Part of the Series
The Public Intellectual
In the world of popular culture, zombies seem to be everywhere as evidenced by the relentless slew of books, movies, video games and comics. From the haunting Night of the Living Dead to the comic movie Zombieland, the figure of the zombie has captured and touched something unique in the contemporary imagination. But the dark and terrifying image of the zombie with missing body parts, oozing body fluids and an appetite for fresh, living, human brains does more than feed the mass marketing machines that prey on the spectacle of the violent, grotesque and ethically comatose. There is more at work in this wave of fascination with the grotesquely walking hyper-dead than a Hollywood appropriation of the dark recesses and unrestrained urges of the human mind. The zombie phenomenon is now on display nightly on television alongside endless examples of destruction unfolding in real time. Such a cultural fascination with proliferating images of the living hyper-dead and unrelenting human catastrophes that extend from a global economic meltdown to the earthquake in Haiti to the ecological disaster caused by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico signal a shift away from the hope that accompanies the living to a politics of cynicism and despair. The macabre double movement between the living dead and those alive who are dying and suffering cannot be understood outside of the casino capitalism that now shapes every aspect of society in its own image. A casino capitalist zombie politics views competition as a form of social combat, celebrates war as an extension of politics and legitimates a ruthless social Darwinism in which particular individuals and groups are considered simply redundant, disposable – nothing more than human waste left to stew in their own misfortune – easy prey for the zombies who have a ravenous appetite for chaos and revel in apocalyptic visions filled with destruction, decay, abandoned houses, burned out cars, guttered landscapes and trashed gas stations.
The 21st century zombies no longer emerge from the grave; they now inhabit the rich environs of Wall Street and roam the halls of the gilded monuments of greed such as Goldman Sachs. As an editorial in The New York Times pointed out, the new zombies of free-market fundamentalism turned "the financial system into a casino. Like gambling, the transactions mostly just shifted money around. Unlike gambling, they packed an enormous capacity for economic destruction – hobbling banks that made bad bets, freezing credit and economic activity. Society – not the bankers – bore the cost."[1] In this way, the zombie – the immoral, sub-Nietzschean, id-driven "other" who is "hyper-dead," but still alive as an avatar of death and cruelty – provides an apt metaphor for a new kind of authoritarianism that has a grip on contemporary politics in the United States.[2] This is an authoritarianism in which mindless self-gratification becomes the norm, and public issues collapse into realm of privatized anger and rage. The rule of the market offers the hyper-dead an opportunity to exercise unprecedented power in American society, reconstructing civic and political culture almost entirely in the service of a politics that fuels the friend/enemy divide, even as democracy becomes the scandal of casino capitalism – its ultimate humiliation.
But the new zombies are not only wandering around in the banks, investment houses and death chambers of high finance; they have an ever increasing presence in the highest reaches of government and in the forefront of mainstream media. The growing number of zombies in the mainstream media have huge financial backing from the corporate elite and represent the new face of the culture of cruelty and hatred. Any mention of the social state, putting limits on casino capitalism and regulating corporate zombies puts Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh into a state of high rage. They disparage any discourse that embraces social justice, social responsibility and human rights. Appealing to "real" American values such as family, God and guns, they are in the forefront of a zombie politics that opposes any legislation or policy designed to lessen human suffering and promote economic and social progress. As Arun Gupta pointed out, they are insistent in their opposition to "civil rights, school desegregation, women's rights, labor organizing, the minimum wage, social security LGBT rights, welfare, immigrant rights, public education, reproductive rights, Medicare [and] Medicaid."[3] They spectacularize hatred and trade in lies and misinformation. They make populist appeals to the people while legitimating the power of the rich. They appeal to common sense as a way of devaluing a culture of questioning and critical exchange. Unrelenting in their role as archetypes of the hyper-dead, they are misanthropes trading in fear, hatred and hyper-nationalism.
The human suffering produced by the walking hyper-dead can also be seen in the nativist apoplexy resulting in the racist anti-immigration laws passed in Arizona, the attempts to ban ethnic studies in public schools, the rise of the punishing state, the social dumping of millions of people of color into prisons and the attempts of Tea Party fanatics and politicians who want to "take back America" from President Barack Obama – described in the new lexicon of right-wing political illiteracy as both an alleged socialist and the new Hitler. Newt Gingrich joins Glenn Beck and other members of the elite squad of the hyper-dead in arguing that Obama is just another version of Joseph Stalin. For Gingrich and the rest of the zombie ideologues, any discourse that advocates for social protections, easing human suffering or imagining a better future is dismissed by being compared to the horrors of the Nazi holocaust. Dystopian discourse and end-times morbidity rule the collective consciousness of this group.
The "death panels" envisaged by Palin are not going to emerge from Obama's health care reform plan, but from the toolkits the zombie politicians and talking heads open up every time they are given the opportunity to speak. The death threats, vandalism and crowds shouting homophobic slurs at openly gay Congressman Barney Frank already speak to a fixation with images of death, violence and war that now grips the country. Palin's infamous call to a gathering of her followers to "reload" in opposition to President Obama's policies soon followed in a nationally televised press conference with a request for the American people to embrace Arizona's new xenophobic laws makes her one of the most prominent of the political zombies. Not only has she made less than vague endorsements for violence in many of her public speeches, she has cheerfully embraced the new face of white supremacy in her recent unapologetic endorsement of racial profiling, stating in a widely reported speech, "It's time for Americans across this great country to stand up and say, 'We're all Arizonans now.'" [4] The current descent into racism, ignorance, corruption and mob idiocy makes clear the degree to which politics has become a sport for zombies rather than engaged and thoughtful citizens.[5]
The hyper-dead celebrate talk radio hatemongers such as Limbaugh, whose fanaticism appears to pass without criticism in the mainstream media. Limbaugh echoes the fanatics who whipped up racial hatred in Weimar Germany, the ideological zombies who dissolved the line between reason and distortion-laden propaganda. How else to explain his claim "that environmentalist terrorists might have caused the ecological disaster in the gulf"?[6] The ethically frozen zombies that dominate screen culture believe that only an appeal to self-interest motivates people – a convenient counterpart to a culture of cruelty that rebukes, if not disdains, any appeal to the virtues of a moral and just society. They smile at their audiences while collapsing the distinction between opinions and reasoned arguments. They report on Tea Party rallies while feeding the misplaced ideological frenzy that motivates such gatherings, but then refuse to comment on rallies all over the country that do not trade in violence or spectacle. They report uncritically on Islam bashers, such as the radical, right-wing, radio host Michael Savage, as if his ultra-extremist racist views are a legitimate part of the American mainstream. In the age of zombie politics, there is too little public outrage or informed public anger over the pushing of millions out of their homes and jobs, the defunding of schools and the rising tide of homeless families and destitute communities. Instead of organized, massive protests against casino capitalism, the American public is treated to an endless and arrogant display of wealth, greed and power. Armies of zombies tune in to game and reality TV shows, transfixed by the empty lure of celebrity culture.
The roaming armies of celebrity zombie intellectuals work hard to fuel a sense of misguided fear and indignation toward democratic politics, the social state and immigrants – all of which is spewed out in bitter words, and comes terribly close to inciting violence. Zombies love death-dealing institutions, which accounts for why they rarely criticize the bloated military budget and the rise of the punishing state and its expanding prison system. They smile with patriotic glee as automated drones kill innocent civilians – conveniently dismissed as collateral damage – and the torture state rolls inexorably along in Afghanistan and in other hidden and unknown sites. The slaughter that inevitably follows catastrophe is not new, but the current politics of death has reached new heights and threatens to transform a weak democracy into a full-fledged authoritarian state.
While the presence of zombies seems to dominate the news and the American political and cultural landscape, it does not signal the end of democratic politics. In fact, the increasing presence of the hyper-dead makes the need for resistance to such a politics all the more obvious, especially regarding those public spheres and institutions that produce knowledge, ideas, desires and values crucial to an aspiring democracy. While the struggle for reclaiming the government as a responsible social state capable of both placing limits on capital and providing protections for all Americans has to be central to such a challenge, so does the struggle over culture as a form of public pedagogy. The likes of Beck, Limbaugh and Palin matter not simply because of what they say, but because of the emergence and influence of anti-democratic institutions and the formations of capital that support them.
Power does not work simply through the control and influence of wealth, income and resources. It also has to legitimate itself, and for that it needs to create a pedagogical culture through which it can promote its ideologies and values. Vast right-wing cultural apparatuses now exist in the mainstream media, on college campuses and in the government – a kind of stealth pedagogical machine that does everything it can to promote its political agenda. The current fiascoes in Texas and Arizona speak to the seriousness of such a struggle as ethnic studies is banned, social studies curricula are written so as to erase any vestige of progressive history and freedom is sabotaged as it is abstracted from politics and reduced to the practice of consumerism. Mythic history now combines with a notion freedom that is as reactionary as it is depoliticizing. Zombie politics thrives on a culture of blinding illiteracy, and for such a culture to be challenged, labor, youth, unions, and other groups must unite over the need to address at the very least two pressing and interrelated issues.
Effective resistance to zombie politics first requires addressing the political, economic and cultural conditions of massive inequality produced by casino capitalism. These conditions must be challenged in every sphere in which such injustices appear. Such inequality is destructive of human lives and human societies, defines matters of life and death – whose life is valued and whose life only counts as redundant and disposable – and determines which members of society will have access to vital resources and which ones won't. [7] This is demonstrated by the inequitable funding of public schools and political campaigns, the poisonous influence of corporate lobbyists in shaping legislation that benefits corporations and the rich, access to quality health care based on wealth rather than need and the massive corrupt financial institutions that make a mockery of democracy while providing a beachhead for expanding inequality in every aspect of our lives.
The second most pressing issue involves the educational force of political and popular culture. Democratic ideas cannot exist without the public spheres that make them possible. Culture in the form of the Internet and mass media is the most powerful influence now used by the hyper-dead to promote their zombie politics. These spheres must be taken back. Intellectuals, parents, unions, workers, and other concerned citizens need to reclaim those places that give the voiceless a voice, allow those marginalized by class and race to speak and offer everyone the opportunity to reclaim an America that currently offers them little hope in terms of a better and more just life. This not only means using alternative media to counter the hatemongers, the conservative foundations and right-wing radio and television, but also organizing in churches, synagogues, mosques, union halls, and public schools in order collectively to reclaim such institutions as democratic public spheres while gaining the experience needed to challenge zombie pedagogy in its all of its manifestations throughout the culture and society.
Hannah Arendt has written that there are turning points in history when "the decline of the old, the birth of the new, is not necessarily an affair of continuity." What emerges in this liminal space between generations, according to Arendt, is a "kind of historical no man's land" that can only be described in terms of "no longer and not yet."[8] Today, we are living in one of these in-between times. The looming abyss is most obvious between the "no longer" of casino capitalism and the politics of the hyper-dead and the "not yet," which holds the potential of a new politics to emerge and assert the imperatives of a democracy that values trust, compassion, equality, freedom and social justice. As Americans, we must choose now whether to fall back into a pit of despair and death, ever-widening to contain all but the immensely rich and powerful, or to move forward as politicized individuals and organized communities into a future rooted in and sustained by democratic principles. The "not yet" of this presently unknown future demands of us that we connect thoughtful critique and outrage to a notion of realizable hope and that we heed a rallying cry for justice against a zombie politics in which democracy has been reduced to a graveyard for the hyper-dead.

Airborne Heat Ballooning
Pilot Training School
Pilot Services & Corporate Promotions
Cameron Balloon Sales
Airborne Heat Ballooning is one of the best Flight & Ground Schools in the country for balloon pilot training. In addition, Airborne Heat is a leader in Corporate Balloon Promotions for commercial accounts nationally, regionally and locally and is a dealer for Cameron Balloon US. Elizabeth Wright-Smith also served as an FAA appointed Designated Pilot Examiner in the past.
After Your Training
Pilot Training
To be a competent and safe pilot, you need to start with exceptional pilot training. You get that at Airborne Heat. Private, Commercial and Add-on instruction is available, as well as (Biennial) Flight Reviews or just brushing up on your piloting skills. Through our FAA-approved Part 141 School, you can be confident of leaving with the background and skills you need.
After Your Training
Once you have completed your hot air balloon pilot training, including completion of the written/knowledge test as required, you will need the Practical Test, commonly called a checkride, in order to obtain your Private, Commercial or Add-On pilot certification. Elizabeth Wright-Smith formerly served as a Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) to give Practical Tests and is able to guide you to an examiner for your checkride.
Cameron Balloon Sales
Airborne Heat sells only Cameron Balloons. Cameron is the best-selling brand of hot air balloons in the world. Whether you are interested in recreational ballooning, competition, advertising/promotional balloons, passenger ride balloons, or special shapes, Cameron knows more about building them than anyone in the industry. Airborne Heat's pilots have flown many other makes of balloons, but have continued selling Cameron's for over 30 years.
Corporate Balloon Promotions
A hot air balloon floating across the sky is an event that provides greater impact and a longer lasting impression than any other form of advertising. That is only true, however, if you start with the right company to handle the promotions. Airborne Heat's 30+ years of experience provides that expertise. Whether you are looking at a one-time event or a nation-wide program, we have the knowledge to put together a custom promotion or program that fits your company's needs.
Student Pilot Testimonials
After deciding to pursue an add-on Balloon rating to my Commercial pilot license, I asked around the balloon community and all roads led to Albuquerque, New Mexico and Beth Wright-Smith at Airborne Heat. Beth provides excellent instruction on a 1-on-1 basis so as a student, you have her undivided attention. She provides all the study material you will need to obtain either your Private or Commercial Balloon rating and the equipment is maintained with very high standards. Beth employs very experienced crewmembers to assist with each flight and always provides a pleasant learning environment. After training hundreds of airplane pilots with over 2000 hours as a flight instructor and receiving training to obtain multiple pilot ratings, I can say that Beth Wright-Smith was one of the best instructors that I have had in my 30+ years of flying. Flying with Airborne Heat was one of my top learning experiences.
Airborne Heat is a balloon school that provided us a solid, deep and wide base to stand on in our balloon flying. The base is founded by good, helping, caring and demanding instructors.
The practical and theoretical syllabus that Airborne Heat has is very well planned. The demands on us were stepped up during our development. Repeating learned knowledge was a "red string" in the training.
Airborne Heat is a thorough school and it is hard in a good way. When you earn your certificate from Airborne Heat, you have the basis for your future balloon flying. We are both glad that we chose Airborne Heat as our balloon school.
BTW- Airborne Heat's chief pilot loves chocolate!
I'll always remember my first flight in a hot air balloon, if for no other reason than about 2 minutes into it, Beth handed me the controls with a calm and collected "Your balloon". Calm and collected is far from what I felt that day. 5 weeks and a couple exams later, I left knowing that I had received the best ballooning education available and couldn't wait to get back and fly in my home town. Of course, at the end of 5 weeks, with my commercial certificate in hand, I had learned just enough to safely go out and build up experience, a process that has come with as many questions as learning to fly in the first place. Beth has been an invaluable resource, quickly responding to my late night questions about airspace, weather, regulations, or any other aspect of flying. There is a reason Beth's name is synonymous with balloon education: she is a vastly experienced pilot, an outstanding instructor, and an indefatigable story teller. I can't recommend her training highly enough.
After being a Commercial Pilot (Fixed Wing) for 20 years, having a CFII and MEI, being a FAR 121 major airline pilot instructor/check airman, and most recently acquiring my own Commercial Lighter-Than-Air Free Balloon Rating, it is safe to say I've experienced a wide variety of training styles, from extremely conservative to questionably radical.
I had the opportunity to witness excellent hot air balloon instruction while crewing for my wife, Traci, who was working on her Private Lighter-Than-Air Rating from Beth Wright-Smith. (No, I was not about to instruct my wife – I'd rather stay married!)
As Beth concisely described many different details of ballooning, I became acutely aware of how deficient my own training was. "That seems like an incredibly basic building block, I wonder why I never heard it before?" became an all too common thought for me as I watched Traci transform from a novice to a confident balloon pilot.
Upon further evaluation of the situation, it didn't take long to figure out the dynamics of the different training scenarios – you won't find a more experienced, or better teacher than Beth anywhere. The lady lives balloons! With an education in education and the vast amount of balloon experience, Beth makes for the ultimate professional combination in balloon flight training.
When it comes to flight training, it's not worth saving a few bucks with an instructor who sells cars for a living. You'll appreciate the experience, with your own self-confidence, after the positively professional presentation of Beth Wright-Smith. Trust me!
After crewing for 10 years, when my wife and I made the decision to get a balloon and learn to fly, I asked many questions of friends in the ballooning community. Everyone said Beth Wright-Smith was the best. Ground school proved to be the easier part of training for me. Beth made the material fun to learn and made sure through repetition and knowledge checks that I retained the mountain of information.
When it came to flying the balloon, I found I had to overcome a lot of self-doubt. In the first few flights, I was convinced I had made the worst mistake of my life. I was fearful of hurting a passenger, hurting myself, or damaging my equipment. Beth was patient and molded her teaching style to help me overcome my doubts and begin to have fun flying the balloon. Safety is always at the forefront of flying with Beth, and she made sure I executed each flight within regulation parameters and with safety for us, the crew, spectators, and equipment always the top priority.
As I near the first year anniversary of getting my private pilot certification, on each flight I make, I still hear Beth loud and clear in my ear. The lessons I learned from her will stick with me for a lifetime of flying. From time to time, I can see me returning to Beth and Airborne Heat to pay for a tune-up flight and gain additional knowledge from her. Beth continues to be a mentor and sounding board for me.
Anyone who is serious about learning to fly and believes safety is paramount should seek out instruction from Beth Wright-Smith and Airborne Heat Ballooning. I highly recommend Beth and her team at Airborne Heat for quality flight training. Thank you Beth, you truly are the best!
I have been a member of the National Ski Patrol's ski school for many years, teaching the best skiers in the world to ski more effectively. I am also a USA Waterski level III instructor, and have trained more than a handful of both National champions and top ranked competitors, including members of the National USA Waterski Barefoot Team and competitors in the Pan American games.
SO, and that is a big SO, when I decided to become a Hot air balloon pilot and to pursue both my private and commercial hot air certificate, I looked at all of my options! My wife and I took vacation time to travel to Albuquerque NM, the center of the ballooning universe, to personally check out training options and check out schools. We met with Beth on short notice in the middle of what I would later come to understand, was a very hectic day. Beth Wright-Smith, not only made time to meet with us, but was cordial, informative AND very motivational. She never questioned my plan but instead provided great insight and guidance. It became very obvious, very quickly that Airborne Heat was my best option for training if I really wanted to become a competent, safe and well rounded balloon pilot. Beth made me very aware of the differences between flying in my home state of Wisconsin and New Mexico. (Side note: I transitioned to Wisconsin with no problem!) She provided me with every opportunity to not only train, but to fly with some of the most famous and highly regarded pilots in the country. A special thanks to instructor Randy Rogers for putting up with my landings.
Beth exceeded my greatest expectations both as a balloon pilot instructor, mentor, and ambassador of hot air ballooning. Beth helped my wife and me purchase Arriba Ire, our first but probably not last hot air balloon. If you want to become a part of the hot air balloon community, receive the best legitimate training for the buck and become a truly competent balloon pilot, Airborne Heat is the training facility for you! I am greatly honored to recommend Beth Wright-Smith, not only as a superlative trainer, but as a fantastic resource in your quest to become a competent member of the ballooning fraternity! Fantastic, fun, and very, very good at what she does, sums up Beth Wright-Smith.

Data Elements | Use of Vendors | Transaction Descriptions |
Process Requirements
Policy decisions concerning the Electronic Lien Process are:
- At this time, all applications remain paper documents.
- If a paper title exists, it must be surrendered at the time of a supplemental lien application.
- No more data will be exchanged than is currently printed on the title.
- An electronic title with lien will remain electronic until it is printed.
- Once printed, it will remain a paper title, unless it is surrendered to again become an electronic title.
- DMV Headquarters provides a dedicated phone line for problem resolution by lienholders.
- No conversion of existing paper titles to electronic liens, or complete conversion of electronic titles to paper titles unless agreed to by all parties before any conversion.
Data Element Requirements
DMV will transmit the following data elements to identify a vehicle owner and a vehicle:
- Vehicle identification number (VIN)
- Title number/Title Issue Date
- Vehicle year/make
- Owner's name(s) and address
- Primary and secondary lienholder's name and address
- Date of lien
- Lienholder ID.
Requirements for Use of Vendors
The following applies to any other contracts with vendors, third-party service providers or service bureaus:
- DMV contracts with the lienholder and with an approved vendor or service bureau working for the lienholder.
- The lienholder can sign a contract with any vendor or service bureau which will support all or any part of the electronic lien process.
- Once the lienholder signs a contract with a vendor or service bureau, DMV will work with both the lienholder and the vendor or service bureau to implement the Electronic Lien Program.
- The lienholder assumes full responsibility for any actions taken by a vendor or service bureau working on its behalf.
Transaction Descriptions
Title Establishment
When Sent:When a title transaction is processed at DMV, a record is established on the customer database, which includes information identifying the vehicle, the vehicle owner, and the lienholder. When DMV identifies the lienholder as an electronic lien program participant, it adds an electronic lien indicator (Title held: electronic lien). This tells DMV personnel that no paper title was produced.
Who Sends: DMV
How It Works: DMV extracts the minimum identifying information from DMV's records and transmits it to the lienholder. The title will not print until the lienholder releases it (lien satisfied) or requests the title to be printed (print only). The lienholder electronically matches the message against its own customer records and notifies DMV if it cannot match a record to the information contained in the record.
Lien Satisfied
When Sent: When the loan (lien on vehicle) has been paid off.
Who Sends: Lienholder
How It Works: When a lien satisfied message is received from the lienholder, DMV will electronically remove the name and address of the lienholder sending the message. DMV will then check for any other liens for that vehicle.
- No Other Lien: DMV will remove the electronic lien indicator and print the title. The title is mailed to the vehicle owner, either at the owner's address of record or to the address indicated in a distributive mailing message, the next day.
- Additional Lien on Record: DMV will move the name and address of the lienholder with the oldest lien into the primary lienholder field. The electronic lien indicator will be removed and the title will be printed and mailed to the new primary lienholder if that lienholder is not a participant in the Electronic Lien Program.
Print Only
When Sent: Whenever the lienholder needs the paper title. This can occur in instances of repossession, sale of paper, dealer pay-off, or other change in vehicle or lien ownership.
Who Sends: Lienholder
How It Works: The lienholder requests a print only transaction by flagging the appropriate record and including the correct code. This message is sent to DMV electronically.
DMV will remove the electronic lien indicator. The title is printed and mailed to the lienholder the next day.
Distributive Printing (Release of "title print held" condition)
When Sent: Whenever the lienholder has determined that a printed title is required within 24 hours. This can occur in instances of repossession, sale of paper, dealer pay-off, or other change in vehicle or lien ownership. The title can be printed either with the lien interest released (satisfied) or with the lien intact, as requested by the lienholder.
Who Sends: Lienholder (to the "Emergency" folder)
How It Works: The lienholder requests that the "title print held" condition be removed and indicates whether or not the lien interest is to be released, and to which of DMV's Customer Service Centers(CSC) the designated representative of the lienholder, an insurance company, another financial institution, or a dealership, or the customer will go to pick up the printed title (the representative or the customer must have appropriate identification). DMV will release the electronic lien indicator and the "title print held" condition, which will allow the CSC to print the title. The designated CSC will be notified, by DMV prior to the close of the business day, of the name of the entity from which a representative will come to pick up the paper title. The designated CSC will print the title for the representative upon presentation of proper identification and a letter from that entity identifying the representative as authorized to receive the printed title. These messages are to be sent to DMV's "Emergency" folder, ONLY.
Distributive Mailing
When Sent: Whenever the lienholder has determined that the title must be mailed to the owner in care of either a dealership, insurance company, or another financial institution. This can occur in instances of dealer pay-off, insurance company pay-off, refinancing by another financial institution, or sale of paper to another financial institution. This message includes a release of lien interest (lien satisfaction).
Who Sends: Lienholder
How It Works: The lienholder requests a release of lien interest, including a distributive mailing request, indicating the name and address to which the title is to be mailed. DMV will remove the electronic lien indicator, satisfy the lien, print the title, and mail it to the customer, in care of the specified name and address. These titles will be mailed within one business day.
Error Message
When Sent: Whenever a message is transmitted that cannot be identified or matched to a record, or when DMV transmitted information incorrectly.
Who Sends: DMV and lienholders
How It Works: Either DMV or the lienholder should send an error message if it discovers:
- Data transmitted by mistake that should not have been sent;
- Data that should have been sent, but contained errors;
- Problems with its programs transmitting the data.
Most errors transmitted are resolved electronically. However, the DMV and the lienholder are responsible for researching and correcting such problems.
Lien Satisfied and Print Title Verifications
When Sent: Whenever a lienholder has notified DMV that a lien has been satisfied or requests a title to be printed.
Who Sends: DMV
How It Works: Once the title has been printed, DMV will generate a verification message which contains information identifying the vehicle. This message will be sent back to the requesting lienholder as confirmation that the title was printed. The vehicle record will be updated to indicate that the title has been released.
Print Only Transaction
When Sent: Lienholders should use this transaction when they need the title document in order to:
- Add an owner to the title
- Change the lienholder
- Handle a routine, non-emergency dealer payoff or
- Purchase
- Repossess a vehicle
- Transfer ownership of the vehicle
Who Sends: Lienholder
How It Works: The lienholder requests the title to be printed, without releasing their interest in the lien. DMV changes the electronic lien indicator, removes the "title print held" condition and prints the title overnight, mailing it to the lienholder the next day.

A quick look at Blackberry 10.2 and web browsing performance on Z10
by Rahul Garg on October 26, 2013 5:30 PM EST- Posted in

- Blackberry 10
Blackberry has started rolling out OS 10.2 to BB10 devices such as Z10, Q10 and Q5. Update appears to be available in Canada and UK for a start. The OS update is quite a major one. The android runtime has been updated to 4.2 Jelly Bean from the previous Gingerbread based version and its performance has improved significantly. I noticed that android-ported applications like Skype that lagged before are much smoother now. A priority hub, where it shows messages of high priority, has been introduced. These are selected intelligently, or through user controlled rules such as priority contacts. Lock screen notifications are more detailed now and you can see previews of messages. Toast notifications (called instant previews) with inline reply capability have been introduced. I noticed some issues with BBM previews, but email and SMS previews working fine. Wifi direct support has been introduced for the BB10 models, while the Z30 gets two additional connectivity features: USB host support and miracast support. A new device manager utility allows you to monitor CPU and RAM usage of various apps. Keyboard has been enhanced with more fine-grained audio feedback and smoother copy/paste.
Here are some web browsing benchmarks.
In terms of the OS, it is nice to see Blackberry making progress on both OS features and web browsing performance. An OS update obviously cannot do anything about the relatively weak app ecosystem or the unspectacular hardware, but the OS itself is maturing quite nicely.

The A7 isn't quite as fast as haswell yet, but the PA Semi guys did an amazing job designing the A7. Intel CPU perf isn't going anywhere fast and I think Apple has a good chance at catching them in the next few years with a cell phone SoC. -
teiglin - Saturday, October 26, 2013 - link
Are you really arguing that in the next few years, Apple will run a phone CPU that is as fast as Intel's notebook CPU? That is ridiculous. A7 is (very) roughly comparable to Bay Trail, which is roughly comparable to ULV Penryn, so we're talking about six years of performance gap there. What's worse for ultra-mobile performance, we're running up against physical barriers for process shrinks, so absent some huge advance in lithography (or some alternative), it seems unlikely that whatever goes in the iPhone in six years will even be as fast as ULV Haswell, much less whatever Intel will be shipping at that time.
None of that is to deny that A7 is quite impressive. I mean, between the A7 and iOS, they are performing comparable to Qualcomm SoCs running 75% higher clocks and twice as many CPU cores. But it'll be a long time before they "catch up" to where laptop hardware is today. -
Loki726 - Saturday, October 26, 2013 - link
Yeah, that's exactly what I am arguing. It is speculation, so don't read too much into it, but I think that the A7 is much closer than most people would have considered possible 5 years ago. -
lowlymarine - Saturday, October 26, 2013 - link
In every one of the benchmarks above, excepting SunSpider, Safari 7 on the iPhone 5S is outperformed by Chrome 30 on an old Mobile Athlon 64 3400+ notebook I have laying around. Now, while that mostly serves to illustrate how utterly useless JS benchmarks are as a meaningful way to compare performance across radically different devices, it might also suggest the A7 isn't quite as "desktop class" as Apple wants you to believe - provided your "desktop" is from this decade, anyways. -
teiglin - Saturday, October 26, 2013 - link
Well, I'll take the odds on that bet. ;)
We'll see how things go. I certainly can't disagree about the unexpected speed with which smartphone CPUs have advanced, and there is the argument that Windows on Bay Trail is "good enough" so maybe A7 or next year's A8 could be "good enough" for OS X on ARM, if such a thing comes to be (not holding my breath). It would certainly to be interesting to see some data on power vs. performance scaling of A7 if you could overclock it--I wonder how much perf it could pull at a 10W+ TDP.

- new developments in technology – resulting in faster, higher volume trades and exponential increases in participation at the retail and institutional levels;
- increased cross-border capital flows;
- increased use of new currencies;
- consolidation of FX processing in global or regional processing centers; and
- new developments in global regulations since the 2008 financial crisis.
Therefore, it is important for market stakeholders, including banks, industry groups and central banks and regulators to increase their understanding of the existing and emerging issues and work together to mitigate the risks and strengthen the resiliency of the market. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY), in particular, plays an important role in facilitating those discussions and working to promote sound practices through the development and implementation of policies and application of supervisory guidance.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has awarded a $3.5 million grant for AIDS vaccine research to Phillip Berman, chair and Baskin Professor of biomolecular engineering at the Jack Baskin School of Engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
With the new five-year grant, Berman's group will follow up on promising findings they reported in the August issue of the Journal of Virology. The researchers identified a novel structural element in an HIV coat protein that could be useful for vaccine development.
Despite major efforts over the past 20 years to develop an AIDS vaccine, none of the vaccines tested in clinical trials has succeeded in preventing HIV infections. Berman oversaw one of those trials as head of research and development at VaxGen. Now he has gone "back to the drawing board" to take a new approach to AIDS vaccine development.
The focus of the research is on antibodies that are capable of neutralizing a wide range of HIV strains. Such "broadly neutralizing antibodies" are necessary to stop the virus because HIV is extremely variable, constantly evolving to evade the immune systems of infected individuals.
"One of the main hypotheses in HIV vaccine research is that if a vaccine could induce those broadly neutralizing antibodies, it would work. None of the current vaccines do that," Berman said.
Our immune systems are capable of making broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV, but studies have found that this happens in fewer than 25 percent of infected individuals and not until six to 12 months after infection. By then, it's too late to stop the virus. "The antibodies have to be there before infection occurs. After the virus gets a foothold, it's too late," Berman said.
Berman's lab, along with collaborators at Monogram Biosciences of South San Francisco, developed a new method called "swarm analysis" to investigate the natural variations in the virus that emerge in the early stages of HIV infections. The studies reported in the Journal of Virology paper were led by first author Sara O'Rourke, a research specialist in biomolecular engineering at UCSC.
"We've made use of the natural variation in viral gene sequences to identify the binding sites recognized by broadly neutralizing antibodies," Berman said. "By looking at viruses from very early infections, we're seeing variations that hadn't been seen before."
One of those variations appears to change the shape of an HIV coat protein in such a way that it becomes more sensitive to neutralization by antibodies. Working with William Scott, professor of chemistry and biochemistry at UCSC, Berman's lab analyzed the effects of this genetic variant on the three-dimensional structure of the protein. The results indicate that the structural change exposes parts of the protein that are normally hidden from the immune system and are only exposed transiently during the infection process, when the viral membrane fuses with the membrane of a human cell.
In the Journal of Virology paper, the authors suggest that this novel structural variant could be exploited in designing new vaccines.
"We think that by making a vaccine based on this structure where the binding sites are exposed, it will stimulate a broadly neutralizing antibody response," Berman said. "By having the protein in a different conformation, the immune system can see those binding sites and make antibodies that would then be effective against normal virus strains during that transient window when the sites are exposed."
Studies are currently under way to examine the immunogenic potential of the variants identified in the study.
Meanwhile, the vaccine that Berman invented at Genentech in the mid-1990s, then evaluated in clinical trials at VaxGen, has been tested in a more recent clinical trial (RV 144) sponsored by U.S. and Thai government agencies. The manufacturing and intellectual property rights for the vaccine are now held by Global Solutions for Infectious Diseases (GSID). Results of the trial, which concluded earlier this year, are expected to be announced in October at the AIDS Vaccine 2009 international conference in Paris. The clinical trial tested a "prime-boost" vaccine regimen, in which a vaccine developed by Aventis Pasteur was used as a "priming" vaccine, followed by the GSID vaccine as a "booster." The community-based clinical trial involved 16,000 volunteers in southeast Thailand.
Berman said the research funded by the new grant will complement the data from the RV 144 trial. Using the "swarm analysis" technique and the bioinformatics and genomics expertise of his UCSC colleagues, Berman's group will be studying the evolution of the virus and the host's immune response during the early stages of HIV infection. Blood serum samples collected during earlier VaxGen clinical trials involving intravenous drug users are a crucial resource for these studies.
"It's a lemons to lemonade kind of thing, building on information from a failed vaccine trial to move the field forward in a different way," Berman said.
In addition to O'Rourke, Berman, and Scott, the coauthors of the Journal of Virology paper include Becky Schweighardt and Terri Wrin of Monogram Biosciences, Dora Fonseca of UCSC, and Faruk Sinangil of GSID. GSID is a nonprofit organization based in South San Francisco that focuses on vaccines for the developing world. The study was supported by a grant to GSID from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and funding provided by UCSC.

(KGTV) — Former Blink-182 guitarist and Poway native Tom DeLonge is set to host a History Channel series centered on proving the existence of UFOs.
The six-part series "Unidentified: Inside America's UFO Investigation" will feature DeLonge's interview with a former military intelligence official, Luis Elizondo, who confirmed the Pentagon's UFO program.
According to the Associated Press, Elizondo told The New York Times in 2017 he used to run the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.
RELATED: Blink 182's Tom DeLonge examines UFO report from San Diego Navy pilot
The series will also feature interviews with other former government and aerospace officials and, "produce tangible evidence to build the most indisputable case for the existence and threat of UFOs."
"With this show, the real conversation can finally begin," DeLonge said in a statement. "I think everyone that watches the show will walk away with questions answered and a feeling of, "wow, I get it now."'
The History Channel series is scheduled to air in May.
DeLonge, who also fronts the band Angels & Airwaves, has long been fascinated by the extraterrestrial. He is CEO of To The Stars Academy, which aims to help researchers, "explore exotic science and technologies."

It Looks Like 'Avengers 4' Has a New Release Date, According to IMAX
We may be reuniting with the Avengers sooner than expected. The still-untitled Avengers 4 was set to hit theaters next May, but a new report from IMAX suggests that date has changed.
As spotted by CBR.com (h/t /Film), a recent quarterly earnings report from IMAX includes the company's 2019 release schedule. A handful of the dates are ones we already know, from Glass to Shazam and Captain Marvel. But most interesting is that Avengers 4, originally set for a May 3, 2019 release, is now listed as April 2019.
The explanation could be as simple as a mistake on IMAX's part – maybe they're just big MCU fans and got a little excited? It could also be referring to the film's international release of April 26, 2019, but all the other films in the report are listed with their domestic dates. So perhaps we are getting Avengers 4 sooner than expected; after all, bumping the release up by a month wouldn't be unheard of for Marvel. The studio did the same with Infinity War last year, pushing the release up one week from May 4 to April 27. They did it in a pretty cute way too, revealing the news in a Twitter exchange with Tony Stark himself. So if this is the plan, did IMAX muck up the change and spill the news early? We checked with a Marvel representative to find out, but have yet to receive comment.
Either way, we still have plenty of time to keep theorizing about what the heck the title will be and pressing Angela Bassett for spoilers.

I fancy myself an environmentalist. I recycle, backyard compost, have rooftop solar, rarely use AC or heat, drive a hybrid, don't have a lawn and eat vegetarian.
Yet the truth is I am as responsible for climate change as the next guy. Here's why.
Doing those things makes me feel good about myself, but they don't move the world measurably closer to solving the climate crisis. My journey to this conclusion began by looking into my personal carbon footprint using readily available online tools.
The U.S. EPA's carbon footprint calculator, for example, looks at three sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions: home utilities for heating, cooling and cooking; vehicle fuel efficiency and miles driven; and non-recycled waste generation. In these areas, my carbon footprint was roughly half that of other people living in my zip code.
However, roughly two-thirds of Americans' GHG emissions are embedded in so-called "indirect" emissions released during the production of all the other things we consume, such as food, household supplies, apparel, air travel, and services of all types, according to an in-depth analysis by the Center for Global Development, a non-profit policy research organization.
Furthermore, higher income suburbanites like me generally consume more goods and services, which ratchets up their carbon footprint compared to people in lower income brackets.
Despite my efforts to live "green," my lifestyle is highly energy intensive, as is that of the average American who is responsible for GHG emissions equivalent to dumping 21.8 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere annually, according to the Center for Global Development's analysis.
I then looked into the energy input it takes to support the typical American lifestyle which drives the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. Luckily, Professor of Physics Richard Wolfson of Middlebury College has an ingenious demonstration that does just that.
A hand crank is set up to drive an electric generator connected to 100-watt lightbulbs. A typical person can turn the crank fast enough to keep one lightbulb lit, but not two. Thus, the work output of a human body is roughly equivalent to 100 watts. Wolfson designates this 100-watt energy output as one energy servant. The question then is, "how many energy servants does it take to support the average American lifestyle?"
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, U.S. energy consumption in 2016 totaled 97.4 quadrillion Btus (British thermal units). Converting to familiar units and to a per capita basis averaged around the clock, the typical American lifestyle consumes energy at a rate of roughly 10 kW (kW=1000 watts), which is equivalent to having a staggering 100 personal energy servants cranking away non-stop, 24/7.
This humbling exercise led to an inevitable conclusion. My feel-good actions to decrease my carbon footprint don't amount to a drop in the bucket. Solving the climate crisis is going to require either wholesale chucking of the American lifestyle or a nationwide collective shift from a fossil fuel to a sustainable energy economy. Given that returning to horse drawn carriages and pony express mail is beyond unrealistic, the path forward crystal clear.
Collective action at the federal level is imperative. There are only two legislative solutions on the table, a carbon tax and cap-and-trade (see sidebars for definitions). It is incumbent upon us all, as citizens, to familiarize ourselves with both and to pressure our representatives in Washington to speedily enact a national legislative fix.
Even conservative economists widely view a simple carbon tax as the most workable solution at the federal level to transitioning to clean energy: It's less costly than other approaches which conservatives tend to oppose, like regulations, subsidies and mandates, and can be easily adopted by other countries.
The most important contribution of personal actions to decrease one's carbon footprint is to set the psychological framework for wholehearted endorsement of collective action. Because of the enormity and urgency of the climate crisis, "walking the talk" as an environmentalist means going beyond personal behaviors to promoting collective action.

So, you've decided that well-developed body is stronger to join one within the many tea clubs you simply have seen advertised anywhere! However, at last you decided not to be hasty about something, and start little research before making yourself a commirment to a golf. That's a smart idea, for there are really quite several clubs out there, simply no two are alike.
Start up a casual conversation and say something witty to obtain her particular. You have to make sure you get the general approval of her friends also so engage them in conversation as well. So use humor to your advantage, find them all a round of drinks (if your pocket allows the application!) and begin a conversation with your ex.
If you're new to Drink Club promoting, then it's best to start 강남야구장 out as a sub-promoter working under a promotion company prior to feel that you go out on your own. This technique are not required but it's commended as one way to get training from a proficient promoter. This will help you to comprehend how it all works.
Buy higher quality alcohol. In case you usually buy boxes or litre bottles of wine or the supermarket's own brand of spirit, instead buy a top-notch shelf logo and Drink Club a smaller amount of it. Taste, smell, look at it advertise the whole experience more sensory and special. To become enjoyable and take your own time.
Just like being for any bar, alcohol tends circulate freely in a very strip golf-club. For some, it adds to the experience. For others, ought to just another enjoyable activity to inside with other people. Either way, there are limits that should be followed. When someone has too much to drink, he will probably lose some inhibitions and do elements that might be out of character.
You call the health and fitness center to inquire and are usually informed the following, "When you gave us written notice that you simply did n't want to renew your contract we automatically switched of which you a month-to-month membership". Now you decide to pay for the processing fee.
When it will become more important to preserve is required to cells than kill them, more in order to enjoy your weekend than to waste it, more in order to live life than to stumble through, it might be time to reevaluate how old you are and it's recommended people how old you are are doing!

Running Away With You
by Suzanne
Fletcher's life has been full of surprises ever since she began dating NFL
superstar Evan "Big Mac" McGuire. He's everything she could ever have wished
for – strong and tender, and wrapped up in an exquisite package. She has
experienced more happiness than she ever dreamed of, but she's also survived
enough pain and anguish to last a lifetime.
It's Evan's rookie
season as starting quarterback with the NJ Sentinels, and it looks like he just
might take the team all the way to the playoffs for the first time in five
seasons. And now Juliette is planning
her dream wedding in the dazzle of the paparazzi's camera flashes.
But Juliette is about
to learn how quickly a dream can turn into a nightmare. Dark secrets begin to
emerge – the kind that wreck careers and break hearts. Is silence a betrayal,
even when the truth could cause anguish to the ones you love? And when the past
threatens to cast its shadow over the present, how far is too far to make
certain it stays buried?

and when I hear Evan singing along to "You Shook Me All Night Long", I can't
help but smile. We have a routine when he's got an away game, and "You Shook Me
All Night Long" pretty well sums it up. The first few weeks of the season, I
felt guilty for keeping him up all night so close to a game, but then I
realized that the night before the game, he's safely tucked away in his hotel
room by eight o'clock. That more than makes up for whatever sleep he may have
missed the night before.

on the plane, and then again on the way home, so there's no need to pack that.
He needs workout clothes, something to wear to dinner, and lots of clean socks
and underwear. God, he has great underwear. Some say Armani on the waist.
Others say Andrew Christian in gold. They are all tight-fitting boxer briefs
and all make him look sexy as hell. Not that he needs any help in that
are you staring at my underwear?" he laughs. I am so caught up in my thoughts,
I never heard him turn off the music. Now, he's standing in front of me wearing
nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist. Water droplets cling to his skin,
and all I can think about is licking them off one by one.
God, he's delicious.

When I saw marshmallow and toothpick construction post @Pink and Green Mama Blog, my head was running with ideas on how to make shapes with something similar to marshmallows but not marshmallows. I have not given CJ marshmallows. She has a sweet tooth and I didn't want to add marshmallows to the list. So We made geometric shapes, 2D and 3D, using toothpicks and grapes as connectors.
All you need is grapes and toothpicks
This activity may be messy so I just covered the table with a plastic sheet(Generally I use a clean, fresh trash bag as plastic sheet)
I showed CJ how to attach the grapes and toothpicks. With little help she created a triangular pyramid.
After that she started playing around!
Twinkle, Twinkle Grape Star!
Shapes, Shapes and Shapes!
After all the shape fun, CJ wanted to create some alphabets. She would say an alphabet and I helped her creating them. Here's our Alphabet tray!
Watermelon cubes, pineapple cubes or for less messy version raisins can be used as connectors.

Most of us have found some sort of Traditional Italian Food that has become a favorite for our families and ourselves. Unfortunately, far too many of us discount the possibility of bringing Italian cooking into our very own kitchens for fear that many of the recipes are far too difficult.
The truth is that learning to cook Italian food just might make your home the favorite drop-in dining spot for friends and family all over.
Believe it or not, most great traditional Italian food has an easier version that can be made with very similar effects when it comes to flavor and aroma. Also, despite the commercials of old, all Italian cooking does not require an entire day of simmering in order to achieve great flavor.
Though you do not have to let your friends and family in on that little secret. Be a martyr for flavor and they will love you even more. You do not have to let anyone in on your best-kept secrets when it comes to preparing these often simple Italian dishes.
Main Ingredients of the Traditional Italian Food
The biggest challenge that most Americans face when it comes to Italian cooking is basically learning a new set of essential ingredients. The cheese, meats, or grains that are used in this creation most often identify or define Italian cuisine.
It's the combination of these primary ingredients that create some of the most distinctive flavors on earth. Learn about these ingredients. Identify the flavors and study the combinations of flavors and you should be able to not only follow many great traditional Italian food but also to invent a few of your very own Italian-inspired recipes. Here are some examples of Italian American Food that don't exist in Italy.
The greatest thing when it comes to cooking Italian food is that most of these dishes are rather difficult to destroy. This, of course, does not indicate that it cannot be done, only that it isn't as simple as with some of the more delicate cuisines around the world. Traditional Italian food is durable and flavorful but for the most part not too terribly delicate when it comes to flavor.
You can go a little heavy with some spice or cheese without completely ruining the dish in most instances. If you are anything like me, this is a regular occurrence when cooking and one of the reasons I enjoy cooking Italian food so much.
Whether you are a beginner when it comes to the culinary arts or a seasoned pro. there is something that will provide the appropriate challenge for you when it comes to Italian cooking. Take a look around, there are recipes in abundance across the Internet, at your local library, in specialty cookbooks, and even in your favorite blockbuster best-selling novels.
Another thing you should keep in mind when cooking Italian food is that nothing seems to bring out the flavor of Italian food better than a good bottle of wine to match. Perhaps, this is the reason that it is difficult to ruin an Italian meal, no matter how bad it is, the good wine paired with it, will erase all ill will and tastes in very short order.
You will want to spend a little time researching and studying the science (though some will argue that this is truly an art form) that goes along with pairing a good bottle of wine with the right flavor combination when it comes to Italian cooking. Once you've mastered this, there is nothing to prevent you from being the diva of all things Italian when it comes to food preparation.
The most important thing for you to remember when cooking traditional Italian food is not to take the cooking too seriously. Good Italians know that the enjoyment of the meal is far more important than the process of preparing the meal. Make your meal an event with plenty of time for pleasant conversation and enjoyment of your company in between courses. You should also never rush a good Italian meal or you will find that all your efforts cooking Italian will be for naught as the true pleasure of Italian cuisine has been lost somewhere in translation.

False Ego
False ego is what makes us think that our self and our external body are one and the same. The reality is that we are all spiritual. We don't die. Without understanding that, we think, "This body is who I am." We think our temporary bodily labels—white, black, tall, short, young, old, man, woman—apply to us.
We're made of spiritual energy, which means that we're eternal and conscious. Spiritual energy is superior to the temporary, unconscious matter our bodies are made of. False ego is the most subtle feature of the inferior, material energy. It's the the very point of contact between spirit and matter. It's what keeps us tied to repeated births and deaths.

QT False Ego
- Of Boxes, Modes, and Freedom of Choice
- when we have a mistaken sense of self, our freedom is terribly limited. - Life – Real and Artificial
- how we experience reality through a set of filters that distort our vision. - The Highest Law Of Nature
- of what value is our "opinion" if we don't even know who we are? A conversation about false ego with Srila Prabhupada. - The Search For Self-fulfillment
- when our real self is covered by our false self, our "happiness" is illusory and temporary.
We like to quote our sources. This page was inspired by the following:
- Bhagavad-gita As It Is, Introduction :
"When we are materially contaminated, we are called conditioned. False consciousness is exhibited under the impression that I am a product of material nature. This is called false ego. One who is absorbed in the thought of bodily conceptions cannot understand his situation."
- Bhagavad-gita, 3.27:
"The spirit soul bewildered by the influence of false ego thinks himself the doer of activities that are in actuality carried out by the three modes of material nature."
- Bhagavad-gita, 3.27, Purport:
"The person in material consciousness is convinced by false ego that he is the doer of everything. He does not know that the mechanism of the body is produced by material nature, which works under the supervision of the Supreme Lord. The materialistic person has no knowledge that ultimately he is under the control of Krishna. The person in false ego takes all credit for doing everything independently, and that is the symptom of his nescience."
- Chaitanya Charitamrita, Madhya-lila, 20.108:
" It is the living entity's constitutional position to be an eternal servant of Krishna because he is the marginal energy of Krishna and a manifestation simultaneously one and different from the Lord, like a molecular particle of sunshine or fire."
- Srimad-Bhagavatam, 10.84.13:
"A human being who identifies this body made of three elements with his self, who considers the by-products of the body to be his kinsmen, who considers the land of birth worshipable, and who goes to the place of pilgrimage simply to take a bath rather than meet men of transcendental knowledge there, is to be considered like an ass or a cow."

It's difficult to find another WDI Imagineer who participated to the grand adventure of Disney theme parks from the start and Marty has obviously tons of inside stories to share, so this book will be one of the most awaited of the year for all Disney theme park fans! When Marty retired some years ago WDI did a fantastic party for him and D&M had the scoop pictures of it. If you've missed this article you can read it HERE.
Here is the book description, from Amazon:
Marty Sklar was hired by The Walt Disney Company after his junior year at UCLA, and began his Disney career at Disneyland in July 1955, the month before the park opened. He spent his first decade at Disney as "the kid," the very youngest of the creative team Walt had assembled at WED Enterprises. But despite his youth, his talents propelled him forward into substantial responsibility: he became Walt's speech writer, penned Walt's and Roy's messages in the company's annual report, composed most of the publicity and marketing materials for Disneyland, conceived presentations for the U.S. government, devised initiatives to obtain sponsors to enable new Disneyland developments, and wrote a twenty-four-minute film expressing Walt's philosophy for the Walt Disney World project and Epcot. He was Walt's literary right-hand man.
Over the next forty years, Marty Sklar rose to become president and principal creative executive of Walt Disney Imagineering, and he devoted his entire career to creating, enhancing, and expanding Walt's magical empire. This beautifully written and enlightening book is Marty's own retelling of his epic Disney journey, a grand adventure that lasted over half a century.

Winter Veil New Start Time
The World of Warcraft in game holiday The Feast of Winter Veil will start tommorrow Wednesday December 15th at 6:00 AM California time for US servers, 8am on my server. EU Servers have been reported to also have the 6:00AM start time. Check your in game calendar to confirm what time the Winter Veil holiday will be starting on your server. Why is this important?
Normally you should be posting the night before any patch or holiday event goes live. The past years the Winter Veil holiday event went live at 3am, which was great for those of us that planned ahead, set the market prices the night before and made a killing on profits before other players caught on. With the new start time of 8am, expect competition to be something crazy fierce. We won't be able to get the jump on most of the players as there will be no overnight sales. Every man and his monkey will be fighting over the prices of small eggs, cookies, milk, and winter clothes. Get ready for a dog fight! You have been warned.
Winter Veil Posts
Be sure to check out the other posts here at Cold's Gold Factory regarding Winter's Veil. I have given you plenty of time and warning to prepare for this holiday. Winter's Veil in World of Warcraft is one of the most profitable holidays of the year.
Here's a quick refresher in case you need to get up to speed on the Winter's Veil opportunities.

To find the best Dublin Patios company, click here for Quality Driveways Dublin.
We are often asked how to paint an existing laminate countertop, and if it is even possible. Yes, you can paint countertops, but you need to prepare the countertop surface carefully beforehand with special primer. Heres how.
(1) Wash the countertop with some ammonia-based cleaner or some warm ammonia diluted with water. Get it as clean as possible, removing all dirt and grime. When the surface is dry, you may wish to put strips of low-tack painters tape on any trim around the countertop.
(2) The next step is to prime the countertop surface with a bonding primer, this will make sure the paint will stick to a non-porous surface. Some good bonding primers are XIM 400, Sherwin-Williams PrepRite, or Zinssers Bin. Follow the primer manufacturers instructions; plan on allowing the primer to set for about 24 hours before painting. The odor can be strong, so consider opening windows and closing the room off from the rest of the house when using these products.
(3) When the primer is dry, its time to paint your selected new color paint to the existing laminate countertop. Nothing changes a kitchens look quite so much as countertop finishes, so make sure youve matched swatches to your existing colors appliances, walls, flooring and all. If you use your laminate countertops to prepare food directly on, use water based paint; the chemicals in oil based paints may leech into your food, which is not a good thing. Apply two to three thin layers of paint, letting them dry between each coating. If you like, and are feeling creative, you can stencil-paint some patterned borders on your laminate countertops new base paint as well at this point.
(4) The final step is to seal the paint. Three coats of satin or high-gloss non-yellowing polyurethane will give you maximum durability. I prefer water-based sealer; it will not alter the appearance of your paints colors when it dries. Allow the sealer to dry 24 hrs. You might have to order take-out dinners for a couple of days, but it will be worth it when you see your fabulous new painted laminate countertops in your kitchen.

Yeah, I suppose this could be Allen West's next act:
Though he has yet to concede, U.S. Rep. Allen West, a former Army lieutenant colonel and Republican firebrand, narrowly lost his re-election bid last week.But I think he's just going to lick his wounds and do a lot of appearances on Fox. Maybe the military contractor he used to work for will give him some sort of sinecure.
So what's in the cards for the coastal Florida congressman after his lame-duck duties are done? Sue Everhart, chairman of the Georgia Republican party, said Monday she would love it if West, an Atlanta native and Grady High School grad, returned to his roots.
"I would be glad to have him come back to Georgia and at some point run here," Everhart told my AJC colleague Daniel Malloy....
Returns show that West's Democratic challenger, Patrick Murphy, edged out the incumbent with a winning margin of less than 1 percent.
And then, in 2016, he's going to run for president.
Run for president? When he couldn't even win reelection in his own congressional district? Well, of course -- right-wingers love stories of conservative heroes brought low by the evil liberal juggernaut. Look at how well Rick Santorum did for a while in the 2012 primaries (and he lost his Senate seat in a landslide). Look at how well Newt Gingrich did after resigning in disgrace in 1998.
West is out there right now blaming voter fraud for his loss. He's the perfect wingnut victim. If he runs, I guarantee you that at some point in 2015 or 2016 he'll be polling in the double digits, and will be in the GOP top three.

A Light Touch May Help Animals and Robots Move on Sand and Snow
Oct 10, 2015 — Atlanta, GA
Having a light touch can make a hefty difference in how well animals and robots move across challenging granular surfaces such as snow, sand and leaf litter. Research reported October 9 in the journal Bioinspiration & Biomimetics shows how the design of appendages – whether legs or wheels – affects the ability of both robots and animals to cross weak and flowing surfaces.
Using an air fluidized bed trackway filled with poppy seeds or glass spheres, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology systematically varied the stiffness of the ground to mimic everything from hard-packed sand to powdery snow. By studying how running lizards, geckos, crabs – and a robot – moved through these varying surfaces, they were able to correlate variables such as appendage design with performance across the range of surfaces.
The key measure turned out to be how far legs or wheels penetrated into the surface. What the scientists learned from this systematic study might help future robots avoid getting stuck in loose soil on some distant planet.
"You need to know systematically how ground properties affect your performance with wheel shape or leg shape, so you can rationally predict how well your robot will be able to move on the surfaces where you have to travel," said Dan Goldman, a professor in the Georgia Tech School of Physics. "When the ground gets weak, certain animals seem to still be able to move around independently of the surface properties. We want to understand why."
The research was supported by National Science Foundation, Army Research Laboratory and Burroughs Wellcome Fund.
For years, Goldman and colleagues have been using trackways filled with granular media to study the locomotion of animals and robots, but in the past, they had used fluidized bed only to set the initial compaction of the media. In this study, however, they used variations in continuous air flow – introduced through the bottom of the device – to vary the substrate's resistance to penetration by a leg or wheel.
Goldman compares the trackway to the wind tunnels used for aerodynamic studies.
"By varying the air flow, we can create ground that is very, very weak – so that you sink into it quite easily, like powdery snow, and we can have ground that is very strong, like sand," he explained. "This gives us the ability to study the mechanism by which animals and robots either succeed or fail."
Using a bio-inspired hexapedal robot known as Sandbot as a physical model, the researchers studied average forward speed as a factor of ground penetration resistance – the "stiffness" of the sand – and the frequency of leg movement. The average speed of the robot declined as the increased air flow through the trackway made the surface weaker. Increasing the leg frequency makes the speed decrease more rapidly with increasing air flow.
The five animals – with different body plans and appendage features – all did better than the robot, with the best performer being a lizard collected in a California desert. The speed of the C. draconoides wasn't slowed at all as the surface became easier to penetrate, while other animals saw performance losses of between 20 and 50 percent on the loosening surfaces.
"We think that this particular lizard is well suited to the variety of terrain because it has these ridiculously long feet and toes," Goldman said. "These feet and toes really enable it to maintain high performance and reduce its penetration into the surface over a wide range of substrate conditions. On the other hand, we see animals like ghost crabs that experience a tremendous loss of performance as the substrate changes, something that was surprising to us."
The robot lost 70 percent of its speed even with wheels designed to lighten its pressure on the surface.
Skiers and beachcombers can certainly understand why. As the surface becomes easier for a ski or foot to penetrate, more energy is required to move and forward progress slows. Human and skiers haven't evolved solutions to that problem, but desert-dwelling creatures have. The research, Goldman says, will help us understand how they do it.
"The magic for us is how the animals are so good at this," he said. "There's a clear practical application to this. If you can get the controls and morphology right, you could have a robot that could move anywhere, but you have to know what you are doing under different conditions."
As part of the research, Georgia Tech graduate students Feifei Qian and Tingnan Zhang used a terradynamics approach based on resistive force theory to perform numerical simulations of the robots and animals. They found that their model successfully predicted locomotor performance for low resistance granular states.
"This work expands the general applicability of our resistive force theory of terradynamics," said Goldman. "The resistive force theory, which allows us to compute forces on limbs intruding into the ground, continues to work even in situations where we didn't think it would work. It expands the applicability of terradynamics to even weaker states of material."
In addition to those already mentioned, co-authors include Wyatt Korff from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Virginia, Paul Umbanhowar from Northwest University, and Robert Full from the University of California at Berkeley.
This research was supported by the Burroughs Wellcome Fund and by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) Micro Autonomous Systems and Technology (MAST) Collaborative Technology Alliance (CTA) under cooperative agreement number W911NF-08-2-0004, and by the National Science Foundation Physics of Living Systems CAREER and Student Research Network and ARO Grant No. W911NF-11-1-0514.
