This is a 4 part series on configuring WordPress in Azure on its own dedicated VM.
Part 1 – Deploy an Azure Ubuntu VM
Part 2 – Install LAMP on the VM
Part 3 – Install and configure WordPress
Part 4 – Fixing the "quirks"
Part 2 – Install LAMP on the VM
In Part 2 we will be looking at deploying your newly installed Ubuntu server as a LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) server
This will then enable you to install WordPress on to the server after.
So, first things first, connect to the server.
I use Putty to connect to SSH sessions. Open up Putty and then put in the public IP Address of the Ubuntu server
Click Yes to trusting the SSH host key
Login with the credentials you setup in Part 1
Install any updates on the server
First things install any updates:
Sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Install the services:
Once installed you are then ready to install LAMP on the Ubuntu Server by running the following commands:
Install Apache 2:
To install Apache2 run the following command and answer Y to any prompts:
sudo apt-get install apache2
Then install MySQL server by running the next command. Again answer any prompts you may be given:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
Enter in the password you want to set for the MySQL root account and then confirm it after.
Then once MySQL has been installed install the following modules:
sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mcrypt php-mysql
Lastly (I like to put this on for my own benefit) install PHPMyAdmin:
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
Confirm the password
That's in, your server is now setup.
You can test by browsing to the public IP Address in any web browser:

Deepen Teacher Inquiry Series - Part 13
Evidence analysis - while daunting at times - can reveal some incredibly unexpected trends. Especially when you collect qualitative evidence in the form of an interview or student's voice.
Last week while looking into qualitative data, the suggestion was made that inquiry evidence needs some kind of attention and "playful activity" to group and regroup the data in different ways and different configurations to gain new insights.
An element of depth can be added to this experience when it is done in collaboration with other colleagues. When I work with schools supporting teachers on their inquiry journey, the dialogue that comes out of sharing the evidence and collaborating on the findings is rich and deep. This dialogue is often what leads to elemental shifts in practice for teachers.
The inquiry is a beautiful framework in which to allow teachers to explore the impacts their practice is having on students learning. When the journey is partnered with others then the learning increases for everyone involved.
The inquiry is not intended to be a lonely activity. It is a powerful tool in which to facilitate collegial dialogue and gain learning opportunities for teachers and leaders.When we design learning activities and opportunities for our students we expect that they will collaborate and communicate with each other. It is just as important for teachers to collaborate and communicate when they are learning too. Be that as it may - inquiry when done well - will be some of the most powerful learning you will do as an educational professional.
Who are you sharing your inquiry findings with?
How can you help others grow in their profession and gain insights into the impacts they are having in students learning?
Fichtman Dana, N. (2013). Digging Deeper into Action Research. California: Corwin
Looking Ahead
If you are looking to give your Teacher Inquiry Practices an injection of fresh energy- to elevate teacher inquiry impacts to a whole new level - Give me a call to discuss how we can do just that.
I know it is only May. However, I am aware that there are only a finite number of days on which schools run their start of year Teacher Only Days. The earlier you book, the greater the chance you will get the date you require.

It's been a tough time for Everton's players out on loan, as they've struggled to find chances and the back of the net.
The Blues currently have five players out on loan. Brendan Galloway is at West Bromwich Albion, Luke Garbutt is at Wigan Athletic, Russell Griffiths is with Cheltenham Town, Aiden McGeady is at Preston North End and Shani Tarashaj is in Germany with Eintracht Frankfurt.
Conor Grant had been out on loan but had his loan spell at Ipswich Town cut short. He is expected to go out on loan again in January.
Of those five out on loan, only Galloway, Garbutt and McGeady have made their mark on the first team.
The talented Tarashaj has had some success with Frankfurt, finding the net once in four appearances. He is expected to be around Ronald Koeman's first team in some capacity next campaign but the forward missed this week's win over Werder Bremen through injury.
Brendan Galloway
Out on loan at West Bromwich Albion, it had been expected by many that Galloway would start to show more glimpses of his promise, especially in defence but it's tough for him under Tony Pulis. The promising defender has found his chances limited and when he's had a chance to play, he's been hit and miss.
At times, he's looked like one of the Baggies better players but his mistake against West Ham United where he gave away a penalty has seen him struggle to regain his starting spot. Galloway sat out the Baggies impressive 4-0 win against Burnley on Monday night.
There has been plenty of talk of him returning to Goodison Park in January if the Blues see fit to cancel the loan agreement. Galloway would be a welcome body in the Everton squad but would have other offers to go back out on loan if he wishes.
Luke Garbutt
Luke Garbutt made the short trip across to Wigan late in the summer transfer window for his loan spell. He is only scheduled to be there until the beginning of January, but could find his deal extended if the Latics need him.
This weekend, he was brought on as a first half substitute during their 0-0 draw with Barnsley at Oakwell.
Aiden McGeady
The Republic of Ireland international made his way to Preston on a season-long loan during the summer window. His contract expires next summer and McGeady could find himself on the chopping block at Goodison Park if Everton receive the right offer.
This weekend he returned from Ireland duty to play a full 90 minutes against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Deepdale.
Like Garbutt and Wigan, the game finished 0-0 as McGeady was unable to make a mark on the game.

"From the Article:"Last week, though, Human Rights Watch discovered that a revised version of the Shiite Personal Status Law had been quietly put into effect at the end of July — meaning that Shiite men in Afghanistan now have the legal right to starve their wives if their sexual demands are not met and that Shiite women must obtain permission from their husbands to even leave their houses, "except in extreme circumstances."
If you ask the Afghan males, the response is simple this is our law this is our culture......we are not under the UDHR and we are not violating it anyway. This is cultural relativism. It is also human rights abuse.

Strand Appears in Court, Sentenced to 90 Days
Parker Kulczyk
The Courier
In Valley County District Court on June 20, 2016, former Fort Peck Fine Arts Council Executive Director Mary Strand was sentenced on five felony counts of theft by embezzlement and money laundering. In attendance included many members of the council, as well as four witnesses of the prosecution.
Montana Probation and Parole Officer Pam Heikens was first of four witnesses called to the stand. State of Montana Prosecutor Dylan Jensen asked if she had reviewed the plea agreement that was signed by the defendant, which she had. She also explained other suggested conditions that she thought would be helpful to the defendant. Another notable part of this witnesses time on the stand was when the defense mentioned they had two cashier's checks on hand that day, one for the remaining restitution and one for the fines and surcharges.
The State's second witness was Patt Etchart, former president and longest tenured board member of FPFAC. Etchart read aloud a letter on behalf of the council, which described how the council suffered at her (Strand) hand and how personal reputations of members of the council were damaged as well. Towards the end of the letter, Etchart said the council believes 30 days in jail is too lenient. After she finished reading the letter, she was questioned by the State, the defense and District Judge John C. McKeon. During questioning, it was added that accounting has now been turned over to a professional firm, and that checks over $500 must be signed by two officers. Vernon Woodward, Strand's attorney, asked Etchart, "Has anyone told you this is all your fault?" Etchart replied that no one had personally confronted her, but the "rumor mill" in town accused her of attempting to cover up the crimes, mostly because of her close friendship with Strand.
The third witness was current FPFAC president Annette Vegge. Vegge was the one to file the affidavit, and was asked mostly about that document, along with further questions about the investigation by the FBI and CHMS.
The fourth and final witness called to testify was Valley County Sheriff Glen Meier. Along with his status as head of the department in charge of the investigation, Meier said that he and his wife are continued financial patrons as well as volunteers of the Fort Peck Theatre. Meier read a prepared statement to the court. He first thanked Strand for the improvements to the theatre. He then told the court that, along with help from the FBI, he estimated over 800 hours had been spent on this investigation. He continued, stating he believes not all of the funds stolen have been discovered. "Mary Strand is a criminal," Meier said bluntly before elaborating, "Unlike Jesse James... she did not use a gun... she used her friendships." He then asked the judge to give Strand a one-year sentence in the Valley County Detention Center. After his statement, Woodward asked Meier if he had pulled his support for the theatre, which Meier said he had not.
Closing statements from both parties followed. The State recommended the judge sentence Strand based on the plea agreement, except the total amount of restitution, instead using the correct amount listed in the affidavit. Strand's attorney then explained that the case puzzled him, and that he had no logical explanation for her actions. He argued that five years of probation was sufficient and that jail time was not needed. He further his argument how five years of probation is not easy, and how being a convicted felon had already punished her. An interesting quote from Woodward was, "She is working as a nanny, that is a punishment in itself."
Strand, when given the opportunity to make a statement to the court, She tearfully expressed regret and shame, and that she fell into a rabbit hole and couldn't find the way out. She remarked that she will never have friendships like the ones she lost and that she can never love something as much as she loved the theatre.
After some consideration, Judge McKeon then announced his sentence. For all five felony counts, all five years of prison were suspended, while she received fines totaling $5,800. In addition, She was sentenced to 90 days in Valley County Detention Center, where she will have to report to by July 18. Strand was also ordered to pay the remaining restitution balance in the amount of $17,820.34, and was required to sign up for probation immediately after sentencing. Once reported to Valley County Detention Center, she will be required to undergo a mental health assessment within the 10 first days, and begin a cognitive and behavioral program. Upon completion, Strand will be required to submit a letter of apology to the Courier addressing the community, along with a oral apology broadcast on local radio.
Strand will have an opportunity to reduce time served, with the opportunity to work up to eight hours of community service a day. Each eight hours served reduce her sentence by one day, maximum 30 days. All of the conditions that are to be met in the sentencing are to be at Strand's own expense.

Afraid to Make Waves
You two really want to get along this week -- which, contrary to logic, could actually make things a bit difficult between you. Neither one of you is feeling very strong at the moment; you're both privately feeling a bit insecure about the relationship, and that could make you be more conciliatory with each other than is strictly necessary. You might both agree to things that you're not really interested in or compromise (meaning, back down) on issues that you really should take a stand on.
But you just don't want to get into an argument, or have any unpleasantness between you at all. It's understandable; fights and tension are no fun. But neither is fixing messes later that you created yourself by allowing yourself to be walked all over. Now, neither one of you is going to take advantage of the other purposefully; you've both got the same aim now, which is to get along and have a smooth connection. But do try to remember that keeping the peace isn't always the most important goal, especially if something truly important comes up between you this week. It's important to communicate clearly and honestly, especially about the big things, even if you're afraid you'll upset your honey.

15 Aug What To Do and What To Avoid Of Interesting Site Design
When clients approach you to get their websites designed, you must have realized that have a very vague idea and hardly understand the ropes of internet constructing. They might inquire you for flashy logos and overdone gradients or perhaps any type of design and style elements which are not in tendency and are considered a "big no". Since a good designer it's your duty to clarify and show them the knack of getting better product sales with the right sort of designs.
DO: Continue to keep your web page styles and CSS files currently have provided websites a cool and structured layout which makes it convenient to create and re- design. Two of the very most popular grid designs are as well as the 1kb main grid.
DON'T: Simply use too many boxes and randomly place will need to have arrive across websites that have chaotic and jumble, huddle contents of their web pages. Around 20-30 occasional boxes that have been randomly piled upon a full page, not simply makes it problematic to comprehend but also a headache to re- style for a later stage of period. This can be definitely not expected right from a web designer.
PERFORM: Focus on can be important. It is critical to focus on the main desired goals or is designed behind creating the web site. Make sure that your house web page focusses about them. Whoever visits your site should have a clear idea of what it handles. Then generate evident novarh.fr and apparent call to action in the internal pages. Your website should not continue these potential customers considering and thinking about everything you want to say. The web page ought to be straightforward, easy to comprehend and really should concentrate on the desired goals.
DON'T: Sign up for irrelevant ads across the page. In case you are intending upon allowing advertisements on your own website/ blog, then take specialized focus on do it very carefully, put just relevant and real advertisements. First of all if your web page has more advertisements than articles after that persons wouldn't consider you or your organization significantly. One more thing to remember is that most tourists believe the ads will be companies that you will be recommending to them, which means you have to ensure that you allow just genuine advertising on your own web pages.
Perform: Choose the right color structure. Using the proper color layout is vital that you setting the disposition of the net site. Again keep in mind the goals and select colours to match them. Generally, a couple of contrasting shades along with black and a neutral color are the finest combination to follow while aiming your website.
TYPICALLY: Overdo that with a whole lot of colors. Utilizing a lot colours on your site is certainly not a good thought. The color you utilize should be pleasing and not a pressure on the eyesight. People dedicate a great deal of time on a website, so staring at loud colors for extended periods of time can be quite a tension. This would annoy site visitors and drive all of them aside.
DO: Create simple to scan webpages. People avoid stay on a full page for longer than 3 seconds. You need to encourage them to remain within these types of seconds through the use of proper content. Place important stuff so that a speedy glance might reveal it. You can use take quotes and block estimates and images certainly are a good choice because they are more quickly to comprehend than text. Utilize content chucking to fascination your visitors and maintain these people engrossed.
TYPICALLY: Write extended texts in one para with 1000+ terms. Content chucking is a must to make the long and boring text interesting. You can split all of them into little paras with relevant images or prices to give that a splash of colors making them easier to look at and read.
DO: Keep get in touch with forms short and basic. It's apparent that people hate filling lengthy and complicated forms especially if they contain a good deal of irrelevant data. Simply stick to Term, address, amount and email.
DON'T: Continue and on (and on ) about nothing. A very important factor that irritates or perhaps annoys site visitors is extreme rambling about practically nothing and over utilization of emoticons or other distracting factors.
DO: Concentrate on Good articles and copyrighting. Phrases help to make all of the difference. Learn to make use of catchy, nevertheless short and phrases because they work the best. Choose the best words to sign up buttons, web page headings, sat nav & most important call to action.
CAN NOT: Fill up your pages with keywords. Se's not only observe keywords they also keep count on key word density. So don't simply just fill up the pages with a whole load of keywords. You will be punished to wrong density and it could get your rating straight down.
DO: Use proper navigation on your internet pages. Navigation plays a major role in delivering a good interface as well as an individual encounter. Employ correct color codes and texts to aid your navigation. It must be user-friendly, simple and simple to employ.
DON'T: Produce visitors search for things. Everything on your site should be easy to spot and make use of, site visitors should not be pressured to spend a lot more than 30-40 a few moments to find factors. And most notably always keep a search package with autofill as this is actually the least complicated tool to find nearly anything.
DO: Enhance Download time. Again I'd say you have to focus on the user and ensure that everything is certainly open to him easily and fast. Users are usually impatient, so the moment creating a website
make sure that the look is definitely acuto, nimble and concise giving this a speedy down load time.
AVOID: make textual content into image. Don't help to make text prevents of your site into DIGITAL pictures. Find the pictures on your own pages optimized and make sure the background isn't bulky leading to slow downloading.
DO: use the proper typography and designs vary and you must take advantage of the proper ones to match the ambience of your site. Web site should be simple to go through and understand. Generally use one particular main font for content material and an additional for brands. Make use of size to clearly define a hierarchy to provide a lot more effective display for your website.
DON'T: Make use of way too many font designs in various sizes. This might make a mess of your page and completely confuse your visitor as it would be tough to make various classifications and hierarchies in mind.
DO: Choose a web page Desirable and is actually extremely necessary to design appealing and appealing websites because they ought to be catchy and obtain the interest of internet browsers to maintain them in your website as well as attract more visitors.
NO LONGER: Just although together a lot of things and believe you'll succeed. Only specialist and neat websites prosper, there's absolutely no place for animated GIF or marquee moving or any of those out of date items that help to make your website messy and unorganized.

As a special preview of the LA Baby Show, coming up on the weekend of November 5-6, we have interviewed or profiled many of the Show's vendors and participants. You can read all about them on this Show blog, but of course the real fun is experiencing the Baby Show in person.
Tickets to the Baby Show are $30 per family, and $20 per individual, and can be purchased here.
We are excited to introduce La La Ling as a programming and parenting partner for the LA Baby Show! They are a leading family boutique in Los Angeles.
Your child deserves to have the best, and that includes clothes and toys. Thanks to La La Ling, you, your friends and your family can get the best toys, books and clothes for the little ones in your life.
To learn more, we spoke with La La Ling's co-owner, Celine Vacher.
For someone unfamiliar with La La Ling, how would you describe the company's mission and core offerings?
La La Ling is a baby and kids' lifestyle boutique where you'll find the latest kiddie fashion, the coolest gifts and a fun community of families. We offer a collection of the most inspiring, modern and design-conscious options in fashion and toys for newborns to age 10.
What is the background of La La Ling? When did it start, and how has it evolved since then?
La La Ling was opened in Los Angeles' trendy Los Feliz neighborhood in July of 2004. Founder Ling Chan realized that L.A. needed something fresh/different on the baby retail scene, thus began the adventure of creating La La Ling. A busy mom of three, she's proud of the imprint La La Ling has made in the L.A. retail scene! As managers of La La Ling for five years, no two people showed more passion for fashion than Celine & Kara, so when the opportunity presented itself, they jumped at the chance to take over the operations of La La Ling as the new owners in April of 2012! They bring a fresh perspective on keeping the inherent uniqueness of La La Ling alive while nurturing and growing the store. Now these retail goddesses are excited about the store's expansion of its infant/nursery section and its size range up to age 10 for La La Ling's growing clientele!
What are the most popular and/or newest products from La La Ling?
In April 2015, La La Ling introduced their first original designs which have since become their best sellers. From tees, to onesies, to bibs, the La La Ling brand continues to grow.
What sets La La Ling apart from other baby clothing companies?
Located in the bustling neighborhood of Los Feliz, we offer an interactive experience with a vibrant motif, large scale 3-D artwork and an awesome chalkboard wall for kids to draw on! Through the inventory we curate, and the vibrant interactive nature of the store, we are committed to providing a space that encourages creativity and self-expression for local children and their families.
What would you want La La Ling's audience to learn or see at the LA Baby Show?
I think our customers attending the LA Baby show will be interested in finding new creative gift ideas. Considering the majority of our customers are purchasing gifts for others, I think what they'd be most interested in is discovering new original products. Our clientele is always looking for items that are unique and often times funny and unusual… the goal when shopping at La La Ling is to find a gift that will wow the crowds at the birthday party or baby shower with something you can't find everywhere else.

Over the next four months, Barbados' premier dive site, the SS Stavronikita, will become a hive of activity as it is transformed into an underwater art exhibition by Austrian photographer, Andreas Franke.
The Stav, as it is familiarly known, was chosen by Franke after he visited the site recently and was so impressed that he took the decision to make it the location for his next show, from December 27 to April 2013.
BHTA's executive vice-president, Sue Springer, explained that this is big news for the island: "This is only the second time that this has been done.
Last year Franke, a well-known Viennese artist, created the world's first underwater transformative art exhibit on an artificial reef on the USS Vandenberg in Key West, Florida, and now he has chosen Barbados.
"This will definitely enhance our dive product and will be an added attraction, especially for the diving community. It will also be something new and exciting for Barbadians to experience as well," Springer said.
She added that the photographs will be mounted with magnets and fastened onto the ship with great care taken to ensure that the ecological balance of marine life is not disturbed or that the outer skin of the ship is not damaged.
For the exhibition, Franke, who is famous for his meticulously construed photographic displays, has created surprisingly bizarre and equally bewitching images by combining photographs of the wreck with sceneries produced in a studio.
From three young ladies court gossiping during a lavish picnic, to a woman in a blue dress obliviously indulging in a piece of cake surrounded by an extravagant amount of over elaborate pastries and confectionary, the pieces present one of the most flashing and flamboyant eras of European style and cultural history.
The SS Stavronikita is a Greek freighter which was purchased by Barbados in the late 1970's to be used as dive site after it was overwhelmed by fire bringing cargo to Barbados.

One to One Resilience Training
A certain amount of stress can be good for you. It can help you remain focused and, in some cases, it can encourage you to perform better.

Christmas has passed, and that means our chances for spiked egg nog — perhaps the worst-named drink ... ever — are dwindling. While everyone else is moving on to Champagne to celebrate the end of a pretty crappy year, Abacus is giving you the chance to enjoy some nog, but with a twist.
Abacus bartender Jason Long whipped up this flip-style cocktail with a healthy (or unhealthy, as it were) helping of Tequila Avión Reposado. It's available through New Year's Eve. The aged tequila gives the nog a bit of complexity to cut through the heavy, rich texture, and the cinnamon syrup and allspice dram give the drinker a nostalgic feeling of that glass of (virgin) egg nog back in the day.
All in all, it's a nice little holiday reminder that'll help you forget.
2 oz Tequila Avión Reposado
3/4 oz cinnamon simple syrup
1/4 oz allspice dram
3/4 oz heavy whipping cream
1 whole egg
Combine all ingredients in shaker and dry shake heavily to emulsify. Add ice to shaker and shake to chill. Double strain into coupe glass and garnish with freshly grated cinnamon.

I'm still getting to know the Olympus 40-150mm f2.8 and found some cooperative Chipmunks to help out. The lens focused very fast on these little critters even in tough contrasty light, and heavy shadow.
For this shot below, I tried the 5 axis image stabilization on the OMD EM1, dropping the shutter to 1/40th of a second. This proved to work very well, but keep in mind, I would not do this had the chipmunk been moving.
I do find myself at the end of the focal range often (150mm) and can definitely see how the 1.4 extender would be useful. I'm very pleased with the performance thus far however.
I also found this terrific rusty bike over by the beach and made a closeup to show the texture. This lens would have let me get even closer if so desired with pretty great macro capability.
Just before heading home these dramatic beams of light streamed down from the sky.

SEOUL, Aug. 24, 2016 — LG Electronics (LG) will unveil its latest air solutions including residential air conditioners (RAC) and air purifier for the first time in Europe at IFA 2016. From the efficient DUALCOOL to the high performance air purifier, LG will be introducing optimal home solutions for all European customers who value both efficiency and performance.
Faster Cooling and Outstanding Energy Efficiency with DUALCOOL
LG's DUALCOOL is the first air conditioner to utilize LG's energy-efficient Dual Inverter Compressor™ for energy savings without sacrificing cooling performance. Verified by the world-renowned testing organization TÜV Rheinland, the Dual Inverter Compressor allows LG DUALCOOL to consume up to 70 percent less electricity while providing up to 40 percent faster cooling than typical non-inverter RACs.1 LG's advanced compressor technology also enables DUALCOOL to operate at exceptionally low noise levels, ideal for apartments. The reliable Dual Inverter Compressor is backed up by a 10-year warranty, one of the best in the industry. And DUALCOOL expertly balances form and function with its slim and clean design that blends in perfectly with any interior décor increasing installation flexibility.
Creating a Healthy, Clean Home Environment
LG's Air Purifier has a unique 360 degree design as well as Clean Booster capabilities that combine to create a healthy, comfortable indoor environment by removing invisible pollutants from the air. Its Clean Booster feature allows the purifier to eliminate pollutants faster over a wider area than conventional models. The Air Purifier's ergonomic and omni-directional design reduces the amount of time required to clean an entire room. What's more, the Baby Care feature generates a gentle airflow to create the ideal atmosphere for infants and toddlers.
The user-friendly Smart Indicator and Smart Lighting features enable users to monitor air conditions inside the home in real-time. Smart Indicator provides accurate air quality readings on a crystal-clear display, enabling users to easily monitor changes in air quality over time. Smart Lighting uses four differently colored lights to monitor air quality, allowing owners to check the air quality at a glance. The Air Purifier utilizes an advanced sensor to detect fine particles of less than 1.0 micrometer in diameter.
"Our stylish new air solution products are more efficient, perform better and are more family friendly than anything we've introduced before at IFA," said Jo Seong-jin, president of LG Electronics and Home Appliances & Air Solution Company. "European consumers set the standard when it comes to energy efficiency and performance so IFA has become a bellwether for us in introducing advanced new appliances."
Visitors to the LG's booth in Hall 18 of Messe Berlin during IFA 2016 will have a chance to experience the new products first-hand.

1 Based on LG Electronics internal test methods, air conditioner models (US-W242K series) with Dual Inverter Compressors were tested next to air conditioner model TS-H2465DA0 with constant-speed compressor.

I got to see a copy of this documentary last month, and it is pretty amazing. If you are in DC in December, I highly recommend this film. It makes you glad you live in a more advanced community that does not disrespect its poor population compared to Cleveland. The film is like a documentary version of Brazil or Naked Lunch where the City of Indianapolis puts unreasonable and unbelievable restrictions on these encampments. "Go to shelter, but there are not enough shelter beds and you can only stay for a week." We do not have the level of outdoor homeless population as they have in Indy and we certainly don't have these large scale tent cities. This is a nice portrait of what happens if you follow the HUD plan to close transitional shelters, focus on very specific populations and de-fund all the supportive services in a community. Check it out.

PALO ALTO, Calif. (CBS.MW) -- On the same day as a high-profile spinoff debuted on Wall Street, shares of Hewlett-Packard shot ahead 16 percent Thursday after the computer-hardware maker reported a higher-than-expected profit and a 10 percent increase in revenue.
H-P, a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.17%, jumped 13 5/16 to 94 5/16 after closing at 77 7/16 Wednesday. The stock hwp had fallen 20 percent from its 52-week high of 118 7/16, set July 19, the same day H-P named Carleton "Carly" Fiorina as its new chief executive officer.
Additionally, the company's measurement spinoff, Agilent Technologies A, +0.39%, opened at 45 1/2, more than 50 percent above its $30 price. The shares lost 5/8 to 44 7/8, with 44.7 million shares changing hands, after hitting a high of 50 earlier in the day. See IPO Report.
Following H-P's earnings release, PaineWebber upgraded its outlook on the company to an "attractive" rating from a"neutral." The brokerage firm said it's confident of H-P management's ability to execute even during transitions.
Additionally, Goldman Sachs added H-P to its U.S. "recommended list," with a price target of $105 a share, citing the company's improving outlook. Analyst Laura Conigliaro wrote in a research note that H-P's printer business and its enterprise systems are showing signs of strength, which could help "provide the necessary catalyst for the stock."
The world's No. 2 computer company said its fiscal-fourth-quarter earnings from continuing operations totaled $760 million, or 75 cents a share, before expenses related to the spinoff of its Agilent Technologies business. That compares with a profit of $710 million, or 72 cents a share, excluding charges andAgilent operations. (Agilent shares began trading in a Thursday initial public offering. The stock rose impressively above its offering price. )
H-P was expected to earn 73 cents a share, according to a First Call survey of analysts.
In a statement issued after the market closed Wednesday, Chief Executive Fiorina said the company has some "long-standing issues" it needs to address and plans to take "decisive action" to correct them.
"We don't expect an overnight fix, but we're comfortable we can make substantial progress this year," she said in a statement. "I'm challenging H-P people to achieve top- and bottom-line growth in the range of 12 percent to 15 percent, with momentum building through the year."
Revenue from continuing operations rose to $11.4 billion from $10.3 billion in the year-earlier period. Asia-Pacific sales saw the most dramatic growth, the company said.
"Overall, I'd say that we really tested the organization to see if it would respond, and it did," Fiorina said during the company's conference call. "The business-performance issues are not new, and they'll take some time to address."
She added that what is new is the amount of management attention the company's "issues" are receiving.
Results are in
'We have been ignoring the power of our size and our heritage, but that will change.' Carly Fiorina CEO, H-P
Personal-computer sales growth was good but would have been better, Fiorina said on the call Wednesday, if it weren't for the Taiwanese earthquake in late September, which caused a disruption in component production.
Chief Financial Officer Bob Wayman said that the direct sales capabilities H-P has in place now bode well for the future profitable growth of its PC business.
Server sales were mixed, with high-end Unix servers showing positive revenue growth and other server lines, including NT, finishing flat. Order numbers were up, though, the company said. Fiorina said the company is focused on bringing about the recovery of its Unix business.
"The fact of the matter is that Sun Microsystems SUNW, +31.56% is ruling the roost in servers in the market," said Shebly Seyrafi, an analyst at A.G. Edwards & Sons.
H-P said its imaging and printing revenue was "exceptional" on a year-over-year basis, with sales of its laser and inkjet systems contributing. The inkjet printer unit's sales grew to 37 percent. The company's revenue in United States grew by 9 percent to $5.3 billion from the year-ago quarter, with sales outside the United States increasing 12 percent to $6.1 billion.
Revenue was $3.9 billion in Europe, up 5 percent, while Latin America sales moved up 18 percent to $600 million. Asia-Pacific sales gained 41 percent from the year-ago period.
The company has combined its storage groups, and its revenue was down in that area as a result of the transition, it said.
Open-door policy
Fiorina said during the company's post-earnings-report conference call that H-P intends to be as open as possible and produce consistent, predictable future results. She admitted there are marketplace uncertainties associated with Y2K that are expected to play out during the ongoing first fiscal quarter. The CEO then cautioned analysts to be conservative with first-quarter estimates.
More optimistically, though, Fiorina made this promise: "We have been ignoring the power of our size and our heritage, but that will change."
Wayman said H-P continues to consolidate operations and is moving toward office sharing where possible as well as seeking savings in other real-estate-related areas.
H-P is slated to hold an analyst meeting Nov. 30 in Santa Clara, Calif.
Advising the Street
H-P had said in early October that the company had a "decent shot" athitting analysts' numbers. At the time, H-P admitted that the Sept. 21 quake in Taiwan, coupled with sales problems in its high-end Unix computers, had taken a toll on profits. Company officials warned that revenue growth would come in at the low end of a 10 to 13 percent range. In late October, the company reiterated its concerns.
In the third quarter, H-P earned $913 million, or 85 cents a share, excluding charges and including results from Agilent, with sales of $12.2 billion. Minus Agilent, the company earned 66 cents a share in that quarter.
The fourth-quarter announcement also marks the first full quarter of results since Fiorina took over the helm from H-P veteran Lewis Platt. The new CEO stepped up to the plate in mid-July.
Platt, who is also turning in his chairman's seat on the H-P board, will switch gears dramatically, it was learned this week, becoming chief executive officer at the privately held Kendall-Jackson Wine Estates. See full story.
Dream team
During the fourth quarter, H-P announced its plan for Internet services and unveiled a computing utility services division.
The company is now offering software access over the Internet and, with the help of Microsoft MSFT, +0.64%, Cisco Systems CSCO, -1.05% and others, can provide e-mail, extra computing power and data storage over a network.
Agilent IPO
In late July, H-P announced the name of its measurement spinoff, Agilent Technologies, thus separating H-P into two fully independent companies. Agilent, which was thus set on course for its initial public stock offering, is a provider of test and measurement equipment as well as semiconductor and optical components.
The price of the IPO was set at $30 per share Wednesday. The expected pricing range had been lifted to $26 to $28 a share from an earlier range of $19 to $22. Agilent and its underwriters also increased the number of shares in the deal to 65 million from 57 million. See archived IPO Report.
Investors will have questions about Agilent's prospects, said A.G. Edwards' Seyrafi. "Is this going to be an interesting IPO? What's the upside potential there? Because ... if the stock price goes much above $25, that'll be an upside surprise to H-P investors and H-P shareholders will benefit."
The company, which employs 42,000 employees and has products available in more than 120 countries, made a profit of $257 million on $8 billion in revenue last year.
Agilent Technologies said its net income for the quarter ended Oct. 31 was $146 million, vs. a net loss of $51 million for the same quarter in 1998. Revenue in the period ended in October was $2.4 billion, a jump of 23 percent from the year-earlier quarter.
Michael Fournell, Agilent's public-relations manager, said approximately 87 percent of Agilent shares will be owned after the IPO by Hewlett-Packard. "Hewlett-Packard has the intention of distributing those shares that they own to their stockholders, and that will be sometime mid-2000," he said.
By that time, Fournell added, Agilent will have full independence from H-P. The company, based in Palo Alto, Calif., is building a separate facility that's expected to be complete in April or May.
In communications tests, Agilent's primary competitors are Marconi Communications, Network Associates neta, Rhode & Schwartz, Tektronix TEK, +1.89% and Wandel & Goltermann Technologies.
In the semiconductor test market, Agilent rivals include Advantest, Schlumberger " and chip-equipment maker Teradyne TER, +2.62%.
Agilent sells products to AT&T T, -1.13%, chip titan Intel INTC, -0.56%, Cisco Systems, Lucent Technologies lu and others.

Similar to people, cats have to eat healthy foods with nutrients. In the absence of such a dietary plan, cats will become malnourished or overweight. This article will provide you with great diet advice for your cat.
Check out your local shelter if you are thinking about getting a cat. There are so many great cats at shelters. The fee you will have to pay typically includes vet care. A cat gets a new chance at life and the cat population stays in check with adoption.
Cats are curious by nature, which can end up getting them into trouble. If they have a collar on, this can be dangerous. The advantage to a breakaway type collar is that if enough pressure is put on it, it will just let go rather than strangle the cat. This could save your cat's life if the collar gets caught in some branches.
If your cat is a female, it needs to be spayed when it reaches the appropriate age. This is true even if you think your cat is indoors only. One escape can lead to a lot of small kittens around! The best method of stopping this is to have your cat spayed.
Ensure that your cat goes to the vet often so that they are healthy. They need a check-up and possibly vaccinations. If you notice that your cat appears to be experiencing some sort of illness or injury, do not delay a trip to the vet.
Don't use dog portions for your cat. This can irritate your cat or cause an allergic reaction. This particularly applies to flea products. These products can be fatal for your cat. In fact, your cat should be kept away from your dog for several hours after the dog has been treated for fleas.
Your house can really get torn apart by a cat's claws. You need to get a scratching post or a cat tower to prevent your cat from ruining your furniture. Redirect your cat to the scratching post when they start to go after your furniture. Catnip can be put in the posts or on the tower to help train the cat to use it. Although this may take time, your cat should eventually claw the device rather than your furniture.
What your cat eats will determine how healthy he is. Your cat will live longer and be in better shape when you feed the right foods and avoid overfeeding. Do the right thing for your cat and give them the foods they need to live.

Being a positive person isn't always easy. In fact, it takes a lot of practice. Contrary to what some people believe, positivity isn't about seeing everything through rose colored glasses or ignoring negative feelings. Sometimes our days truly stink and it's important to stop and feel those emotions. Equally important, but sometimes missing from our emotional toolbox, is what we decide to do afterwards.
Taking small steps to experience more good feelings is a great approach to strengthening our positivity muscle:
1) Start with making a list of the things that make you feel good about yourself, happy, alive, and/or puts a smile on your face. Brainstorm and keep adding to the list until you run out of ideas. There are no bad ideas!
2) Go through that list and circle the activities/states of being/etc. that deeply resonate with you.
3) Chose one of those items (let's say it's playing with your dog at the park) and make a commitment to choose one day this week where you'll practice this activity. Set an intention and increase your liklihood of doing it by writing down the day of the week, the approximate time, and for how long you will engage in this activity.
4) Notice you how feel during and after the activity.
5) Build up to practicing this activity as many times per week/day that you'd like. Once a certain level feels comfortable, increase the number.
6) Choose another item from your list and repeat the process.
By increasing these feel good activities, you'll build up your positivity muscle.
Here are some of the items on my list that get me out of my negative thinking and feeling patterns and into a positive state:
- spending time with positive family and friends
- dancing, especially in a class format because I get to see other people smiling and feeling good
- watching an inspirational TedTalk, video, or movie
- reading an inspirational book, poem, article or online posts
- creating a mantra that focuses on the positive aspects of my life
- reciting that or another mantra for as long as it takes for my mood to shift
- exercising, especially outdoors because I get to experience nature (another positive boosting activity)
- journaling about all the good things that I have going for me (nothing is too small and should never be taken for granted)
- practicing Loving Kindness Meditation where I offer kindess, love, and happiness to myself, people I know and love, strangers, and finally people who I may not have the easiest time with. Not only is this type of meditation excellent for improving health conditions, studies also show it helps to rewire the brain to feel positive emotions more often.
Positivity is a state of mind. It takes practice for our brains to not only learn, but sustain a new way of thinking. If we grew up with a lot of negative emotions, it's natural that when we are stressed we default to negative thinking patterns that trigger the bad feelings. They are uncomfortable, but familiar and sometimes familiar is easier to deal with. It's really a human instinct to be on the lookout for the negative and searching for danger. So naturally, it will take time and practice to learn a new way of being. Starting small is key. For the last ten years, I've been on a quest to decrease the bad feelings and increase the good ones. It's really a never ending journey because there's no shortage of experiences and events that can bring us down on any given day. By simply practicing the items on your list on a routine basis, positivity starts to become your reality.
Need a good reason to start today? Something later on today or tomorrow is bound to come up that triggers a negative feeling. When you increase your positive emotions, you'll be better equipped to take on whatever that event is and you'll be able to bounce back from it faster. So practice every day to make positivity a reality for you!
And if you liked this post, please share with your friends and family and spread the positivity cheer! (Facebook and LinkedIn share button coming soon!)
Until next time,

Welcome to Plitvice Lakes National Park, Plitvicka Jezera, Croatia.
Whoever said beauty is only skin deep has obviously never been here.
Some 100 kilometres inland of Croatia's well-trodden islands and coastline, Plitvice Lakes National Park, which sits in the mountainous woodland interior, is a World Heritage-listed wonder that is not a usual stop on the Grand Tour.
Walk along wooden pathways that take you through lush greenery and alongside emerald and turquoise lakes and cascading waterfalls, or hike through the dense forests in the hopes of spotting bears and wolves.
In winter, the park transforms into a snowy haven that contrasts exquisitely against the piercing waters. No matter the time of year, getting lost in this vibrant colour palette is an experience to add to the itinerary.

Leading to the founding of Emecole in 1987, Lou Cole sought to develop a more affordable means for repairing cracks in poured foundation walls. With the development of his "Jake" dual cartridge dispensing gun, Lou formulated his own two-component epoxies and polyurethanes that would inject into cracks at low pressure via the use of the "Jake."
By 1993, while low pressure injection was becoming adopted by more concrete and waterproofing contractors, Cole still wasn't fully satisfied. "My thought at the time was how to simplify the purchasing process for anyone new to low pressure concrete crack repair. That's when I thought about packaging everything together and marketing a complete starter kit that would include all the components one would need to permanently repair cracks in poured foundations."
By the 2000's, with the Internet mainstream and consumers in the habit of using search engines, our Concrete Crack Repair Kits began to generate new traffic to the Emecole website, and quickly became one of our best selling items.
Today, Emecole manufacturers a variety of kits for the most common residential crack repairs -- poured basement wall cracks, concrete floors and slab cracks, filling control joints, blacktop repair and pool repair.

National Geographic : 1918 Jan
THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE stronger the machine is than is necessary for plain flying. The Spad is made so that a man can't burst it, no matter what he does in the air-dive as far and as fast as he can and stop as brutally as he can, it stands the racket. Of course, motors do stop, and if it happens over a mountain range-well, that's just hard luck. Have had a few patrols since last I wrote; one at a big height, 4,000 to 4,500 meters, considerably above the clouds, which almost shut out the ground below, a wonderfully beautiful sight, but beastly cold, and a couple when the clouds were low and solid. The patrol stays at just the height of the clouds, hiding in them and slipping out again to look around. If it stays below, the enemy anti-air craft guns pepper it, whenever near the lines and at a low altitude, that is rather awkward; so the patrol shows itself as little as possible. It's lots of sport to try to keep with the patrol; be behind the chief of patrol, see him disappear and then bump into a fog bank, a low-hanging cloud, and not see a darn thing; then dive down out of the cloud, wondering whether the other guy is right underneath or not; shoot out of the cloud and see him, maybe 500 yards away, going at right angles; then bank up and turn around fast and give her the gear full speed to catch up, and so on; see a Boche regulating artillery fire, start to maneuver into range, and zip! he's out of sight in the clouds, and the next you see he is beating it far back of his lines. Not very dangerous this weather, but lots of fun. Chalons sur Marne, December 8, 1917. Yesterday we were awakened at 6 and told that we were going to move out, bag and baggage, at 2. So, as new barracks were not ready, we came down here last night and have been seeing the sights of the town since. It is full of Americans, ambulances, doctors, Y. M. C. A. work ers, everything but fighting men, which I trust we'll see before long. THE LAST FLIGHT On December 12, while on patrol, B. Stuart Walcott met a German biplane carrying two men. Three cable reports agree that he shot down and destroyed this machine about two and a half miles within the German lines. He then started back for the French lines and was over taken by three Albatross German planes. He was overcome and his machine went down in a nose dive within the German lines, it being assumed that either he was shot or his machine disabled. There was still a hope that he might have escaped death. Inquiries were at once instituted through the American Red Cross and the International Red Cross; with the result that on January 7 a cable came from the International Red Cross stating that it was reported in Germany that S. Walcott was brought down dur ing the afternoon of December 12 near Saint Souplet, and that he was killed by the fall. On January 11 the French Government awarded the Croix de Guerre to the fallen flyer, with the accompanying citation: "Corporal Walcott, an American, who volunteered for the duration of the war, and a young pilot of admirable spirit and courage, on December 12, 1917, at tacked an enemy airplane. He pursued it four kilometers behind the German lines, where he brought it down. He was in turn attacked by three other monoplanes and was driven down." The medal was received on his behalf by members of his squadron and has been forwarded to his father, Dr. Charles D. Walcott, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington. 106

Watch our special event videos: the Bechtel Lectures, Mennonite Literature series, the Eby Lecture, and the Sawatsky Lecture.
We can find ourselves in new territory where much is unknown as we face challenges and difficulties in illness, in the aging process, and in dying. In the same way the grit inside an oyster transforms into a pearl, we wonder if our fear and frustration can be transformed into something just as beautiful in us.
You are invited to a time of learning, reflection, and self-care.
We will be led by a collaborative, experienced group of spiritual companions of various faith traditions who work in long-term care, hospice, and the community: Teresa Bryant, Miriam Frey, Dale Guenter, Jane Kuepfer, Celia McBride, and Maureen McDonnell.
The context of the gathering will allow time for contemplation, relaxation, and community connections. Join us as we consider and experience together the role of spirituality in finding courage and resilience in our work, in our homes, and within ourselves. Come for one day, two days, or make it a retreat and stay overnight at Grebel.
June 13 and 14, 2019, 10 AM–4:30PM
Cost: $155 for both days (includes lunches), overnight cost extra;
or $85 for just one day (includes lunch)

Learn more about the team leading the retreat.
Teresa Bryant O.A.B., R.P,. is an ordained priest in the Order of Amida Buddha and a registered psychotherapist living in London, Ontario. She holds graduate degrees in Religion and Culture, and Counselling, and certifications in Spiritual Direction, Morita Therapy, Adult Education and Contemplative End-of- Life Care. Teresa specializes in grief counselling and teaches courses in the areas of aging, grief and bereavement, and end-of-life care in both university and community settings. She is currently the Director of Supportive Care at St. Joseph's Hospice, London, ON.
Dale Guenter is a family physician with a special interest in chronic illness, planning for end of life, and palliative care. He teaches, does research, and administers programs in these areas at McMaster University. He has trained, practiced and mentored in the art of spiritual accompaniment through the model of the Pacific Jubilee program, and seeks to teach and practice medicine with a sensitivity to the stirrings of the soul.
Celia McBride is a multi-disciplinary artist who is committed to contemplative living and Unitive Consciousness. She completed the Pacific Jubilee SoulGuiding program in 2013 and the Pacific Jubilee SoulMentoring program in 2015. Celia provides one-to-one accompaniment, develops and leads healing retreats and provides spiritual care to residents in long-term care. Celia considers spiritual direction to be soul-healing work, where the fullness of our humanity may be seen, touched and nurtured with growing compassion: "Receiving and providing spiritual direction has enabled me to radically accept my human self, which has united me more and more to my Higher Self." Celia uses the word 'interspiritual' to describe her own salad-bar spirituality, which draws from numerous traditions, faiths and practices. "First and foremost, I participate in my own healing," she says. "This is truly what enables me to help others."
Maureen McDonnell, D.Min. facilitates the Ministry for Maturing Adults program, at St. Bonaventure's parish community, in Toronto. The spirit of the program is that we are summoned to fulfil our potential for spiritual growth and integration as persons in a deeper way during the second half of our lives. Maureen enjoys leading retreats in spirituality and aging, offering workshops and accompanying spiritual seekers in their life journey. Formerly she taught at Regis College, Toronto School of Theology with a focus on pastoral ministry. She also was the Director of the Spiritual Direction Program for the formation of spiritual directors and supervisors. She seeks to assist persons in awakening to the beauty of the human journey within the cosmic unfolding of the universe so that we all might act with truth, peace, justice and compassion in the ordinariness of our daily lives.
Miriam Frey, D. Min was formed spiritually in a Mennonite church and began her career in business and finance. She has expanded her spiritual and cultural awareness through mystical experiences at a young age, a three-year service assignment in east Africa, as well as discovering her love of learning. With substantial experience in Jungian dream work and training in the Enneagram, Miriam enjoys companioning spiritual seekers as they discover the complexity of the human soul and find ultimate meaning for their lives.
With a Doctorate in Spiritual Ministry and a certificate from both the Toronto (Ontario) Jubilee program and Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary (all completed between 1999 and 2003), Miriam brings wisdom and skill to her role as coordinator of the Ontario Jubilee program in Spiritual Direction. She further demonstrates her contemplative leadership as the Canadian Coordinator for Spiritual Directors International, a global learning community committed to peace and justice through the contemplative action of spiritual companionship.
Jane Kuepfer is the Schlegel Specialist in Spirituality and Aging, a joint appointment by the Schlegel-UW Research Institute for Aging and Conrad Grebel University College. She has extensive experience as a spiritual caregiver in long-term care homes and in the community, as a registered psychotherapist, a spiritual director, and an ordained Minister in the Mennonite Church and the United Church of Canada. Jane completed a doctorate in Human Relationships (Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy) at Martin Luther University College with a dissertation focus in the area of Spirituality and Aging. As part of her role, Jane coordinates an annual Spirituality and Aging Seminar, conducts research, and teaches graduate courses in Spirituality and Aging. She enjoys the outdoors in all seasons, colourful quilts, fiddle music, riding tandem bicycle with her husband, and paying attention to people of all ages and stages of life, including their own young-adult children.
Spirituality and Aging is a program area of the Research Institute for Aging. Its two-fold purpose is to promote and disseminate research in the field of spirituality and aging that will enhance the well-being of older adults; and to be a resource to students, community clergy, chaplains, and caregivers through university classes, public lectures, and workshops.

Bill Randall, MDiv, EdD, is Professor of Gerontology at St. Thomas University. Prior to entering academic life, he was a minister with the United Church of Canada, serving pastorates in Saskatchewan, Ontario, and New Brunswick. A graduate of Harvard, Princeton Seminary, and the University of Toronto, he is author or co-author of over 60 scholarly publications on topics related to "narrative gerontology", with a special interest in the importance of "narrative care" with older adults.

Public lecture: "Aging as a Natural Monastery: Spirituality in Later Life"
Date: Thursday, November,15, 2018
Overview: Join Bill Randall in considering the many respects in which aging is an inherently spiritual process- not religious necessarily, but spiritual (broadly defined). Despite prevailing perceptions of aging as a matter of inevitable decline, the challenges and changes that come with it can be experienced as nature's way of nudging us into the adventure of truly growing old (vs. just getting old)- growing in insight, understanding, and compassion.

Public lecture: "Spirituality, Aging, and Narrative: The Sacred Art of Story-Telling"
Date: Friday, November 16, 2018
Overview: When someone says, "That's the story of my life," what do you understand them to mean? Is their story one of liberation or loss? Is it a tragedy, a comedy, a romance, an adventure? Is it rooted in a larger story, of a people, a community, a family, a faith? In the morning session, we will explore the intersections between spirituality and narrative, and between narrative and aging, focusing on both the unique developmental tasks of later life, and the challenges aging poses to our stories. The afternoon will introduce the sacred art of story-listening and prepare participants to provide narrative care.
Public lecture: "The Need for a Spiritual Revolution in Residential Care"
Date: Friday, November 17, 2017
Overview: There's an urgent need for a spiritual revolution in residential care. How can we better engage community in meeting spiritual needs? How do we continue to have meaningful friendships/relationships into old age, and what structures might support that, in our churches, in retirement communities and in long term care? The purpose of this seminar is to engage attendees in an interactive exploration of a new spiritual approach to psychosocial care within residential care (including long-term care homes, assisted living, and retirement homes)

I give thanks and praise to God for all His wonderful gifts."

3 - Green Vase
ORIGINAL ACRYLIC PAINTING: 24x36, $3200. See also in Giclee Gallery.
"In the studio where I painted 'Green Vase' there were dozens of objects to choose from, but I was immediately attracted to this fabulous translucent green Art Deco vase. As you can see, I used it as the centerpiece of the composition.
The rest is more or less invented.
"Green Vase" has won a number of awards, and the original has hung in several shows. It is one of my favorites."
4 - White Tulips and Fruit
ORIGINAL ACRYLIC PAINTING: 24x30, $2200. See also in Giclee Gallery.

"The phrase "Joie de Vivre" - "Joy of Life" - is one of my favorites. To me, Joy is a deep and powerful emotion which supercedes and outlasts the more ephemeral happiness.

This video captures highlights of Cycle For Survival 2018 at Equinox West LA! Watch me take you behind the scenes at this fun event.
Learn More & Join the Next Ride!
On February 24th, I DJed at Equinox West LA for Cycle for Survival! I worked with the AV team on-site to provide the energy and music for all of the teams and riders at the event. I worked alongside an MC, instructors, dancers, and a full production team to create an amazing experience for all of the riders.
For gear, I only brought with me what I needed such as my DJ controller, laptop, music, headphones, laptop cable, and a power strip. Then the AV hooked me up with XLR cables. We tested out sound, and the whole room sounded amazing! There was a subwoofer in the room to help people feel the booming bass in the music. They also installed a disco ball on top to create a cool party effect.
As for music, I mostly played upbeat, high energy EDM. I liked to play songs that people would recognize with a danceable, motivating beat. Partying along with me are some dancers to help keep the riders motivated as they cycle on through.
Overall, this was a successful event, and I heard we raised over $27 million nationwide to help beat rare cancers! This was an amazing experience and am so happy to provide the energy for everyone that night. Thank you, Equinox, for having me! And for those who are interested in participating and helping out, please check out https://www.cycleforsurvival.org/events

I'm not sure what I love more... gathering together diverse, creative people and seeing how their puzzle pieces slide into place next to one another for collective workshops and experiences - OR getting to pour forth inspiration for participants by directly tending and contemplating my own creative process.
Knee-deep in receiving flavorful content from over 30 other contributors for Spectrum + creating my own, I am feeling oh-so-blessed and charged - like electrically. Energized. I'm piecing together parts of my vision in ways I never have out loud before. Riding the currents of process. Anxious, of course, but we'll let that be part of the mysterious unraveling of the beauty that this journey is becoming.
There is a richness here simmering that I can smell, that calls my senses out to play, but that I'm not allowed to taste of just yet for fear of the grandmother-wooden-spoon smack down. The full nourishment won't be fully understood, anyway, until we sit at the table, plates before us, receive, share, choose what we like, dive in to savor, come back for seconds, and then kick back for digestion and story.
Will you be joining us for the love and practice? We begin in just two weeks...... eek!
(and if there are crickets over here on the blog side of things between now and then, you know why)

Marvel Comics have been criticized heavily for SJWism. The sales have declined greatly since the new direction was put into place. Marvel claimed they would be moving away from SJWism during the fall run, but the company is still intent on force-feeding fans stories that many feel are poorly crafted. They did, however, attempt to bring back some of the classic heroes, but it hasn't been handled all that well. One of the most outspoken critics of Marvel's comics is a YouTube channel known as Diversity & Comics. He has a moderate audience of 47,000 subscribers, yet Marvel treats him as public enemy number one.
We reported on a secret group of DC and Marvel writers who attempted to setup Diversity & Comics at the New York Comic-Con in order to get him kicked out. The plan was foiled when the conversations were leaked to the comic.
That hasn't stopped some Marvel editors from attempting to find ways to shut down Diversity & Comics. In fact, according to images on display in a 20 minute video posted up by the YouTuber, Facebook comments were captured of Marvel Comics editor Heather Antos colluding with a few other Social Justice Warriors in an attempt to get Diversity & Comics Patreon account shut down.
These tactics were similar to the ones employed by Zoe Quinn and those within the Crash Override Network, where the chat logs revealed the group to have engaged in targeted harassment and attempted doxing of #GamerGate supporters.
You can view the relevant images of the conversation below.
The gist of the conversation is that Susan Auger, Jacob Way, and Heather Antos (who apparently changed her last name on Facebook) were discussing ways to take down Diversity & Comics' Patreon. They claim that they attempted many times to get Patreon to take down the account for harassment, but have been unsuccessful so far.
As to why she has a different name on Facebook than Twitter, in a tweet back on November 15th, 2017 Heather explained that some of her friends were changing their last names on Facebook in order to feel "safe".
It breaks my heart how many of my close friends and colleagues have recently changed their Facebook last name to something different because they feel unsafe in their own community.
We must do better.
— Heather Antos (@HeatherAntos) November 15, 2017
Following some of Diversity & Comics' criticisms of Heather and her peers' work, she promptly blocked him on Twitter.
@HeatherAntos why did you block Diversity & Comics? Are you that against people giving your art/writing constructive criticism online? Geez
I did reach out to Heather Antos about the images and whether or not it's true that she did engage in attempting to get the Patreon account removed for Diversity & Comics. If she responds the article will be updated to reflect the response.
