- What are the requirements to get in?
Criteria for admission vary according to the particular program. An Admissions Representative will answer all of your questions and tell you exactly what you need to do to apply to the program of your choice. Once you've made a decision, the first step toward applying to any program is to fill out an application form. To request an application:
Telephone: From the Los Angeles area or from outside the U.S.: 323-462-1384 From other U.S. phones: 1-800-255-7529 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Write: Admissions Department
Musicians Institute

Hollywood, CA 90028
- What classes should I take in High School to prepare?
While you are not required to take specific High School courses to be admitted to MI, we strongly recommend that you take advantage of any music-related studies available to you. Relevant classes would include Music Appreciation, Music Theory, Ear Training, Music Reading, Music Industry Studies, Ensemble, Choir, Band, Chorus, Computer Skills and Keyboard Skills.
Outside of school, private lessons (for performance students) are also very important. An additional source of preparatory information is available through MI Press, Hal Leonard Publishing, the official publications of Musicians Institute. Over 100 publications, books, CDs and DVDs are available on a variety of subjects related to MI programs that can also be used in conjunction with private lessons.
- Do I need a formal education in music to get in?
Admission requirements vary by degree level and subject area.
Bachelor Degree students are required to submit a letter of recommendation from a music teacher (private teachers are acceptable), but you are not required to show that you have taken specific courses or attended a certain type of school. You will be evaluated according to the criteria most relevant to the program to which you are applying and based on the level of skill and knowledge you demonstrate in your application. Acceptable skill levels can be acquired through any combination of training including self-study, private study, live performing experience, online study, workshops, classes, or formal training.
- How much experience do I need on my instrument?
There are many factors that enter into determining your qualifications to enter a specific MI program. Skill, knowledge, and experience all play an important role, but so do focus and dedication.
We consider not only whether you are prepared to begin a program, but also whether you're prepared to finish it.
Most programs begin by teaching fundamentals but also move very quickly into more advanced areas. A less-experienced musician with a high degree of discipline can complete a program with great success, whereas a musician with more experience who is not prepared to put in the necessary effort may wind up struggling.
It's not so much a matter of how long you've been a musician, but more about how dedicated you are to moving forward with your musical development
Before you apply, an Admissions Representative can give you an idea of whether your level of experience appears to be high enough for you to apply. After you submit your application, senior instructors will carefully review it and determine your ability, skill level, and overall qualifications for acceptance into the program. In some cases, they may recommend that you re-apply after further study, or that you consider entering a different program or at a different degree level. If you are accepted, when you arrive to register for classes you will be evaluated again and placed into course levels appropriate to your current level of skill, knowledge and experience.
- Do you offer job placement?
MI's Artist & Career Services Department (ACS) is dedicated to helping students stay informed of the many professional opportunities available in the music industry, helping prepare them to take advantage of these opportunities and making the transition from student to working professional as smooth as possible. While MI does not guarantee that enrolling in or completing any program will lead to employment, or that any student will obtain any specific job during or after enrollment, ACS does offer a variety of career-oriented services to students and alumni including:
MI Connects: MI's exclusive online resource for connecting talent with opportunity. MI Connects receives frequent calls from bandleaders, managers, potential music students, producers, booking agents, A&R representatives and studio managers who require the services of trained musicians and engineers and provides contacts to members.
Career Counseling: one-on-one sessions with experienced professionals who can provide specific advice on how to prepare for professional and creative opportunities in the music industry.
Auditions: MI's exclusive weekly Hiring Hall audition showcase brings top signed artists seeking talent into the school on a weekly basis. Audition opportunities are open to all students and are advertised to the student body and alumni through the MI Connects. Past auditions have included Selena Gomez, Macy Gray, Avril Lavigne, Smashing Pumpkins, The Offspring, Gwen Stefani, Korn, NIN, Rob Thomas, Hilary Duff, Maroon 5, Lifehouse, Hoobastank, Missy Elliot, Billy Howerdel, Finch, Rockstar Supernova, Derek Sherinian, Liz Phair, Matt Sorum (MI does not guarantee specific future auditions). Weekly audition workshops train you in specific techniques for audition preparation, how to handle yourself during the audition, and how to present the best possible image to potential employers.
Internships: MI's Internship Coordinator places qualified students with music-industry companies so they can gain inside experience during enrollment; internships are also a proven method for developing contacts leading to employment.
- What's your placement percentage?
The California Bureau of Private Post-Secondary Education has recently revised its policies about how placement statistics are reported. Updated information regarding the number of students who have been placed as well as the starting salary you can earn after finishing a specific educational program is available. Please see this document for current information - School Performance Fact Sheet
- What famous people went to your school?
MI's mission is to provide students with the tools to achieve their highest creative and professional potential. The real measure of success is what former students accomplish in the years after MI. We are proud to be part of their development, but their success, whether in or out of the public eye, is the result of individual dedication and tenacity. To mention only a few, former MI students who have gone on to public recognition as recording artists include Keb' Mo', Jeff Buckley, Norman Brown, and Brooke White; instrument virtuosos include Paul Gilbert, Scott Henderson, Jennifer Batten and Frank Gambale, and members of internationally-known bands include John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Rivers Cuomo, Brian Bell and Scott Shriner (Weezer), and Dave Kushner (Velvet Revolver).
Other grads are found on stage or in the studio with artists ranging from Nine Inch Nails, Paul Stanley, Chris Cornell, Paul Stanley, Stone Temple Pilots, Steve Vai, David Lee Roth, and Korn to Mariah Carey, Pink, Christina Aguilera, Jordin Sparks, Rihanna, Melissa Etheridge, and the late Michael Jackson.
Check out "Success Stories" on MI's website to see examples of hundreds of grads who are working in every part of the music industry.
- How much does MI cost?
Tuition varies by program type and length. Contact your Admissions Representative, see the current Course Catalog or the "Tuition" link in the Admissions & Aid dropdown menu for complete description of tuition and fees, as well as estimated budget costs.
- Do you offer financial aid?
Musicians Institute is authorized to provide aid for U.S. Citizens and permanent residents under various federal and state financial aid programs. Each type of aid has specific eligibility requirements and the amount you qualify to receive will vary according to your individual circumstances and the program to which you are applying. If you qualify, you may be eligible for one or more types of aid. However, it is important for you to know that financial aid usually does not cover all of your tuition costs.
- How do I apply for financial aid?
The first step in applying for financial aid is to complete your FAFSA application and enter the MI school code (015238). By filling in your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online, you ensure its accuracy and the information goes directly to the federal processor, which means you receive your Student Aid Report sooner. It's fast, convenient, and user-friendly. If you require a paper application, you may call 1.800.4FEDAID and one will be mailed to you. Upon request from the Financial Aid Office, you may need to provide additional documents such as student and or parent tax returns, verification of untaxed income, or other documents required to determine eligibility. The Financial Aid Office will mail your award notification approximately 3-6 weeks after receipt of your Student Aid Report (depending on the time of year) only if you have already been accepted for admission to MI.
- Do you have scholarships? How do I apply?
Musicians Institute offers a variety of scholarships designed to provide tuition assistance to students during their enrollment at MI. Information is available on the web site and in our Scholarship Guide for a list of current scholarships, how to apply, and the deadline for submission. Refer to each scholarship application for specific details; for all additional questions about scholarships, please contact the Admissions Department.
- How do I receive a tour of the campus?
Tours are conducted between 9am and 6pm each weekday by appointment with your Admissions Representative. Another great opportunity to tour the campus is to attend a Hands-On Open House. These events are scheduled throughout the year; contact the Admissions department for details, dates and to make a reservation.
- Are my credits transferable to other schools?
Every college sets its own requirements for accepting credits from other institutions. These requirements vary widely based on program content, institutional accreditation, and other factors and are determined case-by-case by the receiving institution. MI cannot guarantee in advance that any specific institution will accept your credits, but should you need to transfer, we are prepared to help you through the process.
- Are my credits from another college transferable to your school?
As with transferring to other institutions, the question of which or how many of your prior credits are transferable to a specific program at MI must be handled on a case-by-case basis (see the current Course Catalog for more information on transfer of credits into MI's Bachelor of Music program). However, if you have successfully studied at another institution of higher education and seek to enter a similar program at MI, you may qualify for advanced placement in certain areas; this will be determined based on your placement interview at the time of registration.
- Where are you located?
Hollywood is known as the entertainment capital of the world, and MI's main entrance is right in the center, on legendary Hollywood Boulevard just blocks from locations such as the Dolby (Academy Award) Theater, Grauman's Chinese Theater, and with clubs, recording studios and entertainment industry headquarters in every direction. For more information on Hollywood, Student Housing, transportation, and living in LA, contact an MI Admissions Counselor.
See the Google map for address and directions.
- Do you have Housing or Dorms?
MI does not own housing, but the surrounding neighborhood contains many apartments and other housing options. Thousands of MI students have moved to Hollywood from all over the world and found safe, clean, convenient housing. MI's on-campus housing coordinator will provide you with information based on neighborhood, affordability, and features. You can also reduce costs by getting referrals for roommates who are also attending MI. A Housing Guide will be sent to you automatically upon acceptance, the Housing Coordinator will provide information before you arrive in LA, and during registration week you can meet potential roommates at special housing meetings.
- Is Hollywood safe?
Hollywood has received quite a makeover in recent years, sparked by new businesses and attractions such as the Academy Awards Theater. During the day, streets are crowded with tourists from all over the world, and at night a thriving club culture fills venues on the Boulevard and side streets. The local business improvement district provides private security patrols in addition to the normal police presence. Aside from MI, thousands of students live and study at schools throughout the Hollywood area. MI provides a door-to-door free shuttle bus service at night for students living within two miles. However, Hollywood and Los Angeles are large urban areas and common-sense precautions are important. Don't walk alone at night on deserted streets, especially carrying expensive equipment, and stick to well-lighted, well-traveled areas whenever possible. Tens of thousands of young men and women from all over the world have lived and studied in Hollywood over the past three decades and consider it to have been the best time of their lives – we think you will, too.
Musicians Institute has a secure campus. MI operates on a closed campus, meaning only current students, employees and those with official business with Musicians Institute are allowed on campus or in any Musicians Institute facilities or buildings. Visitors must check in with Security upon entering the MI campus or any MI buildings or facilities. In fact, students must scan in their MI ID card immediately upon entering or exiting MI facilities or buildings.

- What kind of clothes should I bring?
LA has a moderate climate, but it can get surprisingly chilly in the winter and the temperature can drop quickly at night. In the winter (Dec-April), a medium jacket, long pants (and occasionally, an umbrella) will be enough. Summer can be quite hot, but shorts and t-shirts are acceptable attire for almost any occasion.
- How close are shopping centers?
There are numerous grocery stores within a one-mile radius of MI and larger stores such as Kmart and Target are a short bus ride away.
- How do I get from the airport to Hollywood?
Various shuttle companies offer one-way service to Hollywood for around $25. If you are staying at local hostels they may reimburse you for your shuttle fee.
- Should I bring a car to LA?
Unless you already have a car and plan on driving it to California as your means of getting here, it's not vital to have a car while you are at school. Contrary to popular myth, you can survive in LA without a car. You can go almost anywhere you want to go either by bus, taxi or the rapid transit rail system. Having a car can be nice, but insurance rates in LA are high and parking can be very expensive.
- Are there training materials, such as books and videos, that you recommend I use on my own?
There are many resources available to support personal efforts in skill development. One source of preparatory information is available through MI Press (Hal Leonard Publishing), the official publications of Musicians Institute. Over 100 books, CDs and DVDs are available on a variety of subjects related to MI programs that can also be used in conjunction with private lessons.

CD/LP/Track Review
Dick Hyman: In Concert at the Old Mill Inn (2009)
During his lengthy professional career, pianist Dick Hyman has been a first-call studio player for many kinds of music, in addition to being able to play any style in the history of jazz. As well as being a sideman with Benny Goodman, Hyman worked in a duo with the late cornetist Ruby Braff, played pipe, Hammond and theater organs, along with taking part leading various size jazz ensembles and creating soundtracks for several Woody Allen films. But Hyman's greatest strength is in a solo piano setting, where his imagination and considerable chops are best displayed.
This 2007 solo performance at the Old Mill Inn in Toronto is a typical outing, a mix of standards, time-tested jazz compositions, originals and even modern pop. No matter how many times standards have been recorded, Hyman manages to find fresh paths, with intricate improvisations that never get carried away, such as in the rhapsodic treatment of "I Can't Get Started." In "Stompin' at the Savoy" the pianist incorporates a hip bass line reminiscent of the one he used in his interpretation of Fats Waller's "Bond Street" while his lightly swinging setting of "All the Things You Are" has its share of Art Tatum-like runs.
The pianist includes two original miniatures, both previously recorded in the studio for Dick Hyman's Century of Jazz Piano (recently reissued by Arbors). The relaxing "Ocean Languor" is a reflective ballad with flashes of Bix Beiderbecke's works for piano, while "Pass It Along" is imbued with the stamp of Swing Era great Teddy Wilson, with whom Hyman studied in his youth after winning lessons in a contest. Perhaps the most surprising track is Hyman's arrangement of the Beatles' "Blackbird," which he transforms from a quiet ballad into a breezy swing vehicle.
Track Listing: Ain't Misbehavin'; I Can't Get Started; Stompin' at the Savoy; Have a Heart; Honeysuckle Rose; All the Things You Are; Undecided; Blackbird; Christopher Columbus; Ocean Languor; Pass It Along; The Man I Love.
Record Label: Sackville
Style: Dixieland/New Orleans/Swing

In a world where everyone's now a DJ and anyone that wants to can throw an event, the people fighting the good fight and offering unique experiences sometimes have to kick up their game a bit in order to rise above the noise. Enter this promo video from the crew behind New York's Les Nuits De Montreal and The Rude Cruise of year's past. Channeling Don Johnson's star power at the height of his career as Crockett on Miami Vice, the video is a slick cautionary tale that also showcases best in class examples of the attire that's suitable for this themed ride of house music and ill manners.
Their novel use of vintage star power is to be commended. We also respectfully insist you make it past 2:25 in this video or you'll miss the whole point.

Welcome to New York...The nanny state that understands you are too stupid to take care of yourself.
Watch out, moviegoers -- Nanny York City is taking aim at yet another of life's gluttonous pleasures.
On the heels of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's call for a ban on jumbo-sized sodas and other sugary drinks, city officials are now considering restrictions on treats ranging from popcorn to milkshakes.
At a meeting Tuesday, members of the New York City Board of Health expressed support for Bloomberg's proposal. They then started brainstorming other ways to cut the fat, according to MyFoxNY.com.
Member Bruce Vladeck proposed limiting movie-theater popcorn containers.
"The popcorn isn't a whole lot better than the soda," he said.
Another member suggested limits for milkshakes and "milk-coffee beverages."
The board, whose members were appointed by Bloomberg, will vote on the mayor's drink proposal -- but agreed to a six-week, public-comment period before taking a vote, according to MyFoxNY.com.

Redesign Before Concrete Tees?

Re: Redesign Before Concrete Tees?
I am very much in favor of NOT doing a serious redesign on the Moffitt course for the following reasons:
We have had several more difficult courses come into existence lately, namely Texas Army Trails and the new T C Jester configuration that cater to disc golfers desiring more difficult venues. A couple of minor alterations to Moffitt would be okay with me, such as moving the #4 regular (short) tee back into the wooded area behind the current tee box or next to that area, but no serious changes should be considered.
Due to the mentioned historical significance of the course, I am not in favor of serious alterations.
Many of us have a longstanding relationship with some courses. We have these holes that we know we can ace if we can just get that drive high enough and long enough to hyzer through the gap into the basket, etc. Showing up at a course and finding your years of struggle to obtain that goal now dashed because the shot is no longer even possible can really be depressing.
It needs to be kept in mind that new disc golfers are often overwhelmed by the more difficult courses, and can quickly become discouraged by repeatedly getting hard wood on their throws, so we need to keep some courses of moderate difficulty for the newer players. Not many new players and even not-so-new players can throw 350+ and nail a 10-foot gap from 75 feet.
Casual players (i.e., those playing only a couple of times a month) need such moderately difficult courses.
In some parts of the park, so many trees are missing, there's little use in a redesign. Throwing north-south over a wide open area is not much better than throwing east-west over the same area.
As mentioned by others, Moffitt Park is not large enough to develop a competitive course for advanced players. To attempt that would probably result in a course similar to MacGregor where the fairways are so close that when driving on some holes you run the real risk of hitting people putting or driving on neighboring holes.
I am playing about half of my rounds at T C Jester now, and have also enjoyed playing at the tough Texas Army Trails course, but lets keep a well rounded variety of courses in the Houston area so as to appeal to disc golfers of all ages and abilities. We should plant new trees to replace those that have passed on, but that should also be kept within reason.
I'm a Moffitt rat!

Popular website forecasts trend in forklift industry that promotes effective land use, greater productivity, efficient space utilization and eventual widespread automation.
Moorestown, New Jersey (PRWEB) December 12, 2012
Forklift technology has come a long way over the past 100 years, but according to Forkliftarticles.com, a New Jersey-based industry observer and promoter, Jungheinrich Lift Trucks, with headquarters in Hamburg, Germany and U.S. operations based in Houston, Texas, has jumped to the head of the pack because of its holistic approach to materials handling. According to the article, "holistic" best describes Jungheinrich's role in the industry because the company combines the custom design and manufacture of material handling equipment (primarily forklifts) with the design and construction of the warehouses in which it will be used. The end result of this holistic approach is the ability to automate the process much more extensively than ever-dreamed possible.
Jungheinrich has carved out a niche for itself in the logistics field by working with companies from the ground up, first in the design of their buildings, integrating the manufacturing element with the warehousing and shipping facilities for the finished products and then custom designing the appropriate materials handling equipment that will operate within that manufacturing facility.
Jungheinrich has been acclaimed as Number One in forklift and system technology in Europe. It is also the third largest supplier of forklift trucks in the world. The company, one of the younger participants in the highly competitive Fork Lift industry, began in Hamburg, Germany during the post-war reconstruction period. Space constraints in warehouses guided their design engineers to respond with appropriate high stacking and narrow aisle lift machine models, which significantly improved the utilization of warehouse space and height. This sensitivity to quality and ergonomics in product design has catapulted Jungheinrich to it leadership role in the world of forklifts.
Whether a buyer is interested in purchasing a new forklift or is in the market for a used forklift for sale, independent of the Jungheinrich company's leadership role in the integration of manufacturing facilities with materials handling equipment, all Jungheinrich forklifts reflect the quality and standards expected of German engineering as well as the innovation on which the company has built its reputation.
Jungheinrich is the company to watch as the industry moves rapidly towards expanded automation. The holistic approach towards facilities and equipment design ensures Jungheinrich's leadership role in future industry trends. Company literature repeatedly articulates Jungheinrich's commitment to being an active player in the future development of the industry and to blazing new trails on behalf of their customers.
This is but one of many articles found at Forkliftarticles.com highlighting trends in the material handling industry.

The Shakespeare, London
FancyaPint?'s review...
Sitting, pint of Palm in hand, we recently found ourselves cancelling a table at a restaurant in favour of investing a few more hours in this pub. It's like that in here. You don't want to leave. Huge paintings and sculptures sit well with an otherwise unfussy decor. There're plenty of places to sit around the magnificent island bar that is stocked with a great range of lager and ales. The wine list is pretty good too, with the house red treating us very nicely. They have their own cricket team and on our last visit there were various footy teams in for their post-game pint, providing a good atmosphere in comparison to other visits when the pub can feel a little bit too 'Stokey' for those that don't take kindly to that sort of thing (the person next to us was alone reading Proust...). And what of dinner? They don't sell food but they happen to be located next to an excellent pizza place that serve light, crispy pizzas with excellent toppings (try the pepperoni). Order from there and bring it in to the pub. To cap it all the juke box brimming with great LPs including Waits, Young and Drake. Recommended.

Best London pub - full stop... love this place. Stunning jukebox, great beer, pickled eggs and pizza from next door. Dark wooden floors and furniture, crackling fire, deep velvet curtains and a giant flying statue on one wall... it's what winter nights were made for.

Everything happens for a reason… the year is 1994 and the stage is set for the United States to host their first ever FIFA World Cup. FIFA surprised many with their decision to have the U.S. hold the tournament due to the global perception that the United States lacked soccer fans. FIFA hoped by staging the world's premier event in the U.S., it would lead to America's growth in the sport… time will tell.
United States national team member, Frank Klopas was in southern California for the 1994 World Cup. Bernie Towers was promoting soccer and managing some boys' teams in Orange County. Terry Mazura was in search of a more competitive soccer alternative for his daughters. David Northridge is with Orange Coast United managing a few youth teams. Walid and Ziad Khoury were training local athletes in soccer and athletic conditioning. One by one each joined and within a few short years they converged… and the Slammers FC was born.
Growing up during Lebanon's civil war the brothers developed a unique perspective on life and developed a true appreciation for the blessings we receive everyday. Both played soccer for Lebanese Premier League, Safa Sporting Club (SC) Beirut. "Safa" means clarity in English. How ironic this is when 7,000 miles away and a decade later the brothers would apply their "clarity" of purpose and distinct passion for teaching the game of soccer to boys and girls in southern California.
After spending their formative years in Lebanon and summers in Dubai they moved to southern California in 1984. Both went on to play soccer at Orange Coast College. During the 90's they coached soccer at Corona Del Mar and Newport Harbor high schools.
Walid Khoury, "Skills and teamwork are everything; you train hard, learn the game, love your teammates and success will naturally follow."
Ziad Khoury, "I love my players; I believe God put me on this planet to teach kids."
The brothers are now commonly found around the world in soccer's top circles for the youth, collegiate, and professional game. Combined they hold three Nike Coach of the Year awards (2003, 2006, and 2009). They share 7 National championships and 3 Nike World championships. They have prepared and placed soccer players at elite programs within every major NCAA division I conference.
A few of these players are Danesha Adams, Lexi Orand, Whitney Engen, Camille Levin, Ashley Nick, Christen Press, Ashlee Elliott, and Alyssa Dávila.
During their younger years a few boys also stopped by the Slammers program and went on to make significant impacts on the game; Sacha Kljestan (Chivas USA – MLS and US National team member), Tyson Wahl (Seattle Sounders FC-MLS), and Darren Spicer (Chivas-USA).
The initial teams competed as members of Orange Coast United. In 1999, a small group peeled away to start the Slammers FC. The club faced many early challenges; no club history, financial struggles, and minimal field space. The club sought out any place available to train, day or night (grass, dirt, sand, asphalt).
A typical day was when the sun went down over the grass fields at Lincoln elementary in Newport Beach and the players moved over to the asphalt basketball courts… the parents lined up cars, turned on their headlights, and voila… lighted fields!
In the first six years from 1994 to 1999 the club included about 6-9 teams. It was after the first regional championship in 2000, that this small group of passionate parents, hardworking players, and dedicated coaches started to garner looks from around Orange County.
The Slammers FC now had their first six of years of learning, correcting, and building under their belt. The hard work started to pay off. Not only did success knock on the Slammers door, it moved in and wouldn't leave. In seven years the club amassed 17 Cal South State Championships, 8 USYSA Region IV championships, 3 USYSA National Championships, 4 US Club Soccer National championships, and 2 Nike Youth World championships. The Slammers FC introduced a new group of kids from southern California who were ready and willing to compete and win on both national and international stages.
Three USYSA National Championships (2002, 2003, and 2005)
Now 34 teams strong including a newly founded Slammers Youth Academy for the little athletes aged U6 – U8, the club is excited for the future. Acquiring and building the right coaching staff and focusing on the club's principles is a key to future success. Slammers FC alumni are returning and offering their soccer experiences to the champions of tomorrow.
Elevating the boys program is a key focus for the club. "We are excited to build the boys program to the same high standards we are known for on the girls side", says Walid Khoury, "we are applying the same passion which put the girls program on the map".
Three key building blocks still remain from the early days at Lincoln elementary on the black top with a dozen headlights shining… make each athlete a better soccer player, make each group a better team, and help each young adult to be a better person.
The inspiring stories are the hundreds of athletes who find confidence, self esteem, and attendance to the college of their dreams. The program is built on instilling character, integrity, teamwork, reliability, responsibility, and trust.
The Slammers FC is a testament to a handful of boys and girls who invested their own time, passion, sweat, and tears during thousands of hours on the practice field, and in games. Lifelong friendships are forged here. Champions are built here. We have high hopes and high expectations. This journey is not for everyone. This is where we expect more… constantly raising the bar for you and your team. One Family… Committed to Excellence.

Discipline Dirtjump, Freeride, Slopestyle
Honors 3rd Crankworx Slopestyle 2010
How does FOX contribute to your success?
FOX contributes to my success by always being there for me. Always by making suspension that I can trust. I know that I'm not going to blow seals, bend or break my fork. You have to trust the products you ride, I trust FOX.
Tell us about your best race or event and how it changed you.
Air Affair in 2008 held in the Whistler Bone Yard, my first slopestyle competition. I went into it not knowing what was going to happen as there were quite a few good riders there that I had heard of before. My runs were really good and even the one run that I had a mishap on was really good. I placed 1st and was given an invite to Kokanee Crankworx Monster Energy Slopestyle as well as the VW Best Trick where I won Session 1 with a double pendulum. That changed it all for me right there.
Tell us about your bike/vehicle setup.
On my Hardtail I run a FOX Factory Series 32 831 100 FIT RLC fork, on my Slope bike I run a FOX Factory Series 32 831 100 FIT RLC and a FLOAT R shock.
What else is in your garage?
Tons of bike parts, hunting and fishing gear, woodwork tools for building, chain saw, and the rest is mostly my parents stuff.
What's your training regimen?
Riding wise, I try to learn most when I am at competitions. It's hard for me when I am at home because there isn't really anyone to push me anymore, all my good riding buddies that were top notch either went to school, got hurt, or just were over it. Fitness wise, I just like to build, hit the gym 2-3 times a week and just kill it on my bike.
Any major injuries, and how did you recover?
Aside from concussions and normal shoulder injuries, I have not had to many. I just take the time of the bike that the doctor recommends and hit the gym and pool to keep myself going.
What's your typical pre-race/event meal? Guilty pleasure?
Food, for me? Nah, not before a comp haha. I don't think I am the only athlete that doesn't eat before a comp but it's something that I can't do. Nerves can get to me and reaaaalllly put me off my game, but I have become very strong mentally when it comes to pressure so I have started having snacks before.
How do you determine which races or events to enter each year?
I go by the FMB World Tour. The final score is based on your top 5 events, so I usually choose about 7 or 8 events that I will go to. That way if I have a mechanical or physical mess up I won't be set back for points, it's always good to have backups!
What motivated you to get started professionally?
Well in highschool it made me sick listening to kids talk about how long they are going to be in university and that they are really not looking forward to the homework and projects. I didn't want that path, I wanted a really fun, adventurous lifestyle and I love riding my bike!
What separates you from other professional athletes?
Well I guess I am still young compared to most of the guys I compete against and ride with. I don't party at events until there is something to celebrate, yet we always have good times.
What would you be doing if you weren't a professional athlete?
I'm not to sure, I love diving and marine life so I have always thought about going to school for marine biology, but I like riding my bike a lot more, so that won't happen for a while. As a kid I always wanted to be a fire fighter or policeman haha, so maybe be one of them cool dudes later on.
What's the best thing about being a professional athlete?
The fans, they are honestly the best part! The make you feel like a celebrity and all the support they give you, it's awesome.
What other sports are you interested in?
I love most sports, the only ones that I can do without are basketball, lacrosse, and figure skating. I am really good at soccer, hockey, rugby and baseball.
Any advice to the readers dreaming to turn pro?
Don't give up, it takes time and persistence to make it to the top.
What are your favorite magazines and websites?
Decline and pinkbike.com
Favorite movie quote?
"You know the difference between you and me? I make this look good" - Will Smith, Men in Black.
Who is your hero?
Childhood hero - Crocodile Hunter. Todays hero - My grandma and grandpa for making an amazing family who supports me.
Are you a Mac or PC? I'm a Mac-man
Top 3 bands Can't really think of any favorites
Greatest strength Being calm at events when the pressure is on.
Most frustrating challenge Trying to escape all the drama in the hometown mountain bike scene!

Pray Tell, week! What were the Haps? is my now-official (it's official!) mini-practice of saying goodbye to the week, in an acknowledging + reviewing + closing ritual sort of way. A kind of weekly chapter in the Book of Me that I'll be attempting to do every Sunday, in an attempt to learn useful things from the stuff that worked and the stuff that didn't work so well.
Invoking Our Blogposting's Our Dave to help me write this with ease. And Our Play's Our Dave to keep things silly (oh wait, they already are).
The previous nonsensical sentence is the result of filtering Hiro's gorgeous concept of devas through my odd Mancunian* mind. *Meaning = someone who comes from Manchester
To briefly explain the concept, devas are energetical forms that hold the blueprint or pattern for the perfect unfolding of a thing. Kind of a more personable way of talking about the essence of something. Hence, the deva of blogposts, and the deva of silliness.
I've been invoking them left, right and centre this past week, with some glee. Sometimes I'm not sure if I'm doing it right (when wanting help with finding my socks do I call upon Our Socks' Our Dave, or Dave of Finding Things in General, or Dave of Ease and Calm?), in which case I go for the what the hell approach and figure the Daves will know what I'm talking about.
So, now that's clear… Onwards!
- – - – - – -
Pray Tell, week! What were the Haps?
What worked?
Or, Celebrations and More, please!
- Playing with asking for support from the Daves!
- Dance class! Yay to movement and expression and flow and heart-pumping and – thanks to my Shiva Nata practice – being able to laugh at my many, many mistakes and jump right back in.
- Doing practical stuff with friends, inspired by my recent library acquisition, Better Off. Because I almost always hang out with people in a sit-down-and-chat way, the concept of doing stuff as a social bonding thing is novel and delightful to me.
- Consciously focusing on having my mini-meditation (six minutes!) and three-pose yoga practice as an evening ritual. I've discovered that having them at the same time of day helps with the sense of ritual and rhythm, and now that I've become aware of my conflicted relationship with mornings, evening practice seems to be the answer.
- Force-fielding before interacting with other people's ideas (through books, websites, conversation). When I've remembered to do this, it has been ridiculously awesome in keeping me sovereign.
- Massage! Oh, my body was so very thankful for the massage.
What didn't work so much?
Or, Acknowledging, mourning and taking notes for next time.
- Not being prepared for the massage. Or specifically, not being prepared for the layers of stuck emotional gunk that would be released and the resulting feelings of complete awfulness as my body did its detoxing thing.
- Forgetting the 'it's not about me' rule when the Bably Glove was feeling down, which then set off all my old, deep abandonment-story patterns. No fun at all.
- Eating just before bedtime and/or eating sugary things in the evening. And then waking up feeling bleugh.
Noticing my deep longing for living in community.
Noticing that there is time.
Noticing the seeming conflict between the part of me that wants to live so minimally that all my belongings fit in a backpack and the part of me that drools over interior decorating blogs.
Noticing the pain that's been in my right arm for the past few days.
- – - – - – - – - – - -
Comment Zen
Hullo there.
Want to play/acknowledge/review/close the week with me? Or leave some noticings? Just saying hullo is also adored by me, and I can recommend a good 'hullo' heartily.
As always, the usual culture-notes and requests: we're all working with our stuff (including me), and we give each other space and love to do it in. Noticing where our stuff gets triggered + not throwing our stuff at other people = safe space to explore. Hurrah for safe spaces!
p.s. The itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny comment button is up there, by the post title. I know it's not the most practical of comment buttons, but you have to admit it's pretty cute.

website designs
We're geeks with panache...
Your website must be more than attractive. It must be accountable. It must convert a percentage of visitors into customers in order to be considered a viable asset to your company. Does your website do this? Our's do. The process without all the tech jargon... The first thing we will do is identify your market. This speaks of your geographical, gender, income, social status and age group your trying to increase sales within. Since people react differently to differing product offers we will develop numerous layouts and then send them out for focus group sessions and reviews from people within your target zone to see what their reaction is. We accept "WOW" as the acceptable response. Once we have created a layout and design that positively affects your audience, we begin step 2. In step 2 we will begin a competitive analysis of the local competition you have, then move to broader geographic locations who sell nationally and internationally. We will look at their sites, (if your another website design firm looking at this page, don't mock, you do it too, just won't admit it) see what they have done to build their success and what we can do to help you capture their share. (told you, no tech talk, if you want tech talk email email@example.com ) Once we have developed the layout, and competitive analysis we will then move on to step 3, project planning. Here we will begin the process of deciding the number of pages your site will need, the best collaboration between our team and yours, the marketing strategy needed to overtake the world and scheduling. The fourth step is quite simply put - lots of hard work and meetings. During the project we provide you with 24/7 access to your website model so you may review progress, suggest changes and request additions. The fifth step is to launch the site, submit it to the search engines and monitor rankings for needed changes to increase your sites search engine ranking. The final step is to provide your staff with training on how to use the sites content management system, Facebook, youtube and twitter pages to keep the site fresh and your clients interacted. Looking for a long term relationship? Most of our clients continue to use us for website management, continued search engine optimization and email marketing. Close to 70% actually.

The Pest
Rosa Montero
A group of eminent Malaysian biologists have discovered a new zoological species in southern Spain: the Marbella thief.* In reality, this animal has been sighted in the area for many years and locals have proclaimed its existence repeatedly, but since it eluded apprehension, authorities have considered it a more or less mythical creature. Now, after its successful capture by the Malaysians, they have verified that the insect exists and that there are abundant examples.
The Marbella thief usually manifests a strange tendency toward swollen lips, which biologists are calling mouthy, and an uncontrolled propensity for adorning the body with gold and gilded objects.
The Marbella thief is a sociable beast with seminocturnal tendencies. The male shows a high tendency toward a hairy upper lip and a fat, happy little belly. The female can have blackish-brown hair from birth, but becomes completely blonde by middle age (this mass conversion to blonde hair has not been understood by scientists); at the same time, she usually manifests a strange tendency toward swollen lips, which biologists are calling mouthy, and an uncontrolled propensity for adorning the body with gold and gilded objects. The thief is omnivorous, that is to say, it eats everything, but, to be sure, only the finest of everything, particularly high-quality Iberian dry-cured ham and tiger prawns. It has an inclination toward seafood restaurants, luxury establishments, flamenco clubs, yachts, golf courses, bullrings, and the Rocío pilgrimage. It loves going out on the town and tends to go to bed fairly late. And when leaving the last casino in the wee hours of the night, it tends to let out the self-important and haughty yell of its species, which is a repetitive hiccup that sounds like "hiiic, hiiic, hiiic, hiiic . . ."
The Marbella thief is a bug of uncertain origin. There are examples that hail from the marshes of the right and others from socialist breeding grounds, but then all develop into genuine thieves. Because this is the most frightening characteristic of the beast: its fabulous capacity to swindle, its uncommon instinct for thievery. Always insatiable, it accumulates jewelry, paintings, luxury cars and palaces, and it takes pleasure in keeping huge quantities of money in its house to roll in (the zoologists suppose that it does this to delouse itself). It is a very unreliable animal: be sure not to get too close because it bites.

This is a great debut. I could go with this guy teasing the audience for weeks. I don't care how old school his gimmick is. Give him a perfume bottle to spray in people's faces for all I care. He's going to conquer the squared circle, the same way he conquered the world of dance.
Wrestlemania is but a few short weeks away – we've confirmed four matches thus far.
- The Rock (c) vs. John Cena for WWE Championship
- Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. Jack Swagger for the World Heavyweight Championship
- The Undertaker vs. CM Punk
- The Shield vs. Sheamus, Randy Orton, & Ryback
There is still a lot to be decided! On tonight's show:
- Triple H will confront Brock Lesnar and their Wrestlemania match will be confirmed
- There will be a Triple Threat Match for the IC title with Wade Barret (c), Chris Jericho, and the Miz.
- And you know, the rest of the undercard will probably do something.
I'm hoping for some huge swerves and proverbial wrenches to be thrown in the dastardly of plans!

- Sturdy Case Opens Flat For Airport Security Or Use In Bag Review by Kit
Price Ease of Use Quality Beautiful case in a floral quilted print with reinforced sides will protect my laptop, open flat for going through airport security without removing laptop from bag. It also allows me to use my laptop in the bag for taking notes in class, unplug the power cord from the outlet and just lay the cord in the bag next to the laptop, zip up the case, and head for my next class, saving considerable time over repackaging everything every time in an old fashioned multi pocket case where I have to slip the laptop into its own pocket, the cord in another one, and any other attachments into yet another pocket, and unpack everything down the hall in the next classroom.

Collana di ispirazione celtica - Arancione e blu - Archeo-inspired Celtic Orange and Blue Necklace
Added on March 26, 2012 - # 67179
Category: Handmade
Polymer clay reproduction of an orange and blue Celtic Necklace
This sunny blue and orange polymer clay necklace is the handmade reproduction of a stunning glass beads Celtic necklace. The original dates back to the Vth century BC and is currently displayed at the Musée des Antiquités of St-Germain-en-Laye (France).
The polymer clay reproduction shows all the imperfections and signs imprinted on the original by the centuries and the weather, but its beads vibrate with the same life and joy conveyed by the Celtic women jewelry. Moreover, as most of its beads are hollow, this necklace is very light.
Colourful, asymetric, antique-looking, this necklace is a true eyecatcher!
Overall length: 44 cm
Max. length of the beads: 4 cm
This necklace will be made on order, therefore colors and designs may vary slightly from the pictures shown here.
Also, if you wish you could wear an antique-looking jewel, reproduction of your beloved archeological finding, please just drop me a convo and its picture (and, for the best possible reproduction, as many informations you have about it): I'll bee happy to reproduce it for you.

Diplomatic corps, worldwide watchers await State of the Union
When President Obama delivers his State of the Union Tuesday night, the world's eyes and ears will be in the House chamber with him — literally.
The annual speech is a can't-miss event for the Capitol's ambassadors and other heads of mission, dating back to when Woodrow Wilson restarted the tradition — discontinued under Thomas Jefferson — of having the president come to Congress and deliver the speech in person in 1913. The number of independent nations has grown exponentially since then, and almost 150 nations are expected to be represented Tuesday.
"145 chiefs of mission representing nations on six continents are expected to be in attendance tonight," said Amb. Capricia Penavic Marshall, the Chief of Protocol of the United States. "It's a wonderful tradition, and it's an honor to accompany these esteemed diplomats to the Capitol for this moment of great significance for our nation."
As is custom, Marshall will be escorting the dean of the Diplomatic Corps, Djibouti Ambassador Roble Olhaye, onto the House floor. The diplomats won't get to greet the president — lawmakers hoping for five seconds of face time have to wait in aisle seats for hours — but they'll have a chance to be part of what's become a Washington "spectacle."
"By December of 1913, when [Wilson] gave his State of the Union message ... everybody wanted to be in the room for the event," said Senate historian Donald Ritchie, and Congress "had their accommodations for the diplomatic corps in particular."
"Congress is the most open branch of government, and it wants people to see what it's doing," Ritchie said. "It built galleries specifically for this purpose, and right from the very start they felt that the diplomatic corps was an important part of the Washington community."
Ritchie said diplomats once made good use of the galleries, which aren't reserved for them anymore.
"Diplomats came to watch what was going on in Congress, especially when it was an issue relating to trade or to tariffs or something else," he said. "Before there was C-SPAN, the only way to know what was going on was either to be there to watch it or to wait until the Congressional Record came out the next day.
"Of course, their governments were very anxious to know what the Congress was doing, so diplomats attended regularly. And of course it was a good show; in the days before television, a lot of people spent time in the galleries watching [Massachusetts Sen.] Daniel Webster speak or other great moments. So Congress has tried to accommodate the diplomatic corps as best it could."
Today, he said, people around the world will also be watching from their living rooms now that the event is streamed online.
"Other nations are very interested in both the foreign policy aspects of the speech but even domestic issues," he said. "Climate change is really an international issue. So they're going to want to see what the priorities are and to judge what the likelihood is that he'll get what he's asking for."

This is a complex of buildings, all using the 580 address. It contains Smith Brothers building, The Venue and The Loft. (Office building and event spaces.) http://dock580.com/venue/
When I drive to work and park, see attached photo, I never get "you've reached your destination".
I think the issue is that the main south parking lot road is out of reach of whatever it is that triggers the "you've arrived at your destination".
I added the extra parking lot streets and set the address but it didn't fix the issue. There was also a disconnect on the north side of the street connecting to N. 4th St., I fixed that.
It's not a big deal but it seems like I don't get points for the commute.
