This past week saw the somewhat rocky debut of the WWE Network, and the set-up show for the Road to Wrestlemania. _________________________________________________________
If you have comments/questions, or if you'd like to add the AS I SEE IT
column to your website, I can be reached by e-mail at email@example.com)
The major problems with the WWE Network break down as follows:
Major League Baseball Advanced Media's (the company WWE is working with to handle the Network) had an inability in the first few days to handle the load of signups. Many people attempted to sign up and were unable to do so because of bandwidth and other issues.
MLBAM stated that the Network demand for sign-ups "exceeded anything we have seen in 14 years of doing e-commerce." If that had been the only problem, and it had only been a problem at the beginning, that would have been a GOOD problem in some ways; because it would have shown a major demand for the service (which it did).
But it wasn't just on the opening day. Even for those who were able to sign-up and submit their information without issues, there have been continuing problems with bugs in the Video On Demand function, one of the major selling points for the Network. Various problems are STILL being reported by those using Roku and Xbox devices, and the Google Chrome. WWE responded Friday regarding what seems to be one of the more pervasive issues: "Thank you for signing up for WWE Network. We are working aggressively to address the login issue for Xbox users and expect to have it resolved by this Monday, March 3, if not sooner. You will be notified via email as soon as this issue is fixed. We apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
In the meantime, please enjoy watching WWE Network on WWE.com, tablets, mobile phones or other connected devices."
OK. Most new products and services have technical issues. Just ask Barack Obama.
But then came the first live event on WWE Network, the NXT ArRIVAL special. In a moment that should give subscribers depending on it to watch Wrestlemania 30 pause ...there were problems.
The major issue seemed to be an outage at about two minutes before to the beginning of the Tyler Breeze vs. Xavier Woods match. Apparently when viewers tried to reload, they were taken to the show's opening match, then the feed would cut out altogether.
"During tonight's live NXT ArRIVAL special, we unfortunately experienced technical difficulties, which are to be expected when launching a new digital network. We will work aggressively to solve these glitches and deliver quality service. The complete event will be available on-demand overnight."
While it is true that these are problems to be expected when launching a new digital network, there's only so many times fans will accept apologies.
If there are similar problems with Wrestlemania 30,which will be magnified times a hundred thousand times, the whole house of cards will come tumbling down, and quickly.
There are also those who were unclear about the terms of the "free trial"... that really isn't. To get the free trial, credit card information had to be submitted, and credit cards charged. Subscribers have to specifically opt out if they want out, even those that have been already charged.
I'm no lawyer, but I'm curious as to whether a company that offered a free trial that didn't actually function for part or all of the "free trial" week can reasonably charge a customer as having used the free trial. If we have lawyers reading this column, I'd be curious to hear an opinion.
I'm also no tech wizard. But given how easily hackers have hacked into retail systems (see Target) as well as there having been similar issues with various debit and credit cards, I wonder how easily people can get into the Network to watch Wrestlemania 30 for free; or even access subscriber information.
Next, last week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter had speculated that Comcast might stop offering standard PPVs, based on a comment made to the Observer by a Comcast call center representative. This, fortunately, seems not be the case.
An ad for Wrestlemania 30 appears on the Mostlivesports.com Comcast subsite shows Wrestlemania 30 still advertised.
I also was personally sent the following by a Comcast representative:
"Hi Bob. I'm sorry for our delay in responding to your posts. I had to reach out to our content folks to make sure I had the correct answer. While http://WWE.com has launched their own online network and subscription (more info here: http://www.wwe.com/wwenetwork...), Comcast will continue to have WWE PPV events available to our customers.
So, being both a cable company and an internet provider, they're having it both ways. They get customers giving them money for PPVs and happy customers (well, maybe) who want to use the WWE Network, or both. This is smart. Unlike DISH Network, they are choosing to keep customers happy for now.
There's no way in hell I'd take the chance in trying to watch Wrestlemania 30 via the WWE Network. Wrestlemania 31 might be a very different thing altogether. But now? No way.
Then, there's the continuing issue of WWE's dissatisfied fans.
Barring some storyline swerve, fans are being told they'll get Randy Orton-Batista as a main event for Wrestlemania 30, and told that they'll like it. They may get it, but they won't like it, and they've been making their feelings very known by crapping all over Batista and Orton every chance they get. It's OK to have crowds crapping on a wrestler is OK for Orton as a heel, but not so much for Batista. Read below for a solution to this problem.
We're getting Brock Lesnar-Undertaker. Prety much what we expected, and a match everyone's OK with.
We're getting John Cena-Bray Wyatt, a storyline which has been set up in a reasonably good manner. But we're getting that match, rather than The Shield-Wyatt Family classic we saw, and a match we will see again one last time tonight. That match was a Wrestlemania 30 caliber match, and belonged there.
It tells you something when Ronda Rousey, a wrestling fan, tweets the following, it proves the point.
Just finished watching #WyattsVsShield on #WWEChamber - oh. my. god.
— Ronda Rousey (@RondaRousey) February 24, 2014
There aren't many matches or RAW or Smackdown that gets that reaction from anyone these days. But we aren't getting that match.
Moving on, we're getting the beginnings of a story that leads to Daniel Bryan-HHH, but a lot of fans have little or no trust that HHH will put over Bryan.
Could we get Danielson put into the main event, too? I have my doubts (but read a suggested way to do it below).
But if you'd like a perfectly plausible scenario from new PWBTS columnist Doug Maynard on how WWE could do this (you can read his columns on PWBTS.com and at the Tossing Salt website), here's his scenario:
"As for the WWE World Title Match and main event, it needs to have Daniel Bryan in it. That's obvious to everyone.
So how do we get Daniel Bryan from a match with HHH to the main event? Pretty simple actually. We look back and take a page from Wrestlemania X and Bret Hart. Have HHH accept Bryan's challenge. And that match is locked in.
But here comes Vince McMahon and in a move that's 'best for business', he adds a stipulation to the match. Daniel Bryan versus HHH will open Wrestlemania XXX. And if Bryan wins, he gets inserted into the WWE Championship match at the end of the night, turning it into a triple-threat match.
And if Bryan loses, he had to go walk Stephanie's dog or something of that nature. Who cares what the stipulation really is because this is simple, makes sense and gives Daniel Bryan two great matches to showcase his skills and be able to be where he needs to be at the end of the night with that great 'Wrestlemania moment' in the main event."
Will what Doug suggested happen? It's perfectly logical, could be done easily and plausibly, and makes sense, so probably not.
But since Doug wrote that, the story about Punk returning tonight came up.
Tonight, of course, is Monday Night RAW in Chicago. As of the moment I type this: no CM Punk.
The Observer and others websites have reported that fans online are encouraging the #HijackRAW hashtag on Twitter for RAWs between now and Wrestlemania 30 tapings, including tonight. There is also a Twitter account specifically set up to encourage fans to take over tonight's RAW. It's been said that WWE is "aware and planning accordingly". There was a story on Wrestling Observer Radio on Saturday that CM Punk will return in Chicago. Hopefully, this is true, and WWE breaks out Punk and fools us all. If not we'll have three hours of pissed off Chicago fans with signs and/or chants all night, or people sitting on their hands in retaliation, which might be worse.
So...from the Pro Wrestling Only forum, here's a way to tie up the CM Punk mess, the Daniel Bryan mess, and HHH all up in one neat bow.
..."If they indeed have Punk back in the fold, then you do HHH vs. Bryan [tonight] with the stipulation that a win puts Bryan in the WM main. Punk returns and helps Bryan win, ala Austin/Foley/Rock, Bryan goes on to the WM main, Punk takes on HHH at WM."
It's clear that WWE doesn't seem outwardly thrilled with the response to recent booking. God only knows what they think privately. If the whole thing with Punk was orchestrated all along (and I have little more knowledge that nyone else about that), it's brilliant.
But it's clear WWE doesn't like criticism. Well, Vince McMahon can't have it both ways, looking for an internet-savvy "WWE Universe", pushing them to use his WWE App and buy his WWE Network, then not give fans what they want, and tell them they'll take what he gives and like it; and not expect them to express themselves online or at shows.
So last week was again not the best week for Vince McMahon. We'll see what tonight brings. Until next time....

Smart Lesson: Combatting the Resource Curse in Fragile and Conflict-Affected Countries
Control over natural resources often plays an important role in armed conflicts, either because warring factions fight over access to natural resources or because natural resources help finance one or several of the factions. Recent examples include the several wars fought, in part, over access to oil in the Middle East and wars fueled by "blood diamonds" in West Africa. The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) facilitates public control over the wealth generated by these natural resources and limits corruption.
The EITI, launched in 2002 and endorsed by the World Bank in 2003, has provided tangible governance improvements in resource-rich conflict-affected countries. It works with multiple stakeholders—a coalition of governments, companies, investors, international organizations, and civil society organizations — to manage a process of publication and verification of company payments and government revenues from oil, gas, and mining.

David C. Driskell, Reclining Nude, 2000woodcut, AP, collection of the artist© David C. Driskell, 2007Photograph by Greg StaleyPhoto courtesy of High Museum of Art.
Featuring 80 prints which provide insight into Driskell's artistic process and development, the exhibition will be presented in conjunction with the fifth anniversary of the High's David C. Driskell Prize for achievement in African American art and scholarship.
Evolution featurse woodcuts such as the Bakota Girl series (1972-1974) and Benin Woman (1975), which reveal the influence of the artist's travels to Africa and his desire to enrich his own connection to African culture. In Bakota Girl 1, Driskell draws inspiration from a Kota reliquary, while also referencing Byzantine Christian iconography through his use of gilt and jewel tones. Over the course of his career, Driskell has explored the intersection between African sculpture, Modernist aesthetics, and the tradition of Western art. In his Reclining Nude (2000), Driskell references Matisse's Blue Nude of 1906, reclaiming the African imagery which served as a key source of inspiration to 20th-century modernists. Examples of Driskell's self-portraits will also play an important role in the exhibition. Spanning more than thirty years, these works reflect the artist's wide range of stylistic approaches, from the traditional pose and naturalistic representation of Self Portrait (1970), to Pensive (2004), in which Driskell transforms his own features into to those of an African mask. Accompanying the exhibition is a fully illustrated 120-page catalogue published by Pomegranate Communications. It includes a curatorial essay by Dr. Adrienne Childs; an essay by Ruth Fine, Curator of Special Projects in Modern Art, National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; and an introduction by Deborah Willis, Professor of Art, Tisch School of Arts, New York University. The catalogue is among the very few that document the medium of printmaking by African American artists, and it is the most comprehensive exploration of Driskell's work to date.
David C. DriskellBorn in 1931 in Eatonton, Georgia, Driskell is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Maryland, College Park. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Howard University in 1955 and his Master of Fine Arts degree from Catholic University in 1962. He also attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine in 1953, and studied art history at The Hague, The Netherlands, in 1964. In 1976, Driskell curated the groundbreaking exhibition "Two Centuries of Black American Art: 1750–1950," which laid the foundation for the field of African American art history. Since 1977, he has served as cultural advisor to Camille O. and William H. Cosby and as the curator of the Cosby Collection of Fine Arts. In a White House ceremony in 2000, Driskell received the National Humanities Medal from President Bill Clinton, and in 2007 he was elected as a National Academician by the National Academy. David C. Driskell CenterThe David C. Driskell Center for the Study of the Visual Arts and Culture of African Americans and the African Diaspora at the University of Maryland, College Park, celebrates the legacy of David C. Driskell by preserving the rich heritage of African American visual art and culture. Established in 2001, the Center provides an intellectual home for artists, museum professionals, art administrators and scholars of color, broadening the field of African diasporic studies. The Driskell Center is committed to preserve, document and present African American art as well as to replenish and expand the field of African American art. More information about the Driskell Center is available at www.driskellcenter.umd.edu Organized by the David C. Driskell Center for the Study of the Visual Arts and Culture of African Americans and the African Diaspora at the University of Maryland, College Park, "Evolution" premiered at the Driskell Center and traveled to the Wichita Art Museum before its exhibition at the High. It will subsequently travel to the Portland Museum of Art, where it will be on view October 27, 2009, through January 17, 2010.

Danny does Volcan Baru
Boquete Garden Inn's awesome office manager Danny and friend/former guest Lyle, hiked Volcan Baru on Saturday, Danny's night off. The had a perfect, clear morning and from the summit, they were able to see Volcan, Cerro Punta, Guadalupe…and Lyle's convinced he saw some women sunbathing at Playa Barqueta.
Way to go, guys!
Tips from Danny and Lyle: it's really dusty up there right now, so wait for some rain before heading up (but not too much, or else it'll get sloppy). Also: try to avoid weekends. It's super busy, and a number of those monster 4×4 trucks pass you along the way, spewing exhaust. Lyle estimated that about 100 people were going up Saturday night (!!).
I'm up next. I've set a goal for myself: I'll be up there before the end of March. Stay tuned!

Holding Random People's Hands Prank Is Our Favorite Prank Ever
We see people holding hands all the time, with the assumption being that the pair know each other. But the pranksters of LAHWF have put a new twist on the gesture of physical intimacy by walking up to random folks and taking them by the hand. Check out the video results of this interesting sociological experiment.
In the past, LAHWF have performed similar stunts involving sitting next to random people and also high-fiving strangers. (Yup, they have very little shame.) But they seem to really hit their stride with this hand holding prank.
It turns out nothing bad is going to happen to you if you sidle on over and grab a stranger by the mitt. At worst you will get a confused stare, and at best a potential love connection.
We should mentioned that LAHWF's videos take place in Utah, which may be a friendlier place than most. So any re-creation of the prank is at your own risk.

School student enjoys the chance to hit the road
ONE afternoon a week just for fun Isabella Fleetwood heads out for an 8km run.
The 13-year-old Gladstone road runner found she had quite a knack for the sport after performing well at school athletics carnivals.
Fleetwood said she found running relaxing and fun.
"If you've got something on your mind it just all clears when you are running," Fleetwood said.
Travelling anywhere between the Sunshine Coast and Mackay to run in long-distance events Fleetwood said she enjoyed the competitive side of it as well.
"It just gives you someone to run up against."
She joined the Gladstone Road Runners four years ago to get in another day of running each week.
Fleetwood's dad Les had been involved with the group 25 years ago and did not pass up the opportunity to join with his daughter when she showed an interest in 8running.
They agree running doubled as great father-daughter time.
"I run with her all the time," he said.
"If it wasn't for her being good at running in school I probably wouldn't have done it."
Even if it did make for added rivalry at events, with the win count between the two so far at 5-6 to dad.
"It upsets her," he laughed.
He said his daughter was passionate and motivated and when it came to running with her "the longer the better".
He said they would continue to travel and enter long-distance events.
"Every year we will try and fit in more."
Although Isabella only runs 10km at the moment, her goal is to run a half marathon which is 21km.
Series win
Isabella recently took out the series overall champion for the 18 years and under, female, 10km category of the Burnett Heads Lighthouse Race Series.
The series comprised three 10km races over October, September and November.
Isabella won all three races and in the first race blitzed the field by 10 minutes.

This episode includes poetry and haggis. Actually, poetry and haggis together! A little haggis always makes the poetry go down easier, don't you think?
Let's kick things off with ...
Airport Shenanigans of Mistaken Euphoria
You know that feeling you get when you get the last tickets to Scotland on an earlier flight, and your least favorite teams are stuck on a flight three hours later? You do a little dance, skip around, maybe plan to do some sightseeing with all that free time you'll be enjoying? So that's Joey and Meghan and Mona and Beth.
Bates and Anthony aren't happy with the later flight, though, so they go in search of something better. Oh, look, they find something two hours earlier! Jennifer and Caroline get that flight, too, and Max and Katie already secretly know about it, so suddenly the back of the pack heads to the front.
Make up your own jokes
Teams drive themselves to Gosford House, which is really only a house in that maybe once upon a time people lived there. But, seriously, it's a castle. It's like that last episode of "Downton Abbey" when they went to visit relatives in Scotland and they lived in a castle. That's Gosford House.
The Royal Regiment of Scotland, a serious bagpiping band, is waiting. For the Roadblock, one person must learn to play a harmonizing note on the bagpipes and carry the tune for two minutes while they march around the Marble Room with the Royal Scots. The Marble Room is probably four times the size of the house you live in, at least, so again it's not much of a room. I guess the Scots are just modest with their names.
Max looks dashing in a kilt. He learns for a bit, then says, "The more practice I did, the more time I was wasting," so he just heads out and plays the pipes. He passes on his first try.
Bates is half-Scottish (and I swear I thought he looked Scottish before he said anything! A descendant of a Highlander, for sure). He finishes on his first try, too.
Caroline tries. Jennifer says, "She's a singer, she knows how to blow." Only not so much because after six tries Caroline's mouth won't work anymore. Then she cries and tries again and passes.
Caroline collapses on the floor in joy, then she stands up and hugs her trainer. "I have found my husband in Scotland," she declares. "His name is Jim. I think he's 70." They make a great couple.
A few hours later, Mona makes quick work of the bagpipes.
Meghan does the Roadblock, saying, "Oh my gosh! I played the trumpet for like four years!" Later, she says of her coach, "I basically made out with that guy. He was putting his mouth all over my bagpipe." Meghan is the most awkward-looking bagpiper but she passes.
Roll out the barrels!
For the Detour, Bates and Anthony choose to roll eight barrels of whiskey uphill to a festival. But rolling isn't manly enough for them, so they carry the barrels on their hulking shoulders. Yowza.
"I feel like the Greek gods, holding up the world," says Bates. "We have the same body."
If you've never written poetry for your food before then you don't love your food very much
The other Detour option is to make some haggis. If you'd like to continue living your life without knowing what haggis is, then skip ahead. Otherwise, the recipe given in the show is: ground up heart, liver, lungs, and fat, mixed with seasoning and oats, and stuffed into an ox's intestine. Then it's tied off like sausages and cooked somehow, or maybe just warmed. Haggis!
You know who loved haggis? Robert Burns, an 18th century Scottish poet. While Max and Katie are stuffing some intestines, Robert Burns walks in to the Sheep Heid Inn and recites:
Fair and full is your honest jolly face
Great chieftain of the sausage race!
Above them all you take your place,
Stomach, tripe or intestines:
Well are you worthy of a grace
As long as my arm.
You powers, who make mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill of fare,
Old Scotland wants no watery stuff
That splashes in small wooden dishes;
But if you wish her grateful prayer,
Give her a Haggis!
Doesn't it make you want to pump your fist into the air and shout, "F— yeah, haggis!" I guess poetry could be considered the food Instagram of the Olden Days. Now I want everyone to write a poem about what they had for dinner last night. I'll start.
Italian wedding soup
I was out of tomato paste
I used ketchup instead
It didn't change the taste
Pureed for the kids
Chunky for the grownups
Leftovers in my fridge
Nobody throwed up.
I mean, I could write something awesome, but it's late, I don't want to lose sleep over it. It was just soup, not haggis.
Do you need more haggis chat? Haggis Chat, by the way, should totally be a real talk show or at least a band name. Caroline: "What is haggis?" Jennifer: "Probably like a meat pudding." Caroline: "I blew something hard all day, now let's just eat it." *rimshot*
Meghan: "You know what haggis is, don't you?" Joey: "No I don't. Tell me." Meghan: "You don't want to know."
A rainbow of a speed bump
Mona and Beth have to bowl for their speed bump, but in Scotland it's called skittles (not like the candy, unless it totally is) and the balls don't have holes for fingers. They play at the oldest pub in Edinburgh, so old that they have to run down the lane and reset the pins themselves. Also, the floor is a little wonky so they have to aim to the left. It's not regulation skittles, exactly.
I turn, U turn, We all turn!
The Double U-turn would have been very interesting if that airport scenario had ended differently. But it didn't. The top three teams made a deal to U-turn Joey and Meghan and Mona and Beth, and that's exactly what they do.
YouTube and the Moms had been making haggis together, but Mona and Beth finished several minutes earlier because of their ninja mom cooking skills. They start rolling barrels while Joey and Meghan finish stuffing haggis.
Meghan is not very strong rolling the barrels, so she and Joey team up to roll one barrel at a time. Mona and Beth finish first, but Joey and Meghan are catching up.
Jekyll and Hyde
The greeter at the Pit Stop mat looks like the Phantom of the Opera but with a more grotesque mask. Phil does his eyebrow to scare people, so it's a pretty freaky mat.
Max and Katie take first place again, just edging out Bates and Anthony. Caroline and Jennifer are third.
After driving and running and suspense, Mona and Beth arrive in fourth place. Joey and Meghan are last, and Jekyll roars at them. Poor kids. Phil eliminates them.
Next week: Holy cow, it's a two-hour finale! I'm not even prepared! Beth says that there's a lot of absurdity, and I agree because it looks like someone goes snorkeling in a mud puddle. Stock up on cheese and haggis, everyone!

Sadlier and Irish History
Sadlier's concern for contemporary Irish and Irish-American issues was linked to her interest in Ireland's past. If Sadlier's polemical writings about the evils of Protestant schools and intermarriage and her distrust of Protestant reformers and charity organizations seems bigoted, perhaps that is because it is grounded in centuries of distrust between Irish Catholics and the Protestant British. Sadlier's hometown, County Cavan, borders on what is today Northern Ireland; suggesting the possibility that Sadlier's distrust of everything Protestant could have originated in the hostility common between ethnic groups in border areas. A brief look at the Irish history about which Sadlier wrote will help explain the nationalism, as well as pessimism about the future, that is so critical to novels such as The Blakes and Flanagans and Bessy Conway. In 1690, the British government overthrew the last Irish revolt at the Battle of the Boyne, and nearly all of the land in Ireland was given to 10,000 Protestant families during a period called the "Protestant Ascendancy." Catholic landowners were transformed into tenants on their ancestors' lands, and were forced to grow cash crops in order to make their rent payments. A series of Penal Laws were passed that forbade Catholics from purchasing land, inheriting land on equal terms with Protestants, voting or holding elected office, engaging in certain trades or professions and owning or carrying firearms. Many Catholic churches were also destroyed. By the late eighteenth century, many of the harshest Penal Laws were relaxed or repealed, but Protestant landlords continued to dominate the countryside, collecting high rents and protected by a British police force. The British statesman Edmund Burke, of Irish Catholic ancestry, wrote that the Protestant Ascendancy had transformed Ireland's Catholics in a "race of cringing slaves," a central image of much of Sadlier's writing (Miller, 18-19).
The greatest devastation came with the Famine of 1845-1850, which forever altered the demographic makeup of Ireland, Irish politics, as well as Irish family and religious patterns. In the 1840s, 75 percent of Irish farmers were dependent on potatoes, one of the only crops that could grow with any profit on the small parcels of lands most farmers owned and that were nutritious enough as a dietary staple to support subsistence living. In 1845, however, a new fungus blighted the potato crop, and continue to destroy harvests for five years. As one historian writes, "the result was mass starvation on a scale not witnessed in the British Isles or in Western Europe for more than a hundred years" (Miller, 26-7). Unable to pay their rents, more than a half-million Irish were evicted from their cottages, a scene vividly portrayed in Sadlier's Bessy Conway . All told, more than a million died from starvation, typhus and dysentery, and three million were reduced to charity (Diner, 2). Bessy Conway's young sister Ellen, sick in a corner of the cabin when the police come to evict the family, was most likely from from dyserntery. Some Irish launched a futile rebellion in 1848, hoping to shake British power at a time of European turmoil, but were unsuccessful (Miller, 109).
The Famine depopulated Ireland's population. In the years during and after the Famine another three million people -- nearly 30 percent of the island's inhabitants -- left Ireland (Miller, 29). A total of about seven million Irish immigrated to the United States in the last two hundred years (Miller, 8). The Famine accelerated the pace of immigration. Between 1847-1854, more than 100,000 Irish immigrated every year, with 200,000 immigrating in 1851 alone. By 1860, the Irish made up 51 percent of all the foreign-born people in the country (Hueston, 138). Ireland's western provinces, historically one of its poorest regions, were especially hard-hit by the Famine. In 1979, Ireland's westernmost counties had scarcely 600,000 people, less than a third their population before the Famine (Miller, 89). The west's devastation might have inspired Sadlier to set New Lights; or Life in Galway there.

Review for Cultivate Longevity Review by Lucas
Apologies to John P Milton for my previous review. One week on and I can see that I was much too harsh.
The silly mistakes in the study guide are still a problem, and I still don't think this program stands alone as a complete instruction in beginner's qigong, which is why 4 stars.
But by following John's tips and guidance I believe you can build a much more powerful practice than you will with many other teachers out there. (Posted on September 28, 2014)
Review for Cultivate Longevity Review by Lucas
I'm pretty disappointed overall. After reading great things about these videos I bought the series of three plus John's T'ai Chi for Liberation. I can see the potential for learning a powerful practice, but it's just a bit too confusing and impractical.
I am not a total beginner, having done some Spring Forest Qigong in the past. Which was lucky because as I worked through the study guide I came across things that conflicted with what I had learnt before (e.g. doing the active exercises two hours before eating or half an hour after. Other teachers say the opposite, 2 hrs after, 0.5 hrs before).
Closer examination shows that there are other mistakes in the study guide, where sections have been copy-and-pasted and clearly don't apply to what they're describing (e.g. rising and falling arms during "The Turtle of Long Life", which is just a movement of the head).
It's easier to learn the techniques working along with the video, and I can feel the qi powerfully. The downside is the video instruction is too long in one session (1.5 hrs) and has no guidance on how to break it up if working along with it.
I can imagine once you've learnt each position from the video, you can create your own routine, which will as little or as much time as you like. However you would need to ignore the contradictory information, somehow learning from another source what is true.
I have now started Ken Cohen's "Essential Qigong Training Course" instead, which is much better structured and not as error-ridden. I might return to these after I'm confident I have learnt the basics properly, but by then I might have no need for these and may return them. (Posted on September 21, 2014)

Mad Aubergine is a game developed by an italian "team" (a 17 years old guy) with the intent of making a game full of weapons, enemies, gibs and other stuff. The game born after his dad played Cave Story: he was really amazed by the story, the cool weapons and how the game was made by a single developer. Probably, the game is also affected by many Nintendo games such as Kirby and Metroid. Currently it has just 2 game modes that don't include Story mode (it'll appear soon): ARENA and STADIUM. In ARENA mode, the player will face big waves of enemies and the goal of this mode is to survive as long as possible. In STADIUM mode, the player will be spawned into a random generated map and, while he explores it, he must kill every enemy on the stage just to make the highest score possible. NOTE: the game is developed just in the main developer's free time.

"I got involved when my son was about 10 or 11 years old and he wanted to compete. I drove him to an [Eastern Surfing Association] contest, and that became habitual," Anthony said. "He wanted to keep competing, so I was there all the time at these day-long events helping set up and tear down. Eventually I was judging, and next thing I know I am the director of the organization. One thing led to another. Now, I'm the director for the ASF up here in New York."
Through the years, Anthony learned that from a competitive standpoint, there are really only a few things the judges are truly looking for.
"The judges are looking for radical controlled maneuvers in the critical section of the wave," Anthony said, explaining how wave conditions play a key role in determining what judges are looking for. "If we were standing here and it was head-high barrels, they're going to be looking for guys that are tucking into the barrel. If we've got a decent swell with open-face waves but not barreling, they're going to be looking for guys who are making radical turns on the face of the wave right where it's breaking."
Beyond that, it's all about personal style, attitude and demeanor.
Now, as head of the Atlantic Surfing Federation, Anthony runs events all along the East Coast throughout the summer. The first ASF competition of the year was held at Rockaway Beach's Rockstock and Barrel surf-and-music festival just a few blocks from his home the past weekend.
Rockstock was the first competition of the Atlantic Surfing Federation's summer series, which will culminate with an October championship event at Sebastian Inlet in Florida.
"It's a three-day contest down there, and we've been pretty lucky and had very contestable waves the three years we've been running it," Anthony said.

In your opinion, how much mental preparation and review is a good thing, and when is it too much?
Clearly, when you are practicing kata over and over in your head or techniques and never doing any phyiscal application, that is "overthinking it". Also, I've had moments where I'm simply doing a technique, hojo undo, or kata again and again and something "clicks". There is benefit from simpy DOING.
But I do believe mental review and attention to what you are doing is also useful...but is there a point where it's not?
Hope this question makes sense. Thanks!

Companies, governments, European Union and NGOs reach agreement on next steps
More than 400 leaders from business, governments, the European Union and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) meeting in Lisbon have signaled a major shift in thinking on the role of business in biodiversity conservation.
Convergence between public and private sectors on the critical importance of biodiversity – the rich diversity of animals, plants and nature that supports us all – and what needs to be done now to stem a steadily worsening global crisis, emerged at the conference.
Francisco Nunes Correia, Portugal's Minister for the Environment, Spatial Planning and Regional Development, said: "Current development patterns are unsustainable and biodiversity is being lost at an unprecedented rate. Business has a crucial role in preserving biodiversity, and Europe can be a world leader in making this happen on the ground."
CEOs and senior directors from major European companies in many sectors also showed surprisingly strong consensus on the business case for putting biodiversity at the heart of their companies.
António Mexia, CEO of EDP Energias de Portugal, the largest energy utility in Portugal, said: "When it comes to biodiversity, the sky is the limit. Given our company policy on corporate social responsibility, we have no other choice than to make biodiversity partnerships work."
A Message from Lisbon was released calling on business, governments, the EU and NGOs to:
- Continue raising awareness of the strong competitive advantage companies can gain from conserving biodiversity;
- Promote the use of market, corporate responsibility and regulatory schemes;
- Support business with operational tools for biodiversity conservation and measuring their performance in meaningful ways, especially in small and medium sized companies; and
- Encourage new incentives to develop and strengthen partnerships between companies, governments at all levels, NGOs and academia.
"It is clear that European businesses are quickly waking up to the importance of biodiversity, and the market opportunities it can offer, in their business strategies," said Peter Carl, Director General of the Environment Directorate of the European Commission. He added, "The European Commission is committed to supporting the key actions in the Message from Lisbon."
While CEOs and environmentalists might still sometimes use different terminology, the Lisbon conference showed just how close their thinking has become on protecting biodiversity before it is too late.
Julia Marton-Lefèvre, Director General of IUCN, praised the frank exchange of views and the willingness of key players from all sectors to work together. She said: "No one sector has all the answers. The wide range of large and small solutions needed to avert a breakdown in biodiversity will only be successful if companies, governments and NGOs work more closely together."
Biodiversity is being increasingly seen as the foundation that underpins all economic, social and cultural activity on the planet. Destroying biodiversity – whether through climate change, pollution or the unsustainable use of natural resources – could irrevocably damage the water, food, air and other natural resources that humans, and our societies and businesses, depend on.
The Message from Lisbon will be followed up at the EU Council in December this year, the Convention on Biological Diversity's meeting in May 2008 in Bonn, and the IUCN World Conservation Congress in October 2008 in Barcelona.

Building a coaching or consulting practice can be rewarding and lucrative. Sadly, many who get started on this path simply can't make it. Almost daily I talk to people who give up on their dream of "solopreneurship" and, resentfully, join the ranks of job seekers.
What disturbs me the most is that many of them are talented and skilled professionals; real experts in their field. With just a bit of marketing know-how they may have been able to generate healthy six-figure incomes doing the work they love.
Instead, they spend tons of money getting more certifications. They are becoming "master technicians" mistakenly thinking that alone will get them clients. But that's not how it works at all!
Let's take the coaching profession for example. You see, prospective clients don't even know the difference between ICF, CTI, Hudson, Adler, CoachVille or any other certification. They have no clue what CPC, MCC or other letters you might be putting behind your last name mean – nor do they care! What they care about is results – what benefits they'll receive.
There's a lot of talk in the coaching community right now about certifications, and while I agree it is important, it doesn't matter one bit if you don't have clients! Plus, you can be the most educated, certified, qualified, and professional coach out there and still struggle to stay busy.
You might think that's common sense, right? WRONG! I see coaches drop thousands of dollars in a blink of an eye to get another certification and agonize for months over a hundred dollars investment in a marketing course!
The good news, unlike getting certified, learning a few simple marketing strategies doesn't have to cost thousands of dollars. And it can make all the difference in the world. As a matter of fact, here are my top four "practice marketing secrets" absolutely free.
Marketing Secret #1 – Know Your "Ideal" Client
It's critical that you know who they are, what their biggest problems are, how they make decisions, what they like to spend money on, where they hang out, etc. The "narrower" you describe your ideal clients and the more you know about them the easier it becomes to get your marketing message across.
Marketing Secret #2 – Become An Expert
And I don't just mean be good at what you do. Heck, you should do that anyway! I mean position yourself as an expert in a specific area.
For example, you might be work with C-level executives in the insurance industry, or teach sales skills to realtors, or do turn-around consulting in manufacturing, or help working young mothers achieve life balance, or become a dating guru. Whatever makes you tick – just focus on one thing!
Marketing Secret #3 – Use Multi-Step Marketing
This is where I see so many professionals completely blow it. If a potential client doesn't sign up for your services what do you do? Forget about them? I hope not! You work hard to get new leads and meet potential prospects so why give up on them? Many people simply feel uncomfortable doing business with someone they don't know too well.

After Christmas I had a few days at home to work on my weaving, so I finished the teal/turquoise swiss twill warp. Mimi decided she needed more attention so she snuck in and took a seat.
Here's the big pile just off the loom. I've wet finished now, but need to press and hem them still.
And finally, I got a new warp on the loom. This is a mystery cotton warp that's not particularly strong. Fortunately, it wound on like a dream, but now that I'm weaving, I'm getting a lot of broken ends on my selvedges. I have it threaded in a crackle pattern and love it! I didn't get a picture of any of the weaving though, so here's just a picture of the warp, ready to go on.
Oh, also, I got an inkle loom for Christmas and have made several bands out of carpet warp. It's so much fun! They make awesome hair bands and cat toys.

Zynga shares are down more than 21 percent over the past six months, but that didn't stop the company's board from approving CEO Don Mattrick's $57,814,391 pay package this year.
The company held its annual shareholders meeting Wednesday at its San Francisco headquarters, and a spokesperson said all motions were approved and board of directors were re-elected. She said there were several questions from shareholders but would not disclose any details.
Zynga's Mattrick is the second-highest paid CEO of all the companies in the Bay Area—after Oracle's Larry Ellison—but Zynga is far from being one of the top performing stocks in the region.
Mattrick was hired away from Microsoft to lead Zynga last July, after the company's founder Mark Pincus relinquished operational control of the social gaming company that built its brand around the FarmVille gaming franchise on Facebook. Despite an extremely volatile ride, the company's stock is essentially where it was when Mattrick took over last July 8.
Still, Mattrick has his outside supporters. UBS analysts in a report issued Tuesday said they "remain constructive over both the medium and longer term." UBS's conclusions were based on a dinner conversation at the E3 gaming conference with Zynga CFO David Lee.
He also has his critics. "We're neutral to negative on Zynga and while the CEO's pay is clearly high, our bigger concern is shareholder dilution," which is at least partially the result of several other hires in the last year, said Adam Krejcik, managing director at Eilers Research.
The stock has been pretty volatile over the last year. Last Friday, Zynga plunged 10 percent, and that followed a 50 percent selloff from its recent highs in March of close to $6 a share. Shares have tumbled nearly 44 percent in the past three months and are down more than 16 percent since the beginning of the year.
Read MoreDisappointing Zynga primes for a comeback
Mattrick acknowledged the company's difficulties at a recent Bank of America Merrill Lynch technology conference, saying "we're nowhere near where we should be."
But despite analysts' mixed perspective on Zynga's future growth prospects, few questions appear to have been raised at the shareholder meeting about Mattrick's pay package.
When the board signed off on his pay they knew it was a high risk, and potentially high, or low reward proposition, said F. Daniel Siciliano, professor and associate dean at Stanford Law School's Arthur and Toni Rembe Rock Center for Corporate Governance.

John Godina finds his name near the top of a long list of dominant American men in the shot put. A total of four times in his career he finished the year ranked No. 1 in the world in the event and finished no worse than second in the world from 1995 until 1998. His career is highlighted with a silver medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, a bronze medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games and winning a trio of World Outdoor Championships gold medals ('95, '97, '01). A standout for Bob Larsen at UCLA, Godina won five NCAA individual titles in his career for the Bruins that included the indoor shot put and outdoor discus titles in 1994 and indoor and outdoor shot put and outdoor discus championships in 1995 and set the collegiate outdoor shot put record at 72-2.5. He also won the 1998 World Cup title in the shot put and won World Indoor Championships gold in 2001 and silver medals in 1999 and 2003. Retiring in 2008, Godina was elected to the hall of fame the first year he was eligible.
Kenny Harrison

After being forced to miss the 1992 Olympic Games due to injury, Kenny Harrison took advantage of his chances in 1996 in Atlanta. The 1991 World Outdoor Championships gold medalist in the triple jump, Harrison reached new levels with a mark of 18.09m/59-4.25 at the 1996 Olympic Games. The distance not only gave Harrison the Olympic gold medal, but also established the Olympic and American records, which both stand 17 years later. The international titles go along with a total of six indoor and outdoor national titles in Harrison's career. A standout competing for Kansas State, Harrison also won the 1986 NCAA Outdoor title in the triple jump, the 1986 NCAA Indoor title in the long jump and 1988 NCAA Indoor title in the triple jump. Harrison ended his career with the Wildcats a 15-tim All-American and eight-time Big 8 champion.
Veteran Athletes
Steve Williams
Born: November 13, 1953
Few in the history of the sport of track and field set world records as frequently as Steve Williams. Between 1973 and 1976, he set the world record in the 100m on four separate occasions and set the world record once each in the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes. In 1973 he was ranked No. 1 in the world in both the 100m and 200m and repeated that honor in the 100m in 1975. He was the best in the world in 1977 when he won the World Cup title in the 100m and anchored the American 4x100m team that included Bill Collins, Steve Riddick and Cliff Wiley to a world record. However, Williams fell short of reaching Olympic competition. A career that truly began in 1973, Williams sustained an injury during the 1976 Olympic Trials and Team USA boycotted the 1980 Olympic Games. Williams competed for both the University of Texas-El Paso and San Diego State.
Eleanor Montgomery
Born: November 13, 1946
Eleanor Montgomery joins the National Track & Field Hall of Fame alongside current members and Tennessee State Tigerbelle teammates Wilma Rudolph, Wyomia Tyus, Madeline Manning, Martha Watson, Mae Faggs, Edith McGuire, Willye White and Chandra Cheeseborough, as well as coach Ed Temple. As an athlete at Tennessee State, Montgomery quickly established herself as the top high jumper in the country, winning a total of 13 AAU Indoor and Outdoor and USA Outdoor titles. Her accomplishments also included winning the high jump at both the 1963 and 1967 Pan American Games where set the meet record at the 1963 competition. Between 1967 and 1969, Montgomery set the American indoor and outdoor record in the event a total of six times. She twice qualified for the Olympic Games (1964 and 1968) and in 1967 was ranked No. 2 in the world in the event. She is also a member of the Greater Cleveland Sports Hall of Fame.
Bob Larsen
Born: Jan 23, 1939
During the 15 seasons Bob Larsen served as coach of the UCLA Bruins men's track and field and cross country teams, he led 12 individuals to a total of 20 NCAA titles and won back-to-back NCAA Outdoor titles in 1987 and 1988. In a brilliant career that has spanned six decades, Larsen would coach 13 athletes to a total of 25 national championships. As UCLA's head coach, he held a 118-3-1 record in dual meets and was selected PAC-10 Coach of the Year nine times. He was selected the Team USA distance coach for the 2004 Olympic Games where he coached Meb Keflezghi to a silver medal in the marathon and later helped him to win the 2009 New York City Marathon. Three times in his career Larsen was selected NCAA track and field coach of the year ('87, '88, '95) and once in cross country ('80). Larsen is the subject of a documentary film to be released in the spring 2014 entitled, "City Slickers Can't Stay with Me: The Bob Larsen Story."

Judge Orders Prenda / AF Holdings To Show The Original 'Salt Marsh' Signature; This Ought To Be Good
from the we'll-be-waiting deptOn Friday, we wrote about how Prenda was in trouble in another case, this one in Northern California. Judge Edward Chen has wasted little time in issuing a ruling, with the key part being a demand that "AF Holdings" produce the original document supposedly signed by "Salt Marsh," the supposed owner of AF Holdings. If you haven't been following this case that closely, on one of the many (sometimes conflicting or confusing) documents filed by "AF Holdings" -- the shell company that many suspect is really Prenda lawyers in disguise, even though everyone claims they have no idea who owns it -- was "signed" by "Salt Marsh," claiming to be the owner.
My testimony was that I don't know what the exact name of the trust is. If the name of the trust is Salt Marsh, then Salt Marsh is the owner. If the name of the trust is not Salt Marsh, then --But there were a few problems with this, beyond the fact that almost no one believes this. First up, Salt Marsh is not a person, but the signature requires a statement that the person signing needs to have read an ADR certification handbook, and obviously a non-person can't read anything (let alone sign). But then there's the interesting aside about one Anthony Saltmarsh, who used to live with John Steele's sister. When questioned on this back during the deposition, Hansmeier tapdanced even more than normal.
Q. So returning to these corporate representatives. Have there been any other corporate representatives other than Alan Cooper, Mark Lutz for AF Holdings?Uh huh. As as part of this case, the defense attorneys noted that the document filed indicates an electronic acknowledgement of an actual signature. And they wanted to see the original.... which the judge has now granted:
A. I can think one of other corporate representative.
Q. And who is that?
A. And that would Anthony Saltmarsh.
Q. Where does Mr. Saltmarsh reside?
A. I don't know where Mr. Saltmarsh resides.
Q. Was Mr. Saltmarsh ever compensated for acting as a corporate representative for AF Holdings?
A. Not that I'm aware of.
Q. Exhibit 101 and 102. Those are both the ADRs that are signed by Salt Marsh. I believe you testified you thought that that might be of the name the trust that owns AF Holdings. Could that be a misspelling of Anthony Saltmarsh?
A. The only thing I can say about these documents is that if you wanted me to come prepared to testify about them, you may have included them as exhibits to the notice or supplement the notice with the documents. You're asking me is it possible that Salt Marsh as spelled on here is a misspelling of the name Anthony Saltmarsh?
Q. Perhaps an alias would be a better word for it.
A. Or an alias for Salt Marsh. I'm a bit skeptical of that theory because it says AF Holdings owner and Anthony Saltmarsh is not an owner of AF Holdings.
Finally, the Court addresses Mr. Navasca's request that it order AF to produce the original of an ADR certification that was e-filed by AF as Docket No. 8. The ADR certification that was e-filed does not contain any actual signature from an AF representative; rather, there is simply the following e-signature: "/s/ Salt Marsh, AF Holdings Owner." Docket No. 8 (ADR certification). As Mr. Navasca points out, under the Civil Local Rules, AF's counsel should have maintained a copy of the ADR certification containing the original signature as a part of its files. See Civ. L.R. 5-1(i)(3) (providing that, in the case of a Signatory who is not an ECF user, the actual filer of the document "shall maintain records . . . for subsequent production for the Court, if so ordered, or for inspection upon request by a party, until one year after the final resolution of the action (including appeal, if any)"). Because Mr. Navasca has asked the Court for relief encompassed by the Civil Local Rules, the Court grants the request. AF's counsel is hereby ordered to produce the original of the ADR certification, containing the original signature of "Salt Marsh" by April 29, 2013. If AF's current counsel does not have the original document, then it must contact former counsel to obtain the document. On April 29, AF's current counsel shall also file a declaration with the Court, stating whether it was able to provide a copy of the original document and, if not, why not.That ought to be rather interesting.
Separately, the court had some choice words about Paul Duffy's arguments last week trying to claim that the reason he dismissed the case was because of high bond requirements and the spoliation of evidence because of the use of CCleaner. The judge doesn't buy either reason at all. The spoliation argument is a dead end for many reasons, but mainly because there's no actual proof. The high bond requirement is similarly dismissed, because that bond can be required at any point, and the judge basically says "if you weren't willing to put up the bond, why did you file the lawsuit in the first place?"
The Court finds neither argument availingThe case is not over, but it's clear the judge is paying attention. He cites the case in southern California presided over by Judge Otis Wright, and seems extremely skeptical of the story being told by Prenda. For now, though, we wait eagerly for Prenda to produce the "original" Salt Marsh signature as ordered by the court.
As to spoliation, it is far from clear that there was any spoliation in the first instance. Notably, Judge Vadas instructed AF to "review the expert declaration that Navasca filed with his letter brief, to fully understand the purpose and effect of CCleaner." Docket No. 50 (Order at 2). However, there is no evidence to suggest that AF did that or any other investigation into whether CCleaner would in fact irrevocably destroy electronic files. Furthermore, as the Court noted at the hearing, even if CCleaner did irrevocably destroy electronic files, that might actually work in AF's favor; in other words, the stronger the evidence of improper spoliation, the better the chance AF stood of obtaining, e.g., an evidentiary sanction or adverse inference in its favor based on the spoliation.
Effectively conceding the weakness of its spoliation argument, AF focused at the hearing on the prohibitive cost of the undertaking. But the Court finds this position unconvincing for two reasons. First, AF ignores the fact that the Court stayed its undertaking ruling and expressly gave AF the opportunity to file a motion to reconsider. The Court even noted that AF could present evidence of its professed inability to pay. In spite of this, AF never took any action to move for reconsideration, opting instead for a voluntary dismissal. Cf. AF Holdings LLC v. Trinh, No. C-12- 2393 CRB (N.D. Cal.) (Docket No. 45) (Order at 2) (noting that a plaintiff can obtain relief from a bond requirement if unable to pay but that AF had offered no support for its contention that a bond is beyond its means). Second, to the extent AF suggests that it may be financially able to pay, but the bond is simply more than the value of the case, see Mot. at 2 (arguing that Plaintiff cannot "afford to tie up nearly $50,000 in capital simply in order to proceed with its claims against a single infringer"), it ignores the fact that a bond may be required in any given case in California (based on California specific law). As the plaintiff which initiated the action, AF knew at the outset that a bond might be required. A plaintiff cannot invoke the benefits of the judicial system without being prepared to satisfy its obligations as a litigant. Cf. AF Holdings LLC v. Magsumbol, No. 12-4221 SC, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 25572, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Feb. 25, 2013) (in case in which AF moved for a voluntary dismissal without prejudice before court was able to rule on defendant's motion to post an undertaking; denying AF's motion because tendered reasons for requesting dismissal were not compelling – "Plaintiff brought this case knowing the rules of this jurisdiction and the risks of litigation, and now he seeks dismissal of his case without prejudice so that he can bring it another day").

WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) — In his final news conference of the year, President Obama laid it out straight.
"Based on uniform intelligence assessments the Russians were responsible for hacking the DNC," Obama said.
Over the last few weeks, Capitol Hill weighed in as well.
"We do not let foreign powers trample on our basic institutions – like the election system – and let that go unchecked," said Sen. Ron Wyden/D-Oregon
But some Republicans say it's an over-reaction.
"The American voters are smart enough to make their decisions. You may dislike what they did depending on your political views. They called the shot they made the decision and the outcome is something we should embrace," said Rep. Greg Walden (R-Oregon)
In a tweet Thursday, Donald Trump accused the white house of only complaining about the hacking after Hillary Clinton lost.
But in fact in early October the intelligence community and the president did bring this up to congress asserting they were quote confident Russia was behind the DNC hacks.
Some political analysts say the president wasn't more outspoken about Russian hacking because he was confident Hillary Clinton would win. Others say he didn't want to appear too involved in the process.
"President's should be above elections and this would have been a very electrifying charge Had Obama made it two weeks before the election," Jeremy Mayer, as Associate Professor with The George Mason School of Law.
One months after the election, it's dominating headlines and will loom over Monday's vote by the electoral college.
"At a time when anything I or anyone in the white house said I wanted everybody to know we were playing this this thing straight," Obama said.
