooting for us - the positive response has been overwhelming and we are truly touched by its sheer volume.
If you have the choice, go explore the world on a bike. It will make your heart burst with happiness.
We hope the next cyclist we see along the way is you.

The best and some of the greatest blockbuster movies of our time have continuity errors! Some required audiences with eagle eyes to spot the mistakes, and some are far more obvious. When filming over a period of days, weeks or even longer periods continuity becomes a very difficult task to manage for any production, and an essential part of the filmmaking process.
Who is responsible for continuity? The script supervisor, also known as or called the continuity supervisor is a key member of a film crew who oversees continuity. This includes set dressing, wardrobe, props…Read More

Andy Weaver Preps for 60 mile race/
Andy Weaver has been coming to the garage for about 7 months and has used our training to help prepare for a 60 mile trail race which is coming up soon. Andy was nice enough to answer a few questions in case any of you freaks wants to give something like this a try. We wish Andy luck and will catch up with him after the race is over to gather a little more info on how someone might prepare, finish and recover from a race like this.
TR: Hey Andy! Tell us about the race you are getting ready to do.
AW: It is the Rock Creek Chattanooga Mountains Stage Race, and it's part of the Salomon Trail Series. It's a three day event that covers three mountains and 60 miles. Friday is 18 miles on the mountain bike trails of Raccoon Mountain, Saturday is 22 miles on the Lula Lake Land trust and Covenant College trails of Lookout Mountain, and Sunday is the bear. 20 miles on Signal Mountain staying mainly on the Cumberland trail.
TR: Have you ever done it before?
AW: Yes. I ran it in 2012. It is still the hardest race I have ever run. It is so demanding, because you have to keep waking up for three days and running again. I remember waking up the second morning thinking there is no way I can run 22 miles today, but I did. It took about 3-5 miles to work the muscles out but once I got moving I felt great. Signal was just flat out tough. The stretch from mushroom rock up to signal point was hell. It was very rocky and extremely technical, very hard to settle into a rhythm. It was 96 degrees when I finished the race on Sunday and I started feeling very cold. I had a temp of 104 and stayed sick for a week. Wait, why am I doing this again?
TR: What have you done to prepare for this race?
AW: I have trained a lot of different ways this time. Since the last time I did this I have incorporated CrossFit into my training. It has taken my stamina and endurance above what I imagined I could do. I ran 3-4 times per week with 1-2 days of CrossFit. I did a lot of extra leg work as well.
TR: Have you changed your diet?
AW: Not too much. Just try to stay away from white bread and refined added sugar. I eat a lot of fat and protein.
TR: How many miles per week are you running?
AW: About 20-40 depending on that weeks intensity.
TR: How much road vs trail miles?
AW: Most of the weekly miles were on the road. My weekend long runs were all done on the trail, except for the 20 miler I did when I ran to your house for the Jon Atwater fundraiser.
TR: What shoes are you using for training and for the race?
AW: My road shoes are brooks pure cadence, trail shoes are brooks pure grit, and probably come Sunday I'll pull out my Hokas
TR: How are you planning your nutrition for the race?
AW: I'm just going to make sure I eat every 30 mins. That's my body's perfect time for refueling. I'll be eating fruit and nuts and m&ms or really whatever i can grab from the aid station.
TR: What advice would you give someone who wanted to do this race next year?
AW: Just allow yourself 3 months or more of training. The key to any long race is getting in plenty of long runs. You need a long run to where you feel like you can't take another step, then run 3 more miles. It's all mental. You just have to convince your body that it's capable of way more. Easier said than done.
TR: Do you have a goal time?
AW: In 2012, I did it in 11 hrs and 16 mins. My goal is to shave 45 mins off my total time.
TR: Thanks! Good luck on the race. We will talk to you and get a second interview after the race.

Have you ever considerd traveling the world to explore beauty across the globe, meet new people, but still earn a living?
Then I suggest you try living as a digital nomad.
What is a digital nomad? It's really just a new way of saying you are a location-independent entrepreneur, with the ability to travel and work online wherever you desire.
That's me. I work exclusively online so I can have location independence. I like my freedom and I like living in new places.
Now, nomad living is not for everyone. And sometimes I don't even know if I'm cut out for it. And I've been traveling this globe for nearly 17 years now. I think you need to either have or develop a certain mindset to live on the road.
- Learn to let go of things you love and frequently adjust your dreams.
- Be able to adjust your plans constantly. Avoid limiting yourself by planning months ahead.
- Be ok with running into a lot of technical difficulties.
HERE ARE THE 7 BIGGEST CHALLENGES (+ solutions) YOU'LL ENCOUNTER
1) Problem: Spotty Internet Connection
Good internet is almost everywhere, right? Wrong!
Connectivity dominates my life. As a coach I have to be online at certain times for Skype calls and I have to be in an area that has sufficient internet, mostly in the middle of the night.
So while we all see these romantic images of people by a pool or a beach, all too often I find myself on a hilltop with my phone strapped to a stick so I can hot spot the 3G because the rain killed the wifi.
I actually have a little pillow with me that makes sitting on a rock for several hours at a time more comfortable.
You will learn that your wifi actually depends on the weather. It seems to go down with the rain.
- Be prepared. Travel slowly. Do you research first and make sure you have backup plans, meaning you need to identify the hot spots near you so you can seamlessly run your business.
- Having my phone's 3G as a backup to a hot spot has been a life saver many times.
- Go for a walk and figure out where the 3G is the strongest. Know your reception angles.
- Make sure that your clients are aware of your lifestyle and wifi challenges (you can adjust your price accordingly and live more stress free).
2) Problem: Staying in touch internationally
Your phone does not work everywhere and the international roaming rates are astronomical.
- Get a local sim card everywhere you go. You want to be able to make local calls and the ability to hotspot your computer when the local wifi is spotty.
- Before you leave, make sure your phone is unlocked. You want to buy a local sim card with an internet package upon arrival. This will makes your life a whole lot easier. You can access mobile apps and maintain your productivity.
- Do a little research first and ask fellow travelers which providers have networks with the widest range. There are websites with this information, but I don't find them very reliable. Word of mouth from traveling experts works best.
For example, I live in an area of Thailand with three beaches. One network provider only works in one of the beaches–and not very well. The other one has really great reception (hotspot-worthy for Skype calls) from one beach and on all the hilltops.
This means I usually get a place on the beach with the 3G reception so I can work from home. Otherwise I will always have to run up and down the hill for calls, which is a pain in the ass in the middle of the night. Not to mention the creatures of the night (aka snakes) are very unpleasant.
Magical apps for seamless connectivity:
Google voice – My US-based number is set up via Google Voice. My entire business runs through that number and I have access to it from everywhere via their app. I don't miss a single call or text. EVER!
WhatsApp – Amazing app with by far the best location share features–far superior to google map. Make sure you keep you Whatsapp to ONE phone number for ALL your contacts. I have mine set to my US number. This way no matter how often I change my local sim card, my contacts will ALWAYS find me on there. There is also a great desktop extension now. Plus I love leaving voice messages.on whatsapp. I don't want to type everything I say.
Facetime + iMessage (iPhone users only) – Keep them set to your email address at all times. This way people have your contact in their phone via your iCloud email. This keeps calls and iMessages consistent independent from your local phone number and sim. Facetime audio and video is free, and often works better than Skype or Google Hangout.
Facebook Messenger – Thank you for letting us now call each other on there as well. It completely eliminates the need to exchange local numbers between traveling friends, and it works fairly well. Would not recommend it for work calls. Voice messages on FB messenger are also amazing. I love hearing people's voices when you travel and can't see them. It's nice to hear your friend's voice from time to time.
Viber – Always a great backup. A real headache for those of us who frequently change sim cards since it is complicated to register your device each time.
And don't forget to do a DIGITAL DETOX for 24hours every week.
Voluntary or not . Go to the beach. Enjoy the day. Take a digital detox day. Don't sweat it if you cannot get connected. Learn the art of surrender and going with the flow.
3) Problem: Protecting Gadgets and Data
My life revolves around my computer. And I'm often in places where nothing can be replaced easily. I've learned the hard way that you've got to protect your gadgets. The humidity has killed many of my hard drives.
- Buy well known brands with warranty + insurance. Most companies honor these internationally.
- Have more than one device (laptop + tablet + phone).
- Keep them all in proper sleeves that protect them from the elements and do not leave them lying around open.
- Keep rice bags in the sleeves (or the little bags you find in dry goods. They work great as well and will absorb the moisture).
- Get a wet bag when near a beach or (like me) constantly traveling on a boat.
- Make sure you have AC from time to time – it removes the moisture from your luggage.
- Use a keybord cover to protect your keys from sand and spilled drinks.
- Get one international adaptor.
Back up your stuff:
Just keep everything on a cloud server. Personally, I have everything saved between my Google drive and Dropbox. I travel with two hard drives – one to give to people to exchange stuff, and the second forlocal backups, just in case.
Make your life easy and keep everything on a cloud server. You gadgets will fail at some point.
4) Problem: One Way Tickets + Visas
When buying a one way ticket, I get often annoyed with some countries' strict policies of having an onward ticket. Not because I try to overstay my allowance, but because I really cannot plan 30 days in advance most of the time.
Solution: Buy a 48-hour refundable ticket the day before you enter the country OR best hack ever: flyonward.com
If you want to stay longer start considering visa runs. I usually pick a home base in one area and then see the surrounding countries during a week I take off to get a new 30 or 60 day visa. I visit friends and see the rest of the world.
I am not a backpacker anymore. I need a home base. You do however start developing a bit of destination boredom. Luxury problems.
5) Problem: Feeling Homeless After a While
One of the biggest problems people face while traveling is the alienation of not having a space to call your own. Hotel rooms (Airbnb, hostels, or wherever else you may choose to stay) tend to have cookie cutter furniture and decorations that are seriously impersonal or simply just not your space.
Solution: Make yourself at home wherever you go.
I recommend you unpack as soon as you arrive and transform the room into your own space.
Bring some lightweight decorations and amenities you can put in the room. I always travel with scarves, sarongs, and a little travel altar. As soon as I arrive, they come out and get placed over TVs, shelves, and walls. This way I'm always looking at things that are familiar, pleasant, and make me feel at home. Whatever you choose to bring, whether it be crystals, pictures, or whatever, make sure it's something dear to you that makes you feel safe and comfortable.
6) Problem: Limited WARDROBE and Possessions:
I don't travel with a backpack. I have a small and lightweight suitcase. I carry a small backpack sufficient for a week-long adventure for a visa run and enough straps for my yoga mat. My wardrobe is small and basic. When traveling, you really wear your clothes to the ground. Problems may arise when you are invited to a formal event, and you most likely have nothing to wear.
Buy what you need, as you need it. Buy what makes you feel happy and leave something behind in its place behind. In my Facebook profile I always seems to be wearing the same clothes – because I am. But I'm ok with that because it gives me freedom to live the life that I want, without being weighed down with unnecessary possessions.
There are things I'm very protective of because they cannot easily be replaced:
- My passport
- My shoes (I have big feet and in most countries cannot buy new ones)
- My computer
- My phone
- My yoga mat
- My ATM card
7) Other Common Annoyances + Solutions
Problem: Bank fees are costly.
Solution: Take out cash in each country via ATM and get a good credit card that lets you use it without foreign transaction fees.
Problem: Travel partners that don't work.
Solution: Just avoid it. They mess with your sense of freedom and workflow.
Problem: Having to think about an address upon immigration.
Solution: I make sure my destination has a Four Seasons or otherwise well-known resort and use that on every immigration form, and use flyonward.com if you don't actually know where you are going next.
Problem: Unfamiliar noises. Like being woken up by roosters.
Solution: Get up with the roosters and do yoga…Or get a really good set of earplugs.
Traveling seamlessly rarely exists. There is always a problem with the ticket, the place, the sim card, the internet, the location… And life can get really hard very fast. As a digital nomad we still work. We sometimes work a lot under really shitty conditions. But we love it anyway.

Stockopedia Interviews Ensemble Analyst Todd Wenning About Moats
Earlier this summer in New York City, I met up with Ben Hobson from Stockopedia, a U.K.-based stock market data subscription service designed for retail investors. Ben was in the States interviewing various investors and he and I spoke at length about economic moats – a subject near and dear to us at Ensemble.
Among other things, we discussed the dangers of investing in dividend-paying stocks with deteriorating moats, the increasing difficulty of screening for moats, and the intersection of moats and management.

It is easy to get caught up in the outward trappings of what many people see as signs of success. We live in a world that often portrays successful people as having the ability to acquire everything they desire and to live a life of opulence and wealth. Certainly, wealth allows us more freedom of choice and opportunity but does that equate to success?
There is truth in the old adage, 'money can't buy happiness,' and if your financial success doesn't align with what success means to you on a personal level, then what have you actually achieved? Can you maintain longterm business success by chasing trends and by just trying to be better than your competitors? Absolutely not. It's not possible to have sustainable business success if, at a fundamental level, the value isn't there.
Value is at the heart of all sustainable success.
Your values are what makes you unique. The only way to really succeed in the long run is to fully and completely embrace and act on your own unique potential. When you pursue your personal best, supported by your own values and passions, you have only your own best to reach for. There is no room for compromise or to be swayed by competitors and current trends. You are charting your own, distinct course to success; driven by your internal desire to define and create success in alignment with your values. When fully engaged and in tune with your values, nothing can stop you from working to achieve the results you desire.
What can you do to achieve longterm success that aligns with your values?
Take time to discover your own unique values and potential. Invest time in understanding yourself better - what are your values, beliefs and your passions? What is your life's purpose, as you define it?
- Define what success means to you on both a personal level and a business level. Make sure these are in alignment and then seek to continuously improve your natural talents and skills so that you are always striving to be the best you can be, both in your personal life and your business life.
- Share your unique values and skills with others. As renowned leadership coach, John Maxwell said, "One is too small a number to achieve greatness." You can make a significant and a lasting contribution by sharing your gifts with others. Further, by sharing with others, you will be motivated to continue on your own journey of personal discovery and mastery.
- Aim to make a significant contribution. Seek success that aligns with your personal values and that goes beyond your individual desires to make a positive impact on the people around you, on your community and beyond.
By investing time in understanding your unique values and potential, you will have more confidence, courage and conviction than ever before to bring significant meaning and success to both your personal life and to your business.
"A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself he always appears to be doing both."
~ François-René de Chateaubriand
To your Success, Differently,

How to negotiate multiple offers if you are a Seller | San Francisco Real Estate Podcast
How to negotiate multiple offers if you are selling real estate.
Congrats, you've listed your house and you now have a stack of buyer offers to review. What is the best way to negotiate to get the most money for your home.
1. What is the goal of selling the house? Is it to make the most money, or to sell to the right person?
2. Should I send a "best and final" multiple counter offer, or should I let the other buyers know our current highest offer?
Please see the excerpt below from the San Francisco Real Estate Podcast:
So you just listed your home, and it's a seller's market. I'm sure your agent prepped you that chances are, if your house is priced right, within the first week or two, you're probably gonna get a stack full of offers. You're gonna be getting lots of offers here in San Francisco. How do you know which one to take? How do you know which offer to counter? That's a common question, you know? Typically what happens is this, your real estate agent will sit down with you, and when you review the offers... actually before you review the offers, your agent should be asking you what is your number one goal? Is your number one goal to make the most money possible? For a lot of people, their number one goal is to cash out and to make the most money possible.

Above: Amtico's designers created this sleek and inviting kitchen floor design by combining Umbra Eclipse with Basilica Shell stripping – the edge detail surrounding each tile – in a Random Stone laying pattern. Swirls of pattern drift across the Umbra tiles for a dusky, chic and seamless finish.
At Amtico, we're dedicated to original design. We develop truly innovative LVT products that help our customers to create flooring for their homes that's beautiful and original. To do this, our in-house design team travel the globe to find inspiration and stay ahead of the trends. Umbra, which we introduced to our Signature collection in June 2016, is a true reflection of these inspirational travels.
Here to tell you a bit about Umbra is Karen Quarterman, Amtico's Design Manager.
Umbra is original – no two tiles are the same. With its effortless linear appearance, Umbra experiments with movement and flow to create a non-repeating pattern.
When working through creative ideas for Umbra, the design team explored how light, shadows, fabric and liquids blend together to give this product its dynamic, layered effect that flows easily, whether you choose tiles or planks.
Umbra's monochromatic tones help to create three highly useable grey colourways – Umbra Eclipse, Umbra Dusk and Umbra Veil. They give a beautiful balance of warm and cool tones to suit different spaces within a home.
Umbra sits within Signature's Abstract palette and provides choice across three colourways. Umbra Eclipse, as shown in the modern kitchen design above, offers the deepest tone, featuring dramatic smoke blue and rich blacks. With Umbra Dusk, the overall look is that of a mid-grey tone, but one that cleverly balances both warm and cool greys. And providing the lightest tonal choice is Umbra Veil with its soft flow of cool pale blue and warm dove grey.
You can try Umbra in different virtual rooms sets around the home with our easy to use online Room Visualiser. Just choose a room, select your Umbra product and see how it looks as a flooring design.

Heading into training camp and preseason, San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers was perhaps the most notable quarterback still seeking an extension.
After it seemed like a deal wouldn't get done at all, the two sides suddenly came to an agreement on a four-year, $83.25 million deal.
While that deal may not look as flashy as some quarterback extensions — like Cam Newton's five-year, $103 million deal— it contains a whopping $65 million in guaranteed money.
Also notable, according to ProFootball Talk's Mike Florio, Rivers' base salary is $15 million this season — down from $15.7 million last year. However, he also received a $22.5 million signing bonus, bringing his earnings this year to $37.5 million!
This is huge, because in most of these deals it is the first-year money that is only truly guaranteed with the rest of the guarantee only being tied to a career-ending injury.
In comparison, Russell Wilson's four-year, $88 million extension had $61.5 million in guaranteed money. But besides for Wilson's massive $31 million signing bonus and $700,000 in salary this season, the rest of the deal is basically team options.
Rivers' deal is similar except that he gets more first-year money and more guarantees than any of the five biggest guaranteed contracts agreed to in the last year:
Ndamukong Suh is actually a rare exception in that he got his 2016 and 2017 salaries fully guaranteed; however, the percentage of his deal that's guaranteed is actually still less than Rivers.
Each of these monster extensions become bargaining chips for the next quarterback due for an extension. Wilson was likely able to use Newton's deal to get more guaranteed money. Rivers was likely able to use Wilson's deal to get such a large first-year guarantee. Now, Eli Manning, due for an extension, wants to become the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL, likely after seeing Rivers' deal.
Going forward, it'll be interesting to see how teams navigate these waters, paying their quarterbacks while also not falling victim to topping each contract, one after the other.

Last night, I went to Six Flags Great Adventure for their annual Fright Fest, so I took an opportunity to make some photographs of ghouls and goblins and such. It was a great time, and I loved the unique costumes and different setups they had. I got genuinely startled a few times!

The new alkaline trio album may be one of their strongest releases in about 10 years, I'm loving it so much. They have spooky lyrics so that counts right?

Kat's Movie: The Shape of Water
Here on Amazon
This week I'm inspired by "The Shape of Water" I just saw that movie this weekend and there are just so many things that are hauntingly beautiful about it. The grimy scenes set in 1950's Baltimore along with the vintage music compliment each other perfectly. Parts of it are actually very reminiscent of the Bioshock games. Also, it IS described as part love story, part monster movie so……kinda on Halloween theme there?
Zach's TV Show: Castle Rock
Here on Hulu
Castle Rock is an odd TV Show on Hulu about a small town that is supposedly haunted. The series is actually based on several of Stephen King's novels like 'Kujo," and 'The Body,' more aptly know by its film adaptation: 'Stand By Me.' The town's inhabitants struggle with their history and a boy who appears out of the jail's basement. Through a series of mind-boggling time jumps and odd bits of storytelling, you're left with a mystery to solve.
