Constantly inspired by the endless beauty of the Adirondack Park, we are always discovering new facets of the within and around the blue line that motivate us to get out and explore it. We originally designed this website to share our stories, laughs, and experiences and put a personal touch on making the most of the Adirondacks. By documenting our discoveries through photos, videos, and personalized posts, we hoped that our website and social media channels would not only act as an educational and informational resource, but also as an entertaining way to get a unique view on all that the Adirondack Park has to offer. Today, our travel site is an established brand in the region and we strive to continue evolving; from expanding our product line and offering unique marketing services to sharing personal adventures and finding ways to give back to the local communities.
Growing up in the Adirondacks, specifically in the small town of Wilmington near the Olympic Village of Lake Placid, I learned early on to appreciate the uniqueness of my hometown. Waking up to thick forests and old mountains outside of my window was a view that never got old. As a kid right on through high school, almost every winter weekend was spent skiing, and later instructing, at Whiteface Mountain and summers were spent boating and camping. While attending Clarkson University, I spent many weekends re-visiting the region to explore new places and expose friends to outdoor adventures like hiking in the High Peaks. I've had the opportunity to travel to some beautiful places both outside and around the USA, including the Canadian Rockies, Iceland, New Zealand, and the Virgin Islands, but I have to say the Adirondack Park rivals many places as a top destination in terms of its unique natural setting.

Summers spent camping in the Adirondacks with my family are some of my fondest childhood memories. Those early Adirondack explorations definitely influenced the love of hiking, kayaking, and all things outdoors that I have now! The natural beauty of the mountains piqued my interest in diversity and biological sciences, helping inspire me to pursue a degree in environmental science at Clarkson University (where I met Evan!), on the outskirts of the Adirondack Park. My passion for the environment lead Evan and I to Syracuse, where I earned my masters degree at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry and have continued building my career working for an environmental consulting firm. After a full week of working, I always look forward to weekends spent camping out under the stars or breaking trails after a fresh snowfall.Connect with me: Instagram | LinkedIn
We'll speak on behalf of Lucy since she's busy sleeping on the bed at the moment. Lucy joined our family/team in September 2016. She's a German Shepherd Mix and has quite a personality. She loves snow, water, playing, and just being outdoors in general. We adopted her from Helping Hounds in Syracuse, NY and since she's become a huge part of our daily life and outdoor adventures around the New York State, the Adirondacks, and beyond. Per usual we will be taking lots of photos when we are out and about, so be sure to check out her profile on Instagram - @lucytheadk9

The Foreign Secretary, Douglas Hurd, confirmed that the Ministry of Defence had offered assurances to Canada following fears that its troops in Srebrenica might come under heavy assault. 'If the Canadians come under that kind of attack, we would do our best to help,' he said. There were 'assets' in the areas, including aircraft at Bari in Italy and on ships in the Adriatic, British officials confirmed. Downing Street sources were making it known that they were leaning towards air strikes, partly because Britain considers air strikes a 'least worst' case.
The United States has still not publicly made clear what options it prefers if attempts to impose pressure on the Bosnian Serbs are to be toughened. In this sense, Britain is now out ahead of the Americans at no cost. Its plan in fact adds little, since it was always likely that other forces would support the Canadians. And, as Douglas Hurd admitted, they are in no imminent danger. But it sent, and was intended to send, a signal to Washington and the Bosnian Serbs. The EC ministers emphasised in their post- summit statement that sanctions are still the main element of their attempt to force Bosnian Serbs to accept the Vance-Owen peace plan. New UN sanctions come into force today: the EC is to double the number of sanctions monitors and will consider additional measures.
But this seemed limp in comparison with the debate in Washington. It was also overshadowed by the British move, which was unilateral, does not need any further UN action, and is in support of a Nato ally. The EC statement emphasised that no options were excluded, but eschewed any direct reference to military options, leaving the Europeans again apparently divided and uncertain.
Alain Juppe, the French Foreign Minister, said it was likely to be weeks before it could be said whether sanctions had worked. He said that there was a 'consensus' that the US idea of lifting the arms embargo on Bosnian Muslims was not a good idea. Britain and France, both Security Council members, seemed to be moving together on the issue. Warren Christopher, the US Secretary of State, will probably tour European capitals this week to consult the allies on his decisions. He is also due to meet EC foreign ministers on or about 9 June, before Nato ministers meet in Athens. It is unlikely that final decisions will be made before then, according to one European source. Mr Hurd emphasised that there were a number of practical considerations on air strikes: how to protect UN troops, the legal base for any action and the protection of civilians.
There will also have to be discussions with Russia. All of this seemed premature and irritating to many ministers. Dick Spring, the Irish Foreign Minister, spoke for many of them when he said that 'military action does not mean a military solution'. The Irish have proposed for Bosnia a version of the 'safe havens' that were used in northern Iraq; a no- fly zone is already in place. The President of the Council, Denmark's Niels Helveg Petersen, was even gloomier. 'I am profoundly apprehensive about military activities,' he said.
Klaus Kinkel, the German Foreign Minister, was said by one of his colleagues to have been privately scathing about Britain and France, two Security Council powers, accusing them of 'playing games'. Only Germany supported the idea of lifting the arms embargo on Bosnian Muslims.
Jacques Delors, the Commission's President, hardly spoke at the press conference after the meeting, except to say that Council 'discipline' meant that there was not much he could say. There could be no greater demonstration of the truth of a paper prepared by the Commission, which lamented that Europe was a long way from being a superpower and remained in the shadow of the US.Reuse content

The luxury car maker Rolls-Royce yesterday found itself under the command of its third chairman in the space of six months after the abrupt departure of its latest German boss.
The luxury car maker Rolls-Royce yesterday found itself under the command of its third chairman in the space of six months after the abrupt departure of its latest German boss.
BMW, the Munich-based car maker which now owns the Rolls marque, announced that Karl-Heinz Kalbfell had left to take up a job with another unnamed motor manufacturer. He had been in the job only since May when he replaced the ousted Tony Gott, who left after falling out with his German masters.
Mr Kalbfell has been replaced by BMW's finance director, Stefan Krause, who will double up in the job of Rolls chairman until a long-term successor can be found. He or she will almost certainly come from within BMW.
A Rolls spokesman maintained that the latest upheaval in its management ranks in no way reflected the performance of the company. He said that production of the new £250,000 Phantom model was now running at five cars a day and sales were on target to reach 1,000 this year.
In the nine months to the end of September, Rolls sold only 490 Phantoms from its Goodwood plant near Chichester. However, sales of the luxury marque are heavily weighted to the last three months of the year when buyers, particularly those in the United States, decide whether they have had a good enough year to splash out on a new Rolls.
The Phantom has a top speed of 150mph, accelerates from 0 to 60mph in under six seconds and comes with lambs-wool floor rugs, GPS navigational aids and a nine-amplier, 13-speaker sound system as standard. But most buyers spend far more than the basic £250,000 having their car customised.
Along with its oversized price tag, the Phantom is also one of the biggest production cars ever built in Britain - weighing in at some two-and-a-half tonnes and taking up nearly 20 feet of road. BMW, which took control of the company in 1998 after agreeing to pay just £40m for the rights to the Rolls marque, has invested £65m in the new purpose-built factory on the south coast, sited next to Goodwood House, home of Glorious Goodwood and the annual Festival of Speed.

The Obama's Secret Extravagant Halloween Party
Back in January 2009 newly-elected President Obama admonished the nation that everyone must give up something for the good of the country:
Everyone must sacrifice for the greater good Everyone must have some skin in the game.But by October of the same year he and Michelle were throwing an extravagant Gilded Age-style Halloween party with an Alice in Wonderland theme:
[Johnny] Depp greeted guests in the costume he had worn in a film version of the Lewis Carroll story released around the same time by Burton, who was given carte blanche to transform the state dining room into a Mad Hatters tea party in his signature creepy-comic style.So why didn't we hear about this at the time? Because the Obama White House conspired with the White House press corps to keep it a secret:
The White House press corps was allowed to report on more modest festivities earlier that day for Washington-area school children, but did not release details of the more glamorous festivities that occurred later for what was the Obamas' first Halloween in office in 2009.Because this would be just the kind of thing that upsets the proletariat when they need to be focused on their first Four Year Plan.
Update: Morgen at Verum Serum has more details including some photos taken at the party.

[Sting replied] At the time I thought it was very amusing but then it sort of became a cause celebrate The tantric hours got extended and, suddenly, I was doing it all day long. Well, if only!

Much like a Martian spacecraft, a huge new factory that makes porcelain bathroom fixtures is a startling sight on the farmland outside this worn-down city of 25,000 in a remote corner of the Balkans.
Downtown, an old factory has been refurbished with the latest machines to make chromium-plated brass faucets and other plumbing fixtures.
In a village a half-hour drive across pastureland, a third factory -- spanking new, low-slung and painted blue and white -- turns out faucets, door handles and knobs.
All this is a result of the investment of more than $100 million by the American Standard Companies, the conglomerate based in Piscataway, N.J., that makes air-conditioners and auto parts as well as bathroom fixtures.Continue reading the main story
The business here has made Bulgaria -- a country of slightly more than eight million people that is not often mistaken for an economic powerhouse -- a leading supplier of bathroom fixtures to much of Europe and the Middle East, with brands like Ideal Standard and Jade.
Such investments are providing the seeds for improvement around the country, which got a fitful start in its shift to an open market economy and is still well behind most other former Soviet bloc countries, like Poland and Hungary.
But in addition to ranking among the largest foreign investments in Bulgaria, the American Standard presence is one of the few to take development into areas far from the center of government in the capital, Sofia, or the trade and tourism center in Varna, Bulgaria's Black Sea port.
It has certainly been a boon for this struggling region, providing employment as well as galvanizing efforts to transform the local economy. Jobs at the plants are so plentiful that workers have to be bused in by the company from towns as far as 35 miles away, a significant journey for the average Bulgarian.
For American Standard, the factories also represent the company's longest step into the formerly Communist and now rapidly growing Eastern Europe.
''It is definitely among the very successful foreign investments in Bulgaria,'' said Jean-Marc Peterschmitt, an economist based in Bulgaria for the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
Of course, experts say, operating in the Balkans poses many challenges and risks. American Standard must still rely heavily on Western suppliers, for lack of competitive local businesses. And there have been hitches because of the Balkan region's unstable politics.
When war erupted in nearby Kosovo in 1999, disrupting highways through Serbia that American Standard uses to deliver products to Western Europe, alternative routes through Romania and Greece added days to delivery times and increased transportation costs. And the recent fighting in neighboring Macedonia has done little to enhance investment in the region.
Still, the investment has given the company a pool of skilled and inexpensive labor reasonably close to crucial markets in Western Europe and the Middle East, and increasingly elsewhere in Eastern Europe.
The success in Bulgaria is in part attributable to the fact that American Standard bought in gradually, Mr. Peterschmitt said, beginning in 1992 with a joint venture in Sevlievo.
The venture involved American Standard's German unit, Ideal Standard, and the original downtown company -- called Vidima, for a local river -- that had been making bathroom faucets and valves since the 1930's. Nationalized by the Communists after World War II, the shabby Vidima factory was seized after the collapse of Communism in 1989 by a group of young managers, who cast about for investors. They were able to interest American Standard, whose products and managers they knew from trade fairs.
The Vidima plant, which had several dozen workers right after the war, had expanded to about 1,000 employees producing $9 million in revenue by 1992.
Five years later, American Standard had taken full control through several increases in investments, part of the millions it has sunk over the years into refurbishing the old Vidima factory and building the two new ones, the second of which opened in May. The business now provides employment directly for about 3,350 Bulgarians and indirectly for maybe five times that many people, including truck drivers and construction workers. Revenue this year is expected to total $63 million, from a much expanded product line.
''I wanted this job -- it's more in line with what I studied,'' said Ivailo Kanev, 30, who buffs and polishes brass faucet parts.
Mr. Kanev had gone to a local technical school, but then found work only at a textile factory rinsing newly woven fabric. With overtime, he now earns the equivalent of $175 to $220 a month, compared with $65 to $90 at the textile factory and the country's average wage of $100. This, he said, allows him to provide nicer clothes for his wife and their young daughter, and even take an occasional holiday away from Sevlievo.
Such wages may be a windfall for Mr. Kanev, but they are still a bargain to American Standard. Labor costs here are only about one-tenth of those at the company's factories in Western Europe.
American Standard says it is not just the inexpensive labor that makes Bulgaria attractive. ''Geographically it is a good place to be, and the quality of what they make is world class,'' said Frederic M. Poses, the company's chief executive. ''You have people who want to work, who want to be better, who care about their work.''
Roughly one-fourth of American Standard's annual revenue of $7.6 billion, or $1.8 billion, comes from bathroom fixtures, and sales in Europe make up about half that amount. The Bulgarian factories are expected to account for around 7 percent of the company's European sales this year.
The return on investment has been rapid and substantial. The $43 million porcelain factory, which opened in 1997, paid itself off in four years, said Vasil Kanev (no relation to Ivailo Kanev), one of the young post-Communist era managers who was recently named chief executive of Eastern Europe operations.
American Standard's business here is very much in line with the policies of the government that took office in 1997 pledging to move the country toward a Western-style market economy. Those policies are expected to be continued by the cabinet that will be formed when the newly elected Parliament assembles next week.
Foreign direct investment in Bulgaria was roughly $1 billion last year, compared with $800 million a year earlier and $537 million in 1998, according to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. Since the collapse of Communism in 1989, foreign investment per person has reached $407 in Bulgaria, compared with $751 in Poland, Eastern Europe's economic powerhouse, and $303 in neighboring Romania.
Experts like Mr. Peterschmitt of the European Bank agree that projects like the factories here spur local efforts that are helping to transform the overall economy.
And company executives stress their commitment to that process as they also seek to fill American Standard's needs. American Standard helped pay for the extension of gas lines and fiber optic cables to Sevlievo. Two years ago, it opened the city's first hotel, the 40-room Sevlievo Plaza. It is also attracting local talent back to Bulgaria, some of them refugees from the Communist era while others left after the collapse of the Soviet system as the economy stumbled.
Among them is Radoslav Tzankov, 39, who defected to the former West Germany in 1988, a year before the Berlin Wall came down, then made his way to the United States where he worked for a health care company in Provo, Utah. He returned to Bulgaria in 1993, drawn by an offer for a marketing job from American Standard.
''The town has done well on this issue,'' Mr. Tzankov, now head of logistics, said of American Standard's local investments. Two years ago, he added, Sevlievo even got its own customs office, mainly to handle the company's shipments.
Vasil Kanev, the chief of Eastern Europe operations, said American Standard was focusing on a companywide effort to reduce accidents and breakage rates. According to Tom Thornton, the manager of the Bulgarian porcelain plant, the portion of sinks and toilets that must be smashed as rejects has already dropped, to about 10 percent -- one of the best rates among the company's 47 plumbing factories in 25 countries -- from 36.5 percent last year.
The company has also been trying to draw suppliers to Bulgaria, an effort that is intended to cut costs but that will also benefit the local economy. One major supplier, Gruppo Minerali of Italy, which provides some of the 600 tons of raw materials -- clays, sand and the like -- that the porcelain factory consumes every week, is building a processing plant here. Four other important suppliers, from Germany, Spain and Austria, are expected to establish themselves in Bulgaria this year.
American Standard's stock has remained strong, rising nearly 23 percent so far this year. And analysts generally applaud the company's efforts. ''I think they are raising the quality of the total work force, and that has a significant impact on costs as well as quality,'' said Daniel Noll, who follows the company for Balis Lewittes & Coleman in New York.
The company is not, however, impervious to bumps in the global road. When announcing that first-quarter revenue from bathroom products slipped 1 percent, to $455 million, Mr. Poses attributed the results to deteriorating economic conditions in North America and Europe, where 90 percent of its products are sold. And American Standard wants to increase sales in Eastern Europe, a natural market for the Bulgarian factories, but where the company has yet to make significant headway against local manufacturers or inexpensive Italian competitors.
Still, as Eastern Europe restores housing neglected by decades of Communism and builds new homes for its expanding middle class, the potential is huge. And Mr. Poses stresses that American Standard is in the region for the long haul.
''We started with the understanding that there's a small fixture factory there,'' Mr. Poses said. ''We went, liked what we saw, and believed that with a little help we could make it into a world-class factory. From that beginning, we've had a good start.''Continue reading the main story

text: Taken from the album May Blitz, Selftitled 1970 May Blitz were formed in England during the early part of 1969. Tony Newman ex Jeff Beck Group actually formed the band recruiting James Black & Reid Hudson. Black and Hudson were Canadians from Victoria, British Columbia who pioneered Canadian West Coast music prior to moving to England. The band played extensively on the UK college circuit in 1969 before signing to Vertigo. Their debut album 'May Blitz' in 1970 was heavy and featured a grotesque cartoon cover. The first album sold moderately and a follow up 'The 2nd Of May' was recorded in 1971. Unfortunately despite being an excellent album full of heavy original numbers the album flopped. The band were dropped by Vertigo shortly after.

Laptop, network enhancements expected
By Tom Lappas, Citizen Editor 11/05/12
Henrico County's groundbreaking one-to-one laptop initiative for high-school students will conclude its third four-year contract June 30, and school officials are seeking enhancements that will make the next contract more efficient and effective.
The school system issued a request for proposal (RFP) last month to solicit interested bidders for the next contract, which will replace the current deal with Dell Computers for the provision of laptops and support for high school students, faculty and staff.
The RFP asks bidders to bundle the leasing of equipment with service needs, training for technical staff members, loaners and all other components necessary for the program, HCPS Technology Director Peter Taylor said, so that the overall cost to the school system may be more inclusive than in previous contracts.
The new machines will have solid-state hard drives, which are more durable and less likely to need repair than the mechanical drives that are used in the system's leased laptops currently, Taylor said. The new contract also will include a program on each laptop that automatically backs up critical student data to a server in their schools, he said. That way, students will have easy access to their materials at all times – even if they need loaner machines.
Officials will review bids with the School Board early next year, and the board likely will award a contract by the end of February.
In a separate RFP, to be issued by the end of December, school officials will seek bids to update the school system's network infrastructure. The current network, implemented in 2001 when Henrico began its laptop initiative with Apple, is on the verge of becoming obsolete, Taylor said. The chief problem: lack of adequate bandwidth, which particularly at the high school level is threatening to slow the flow of information from the internet and individual school servers to student and faculty computers.
Recommended state bandwidth standards for school systems exceed what Henrico's is capable of handling through its current network system, Taylor said. With so much demand for online content and so many users, high schools in the county likely will reach their bandwidth limitations within a year.
Upgrading the network to a 10 gigabits per second (gpbs) internal capability for all schools will provide more than enough bandwith, while preparing the school system for future needs, Taylor said. (Current bandwith varies from 10 megabits per second at elementary schools to 100 mbps at middle and high schools and 1 gpbs for internet usage.)
It also will provide enhanced levels of security for faculty and staff members, who will be able to submit grades, for example, through a completely secure wireless system.
Officials will recommend to the School Board a vendor and contract for the network enhancements sometime in the first quarter of 2013, with the intention of updating the network during the summer.
Some money for the project – which could cost $1.5 million or more in total, according to Superintendent Pat Russo – is included in the current budget. But the majority of it will need to be added, Russo said.
Fresh Air Fund seeks host families
Citizen Staff Reports 04/27/2017 Features
The Fresh Air Fund, a program through which nearly 4,000 children from low-income New York City communities spend a summer with host families in communities along the East Coast and in southern Canada, is seeking hosts for the coming summer.
According to the organization, there is no such thing as a "typical" host family. First-time Fresh Air children are boys and girls, from seven to 12 years old. Children who are reinvited by host families may continue with The Fresh Air Fund through age 18 and can enjoy extended trips. > Read more.

Who Needs Four Air Forces?
Published: November 30, 1992
The fate of America's economic recovery may well turn on arguments going on right now in the Tank. That's the eavesdrop-proof chamber in the Pentagon where the Joint Chiefs of Staff meet to thrash out their differences. Now they're confronting the toughest questions -- not foreign enemies but their own services' roles and missions. In other words, turf.
Throughout the cold war America has had two light infantries, one in the Army and the other in the Marines. It has had four combat air arms, in the Air Force, Navy, Marines and Army. And it has had three -- in some cases, four -- service academies, chaplains' corps, medical corps, legal corps.
President-elect Clinton will need every penny of savings he can find if he's to rebuild America's infrastructure and educate the work force for the next century. By finally eliminating some of this extravagant duplication of effort, the Chiefs can now provide for a common-sense common defense.
The Air Force offers a prototypical example. Its raciest mission is strategic bombing. That's why it wants the fastest, most maneuverable planes it can buy. At the same time it resists the undramatic duty of providing cover for ground forces. It couldn't wait to get rid of the slow-flying A-10 Warthogs, which performed close air support so ably in the Persian Gulf war.
The services disdain having to play a supporting role, and each service wants the capabilities it needs to carry out its preferred missions without having to rely on the others. The Army and the Marines want to buy their own helicopter gunships and planes with the firepower to cover their troops on the battlefield.
The services also have their own flying schools, maintenance facilities and supply lines. Most expensive of all, each wants new planes and helicopters -- $400 billion worth in all, an amount that would bust even the present overblown budget.
But Congress, unwilling to pre-empt any of the President-elect's decisions, has so far maintained funding for them all.
That's as crazy as it sounds. Vast changes in technology and greatly diminished threats have made the existing division of responsibilities outmoded. There is no good reason the Air Force can't provide close air support for infantry. There is no good reason for both the Army and the Marines to develop a new helicopter.
By the same token, the Marines and the Army, together, have eight light infantry divisions -- two more than America needs. At the same time, they have 40 tank battalions. Why can't the Army provide the Marines with armor?
To help pay for needed infrastructure and a better educated work force, Mr. Clinton has said he's prepared to cut the $280 billion-a-year defense budgets by $60 billion over five years. He could cut around $60 billion in one year if he could get the Joint Chiefs to be joint and chiefs -- and rationalize their roles and missions.

Local Police / Fire / Rescue Donations
I constantly get calls on my business phone line for various police, fire & rescue organizations soliciting donations. I made a small donation some years ago to what I thought was a my local police department but I'm really not so sure. Now all these organizations seem to have my information. I don't have any problem with a small donation, but I want it to be locally. Some of these calls may be legit, but I haven't donated in a while because some seem sketchy. Do others just blow off these solicitations and donate directly, if so, to whom?
Who makes tree box frames?
I think it's about time I get a frame for my treebox. I can't seem to maintain any plants in there without it. People tend to walk all them. I have not been able to find a source for these. Any recommendations on a fabricator and thoughts on how much they cost w/installation? Thanks!

****This was our second visit to Calla Lily with our grown up son and daughter and their partners. We so enjoyed our last stay that we booked again without hesitation. Staying at the villa with it's beautiful views, relaxing by the pool looking over the lake was a true pleasure. Even though we had been to the Disney parks before there was still plenty to do and we even ran out of time to do everything on our wish list this time! We should have booked 3 weeks! We find the villa ideally located,it doesn't take long to get to the main atttactions. Supermarkets and restaurants are only 10 minutes away. It is a real bonus having 3 bathrooms and a laundry room which makes staying with a family so much easier. The villa is both beautiful and comfortable. Booking with the owner is both a pleasure and an uncomplicated procedure. We hope to use the villa again in the near future and have recommended it to friends and family.
Graham Winnicott, England****
**** We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Calla Lilly Villa. The facilities could not have been better - the whole place is light, airy and feels luxurious. All of the furnishings, bedding, towels etc are of a high quality and co-ordinate beautifully. The area around the villa is quiet and peaceful, whilst all of the Florida attractions are only a short drive away. All in all, we would definitely stay at the villa again if we ever return for another holiday and would certainly recommend it to others.

See also Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Born on 9 May 1904 in Grantchester, England, and Died on 4 July 1980
Gregory Bateson was a British anthropologist, social scientist, linguist, and cyberneticist whose work intersected that of many other fields. He got a BA in biology at the St. John's College of the Cambridge University in 1925 and continued at Cambridge from 1927 to 1929. Bateson lectured in linguistics at the University of Sydney 1928. Form 1931 to 1937 he was a fellow at Cambridge and then went to the United States.
One of the threads that connects Bateson's work is an interest in systems theory and cybernetics, a science he helped to create.
"Cybernetics, holistic medicine and ecology offer demonstratively superior ways of understanding the world than logic." ... "Our survival depends on two processes, the development of individuals and the development of the environment." ... "We fight battles over phony issues again and again - There is really something deeply wrong." ... "Greed, excessive growth, war, tyranny and pollution daily demonstrate that our premises are false."
All our learning is a combination of self knowledge and knowledge about the things that exist in the world, that can only enter our minds as communication objects, and by recall of their names and characteristics. We can have many faulty ideas about ourselves and about the world and still interact in ways that seem to be successful. "The genesis of new notions is almost totally dependent upon reshuffling and recombining ideas that we already have."
Dr Peter M SengeIn the last 12 months there's been a wave of change buiilding. It's a wake up call. We've been living in unhealthy ways, and the environment keeps sending us stronger and stronger signals. Climate charge is a now a signal that we cannot ignore. The message is about how we live in the world. It will alter all of our primary institutions, business, education, medicine, and public leadership. The wave is hitting the shores of all of those institutions, business being the first to respond.
|Peter Senge discussing discovering the patterns that connect, a Gregory Bateson theme.
Bateson said, "The new is always difficult to achieve." We should try to understand the situation the best we can. That creates the "readiness" to see how new and random things keep occurring. The new occurs because something random is combined with what was. If the change is to persist there must be some machinery to select the new. The possibility for change happens when one can "see the pattern that connects".
In our minds we can create a vision of cause and effect, a linear sequence of events. In our minds we imagine the ability to reverse that chain of events, but this is a thinking fallacy. Causality does not move backward. You can never undo the things you've chosen to do.

Adil has been in jail over a year and a half. Authorities want to deport Adil to Morocco, but his supporters said he faces torture there.
The use of National Security Certificates is being harshly criticized by various groups. These include the Canadian Bar Association, the Canadian Criminal Lawyers' Association, the International Committee of Jurists and Amnesty International. They have all said the certificates violate fundamental rights and fair trial guarantees.
Under one of these Certificates, neither the accused nor their lawyer can see the evidence against them. National Security Certificates are signed by 2 cabinet ministers. Adil and the 4 other Muslim men being held on Certficates are being held without trial or charges.
A recent letter to demand changes to the law was endorsed by about 60 law schools and lawyers' associations. It was recently sent to the Minister of Public Safety Anne McLellan. [See Below]
The letter expressed concerns that the secret evidence used in Security Certificate cases is often too flimsy to stand up to examination in a real court of law. The defense can't hear it or cross-examine witnesses, meaning judges often have little choice but to accept it.

This is the most debated topic in management research today, and yet there has not been any clarity in arriving at a conceptual distinction between these two styles at increasing number of organizations. Often organizations struggle to understand whether a given problem is to be handled by a Manager or a Leader, further so, there are situations wherein while establishing jobs to handle a group or team of people the recruiting authority is unsure about the nature of control to be exerted i.e. whether the recruited person should have management skills alone or leadership skills alone or is it a combination of both.

Question: I have read a lot about the 'right and left brain' and most recently that this is myth- what is your view?
Keywords: natural ability
answered on 20 May 2015:
Hi Kate,
It is true that some brain functions occur in one or the other side of the brain, like language on the left side but there is no study that I know of that has shown a strong left or right-sided brain network. A couple of years ago a big study came out from the University of Utah where they scanned the brains of 1000 people while they did various activities, they then measured their functional lateralization (measures specific mental processes on each side of the brain). The team found patterns for left and right sidedness in certain connections but nothing to support that people are intrinsically left or right sided in their thinking. It is true that in extreme circumstances like cutting the corpus callosum (which can sometimes be done to treat sever epilepsy) and after a brain injury to one side (maybe injuring Broca's area) there will be different side effects that result in people acting differently but to my knowledge no one is born right or left-brained and it has not been shown in any of the literature that I am aware of.
answered on 20 May 2015:
If your question refers to the fact that there are some people who rely more on the right brain and others on their left brain and that this leads to differences in behaviour, personality, etc. I am not aware of any evidence to support this.
There are however, as Dana says, differences between the hemispheres that can be apparent when some part of the brain is damaged. For example, in right-handed individuals, processing for certain aspects of language tends to be mainly done in the left hemisphere, while in left-handed individuals, it tends to be the reverse. But this doesn't lead to any apparent differences in behaviour.
answered on 22 May 2015:
Lots of useful points have already been made.
Personally, I am no specialist in the story of left-right distinctions, but think the neuromyths view (http://tinyurl.com/ow78ujm) – whilst stated rather strongly – is probably an accurate view of the neuroscientific consensus.
Of course, consensus is less important that evidence and argument. A leading supporter of the view that left-right are important is Ian McGilchrist, who wrote The Master and his Emissary. You can get get to the centre of his view, and the response of many other interesting people, here: http://tinyurl.com/3d7pwxu
Somewhat tangentially, I have never been a big fan of male-female differences either. Whilst I accept that there could be some areas in which there are important differences, I think it would be more generally interesting to understand humans as a group first!
commented on 21 May 2015:
Hi Kate
There is a body of work to suggest that there is brain lateralisation for emotional processing. There is a convincing review here. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15886400.
Unfortunately there does not seem to be open access to the whole paper. However, from the abstract you will glean that the lateralisation is complex, there is not a claim that either the right or a left hemisphere does emotion. There is also some interesting neuroscience investigations that show an EEG asymmetry between the right and left hemisphere that depends on the valence ( positive or negative) of the emotional experience. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301051109001823
Again the lateralisation effect is complex and has involved some research trying to tease out dispositional and state factors.
Obviously a stable evidence outcome from this work is important since emotion and cognition are so entangled!

GP Week : Issue 213
Bridgestone will continue development of its asymmetric tyre for the final round of the 2014 MotoGP World Championship in Valencia. In spite of several riders falling when their front tyres suddenly lost grip in the cool conditions at Phillip Island, Bridgestone has said that it is satisfied with the performance of its first-ever asymmetric front, made up of two compounds. "The cool and breezy conditions definitely increased the challenge of racing at Phillip Island which has the highest average speed on the MotoGP calendar," said Bridgestone's Shinji Aoki. "Tyre performance throughout the 27 laps of the race was very consistent, but unfortunately in the final stages there were a few incidents. The double cooling effect of low ambient temperatures and cool winds have often created challenging conditions in the past at Phillip Island, and it was another example of how quickly things can change at the Australian Grand Prix." Bridgestone introduced the tyre after testing at the track pre-season, after a farcical 2013 event that saw riders pit and change bikes mid-race because of concerns about their tyres' durability. "Our target for our rear tyre allocation for this year's Australian Grand Prix was to provide tyres that could provide full race distance durability with consistent performance," Aoki said. "This target wasn't easy to achieve given how harsh the Phillip Island track proved to be on rear tyres last year, but through a vigorous testing and development programme we could engineer a completely new generation of rear tyres for this year's race to achieve this goal. It was important that these new tyres would last the whole race, yet provide predictable grip throughout their life and I believe we met this target." MOTOGP >>> nEWs at BriEFly » Dani Pedrosa will have a new crew chief next year. Mike Leitner, who has tended to the Spaniard's bikes since 2004, will step down from the role at the end of the season. » A bunch of milestones have been set in the last two MotoGP rounds. Valentino Rossi's Phillip Island win came in his 250th start in the premier category. Dani Pedrosa made his 150th MotoGP start at Sepang, where Nicky Hayden also became the record-holder for starts made by Americans in the premier class. The Kentuckian made his 197th GP appearance, one more than Colin Edwards. » Yonny Hernandez will remain with the Pramac Ducati squad for 2015 season. The Colombian will race a Factory Option Desmosedici GP14.2 alongside Danilo Petrucci. » The latest MotoGP entry list for 2015 has two TBAs to be filled. One is at the Ioda team and the other is the Gresini Aprilia seat alongside Alvaro Bautista. » The Gardner name returned to the list of pointscorers at Sepang. Remy Gardner did well enough at PI to warrant a call-up from the Calvo Moto3 team for Malaysia. The 16-year-old started 29th on the grid and finished a fine 15th. The point he scored is the first for the family since dad Wayne Gardner scored his final points in the 500cc class in South Africa in 1992. Moto2 is in danger of becoming a one-make class, if the provisional entry list for the 2015 championship proves to be accurate. The list, issued last week by the FIM, lists 31 entries and many of those have moved to the Kalex frame. The majority of the teams using suter frames in 2014 have indicated that they will change, in spite of suter having scored two wins, three seconds and sixth thirds during 2014. While Kalex riders Tito Rabat, Mika Kallio and Maverick Vinales currently hold the top three positions in the Moto2 points, Tom Luhti, Dominique Aegerter and Johann Zarco are 4-5-6 on suters. At present, the only suter entered for 2015 is for German rookie Florian Alt at the IODA Racing team. There are three Tech 3 entries for Marcel schrotter, Ricky Kardus and Louis Rossi, and three speed ups for sam Lowes, Julian simon and Anthony West.

Are we in fact be taken for a ride?
If you are reading this then, like me, you too are a fan of Marvel Vs Capcom series and are hungry for more. But are we about to get more? There have been leaks of supposed IP addresses for Marvel vs Capcom 4 but nothing too concrete. However more fire was added to this rumor last night when mysterious pictures were released and spread throughout Instragram last night.
The images show Marvel and Capcom done in the fighting games art style with the quote of "Celebrating 20 years." It is nearly the twentieth anniversary of the series. Perhaps the most telling picture is the one of a metallic 4 with the year of 2017 underneath, possibly hinting at a 2017 release date. Fallout 4 came out in a few months after it was announced so why not this game too? However, in me eyes at least, the 4 logo seems too much like Fant4stic and not enough like the MvC series. Or maybe its the new direction of the series.
Call me an optimist, but perhaps this is Capcom "leaking" these images to garner hype for the unannounced game. Crazier things have been done to promote games.
ComicBookCast will have more info as the story develops and hopefully we will know "When Mahvel."
Thanks for reading fighting fans and have a Marveous Day!
